ment in favor Of the measure. He con-
tended that the bill. as framed by the
committee of western senator's and rep

language.
He SAID the time has come when it
should be decided whether or not the
national aid TO land reclamation is
constitutional or advisable, and if not
the measure should be voted down.
If congress has not the power to as
sist in the reclamation of arid lands

RIGHT OF "TRIAL BY BATTLE"
Strange Case That Led to n Change In
English Jursprudence.

Strange Case That Led to n Change In
English Jurisprudence.
The Dymoke claim in England to the
kings championship reminds one of
the antiquity of the office, which was
established by the conqueror after the
battle of Hastings, when the dignity
was conferred on Robert de Marmion,
Lond of Fontenay. But the champion
ship is closely interviewer with the
trial by combat
How many Britons are aware that
trial by combat formed an essential
part of British Jurisprudence until the
beginning of the reign of George w.,
or how it ended? At that time. there
being a charge of murder against
certain Abraham Thornton. the gentle
man was advised by his counsel to
claim his right of trial by battle"
Accordingly, when brought before the
court of kings bench he flung down his
gage.
A solemn argument was afterward
held on the case, when the judges were
unanimous that he was entitled to
wage his battle. The nearest male rel
ative of the deceased. lad of 16, be-
ing manifestly unable to meet Thorn
tion in combat, declined any further
proceedings. The public feeling was
so much outraged that the attorney
general of the day Immediately intro
duced a bill for abolishing the right of
appeal in all criminal cases, bill
which, however, did not pass without
opposition,

Yet when each half in America has

The Cost Of Irrigation.
CCentury.)

Those who look forward to the control
of the great rivers Of America and the use
of funds supplied by the Government for
that purpose point to the fact that Eng
land has spent about S30,000000 on the
new Nile dams and other works for con-
trolling the great Egyptian river and max
ing certain the crops of the valley below,
and that she has invested the sum Of
$500, ODO, 0OOfor irrigation purposes in India
during the last 30 years. A single canal
from the Gangcs cost SIS 100000; it has
total length, including tributaries and
drainage cuts, of 1910 miles, and irri-
gates over 1,0O0,000 acres of land These
works in India, costly and stupendous as
they have been, are regarded by the Eng
lish as a profitable Investment. There are
100000 acres of land under cultivation
in the valley of the Nile, supporting a
population Of over 100000 people. Mr..
Elwood Mead, irrigation expert Of the
United States Government. estimates that
the Missouri River and its tributaries, if
properly controlled, will irrigate FIVE times
as much territory, furnishing an oppor-
tunity for the expansion Of surplus. popu-
lation that will last the American people
for long time to come. No, these West
erners do not believe in the necessity Of
foreign islands rs an outlet for American
colonization; they point rather to their
own eXpanses Of unclaimed, cheap, rich
land in climate that is nearly perfect.
