Federal storage Reservoirs

Those who look to the construction

problems End great encouragement
and hope for the final full adoption
of the policy by the gnvernnnnS il,
the recent report OF Secretary Of War
Alger, recommending the construction
of storage reservoirs in the west.
Those who desire the warer TO make

are not going to SPLIT hairs upon the
ostepsible or Immediate pprposei Of
their construction. They will aid
navigation by regulating SfA fow Of

reason for construction. Let them
be constructed 10 subserye the lesser,
aid at the same time utilized to ac-
co,nplish the greater purpose, aud q
double triu,nph will have been achiey-
ed. The construction Of storage res
ervoirs, irrigaeion works. and flood
protection works in the whole Mis-
s'ssippi valley is all really one great
+
national problem which the govern
tnent fhonld seize hold upon as IN
entirely and devote its whole power
tn it's solution, having always in mind
the great ultimate eLd Of creating
rural homes and bringing gradual
.,nahc,patiop to the wage earners pf
the e.onn!ntry.
Secretary A)ssr in bis report says
that.
"Reservoir construction in the arid
region would reduce food height Of
the Missouri riyer during the June
ri.e. which is indispensable to the

highest dsveloppen5 Of that secttllipn. ttllip

troll Of irrigation works. The govern
ment should acquire full title and ju.
risdiction 10 any site it improves and
full rights to the water. The total
extent Of a reservoir system IN the
arid regions which, shall render avail
able the entire flowing streams will
not exceed l,l6l, 100000 cubic feet.
If its construction were to consume a
century in time it would represent an
annual storage of about 10000, 900, :
900 cubic feet or 276,80O acre feet.
At$5.37 per foot this would cost
$l,432,7l6 per annum. This amount

And bio ID Of the self-ssme clan

And answer as man to man;
Aud lovally love and trust each other az

And the Star Spangled Paaner puf1Fl
with these
A message to frisnds and foes
Wherever the sails OF peace are seen and
wherever the war wind blows
A message to bond and thrall to wake
For wherever we come, we twain
The throne of the tyrant shall rock and

And his merace be void and vain.
For you arp lords of a strong. young land
and we are lords of the main.
Yes this is the voice the bluff March

Hon. Heber NJ. Wells, Goyernor ST
the State Of Utah:
De,r Governor--Wa have read
with much interest your preclamation
to the people of our states. in which
you call, in response to the President
of the United states, for the enlist
meqt.of 500 men to furnish Utah's
qnota Of the l25, 900 volnnteers call
ed for by the President to serve in
the army Of the United States for
-
two years.
The people whom we represent are
lovers of peace, and would do any
thing in their power. consistent with
honor ard the patriotic dnty which.
every citizen owes to his country, to
avert war and its dreadfu.. traii4 Of
consequences. Because of this feeling
We have been led to admire the course
which has been taken by President
Mckinley throughout this Spanish
lln'broglIo, ard we have hoped that
his efforts to preserve peace oetwpen
the two countries, would result in
success.
But war las heen dsclared, and we
have II to tnfut Our citizens are
are called upon to enlist. and l'ah Is
asked to- furnish cavalry and l,att-r:es
of artillery approSimatins 300 mep.
We trust that thu citlzens nf Utah
who are Lattcr-dav Saints will l,t.
found ready To respond with alacrity
to this call which is made upon our
State. There was time III the past
when we were called upon, rs re-
iiglous organization 10 make far
greater sacrifice than this. under cir
cumsta.l.es that we're exceedingly
painful. Then there was no hesita
ton; but upwards Of one--third Of the
men of suitable age formed battalion
Of 500, left the camp and volunteered
to take part in the Mexican war. In
like manner there should be- no hesi-
tation now; and we sincerely trust
that your recruiting officers will 6pd
our co-religionists rs really now to
enlist and march to the defense of
their country as their fathers were
in the days to which we refer,
Trusting that you will be eminent
" successful in raising Utah's proper
quota of volunteers, and praying that
the Almighty will protect our nation

replacing of those who are just becom-
Ing fully advised by a new and raw
crowd of appointees. We surely can
take a lesson from the experience of
England in this respect. The young
man who is trained for colonial or con-
sular service in that country generally
begins at the bottom. and reaches the
top through years of meritorious ser
vice and the development of native
ability for the posts he fills, supple
nnented by the value of his experience
CT the conditions into which he is
thrown.
Nor is it thinkable that these colonies
are to be overrun by a host of place
hunting strangers. Just as far as it
is possible to safely proceed in that di-
rection there must be home rule for the
new possessions Just as far as ability,
general fitness and trustworthiness pre-
| entertain the belief will be, employed
in the colonial service. The need is to
get the Government as closely to the
| people who are to experience a change
as is possible, and this end will be
promoted by the home rule plan to the
extent that it is safe in protecting ma
tional interests and carrying forward
the national scheme of betterments in
the new possessions.
We repeat, we fear the natives of the
new colonies and stations, the local
conditions and insurgents, the change
itself, less than we do the dangers
which will confront us from the poll
tician class which will endeavor to
control the patronage in the colonies
and feather personal nests. The doc
| trine ito the victors belong the spoils'
cannot be applied in the government
of cur colonies. Wisdom, purity of pur-
pose, gained experience, gentleness,
mercy, firmness, patience, native abil-
| ity clear and cool judgment and I'M
sWerving integrity-these are what
must characterize our representatives
| in the new lands we are to govern.
Without these qualities in our Federal
servants, without permanency of posi-
/ ton and without purpose rising high
above the questions of party, of rewards
and spoils, our colonial system will
| prove scandalous and failure. With
! these qualities and modified civil serv-
ice regulations for all the representa-
| tive, clerical and business positions
under the Government below the rank
no reason is discoverable why our con-
| troll of the colonies should not be the
most successful known to human his
tory.

The war p1anks in the Democratic
platform attempt to fofestall any ad.
vantage the Republicans might at.
tempt to claim. Possibly. But the
Republican party wants no unfair adj
vantage It is willing to stand upon
the record. Fact IS, however, as ar
exchange we'll and pertinently says:
THE war is not a Republican war, but
the Republican Administration Is en-
titled to credit for conducting it we'll
and to the political advantage implied
in that credit, as much as it would be
for any other good record"
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1898-08-28

General Shafter is not in favor with
the yellow journals and accordingly
they have conjoined in an effort to
smirch him as a military commander
and to impugn his judgment and mo-
tives as a man. Every error, blunder
or neglect related to the Cuban army
of occupation, is laid at his door. Even
matters over which he had no charge
and could not have, things it was i'm
possible for him to oversee or order
attended to, concerns Of distinct and
independent departments, mistakes of
the medical and quartermasters' depart
ments, beyond his jurisdiction or con-
trol-all these are laid up against Gen
eral Shafter by the yellow journals. 1t
is all done in a cunning manner,
wedged in among conspicuous news,
given the guise Of verify and set out
with the air of perfect fairness. But
all the same the effort to down the
General and attach blame to him where
no blame can be justly charged is per-
sistent and malicious.

1 will not recount the painful history,
nor dwell upon the deplorable condition
of our local Democracy. 1t is but difficult
to speak of this branch of the party in the
language of polite correspondence. Let 1T
here suffice to say that our local Democ-
racy is under the dominion of a man who
has been publicly charged with having
openly and notoriously purchased votes on
last election day. This charge has been
strongly supported by the sworn and re-
corded testimony of several citizens; yet,
although this crime against the elective
franchise is a blow at the very heart of
our liberty, crime more dreadful in its
consequences than murder open trea-
son, no citizen has yet manifested sufficient
confidence In the Democratic officers who
are charged with conducting public pros
ecutions 10 even file a complaint against
this alleged offender.-James @. Mcguire
