speech he denounced Roosevelt.

said Mr. Gruber, "I warned a Rop.ib

Tells Irrigation Congress No
State-Should Profit at An
other's Expense.
G-OVERNMENT SHOULD
DISTRIBUTE WATERS
Pueblo, Colo., Sept. 27. "The govern
ment most assuredly should distribute
the water of all interstate streams. Col
orado, Nebraska and New Mexico are
sister states and no one state has a
right to ask -to have its interests looked
after at the expense of the other. It
(you claim all the water that falls in
Colorado then we people below vou de
mand that you keep it all, don't send
down your floodwaters upon us to
wash us away when you don't want them
and then keep the irrigation watw
when you want it and we need it."
j.nis was William J. Bryan's declara
tion to Colorado before the irrigation
congress Monday evening. Mr. Bryan
came out flatfooted for federal con
trol of interstate streams and if the
Coloradoans ever had a g"un of any con
sequence io fire in their fight on the
Engle dam it is generally conceded that
it was spiked by the Commoner. The
idol of Democracy spoke for an hour
on Irrigation and every rererence to the
atitude of the Coloradoans' demand for
all the water falling in the state was
against that policy and a declaration
for the rights of all the states through
wnlch the streams flow. Every state
ment of this character was met with
vigorous applause and plainly showed
that the convention is not yet ready to
go on record as favoring state's rights
in the matter of controiing interstate
streams.

He said he was for the state adminis

declared it the duty of the federal gov

timber, water and these other natural"
resources. He merely wanted each

had been set aside. He did not let it

Sad Story Of Cars
and Mexican Anger
It is painful to tell about it because
it Is so sad. But it must be done for
the good of t'ne dear public.
Over in Ciudad Juarez there are
many men and women who -work in El
Paso. Many of them are so poor that
thej' cannot afford alarm clocks, and
find ordinary clocks and watches a
useless luxury.
So the first, Mexico car of the morn
ing which spins about the Mexico loop
is a sort of alarm clock. It wakes the
sleepers, and bids them up and to work
in the El Paso smelter or in an El Paso
department store.
Now, here's the rub.' During the
gambling fiesta, closed Sunday, street
cars were run all night to and from
the Mexican city. On tne first morning
that it happened about 100 persons
aroe between 1 and 2 a. m., dressed
and hurried over to El Paso to go to
work.
And every 'little iinorning" of this
week more or less have done the same.
They sit around in the plaza during
the rest of the night and mutter, Mexi
can ' curses, with "going -to work time
five hours away.
Now, isn't It sad?
