closed the fact that the brick dirt on

Crawling Out.

Now we begin to see why Mr.. Dunn
declined to put his charges against
Judge Collins in writing. A st. Paul
apologist for Mr.. Dunn now makes the
defense that he didn't say it after all.
He never charged Judge Collins with
asking Mr.. Hill for money, or with
taking any himself.
Mr.. Dunn made the deliberate state
ment in a public speech, and refused
Judge Collins request to put it in
black and white, saying that he could
find out from the newspapers. Judge
Collins did SO, and found Mr.. Dunn
quoted as saying:
7 make this statement calmly and de-
liberately. In 1894. when candidate for
reelection to the supreme bench, Judge
Collins solicited and secured the support
Of James J. Hill to the extent of con-
tribution Of from 100000 to $4,000 to his
campaign fund.

newspapers, while the others made
the statement less definitely. MOI

of melancholy verse. But he did.
When he was student at the Massa-

to who could write the most mournful

that this must be printed. To effect this.

Alfonso Of Spain.

After teaching Spain some things
which she very much needed to learn,
and depriving her Of some of her
troublesome and lily discharged re-
sponsibilities by taking possession of.
her colonies, the people of the United
States have come to entertain a, very
| friendly feeling for Spain, which is in
a measure reciprocated by the people
Of Espana. We generally regard
kindly, those to whom we do a favor
and the government of the United
States certainly did a favor to Spain
| when it relieved her of her colonies.
Spain is better off without them.
With friendly relations re-estab-
1ished it is gratifying to note the i'm
proved conditions in Spain, particu-
larly the improved political condi-
lions.
1t is just two years since Don AL
fonse, the youthful king, came into
4 possession Of his full powers as a
monarch at the age Of 16. Not much
was expected of him. He was regard
ed as wilful boy, feeble physically,
and not remarkably strong mentally.
The Carlisles were hopeful that their
opportunity had come, and the an
archists, by whom Spain Is cursed
were apparently only watching their
opportunity. Alfonso has not been
content to be merely a fgurehead but
has entered upon the business Of being
a king with earnestness and a zeal for
the welfare Of his people which first
, aor cd o., fI,r Il; ,,
frank, manly democratic manners has
at last won their love and confidence.
The young king is extremely popular.
Those politically disaffected have been
won over in large part by his evident
I good disposition, and even the an
archists, who have on two occasions
made hostile demonstrations, are said
to have directed their attacks more at
his prime minister than at the king
himself. Alfonso is a pretty good
Illustration Of the proposition that a
man in public life who tries to do the
right thing and succeeds fairly well,
will get credit for 1t. The Spanish
king has greatly admired the Emperor
of Germany, and the war lord Of the
north has exhibited a genuine affec-
ton for Alfonso. The result Of this
has been to displace the French inf1u-
! ence with German friendship. It does
not appear that any formal agree
/ ments have been made. but Berlin In

A, Great Work Begun.

Now that s21,000,o0o of the federal
governments irrigation fund have
been set aside for certain specified
projects, it may be said that, what is
likely to prove to be the greatest in
ternal Improvement work ever UNDER
taken by the government Of the United
States Is we'll started. 1t is difficult
to appreciate the ultimate meaning of
these great works. Many Of the
greatest civilizations Of the past have
.fourished in arid countries, redeemed
from the desert by the artificial APP
plication Of water. The highest state
OF civilization reached by the aborig-
ines Of America was among those who
practiced irrigation. Already in our
own time, the richest agricultural re-
gions in this country are those where
irrigation is necessary and where the
desert comes back to claim what 1t
once held when the water no longer
flows.
In most Of the arid and semiarid
portion, Of the United States nature
atones for the. lack Of rainfall by CIV
/ ing to. the soil great fertility. 1t is
well known that in years Of extraor-
binary rainfall the semi-arid regions
produce enormous crops. Under rir-
rigation the crops are uniformly large
compared with what can be obtained
in humid regions without irrigation
The fact is that the arid country is
| fertile because it is without much
rain. The fertility has not beer
washed out of the soil by the pound.
ing rains Of countless ages. The re.
suit is that it is left for men to turn
on the water and take from the ari6
regions, in the shape Of vegetation
the fertility that has been lost in the
humid regions. That is why the fer
tflity of the irrigated country seems
inexhaustible. There nature ha!
stored her treasures for man to use
elsewhere they have been largely de
pleted by natural processes.
All Of this. explains why an acre I'M
