friends for the bill, which would have
been defeated but for his efforts.
Without belittling the work of Sen
ator Newlands, of Nevada, in behalf
of irrigation it is only fair to say that
the bill he drafted was defective and
the bill that passed contained what
was good from a number of bills pre-.
scented after due consideration by the
conference committees. One serious
objection to the Newlands bill was
that it expressly provided for the sale
Of water for land in private owner
ship, and it did not require the own.
er to be a resident of the state even.
In other words, the Newlands bill, by
some oversight, failed to protect
against nonresident spectators,
through friends and relatives, monop
olizing practically the entire benefits
to be derived from the government ex
penditure. The bill as passed express
ly forbids the sale of water for land
in private ownership unless such
owner be an actual bona fide resident
of said land or occupant thereof re-
siding in the neighborhood OF said
land" and in no such case can water
be sold for more than 100 acres TO
any one person. Under the bill as
passed, spectators owning large
tracts of land cannot divide their hold
ings among nonresident friends and
have it re-conveyed after the title TO
water has been acquired.
Surely such an omission to protect
settlers looks suspicious. But Presi'
dent Roosevelt gave all bills close
scrutiny and would not permit the IN.
terest of the people of the west TO be
thus jeopardized. He declared that
private ownership of water apart
from land, cannot prevail without
causing enduring wrong AT the
present time one VIM. E. Smythe is
travelling over the west delivering
Democratic speeches in which he tries
to make out that his party is entitled
to the chief credit Tor the irrigation
law, when it vas passed by a Repub-
lican congress and signed by a Repub-
lican president. He now attempts To
rob Theodore Roosevelt of the credit
which he was at one time so anxious
10 accord him. Writing of President
Roosevelt's visit to the west last year
tins same Sn.ytte cast his partisan
bias aside and exclaimed:
WELCOME, THEODORE RooSE

The Democratic party, as usual, is
carrying on a campaign Of fault-finding
with what Republicans are doing for
the benefit of the country, without Of
fering a policy or even one construct
i've idea. 1t opposed and villified Alb
raham Lincoln every hour that he oc-
cupied the presidential chair, and now
attempts TO sing his praise. The
party finds fault with the Republican
policy toward the Philippine islands.
In ten years from now Democratic
statesmen as well as its press will be
candid enough to say that no other
course was left open If they do not
even attempt TO claim all the credit
for what has been done to rescue a
people from savagry or the greed and
spoilation of ambitious foreign pow
ers. Just now they are considering
the value of these islands to the Unit
ed States, taking the narrow view OF
one of dollars and cents-purely mer'
cinary. Even from that stand the
wealth and revenue from the islands
will surprise the world in another dec
AIDE. However, the Republican ad.
ministrations have pursued and will
continue to pursue the course marked
out by duty and high national obliga'
ton as a result of the islands falling
into u hands. A thousand school
teachers sent there to educate the
young. gives some idea of the policy
of this country and work along these
lines will continue until the people are
fit to govern themselves.
