glory and might, do not begin and end
with our little tiny selves, but that
we are items in the greater circum-
stance Of the moving forward of the
nation. Most of US are not called upon
to render our services to the country
under his trying conditions. All that
we have to do is easy compared with
that done by this brave young lad
What we have to do, as it were, is to
hold up our hands and be counted for
the right and against the wrong; yet
even this some of our coward natures
shrink from, as though life were given
to us merely to drift down the stream
like a twig.

TOO BUSY.
Stockton Record: It is related that
Professor Agassiz, in response to re-
quest to lecture for a very handsome
fee, declined, replying, i am too busy
to make money" Such people have not
yet died out. The French explorer
Marchand is of the same kind Asked
to lecture by an American, he declines
a munifcent offer. My wants are
few" he says, and he adds that II he
could lecture he would give all the
money he earned to beneficence. Then
there is General Leonard Wood, WEo,
though offered many times more than
the amount Of his salary of Governor
General of Santiago to accept posi-
ton with a big New York corporation,
turned deaf ear to the call of bust
ness and capital, preferring rather, at
a financial sacrifice, to answer the call
|of duty. There are. other such earnest
and self-sacrificing men in the world,
but there is room for many more.
FLOOD WATER STORAGE.
Santa Rosa Republican,: We hope
every reader of the Republican" Will
give careful consideration to the call
for a State convention to be held at
San Francisco November 18th, to dis
cuss the economic disposition Of flood
waters. AS this paper has repeatedly
said heretofore, this is one Of the great
industrial questions of our time. We
consider it the most important eco
nonic problem any commonwealth has
ever undertaken to solve. The stopping
of the great loss oecasioned by waste
flood waters and the storing of those
waters and making them of use for
generating power and irrigating fields
and orchards during the long dry
months of summer will be, worth many
millions of dollars to the State every
year. The Importance of this matter
is we'll stated in the call published by
us. Read it and re-read it carefully.
The best thought Of California is at
work on this question. The convention
has the support of many Of the lead
ing business organizations Of the State,
and gives promise of being a meeting of
great Importance.
