basis of S0,000 the percentage of deaths age of deat tns in an army. either In ac- tive service or in what Is called field duty is, we believe. about 5 percentum q year. Thus, if we take the highest percentage obtained from the Evening Posts figures, wa find that the death rate is not up to the average, although 1t is enough. In the matter of wounded We find that the percentage runs thus: For 5O.O00 men. 2.OS percentum; for 10000 men, 254 percentum; for 3O.O0O men, s.39 rercentum.
 Now turn to one branch of private employment. right here at home. It is found by the records at hand that du:- ing the year ending Jung 30, 1898, there were employed by thn railroads in thls country ITO, 70S men. including only en- gneers, flremen, conductors and "all other trainmen." During vhat year l.A percentum of these men werr killed while on duty; but when 1t came to accidents 1t Is found that 1851 per centpm of these men were injured in one way or another. and the probabil- ities are that some of them finally diei of then injuries. Thus it is shown that while the percentage of fatalities among the American soldiers in the Philippine islands has bern greater than the fatalities amcng trainmen in this country. the percentage of men wounded on the railroads Is far in ex- cess of the number of men wound,d In the Philippines. By striking an aver age the risk to life and limb is no greater in the Philippine islands thar 1t Is for those men who are employ l | on the railroads of the Unted States. Yet nobody shouts that the railroads should be suppressed, and the rolling stock storsd away, because there are many men killed or wounded in the railroad service every year.
 The Philippine record is not startling, and it is not unusual in any way. Be- sides. every man in the army Is there through his own volition. There has been no drafting of men-and therr will be none. The men who make mp the regular army, and the men who make up ttte volunteer army. were free agents. They were not forced to put on the uniform of blue. There is no sense at all in making great bother over "our losses in the Philippines" r. is not a pleasant record, to be sure, and there Is nothing cheering in the figures presented; but the United States was met by a proposition that had to be solved by force. TIhousands of young men were willing to serve Their country. and other thousands are ready to do the same thing if 1t should be necessary.

The New York Evening Post makes

The New York Evening Post makes a special feature of table giving 'our
 losses in the Philippines NOT A BAD from August 6. 1898. un- SHOWING. til the present time"
 The spirit revealed in printing this table day after day is that which was described by the Sage of Princeton. several years ago. as "gh5ulsh glee." The Posts figures and, by the way, we do not question their accuracy-are compiled from the record printed on January [. They set forth that the deaths among our sol- diers in the Philippines have been 3,25l, this list including those killed in action. those who have died from wounds or from tho result of accid nts, and those who have died from disease. To this number 1t adds the number of men wounded during the same time, making grand total" of 5.7ss.
 When these figures are considered in their proper light. however, and with fairness. 1t Is evident that the death rate in the Philippines has net been excessive, all conditions considered. If, for the sake of close calculation. We consider that the Posts figures include two and one-half years. 1t is found that the number of deaths annually has been 1900. Just exactly what per- centage of the men actually in the fiela these figures reprtsent 1t is difficult to determine. The force of soldiers in the Philippines has varied from time to time. and it Is now said that taere are about 60.000 men thrre. If the basis of calculation should be taken as 5O.- 900 1t will be found that the percentage of deaths has been only 260; on a basis of 10000 the percentage of deaths in one year has been 1925; and on a

Of course. every farmer reads his b.- ble ani knows 1t intimately. Now. let
 him reflect that unt.! PROGRESS his father was born, ON THE farming, it's methods FARM. and its principles, has
 remained unchangel since Ruth gltaned in the fields of Boaz. The mere surface of .cta earth was scratched as In ancient Egypt; the seed sown by hand as We still see the process pictured on the walls of the pyramids; the grain beater out with fails or under the feet of beasts, anl winnowed by tossing 1t In the wind. There was little improvement in farm CTS tools; the milling was practically the same. though crude machinery prophsslrd what was to come. and transportation facilities were so primi- tive that each country must grow it's own food supply or suffer with famine. These conditions existed until 1900 at least-practically until lS5O
 Now We can sec power replace the beast on thu farm as In the olty-the plowman rides at his work. and ts sui- ject to no fatigue harder than that of guiding a machine. But his head must be ft--It is not by muscle alone that the modern farmer can live. The grain is sowed by machinery, shipped by steam and convert d into flour at great milling centers.
 Because the west has adapted f,aelf to improved conditions, the world is now pouring riches into her treasury because the south has Jagged b,hin in ths race of thought it has remained poor. Within the past twenty years the south has used machinery for her crops, and her last harvest made her rich--not because it was so great as compared with those of other years. but because it was better handled.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, JANUARY l6, 1901.

Under the title of "No Pipe Dream.' the Los Angeles Times of Last Mor-
 dan printed the follow A SPREAD ing editorial: During ING SENTI- consideration of the MENT. river and harbor biN in . the house of represent atlves, on Wednesday, the question be. ing in regard to improvements for the Columbia river. Mir. Mondell of Wy oming produced figures to show that If the money expended upon the Mis- souri and Mississippi had been used to reclaim the arid lands of the west. it would have been sufficient to build comprehensive reservoirs at the head of those streams. which would have prevented floods and insured naviga- tion throughout the year. From this he argued that the government should immediately enter upon the reclama- ton of arid lands Tn the west. MT. Bell of Colorado argued along, the same lines, and gave notice of an ameni-
 
 ment he would offer to appropriate $30O,O0O for reservoirs at the headwatecs of the Platte and Arkansas rivers. Mir. Newlands of Nevada also spoke in favor of a provision in the bill for reservoirs at the headwaters of rivers from which arid lands could be irr!- gated. He insisted that 1t was the duty of the government to promote the use of water for irrigation. as much as for navigation.
 Such remarks are interesting and encouraging. as showing how the grCat Idea of national irrigation Is sprrading. On the other hand. it Is disappointing, and somewhat surprising. to see an intelligent and well-informed man like Mir. Grosvenor of Ohio state. as he dlI in the house on the following day, that he appreciated the glamor of tn , prospect of watering the arid regions of the west. but denied the power of congress to enter upon a vast scheme VI ltIIsu'iVht iuNstio"NA 'S f'' priety.'
 Surely, congress has as much power to undertake vast scheme of mak- ing valuable and habitable the millions of acres of now worthless land which it owns-not land owned by private in' dividuals or corporations-an so pro- viding homes for millions of citizens, as 1t has to carry out the vast scheme of building levees, deepening rivers and constructing harbors. more especially as in the first case 1t would be repaid directly. while h the other il Is not.
 "Mr Grosvenor should come out "a the Pacific coast in May with the Oh;1 delegation. and he may learn few things tha thc doesn't know at pres ent. This is big country, you know And national irrigation Is no pii's dream, either."

The world has for long time derived what comfort 1t could from the saying that "ft Is an III wind that blows no one good" but Kansas is realizing that even Q good wind may blow evil to some one. Freight cars are so busy hauling southern cotton that there Is represented to be difficult ty in getting western grain to market, and to this is attributed the fact, which would not have been anticipate d in this period of general prosperity. that the bank deposits of the Kansas farmers are less than they were year ago. Kansas has the greatest crop of wheat on it's hands but 1t will have d chance to sell it In good time.

 While this general conclusion is true, it d3es not alter the fact that congress is often guilty of inexcusable extrava- gances. Commissioner Wright's sta tistics will be wrongly interpreted fl they are taken to justify the presen, schemes of the surplus busters at Washington.

Carroll D. Wright, United Stat

Carroll D. Wright. United States commissioner of labor, presents some
 interesting statistics in WHAT THE the current number O. GOVERN the Century Magazine MENT to show that the federal COSTS. government Is not llv-
 ing beyond its means. He holds that while it's per capita ex- penditures are increasing from year to year the wealth of the nation is in creasing in a way to justify these larg- CT annual budgets.
 In 179l the pcr capita expenditure by the federal government was only 4s cents. It has gradually risen until, Ia 1900. 1t was $6.3s. In 1850 the per capita expenditure was $1,60. In that year the private wealth of the natf-n was $7.135. 7s0,22s and its products were worth $l. .029. .1O6.79S. In 1900 ths na,ron's wealth had increased to $94,000, ,000, 900 and It's products to $lS.222. .57O, ,939. From these figures 1t will be seen that. while the governm, nt now spends annually four times as much per capita as 1t did fry years ago. the nations wealth and annual income have meantime increas- ed to fifteen times the total amount of 1850. The pressnt national debt of $l4.52 per capita is not sufficient to all ter ehe situation materially. NJ. Wright is justified in his conclus.o., that the nation is rich enough to live
