SANTIAGO. CHILE. Nov. 23.Thoo
dun- I(iHwttli tinlnj addressed one
nf ih most HPlKilitrl) audiences ho linn
Inroil slnco H rtittto tu South Amort-
nt Ills loplr wu "Tin' Democratic
Meii'innt in n Hopublle" nnd lie spoke
b"iire tliu uldnHl Institution for higher
iliicatfun on the continent thn t'nl-u-rsit
or Chile.
Tln university was founded by tht
Jesuits In J" IS. Col Itooiovelt re-
minded IiIh audience (lint although
C'lillc. jih it nation. wits younger than
tin- fulled States of Aiucrlcn ItH colo-
nial history was far longer. "Chile's
history" lio said "ob known to people
of European stock began three-quarters
of u century before the PnrltniiH
-landed nt I'lynioutli Hock."
Ills review of tin Democratic Move-
ment In Hip fulled States was con
fliivil mainly to thp twi'lvp years since
hn first bernme President. During this
period. Iip said. "Tin political move-
mnnt In the rnited States has repre-
sented chiefly tlm tiffort to put Into
actual and concrete performance the
principles which In thp abstract all
luti'lll.'nt hkmi admit to lie true.
"In barest outlluo." Iip Haiti "our
problems wore In the first placp to re-
more tin government tn th people hi
m to make the fact correspond with
tlm theory and In the second place
and oven more Important to use the
governmental power when thus res-
tared o as to tnakp us on Industrial
nitd economic iih well an a political
democracy."
Col. Roosevelt explained his vIowb
regarding th Judiciary and "big bus-
iness.' During thi last hnlf of tlie
nineteenth country hn assorted "the
lenders of reaction In thp United
Suites political and llnanclnl alike
gradually grew to recognise in the Ju-
diciary their most powerful potential
ally." Tho Judges hn said by their
training and aloofncHH of tlielr position
op the bench have little real knowl-
edge of or sympathy with the Uvea and
ticedit of the ordinary hardworking
toiler. The judges he declared wore
In reality "Irresponsible lawmakers
with a strong natural bias ngnliiHt ev-
ery species of reform legislation for
oclpl and Industrial relief and fair
play."
Ho repeated his campaign declara-
tions that "Dig Uualiiess has rome to
stay" and that the problem wub "ho tu
enutrol It and supervise It as to pre-
vent thern being any Improper nduin-
tako taken by big business t the ex-
pense of small business."
Speaking of the Republican party.
Col. Roosevelt said. "There was In
the I'nlted States n hlstorlcnl party
the oiie to which I thou belonged
which If true to its origin would have
championed without exception every
single one of the reforms which Hie
1'ruKnwnlvo have championed
THE WATER QUESTION.
Mr Kdllor- I do not want our peo-
ple to worry ovor the "water supply"
Tor I do not" think there is any special
otaslou to do go Tho wner has
been tut off tuntpnrarlly for tho reas-
on that the pipit leading from tho
Cameron' dam to the pumping Hn-
tin ik out of commission and cannot
In repaired until the creek runs
Unjt Hijlllolent to enable the wutor
i.i.ii'iiuy to get at it for repairs. The
ruiittiuiflil rains hate wet the ground
so thoroughly that It Is quite probable
practteallj mm that tin creeks wil
r-ii all winter unit until up Into
springtime and they will furnish a
tifxtnttful supply of wutor for iih for
alt purpomm. There will be no need
i.r irrigating tho tarda and gardens
tliuitigli the winter and I reel sure
that vl will have plenty of water t
lal us until the dam can bo repaired.
Tlie ralus hiivo beoit a great blessing to
he country at largo and the volume
nt -water in Hm inW did twl iu !h
lo.k fn tho dam and we are Indeed
fortunate lit not having It happen In
the fcutiimer or during a dry season
We certainly should congratulate our-
selves and be thankful. Truly.

before 10 o'clock Sunday morning fol
lowing heavy rains on tho upper cours-
es of Lytle creek lotting 800000000
gallons of storage water escape Into

structure Is estimated at approxi-
mately $20000. The delivery pipe from
Cameron Lake dam to the city water
pumps on North Second street wuk
broken under the Texus and Paclllc
railway bridge by the terrible oroslng
power of the Impetuous wuters as they
passed under tho structure and tue

Break Gradual.
The break seems to have been grad-
ual. There was no sudden break It Is
said though the rushing water soon
eat away all conflicting material in
its path The water spread over the
entire valley for many feel and the
water rosa near thn Abilene and Nor-

danger chnwlna; their cuds In patur
that wore near the fringe of the Im-
pounded water.
The main bulk of the water passed
and suspended only by poles elsewhere
that had not received the brunt of the
rushing wuters. The first Intimation
that Texas and I'uclllc employes had
of the bursted dam was when water
began to rise conspicuously upon the
pumping station of the road. The
pumper line Just leit the pump station
leaving a new- hat and about J 10 worth
of tools therein In a short time his
attention was attracted to the water
rising un on the structure. It wns Im
possible to save anything The water
carried the shack under the bridge it
had no floor and It presumably con-
tinued its flight down tho stream
Tho terrible strains of tho fito call-
op called people from over tho entire
city to the stream. When tho word
iwwlrttilfcte'tharuth big Lytle Lak
dam had gone out there wns some con-
sternation among thu residents in the
lower part of the city but those who
know say that the water at no time
during the htgh rise reached anything
like the record that has been seen.
Sotno state that the water was higher
nt the Texas and Pacific bridge a few
years ago.
