Roosevelt visited Governors Is

Eusky gentlemen going through
Ebp "manual of arms" with
lbroomsticks instead of guns.
When the Colonel returned
H. New York he gathered the
newspaper reporters around

Clubs of the Cavemen?" That's

Now, for the fact: There are

for the regular army and the

WILSON, and one of the bust
ness men involved is taking a
leading part in organizing a
patriotic parade.
The newspapers have carried
clrcumstantial stories about
hundreds of Germans crossing
the Rio Grande and "concen-
trating' somewhere in Mexico,
presumably for the purpose Of
attacking this country in the
event of war. The War De-
partment officials have Just de-
med this report. Less than 100
Germans have crossed the in
ternational boundary since the
situation became acute.
| might cite other canards,
but the above will suffice. We
undoubtedly have foes within
our borders, but they are not
numerous and will be taken
care of.
Stock-Raising Homesteads
| am receiving a great many
| inquiries concerning the $40
acre homestead law. Probably
$4,000 filings have already
been made, although the gov
ernment has not had an oppor-
tunity to designate an acre of
land under the new act. Of
course, entries cannot be acted
upon until such designation
has been made.
The Geological Survey has
been entrusted with the work
and Congress has been request
ed to provide $150,000 to meet
expenses. This was one of the
items in the Sundry civil appro-
priation bill which was lost in
the filibuster which marked the
closing days of the last Cong
ress. We will probably get it
through soon after the extra
session convenes.
The Survey officials promise
they will not waste any time in
beginning operations but they
warn entrymen that they must
be patient.
While I was chatting with an
officer of the Survey a clerk
entered with a bundle of over
900 entries, the receipts for
one day.
"That's the way they have
been coming for weeks" said
the official. eve must make
physical examination of each
entry. That involves the en-
ployment and organization of
very large force. And we
haven't a dollar with which to
operate
Recognition For the West
The West will receive more
recognition in the Congress
than it has ever been accorded
before. So far as | have been
able to discover, no member OF
the House from Colorado has
in the past been honored with
the craftsmanship of a commit
tee. The same is true of prac-
tically all the other states.
In this Congress, Colorado
will at least have two chair
manships, and maybe three,
and the adjoining states will
be equally fortunate. The Vest
will also be better representa-
on the big committees of the
House. Heretofore, practically
all these assignments have
gone to the East and South.
This increase in prestige IS
traceable largely to the fact
that the West has not been
changing it's representatives of
late. Seniority counts for much
IN Washington, and however
brilliant the new man may be
he must begin at the bottom OF
the ladder and serve his ap--
premiership. Members seldom
secure a chairmanship until
their third terms, and there are
men who have served six or
seven terms without achieving
