IRRIGATION OF THE NILE VALLEY

The Nile reservoir at Assouan has a
total capacity of over !, 900 ,0e0, O00 tons
of water. It Is scarcely possible to
realize what this huge storage Of water
for irrigation purposes signifies to
Egypt. Two years ago, when the Nile

where shadoofs are concerned, raising
by manual power about 400 tons Of water
TO varying heights up TO twenty-five
feet, and that four or five waterings are
required TO raise a summer crop, it will
be seen what a vast amount OF human
labor IS saved throughout the world
by the providentiaI circumstance that
in ordinary cases water falls from the
clouds. and has not. as in Egypt to be
dragged Up from channels and wells.
Shadoof work. under average conditions,
involves one mans labor for at least

IheTe are number Of public speakers
who are known by their skill alone in
that direction all over the country who
succeed in what the late Mr. Bromley
used to call ''the turning up Of sen
fences with ampler oratoricaI powers.
but nc one would think OF calling them
preachers, or even men freighted with
a mission. It viii be noticed that while
Mr.. Roosevelt shows a remarkable ap-
prec.ation OF human nature, he sticks
very closely 10 his universal text. which
is always that OF good ard active citizen
ship He has put it, during his New
England trip, in q hundred different
ways. but in sense and essence it always
gets back to the simple assertion that
1t is no use being good unless that ad-
mirable quality shows itself in good
deeds. He does not believe a man should
be content to wear his citizenship. he
should use it, constantly and persistent
ly, to raise the standard Of government.

lief in a strenuous life. and while it is

It must not be forgotten that the mistakes made by
privileged classes in trying to govern the masses have

II is not possible to compare Mr..
Roosevelt as public speaker with any
other President of the United States
who held Office during the recollection
Of the Oldest living voter He stands alb
s0IuteIy alone in his style of public
speaking. says the New Haven Regis
ter. recognizes none OF the rules and
traditions which are supposed to hedge
in President, and uses with really
charming indifference the words and ex-
pressions which come to him most read
lily TO express his ideas and proclaim his
convictions. even though they bear him
very close to the borders Of street slang
It would be confusing to judge OF him by
these speeches if it were not for his per-
sonaIity- He is distinctly the most in
/ teresting man in public life Without
regard to party he is regarded as hon
est and sincere. and hence language and
q certain boyishness which would not be
forgiven in another succeed in his case
in evading criticism
President Mckinley developed real
powers in public speaking. and ct the
moment Of his assassination had just
completed a speech of rare felicity and
power. One will search in vain for a
suggestion OF the Roosevelt spontaneity-
When former President Harrison made
his celebrated swing around the conti-
mental circle his frequent public speech
es surprised even those who had served
with him in Congress. 4 man of ex-
actIy opposite temperament from Mr.
Roosevelt. with a far less varied pub
lie training, but with far larger per
sonaI insight into national subjects and
issues, a man OF reserved disposition
Mr.. Harrison nevertheless made a series
OF speeches which were remarkable foI
their geniality and grasp Of local senti-
ment. They should. after the manner
OF human criticism, completely over
/ shadow the speeches made by President
Roosevelt, but they not only do not do
so. but they neither invite nor permit
comparison. We are entirely mistaken
in our judgment If. after all. the people
! of the country do not prefer the address
/ es of the present Chief Executive than
his predecessor. Their breezIness ana
intense humanity please and disarm
those who would make them the subject
OF critical analysis The man behind the
gun makes the instrument of explosion
more attractive
Some commentator has remarked with
! truth that the President is more of a
preacher than an orator, and We are IN
cIined to the opinion that this is so.
