IRRIGATION.
Is Government Assistance tn Irriga-
ti0n Necessary?

With something over seven NIL
hon acres irrigated in the United
States, which include a number OF
large irrigation systems and dams,
all built by private capital, snys
the National Homemaker. the
question frequently arises-whv
cannot an adlitional seven million
acres or an additional twenty NIL
hon acres of arid land he trans
formed by private capital into pro-
ductive irrigated farmsi In other
words, why should it be necessary
to ask any Government assistance
for this development ofthe Wests
1t ID admitted that irrigation rays;
the larger, better, and surer crops
can he raised under it than by de-
pendence upon the elements, and
that irrigated communities are, as
n rule, very prosperous ones. Nor
can it be said that any PROJECT Is
really too large or requires too
much capital for prlvate enterprise
to undertake, provided it offers an
assured profit Or certain income
on the investment. Why, then,
will not the arid States have a
gradual and healthy development
through the continued establish
meni of irrigation systems and the
building OF irrigation dams by pri
vate capital seeking investment?
The answer is, that no great ir-
rigation system which has been
constructed as an investment for
private capital, and for the pur
pose of selling water to far.ns RS in
order to earn a permanent inter
est on that capital, has been sue
cessful and profit able as an invest
ment. This has been in the llisto
nv in this country and in India.
where, years ago, the government
assumed control OF all large irrl
CATION works.
Cooperative companies, where
the shares IN the water company
are held by the owners OF the lrr-
gated lands, and the water system
is operated as an adjunct to the
cultivation of those lands, the
ownership of both land and water
being thus united, have been al
most universally successful and
profitable to the owners.
But the great irrigation works
necessary to be built to utilize the
waters that now run to waste In
the floods or in the great rivers of
the West, or TO reclaim the arid
public lands. require too large an
investment, and must be built on
too large scale tor the co-opera-
tive enterprise of the landowners
or settlers themselves. Hence
they must be built by the Govern
, ment, If at all,

The Crowd at the CAPITAL

At this stage Of the encampment 1t is ap-
parently impossible for any more than
rough estimate to be made of the total num-
Der of visitors to the capital. On an occa-
sion like this, with events spread over an
entire week. 1t is the rule that the delega-
lions and the unattached tourists arrive
even on the third and fourth day, and con-
sequently the register of the encampment
arrivals cannot be summed I'D until the
close OF the week, and perhaps not until
later 1t Is evident, however, from the state
ments of railroad officials that the crowds
are already unusually heavy and that all
indications point to record breaking at
tendance. This is significant In view Of the
fact that the membership of the Grand
Army OF the Republic Is dwindling with
each year. Therefore the increased num-
bers must be due to growing tendency on
the part Of the people to accept opportuni-
ties which special occasions offer to visit
the capital city. This disposition to take
advantage of reduced rates. to come to
Washington becomes more evident year by
year. The Washington habit is certain
to become firmly fixed when once a tourist
has spent few days here. especially as
the city's attractions grow more fascinating
with each seasons additions to the equip
ment. Then, too, there are many hundreds

The Presidents Offer.

President Roosevelt's proposition to Mr.
Mitchell, the leader of the striking miners,
should open the way to a patriotic sacri-
flee by the miners for the sake Of the pub
lie welfare. The President offers, If the
strike is immedia tely called off to permit
the resumption of mining, to appoint
commission to investigate the grievances of
the men and to recommend remedies for
their abatement. He promises further to
take what steps may lie within his power
to secure the adoption of these remedies
and thus to obtain for the miners the terms
for which they are now striving as far as
justice demands Then, for what it is
worth, there is the operators proposition
of arbitration of individual grievances be-
fore certain Pennsylvania courts
Apparently the miners alone can be relied
which ties up the peoples coal supply. The
operators are stubborn and lnsolent in their
attitude. They are likely to become more
so in view of the dispatch of the full force
Of Pennsylvania troops to the mines I'm
less the strikers return forthwith to work
the blockade is likely to last for many
weeks. Even with a gradual resumption of
work the coal output cannot be sufficient
to meet the demands Of the people before
severe weather sets In. and terrible suffer-
ing is certain to result.
Under these circumstances the patriotic
thing. the wise thing, for the miners to do
today IS to accept this plan of settlement,
trusting Mr.. Roosevelt to expose the whole
truth before the country and to secure the
amelioration of the miners condition upon
terms of equity and justice.

Lawlessness in the United States.

Let US be frank with one another. Is not
lawlessness too much the order of the day
throughout the United States? Do not the
dispatches in the press. week by week-not
from one section but from all sections
show too ready disregard of the remedies
prescribed by the statutes for the redress of
grievances? Are we not a people grow
ing hardened to such things as instead
should fill US with the gravest apprehen-
sions? There are, 1t Is true, protest after
protest Both press and pulpit utter Them
and In terms of force and truth and sin
certify. But do they accomplish anything?
Is the mob spirit subsiding because Of them?
Are the sworn officers of the law bestirring
themselves as the result Of them? And if
the press and the pulpit are not able to
arouse public sentiment to a sense OF the
national disgrace and danger. to what
agency may We look for relief?

foreign press because Of its neglect Of
American news. Whether in London, or

Cup to the Governor" and -!


From the Philadelphia Press
The whole country has been resounding
with the cry that the question Of law and
order and public peace is up to Governor
Stone The governor responds by ordering
out the entire National Guard Of Pennsyl-
vania.
He has doubtless hoped to avoid this
necessity. He has delayed-perhaps not
altogether unnaturally-to see whether a
settlement of the strike would not avert the
last resort. The leaders on both sides of
the struggle have failed to meet the duty
of the hour, and the governor acts.
The crucial test will now come. Law and
order will be enforced at all hazards II
the operators can man and run the mines.
they will have protection If there are
miners ready to work they will be under
the aeg1s of the law. If the leaders Of the
strike can hold out the men while the
power OF the state commands peace. they
will have the opportunity. The claims Of
both sides are now to be tried out
But 1t ought not to have come to this
issue. and 1t ought not to remain such an
issue. The operators ought to have met
the President In the patriotic spirit in
misstep the leaders of the miners should
have taken their true step. They should
have called the strike or and appealed to
the judgment of the people.
1t Is not too late yet. though the true and
strategic hour has passed. 1t might have
been an act Of grace, while now 1t will
seem much like an act Of force. But now
1t Is even more vital question Tor MIR.
Mitchell and his associates Shall it be
acquiescence or disintegration? Now 1t
Is up to them. They ought to have done
some quick thinking after Friday. They
Will need to do some hard thinking now.
Meanwhile the supremacy OF the law, de-
rided and well-nigh PROSTATE for time.
will again be asserted. Would that we
might have had settlement and peace; but
law and order We must have at any cost.

The entire success Of the regatta held on
the Potomac yesterday ought to encourage
the local oarsmen to persist In their efforts
each season until this river shall have been
restored to its prestige among the Ameri-
can crews as general meeting place. With
list Of entries much longer than was ex-
pected, with a course kept practically clear
from start to finish, with the banks and
bridge lined with thousands of enthusiastic
spectators, and with the best Of manage
ment to prevent tedious delays the occa-
sion was notable in the whole record Of
local aquatic events. Furthermore, the VIC
tory Of local oarsmen In three of the races
added to the intense interest which Wash
ingtonians took in the affair and should
serve to stimulate the capitals pride in this
line of sport. Unfortunately The Star cup,
trophy Of victory in the race between SEN
Tor fours, was won by an out-of-town crew,
but this fact should stimulate local efforts
to rescue at another season. Surprise
was expressed. according to reports,
by some Of the visiting oarsmen that
the Potomac regatta has not been
maintained as an annual institution.
1t behooves every lover Of boating and
every patron of the sport to that this
reproach is never again uttered, but that
the Potomac will once more become a famil-
lar name with the crews Of the United
States. Congratulations and thanks are
due to the committee headed by Chairman
Doyle who made this regatta a success

The Hanna-Johnson Debate.

Now, if Mr.. Hanna and Mr.. Johnson,
when they meet In joint debate, will but
stick to the text the country ought to be
both instructed and entertained. The chal-
lenge was a sort of inspirations; its prompt
acceptance an exhibition OF courage.
Debates about the tariff are too often
conducted by mere rhetoricians The result
is nil. 1t is strange, indeed, how that SUBJ
ject and the subject Of finance attract men
whose education and employment forbid the
hope Of profitable exposition by them. A
brilliant lawyer whose time Is taken up
principally by the duties Of his profession
prepares himself for a tariff speech as he
does for the trial of case in court He
rummages around for authorities" quotes
just enough to strengthen his views of the
question, throws in by way Of ornament and
for good measure some striking figures of
speech-he handles them more easily than
he does figures of trade-and that is his
contribution. He darkens rather than illu
inmates the subject for everybody but him
self
But here We shall have pitted against each
other two men who all their lives have
been students of business life and business
results. Each has served an apprenticeship
in the trade by which he has risen to emf
nence and independence. Both have been
remarkably successful. Both are hardhead-
ed and longheaded men of affairs. Both
talk well, but without the slightest sugges-
ton Of oratory. Neither would turn to look
at, much less employ. a figure Of speech if
he were to meet it in the road. Both are
thoroughly conversant with the figures Of
trade, and their convictions are founded
upon close study Of trade statistics.
But here the likeness ends, and here be-
gins the promise of instruction for the pub
lie. Mr.. Hanna reads those statistics and
their results in one light, and Mr.. Johnson
In another. The former traces our extraor-
binary growth and prosperity to the policy
OF protective tariff. The latter disputes
that. and urges the adoption of the policy
Of free trade. Mr.. Hanna contends tina,
free trade will kill. Mr.. Johnson contends
that protection hampers perfect develop
ment. So when they meet on the stump
we should hear something worthy of atten-
ton.
But, to repeat let US hope that they will
STICK to the text. Let them be adjured to
talk tariff, and let those who will talk
trusts. The tariff is worthy of their en-
deayors, and the public is eager for all the
light that men of business experience and
practical Information are able to shed upon
the subject.

The President.

The announcement that the President will
be able to participate in tomorrow's cere-
monies is the most welcome of the day. His
preparations to take a full part in the
weeks program were complete when mis-
fortune overlook him. Since then he has
chafed more at the prospect of having to
remain housed during the Grand Army
visit than he has regretted the premature
close of his northwestern tour. The tour
he realized, could be completed next year
The Grand Army's visit to Washington
would be for this week only. Happily for
all, as 1t turns out, the patient has made
such progress that, with care. he may take
his place in the line tomorrow without fear
of untoward consequences to the wound
His reception will of course be enthusiastic
His personal pleasure, we may very we'll
believe, will be of the greatest
