THE IRRIGATION FUND.

A Washington correspondent has
called attention to an effort that is
to be made at the approaching session
of congress to open up way for a
grand divide" of the great irrigation
fund, which now amounts to more
than s23,OoO,OOO.
which should be sacredly disbursed in
the interests of the people at large it
is this irrigation fund. 1t was only
through broad patriotism, through de-
votion to the country as a whole, that
the east and the humid regions gener-
ally, consented to the undertake
ing of irrigation work by the
federal government on the plan
contemplated. The money, which is de-
rived from the sale of public lands,
and which is now in large part turned
into this irrigation fund, was hereto
fore applied on general improvement
expenses SO that other sections of
the country derived as much benefit
from it as those sections of the coun-
try in which the lands sold were To-
Gated. The east, however, consented to
this irrigation scheme because it was
convinced that the vast sums to be
devoted to irrigation would be expend-
ed wisely, with scrupulous honesty.
and for the benefit of the country as a
whole. It ,.rt
Now, however, it appears that rep
resentatives of certain states in which
public lands sold for the beenfit of the
irrigation fund are located, are going
TO demand that the money derived
from the sale of those lands be expend-
ed for irrigation purposes within the
boundaries of those states, regardless
of whether the conditions are favor
able for successful irrigation enter
prises, or whether irrigation is needed
and adapted to the country. This is
purely politicians DEAL The peo-
pie as individuals have no interest in

Gamblers and others who engage in

Gamblers and others who engage in
business that degrades.
Contractors. capitalists. bankers
and others who can make money by
getting franchises and other property
of the community cheaper by bribery
than by paying the community.
Politicians who are willing to seek
and accept Office with the aid and
endorsement of the classes already
mentioned.
These three classes combine and
get control of the party machine. They
nominate and elect men who will agree
to help them rob the city or state for
the benefit of themselves and who will
agree also not to enforce the laws in,
regard to the various businesses that
degrade a community.
I'VE find under various modifica-
tions this criminal oligarchy in con-
troll of many communities in the Unit
ed States. We find representatives of
this combination in the United States
senate, among governors Of states,
state legislators, mayors, aldermen,
police officials. We find them among
men in business life-captains of in
dustry, bankers, street railway mag
mates. In short, wherever franchises
or contracts of any kind are to be Sc
cured from a community, we find lead
ing citizens in the ring to rob their
tons bribing lawmakers, lawyers for
pay helping their clients to bride safe
ly, jurors refusing to render just ver-
diets.
These men-bribers of voters and
voters who are bribed, bribers of alder
men and legislators and aldermen and
legislators who are bribed, men who
secure control Of law-making bodies
and have laws passed that enable them
to steal from their neighbors, men who
have laws non-enforced and break
laws regulating gambling houses and,
in short, all men who pervert and be-
foul the sources of law-these men
we have called the enemies of the Re-
public.
They are worse-they are enemies
Of the human race. They are destroy
ers of a people. They are, enemies Of
civilization.
The institutions of a self-govern-
ing people rise no higher than the peo-
pie. When officials are bribed by an
asphalt company, or school-book COM
pany. or street railway company, Or
baking powder company or steam
roller company, they suffer serious
moral deterioration that renders them
less honest and less fit to prevent
crimes which they themselves might
still deplore.
1T is easy to generalize and to turn
your back and say, I am an optimist
or After all this is the best country
in the world A man is not necessar-
lily an optimist who, if his house is on
fire, refuses to look, and says. am an
optimist; I don't believe it is on fire

bidder, like the Roman empire of old.
I'VE want to tax the railroads Of
Wisconsin the same as any other prop
erty, and we want to establish a rail-
road freight commission in this state
with power to fix railroad freights so
that those rates cannot be raised
above a reasonable figure when rail-
way taxation is raised. by fixing it on
the same standard as that of other
property throughout the state

it, nothing to gain by it. but it af-
fords politicians chance to make
great pretense of looking after local
interests and to manufacture political
capital for themselves.
If it is allowed to succeed it will
doubtless mean the failure of the
whole irrigation scheme. In the first
place, the humid regions. which have
surrendered their interest in this pub
lie money and of sympathy for the
irrigation work, will not consent to the
expenditure of the money in any un-
scientific and indefensible manner.
They are more likely to demand aban-
donment of the whole business It
will also mean the withholding of the
funds from projects which require
large sums of money, but which pro-
vide for the irrigation of extensive
tracts of land.
This political grab is an unpatriotic.
selfish and narrow policy and threat
ems the failure of the whole grand
scheme of irrigation which promises
SO much for the development of the
west. 1t will be amazing, indeed, if
the promoters of the proposed change
in the method of administering the ir-
rigation fund meet with any encourage
ment in any quarter.

ENEMIES OF THE REPUBLIC.


Henry Van Dyke has twenty-cen
a word article in the December
Everybody's in which he discusses the
question, rs the World Growing Bet
ter?" After presenting both sides of
the question the writer makes what
he calls a guess that the world is
growing better. He cites in proof the
better treatment of women, the mil
lions given for charitable and educa-
tional purposes, the work of the
churches and the public schools.
Jacob Riis, who lectured in this city
Monday night on THE Battle With
the Slu1ns of New York. is an opti-
mist. Be believes that the world is
growing better and he certainly gives
substantial proof of it in showing the
miraculous change for the better in
the tenement districts of New York
City. Darkness, filth, foul air. vice,
crime andS misery have. given way to
sunshine, cleanliness, pure air, virtue,
good orderss happiness and prosperity.
But a less hopeful view is taken by
S. S. Mcclure in the Christmas num-
Der Of his magazine. He cites figures
to prove that during the last year
there were six times as many homi-
cides in Chicago as in London and
eight times as many as in Paris He
shows that While in 1881 thesfratio of
murders, and homicides to population
in this country was one to 40,534 in
habitants, in 1902 it was one to 1856
inhabitants. The writer refutes the
theory that this increase in crime is
due to the influx of foreigners. 1t is
shown that the ratio of crimes to pop
ulation in European countries is far
less than in the United States
Mr.. Mcclure says he was led to con-
slider the prevalence of crime in this
country by the revelations made by
Lincoln Steffens, Ida Tarbell and 9TH
ers regarding the system by which
the American people are governed. He
says:
1T seemed to me incredible that
legislators, mayors, aldermen, police
men-even justices of the peace and
sometimes police judges-selected by
the methods described by Mr.. Stef-
fens, could fully protect life and
property.
Governments are established and
maintained chiefly for the purpose of
protecting life and property.
is 1t possible for officials to pre-
Vent ordinary crimes who are selected
and elected generally for reasons other
than special fitness for their tasks.
and frequently for the definite pur-
pose OF robbing the people who elect
them?
can body of policemen engaged
IN olacknfail. persecution and in shield
ing lawbreakers make community
law-abiding? Can a body of. police
men engaged in criminal practices
prevent others from committing
crimes? Can board of aldermen
VINO for private gain combine to loot
"a city govern a city we'll?

three classes:
