IRRIGATION SHOULD BE NA1lonALlzED.

This is the caption of an editorial arti-
Gle in the Omaha Bee in which that pa
per vigorously rejects the irrigation
measure about to be urged in congress
and demands something better. The Bee,
apparently, does not have before it the
opposition that may arise to an irrga-
ton scheme of great magnitude, but
makes itself clear In opposition to a
proposition which many oilers regard
as mere entering wedge for greater
work hereafter. 1t says:
The irrigation bill prepared by the
subcommittee appointed by the con-
gressional delegations from the semi
arid states, as outlined by our Washing
ton dispatches, will not meet the de-
mands of the hour. The scheme is fun
damentally wrong and at best mere
makeshift for irrigation in driblets and
patches.
The proposition that the proceeds from
the sales of the public lands In the states
and territories between the Missouri
river and Pacific coast be set apart as a
special fund for the reclamation of the
arid and serni-arid lands is wrong in
principle and would prove wrong in
practice. There is no more reason why
the proceeds from public land sales
should be devoted to the reclamation of
arid lands than to the reclamation of
swamp lands. There is no more reason
why the construction of irrigation reser-
voirs and irrigation canals should be
made dependent upon the amount real
lied from public land sales than there is
for making the Improvement of harbors
CT the Atlantic and Pacific seaboard de-
pendent on the amount of port duties
collected in each respective harbor.
The country at large is fairly informed
az to the scope and advantages of irri-
CATION and is fully prepared to meet the
rational demands upon the national
treasury for the establishment of a COM
prehensiye system of irrig alton works.
1t is not only imprudent, but IMPROVE
dent, to authorize internal public i'm
,provements without definite knowledge
Of the amount to be expended. If con-
gress decides upon the establishment OF
an extensive system of irrigation that
Will necessarily involve the expenditure

pended each year for that purpose

should be clearly set forth N the appre
4 ria ion bills

should be clearly set forth N the appro-
lriation bills.
Congress will be justified in making
liberal appropriations for the reclama-
ton of the arid and semi-arid lands. but
no scheme for the reclamation of these
lands deserves encouragement unless 1t
ooptemplates the naturalization of irri-
cation.
First of all, congress should provide
for the preparation of a comprehensive
plan for national system of irrigation
by expert hydraulic engineers on scale
commensurate with the vast area to be
reclaimed. This may require topo-
graphical survey of that portion of the
country not yet surveyed and mapped.
No rational plan that would embrace
within its scope the entire region to be
reclaimed can be presented without first
ascertaining the volume Of water that
can be drained into the irrigation canals
from the rivers at their lowest stage and
the area and capacity of storage reser-
vors necessary TO insure a sufficient
amount of water for the land to be irri
gated. With these prerequisites kept in
view, congressional legislation should
proceed on the line of least resistance
without abandoning the idea of nation
alizaton.
The greatest obstacle to be met in the
naturalization of irrigation will be the
conflicting state laws relative to water
rights, which make effective co-opera-
ton between the various state irriga-
ton systems almost impossible. To
reconcile these differences and bring the
state laws into harmony with national
legislation will be the work of many
years, and congress may as well begin
the demolition of the fences erected by
the various state legislatures by which
they have sought to establish exclusive
water privileges for irrigation compa-
lies who seek to monopolze the waters
of the streams that flow within their
borders.
Without uniformity in the irrigation
laws any attempt to reclaim the great
body of arid ana semi-arid lands would
prove a dismal failure.

coAfeDeRATEs IN SOLDIERS HOME

[Chicago Tribune.]
Last week while the house of repre-
sentatives was discussing the pension
bill Mr.. Rixey, of Virginia, spoke at
some length in favor of the admission of
confederate veterans to the soldiers
homes maintained by the federal gov
eminent. He said that while the whole
country is taxed to support the men who
fought in the federal army the southern
states are obliged to make special APP
propria tons for the eXconfederates and
to maintain homes and grant pensions
out of their own revenues. This dis
elimination, Mr. Rixey thought, was
unjust. The survivors of both sides
should be cared for by the people in
general
To this view of the matter Mr.. Rlch-
ardson. of Tennessee, took exception.
ION what ground said he. sis the con-
federate soldier to be admitted to the
homes? The federal soldier is admitted
because he fought to preserve the union.
Now, are you going to admit the con-
federate soldier because he fought to de-
stroy the union?" This puts the case
b;untly but forcibly, and as Mr.. Rich
ardson was himself in the confederate
army his motive is not hatred OF the
south. 1t is rather profound respect for
the south and a delicate sense OF honor
and propriety, II am proud, he SAID
later, that no confederate soldier, so
far as know, has ever asked to go into
a union home. and never will, hope"
In taking this stand Mr.. Richardson Is
supported by strong sentiment in other
PARTS of the south. The State of Column
tia, s. c., for instance, regards Mr.. XIX
ey's suggestion as lin bad taste, and
says that the southern people will never
consent to the survivors of the confeder-
ate armies being pensioned by the fed
eral government. Governor McSweeney,
CT South Carolina. has included in his
message to the legislature strong rec
ommendation for the establishment of
state home for confederate soldiers
Nobody takes exception to what the
southern states are doing for their old
soldiers. Some of those states have SOL
d!ers' homes. Others appropriate for
pensions. The appropriations are small,
but good many soldiers are cared for.
The federal homes are for soldiers who
have served the federal government.
The confederates can hardly lay claim to
that distinction. What is more, they
do not want to. Like Mr.. Richardson.
they may say outright that they do not
believe that those who fought in the
rebellion have a right to ask the gov
eminent to compensate them in any de-
gree whatever"

FAMOUS IOWA STATESMEN.

Who are the two Iowans most de-
serving of fame? When HAL of
Fame" was proposed as feature of the
great st. Louis exposition several hun
dred letters were written to prominent
educators, journalists and public men in
Iowa, who were asked to make prelimi-
nary suggestions OF the names of two
men who, in their judgment, were most
representative of rhe forces whoch have
made the state great The only limita-
tions were that the names should be of
historic characters. no longer living, and
who had been identified by their work
with the history of the state.
Such query compelled Iowans to put
on their thinking caps, for the annals Of
the Hawkeye state contain the names of
many able, distinguished and worthy
men. The discussion thus begun led to
protracted correspondence, during sew
eral months and to the suggestion of
many names of those who have passed
away and some who are still on the
stage Of action.
The names most frequently submitted
were those of Samuel j. Kirlwood.
James w. Grimes and James Harlan.
Governor Shaw submitted three names
in this order: James Harlan. James w.
Grimes and Samuel ]. Kirkwood. Con-
gresham Lacey placed Grimes first and
Gen Samuel A. Rice second. President
Maclean, of the state university, named
James Harlan and James w. Grimes.
Editor j. w. Waite, of the Burlington
Hawkeye. placed them in this order:
James w. Grimes and James Harlan.
The editor OF the Des Moines Register
declared that the name of Kirkwood is
no doubt the almost unanimous choice
Of the people of Iowa.
Among the other names mentioned by
others are those of Senator George w.
Jones, Senator Dodge. Theodore S. Par
vim, Senator Gear. Among the living
public men Senator w B. Allison is fire.
quently named.
It would seem from q summary of
views that the names Of Kirkwood and
Harlan should be selected.
