CIVIC REFORM IN CHICAGO

PROBLEMS.

Chicago, March 21-Thc near approach
OF an aldermanic election has again brought
on a spasm of civic righteousness in Chi
cago. Under the guidance of the Municipal
Voters League. an organization which stands
for clean local government many prominent citi-
zens. together with a number Of the clergy, have
entered actively into the campaign, with the
avowed purpose of retiring TO private life the
most fragrant offenders against decent govern

the battle TO be waged at close quarters against
the representatives, of the unclean element in
city politics John Maynard Harlan. John
Barton Payne and the Rev. Frank Crane. The
latter is urging the opening of every church and
theatre in the downtown district for political
meetings in the interest Of honest politics.
Against Alderman John CoughIin. Familiarity

this campaign Of civic virtue will be directed.

the City Council The First Ward is the star

than four thousand names Of reporters have
already been stricken from the First Ward reg

persons charged with fraud in connection with
the registration and revision are contemplated

ARID LANDS OF THE WEST.
Address by Mr.. F. II. Newell on Sub
iect of Irrigation.

1ect OF 1rr1gat1on.
The Washington Society of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology held an
informal meeting last evening at the "Oc-
tagon House." New York avenue and 18th
street. Mr.. F. II. Newell, chief hydrog
rapher of the United States geological
survey, and member of the society, gave
most interesting talk, illustrated with
stereopticon views, on irrigation of the arid
lands throughout the United States, but
particularly in the west. He showed how
land which was once barren and compare
lively worthless, on account of the lack of
moisture, had been made productive and
valuable by storing water In rainy seasons
and time of plenty, and then carefully dis
tributing 1t as needed during the dry sea-
son through canals which often reach land
miles away from the reservoir. Comparing,
with such results, the vast areas within
can be brought into cultivation by properly
storing and distributing over it's surface
water which at present is flowing from the
mountain regions unimpeded to the sea, he
showed what great resources are within
the grasp of the nation.

bers and friends, among those present be-

UNDER ONE HEAD.
Physicians Want Health Officer Given
Exclusive Control of Medical Work.

The Medical Society Of the District Of Co.
lumbia has sent statement to the District
Commissioners urging the Capitalization Of
all the medical work of the District govern
ment under one head the health officer.
The work Of purely medical character un-
der the municipal authorities is now direct
ed from a number Of sources and includes
the following classes:
The administration Of the affairs Of the
health department.; the administration of
the medical affairs of the Washington
nation of applicants for appointments in the
police and fire departments; the treatment
Of the sick and injured employees of such
departments and the treatment of sick pris-
oners in police station houses; the treat
ment of the sick poor at their homes; the
determination of the physical condition of
applicants for admission to hospitals for
treatment at public expense, and the trans
fer of patients from their homes to these
institutions; the examination of applicants

pharmacists; the examination of applicants
| for licenses to practice dentistry, and the
examination of persons alleged to be insane,
with view to their commitment to the in
sane asylum. descriptive paragraph of

The medical association, in urging the re-
form, says 1t Is unable to find any reason
why the medical work Of the District

ments and offices OF the government while
all legal work is concentrated in the office
Of the city solicitor and all engineering
work in the engineer department.
