Montrose, Colo., Sept President Taft passed the day on the 'western slope of the Rocky Mountains and amid a succession of, scerres typical of the great r western country. In many respects this day wa-? one of the most interesting he had since leaving Boston. Late this afternoon Mr. Taft stood on the brink of the deepest irrigation ditch in all the West and far out in the foothills, with not a settlement in sight, made the eectrical connection which started a flow of water through the Gunnison tunnel that -will re claim 140,000 acres of arid land. It -was the setting in operation of the greatest irrigation project the United States government ever has underaken ami the opening was made the occasion of a joy ous celebration throughout the valley of the Uncompahgre. Before traveling out to the west portal of the tunnel on a little narrow-gauge train, the Presi dent visited the Montrose county fair and after some formal speech making, in which he and the mayor and the governor and sev eral others participated, he was given a real touch of western life a relay race of cowgirls. Girl in "Knickers" Wins. The race was arranged especially in honor of the. President and vas a novel and exciting affair. A girl of l(y wiis matched against twx older riders, and, carrying the sympathy of the crowd with her from the start, won the two-and-a-half mile race -with three changes of horses by almost a quarter of a mile. The little girl, Miss Bertha Elsie Hull, wore knickerbockers, while the two older riders wore undivided skirts this handicap turned the tide of the contest, and with the second change of horses little Miss Hull was gaj loping along so far in front that the result -was never again in doubt. All three of the riders were presented to the President, who climbed into the judge's stand on the Fair Ground track to witness the race. During his travels today the ' President had ample opportunity to study the effect of irrigation. For a long time his train would run through stretches of country where as far as the eye could, reach the only vegetation in sight consisted of a few grease wood buslres or sagebrush. Then out of a rocky canyon the train suddenly would rush upon a veritable oasis, "where waving greefields of alfalfa and miles of orchards with trees laden with fruit told of the miracle wrought by the touch of water. Visits the County Fairs. At Grand Junction and at Mtitrose the President visited the fruit exhibits of the county fairs and was told the almost unhelievabl story of the season's yield. Enormous peaches, apples, pears, plums, vari-colored grapes and almost every other known fruit, as well as enormous samples of -the vegetable growth of the district, were shown to the President, who had an admiring word for all. At almost every stop the baggage car was laden with fruit. One little box, a yard long, was just big enough to hold' tea peaches arranged in a row. The scene attending the open- " ing off the Gunnison tunnel was picturesque. On either side of the deep ravine leading away from the portal of the great bore, sevral thousand people were gathered. A little stand had been erected for the President and his party right at the ede of the cut and looking Vlown ISO feet to the opening of the tunnel. The tunnel has been hewn through six miles of a mountain rarnge, and when the project is completed next spring will divert the waters of the Gunnison river,- now flow ing away in haste, to the valley this side of the mountains, where minor private projects of irrigation already have told the wonders df the soil. Is Given Key to Montrose. During the day Mr. Taft was presented with a golden key to the city of 'Montrose, a gold badge commemorating his visit and a gofcJ table bell. It was with this little hell that the President opened the tunnel. The weight of bell when set upon a copper plate representing the 'district of reclaimed lanVls, made the electrical connection which caused a squad of laborers several miles away, to knock down the bulkheads which were holding back the waters of the river. As the muddy wall of water rushed noisily out of the concrete hole the crowd cheered.

HE DISPUTES

TAFTS VIEWS LA FOLLETTE ANALYZES PRESIDENT'S TARIFF SPEECH. Deems Statistics Absurd And Says He Cannot Be Read Out of His Party. President Taft's Winona speech on the tariff is taken by Senator LaFollette as the theme of his leading article in the issue of La Follctte's Weekly Magazine, in which he analyzes the President s utterances from the "insurgent" point of view. The senator , from Wisconsin asserts that the analysis of the tariff changes presented by the 1 'resident is the one printed in the Congressional Kecor ' by'Sereno E. Payne when he laid the conference report on the bill hefore the House, and that no statician would regard the figures as worthy of consideration. He says that not even the President candecide for the American peo pie whether or not the tariff law is genuine or counterfeit." Regarding President lalts re marks concerning the 'insur gents" who voted against the bill, LaFollette. who was one of the leading spirits among the "insur gent" forces, says: "So individu al has the power to read a repre-, sentative out ot his party, and that no party can have a higher purpose than that of redeeming its promises. The article is mild in tone,' but it is followed with another under the caption, "Will Mr. Sherman Please Explain ?"in which LaFollette comments shandy on the a w speech made at Kansas City re cently by the Vice President, say ing among other things: "The Republican party through its leader, promised downward revision. It gave the people up ward revision. . By what logic can Mr. Sherman construe that into a 'fulfillment' of party pledges? Is it possible that the Vace President is trying to han'd the middle est a piece of bun combe ?" Text of the Article. The article on the President's Winona address reads in part as follows : "The President declares the law is more than an ettort : it is a fulfillment of the promise o downward revision. He makes this declaration in the middle West, .where sentiment for down ward revision is overwhelming He makes it in a section whence come those senators and representatives who.recognizing clear ly the wishes of their constituents and knowing how little these w'shes were shared by the lead e:s in both houses of Congress found it impossible to vote for the bill prq)ared under the dom ination of Aldnch and Cannon. "The President comes with this declaration ' to the support of Congressman Tawney, who is out of harmony with the sentiment of his district, and therefore in trouble. He comes to the support of Tawney, who is Cannon's chairman of the House committee on appropriations Tawney, who has been notoriously opposed to downward tariff revision Tawney, who 'stood pat.' Attacks Taft's Analysis. "In the course of his speech the President presented an analysis of the tariff changes effected by the new law. This is the same analysis that was printed in the Congressional Record by Chairman Payne, when he laid his conference report on the bill before the House. This analysis purports to measure the importance of tariff changes by the 'consumption value' of the commodities affected. "To attempt to determine the value of the consumption in this country of the thousands of articles embraced in the tariff schedules as there classified is to enter into the realm of pure speculation. The information does not exist. Xo statistician, who is more than a mere juggler of figures, would regard such a calculation as worthy the slightest consideration. Quotes President's Words. "The President is reported as having said: 'It was a question for each man to settle for himself. In -matters of this kind it is a que lion with the party representative whether he shall help maintain the party solidarity for accomplishing its chief purposes or whether the departure from principle in the bill as he regards it is so extreme that he must in conscience ahandon the party." There can be no 'chief purpose' of a political party higher than the purpose of redeeming its promises to the people. It is not the representative who seeks to make legislation conform in letter and spirit to these promises, who abandons his party. It is not the representative who refuses to give his sanction to legislation that repudiates these promises who abandons his party. "A representative is in no wise compelled to accept the alternative of abandoning principle 'or ahandoning his party. Emphatically not when the principle is one that has heen accepted by the party as the basis of its appeal for votes. That appeal, when accepted by the voters in good faith, becomes binding upon the party representative an obligation higher than the mere demands of party solidarity under a misrepre-

fentative leadership in Congress.

"Power Rests With Voters." "This statement of the Presilent was featured in the oress of the country as an Ittempt to read out of the party hose Republican senators and representatives who voted against the' tariff hill. That cannot be done. Xo individual las the power to read a represen tative out of his party. "That power rests solely with the voters who selected him as their party representative. Is is for them, and them alone,' to determine whether or not he has jecn unfaithful or indifferent to the trust reposed in him, to the promises which won their favor. Xor can even the President of the United States decide for the American people whether or not the tariff law is genuine or coun terfeit." Planning Big Labor Congress. Ralph M. Easlev, chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Civic Federation, has just returned to Aew lork irom a European trip, the purpose of which was to sound important government and lahor organiza tions of Europe as to the practicability of a great international labor congress to be held in the United States next year. The main object in view is to bring to bear light on American labor problems. Mr. Easley will not make his formal rejwrt until November IS, but he makes no con cealment of the fact that the pro ject was well received everywhere. He quotes John Burros, the English labor minister, with insisting that the shortening of the labor day is an international, not a national problem. Some of the things to be worked out in such a congress are methods of conciliation, arbitration, trade agreements, the shorter day, employers' liability, age pensions, industrial insurance, employment bureaus-, child and women Jabor, etc. Thus many of the devices already adopted' m , England, France and Germany would be brought to the attention of American labor leaders vaml statesmen. As for general labor conditions in Europe, says Mr. Easley, the unions in England are stronger than the Socialists, while in Fra'nce the Socialists are now a great menace. Carriers' New Roll of Honor. In Great Britain during he year 11)08 not one passenger was killed or injured on the railroads. That certainly is a splendid record, but it is no longer ka record which we in America need contemplate. There is a solid fact behind the claim of some of our railroad managers that travel is becoming safer in the United States and that serious accidents are rarer. We have referred to tire proud reports of the Burlington and Pennsylvania systems for 190S, which showed that on neither was a single passenger killed in that year. Since then the Santa Fe, which is shortly to publish its annual report, and the Chicago and Northwestern have applied for high places on the roll of honor. The Santa Fe carried 12,G05,(07 passengers in the twelvemonth in question without the loss of a single life. The Xorthwesfern carried 27,000,000 people during the fiscal year ended June HO without killing a passenger. As business has heen steadily gaining the notable improvement as regards safety cannot be attributed ehieflv to diminished pressure ami reduced traffic. It is ilue, rather, according to experts, to material and moral better ments to track doubling, exten s;on of block signals, greater care and stricter discipline. The adoption of efficiency tests on some lines has done something; public appeal and protest has been a factor; the right spirit of the employes has counted. Let the godd works go on. There is room for others on the new roll or honor. Record Herald. Seven Eggs in Thre Days. L. Kiger, living east of Etna Green, teils us the champion egg storv of the decade. He. states that he had a hen that laid two eggs one day, linked together by a shell tube about the size of a lead pencil. On the following 'ay she performed the same feat. Getting stuck on herself she maiK' a "Cook dash" for honors the following -day and laid a string of three eggs, linked together as the ones she had laid the two days hefore. Xow, you doubting 'lliomases, make a note of this. Bourbon-Mirror. Delays of Law Mitigated. It would seem that 'the 'law's delays," which even in the time of Shakespeare had passed .into proverb, are to he mitigated, if not abolished. President Taft seems in deadly earnest in at tacking the abuses, and, what is more encouraging, he has very practical and definite ideas as to methoxls of working a retorm. In both criminal and civil proced ures the procrastination of judi cial processes often end in the miscarriage of justice. It is to be hoped that congress will act i - promptly and wisely on the sug gestions which the president will make. Big Fish Story. Two bass, weighing 2 1-2 and 2 l-l pounds, respectively, were caught on the same artificial minnow and at the 'same time, by Warren Spiker, of Wabash, if the Plain Dealer of that place is to he believed. He had been fishing in Webster lake when he made the catch. Ii

CUPID'S MAIL

UNVEILED WOMEN MAKE LIVELY DAY AT CHICAGO POST OFFICE SUNDAY. Three Thousand Rage and Fume When Forced to Give Their True Names. Three thousand women, part of the army of persons in Chicago who obtain their mail at the general delivery window in the Chicago postoffice, revealed to the postal authoriti- s, many under protest, their true names and addresses Sunday. They were required to sign "card- of identification" and these were placed in ard indexes for reference at each recurring application for mail. The requirement, enforced Sunday, tears away part of the veil f secrecy under which many a clandestine correspondence has been- carried on through the me dium of the general delivery win dow and, in that respect if no ether, according to Postoffice In spector Stuart, its originator, will nroduce a reform for which ur-J gent deman'd recently has gone up from ministers, reform leagues and others working for the city s purification. What was required of the wom en applicants Sunday will be de manded of the men and boys un til the 10,000 patrons of the "gen eral delivery" shall have been en rolled or denied the privilege ot that method of correspondence. As a result of the postofhee in spector's order excitement ruled in the lower corridors ot the led eral huiMing all day. Many of the annhcants were married women, others were young girls ii eager for a letter that tihey dared not let their parents see. Almost all were indignant, and, when some delav caused the numher in waiting to increase to a crowd, Colonel Stuart was hissed rt peatedly. Resentment at the plan grew, and women in stylish attire join ed those of humbler garb in de nunciation of what they termed "an infringement of their rights Many turned away, refusing to .... . i- . i sign ine luemincauon taius, occasionally admitting that they had received mad for years at the general delivery window under assumed names and were unwill ing to use their own. Colonel Stuart said : Evil comes from the delivery of thousands of letters weekly to girls under age. Thousands daily receive mail under fictitious names at the general delivery windows, from which no good comes. The general delivery is lately overtaxed by the growing demands of fictitious letter writers. , Crime may oftentimes he prevented and more; easily detected when individuals receive their mail at their homes or places of residence. "We are doing this," said Colonel Stuart, "for the general good of the public and the service. If, after a card has been signed, the individual calls for mail under another name postal authorities will investigate the circumstances. If the person is a girl or young the parents will he notified. It is really surprising how many married women get mail tinder a fictitious name." Are Turks White Men? Naturalization was refused to 2,0(JT aliens during the past fiscal year, a material increase over the rejection of would be United States citizens during the preceding year. These cases have presented many and varied interesting questions. "When is a foreigner a Turk, for instance a white man?" is one of the problems that the naturalization officials have worked out. In a case that will be tried in the United States Circuit Court at Cinncinneti next month government has opjwsed the naturalization of a Turkish citizen on the ground that he is not a white person within the meaning of the law declaring that its provisions "shall apply to aliens being free white persons and to aliens of African nativity and to persons of African descent." The courts have construed that law as meaning only those so specified and as barring Chinese and Japanese and their half-breeds and Burmese, and have held that an Asiatic is neither a white person nor a person of -African descent within the terms of the statute that governs. Contain Too Much Alcohol. Supt. Whiteman of the Elkhart police force, had analyzed the samples of "near beer" left with him by a numher of Elkhart saloon men who were compelled to retire from 'business by the county local option law, and a report was received Wednesday that the. samples contained five per cent alcohol. The law prohibits the sale of beverages con'taining over two per cent, alcohol without a government and state and county license. Time Set for Census Test. Candidates from Indiana for appointment as census special agents to collect statistics on manufactures, mines and quarries must have in their applications before Oct. 25, and will be given the tests Xov. ii at Indianapolis, Bloomington, Evansville, Ft.

DEDICATE NEW PARK.

Extends Fourteen Miles Along Most Picturesque Portion ol Hudson. Xew York, Sept. 27.Ten vears of 'earnest lahor on tbp nart at first of a few fanatics, hut later with the co-operation of the bet ter citizens of Xew York and Xew Jersey culminated today in the dedication as an interstate puhlic park Of fourteen miles of river frontage containing the most picturesque portion of the Hudson river palisades. It had been rescued in very fact from vandals, inasmuch as in 1899, when the first-land was secured, it was from a contractor who was aljout to destroy, for the stone it contained, one of the finest stretches of the entire bank, that it was lxDught. The new park extends from Fort Lee, opposite 130th street, Xew York northward through Xew Jersey, to Piermont, X. Y., a distance of a little more than 14 miles. With its crags and woodlands, the park covers a territory of some 700 acres and is admittedly one of the most beautiful natural reservations in the east. It has heen purchased entirely by private subscription, nearly $200 000 of the total cost having heen contributed by J. P. Morgan. Governors Hughes of Xew York, Fort of Xow Jersey, Presi dent Stewart L. Woodford of the Hudson-Fulton celehration com mittee, Edwin A. Stevens, presi dent of the Xew Jersey park commission George W. Perkins, president of the Xew York park commission and Rev. Howard C Robhins participated in the dedi catory exercises which were the chief feature of today's program for the Hudson-Fulton celabra tion. One of the features of the exercises was the firing of a sal tite of the new park by the Unit ed Mates warships anchored in the Hudson river off palisades. So soon as the exercises in Xew Jersey were ended, the distin guished guests were conveyed hurriedly to-Spuyten Duyvil hill, in the i Bronx Xew York, where a monument to Henry Hudson, erected by popular subscription, was dedicated. This was more or less an off day in the Hudson-Fulton celebration so far as the outdoor spectacles were concerned, so the hundrt'ds of thousands of visitor who are in the city thronged the streets and visited the various points of interest. BURGLAR ATTACKS GIRL. But is Captured by Father After a Desperate Struggle Frankfort, Ind., Sept. 2C Two young women are on the verge of nervous collapse and a man said to be Paul Benjamin, is in jail as the result of a sensa'tiona fight with a 'burglar early thi: morning at the home of Xathan Fletcher, a prominent business man. Miss Delia Fletcher was awak ened with a clutch of man's han J on her throat. The hurglar told her that he was an Italian from Chicago and demanded her money. She told him she had on ly $2 and would give it to him but the man demanded more. Miss Florence Fletcher, a sis ter, who was in the same bed was aroused by the cries of the other woman and the hurglar de manded money of her. She told him she had onlv $4, but would givv that. Miss Blanche Fletcher, another sister, who was sleeping in an ad joining room was awakened by the noise, and, hearing the tlnvats against her sisters, mingl ed with their pleading, scream ed for help. The father was aroused by the screaming of his daughters, and jumping from his bed made rush for the burglar. ine intruder started to run from the room, but Mr. Fletcher grabbed him. A desperate stru gle ensued, biVt Fletcher suece. 1 ed in overpowering the man af ter knocking him downstairs. One of the young women start ed to telephone to the police de partment, hut made a mistake and got the fire department in stead. The firemen soon arrived and took charge of the burg'ar who was still in the power Mr. Mctchcr. I Me minrlar was tdentihe:! as Paul Benjamin of this city. Ben jamin is said to have heen in pre "ous burglaries and was our o the JefTersonville Reformatory on parole for a burglary commtte' here in 1901. The Lesson it Teaches. "What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world an'd lose his own life" is said by expositors to be the true reading Of the often quoted Scripture. The lesson it teaches is strikingly enforced by the death of E. H. Harriman. Yet how many there are on humbler scales, perhaps, yet just as remorselessly sacrificing life and health in their mad pursuit of wealth. South Bend Times. Injuns, Injuns, Injuns. While Legrand, thirteen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Bush, was out in the woods with other hoys playing Indian last Saturday, he was wounded in the left hand by the accidental discharge of a blank cartridge. The wound was treated by a physician and anti-tetanus serum was administered, and no . serious results are anticipated.
