will be just as great; that commune
ties cannot, or will not, practice
the systematic economies the indi-
vidual or private corporation does.
The same reasoning will apply
equally to house rental and land
rental. In its last analysis it means
that tenantry is better than owner
ship. The fact in the case is that
the economies practiced by water
corporations are entirely for the
benefit of the corporations. The
beginning and end is to squeeze
out of the users of water every cent
that they cam bear. Originally,
the idea was to gradually increase
the price of water as the lands in
creased in value and productive
ness. That scheme has been tenn
porarily abandoned for one more
plausible which is to gradually re-
duce the quantity of water supplied
to the acre, leaving the price per
acre unchanged. In other words,
the private corporation proposes to
supply the least possible quantity
of water for the greatest possible
price. The purpose and tendency
of the District system is to supply
the greatest possible quantity Of
water at the least possible cost. u
timately the water users themselves
will inaugurate the right kind of
economy by ascertaining through
experience exactly the quantity of
water that will produce the best re
suits in any given case. The idea
will be to get the best that can be
got out of every acre Of land. That
is the real economic principle as ap-
piled to irrigation. To the people
under the Ridenbaugh, we would
say, go ahead and perfect your dis
trict organization and don't be
swerved from it by the melancholy
forebodings of the supporters of a
system which has been a failure
wherever tried. The manage
ment of irrigation canals and the
distribution of water is just as much
a part of the business of farming, in
an arid country, as blowing, sowing
and reaping. Don't divide your
business unless yon want to divide
your profits.

WHAT IS BRUTALITY?

There was a time when the hus-
band had legal and, accordingly,
a moral right to whip his wife with
rod, stick or stake. Nowadays
ifam man under the influence OF liquor
or temper, and one is in nowise
better than the other, should cuff
his wife, be she never SO provoking
and spiteful, he is branded as brute,
and liable to legal prosecution, fine
and Imprisonment.
IF man beat his horse or his
mule, with violence, it arouses the
indignation of humane men and
women who appeal to public officers,
demanding enforcement of the law
against cruelty to animals.
If the jailer of Canyon County
should lay an obstreperous petty
thief over a fence and paddle
him with single, the good people
Of Canyon County would demand
s the instant removal of that officer.
IF the Warden of the State Peni-
tertiary should lay violent hands on
the worst criminal incarcerated, the
whole State would be aroused in
o.aI decentralization
IF, for violation of all the rules in
the Army Regulations, private
soldier in the United States service
should be beaten till black and blue
stripes appeared on his flesh, the
nation would be aroused.
But if little boy or girl mis-
chievously or thoughtlessly COM
mits an infraction of public school
decorum, it is legal, moral, aye,
commendable to beat that child un-
til tits black and blue; there are
those who uphold that kind of bru-
tally, and pretend to think it is
necessary in order to prevent insur-
rection in the public schools. In
law and morals wife beating is pro-
nounced brutal; mule beating in
human; the beating of criminals
malfeasance; the beating of soldiers,
treason. But little children, "for
of such is the kingdom of Heaven, "
are beaten till the blood spurts
from their fingers, and the flesh up
on their bodies is bruised and dis
colored-and it is done in the name
Of education, in the name of NOR.
ais, in the name of Christian grace.
All, if a man will but attend church
and wear a long countenance,
what cruelty may he not commit
with Christian approval? While
little children are at home, sobbing
in pain and humiliation, teachers
may lift their eyes to Heaven ii
witness of the rectitude of theil
souls! Go forth, ye pious ones anc
throw into dungeons those who Ian
contrary mules, but put garland'
upon the brow of those who LAGER
ate the flesh of children.

When the Senate went into executive session
soon after noon Mr.. Quay announced that he
had been triclled in caucus into voting TO ratify
the treaty on the ground that the option on the
Panama Canal Company's property expired on
March !. No sooner however had he tempo
rary yielded the place occupied by the State
hood bill than the newspapers announced that
Attorney General Knox had. by direction of the
President, accepted the proposition Of the Pan
ANA company. subject to the ratification of the
treaty. thus virtually extending the option In
view Of the fact. he declared. that he had been
made the victim Of sharp practice, he proposed

who ; in charge of the treaty, moved that a
recess from IL 2. to IL a. N. be taken, and
the motion carried.
The Republican leaders are indignant at Mr.
Quay's course which they characterize as a di-
rect violation Of his caucus pledge, and express
the belief that his action Will be repudiated by
the Republican advocates of Statehood They
say unanimously, that there Will be no vote on
the Statehood bill, even If the treaty fails or
an extra session of Congress is caused
Senator Morgan talked continuously at the
evening session, and proved so entertaining III
his argument. which he advanced With great
fervor as TO hold the close attention OF MS au-

There can be little OF no doubt as to

easier than cure
All who are subject to this disagreeabe

least two or three weeks before the time
Of their annual attack. Ia this way the
annoying paroxysms Of sneezing, running
at the nose and watery and smarting eyes
can be avoided.
This remarkable discovery makes II
possible for anyone to breathe air at

or other resorts where hay fever sufferers

II, however, Hyomei has not been
used until the disease has begun, it is
necessary TO use it more frequently, at
least half dozen times daily, and Hyo-
mel Balm should be rubbed into the nos
trlls both morning and night. This treat
ment win relieve at once and win effect a
cure In nearly every case.

NEW GAME on kNOckERiNA.

Novel Gambling diversion Started
In Washington.
The men who exist til a certain
boarding house IN Washington have
developed a new gambling game, the
Washington Post says. They call II
''knockerina.9 It is bes4 played when
all the boarders, men and women. are
sitting out Oh the front porch and ON
the lawn during the hours Of daylight
that remain after dinner, although it
can be played at any time when wo-
men not living I'll that particular board
ing house are around OF passing in re-
view in front Of the house.
The method Of "knockerinaD Is as
follows
There is standing idea among all
OF the male borders that no woman
will listen to mems praise of another
woman for her good looks or, for that
matter for any other quality without
getting In some sort Of dab at the
expense Of the praised woman.
So, for example, when ali Of the
boarders are sitting ont iii front of the
house one of the 'knockerinap playing
men, seeing woman coming down the
street, will exclaim:
Pretty girl, that isn't sheT
lie says this SO that all Of the wo-
men can hear the remark.
II BY any possible chance any Of the
women agree with him that the girl
coming down the street really IS pretty
then the man making the remark Is
out a quarter. the other "knocherina9
players matching among themselves to
see which of them shalt receive tile
quarter
If, however and this Is what almost
Invariably happens one of tile women
boarders makes different reply, a

man who has remarked thar the girl
coming down the street was pretty
