Where the Glory Comes In

The old veteran, Ed. Howe, of the Atchison Globe, soliloquizes as follows on the glory of being a newspaper man:
 Every newspaper man makes enemies every issue; it is unavoidable. The mere narration of news will make enemies for a newspaper man every day.
 There never was a popular editor. There are plenty of worthy men who run newspapers, but lack of popularity I is part of the business. Editors very seldom run for office; when they do, they are defeated Horace Greeley was one of the greatest men this coun- try has produced, yet when he ran for the presidency he was so badly humil- lated that he died soon after An editor is not necessarily mean mau because he is unpopular; every man who runs newspaper must ex- pect to be unpopular, and to be dealt
 with unjustly by the people. A certain
 AtchisOn woman came to the editor of
 the Globe four times and requested
 that her husbands name be kept out

 Evidences of Ancient Irrigation.

 Evidences of Ancient Irrigation.
 One of the most marvellous engineer ing plishments of ancient or modern time is shown in discoveries which were made last year in the lava i beds of New Mexico. Thousands of years ago, the geologists tell us, sys- tenn of irrigation reservoirs and ditches was operated in the southwest which is not paralleled by anything of this nature in the United States to day. The builders of these works, people older than the pueblo race, cultivated thousands of acres of now arid terri tory. Reservoirs were constructed at he base of mountains to catch the flood waters before they were absorbed into the loose and bettomless sand i, and the ditches, where they ran through sand, were cemeuted to pre- vent the waters escape.
 Lava has flowed into some of these ditches, once filled by sparkling water in centuries gone by: What can have been the history of this prehistoric race or what can have caused their disappearance, can only be conjec- tured.
 Unlike the ancienis Of other lands these people have not left complete record of their glory and their down fall, and whether it was the result of climatic conditions or great upheavals or whether they were supplanted by more warlike and stronger races, is mystery. That they were highly de- veloped, however, in agriculture, which is the mother of civilization, is shown by the evidences which they have left. Their canals wind in and around for miles, showing superior engineering knowledge in securing an exact and uniform fall; remarkable viaducts were used in crossing can yons, while network of distributing ditches brought every available acre into use for tillage. Vast fields of way ing grain aud laden orchards must have stretched away, down the fertile valleys, under the magic touch of Wa ter-for arid America where it has been reclaimed through irrigation of to-day yields extravagantly-a with such development of a peaceful art must have been likewise an advanced state of civilization. Here was no irri- gation by individual owners or diver sions of water; but 8 great system covering large area, carefully thought out and operated by central head for the greatest good of the many and the utilization of the greatest pos sible acreage.
 And it seems strange in the present era of great progress and vast under takings that this section of country, once the most highly cultivated of the continent, should now be an arid and oh eerless waste with torrid sky and parchcd earth, even while the same rainfall of cges past still continues year by year, and the water supply is still there, only awaiting it's utiliza- tion by man.
