REPUBLICAN oUPLIcITY.
Leaders Of the House Of Representatives Re-.
fuse to Aid National Irrigation
in Any Way.

From private letter from Washing
ton, ID. C., we learn that the Senate is
all right regarding the national irriga-
ton policy, but that there is strong
opposition among the Republican lead
ers OF the House. They totally ignore
the plank in the platform pledging the
Republican party to support the nation-
al irrigation policy. Mr.. Grosvenor, of
Ohio, says:
Several times in the course of my
brief career on this floor | have had oc.
casion 10 say that some Of these orpa.
mental propositions in the national
platform have never been approved nv
me, because ! did not know that they
were there"
Mr.. Cannon, Chairman Of the House
Committee on Appropriations, In con-
versation with our Informant, said that
the plank in the Republican platform
didn't mean anything, that II was only
put IN to catch u few rotten borouphs
out West.
This Information ispositive and comes
from thoroughly reliable source.
Just why these leaders and Others
should take such stand against 10 i'm.
portant II policy is hard to understand
unless, ns Mr.. Cannon says, the plank
was simply put in TO catch few rotten
boroughs ont West.
But this seems to bc the policy Of tho
Republican pnrty In everything that il
Of benefit to the West and many Of
benefit to the Nation. Anything that
does not give some one an opportunity
Tor big steal, does not tend to deplcte
the treasury for some person or corpo.
ratlon's private gain, hns the opposition
OF the pnrty. The duplIclty, corruption
and rottenness Of such plan Of pro
cecdurc on the part Of the Republican
party leaders Is too appalling to need
discussion and II the people Of the Wes,
no not arise as ono man aud protest
against II they deserve no assistance N
any form from the government or ans
other source.

THE CHIEF QUESTION.

When sizing up a fellow man
Within these latter days,
We do not sean his moral plan,
Though worthy of all praise;
We don't inspect his intellect,
Or cen his gentle birth;
His heart and life may be correct;
But how much is he worth?
Chorus
oh, how much has the geezer got?
That is the test, you know.
'Tis not his conduct or his thought
We judge him by his dough.
His goodness and ability
Excite contempt and mirth,
II they be linked with penury-
Oh, how much is he worth?
When we to natrimony move,
In looking for bride,
1t is not love we're thinking Of
That is thing aside;
It's how much has her daddy got?
What is his wallets girth?
How he procured it matters not;
But how much is he worth?
-Cho.
1t runs through every avenue
From politics to law.
The preacher even holds in view
The stipend he may draw.
The man in moral bankruptcy
Who has Of brains "A dearth,
With cash commands society
oh, how much is he worth?
-Cho.
II is upon the outward dole,
Not inward wealth, we look;
Not what we hold within the soul,
But in the pocketbook;
And thus it is we lose from sight
The sweetest things of Garth
The true, the right, the Infinite
Oh, how much is he worth?
Chorus
Oh, how much has the geezcr got?
That is the test, you know.

Oh, how much Is he worth?
