substantial difference OF opinion exists
among the people The nation must have
enough soldiers TO man'i,s forts. to guard
its outposts and to maintain its authority
wherever the flag floats With the per-
manent settlement of the political Issue
concerning the Philippines. we look to
see reason dominate in this matter. just
as the acceptance Of the situation in the
islands themselves VIII presently permit
the contemplated reduction in the num-
Der of our troops stationed there. The
subject is one that should never have
been made a bone OF political contention.
Scattered throughout the message are
numerous suggestions and recommended
tons whose Importance IS perceived only
when they are set out upon their merits.
The president urges legislation for the en-
courasement Of American shipping, re-
peats the request Of his last message for
investigation and legislation against mo-
nopolistic trusts. approves the construc-
tlDU OF fdfinc cautes tuNlstH tne esNdu-
lishment Of the nucleus Of permanent
census bureau. dweils strenuously upon
the Importance Of the civil service com
missions work and the need OF larger
appropriations for IT. and favors the
erection OF a hall Of records at Washing
ton In which the priceless papers Of the
nation may be stored.
II legislation should be had in these par.
tIculars alone II would make this session
OF congress notable. But perhaps the
wisest and most necessary advice OF all
is that with which the message closes
The president cautions against extrava-
gance; and presents the claims of eeono-
my as an aid to confidence and CONNER
cial expansion. From beginning to end
the message is strong closely reasoned
temperate, wise, and penetrated with that
sense of responsibility and that consider
tious devotion 10 the right discharge Of
his great duty which have ever charac-
terzed President Mckinley and are the
root of the peoples confidence in and
affection for him. 1t is comprehensive
and informing public document

Peculiar Mental perversity.

The Yakima News, a newspaper some
mental perversity. 1t resents as an at
tack upon Yakima county the Post-In-
teligencer's statement that the state
of Washington has no considerable area
of arid lands, and proudly points to Yak
ina county as an illustration to the con-
trary. insisting that that county would
be an absolute desert waste were IT not
for irrigation. 1t says: why. but for
irrigation there would not be a stick or
a brick or a soul excepting a cowboy or
two where the thriving city OF North
Yakima now stands"
Nevertheless there was a thriving and
prosperous little town in North Yakima
a considerable time before irrigation was
ever practiced on any scale in Yakima
county. and there was a fairly prosper
Gus farming community in the Yakima
valley before the town of North Yakima
was established, and many and many
years before the News entered upon its
mission of enlightening the world as to
the drawbacks OF the Yakima valley If
anyone had suggested to the people of the
Yakima valley some years ago. that thea.
country was mere desert. useless for
any farming purpose without irrigation.
his stay in that valley would have been
remarkably short one.
Irrigation has made out of the Yakima
valley perfect garden II will wonder
fully increase the fertility of other sec
tons OF Eastern Washington. in course
of time. Nevertheless, the statement is
literally correct that the state of Wash
ington has no true arid region. There
are of.course. considerable areas of land
where the soil IL too light too sandy, too
alkaline, or too much lacking in the ele-
ments of fertility to produce crops. but
that is entirely different proposition.

The Snub TO Kruger.

In It's resulting effects, the action OF
former President Kruger or to extend
the remotest encouragement to the Beers,
IS really more friendly act than that
OF the French In giving him an enthusiasts
tic and misleading welcome. The action
OF the French people was prompted not
so much by any particular friendship for
the Beers. as by desire to show their
bitter hostility to Great Britain. There
is not the remotest probability that
France ever contemplated any interfer-
ence in South Africa, yet the enthusiastic
welcome accorded Kruger had tendency
to encourage the Beers In the belief that
such Interference was forthcoming. and
thus incite them to continue. their hope.
