cotton crop, and added to it a score of
new ones that a kindly soil and climate
permit, and have supplemented these
with mining and variety of manu-
facture which, all together, are piling
up wealth and increasing population
with a rapidity that was not even
dreamed of when the New South's pres
ent captains of industry were boys,
and that challenges admiration every
where. The south has done this too,
be it remembered, with meanwhile a
burden on her back such as no other
people in the world bears today-the
problem of carrying within her body
polite two distinct races nearly equal
in numbers.
History will not deal lightly with
this achievement. 1t must be a con-
slant inspiration to the thousand and
more industrial delegates now DELHI
Grating for the south's benefit in the
Crescent City.
The new south learned early that
no one crop can make a people pros
porous. Years ago Henry w. Grady
told the people of Texas that whenever
1.-The greed for a money crop unbalanc-
es the wisdom of husbandry, the money
crop is a curse" Wiser words were
never spoken.
And with perfect fairness to every
up-building of the industrial south, it
may truthfully be said that her press,
her editors. were the great pioneers in
her post-bellum development. We'd
nesday night the New Orleans conven-
ton was given over to a discussion Of
the newspapers of the south and their
relation to the south's industrial flu
ture. The subject must have been in
spring. Long before the south had
climbed out of the cotton furrow or the
corner stone of a factory had been laid,
her press was preaching diversity Of
crops, diversity of industries, and her
orator-editors were proclaiming it
from the house tops. The very seeds
of the new south's teeming industrial
life today were sown by the intelli-
gence, and far-sightedness and persis-
tence of her urban and country news
paiers. They were about the first
things following Appomattox to get
a move on them" and they have never
stopped since.

The lemon has now come within
the jurisdiction of science and the
stern law of the survival of the fit
test. The New York produce exchange
has been having a chemical analysis
of the lemons Of California and the
lemons of Sicily with a view of COM
pairing them and discovering which
is the more valuable fruit. The juice
of a certain number of lemons from
each land is analysed, weighed and
then the specific gravity and amount
of citric acid in each lot are compared.
In the first test the California lemons
came out ahead, but the Sicily fruit
growers claim that the mature fruit of
California was taken while early fruit
of Sicily was used. Other tests will be
made.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION policy

Never before have the prospects
been so bright for congressional aid on
a large scale in irrigating the arid
states. The work accomplished by the
National Irrigation congress in Chi
cago brought home to the people of
the east and to the legislators in con-
gress the great necessity for this work,
and if now the people of the west will
stand together ntheir demands, they
will be heard.
Concerted action is a vital necessity.
The states and territories must decide
On a course of action that will be at
once fair to other sections of the
country and just to the arid belt. Our
demands are right. The west demands
that it be given a share in the mon
eys expended annually for internal i'm
provement. We have no navigable
streams to dredge or levees to build,
but by the solution of our problems
room will be provided for forty or fifty
million people, and there will be add
ed to the aggregate wealth of the re-
public a sum impossible to estimate.
The question of irrigating the arid
west has already been put off too long.
1t is a matter that has assumed now
prominence that is not confined to
any one section. The manufacturers
OF the east see in the development of
the arid west a broadening of their
markets to an extent that could never
be accomplished outside of our own
borders. Transportation facilities are
already there. The land is there, and
it is ours. A third of the area of the
United States is totally undeveloped.
water that would be provided by a ma
tonal policy of reservoir construction.
The states of the arid west cannot
afford to be selfish in this matter. 1t
will be impossible for all the reser-
Volrs that are desired to be built at
once Some one must be selected as
the first When congress is in a mood
to do something in the way of build
ing single irrigation reservoir. no
matter where it is, in what state or ter
ritory, every other state and territory
and every interest therein, ought to
concentrate in aiding to accomplish
that end. 1t would mean the crea-
ton of precedent that could then
be used as a strong argument for con-
tinuing the beneficent policy.
Congress is ready to take action. on
a moderate scale at first, and there
are enough western representatives in
both houses of congress to carry the
scheme to success if they will stand
together. 1t would be a good plan for
every business man to write personal

In the dispatches today comes

the foreigners in January. Placards
have been circulated calling for an up
rising Whether the threats are in
tended to be carried out or not, it is
certain that the Chinese will bear
watching. The race is most inscrut-
able. The problems with which the
nations have to deal in the empire are
different from any they ever grappled
with before, and in some ways more
formidable The dispatches state that
even the keenest diplomats confess
their inability to comprehend the true
state of affairs, or to see way out OF
the difficulties that beset the powers.
One thing stands out clearly in all the
multiplicity of contradictions. That is
the fact that after all kinds of objec-
lions had been set forth. the powers
are all at last agreed on the policy that
the american government stated at the
very first-that the first step in the
rehabilitation of the empire and the
readjustment of foreign relations is
the return of the court to Pekin and
the resumption of diplomatic negotia-
ton. The question of reparation has
now become secondary to the establish
ment of stable government in China,
and important concessions have been
made to China already in the effort to
reach a settlement.
