EFFECTs OF IRRIGATION.

A bulletin which has been issued by
the United States geological survey
adds another TO the many arguments
that have been advanced favoring irrl-
cation of arid regions of the west by
the national government.
Water used in irrigatng a district, II
has been found, is slowing absorbed by
the contiguous soil until. after the pro-
cess has been continued for years,
large area beyond the region of the irri-
eating bitches becomes moist and fer
tile. 1t is also found that the transit
ton from desert to fertile soil, brought
about by irrigation, becomes, after
many years, permanent, and instances
are already noted where land that has
been under irrigation for protracted
period no longer needs an artificial wa
ter supply
The situation in the San Joaquin val
ley is cited as a case in point. After
years of irrigation II is now found nee
essary to build canal to carry off the
water irrigation having become super
fious. Anoter instance of this sort Is
found in the city of Tulare. At one
time II was necessary to sink wells to
a dept of 100 feet or more to get water.
Today water Is found at a depth of
from ten to. fifteen feet below the sur
face. The land surrounding Fresno,
Cal, was formerly a desert. Irrigation
was resorted to. the land was made fer
tile and now irrigation has become

WHAT THE TEACHERS ARE GOING
TO.
"They are Going to a Great Deal of
f. w. Acknowledgment Made.

Much interest was manifested in Ho-
nolulu when the transport Thomas
passed through, in the several hundred
teachers aboard that vessel en- route to
the Philippines. Their earnestness and
zeal created sympathetic interest. the
following from the Manila Times sug-
gestlve of conditions which Will make
scnool teaching in the Philippines some
thing of martydom, will be of interest
in TINS connection. Hhe Mrs. Wheatley
spoken of spent several months IN
honolulu a year and half ago.
Among the eight hundred teachers
that are coming to the Philippines,
twenty-five per cent are women. DO
these women know what they are com
ing top mis- question was asked of
DIR. Atkinson only the other day. His
blue eyes had smile in them when he
sVaded the question at first with the
remark that he had had over ten
thousand applications which he could
not fill. These teachers are not for
ManiIa," DR.. Atkinson said: They are
mostly for the provinces. They VIII go
out into places where some other white
women are living. Where there are no
other white women / will send men
| teachers. L have found it possible, by
writing to the officers in command
| where schools are to be instituted, to
get all the particulars of the place"
Inen rather more serious look deep
ened in the Doctors face as he con-
tinued. NO these women do not know
what they are coming into, but we are
going to make our teachers just as
| comfortable as it is possible to make
them. While the teachers are in Manila
we will take good care of them. Yet,
know that they are coming to a great
deal of inconsistencies, but most of
them will pull through that and then
their interest in the work viii give them
| much pleasure and satisfaction" Ir
speaking of the help he had received
from the wives of officers who had
taught in the schools, Doctor Atkin-
son said: 1.-THE trouble was and always
VIII be that while these ladies are most
helpful, and have been, they would
scarcely get thoroughly acquainted
with the school work when their hus-
bands would be ordered away and they
would naturally have to 20 also, with
| the result that L would have no one t.
put in their places, thus losing all good
obtained by their hard work. Mrs
| Wheatly gave excellent service. With
out any experience whatever Mrs.
| Wheatly controlled her school with per-
| feet ease. L went into her room one
day and every pupil was in his proper
place; quiet reigned throughout my
stay and respectful attention was "iven
to the teacher in all things. This was
most remarkable. You no doubt have
been in the neighborhood of one of our
schools ad heard the shouting. These
people have never been taught order"

WIRE WAS ALL RIGHT.

II. l.. Hudson, Superintendent of the
Hawaiian Electric company went out
the Waikiki road the first thing this
morning to where it was reported that
live wire had charred the pole and
set fire to some stacks of rice straw
near by.
He says that the wire was intact and
the insulation unbroken. The pole was
not charred, and there was absolute
evidence that nothing had gone wrong
on account of the electric wire. The
stacks burned were some distance from
the line of wire and at a great distance
from any buildings. The owner of the
straw said he thought the fire had
started from some of his men smoking
near it,

THE utter deprayity Of national
ethics is very we'll illustrated In one
phase of the Chinese question which
IS now up for settlement. Almost
seventy years OgO the Chinese govern
ment discovered that the opium habit
was making such havoc among ita
people that II decided to make an at
tempt to exclude II from the country
Most of the opium was imported from
India by the English and the trade
was very profitable to the chosen clvi
lI2ers Of half devil and half child
peoples" whose example this admins
tration Of our Is striving to emulate.
But these good Chrlstlanlzers were not
to suffer any such infringement on
their rights of trade by any such an
outfit Of pagana. So acting upon the
principle recently declared by our i'm
maculate Kansas statesman, that "the
greatest profit is the most exact JUS
tIce,'' they proceeded TO 90 to war as
was then declared In trite phrase ITO
cram opium down the throats Of the
Chinese" Since then the English
opium trade has fourished like a green
bay tree on the very small tariff duty
of Ave per cent advalorem In silver
Imposed. So 1t lourishes now. Now
that the powers have had a round up
OF pretty much all the Chinese assets
and concluded to take for their own
several hundred millions they propose
that in order TO give them chance to
pay 1t and to put limit upon the
curse Of this trade as the Chinese gov.
ernment desires, the duty on Opium
should be substantially increased.
But mighty little of that talk Is sullic-
lent for Dear Old England, She stands
upon her rights, she does. She stands
on 'em hard. She was made to Christ
ianize the world and feed it opium.
These pagan Chinese were made to
be ChriStianlzed by Great Britain and
eat their opium. She stands upon her
divlue rights to govern and Christian
ize and sell opium and there she will
stand till some one big and strong
enough comes along and knocks her
down. And right behind her back we,
the great American Congress and Nc.
Kinley, stand with our divine right to
govern, clvilize and Christianize. The
reason we don't sell opium is that we
haven't got any. So we have to take
1t out In selling beer and whiskey to
the subjects of our civilizing efforts.

AN EXAMPLE Of the utterly rotten,
sinking system of governing our cit
les came to light in Philadelphia a few
days ago, There was a large batch Of
franchises for underground and ele-
waited railways to be disposed Of to
some one. Ordinances we're passed in
the council donating them without
compensation to the henchmen. heel
ers and favorites of the Quay machine,
But before the ordinances had received
the mayors signiture, John Wanna
maker sent letter to the mayor urg-
ing him to veto the ordinances and he
would pay the city the sum of $500,
900. for them. The letter was sent by
Wannamaker's secretary and as soon
as the mayor recognized the hand
writing on the address he contemp,
tuously tossed il to the crowd without
opening, evidently knowing what it
contained. Albert Johnson, brother
of Tom Johnson of Ohio, was also in
the field for the franchises with a prop
ositiion for furnishing three cent fares
to the people of the city. But he was
treated in like manner, If there can
be any worse government than this
1t would be interesting to have some
one tell where it is. Yet the govern
mentof the cities of this country are but
mipistures of those of the States and

TnE United States consul general
at Leipsic devoted recent report to q
description Of the organization and
working Of municipal pawnbroking
there, These establishments exist in
every large municipality in Germany;
they aseist poor people to obtain tenn
porary loans at low rates Of interest,
and they have proved so beneficial
that many German economists and
phllanthropists advocate the total sup
preston Of oil private pawnbrokers.
The Leipsic institution, which is also
a kind Of savings bank, which was es.
tabllshed in 1925, and its transactions
form q barometer, showing the con-
ditlon OF the trade In town or district.
When work Is plentiful the loans are
few, when 1t Ia scarce the loans rise
In number and In value. Since 1892
the number Of articles pawned at the
Lelpsic establishment has decreased
almost continuously, Germany having
been since that date in a state of un-
broken commercial and industrial
prosperity. OF the articles pawned
last year 1866, 500 or 9lh per cent, we're
redeemed, while the remainder were
sold in accordance with the rules. The
working capital is about 10000 orig
inal capital, and over G32 900 borrowed
from the savings bank side of the in
stitution. The earnings on the whole
OF this last year were slightly over !
per cent which gave a loss, inasmuch
as the capital from the savings bank
was borrowed at 81 per cent, and thus
the original capital was reduced--a
process which has been going on for
some years. Where the unredeemed
articles fetch more at auction than the
original loan the balance is returned
to the owner when the latter can be
found. On the savings bank side the
cash in hand at the beginning Of the
year was about G2,sOO,OOO, and the
amount deposited last year was about
e7OO,O 900 while a little over the latter
sum was Withdrawn. The depositors
numbered lSO, ,4S0 of which II 022 have
deposited less than G3, and more than
half are depositors Of less than e. los.
The net earnings last year were about
GlSOO0, but this was more than coun.
terbalanced by depreciation in the
price of securities. The reserved fund
at the end Of last year was about el25,
600 and the whole institution is guar
anteed by the municipality. Three
end three quarters per cent is the aver
age rate at which money is lent on
mortgages but lately this was raieed to
4 per cent to bring the rate more in &C.
cordance with the prevailing condition
OF the money market.-Ex.

THERE 10 nothing strange in the
fact that the newspapers and govern
menta Of Europe welcome our change
of creed with mingled contempt and
cynical satisfaction. They seem to
suspect that the great hullaballoo con-
cerning the rights Of man which we
kept up for hundred years was u
beautiful bluff. They can at least
claim that we have abandoned it un-
