VAS He INSoLENTe

So far as T h G 10 b e has seen, the
report of the insolent manner in which
President Roosevelt acted toward Gen.
Miles and Admiral Dewey on the oc-
casion of a recent reception has not
been denied. The occasion was the
annual and formal New Years reception,
when the commander of the army and
the admiral of the navy appeared at
the head Of their respective delegations
to pay their respects to the chief of
both services. The report goes on that
both men were greeted by the president
with formal shake of the hand, and
not word. 1t is reported, however,
that Mrs. Roosevelt, with more kindness
than was shown by the president, cheer
lily greeted both distinguished warriors
and entered into conversation with them,
thus relieving situation that was in
tensely painful.
If this report be true-and it has been
without public denial for two weeks
President Roosevelt must be written
down boor, at the very least. There
is a growing impression that much power
hath made Teddy insolent, and that he
looks with favor only on those petty
souls who fawn and kotow before him.
There is no sufficient reason, SO far
as the general public knows, why an
official indignity should be heaped upon
Gen. Miles and Admiral Dewey by the
president, and if there was a strong
provocation for displeasure on his part
the decencies and proprieties of the re-
ception required that he smother his
personal feelings and at least be civil
to the foremost soldier and the foremost
naval officer of the time

of his own creation, and he smiIingly
waves his hand at those who are un-
fortunate enough to catch a cinder in
the eye from his machine Of torture.
Isn't it about time to stop this nuisance?
1t should not be tolerated in any well
regulated city for a moment.
Then there are some garbage concerns
that drive about town that are an abom-
ination in the sight Of those who prefer
walking to town to riding in a crowded
street car. The stencil arising from these
is enough to drive a warrior from the
South Sea Islands to drink Yet they
are permitted to keep up their nuisance
right along, and our able health commits
sioner does not seem to know it. Between
smoke and stencil we prefer the smoke
At least it does not turn one sick for
a whole day.
We have always presumed that the man
who walks had a few rights which he
who rides must respect But we are
slowly learning the lesson that If you
walk you have to take a corner, way
back, and take what you get. He who
rides or he who runs an electric car
has the everlasting right of way. The
notoneers Of our street railway are
chronic Offenders against the walking
classes. Why? Were you ever in a hur-
ry to walk to your place Of business?
Did you ever reach a street crossing on
muddy day, at about the same mo-
ment as street car reached there? Did
you notice with what malign satisfaction
the motoneer could manage to take up
and block the entire street crossing, and
stop to suit his convenience or for some
other reason. He will grin at you from
the window of mis- front vestibule, anus
ed at your discomfort at having to wait
several minutes until Lis majesty of the
brake permits you to cross Of course
You can take your choice and paddle
through the mud. That Is the privilege
of the man who walks. But in every
well regulated city we have found in all
our travels that the sidewalk and the
crossings belong to him who from choice
or necessity has to use "footman's car
riage" and go 1t alone There Is some
room for improvement along this line in

IMPERIALISM.

Extract from an address made by Rob
ert G. Ingersoll:
"a little while ago I stood by the grave
of the old Napoleon-a magnificent tomb
OF gilt and gold, fit almost for a dead
delty-and gazed upon the sarcophagus of
black Egyptian marble. where rest at
last the ashes of that restless man. I
leaned over the balustrade and thought
about the career of the greatest soldier
of the modern world
II saw him walking upon the banks of
the Seine, contemplating suicide. l saw
MIN at Toulon-I saw him putting down
the mob in the streets Of Paris-I saw
him at the head of the army in Italy-I
saw him crossing the bridge Of Lodi
with the tri-color in his hand-I saw him
in Egypt in the shadow of the pyra-
mids-I saw him conquer the Alps and
mingle the eagles of France with the
e efag lies 20 of the er, crags; I saw him at
him in Russia, where the infantry of the
snow and the cavalry of the wild blast
scattered his legions like winters wither-
ed leaves | saw him at Leipslc in defeat
and disaster-driven by a million bayo-
nets back upon PariS-clutched like O.
wild beast-banished to Elba. I saw Inim
escape and retake an empire by the force
OF his genius. saw him upon the
frightful field Of Waterloo, where Chance
and Fate combined to wreck the fortunes
of their former king. And I saw him
at St. Helena, with his hands crossed be-
solemn sea.
T thought of the orphans and widows
ne had made-of the tears that had been
shed for his glory, and OF the only
woman who ever loved him, pushed
from his heart by the cold hand Of am
bition. And I said 1 would rather have
been a French peasant and worn wooden
shoes. would rather have lived in a hut
with vine growing over. the door, and
OF the autumn sun. I would rather have
been that poor peasant with my loving
wife by my side, knitting as the day died
out of the Sky-with my children upon
my knee and their arms about me- I
would rather have been that man and
gone down to the tongueiess silence OF
the dreamless dust than have been that

The chaplain Of the United States SEN
ate has at last done the right thing in
regard to newspaper reporters He has
prayed for them. 1t is a matter of record
that for the first time in the history of
the senate reporters and correspondents
We're prayed for in the meetings of that
public body This is turning over a new
leaf and good results are expected.
Inc newspaper reporter has been rallied
at from time immemoriaI, but no one
thought Of praying for him. Ever since
ne came into being he has 6een blamed
for dolngs and misdoings. Never receiv-
ing from the public a word of praise, he
has been charged with all the offenses
that creep into the daily paper. Ever on
the alert to please the public, he has had
In return only abuse.
1t Is strange that no one thought of
praying for him. He was sadly in need
of it. But now that the good example
has been set by the chaplain of the
United States senate it is expected THAI
preachers generally will follow the ex-
ample; It is hoped, also, that private
individuals, instead of heaping curses on
the wicked reporter, will now pray for
his conversion; that he may be kept in
the ways of truth and rectitude.-Chicag

NEGLECTED md FoRGorrEy.


Gov Beckham, of Kentucky, a few
days ago in one of his official recommen-
dation urged On the legislature that
small appropriation be made for the en-
enlargement of the effort made by the
state historical society to collect and
preserve material connected~. with the
states history. The suggestion of the
devotion of the states money to such
uses usually comes in just the modest
form adopted by the Kentucky governor,
because of the fact that the popular mind
is almost entirely absorbed in the ad-
vancement of material interests which
make very little concern of the senti-
mental aspects of human progress and
elevation. But the occasion is availed
of by the Courier Journal to call atten-
ton to the work of the Daughters of
the Revolution to erect monument
commemorative of the heroic achieve
ments of the great pioneer American
soldier, George Rogers Clarke.
In the current biographical sketch of
Gen. Clarke it is stated that simple lit
tie stone alone marks his grave in Cave
Hill cemetery at Louisville, on which
are engraved his initials, and it is added
that not a half dozen persons in the
United States outside of Louisville can
point out the only memorial thus re-
naming of the greatness of one of the
greatest men that the American CONT
nent has produced.
1t is not the duty of Kentucky
alone to build the monument which the
Daughters of the Revolution are irving
TO call into existence. 1t is a duty. The
failure to discharge which is a blot on The

There is no great hurry up necessity

power. In that line Of duty every Demo-

Chance for Real Leadership.

Here is the Philippine tariff before the
senate now. No caucus can be needed to
consolidate opposition to a measure so
unstatesmanlike and unjust and 50 OBJ
noxiously expressive of the Republican
tariff policy. The senator who shall most
clearly expose its falsity and formulate
the outlines of a liberal commercial pol
icy in contrast with it will put himself
at once in the line Of leadership. The
party in power is laundering along in
Its colonial policy, in it's economic pol
icy, in its financial policy. What is the
opposition doing? Disputing over dead
issues and fitting at windmills Leaders
are never evolved from such conditions,

IRRIGATION IN THE NORTH WEST.

IRRIGATION IN THE NORTH WEST.
In disposing Of the remaining public
lands of the United States the object
sought should be to exclude speculation
in every way possible and to encourage
the occupation of these lands by actual
home builders. These should be COM
PEELED to reside upon and cultivate the
land for a full period of five years be-
fore acquiring title to their homesteads.
and any law by which lands of the
government might be secured without
this five years residence should be i'm
mediately repealed.
The friends of national aid to irri-
cation seek only the settlement and de-
velopment CT the arid lands by a pros
porous rural population It is not con-
tended that the general government
should go into the irrigation business to
the extent Of preparing the land for the
immediate production of an agricultural
crop, but on the contrary, merely to do
such work as the construction of the
mainline canals, dams and reservoirs;
that the distributing systems of canals,
fumes, etc, should be done by the set
tiers themselves under a cooperative
form Of organization as has been SO sue
cessfully done by the early settlers of
Utah, Colorado, Montana and many 9th
er states
Heretofore considerable opposition has
been manifested throughout the East by
agricultural interests. This has been caus-
ed by the fear that the products Of the
arid region would come in competition
with those of the humid belt. This fear
is groundless, as it is a well known fact
that with irrigation in any particular sec
ton OF the West, mining and other in
dustries are built up, which causes a
local consumption of the products pro-
duced in that vicinity; in fact the min
ing development is limited largely nv
the amount of agricultural development
in any particular state
1t can be conservatively stated that as
a representative Of it's particular class,
the American Agriculturist stands ar
the very head Of American papers. For a
number of years this paper opposed ma
tional aid to the reclamation of public
lands, but after thoroughly investigating
the matter by visiting the irrigated sec
tions and ascertaining beyond a doubt
that any general development of the
agricultural interests in the arid belt
would tend to increase the mining and
other interests in such region in turn
creating greater demand for machinery
and many manufacturing interests of the
humid belt, thus in turn creating local
| demand within the humid belt for agri-
cultural products and stimulating a gem
eral business activity therein, this paper
became firm friend and advocate Of
the federal aid to irrigation.
