ALTHOUGH Mr. Mondeil. Senator War

serve credit for what they did in Con
gress all their efforts in behalf OF the
National Irrigation Act would have
failed had il 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 law. and it was his indorse-
ment more than anything else which So
cured approval for il among the Sen

Cleveland, instead Of President Rsose-

was Mr.. Cleveland who spoke of some

with this part of the country be had no

Irrigation's Part in Civilization.
In some parts Of the country polio-
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. II was commenced. according to
scientists who have sought the records
Of primitive man. under conditions OF
great aridity. and the civilized cities Of
the ancients were either on the edge Of
or in, the desert. The earliest civiliza
tion of America has indelibly stamped
its impress on Arizona and New heIi-
co. where to-day are to he found the
remains of the cities and great irrigation
works which fourished ihousa nds OF
years before Columbus discovered Amer
ica. Almost all the ancient civilizations
which history records were based upon
irrgn ton. and irrigation is to-day prae-
tced by more than half the people IN the
world. Under the workings of the Ma
tional Irrigation Act IL is estimated that
what is now the arid West can be made
TO support $1,000 900 Of people.

DEMOCRATS WITH THE TRUSTS.
The sho wing Made when . Vote Wac
1aken In the Housc.

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 by their
threats that they would destroy all large
corporations whether good or bad. yet
never once have the Democrats accom-
plished or even aided Ia the accomplish
ment of any salutary effort 70 conusl
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
cd to a vote on June |, 1900:
Section /. All powers conferred By this
article shall extend TO the several StateA
the territories. the District Of Columbia.
and al territory under the soyereigaty and
subject to the jurisdiction of the United
States
Section . Congress shall have power
TO define. regulate, control. prohibit, or dis
solve trusts. monopolles or combinations,
whether existing In the form Of a eoubina.
tion or otherwise. The several States may
continue TO exercise such power in any man
ner not In conflict With the laws Of tb,
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 hope of inducing
State-rishts Democrats 10 support the
amendment. Nevertheless. the vote stood
14s Republicans for and 1870 Democrats
against, and the measure failed of the
necessary twe-thirds ma jority.
LOUDLY AS THE DEMOCRATS
TALKED. WHEN IT CAME TO 4
VOTE THEY WERE FOR THE
TRUSTS. NOT AGAINST THEM.

K1-Pre.iden. Cleveland. Failure.

Ex-President Cleveland is an unima E
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-
II takes a good deal OF fervid fancy.
and a knack for invention. 10 construct
an argument upon theme Ike 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 II.
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 viii vote the Repub-
lcan ticket this fail.
