Father of National Irrigation.
Under the caption. Roosevelt Is It,"
the Garland Guard, published at Gar
land. Big Horn County, Wyoming, among
other things says:
although AR. Mondell. Senator War
rem and Senator Newlands and others de-
serve credit for what they did in CON-
gress, all their efforts in behalf of the
National Irrigation Act would hav
failed had it not been for the fact that
President Roosevelt championed legisla-
ton of this kind for the benefit of the
arid region. He recommended in his
first message to Congress the enactment
of such a law, and it was his irdorse-
ment more than anything else which Sc.
cured approval for it among the Sen
ators and Representatives from the East.
What chance can any Democrat think
this measure would have had if Mr..
Cleveland, instead Of President Roose-
welt, had been in the White House ut
the time it was pending in Congress? Ii
was Mr.. Cleveland who spoke of some
of the Far Western States as undesirable
communities, and it is well known that
with this part of the country he had M
sympathy. 1t was the influence of Pres
ident Roosevelt, who lived in the West
and knew it's needs, that secured a ia
vorable hearing for the proposition and
reSultcd at last in the passage OF the bill
under which national reclamation work
is now progressing. Therefore President
Roosevelt is the father of the National
Irrigation Law"
lrrigation's Part in Civilization.
III some parts of the country politi-
clans have stated to the people that the
question of irrigation is comparatively
new. This statement is wholly untrue.
Irrigation is as old as the human race.
Agriculture is the most ancient art OF
which we have any record. 1t was the
beginning of civilization. The first agri-
culture was accomplished through irriga-
ton. 1t was commenced, according to
scientists who have sought the records
of primitive man, under conditions Of
great aridity, and the civilized cities Of
the ancieuts were either on the edge of,
or in, the desert. The earliest c~iviliza-
ton of America has indelibly stamped
it's impress on Arizona and New Next
co, where to-day are to be found the
remains of the cities and great irrigation
works which fiourished thousands Of
years before Columbus discovered Amer
lea. Almost all the ancient civilizations
which history records were based upon
irrigation, and irrigation is to-day prac-
ticed by more han half the people in the
world. Under the workings of the Ma
tional Irrigation Act it is estimated that
what is now the arid West can be made
to support $4,000, 900 of people.

WAS DEMOCRACY INSANE ?
If So, Bryan Was a Lunatic, According
to Mr.. Cleveland.

Democracy has returned to sanity"
said Grover Cleveland recently, in an in
terview.
This statement, made with all the SOL
emn ponderosity of which Mr.. Cleveland
Is capable, would imply that the Demo-
cratic party has been insane and its lead
ers n set of %lunatics. In previous inter
views MIR. Cleveland contented himself
with merely saying that Democracy had
strayed from the right path after
strange gods" when it embraced Bryan
ism, but since the defeat Of the Bryan
faction at st. Louis he has been secretly
rejoicing over the apparent downfall OF
his most bitter political enemy, and on
Oct. 2, at Buzzard's Bay, he virtually
declared that Mr.. Bryan was a mailman.
How do the friends OF Mr.. Bryan in
Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska and other
States relish having their leader called
a lunatic? Insanity is lunacy, or mad
ness, and if the Democratic party has
returned to sanity" it must first have
been insane, and, by the same reasoning,
if the party was insane because Bryan
was its leader, Mr.. Bryan himself must
have been the chief lun0tic.
Candidate Parker is generally admitted
to be a nonentity in his party-a tool of
Hill, Sheehan and others-and what he
says counts for little, but it is different
when Mr.. Cleveland talks. He is the
oracle Of the Eastern Democracy, and
if he says Bryan is insane it is certain
he voices the sentiments of sane" Dem
ocracy.
How can the Bryanites indorse such a
SANDER on their leader by supporting
Parker? Mr.. Cleveland declined to vote
for Bryan on the ground that the Ne
braskan was insane. but he will vote for
Parker, because he leads the sane"
Democracy ticket.
An important point seems to have been
forgotten by Mr.. Cleveland. Parker vot-
ed twice for the Nebraska ''lunatic" and
was therefore one Of the host OF madmen
who composed insane" Democracy. Does
Mr.. Cleveland improve his position by
now supporting one of the madmen who
voted for the leader of insane" Dem
ocracyi
Mr.. Cleveland's thrust at Bryan was
uncalled for. and will, no doubt, be re-
scented at the polls. for the friends of Mr..
Bryan do not think he should be put
in the straitjacket class.

DEMOCRATS WITH THE TRUSTS.
The Showing Made When n Vote Was
Taken in the House.

The present laws which place whole
some restrictions on the trusts were put
on the statutes by the Republican party
and not by the Democratic party. Loud
ly as the Democrats have always talked
against the trusts, and seriously as they
have from time to time awakened appre-
hension in all business circles Jay their
threats that they would destroy large
corporations whether good or bad, yet
never once have the Democrats accom-.
plished or even aided in the accomplish
ment of any salutary effort to control
the trusts along lines of public safety.
The rulings of the Supreme Court hav.
ing shown that as the constitution now
stands, Congress can only regulate trusts
engaged in interstate commerce. the fol-
lowing amendment was introduced in
the House of Representatives and press.
ed to a vote on June 1, 1900:
Section J.. All powers conferred by this
article shall extend to the several Ste tes,
the territories. the District OF Columbia,
and all territory under the sovereignty and
subject to the jurisdiction OF the United
States.
Section .. Congress shall nave power
TO dehne regulate, control. prohibit, or dis
solve trusts. monopoiics or combinations,
whether existing in the form of n conlbina-
ton or otherwise. The several States may
continue to exercise such power in any man
ner not in conflict with the laws Of the
United States.
Section 3. Congress shall have power to
enforce the provisions Of this article by
appropriate legislation.
The clause saving all rights of States
was inserted in the lhope-ef inducing
State-rights Democrats to support the
amendment. Nevertheless, the vote stood
14S Republicans for and $50 Democrats
against. and the measure failed of the
necessary two-thirds majority.
LOUDLY AS THE DEMOCRATS
TALKED. WHEN IT CAME TO A
VOTE THEY WE'RE FOR THE
TRUSTS, NOT AGAINST THEM.

Ex-President CleveIand,s Failure.

Ex-President Cleveland is an unimag-
NATIVE man. and for this, and other good
reasons, his recent magazine article en-
titled why a Young Man Should Vote
the Democratic Ticket" is short, point
less and ~unconvincing.
1t takes a good deal Of fervid fancy,
and a knack for invention, TO construct
an argument upon a theme like that. Mr..
Cleveland was evidently i'll at ease with
his subject. Probably few young men
will read the article, anyway, and no one
will be influenced by it.
The young men Of America live in the
present, and hope for the future. They
do not care to be even holding post
mortems on dead issues, nor to spend
their days holding back the wheels OF ac-
ton and progress.
The young men OF the United States
are alive. And they will vote the Repub-
lican ticket this fall.

Robbery of rlr. and rlrs. David Gates.
The Los Angeles Times contains an
extended account of the robbery Of
Mr.. and Mrs. David Gates at their
home in Compton, CAL, Wednesday
night, Jan. 6. Early in the evening, be-
fore the moon was up, two robbers
forced their way through the door just
after Mr.. and Mrs. Gates had gone to
bed. One of them violently fettered
the aged couple while the other forced
the lock of a trunk and took $500 in
gold and also took wallet containing
$45 from Mr.. Gates trousers. The rob-
bers were evidently familiar with the
premises. The victims outcries were
silenced by threats of killing them. AS
soon as the robbers left, Mrs. Gates
alarmed the neighborhood as quickly
as possible but no clue was found. All
the money the aged couple had was
in the cash taken. They have been
living on the ranch since they moved
to California from Austin sixteen years
ago. He is 80 years old and she "
years. Their many acquaintances here
will be sorry to learn of their misfor-
