Accomplished Little.

The Maryland legislature has come to an
end, having accomplished but little.
Strictly political matters always succeed
in attracting the greatest amount ofatention
while, so far as the public welfare is concern,
ed, they are of but slight consequence; in
fact, outside of those who live and have
their being In politics and those very useless
and disagreeable people who never talk
about anything except political matters, such
legislation concerns but few. Some little
tinkering was done and a little more in this
line attempted at the election law, but the
one matter relating to oysters, the Chesa =
peake Bay and roads-the Haman bill
which was defeated possessed more intrinsic
merit and was of greater interest to more
people than all the political work accom-
plished or attempted.
1t has come to be understood and accepted
that political egislation-laws relating to
electons-shal be considered of chief i'm
portance in the work to be accomplished by
State Legislature: there certainly can be
no greater error than this.
Ia the life of State, elections are and
should continue to be matters Of minor i'm
portance and not the "all in all" the upper
most topic, the chief public concern, but
matters of education, of roads, of public
policy affecting the personal welfare of the
entire citizenship and not of the comparative
few who live by politics" such should be
the main propositions; such should be the
chief interests of the people in the work OF
State legislation.
1t Is probably fact, however. that there
could not be named five matters relating tc
the public interests of the State OF Maryland
the combined strength Of which before the
people would weigh against the one consid-
Grafton that the legislature of 1904 elects ar
United States Senator as the session JUS
closed accomplished that, 1t is probably al
that it was expected to do.

TO RECLAIM ARID LANDS.

The great American desert will bios
som as the rose if the supporters of the
irrigation bill just adopted by con-
gress are correct in their anticipations
The measure provides for the building
or reservoirs, canals and bitches for ir-
rigation purposes out of the fund de-
rived from sale of the lands in the
states to be benefited. There are 600,-
100000 of acres in this rainless region
and it is estimated that at least 60,000,-
600 can be made productive. or an area
nois. The government does not pro-
pose to irrigate this tract; it will only
provide the means for watering these
lands and sell small tracts to actual
settlers on long and favorable terms,
and they must do the rest.
The bill providing for this at first en-
countered eastern opposition, but the
provisions of it were shown to be so
fair and reasonable that it was adopted
by strong vote and as it meets the APP
prevail of President Roosevelt it be-
comes a law.
Irrigation is not a new feature of the
west. Already there are 100000 acres
thus watered and under cultivation as
result of private enterprise. 1t has
reached a point where private efforts
can go no further safely, and hence the
The irrigation works will be con-
structed under the direction of the Sec

various rivers and streams of the arid
region, their capacity, their flow, the
possibilities of the conservation of their
waters, the places where the waters are
to be conserved, the engineering 1ues
tons connected with thir diversion and
the construction of reservoirs and high
line bitches, the examination of the
typography with a view to ascertaining
what lands can be brought within the
reach of waters stored In reservoirs.
Thus it will be seen that much of the
preliminary work is already accom-
plished.
But it will take many years to accom-
plish all that is contemplated by this
bill and when it is finished a vast pro-.
ductive era will have been added to the
