SPECIAL PRIVILEGES 70 NONE

President Roosevelt believes in one
of the principles the Farmers Alliance
used to promulgate. He made IL very
clear in his speech In Connecticut on
Friday. He believes In fairness and
justice TO all, and special privileges to
none.

IT IS A BIG JOB.

Ten weeks ago the owners OF an.
thracite coal mines gave our semi
official statement in which they said:
This fight is not a question of
whether or not wages should be adj
vanced, but whether or not the union
shall he permitted 20 exist. We are
determined to break the union, no mat.
ter how long il takes"
AT that time they expected the min
ers TO be suing for peace on any terms
before July, and they animated that
they might punish the strikers by de-
clining 90 reopen the mines for a few
weeks. There IL no occasion for us
to hurry in resuming work" they said.
They now realize that the miners also
have something to say about the re-
sumption Of work and that breaking
the union Is not an easy job.
In few weeks more the public will
be demanding coal and declining to &C.
cept in lieu OF fuel the operators ex-
cuse that the union still exists. Then
there will be trouble for somebody

RESULTS OF IRRIGATION.

4ne nansas City Star says that the
recent census bulletin on Irrigation
is of especial interest IN view of the
federal irrigation plaa outlined at the
last session of congress. The bulletins
analysis shows that the existing sys-
TEN has been installed at a moderate
cost and that its operations are com.
merciaily successful. In 1899 the value
OF the irrigated crops in the arid states
was about SIIa million dollars, wnlle
the cos of constructing the systems
had been only G. millions. The crop
value was therefore about 80 per cent
more than the cost of installing the
irrigation works.
As about IA million acres OF land
was found 10 be under irrigation, the
COS, OF building the necessary canals,
bitches and other hydraulic works was
about 5o.S5 an acre. The land so irri.
gated must have been of little value
while unwatered. so that the money
spent In making II productive was I'm.
doubtedly a good investment. On the
crop producing irrigated area the ay-
erage value OF the yiol0 20 the acre
was SliSl, while the cost Of watering
the land was only So cents. The cost
of maintenance and tine interest on the
investment was not dollar q year.
Therefore nearly $ii an acre was left
to pay for labor and the interest on
the money invested In the purchase OF
the land and ia farm implements How
much the value Of the land has 81.
creased By the presence OF an irriga-
ton plant is not stated The average
value OF the irrigated land Is now
about $3.50 an acre. The growing pop
ularity of the system appears from the
fact that the irrigated acreage in the
arid states has more than doubled in
the last decade.
The results OF the census inyestiga-
don may be considered distinctly fay.
orahlo TO the federal plan now pro-
posed Il the governments work
proves as efficient as that done By prl-
waite irrigators there is every prospect
OF a vast agricultural development at
q cost which the nation viii not feel in
the slightest degree.
