Nothing could be more unwise than for
isolated communities to continue to learn

Make Good American Citizens.
"Our aim should be not simply to
reclaim the largest area of land and
provide homes for the largest number of
people, but to create for this new in
dustry the best possible social and in
dustrial conditions; and this requires
that we not only understand the exist
ing situation. but avail ourselves of the
best experience of the time in the solu-
ton of its problems. A careful study
should be made, both by the nation and
the States, of the irrigation laws and
conditions here and abroad. Ultimately
II will probably be necessary for the ma
ton to cooperate with the several arid
States in proportion as these States by
their legislation aud administration show
thmeslves fit to receive it."

Why did Judge Parker forget to send

about the tariff? He must have known
that the same platform which failed to
mention the money question did not fail
to declare that the Democratic party be-
leved protection is the robbery OF the

Parker believe protection is robbery? II
he does not. why did he not telegraph
his views to the St Louis conyentionl
If he does believe that protection is rob

votes of the great mass of the working
men Of the United States? Would Judge
Parker, if elected President, veto a FREQ
trade bill il passed by Democratic Con-
gress? He sent no telegram about the
tariff, aud therefore it is a fair infer

when he sent his gold standard tele-

that the Democratic party, including Of

tariff limited to the needs of the govern

were unanimous in their declaration for

speech OF acceptance, fail TO allude to
the labor element at all? Why has he

Tho Honorable Missourian's Throat
Cutting Threat.

Tho Honorable Missourian's Throat
Cutting Threat.
The Honorable Champ Clark is al
ready adding to the gayety of nations
by the scintillations of his razor-bacE
wit. He promises to introduce into the
fall campaign a new species of spec
tacular exercises combining pleasure with
usefulness.
Heretofore the efforts Of oratory have
been accompanied by stirring music, en-
livening pictures. and sometimes "a
grand display of fireworks in the even.
ing" such as Koko promised Nanki-Poc
should celebrate his youthful hearers
execution.
"You won't see EN-" adds Koko, re-
ferrng to the fireworks. but they'll be
there,"
Some such thought occurs to the in
nocent bystanders in connection with the
Honorable Champs invitation to an au-
ditor who raised the question of the
Honorable Champs truthfulness when
dealing with public affairs in his recent
speech at New Albany. Indiana.
IF you will meet me after my speech
is over" beloved the Honorable Champ,

or was it, I'm cut out your hearth
Some such words of wisdom and earn

champing-or champion. Missourian.
1t is a great idea. this. of setting up

icating speech of the Democratic spell
binder has done its work upon the hearts.
brains and nerves of an audience. 1t
offers new field of industry, for the
honest toiler whose costume consists of
a red shirt. pair of jeans and bowie
knife.
For all the speakers will not be ready,
like the Honorable Champ. to do their
own slashing and cutting, but such ora
tors can be furnished with the neces-
sary functionary, heavily armed, and so
be ready to hurl bloodthirsty threats at
whoever among their auditors so far for
gets himself as TO comment unfavorably
upon any of the speakers statements or
opinions. We may expect to see among
Democratic announcements, some such

Fir.t to Mention Irrigation.

One of the first acts OF President
Roosevelt was to send for the men who
had been working for national irriga-
ton. He discussed the conditions with
them and told them OF his belief in action
by the national government. and his in
tention to make irrigation one of the
topics of his first message to Congress.
No President Of the United States had
ever mentioned irrigation In . message

THE PROTe GIVE POLICY.
1t Makes Good Times, Good Wages and
Good Citizens.

An uDanswerable argument in favor
of protection is that it maintains a stand
ard of high wages for American work
men. An American producer cannot
compete with an English producer unless
he can get his labor at the same wages
that are paid in England, or is in some
way protected against low-wage compe-
tition. No true American wants to see
the British standard OF wages introduce
ed In this country The security and
tranquility of the country in time Of
peace and its honor and safety in time
OF war depend upon the maintenance OF
such a standard of wages as will make
the workingman feel that he has a stake
In the country. When you put hope out
of his heart: when he sees no promise
OF improved conditions for his children
when he sees that his wages mean mere
II daily sustenance, as Is the case In
most European countries, he Is not apt
to have that interest in his country that
comes from wage scale that enables
him to feel that he has a chance to get
on In the world and give his children
better chance In life than he has had
himself The Republican policy of pro-
lection makes good times. good wages
and good citizens. The Democratic
policy Of free trade creates the reverse.
Shoshone journal. [volume] (Shoshone, Idaho) 1884-1931, 1904-09-02

1t must seem a little awkward for the
Democrats to ask for power. not on their
own record, but on the strength Of the
Republican pArty's record.
