Hitchcock says: ut is safe to predict
from tho recent struggles for homes up
on the public domain that every acre OF
vacant land to be supplied with water
would be Immediately taken in small
tracts by men who would not only Gull
tivate the ground when water is had
but in the meantime would be available
as laborers in the construction OF the
works and would ultimately refund to-
the government the cost of the under
taking" On that point the people rest
easy. The government always comes
out well in the operations that create
new farms from the lands hitherto UNI
used. Both Leading parties in their plat
forms favor national aid in irrigation.
The president and secretary of the In
terror advocate it, and the senate has
now approved 1T by what is exceedingly
in congress, a unanimous vote
There can be no reasonable doubt con-
corning similar action by the house at
the present session.

the past ten days one of the well
known rural carriers and a teacher in
nearly the same vicinity have had ex-
periences with school directors which
are rather interesting.
Some months ago Chris Rohm, of
route No. 5, met with mishaps in try
ing to drive UP to some of the mail
boxes at q corner of the cross roads
several miles from the city on the Har
rison street road. and the route in
spector ordered that the boxes be
placed on the other side of the road.
1t happened that the driver had to
drive UP an embankment to reach them
and in so doing he broke his vehicle
several times. The residents did
change their boxes to the other side
fastened them to the school house
fence corner--all but one man, and he
was director of the school. He de-
Iclared that he would not change his
and the carrier told him that if he
didn't he would receive no mail.
The other residents continued to re-
ceive their mail and the mail of the
director, it is claimed, was left at the
postoffice and there it piled up until
there was enough to fill bushel bas-
ket-and he would not call for it. The
carrier insisted that he would not
bring out this mail until the box was
changed and things went on until a
few days ago when the director or
dered the boxes on the school house
fence taken down.
The carrier told the residents not
to take the boxes down. In the mean
time he has looked up the law and
has found that while the boxes can
not be fastened to the fence. they can
be placed on posts beside the fence
and this will be done. The school
director will have to put up his box
on d post on the other side of the road
If he expects to have any mail put in

STATE UNIVERSITY DEMANDS.

The people of Iowa are very friendly
to the State University of Iowa City and
would be glad to see liberal appropria-
lions from the state treasury to build
1t up, but there is a widespread feeling
that 1t is asking too much of the pres
ent legislature There is belief, too,
that the university authorities are
jeopardizing what might be conceded as
IA liberal appropriation by insistence
upon the present policy. 1t would seem
that an equitable consideration of all
interests would scale down the amount
desired. Not only is there a demand for
q one-fifth mill tax, which would yield
appropriations are called for by the I'M
iversity The temper of the house in
defeating the five-mill tax, and the OPP
position developed in the senate, ought
to be sufficient hint that more moderate
demands are prudential and in fact es-
sential to the we'll being of this school.
One may lament that the legislature
and it's supporters are not more thor
oughly imbued with the desire to see
the university broadly and quickly de-
veloped. but he must take things as he
finds them and make the best of OPP
portunities.
The T.-R. is not inclined to throw the
weight of straw in the universities
course. even tho it realizes that there
are other state interests that should be
served. Gov. Cummins, in his inaugural
address, warmly advocated liberal
policy in building up the university. He
assumed an attitude that might be wise
ly initiated but even the chief eAecu-
tive would not favor a plan that would
defeat itself in an appeal to the .egis-
jatuva

Democracy in Straits.

At the democratic love feast in New
York few nights ago there was an in
timation that the slogan during the
next presidential campaign would be
opposition to the tariff We hope
not. 1t indicates that the democratic
party is rather poorly off for material
il it is going into post mortem mat
ters. Applauding dead issues or OPP
posing living ones is not the mission
OF any great organization. In our
humble opinion the democratic party
car only succeed when 1t becomes the
party of the affirmative. The time has
gone when its mission is simply to hit
the other fellow and have no actual
and positive purpose of it's own. The
Iconoclast is rarely if ever to be COM
mended.

START IN NATIONAL IRRIGATION.

The Times Republican has referred
to the irrigation bill adopted by the
senate, the unanimity vita which it was
approved, and the probability that the
house would concur. In expressing the
same view the St Louis Globe-Demo-
crat goes on to say of this measure,
which provides money for the work
thru the sale Of public lands, that:
President Roosevelts position in fa-
vor of irrigation is set forth in his re-
cent message. He has lived on a ranch
in an arid state and knows the needs of
the region as a practical observer. The
thirteen states and three territories to
which the bill approved by the senate
Will apply are Arizona, California, Col
orado, Idaha, Kansas, Montana, Ne
braska, Nevada, New Mexico, North
and South Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Utah, Washington and Wyoming This
vast region needs only permanent
supply of water for agricultural pur-
poses to support an enormous popula-
ton, and to add in like ratio to the
wealth and material security of the ma
ton.
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock
remarked in his latest annual report
that no public question Of the day is
more important than the conservation
of the water supply, the reclamation of
the arid lands of the west and their
settlement by the builders of homes
and communities. MIR. Hitchcock has
since published AN article in which he
enlarges upon the theme. One-third
of the domain of the United States is
still vacant, but most of the unoccupied
land is unavailable for lack of water
Water it at hand in numerous rivers fed
by mountain ranges, but largely passes
off in periodical floods. Great reser-
voirs are essential, and these, it is clear,
can not be constructed by any possible
associated effort of the hardy men who,
with but few dollars at best, carve out
a home In the wilderness. AT this point
the senate bill proposes that the gov
eminent shall assist by applying to ir-
rigation reservoirs the money received
from the sale of lands in the states
and territories to be benefited. No less
than 600,000,000 acres need water and
will lie idle and barren until the re-
quisite supply is obtained. AS far as
the money of the government Is to be
expended under the proposed bill. full
fairness to all states Interested in the
rivers enforced.
