SECOND TERM QUESTION.
Roo,eveit's Claim to tho Presidsney
Stronger than Any Other Mau'a

-
Ransas City Times, Independently
If President Roosevelt had been elect
ed to- the office he now occupies, Judge
Parker's declaration that, IL chosen Pres
ident, he would not be a candidate for
reelection, might have some special
weight in the present canvass among
those who are believers In the one-term
principle. But President Roosevelt came
iuto Office by accident. He was made
Vice President against his personal
wishes and political judgment. He was
luty bound and he voluntarily pledged
himself TO carry out, so far as possible
the policies of his predecessor. If he
has done well, he is especially entitled
to the votes of the people. Under the
circumstances his claim to the presidency
is stronger than that of any ordinary
candidate could be. for IL he has faith.
fully fulfilled the office to which he was
called by accident. he should be honored
with the same Office by election. His
present incumbency of the presidential
post should at least serve as a reliable
probationary service. 1t is for the peo-
pie to answer to his administration, for
il 1t has been equal to or above the aver.
age, or satisfactory generally. he- has
stronger claims than any other man
could have. for he asks an endorsement,
where another would ask for trust.
And this Is the way the country ls likely
to look at the situation. President Roose-
welt has made himself tremendously
strong with the masses. He has con
vinced the nation of his honesty. courn &c
and capacity. He has pleased vastly
more Democrats than he has offended Re
publcinns. And both the admiration he
l;as aroused on the one hand and the en-.
nifty he has engendered the other are
tributes to his virtue and motives,

Whatever the nation does for the ex-
tension Of irrigation, should harmonize
with and tend to improve the condition Of
those now living on irrigated lands.

those now hving on irrigated lands.
Whoever controls stream practically
controls the land it renders productive.
and the doctrine of private ownership of
water, apart from land, cannot prevail
without causing enduring wrong.
The passage of the National Irriga-
ton Law was one of the greatest steps,
not only in the forward progress of the
States, but to that OF all mankind.
The benefits which have followed un-
aided development in the past, justify
the nations aid and cooperation in the
more difficult and important work yet to
be accomplished.
The larger development which national
aid insures should, however, awaken in
every arid State the determination to
make its irrigation system equal in JUS
tice and effectiveness to that OF any
country in the civilized world. Nothing
could be more unwise than for isolated
communities to continue. to learn every.
thing experimentally. instead OF. profit
ing by what Is known elsewhere.
A careful study should be made, both
Dy the Nation and the States, of the trri-
cation laws and conditions here and else
where.
1t Is as right for the national govern
ment to make the streams and rivers of
the arid region useful by engineering
works for water storage ms to make nse-
full the rivers and harbors of the humid
region by engineering works of another
kind.
In his second message to Congress
December. 1902, President Roosevelt
said: Few subjects of more Importance
have been taken-up by Congress in recent
years than the Inauguration of tie sys-
tenn of nationally aided irrigation Of the
arid regions of the far West. A good
beginning therein has been made.
So far as they are available for agricul-
ture, and to whatever extent they may
be reclaimed under the National Irriga-
tion Law, the remaining public lands
should be held rigidly for the home
builder-the settler who lives on bis land
and no one else"
