Parties Must Be
♦ Held to Account
for Acts—Davis
Democratic Nominee for Pres
ident Reviews G. 0. P.
Record in Speech at
Denver Thursday Night.
Denver, Colo., Sept. 11.—Pulling to
the people of Colorado and the west
"the plain question of honesty in gov
ernment," John W. Davis asked them
in an address here tonight to hold the
republican party "to the accounting
which is its due,” on the record of its
administration of government.
Reviewing that record in some de
tail, particularly with reference to the
leasing of the naval oil reserves and
tho handling of the reclamation prob
lem, the democratic presidential
candidate said he wished to keep con
stantly before the people of the Unit
ed State* the question of party gov
ernment and party responsibility.
"Unless political parties can be held
to strict nccount," be declared, "par
ty government itself Is a base imposi
tion and a fraud."
Accusing the republican party of
having broken most of the promises
made to the American people foui
years ago, Davis laid particular em
phasis on the subjects of conserva
tion and reclamation as those sir ik
ing closest homo to the people in this
section.
Recalls Oil Scandal.
"Four years ago the republican
party declared Itself the fast friend
of conservation and reclamation," hr
said. “What sort of a conservator it
proved to be we know, also too well.”
Reviewing then briefly the efforts
made under Presidents Roosevelt,
Taft and AVllson "to save from pri
vate greed and exploitation," enough
of the oil deposits of the west to
guarantee a reserve supply for the
navy In time of war, the speaker
sketched briefly the history of the
leasing of the reserves, and refericd
specifically to the payment of $109,
000 to Albert B. Fall by Edward h.
Dohcny and of $25,000 by Harry F.
Sinclair.
Turning then to reclamation,
Davis said a republican congress bad
failed to act on the report of the fact
finding commission which shower
ihe need, he said, for a prompt ad
justment of the charges made to set
tiers on irrigation projects.
"And If we are to judge from the
platform adouted by the republican
party,” he added, “nothing is apt to
happen.”
Reads Dawes’ Statement.
Reading then Charles fl. Dawes
statement that in the present condi
tion In agriculture "every reclama
tion project, whether by Irrigate n ir
grainage, furnishes added competi
tion for existing cultivated farms,
orchards and vineyards at a time
when we are already seriously cm
harrassed by overproduction in many
lines," Davis said:
"It is the duty of candidates to in
terpret their party platform, and the
present interpretation, reduced to
simplest terms, is a brutal statement
i— „ t-> settlers on reclamation projects
that they had no business there in
the first place, and ought to leave
ns rapidly as passible."
Davis contrasted the republican
platform with the declaration in the
democratic platform pledging that
parly "actively, efficiently and eco
nomically to carry on the reclama
tion projects, and to make equitable
adjustment for the mistakes the gov
ernment has made."

Court Rejects
Drainage Plan
Ditch Project
Held to Be Inequitable
and Impractical.
Glen wood, la., Sept. 11.—Judge O.
I>. Wheeler has filed a decree adverse
to the Fay Wright ditch in an ap
peal to the district court taken by
J. F. Lewis. Sam Welch, Harvey
Lean, et al, from the action of the
board of supervisors of Mills county
in establishment of the drainage dis
trict.
The proposed project was an effort
to get relief from flood waters of the
Micklewait branch and other small
tributaries which flow on to Missouri
river bottom, in the south edge of
Glenwood township, and floods a
large area of farm lands, becoming a
menace to some of the country roads.
The court finds that the plan pro
posed is not feasible and that the
expense of construction and main
tenance would be out of proportion
to the benefits relized.

Speedy American
Fox Eludes Wales
in Morning Hunt
H**ir to British Throne Fails
to Fall Off Horse During
Chase — Overlooks
Breakfast.
By ROLAND KREBS.
Syosset, N. Y„ Sept. 11.—His royal
highness went on his first fox hunt
today, but failed to get his fox.
Last night de danced, as usual, at
the home of Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt,
IT, leaving the party shortly after 2
o'clock, presumably to get to bed
early for today's hunt. More than
30 members of Long Island’s hunting
set gathered for the hunt after 6:30
o’clock this morning and after wait
ing a few minutes, with hounds strain
ing at the leash, finally rode off from
the estate of Robert E. Tod without
the prince.
About a mile down the roadway,
however, the prince, riding "Goat,''
joined the merry party and led off
by taking the first jump. Justwhere
he went after leaving the Vander
bilts Is not known, hut It Is said he
rode in the hunt without either sleep
or'breakfast.
After an hour’s riding, during
which all the hunters, including
Wales, took several high and nasty
jumps, a fox was chased out of the
bush and the hunt was on. The
prince, well in the lead, was in the
thick of the fray.
The American fox, disdainful of the
honor of having the heir of the Brit
ish throne on his trail, made a beau
tiful run and after three hours of
twisting and turning and jumping
over fences and through the brush
the fox hunters gave up the chase,
leaving the panting fox still alive
"somewhere on Long Island."
The prince’s hunting togs followed
a brown color scheme and consisted
of yellow doeskin breeches, brown
boots, brown checked coat, brown hat
and brown tie, a somewhat drab con
tract to the bright red coats of the
other hunters.
During the hunt Mrs. Hall, a sis
ter of Mrs. Lester Reed, wife of a
British army colonel, fell at one of
the Jumps and was stunned. Another
huntress received a sprained ankle
from a fall.
In the hunt the prince showed
once more that he is really an excel
lent rider and not the "rocking chair
horseman’’ the cartoonists and col
umnists have pictured. Riding fast,
the hunt at one time came to a five
rail jump which several riders rode
around. Wales, however, went at it
full speed and over In a beautiful
Jump.

When Peter Rabbit got bark to the

Mrs. Peter how Grandfather Frog

when he was out of water, and how
when he was under water lie breathed

Rabbit frankly said she didn't believe
a word of it. She declared that it

But Peter knew that this was not
so. He knew that Grandfather Frog
had told him truly. Ho had always

seemed a very wonderful person to
Peter.
At the first opportunity Peter wont

Grandfather Frog another call. Ife
hoped he might learn something more
as Interesting as the things he had
already learned. When he reached
the Smiling Pool he looked eagerly
for the green coat and whlte-and-yel

He didn’t see It anywhere. Peter was
disappointed. But he knew that
Grandfather Frog probably was dov n
in the mud at the bottom of Ih"
Smiling Pool, and that If he waited
long enough Grandfather Frog would
appear. So he sat down and tried
to he patient.
He had been sitting there only a
little while when he sriw a pair of
big, gogglj* eyes appear above the
surface of the Water. "There's Grand

watched eagerly as the owner of
those eyes started swimming toward
him. But it was a stranger to Peter

The big, strange Krog stared at
Peter for a full minute. Then he be
gan to chuckle. He chuckled and
chuckled until he almost choked.
Peter couldn't see anything to laugh
at. He thought this big Krog most
impolite. He began to grow angry.
You know no one likes being laughed
at.
“Peter! Peter!” cried the big Frog
"I’m surprised that you shouldn't
