How irrigated Farming Pays.
[Gottenberg independently


That farming by irrigation pays in
western Nebraska has been demon
strated time and again. The results
attained by irrigation in Dawson
county are no greater than in Lincoln
county. the requisites for success be-
ing thoroughness Of cultivation and the
application OF average Intelligence In
the conduct of the farming business.
The farmer referred to by the Licking
ton Pioneer is A. r. Merritt. who owns
a section OF land under ditch six
miles north of Lexington, and the
Pioneer thus describes his success:
He raised the present year 100 acres
of winter wheat that yielded about
1900 bushels. He has 100 acres in po-
tatoes that give promise of yielding
considerably more than 100 bushels per
acre-and potatoes are worth some
thing over 81 per bushel. He has
already sold part Of his alfalfa hay.
receiving therefrom $4,000 in cash; he
has several acres in onions, which
promise good returns, and, taken alto
gether, the revenues he will derive from
this years crop will foot up to be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.

cleyrLANp ON PRESIDENTS SAFETY.

Ex-Presldent Grover Cleveland has
contributed to the Saturday Evening
Post an article on THE Safety of the
President" AS Mr.. Cleveland has the
unique distinction of being the only
living ex-president, and as he is es-
teemed as a man of high personal char
acter, his views have been sought as
from one who has given the subject
more or less attention from personal
motives. The eubject has been SO fully
and ably discussed by public men and
the press that very little that is dis
tinctly new or helpful can be expected
from any source. Mr.. Cleveland dis
cusses the question OF safety with the
conservatism for which he is noted. In
considering preventative measures to
guard against assassination, he thinks
ut is hardly conceivable that our
countrymen will long condone fall
ure on the part of those intrusted with
national interests to take such steps in
this direction as will indicate the solicit
Gus care of our people for their consti-
tuted government, and express their
determination that the faithful dis
charge of the highest public duty shall
not provoke the peril of violent death, y
yet he does not see how a president
can be isolated from the public and peo-
pie who esteem him. When the presi-
dent makes public appearance it is
distinctly helpful and encouraging to
him and to the people to meet as friends
meet, and exchange greetings. He no
tees, too, that only one of the, three ex-
ecutives who have been assassinated
met death as a result of greeting the
people in a personal way. He says All
things considered it is serious ques-
ton, even at time when all are
aroused to the need OF better protec-
ton Of the president, whether a serious
Limitation of the peoples public access
to him is justified as either necessary
or effective, He adds further, that
ut is by no means intended to sug-
jgest that this access should be unreg-
sulated and entirely free from all pre-
caution. Those charged with care for
the president on such occasions should

President RooseveIt's Good Sense.
Iwashington cqrrespondence.l

lWaSn1ngton CQrreSpOndence.l
Washington people have found plenty
to talk about in that dinner episode at
Canton in which President Roosevelt
figured. The affair was only limited at
in the press dispatches. and 1t remained
for the gosips to tell the whole story.
at the beginning it may be said that
the presidents conduct is commended in
strongest terms as an example of great
moral courage. 1t seems that when the
funeral party arrived at Canton the
president not caring to go to the local
hotel, accepted the hospitality of a
wealthy manufacturer OF that town. Mr..
Manufacturer meant well enough. but
he happened to have a wife who was
not thoroughly accustomed to large
bank account.
The lady has, or had, social aspira-
tons. and the presence Of a real live
president OF the United states in her
house was too much for her. With I'M
thinkably bad taste she permitted her
self to forget the sad errand which had
brought the visitor to her house, and
planned dinner of some sixty plates.
1t is related that she sent to Cincinnati
for caterers and even built q temporary
extension on her house. 1t was the elev-
enth hour when Roosevelt learned what
had occurred. 1t was an extremely try
ing predicament; he was a guest as well
as president. Then he acted with yigor
and promptness. He sent down word
that he would have his dinner served in
his room. The large company dined
shamefacedly and left without unneces-
sary delay, saying things on the way
home about their hostess.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1901-10-09

never in the least degree tolerate the
idea that there can be a harmless per-
son of unsound mind; nor should they
relax their watch for such persons and
for all others that may properly be sus-
pected of liability to do harm. Every
doubtful case should be determined on
the side of safety and all suspicious
movements or conduct should challenge
prompt and effective caution" He also
notices what has been so freely mani
tested in the case of President Roose-
Welt, that it may be safely said. that
among the millions interested in hav-
ing such precautions for presidential
safety adopted. the president himself
will be the least anxious concerning
them. This will always be So
Mr. Cleveland believes a serious and
thorough consideration of the peril
which has SO shockingly broken in upon
the peace of our national life would be
incomplete in its lesson and warning If
1t failed to lead to an honest self-ex-
animation and frank inquiry whether
there are not causes other than an
archist teachings, and perhaps near
our own doors. whose tendency, to say
the least, is in the wrong direction.
Have not some of our public journals,
under the guise of wholesome criticism
of official conduct, descended to such
mendacious and scandu.ous personal
abuse as might well suggest hatred of
those holding public place? Has not the
ridicule of the coarse and indecent car
toon Indicated to those of low instincts
that no respect is due to official sta
ton? Have not lying accusations on the
stump and even in the halls of congress,
charging executive dishonesty. given
hint to those of warped judgment and
weak intellect that the president is an
enemy to the well-being of the people?"
He closes with this admonition: Not
the least among the safeguards against
presidential peril is that which would
follow revival of genuine American
love for fairness, decency and unsensa-
tional TRUTH

tempting to discover whether a need
for night schools exist in Burlington or
not. Or, rather, whether sufficient at
tendance could be secured to make 1t
worth the outlay. 1t says: There can
be no argument as to the fact that the
need exists. There are hundreds of
boys and girls, young men and young
women in this city who could not de-
vote the winter evenings to Il better
purpose than that of adding to their
