Chicago Philanthropists Join In Scheme to
Aid Poor of Great American Cities.

Chicago millionaires are organiz-
ing to promote a gigantic philan-
thropiC work, no less than the col
onization of the slum population
of the great American cities upon
farms
The field and Workshop Society
is the corporation which has been
formed to work out the details.
+. T. Rosenthal, who is responsible
for the Industrial Art League, has
been its principal sponsor and
creator The organization will be
national Fifty thousand dollars
will be spent in organizing. When
societies are organized in all the
cities, delegates will meet in con-
vention and elect trustees to con-
duct the business of the society.
The embryonic organization in
Chicago consists of an advisory
board of 100 members. Its officers
are: John Lambert, president;
Medill Mccormick, vice president;
George Dixin, financial secretary.
Many prominent women figure on
the advisory board.
The first move of the new soci-
ETY. will be to get land from the
United States Government That
is the crux of the scheme. The
land, under the operation of the
homestead act, can be secured at
nominal price by settlers remain
ing on it for a brief term of years.
Having the land, the society will
make selection from families of
the slums, and move such as give
promise of success from the CON
gested districts to new settlements.
The society will locate the families
on the land, expecting the rail
ways to give them free transporta-
ton. The society will take care
of the settlers until they support
themselves, and as the lands be-
come productive, yearly payments
by the settlers to the society will
be expected until full settlement
is made.
The scheme is to be financed by
the issuance of bonds against the
lands, secured by settlement,
Millionaires are expected to take
the bonds in $4,000 lots. The
project does not differ in purpose
from what other societies have
attempted The difference is one
of scope.

IRRIGATION IN THE WEST
Government Will Appropriate Money as for
Other Internal improvements.

1t is not too much to expect
that ultimately the government
will be induced to appropriate
money for irrigation work just as
it does for other internal improve
ments, with the difference, of
course, that the benehCiaries of ir-
rigation will return all such appro-
priations to the treasury. 1t will
be easier to interest the people i'll
irrigation in the form of some gi-
gantic engineering undertaking
envolving the eXpendatute OF an
immense sum of money than to in
terest them in similar projects re-
quiring comparatively small
amounts of money to realize them.
1t will appeal to the imagination
of the people when they are called
upon to loan, say, S5o,ooo,ooo to
an irrigation project that will en-
ploy 10000 men for a number of
years, in reclaiming say 100000
acres. That many acres would
mean $4,000 farms and a popula-
ton on the land or dependent on
it of Approximately 10000 people.
With the national government un
dertaking several works of such
magnitude at once, the people
would be impressed with the re-
suits and would actually become
even more enthusiastic i'll favor of
irrigation than they are now.
Irrigation means a second West.
The first West with its opportuni-
ties has, comparatively speaking,
been exhausted. Irrigation on
colossal scale would give us sec
ond West, with opportunities
even greater than those of the
first West.-Opportunity.

WHOM SHALL WE HIREY
An Untried Man, or One who Has Made
Good Record.

An Untried Man, or One Who Has Made
Good Record.
The good results of the affairs of q
nation depend almost absolutely upon
its relations with other nations. There
is, under the present condition OF
thought and affairs, an advancement in
the world-a community of nations
The one among those nations which ex-
hibits the greatest honesty and tact
and common sense, is the nation which
will be to the fore.
Under the administration of the par
ty that is now controlling the affairs
of the United States has occurred such
extraordinary diplomatic success as
has perhaps never been excelled by
any nation at any time. This success
has accrued because of the tact and
sense of the present president of the
United States, assisted by his secretary
of state. The record has been some
thing extraordinary, and all the civil
lied world has recognized it.
Tact and sense are just as much a
requisite in the conduct of the affairs
of a nation as they are in the affairs
of corporation or an individual. We
reward those who exhibit tact and
sense by continuing them In place, for
our own benefit. The conclusion need
hardly be expressed. Any American
citizen of intelligence will know whom
to vote for this fall.

SLY OLD DAVID
HEH fu
Unique Position Now Occupied by Judge
Parker's Manager.


Parker's Manager.
1t is not often that political leader
finds it necessary to promise his party
associates that he will keep out of Of
Zee and be unrepresented in the coun-
ellis of his friends in case OF the success
of his own nominee. This unique per-
formance has been exemplified by the
Mephistopheles of the Democratic
party, David Bennett Hill.
The effect is rather grotesque. 1t is
much as IL the king of nursery rhyme
were to declare that he would not, In
any case, taste of the pie, after the
four and twenty blackbirds had been
caught, plucked and baked In a big
Ash of pastry. The reception given
% the promise Of Mephistopheles to
Ne good after the first of next jan
gary" is rather comical. The more out
kSoken Of the Democrats say plainly,
~Rshaw! l don't believe itv' while the
&pre secretive ones simply ''wink the
ether eye" with a grimace that would
vzake the fortune of the man that
broke the bank Mt Monte Carlo"
It IL sly old David, so 1t is! Well he
Knows how to draw the ass's skin

tgaying will hide from the faithful few
his real nature, while the gullible
saany, he imagines, will joyfully count
Gpon his meekly retiring into private
Rfe as soon as he has seen his party
triumphant in the fall elections.
1t Is grotesque position. that Of the
Wolfert's Rcost politician. To gain
his ends he promises to keep out of all
participation in the results he is work
Sng for. 1t must have been at some
cost of self-yespect that this sop was
given to the more respectable wing Of
the New Yosk Democracy, men who
will not tegiA with Hill, and who do
%ot scrupla 20 say so.
But with those at whom the shot
was ainCd Hills promise will avail
tothing. 4hey know the man. He has
NO frien5s, no: has he any enemies who
kelieve In him, except in whatever he
undertakes. 1t is quite probable that
&c will retire from politics before the
drst OF January, 1905, but 1t will be,
hot by bis own volition, but because OF
the dessat of his party at the polls in
the preceding November.

Observation-Disclosures,
Farmers Ignored by Democrats.

The Democrats of Kansas, in max
ing up their state ticket, have entirely
ignored the farmer. The Republicans
nominated two of the leading farmers
of the state as railroad commissioners.
Seven out of thirteen nominations, In
Guiding governor, on the Democratic
ticket are lawyers, while the Republic
ans only recognized the lawyers in the
nomination of attorney general, judges
of supreme court, and one member of
the railroad commission. The policy
of ignoring the farmer, which the
Democratic national committee is re-
ported to have announced, is carried
out with vengeance by the Demo
Gratis of Kansas.

When the great iron and steel in
dustry of the United States thrives,
other American industries thrive. The
Democratic party could not legislate
to destroy the protection to the iron
and steel industry without legislating
to destroy the prosperity of the United
States. The millions of additional
profit and wages that have come to the
iron and steel industry under Repub-
lican rule would have been earned, if
at all, by foreign nations, had Demo
cratic policies prevailed during the last
eight years The gigantic rise of this
industry during the last eight years
added enormously to the wealth OF
the United States, and every branch or
American industry and agriculture mas
been stimulated by 1t. Prosperity at
home and prestige abroad has indeed
been intimately connected with the in
rreasing Imperialism of steel, which
once was Pauper but now is King.

Senator Stewart of Nevada, the last
of the Silverites, has seen the great
white light. His visions are those of
Joseph and the seven fat years. His
talk is of minerals and Nevada, and
the blessings of the Dingley tariff on
bOraX and wool. He said:
president Roosevelt Is very popular
in the mountain states of the west.
Through his influence the irrigation
law was passed. The Dingley tariff is
a great blessing to the far west The
tariff on lead, borax wool and hides is
especially beneficial to the interior
mountain states. The people of Ne
vada are beginning to realize that the
silver question has been relocated to
the rear as result of the enormous
output of gold during the last eight
years. Those voters who left the par
ty on account of the silver issue are
returning and, with the Democrats who
desire practical good, are uniting In
support of the administration. My in
formation is that Nevada will go Re
