they know the claim to be utterly false.
In the first place they possessed them
selves of the coal lands ainst the pro-
tests OF the rishtful owners, and in do
ing so violated not only the law of the
land, but the law of God, "Thou shalt
not steal" Now so bold have they be-
come, so confident that they have hood
winked the intelligence, that they sum-
mon to shield their own iniquity, the
very statutes upon which they have
trampled and upon which they still
have their heels planted.
There is not daily journal in the
United States that would advocate vio-
lence as an instrument in the adjusting
of conditions. There is hardly one that
sanctions the presence of troops in the
region where disturbance prevails. The
fact is generally conceded that union
is as apt to make a mistake as Is any
other organization. Nevertheless, there
can be no denying that were the miners
to permit their union to be crushed they
would sink at once to the level of the
meanest serf. The operators have not
shown at any time the slightest wish to
be reasonable, to be conciliatory, to pay
heed to the demands of the toilers or the
requirements of the public. They are
willing to cause suffering to the too Gle
ment government, and the careless pop
ulace by whom their course of outrage
has been tolerated.
For the first time since the strike be-
gan there seems some prospect of ending
it. The embarrassment of divided
sympathy has been swept away by the
operators. They have shown that they
are worthy of no consideration. Any
settlement that brings peace will be sat-
isfactory if it involves the discontinue

MUCH WATER WASTED
BY IRRIGATION
Enough Water Turned into bitches
to Cover Land to Depth OF
Over Four Feet.

The third annual report of the irriga-
ton investigation of the department Of
agriculture made under the direction of
Elwood Meade, says that averages OF
measurements embracing nearly all OF
the arid states, showing that during the
past three years enough water was
turned into the heads of bitches during
the irrigation season to cover the land
irrigated to depth Of 45-l00 feet; or,
stated in another way, 45-1OO acre feet
Of water were taken from streams for
every acre of land irrigated.
A large part Of this water supply was
lost in transit through seepage, the leak
age being especially great where canals
run through sandy or gravelly soil.
Measurements at the heads of laterals
showed an average loss in the main
canals of IL per cent. Measurements
made at the margins of fields on six
large canal systems showed that only AZ
per cent of the water turned in at the
headgates was delivered to farmers.
This large loss through seepage is one
of the significant features of those meas
urements, and shows that better con-
struction of works is one of the direc-
tions in which great improvement is
possible. Another interesting table in
the report shows the value of crops
grown for each acre foot of water used.
They vary from $l.32 an acre foot to
el.22 an acre foot, water bringing the
least return when used on alfalfa and
the largest return when used in irrigat.
ing nursery stock.
1t is also shown that crops which re-
quire irrigation in the last half of the
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1902-10-14

irrigation season have far greater value
than those which require irrigation
during the first half, the average value
per acre of crops which have to be irri-
gated in the last half of the season being
5000 an acre, while crops which require
irrigation only in the first half of the
season have an average value of only
$17.S3 an acre, difference of $31.56 an
acre in favor of late crops. These, how
ever, have to be watered when streams
are low and water scarce. AS a rule
this water supply can be had only
through storage.

UnexampIed Nerve.

For moment the public is forced to
pause in its consideration of the merits
of the strike to marvel at the unblush-
ing arrogance of the coal presidents.
They have demanded that the federal
authority be invoked to the end that
they may do as they please; and they
cite to sustain their position the very
laws that had been framed to protect
the public against the coal presidents !!
Such impudence, such brazen effrontery
must be without parallel. And the ex-
istence of these laws the coal presidents
have ingnored. and would continue to
ignore did they not think the opportun-
ity had arrived to employ them as weap-
ons. The message of David Wilcox, of
the Delaware & Hudson, to President
Roosevelt was an Insult, but fully in
keeping with the mien of all the opera
tors who attended the conference called
at request of Mr.. Roosevelt, for their
conduct on that occasion was that of
studied and deliberate impertinence.
They did not condescend to discussion of
any point involved beyond the determin-
alton to have their own way, nor did the
as being the concern of the president, of
the miners or of the public. In each of
these conclusions they were guilty of
stupid error. By the exposition of the
shameless truth they have driven from
themselves all the sympathy that for
time they had commanded, and they
have created in the mind of every man
who loves decency and fair play the hope
that they will be crushingiy defeated.
Now they will see if they are greater
than all the concentrated force of public
opinion.
The coal combination exists in def
ance of the laws of Pennsylvania and of
the United States. Enforcement of the
statutes as they stand would deprive the
trust OF the power to transact business,
and would send each one of the execu-
tive heads OF its various branches to
prison as felon. The coal roads have
no legal standing as operators of mines.
They cannot defend their importation of
contract labor. They can put forth no
valid excuse for the employment of
child labor at the breakers. These
offenses are forbidden by specific act of
legislation. There are other offenses
The miners are ground down to wages
that do not support them. They are
taxed high for rent, for powder and for
oil. They are cheated on the coal they
mine, and the coal they have to send to
the surface runs hundreds of pounds
more to the ton than the same coal does
when it reaches the consumer. The
operators claim they are running the
mines at loss, and, though they can
sustain this allegation by technicality,

AN ACKNOWLEDGED ACCESSAR)

The Statesman of the 21st gives
editorial publicity of condition of
state affairs that must be deplorable,
and suggests possibly criminaity,
and charterizes the administration of
Governor Hunt as inefficient and
reckless, together with other name
less charges and damaging general
ities-nothing specific however. The
suppression of these facts by the
Statesman until 80 late day is to be
regretted, as some people might be
stupid enough to imagine, they were
promulgated now for political effect,
and not strictly in public interest.
The charges of the Statesman will
be received with astonishment and
regret by the people of the state, who
have been under the impression that
the state government was being ad-
ministered in an economical and con-
servative manner, taxes reduced,
existing laws properly enforced, and
the financial standing of the state
greatly advanced in the estimation
of the outside world. Not a muir.
muir to the contrary has been heard
until this agonized wall comes from
the Statesman. These charges must
have been long familiar to that jour-
nal, and persistent silence for all this
time places it in the position of q
partner in these crimes. or course
specifications will speedily follow,
and will be waited for with breathless
interest and some explanation made
for this prolonged suppression OF
facts. Simple protests are out of
order;n NOW it is facts-damning, spe-
cific and irrefutable-give us the
facts, even if you have to lie to do it.

clearly that free trade is what the coun-
try is yearning for. Their logic is unique
and irresistible, and altogether consistent
with their former position. Summed up,
it is about like this "When the demo.
cratic theory was all wrong, the republi-
cans used their stuffed clubs on it, and
belabored it with righteous indignation.
When. by reason of changed conditions,
for which the democrats were in no way
responsible, free trade is all right and
proper, the republican party mbrace it :"
They give out the gratifying information
that they will continue TO combat every
thing that is wrong, and embrace every
thing that is right, even though right
things may have once been the sole prop
erty of democrats when they were wrong
things The goodness of republicans pas

rather be on the right side. than on The
wrong side, even though they have to go
over 10 the democrats to get on the right
side. The republicans are really too all
fired good, holy, and wholly righteous TO
live long. Good things die young"
and republicans could never die younger
than TO die right now. Since they have
been converted to the true faith, life of
never-ending bliss would be theirs. If
they persist in continuing to live. they
might at any time backslde, and then
their eternal future on the other shore
would not be that everlasting life of
bliss it would be If they should sail for
that happy land right now. So, with
kindest feelings and deepest concern for
