 Times. will be neither crippled nor killed by tha policy of national ir- rigation. The fact that there are now thousands of acres of good
 land uuder reliable water privileges
 not under cultivation is used by Eastern antagonists of a national irrigation policy to prove that at present 2, ms,ore land Is needed and promoters of water systems say it also proves that those who have put out money to develop the country will be ruined when the Government shall adopt plan of national irrigation. Both are wrong. The men who have devised these extensive systems of land reclamation are not destined to lose their investments. Should they look for an immediate sale of their land at a profit they would be
 disappointed but let the Govern ment step in, build water systems, throw open the land at small price with adequate water rights, and the result would be that the land of the entire surrounding country would at once become more valuable. There could never b enough land to more than sup ply the demand. and values would as surely enhance as that of city tut built about on every side by substantial property.
 The fact that there iS much land under water systems still unculti- vated does not prove that more land IS nc. deSlrable-IS not needed The land is not taken up because Eastern families who would like to come and who would make desir- able settlers if they came, cann' afford to pay the cost of transpor- lalion, the price of the land and the added burden of a water right. Throw open the land without the water burden and q stampede will immediately follow. How long would the Middle West have been in settling up if the land had been held at prices ranging from $20 Io $100 an acre?

NATIONAL IRRIGATION
 CONGRESS.
Meets at Missoula, Montana,
 September 25th.
Is a Representative Body.

The approaching session of the National Irrigation Congress prom ises to be the most successful meet ing of that body since it's organiza- ti0n. Several matters of vital ill- terest to the West will come before the congress for it's action. Not the least important of these is the grazing land question. For sever al years the congress has endorsed the policy now advocated by the Department nf Agriculture of leas- ing the public lands for grazing purposes, the title to remain in the nation and the revenue derived lhtreIrOm 10 he used by the States for irrigation development. This policy is undoubtedly gaining ground as it becomes better under stood. Many other subjects rclar- ed to irrigation sill also come up for discusSiun.
 Briefly stated the objects sought by the congress are the leasing of the grazing lands, the conSiruc.io ion ny the G"vtrLmrnl If storage res voirs. the 1 reservation of the for ests as d source of water supply. and the adoption of harmonious system of irrigation laws through out the West.
 It is expected that several Gov ernors of States will be present and members of Congress and others of the most prominent men of the West, Delegates and others attend ing the congress to be held on Sep tember p, 26, 27. may buy tickets to MisSoula and return on Septem-

ShaI! We Return to the Rod?
ROBERT ELLIS THOMPSON.

 marks were Ilade upon the boy. not up on the roll-book, and the examination he had to undergo was to ascertain whether he had protected himself in any forbidden way against the rod.
 This stands for a vast amount of cru city done away with, for the rod was a terror 10 timid and feeble children, which made their life very hell upon earth. The first schoolmast4r I was subject to was inst such tyrant as George Macdonald describes in his Alec Forbes of ilowglen. He f1ogged for the pleasure of it. and embraced every ocra- sion for inficting whipping, as reliev- ing the mOnotony of school life.

 In the public schools of England such whippings were inflicted, and still are so for offenses distinctly specified, and with due deliheration, by the head master of the school. Generally all the hnys who have earned d foggiEg repo t for it after the morning .oll-call and be- fore the regular work of the school be gins.

of the human ailments can be traced
directly to a disorGered condition OF
the kidneys. The kidneys are the
filters of the entire system; if they
become clogged or in any way do not
perform their natural functions, the
element reaching the kidneys
through some other channel imme-
diately returns to that channel which
is unnatural and causes trouble. A
restlessness should not be left to con-
tinue; a mild kidney remedy should
be at once administered.an and the best

AN ELEGY IN BROOKLYN.

Some subtle instincts told the knel cf day,
And to the bridge a struggling herd dcth fee.
To jangling cars it fights its frantic way
And trolleys back to Brooklyn and to me.
And now chimes forth the urgent tocsin bell
From every boarding house along .se street.,
Reluctantly bid the muse farewell,
Adieu until get bite to eat
But now the frugal evening meal is ;'ast
I've hied me back again to WOO ths muse,
And, as the deepening shadows close in fast.
In reveries fain myself would lose
Now glims the distant street lamp my sight.
And all the air deadly stiffness holds,
Save where two cats upon the back fence fight,
And some too irate nursemaid loudly scolds,
Save that from every open window near
Music bursts forth with its voluptuous swell.
And all the tunes familiar for year
Make one grand symphony Of bang and yell.
Yet all but those who struIn or think they sing
Upon their front steps sweltcr in the heat.
Strange how it takes hot summer nights to bring
Euterpe fairly down upon both feet!
And as ponder this wondrous thing
Light zephyrs stir and gently ian my cheek.
All! what is that? Methinks to me they bring
Back fragrant memories of Gowanus creek.
And now in spite Of all that have said,
Some claim in this Elysium to reside
Who from its charms precipitate have fed
And left the bosrder in his pomp and pride.
1 will not strive their natures to disclose
Nor waste another line on souls so dead.
It's waxing late, and must seek repose-
At all events. guess III so to bed
