educational activity, and the anniversary will be
observed with special ceremony. A list of
speakers among whom are numbered many of
the foremost names in the educa tional and polit-
ical world of to-day, will bestow their words of
praise and coagratuatiOn for the past, of hope
and well wishing for the future. The responses
received frcm the alumni make substantial the
prophecy that the fair face of the fostering
mother will look upon the largest gathering of
her sons that has returned to do her honor

history. The former is a branch of the latter

and gave rise to the foundation of Rochester are

unnecessary. 1t was in 1917 that the first steps
toward the foundation of Rochester were taken

The National irrigation Congress

the National Irrigation Congress. !
The following resolutions were adopt !
ed by the National Irrigation Congress
at Chicago November "a, 1900:
"We hail with satisfaction the fact
that both Of the great political parties
of the nation in the last campaign de-
clared in favor of the reclamation OF arid
America, in order that settlers might
build homes on the public domain, and
to that end we. urge upon Congress that
national appropriations commensurate
with the magnitude OF the problem
should be made for the preservation of
the forests and the reforestation of do
nuded areas as natural storage reservoirs
and for the construction by the National
Government as part of its policy of in
ternal improvement of storage reservoirs
and other works for food protection and
to save for use in aid of navigation and
irrigation the waters which now ruu to
waste and for the development of arte-
sian and subterranean sources of water
supply.
'"rhe waters of all streams should for
ever remain subject to pnblic control
aud the right of the use or water for ir-
rigation should inhere in the land irriga-
ted, and beneficial use OF the basis OF
measure and the limit of the right.
"The work of building the reservoirs
necessary to store the floods should be
done directly by the government under
existing statutes relating to the employ
ment OF labor hours of work aud under
laws that viii give to all American citl-
zens free and equal opportunity to get
first employment, and then home on
the land.
"We commend the efficient work of
the various bureaus of the naGional gov
ern ment in the investigation OF the ply
steal nd legal problems and other con-
| ditions relating to irrigation and in pro-
noting the adoption of more effective
laws, customs and methods of irrigated
agriculture, and urge upon Congress the
necessity OF providing liberal appropria-
! tions TOR this important work.

A.Poker Decision.

New York, Nov. 30.--A new poker de-
cision was made in the supreme court
today by Justices Beekman, Giegerich
and O'Gorman, which lovers OF the ma
tional game will receive with satisfac-
tion.
The case was brought to court by
Joseph Jacoby, who sought to recover
s92 loaned to Charles Heldelburg dur
ing poker game, and which the latter
refused to pay. Jacoby was winner
when he loaned the money, and this was
fatal mistake, according to the learned
judges. Here is their decision:
"The principle is now well settled with
respect to gambling contracts that where
a loss is already incurred, any person,
other than the winner, who advances
money or other property to the loser to
enable him to pay the losses, may re-
cover such advance, but the plaintiff in
this case is in no position TO invoke the
benefit t this rule. He was tine person
directly connected with the transaction
He was the only winner in the game
and there is no authority going to the
extent of permitting winner to recover
from loser, no matter what form the
| loan takes"
