HEhE mas heen a good deal
of uncalled for criticism of
Il. the recent action of Mayor
Morse of E,mporia, Kansas,
IN asking the editors of the three daily
papers published in that town to re-
frain from publishing details of sui
cides. He said that the publication of
such details had caused an epidemic of
suicides in that community within the
last two years.
In making that statement Mayor
Morse declared no new thing as to
the effect of such publica ton. Over
and over again philosophical observers
have expressed belief that the detailed
publication Of suicides, murders. ami
dissraceful divorce proceedings has
been the exciting cause of what En-
poria's mayor names an epidemic of
similar crimes. Their deduction is
neither far-fetched nor open to uues-
tion. 1t is in exact line with the evil
results upon many boys minds and
acts of their reading of fiction of the
Jesse James type. The ruin of many
young lives by that is admitted on all
sides.
Why Mayor Morse proposed to use
the agency Of the city board of health
In case the papers failed to comply
with his request, has been frequently
asked within the last few days. His
own answer is that the existent law
providing for the suppression of epi-
denies gave him the right SO to take
action.
"lf the paper" he said ION which
these local papers are printed had
been kept in n place infected with
smallpox ! could demand that these
papers quit using that paper or stop
publication, If they spread another
contasion, the contagious suggestion
OF suicide, ] believe the liberty of the
press is not to he considered before
the public welfare, and that the courts
would sustain me in using force to
prevent the publicatio of papers con-
tanning matter clearly deleterious to
the ptblic health"
He adds to his statement that the
editors Of the Emporia papers have
taken1the same view of the evil done
as himself, and will suppress the de-
tails OF suicides until the epidemic
subsidies
The entire experience of the human
race proves that "evil communications
corrupt good manners" as effectually
when made through the written word
as by the spoken one and often far
more insidlously. Evil books of many
kindsa apd the yellow" press are
responsible for terrible proportion OF
crimes. committed each year in "en-
lightened" communities.

upon which the "arid" and semi
arid" lands are marked will see for
himself how correct this estimate ac-
tually Is.
But it is not in that great western
and southwestern territory only that
this is so. Said Professor Meade the
time has come in which irrigation Is a
necessary adjunct to market garden
ing all along the Atlantic coast. That
is, all through the eastern districts Of
which but generation ago 1t could
be truthfully said. "Tickle the land
with a hoe, and it laughs back at you
with harvest" That was before the
forests that conserved the water
courses. and nursed the springs that
fed them. had been recklessly de-
stroyedtrees from the small saplng
to the giant of the forest indiscrim-
ately cut down, and those not wanted
left to decay or the whole space wan
tonly swept with fire.
Professor Meade said that within the
last few years irrigation redeemed an
area in Louisiana and Texas larger
tbuI Sollie A>eW EnSidIlu states. i ndl
is where there are great rivers, some
of the sources of which are still kept
full by SHOWS and springs from high
mountain regions where the spoiler
has not yet compassed forest ruin.
In many parts of the great Rocky
mountain and Sierra regions he has
wrought such ruin. Already the ques-
tion of water rights" of irrigation
bitches and canals has become burn
ing question in the far Western states
and territories. There is not rriga-
tion enough for all. Some are crowded
into hopeless poverty after bitter liti-
CATION or because they are unable to
begin it. Why? Because irriga ton cam
not he successfully kept up, cannot be
made adequate for all. unless there Is
an immense restoration and conserva-
ton of the forests. East and West this
must be done. 1t will take Federal and
State government and individual effort
to do all that is necessary. The greater
the population of the country grows, as
1t is constantly growing. the more i'm
perative will be that necessity. In our
own state there have been warnings
for years in midsummer droughts.
Farmers and railroad men know /,
we'll.
