For Water SURVEYS,


A Washington correspondent gives
the Omaha Commercial club credit for
securing an increased appropriation
looking toward the advancement of ir.
farmers of Nebraska, especially those in
the western part Of the state There is
no question but that irrigation would
be OF inestimable value to those farmers
and there is very little land in Nebraska
but that could be cultivated profitably
with sufficient moisture The interest
OF congress in futhering irrigation
should be most welcome to the farmers
concerned. The following is from the
Washington correspondent
"The Increased appropriation of $780,
600 secured for the United States geolog-
ical survey for irrigation surveys-an
advance OF 10000 over last years allow.
ance for this work-was largely due to
the efforts of the Omaha Commercial
club, its secretary Mr. UT, and the
merchants and business men Of Omaha.
"The Commercial club undertook in
the early spring, q vigorous campaign Of
education in the direction of showing the
Importance and necessity for liberal
appropriation for irrigation surveys,
looking ultimately to the building of
storage reservoirs by the national gov.
crnment. Letters were sent by its
secretary to every manufacturing and
business organization in the country urg
ing them to intiuene their congressman
and to every senator and representative
The result is now apparent. The state
OF Nebraska, and Omaha in particular
is deeply interested from several points
Of view, in the contamination of a
system Of national irrigation.
"ln the first place, unless great storage
reservoirs are built by the government
in the mountains of Colorado and
Wyoming and the waters equitably dis
tributed among the states, every foot of
Nebraska land now irrigated from the
waters of the Platte must eventually, as
Colorado appropriates more and more
water, be deprived of its supply of water
for irrigation. With the construction of
storage reservoirs, enough water could
be conserved for both states, but unless
this is done, Colorado will gradually alb
sorb it all.
Again, the development of the west
through the carrying out of the national
irrigation policy as advocated by the
National Irrigation association, would
open to Nebraska merchants, a vast
market, not only in Nebraska, but in
adjacent states which would become
thickly settled.
And lastly, the building of such {
system of storage reservoirs at the heat
of the Missouri, as Is recommended By
the government engineer corps would
insure Nebraska against damage from
floods Of this river which now annually
F., do immense injury to public and privat,
interests.
1t is thus seen that Nebraska is trebly
l interested in this proposition and th
: Commercial club is to be congratulated
upon its effective efforts in getting sucl
. a largely increased appropriation to carr.
= forward the preliminary work inciden
=. to a future system of national irrigation.

In 1896 President Mckinley said, II
believe it is better to throw open the
factories to American labor than to open
the mints to the silver of the world" ."
Events have since demonstrated that
Mckinley was right and that labor and
mankind in general have been benefited
by his policy. 1t is such records that
deserve and will receive the endorse.
ment of the people. Had the admins.
tration made record of broken prom
ises and blasted hopes, ignored the
wishes of the party and of the people
and brought want and distress rather
than prosperity and happiness, the
people would be justified in turning il
down. AS it is, many who opposed
Mckinley in 1896 will support him dur
ing this campaign.

The fusion press is to be commended
for its recent action in expunging from
its columns articles which appeared so
frequently in the campaign of 1896 and
until recently that had anarchistic or
traitorous leanings If the press of that
party will continue to ignore attacks on
the government and its institutions it
will stand much greater chance OF
carrying weight with sensible and patri.
otic people. Just criticism Of methods
and men aud party is at all times per.
missible but when it comes to indiscrim-
mate and unwarranted attacks upon the
government and its institutions patti
otic people OF all parties are perfectly
justified in calling n halt by administer
ing severe rebuke Mt the polls, or other
wise.

In Nebraska the value of sheep in
1895 was given at $339, 1888. In 1900
this value had increased to $l,09O,SO
In 1895 it did not pay to raise sheep and
the stock raisers allowed their herds to
decline, but under the prices now pre-.
vailing they are raised at profit and
the numbers are rapidly increasing
This is the difference between the free
wool policy endorsed by Bryan in 1892
and the protection now accorded.

how to get rid of one candidate and
