GIVE US WATER, UNCLE SAM.
BY SAM C. DUNHAM.
What we want out here Is water, Just plain water, Uncle Sam,,. And we think ,Ou ought to bring it from a governmental dam.

We've just learned that you've decided, After many years delay, To supply the West with water--- If you -isdihe scheme will pay. We've been praying hard for moisture, Through the hot and arid years But our cry of ."Watep' Water'' Has just lately reached your ears. Though we're longing for this liquid, Yet We wouldn't have you think For solitary minute
 Tbat we want the stuff to drink. We have other kinds of liquids, From the best brands to the worst, And they're all quite etiicaeious. When il comes to quenching thirst. We maintain ou. here that water Its great function best fu1flls When it irrigates our ranches And brings power to our mills. If you cant resist the impulse Ina. impeis you to expand, You can find room for expansion On our aacient arid land. (As we furnished you with silver When you wanted to resumey Now that you've eapoused expansion, Wen provide the bridaLroom.l. Come ont .here and help us finish: What God left about half done, When He turned this deSert, ove"r To the Lizards and the Sun Iou can go up in these mountains, And construct d reservoir For a titAe of what you squandered In your recent foreign war. You can go down in these valleys And produce flowing well, And won't have to run your auger More than half way down to hell. You can dig q hundred ditches,
 From the Platte tO Tonopah. For much less than you have taxed Us For your ditch at Panama With the difTerential duties
 Which you pay the Sugar Trust You can pump sufficient water , To forever lay our dust. H.you' Il only bring Us Water
 To our arid lands out West, We will ask no further faTars,,
 And will quickly do the rest, We will make this desert blossom. Like the fertile Philippines, Where you're killing off the natives Wbile we furnish,you the means. We will show you what strong muscles, When engaged in honest toll, Can produce on barren uplands
 From a shallow, sandy soil. We will fill your empty coffers
 With the stuff you like so wel,-- Then the bankers can't control you. For you'll have gold bricks to sell.
  When this prayer of ours you answer And our arid lands redeem, You will see the full fruition
 Of our Photographic dream. Then you'll see our verdant valleys, Smiling meath our azure skies, Circied round by purple mountains, Like the wales of Paradise.

End In the effort to make a readable
magazine article that may be OF use Il
some other poor but honest young man
they leave out the kernel. the crux. the
open sesame, and the seeker is as un-
certain of the route to success as he
was before he read the directions. That
the directions are not essential is indi-
Gated by the truth that they do not
agree regarding the methods. and be-
cause this man and that one has sue
ceeded although ne failed to follow the
directions.
General Grant and the great captains
of industry succeeded because, in the
first place, they conquered themselves.
They had inspirations, lightning fash
es, insight into the heart of things.
Instead of communicating their illum-
ination and vulgarizing 1t they stored
it and gradually 1t became one body
with the other illumined thoughts, and
behold a campaign or a great CONNER
cia; reorganization, There are men,
and women, too, who are like un-
matched car wheels. They make the
car wobble and a slight obstruction
throws Ii OF the track. The people
with the wobbly wheels do not know
the reason for their eccentric move
ments and they ascribe it to genius.
They always have a scheme which
they think Is going to make them
rich, and they babble about it to their
acouaintances. The scheme is uncon-
nected with their actual means ofearn-
ing a livelihood. 1t is futile and 1t Is
abandoned for another OF the same
kind very soon. These people die eth
er in the poor-house or in the hand
some house of silent relative.
General Miles talks too much. He
rates his opinions as valuable public
property. In his youth he may have
had illuminated messages, but youth
has fed far down the past and left him
talking, He is vain and he relates his
valorous deeds to all who will listen;
but the good -natured listeners are get
ting fewer and the president and sec
retary of war are tired. 1t is certain
that because in his youth Miles al
lowed himself to tell his adventures
over and over again with Illustrations.
that now he must prematurely join the
futile crowd OF old soldiers who criti-
else the army. the administration,
modern times, and their tendencies. and
talk about the halcyon times Of forty
years ago.
General Grant gave himself time to
think. II a man talks all the time he
does not leave any moments for his
good angel to communicate inspiration.
and besides he gets the name of a bab-
bier, and a president or a governor
does not appoint a chatterbox to a
place of honor and responsibility. The
men who have made great combina-
tions in this and the just passed GEN.
tury are men of determined silences
that they break only when the time is
ripe for a communication. All the es-
says which purport to point the way
to success might be condensed into
fewer words.

Yet General Miles proposes that an

the Cubans may tell the Filipinos all
