MODERNIZE THIS LAW aT the coming school elec tion no woman may vote unless she has a property qualification in her own name. She may have children in school, through marriage she may have an equity in a very large estate and she may be montallv nimllfipri in eVel"V way for the ballot, yet she is disfranchised.

THE COLONEL AND THE PIG TAIL Roosevelt rv HEN Col 'fff criticises those whom he charges with hav-! Is that judge right in his view ing "put a pig tail on Uncle ' 01 is he merely jealous of the Sam" it might be appropriate I speedier methods of the new for opponents to respond that j generation? Had the young if this country wears a "pig sters done wrong or was it the tail" seven years growth of judge who was out of gear that ornament may be charged with the world? IS "T'D take up smoking cigars if A I could find any brand I was sure of," said the pipe-smoker. "Say, did you ever try the OWL? Well, I've been smok ing it for years, and the way they maintain their even flavor in every box is remarkable." "Good enough! Guess I'll try the OWL. " That's all we ask. Try it yourself! THE MILLION DOLLAR CIGAR M. A. GUNST ft CO. INCORPORATED to T. Roosevelt For seven years the strenuous colonel was in the White House and his party was in control or both houses of congress. In that period the colonel had a splendid opportunity to give us such a navy as we needed and such an army as we needed. Whv didn't he do it? Does not the colonel make himself ridiculous when he at tacks the Wilson administra tion on the preparedness is sue? Presidnt Wilson has been in office but three years. He has had but half the opportu nity that Roosevelt had to build up our fighting forces. But he is doing more than Roosevelt did. Under the sanc tion of the president congress is passing legislation that will vastly increase the strength of; oh, the regular army and the na tional guard. The naval pro- . n x i. i.i vi am cans lor more worn, man jhas ever been done before in a j single year. It will restore us to second rank among the world powers, a position we lost during the Roosevelt ad ministration. If Roosevelt's own views on . preparedness are to be accept- od as correct the colonel is in the position of a man who fail ed to meet his duty when he was in office, yet is criticising a man who is really making 'good upon this subject. Can such tactics as that win anything? CHILDREN IN COLOGNE j OME boys and girls were recently arrested in Co logne for being on the j streets after nightfall. When the case came before the Kor rektionsgericht (court of cor rection) the parents advised that the children were out with permission from their homes. The judge however refused to accept that excuse ; he said that the children should have been in their homes and each parent was fined ten marks. 'being also admonished to take better care of their children. In his lecture the judge said "Children are inclined nowadays no ' more to be children, but assume the prerogatives of grown folks as soon as otten can tell nis ewers wnat even they have never learned. This pre cocity Is harmful, as the children ate not able to discriminate, and simply have their curiosity whetted before they are physically competent, which fact will lead them Into unnatura sensationalism. "As for the shows, a child must not be forced to witness the Intricacies of adult life before he is mentally com petent to Judge the sickly from the healthy, the weed from the whole- some plant; such things only excite unnealthy imaSery, without furthering ANOTHER "STRAW" 31 OR those who believe that the "straw" ballot has in it prophecies of the things to come there should be some little interest in the test now being made by a Detroit newspaper. A total of 12,637 votes has been cast up to the present, and President Wilson is in the lead. The factory vote gave him a very considerable lead. The colonel is second. Hughes is way behind. All of which shows if any thing is shown by it that (whoever the republican candi date may be, President Wilson is going to beat him Boston Post. FROM THE PEOPLE VETERANS U1VK THANKS. Pendleton.

Bel knap reservation lands does not fur. nlsh sufficient reason for a different principle of construction, he holds. Judge Phelps cites practical testi mony to the fact that water diverted from a stream for irrigation purposes to a considerable extent finds Its way hack to the stream to be used ugaln by those lower down. "It Is not like ly." he says, therefore, "that any beneficial use of the waters of the Umatilla by the Indians will seriously affect In the long run the use of the stream for the purposes of the mill company. "But, however that may be. I am of the opinion that by the holding ol the supreme court of the United States In the Winters case supra, the Indian has a primary right to the use of the water to the extent or his needs, limit ed only to a beneficial use under the general rule pertaining to the duty of water." Mill's I lis in- rp to tXHigrcas. As for determining the rights of the milling company at this time, Judge PhSlpl holds that any aol of his court at this time would be premature. On March 3, 1885 congress passed an act continuing the license grunted to deorge La Dow, Lot Llvermore et al for the use of water of tlie river in fa vor of W. S. Byers. Thut act speci fied that such continuance was not to affect or impair any existing rights Of to grant or confirm any right to use water beyond or different from the original license. It has been the contention of the government that this permissive use or license was subject to revocalon at Any time while the Byers mill intei- , ests asserted that a permanent right to the use of 10,000 cubic feet of water per minute was granted. In advance ! of any attempt by congress to repeal, I modify or withdraw the privilegSA ! mentioned. Judge Phelps holds that I any action he might take would be j premature and not olndlng. Such rights as are given to the milling I company must continue until some at- tempt Is made to take them away. Should this attempt be mude, a feder al question would arise to be settled in federal courts, he holds. However, such rights as the milling interests have, whether temporary or permanent, do not affect the primary rights of the Indians, he holds. The Duty or Water. As to the amount of water which should be allowed to waterusers for Irrigation purposes, Judge Phelps states that it Is difficult tu make an estimate. The law giveB them an appropriation sufficient for proper Ir rigation. Judge Phelps states that It Is not the policy of the government to deprive the land owners of a ne cessary amount but to limit the use to actual requirements. "Generally speaking the water user has been negligent," he says, "and either unable or unwilling to arrange to build up his system of irrigation so as to waste as little water as possible." In the main Judge Phelps finds the conclusions reached by the state wa- ter board to be correct but thinks that it is evident from tne testimony that in .the reclamation or arid lands a I larger amount of water is required i than allowed by the board. His opln- Ion Is that In the reclamation of arid I lands five and a half acre feet shoul i I be allowed instead or rour and a hall during the process of reclamation. 0ne fortieth of ji second loot or ,,n, the water master to determine the character of the soil and the ap llcatlon of water under the decree. In other words the decTM is a flexible one and under the supervision of the water master. More than one inch cannot be used and the water master Is given the authority to determine how much less is actually nacasaarv Doctrine of Kelution. The law gives a water user, when he secures a water right, a reasonable time in which to use this right and under this law Judge Phelps was call ed upon to consider the claims of the Western Land & Irrigation Co.. the Furnish Ditch Company, the United States and others relative to the dates of priority. In this connection Judge Phelps states that the water board recognizes there mast be a revision of . I'rnillitrni on .Inne 14 with the t the lists and schedules of lands, and the result of such revision he will In corporate In his decree.
