An ENDOWED N.w.pnp.r.

Rev. DR.. G. II. Parkhurst, who came
into the public eye as leader in the re-
form movement in New York few years
ago, says a syndicate of wealthy men pro-
poses to start an ideal newspaper In New
York. There is also plan on foot to es-
tablish an ideal theatre, devoted exclusive
ly to the legitimate drama. Both institu-
tions are to be endowed.
DR.. Parkhurst says the newspaper will
have as much enterprise as the most en-
terprising papers of the present day, but
that truthfulness will be observed in every
thing. DR.. Parkhurst believes papers now do
not have sufficient influence with the peo-
pie because they are willing to shift their
sails according to the wind that is blowing,
and indicates that they are not animated
by truthfulness and an irreversible moral
impulse. "What we want" DIR. Park
hurst says, sis a newspaper with high
moral purpose, which Is unshakable and
unpurchasable, and then it will be a pow
er. What we want is a newspaper with
INSTRUMENTATION that are deep
enough to run down underneath, below
the stratum Of present circumstances, q
paper whose tone will not be affected either
by small or great patronage"
There are newspapers which are as near
ideal today, as any that can be made by
ideallsts who are not hampered by flnan-
cial contingencies. Perhaps the highest
type of journalism to be found in America
is the Boston Transcript. Here is paper
which is animated by truthfulness and
moral impulse, and which is edited by
brains and culture, and which shows
rare discrimination in its judgment of the
value and proportion OF news. We COM
mend the Transcript TO the idealists who
believe in an endowed newspaper.

Many important questions will come be-
fore the next session OF Congress for con-
sideratioD, including army reorganization,
shipping subsidy bill, Pacific cable, isthmlan
canal. Oklahoma will apply for state
hood, and there are affairs in Alaska,
Cuba and the Philippines to be regulated.
The appropriation bill will be bone of
contention as usual, and an attempt will be
made TO reduce the immense revenue which
is being received from the present customs
and internal revenue duties.

In an outburst of fatherly admiration we
have to confess that we esteem Col Frank
l.. Greene of the St. Albans Messenger as
on the whole the likeliest and most prom
ising lad now in the newspaper profession
in Vermont. He is bright and kinky; he
THINKS independently; he never sulks, and
he is refreshingly breezy and outspoken in
discussion OF men and events. But If the
boy lives to be 25 years older he wont be
half SO cock sure that he knows it all
about several things-high license, local
option, prohibition land the election of
United States senators) among them-As
he is now. May he live long and prosper,
and may the effervesceD,e of his native
sasslness be never less refreshing than it is
today. Bouquets-curtain)

A system of fraudulent divorce machln-
cry, operated by gang Of swindlers, is the
latest New York city scandal to come under
the light of publicity. The same people
came into the courts with case after case,
not dozens, but hundreds, testlfying to al
legged facts which the slightest scrutiny
would have detected to be false. Detec.
tion came finally by the accidental presence
on two occasions of stenographer who
happened TO take enough interest in the
proceedings TO notice that the witnesses on
both occasions were the same. The courts
appear to have granted every application
on the bare statement Of the applicant,
without taking the slightest trouble to in
qulre into the truth or falsity of his story.

The nomination Of Adlai Stevenson
for vice president is a black eye for the
silver republican contingent and for
the populists. The silver republicans,
with hypocrttcal pretense, assembled in
Kansas City at the bidding OF Patter-
son. and peacefully waited for the dem
ocrats to ignore their choice, Charlie
Towne. But they have swallowed their
medicine and will now endeavor to per-
suade some Of their deludeI followers
into the belief that they were treated
with honesty. All that is left of the
silver republican party are a few worn
out political hacks Of the Henry NJ. Tel
Ter ilk; men who have done nothing
but hold ONCE or try to get one for a
half century. Those Of them who will
this year vote for Bryan belong to that
class Of republicans who never vote
anything but the democratic ticket, un-
less perchance they may be given the
best place ON the republican ticket, and
then they use all the ticket but them
selves for trading purposes. Politics
with such politicians are a purely per-
sonal matter and they work the people
and tho parties to the last degree.

PROFESSIONS ARE CHEAP.

1t is not wise to hold the Kansas City
combination too strictly to account for
its declarations. 1t was in a position
where it was necessary to take a stand
upon important public questions, and
this position must be one of antagon-
ism to the republican party. 1t is
simply the misfortune of the democratic
party to be in such a r~Iedicament.
This explains the unfortunate char
acter of the platform that was adopted
at Kansas City.
Naturally enough many of the dem
ocrats throughout the country are dis
pleased with very much that appears
In the platform. 1t vas a bitter pill to
that portion of the convention who be-
lieve in sound currency, and also to
those who are proud of the recent
achievements of the nation. And yet
these two features of the platform, sill
yer and Imperialism" together with the
tariff question, embrace about all that
there is at issue. For the republicans
have declared against trusts and favor
giving to Cuba her independence.
We will not discuss the bugaboo i'm
perialism' at this time. 1t is simply a
myth; a word which the democrats
hope to c~onjure with and mislead The
people. The same use is to be made of
"militarism," for which there is not
the least justification when applied to
this country, as will be easily shown
when the facts are submitted.
The people of Wyoming are too in
t%elligent to be fooled with such catch
words. Besides they see behind them
a declaration against the present tar
if laws which means a return to the
unfortunate condition of affairs that
prevailed during the existence of The
free trade Wilson law. Free silver and
free trade is about all that the demo-
cratic platform can be said to promise
the country, and while the other fea-
lures Of it may furnish a chance for
spread eagle orations, the real issues
of the campaign are involved in those
two planks. AS the campaign advances
this will appear more plainly, for it
will be an easy matter to cast aside the
fictitious issues and exhibit their hollow
observation-disclosures.

STATE PRESS COMMENT.
Knew Something of Steers

Knew Something of Steers
Henry Ritterling. one of the pioneer
ranchmen Of Laramie county, was in
town this week. Some of his old demo.
cratic friends who happened to NEE,
him in Idlemar's store opened up 4 lit
tie political talk. Henry said that he
would vote for Mckinley at the next
election. 1t took their breath away, be,
cause Mr.. Ritterling had always been 9
.rock-ribbed democrat who could be
counted on to vote the straight ticket
They tried to convince him Bryan was
the proper man and that the republican
party was dead wrong on every propo-
~sition. Ritterling listened with some
patience and then said: We'll, | DOM
know much about politics, but l know
the difference between a thirty dollar
and a sixty dollar steer!" Here the dis.
cussion ended.-Lcader.

THE entire question of western irri-
CATION leads up to one inevitable con-
clusion. This is that irrigation, ever
and above all other Industries, is a
matter demanding public supervision
and control. Every drop Of water en-
tering the head gate, and every drop
escaping at the end of the canal, is a
matter Of public concern. The pub
lie must determine, through constitu-
lions and statutes, the nature of water
ownership. The public must establish
means for the measurement of streams
and for ascertaining how much water
may be taken for each acre Of land I'M
der the principle of beneficial use. The
public must see that justice is done in
the distribution of water among those
who have properly established their
rightful claim to it. We have thor
oughly tried the method of leaving all
this to private initiative and manage
ment, and along with magnificent ma
terial progress, we have reaped a large
crop of d%eplorable financial results.
While much must be left to the action
of states and communities, there is still
a wide field for national effort.
THE national government alone can
make the best and broadcast study Of
the various economic questions relat-
ed to the development Of agriculture on
arid lands. This includes not only
the measurement of streams and sur
vey Of reservoir sites, but also a con
sideration of practical methods of ap-
plying water to the soil and of social
and industrial institutions adapted to
the environment of the afid region.
The nation alone can deal with the
conflicting rights in interstate and in
ternational streams and with the con-
struction of great reservoirs at their
h~eadwaters, with a view to benefiting
the states lying along their course.
The national government is already ac-
tive along all these lines and the field
for the expansion of its efforts is wide
and inviting"

AID.

Wyoming stands at the head of all
islation, and the one man above all 9TH
ers who ID responsible for this is Ell
wood Mead, now at the head of the bu-
reau Of irrigation in the department
Of agriculture. In discussing Wyo-
nin4's position, Editor Smythe, author
of Conquest Of Arid America" gives
US credit for being the father of irrl-
CATION legislation in America, and Prof.
Mead Il placed at the head of the great
minds of this state who have mastered
the problems and who have caused
Wyoming to brush away the cobwebs
Of the common law and step forth upon
the broad ground of state ownership
of water and priority Of appropriation.
The Book, Just is
sued contains an able article from the
pen of MI. Mead. The following inter-
esdng extracts are given:
Looking over the field at the close
Of the century it is seen that the Uni
ted States stands practically alone
among irrigation countries in having
left all the work Of reclamation to the
unaided efforts of private capital, and
in the prodigality Of the surrender of
pubic control of streams. In n re-
spect the policy pursued has been sue
cessfull. It has resulted in an enor-
mous Investment mot less than $780,
100000, and some estimates make it
twice the sum- and the creation of tax
able and productive wealth Of many
tfmss the amount invested. We have
now about reached the limit Of this
sort Of growth. There will be few
large private investments in canals
hereafter until We have better and
more liberal federal irrigation laws.
Entrance on the coming century is CON
fr0nted by larger problems; the stor-
& Of flood waters, the interstate d.
vision of streams, and the Inaugural
ton Of an adequate system Of public
control, which will insure to the humb-
lsst handler Of a shovel his share OF
. The snows falling above his farm, no
matter how far removed he may bs.

Ought to Have a Funeral
That 16 to l plank, which didn't find
its way into the democratic platform at
Laramie, makes so Internal much noise
that ole can't hear the other parts of

concerning free silver only a few short
months ago no one would have dreamed
of their giving it the cold shoulder at

The Denis and Teddy
Our demo-pop friends are not salts
fled with the nomination of Teddy
Roosevelt. In every other state save
New York, Roosevelt the rough rider
has been a hero since that memorable
charge up San Juan hill. In New York,
of course. he was denounced as every
thing republican is always denounced;
but elsewhere the courage and ability
of the gallant Teddy has been admit
ted and proclaimed, regardless Of poll
teal bias. Now, however, he is a ma
tional candidate, and the Billium Bry-
an boys everywhere have yanked him
from the pedestal Of fame and pro-
nounced him a fraud and a fake. He
will have to wait, I presume, until after
he's dead. Lincoln, Grant, Garfield
Blaine and a score of republican states
men were denounced by our democratic
friends as robbers and thieves and
worse during their lifetime-as they
have said Of Mckinley, and will say OF
Roosevelt, before the campaign closes.
Today these illustrious patriots are del.
fed by the demo-pops, and those acts
which were so bitterly condemned then
are pointed to now as worthy of all
praise. Mckinley and Roosevelt-pos-
sibly even Mark Hanna and Twill
figure in democratic campaign speeches
some day as great statesmen and true
Americans, but not just now, dear. A
good republican is-like a good Indian
