Two years ago, son after President

Mexico by telling the MexIcans whom

he doplorcd the fact that eighty-hye

''haye not been allowd to have a

to right this wrong In the course or
his meddlIng with the internal az
fairs of that country. Since the reg
ulatlon of home affairs Is not only
easier to accomplish but more in the
line Of his official duties, It is not
lmpertinent to suggest to the presi-
dent that there Is abundant opportu-
nifty for his activities in behalf OF
dIBfranchlsed voters right here In the
United States. The bureau of the

ITCH FOR OFFICE

We note that Charles W.. Bryan,
brothet Of William j., has announced
his candidacy for the Democratic no.
minati6n for governor of Nebraska. Like
the thrice-defeated presidential candi-
date, Brother Charles has acquired the
habit of running for office. Having
been elected mayor Of Lincoln, his am
| bition knows no bounds, but it is not
likely the Nebraska Democrats will
take kindly to him in this presidential
year, more especially as Brother Bill
is expected to bolt the national ticket
in case of the denomination of Presid-
ent Wilson, regarding which there is
but little doubt at the present moment.
So Brother Charles, who was not born
great and has not achieved greatness,
is not likely to have anything in the
line of greatness thrust upon him.
| Roosevelt and Bryan are not the
only men who seek the suffrages of the
people in season and out of season. In
all the states of the union there are
many men whose chief aim in life is to
hold office, and if they are unable to
hook the one for which they claim to
have special qualifications they will
take anything in sight. Once in, these
fellows usually pool their issues and it
is extremely hard to keep them from
controlling political conventions. Every
once in while there is a general po-
litical housekeeping and punches of
natural born officeholders are swept out
the back door, with fervent amens go
ing up in all directions.
1t quite frequently happens that
whole families are afflicted in this
manner. In such cases if one member
gets a place at the public crib othe-
members of the same family are sue
to be found munching the people, corn
and hay if it can be brought about by
the party of the first part. The prac-
tice is SO common that but little com
ment is caused.
This is the year for the officeseekers
and the politicians who pick up pre-
carious living for few months during
the heat of campaign. A president
and vice president, one-third of the
members of the United States senate
land the entire membership of the ma
tional house of representatives are to
be elected; many of the states will
choose governors, legislators and mem
bers of the supreme bench, while coun-
Ity Offices without number are to be
filled all over the country. The scramh-
lie will be something terrific and we
shall see some mighty familiar names
among the warriors on all the tick
ets.-Salt Lake Tribune.

OFFICERS MAY RAID PRIVATE
HOMES FOR LIQUOR

Seattle-Officers of the law have the
right to raid private homes in search
Of intoxicating liquor and confiscate
any intoxicants found in excess of two
quarts of spirituous or IL quarts Of malt

Saturday by Supreme Judge J. T. Ron
aid. The opinion was given in over
ruling the demurrer to criminal infor-
nations fled against William E. Boon
ing, the largest individual taxpayer in
King county, and John G. Eden, a
wealthy manufacturer.
Deputy sheriffs on January 20 raided
the suburban home of Mr.. Booming,
seized several thousand dollars worth
of rare wines and liquor and filed
against him charge Of having in his
possession more than the quantity al
lowed by law. Liquor belinging to
Mr.. Eden was seized January 10 when
the sheriff raided the Rainier club,
Seattle's prominent social club.
In his decision Judge Ronald upheld
every part of the prohibition law and
overruled the defendant s contention
that the entering of private homes was
in violation of the state and federal
constitutions. The defendant gave
notice of appeal to the federal courts.

and barns, but leaving everything they
had there. They have never gone back.
Those who remained have had hard
struggle during these years. If the
Utah Construction company carries OH.
The terms of the contract they will b.
rewarded with supply of water. Many
of the settlers who left but still have
their rights protected will return to
their lands. On their request that pro-
vision of the contract automatical-
ly expiring all old contracts May l.,
1916 will be extended to later date.
This date was set for the purpose OF
giving contract holders limited time
TO surrender their old contracts and
sign the new ones.
The controversy between the settlers
and the Utah Construction COMPANY
regarding the retaining of the Big
Lost river project appear to become
more confusing every day. The Big
Lost River Water Users association
has forwarded to the land board a
protest against the entering into a con-
tract as proposed by the state with
that company. The association mem
bers by unanimous vote directed their
attorneys, Clark & Brodhead, to file
suit in the state engineer office for
cancellation of the permit of the Utah
Construction company of the date of
1905, which was done today.
Protestants also make the resolution
hereto attached part Of their protest:
Whereas, Protestants pray that the
said state land board refuse to enter
into such contract until such time that
the water rights of said Utah Con
struction company are settled as to
their rights under said permits, and
until such time that the land board
may investigate the truth of this pro-
test.

.Mackay Dam Contract Approved by State
And Disapproved by the Water Users

The contract between the state OF
Idaho and the Utah Construction com.
pany for the retaining of the Big
Lost River irrigation project, for 10
years a bone Of contention that has
played prominent part in politics and
been before the courts and before the
land board, will be entered into. By
its terms the construction company
hopes to be able to complete the pro.
jects in units. Following an all-day
hearing yesterday the land board de-
cided by majority vote to approve the
contract presented by the Utah Con
struction company. The only dissent
ing vote was that of Governor Alex.
ander, the vote being to ] for the
contract, and it stood approved. The
preliminaries for signing it are now
being carried out.

w. A. Watts of Ogden, head of the
Utah Construction company, announces
that no time will be lost carrying out
the company's plans. Dirt will be fly
ing on the project, he says, within a
short time and every effort will be made
to work out the plans that have been
decided upon after careful engineer
ing Investigation.
In approving the contract major
ity of the land board took the stanJ
that the question of adjudication of the
water rights was one for the courts
and not the board; that the only issue
before the board was whether or not
the contract was proper one which
the state should be party to. This
was the contention of w. A. Watts
and Edwin Snow, counsel for the Utah
Construction company. The Mackay

ed to be on opposite sides of the issue.
The Mackay people as well as the Big
Lost River Water Users association,
were represented by Chase A. Clark
and w. A. Brodhead as well as SEN
ator Ravenel Macbeth and settlers.
They made the fight for the settlers
who have taken water from the river
and Antelope creek and put it to bene-
fetal use on their homesteads which
they have cultivated and improved.
/, This raised the question of priority of
water right as between these settlers
and the Utah Construction company
successor to the interests of rights of
1905 of the original Big Lost River r.
rigation company.
| Arco People for Contract
The Arco settlers and the town of
Arco represented by X. L. Molen, pres
ident of the Commercial club, contend
ed for signing the contract, setting
forth that the original settlers on the
project, many Of whom have spent ov-
er 10 years on their farms, believing
their contract with the original CON-
pany protected them, are entitled to
protection first and not the settlers
who have appropriated water from the
streams since 1905. The Arco people
wanted something done towards ac-
i've work on the project, and made it
plain they stood for its development by
The Utah Construction company.
The land board heard all parties in
terested and then went into executive
session where decision was reached
'egarding approval Of the contract. 1t
IS understood that the objection of the
governor was to some of the provisions
in the contract and not to the contract
as whole.

the project. The first contract for the

settlers entered the land in good faith

water. The water never came. They
waited in vain. On April 7, 1910 the
company served notice on them that
water would not be available until
June of that year. Postponements

number Of things are going to contri-

that the Democrats have played horse ;
with the question of rural credits, the
upsetting of the rural delivery routes
in that state, as well as throughout the
country, has stirred many of the farm

son. In the manufacturing sections,
the operatives and those connected with
the mills, are beginning to realize that
the Republican party is their real

are waking up to the Importance of the
protective tariff and how essential it is
to the progress and prosperity Of our
state. North Carolina in the course of
a few years is destined to swing to the
Republican column, if the tariff issue
