The editor Of country newspaper
has no business to make mistakes. He
hasn't any business to ever get any
thing into his paper that the people
do not like. He ought to know Just
what will suit each Individual. or he
ought to take each item before It Ia
published and let the person whom II
concerns censor 1t. An editor has
plenty OF time tO do this. as all he has
to do is to hunt news. and clean roll
ers, set type, clean the floor. pen short
items. hustle for advertising, fold pa
pers and write wrappers, make paste
and mail the papers, and talk to yisi :
ors and distribute type, carry water
snd read proofs and correct mistakes,
hunt the sheers to clip articles with,
dodge the bills and dun delinquents,
and take cussings and tell subscribers
that he needs money.

Federa, irrigation co.iss !.

Looking over the field ut the close
OF the century II is seen that the
United States stands practically alone
amonR irrigation countries in having
left all the work Of reclamation to
the unaided efforts Of private capital.
and in the prodigallty Of the surren-
der Of public control Of streams. In
one respect the policy pursued has
been successful. 1t has resulted In
an enormous investment mot less than
slO0. 200, 900. and some estimates make
it twice that sum-, and the creation
Of taxable and productive wealth Of
many times the amount invested.
We have now about reached the limit
OF this sort Of growth. There will be
few large private investments In ca
mails hereafter until we have better
and more liberal irrigation laws. En-
trance ON the coming century is con-
frunted by larger problems: the st0r-
age OF flood waters, the Interstate d.
vision Of streams, and the inaugura-
tion Of an ADEQUATE system Of public
control which Will insure to the hum
blest handler of the shovel his share
of the SHOWS falling on mountains
above his farm, no matter how far re-
moved he may be.

The allied troops attacked tho
Chinese walled city Of TieR Tsin on
the morning Of July II, and after a
hard fight in which the loss to the
allies was very heavy, succeeded In
breechi1g the walls and capturing all
the forts. The Chinese were CON-
pletelv routed. This Is the hrst yicto-
ry recorded for the foreign forces in
China. and the difficulty with which
1t was achieved indicates that the
