A. GARFIELl

JAMES A. GARFIELD eminent, as he
thought, through an attack upon the
head of that government. Garfield was
a sacrifice to his pre-eminent position.
Garfield had served as a soldier in
the cause Of the Union In the civil
war; he had been a member Of Con-
gress Of more than usual power before
his nomination for the presidency; in
Congress he had distinguished himself
as great debater and as a party lead
er. It has been said that he was not
a great party leader, because he could
not go to the extent Of declaring that
it was my party, right or wrong"
that fetish of loyalty that has been
the foundation of so much ubiquitous;
legislation.
James G. Blaine, in comparing Gar
field to the great congressional lead
ers, Clay, Douglas and Thaddeuss
Stevens, said Of him: From these
three great men Garfield differed rad
ically, differed in the qualities of his
mind, in temperament, in the form and
phase Of ambition. He could not DO
what they did, but he could do what
they could not, and in the breadth Of
his congressional work he left that
which will longer exert a potential in
fuence among men, and which, meas
ured by the severe test Of posthumous
criticism, will secure more enduring
and a far more enviable fame

Sanskrit literature, as Sir II. Arthur
Blake has found, recognizes the trans
mission Of malaria by mosquitoes. \
passage from the Greek historian Her
odotus is reproduced in a London med
ical journal as further evidence Of the
ancient interest In the insect: "In
the parts of Egypt above the marshes
the Inhabitants pass the night upon
lofty towers, which are of great serv-
ice. as the gnats are unable to fly to
any height on account Of the winds
In the marsh country, where there
are no towers, each man possesses a
net instead BY day it serves him to
catch fish, While at night he spreads
1t over his bed in which he is to rest,
and, creeping in, goes to sleep under
meath"

Some apprehensive party has ex-
pressed the opinion that the Amer
tcan people will outgrow baseball"
and an editor has been thoughuess
enough to print it. Thoughtless, in
considerable; yes, and unpatrtotic. AL
most immoral. How dare an editor
give publicity to an insidious breath
hostile to one Of our basic institutions!
BY all the memories of "one-old-cat"
and town ball." how can man utter
such thing and an editor circulate it?
The American people rise up in the
grand stand, so to speak, and resent
1t with mighty hiss. Life would not
be worth living to the glorious, free
and independent spirit without base
ball. We are nation Of rooters. We
must root or die. Baseball will live
as long as the nation. When the
ghouls get to dancing on the dia-
monds there will be none of US to
witness it. Baseball will be the last
relic to crumble.

Beyond question the most popular
queen of all the reigning families OF
Europe to-day Is Alexandra of Great
Britain. Although Alexandra will be
62 years old Dec. I next she has the
appearance of woman of 80. The
above is late portrait Of this popular
queen. Her graciousness and kindly
interest for her subjects have endear-
ed her to them to almost the same de-
gree as was her illustrious predeces-
sor, Queen Victoria. Queen Alexan-
dra's most prominent characteristic is
her love for children and animals.
Few photographs have been taken Of
her except she was accompanied by a
group Of her children or grandchildren
or one of her pet dogs. Dogs are her
favorites among the members OF the
animal kingdom. She has many diff
ferent breeds of the animals and Is
one Of the most prominent fanciers in
the world Cows and poultry are 9th
ers of the queens favorites and her
Norfolk estate, Sandringham, where
are kept her prize winners, is the ia
vorite of all the handsome homes at
the disposal Of England's popular
queen.

A young woman Of New York was
struck on the nose by foul ball
while attending session Of the ma
tlonal game. She sued the owners Of
the club for $500. Justice McLaugh-
lin Of New York, in trying the case,
rendered a decision unfavorable to the
young woman. He decided that any
one who watches ball game does SO
at his or her own risk. If they are
injured the law gives them no oppor-
tunity to sue for damages. They must
take their chances" OF course! The
finding is in accordance with the true
spirit Of the national game. Born on
the corner prairie" or on the town
lot, or the school playground, baseball
was never a sport for spectators to
loll back in easy seats and watch I'M
der the protection Of the law. Base
ball is baseball The man who at
tends a game, if he go in the proper
spirit Of the true American, takes
nearly as active part in the game as
does player. The spectator and his
activities are a part Of the game. His
gentle roofing" his mild desire for
the blood Of the unfavorable umpire
are hand in hand with the ringing
three-base hit and the daring slide for
the home plate. They all have one
aim-to win for the home team. In
novations and refining influences have
made the game more satisfactory.
Better grounds, ornate grand stands
with wire screen and comfortable
seats have helped to make the viewing
Of a game more pleasurable. The re-
f1nlng influences have reached even to
the men on the diamond. The umpire
now politely removes his cap when he
announces the batteries for the day;
the players refrain from permitting
their opinions Of the umpire's deci-
sions to reach the audience But this
is enough along these lines. For the
refined game as it is now we are
thankful. But who would have >the
game barbered, and manicured, and
rendered tnocuous in a manner to fit it
for the drawing room or the stage?
No. Justice Mclaughlin finds wisely
and we'll. The baseball enthusiast
must take care of himself while
watching his favorite game. That he
is quite able to do this Justice Nc
Laughlin is probably we'll aware, for
that the justice Is himself one Of the
rank and file of the grand army Of
fans"

The principal features Of the Nation
al Irrigation or Reclamation act, as
concisely stated by Congressman u ~
Van Duzer Of Nevada, are as 1olioWs'
First. A reclamation fund In the
treasury, consisting of all moneys re-
ceived from the disposal OF puDnc
lands in sixteen arid and seml-arld
States and territories Qncludlng CAN
fornia and Nevada).
Second Investigation and report as
to irrigation projects by the Interior
Department through the geological sur
vey.
Third. After the approval Of such
projects by the Secretary OF the III
terror construction to commence under
contracts made by him. No contract
to be made unless the money neces-
sary for the completion of the pfoJect
is available in the reclamation tuna.
Fourth. Compensation to the fund
of the actual cost Of each project by
the sale Of water rights, to be made IN
a series Of installments running over
ten years.
Fifth. The holding Of the puDlc
lands for actual settlers under the
homestead act; holdings to be limited
to small areas, sufficient for the sup
port of a family; no communication.
Sixth. Sale of water rights to pri-
vate land holders, but not for more
than 100 acres, thus discouraging land
monopoly and promoting the breaking
up of large tracts.
Seventh. The ultimate control Of IT
rigation works, except reservoirs, by
the settlers under a system of home
rule. This plan will enable the West
to reclaim itself without calling upon
the taxpayers Of the country. 1t en-
tirely relieves the irrigation agitation
Of the charge that it is intended to
tax the East for the improvement of
the West The government simply
puts it's government lands in condition
for settlement by storing and making
available the foodwaters which are
essential for reclamation.

In addition to the government work
on the use Of water in irrigation, which
is being carried on in all the arid or
semi-arid States, the work in Califor-
MIA, according to an official statement,
includes a comprehensive study Of the
whole irrigation situation, looking to
the remedying Of the evils which are
checking development along this line.
The work is under the general super
vision of Elwood Mead, the expert in
charge of irrigation Investigations.
The work being done on the streams
and irrigation systems selected for in
vestigation includes study Of the fol-
lowing:
Abstracts of the records Of claims
to water, character Of those records,
number of claims, total volume claim
ed, places where recorded, and the ease
or difficulty with which the validity Of
any claim can be determined.
2-Rights to water for purposes 9th
er than irrigation, namely, mining,
power and domestic purposes.
3-Methods by which the amount
termined, accessibility and complete
ness Of the record showing the nature
of the established rights.
tCharacter of litigation over water
rights. its causes and cost, its influ-
ence on irrigation development, and
the principles established by decisions
rendered.
5-Rights for storage and under
ground waters, how acquired and how
affected by rights to the surface flow
of streams, and the influence Of the
underground waters on the streams
discharge.
6-Nature Of an appropriation Of
water TO determine who is the appro-
priator, the ditch builder or the owner
Of the land on which the water is used;
or is the land itself the appropriation
Also, to determine the true measure Of
its amount, the size Of the claim, the
capacity of the ditch, or the area irri-
gated.
THE volume of return or seepage
water, and it's availability for being
again diverted, and influence on value
of irrigator's rights.
S-Size, number, location and capac-
ity Of bitches and other distributing
works established, and irrigation duty
Of water.
The work also includes collection of
data showing how water is divided
among different bitches from the same
stream; how 1t Is distributed among
users; the nature Of water-right CON
tracts between canal owners and water
users; what contracts have proven
satisfactory; and what forms Of con
tracts have given rise to controversy,
and the reason therefor. Facts show
ing rates for sale or delivery of water
and the methods by which these rates
have been established will also be
collected.

no doubt much trash is read. But In
matters of taste excellence Is rela-
tive, and we can determine whether
to be optimistic or pessimtstic about
the quality Of popular reading only
by comparing our age with the rest.
Most Of the people who read only bad
or not thoroughly good books CORE
spond to those who, two or three gen.
erations ago, could not or did not read
at all. A society of uncultivated or
half-cultivated literacy Is better than
a society where the people Of good
taste were the only patrons OF the
bookshops, and in which there we're
no public libraries to distribute even
second-rate books to the many. More
over, in the generations when ilteracy
became the rule, there has been no
falling of Of the total public taste In
books. A recent writer who has made
study Of the circulation of books In
the bookshops and in the libraries
finds that there Is an increasing de-
mand for the standard novels in pro
portion to the demand for ephemeral
fiction; that there is more and more
call for biography, travel and books
Of outdoor life; that the popular light
story to-day Is better In ideal and
workmanship than the kind our grand
fathers tolerated; that we read much
good fiction; that we read more fact
than we ever did; that, ION the whole,
there Is a good deal Of health in u.s."

the plans Of Mrs. Charles +. JOY, wife
Of the former st. Louis congressman,
are carried out, a $1,000, 900 university,
Of which the object will be the study
Of occult and psychic phenomena, the
human soul and all the arts and sci
ences Of the "New Thought" not rec
ognized by established schools will be
built overlooking the Pacific ocean
near Santa Barbara. Cal In addition
to the university Mrs Joy proposes TO
establish sociological colony where
the science Of life and the laws, duties
and responsibilities o. parenthood will
be studied.
A site overlooking the ocean near
Santa Barbara, Cal, for the school and
10000 acres in Arizona for the colony
have been offered for the institution.
when the time arrives Mrs JOY says
she does not fear the funds will not
be forthcoming.
"The age Of prejudice and bigotry
Is fast passing away" said Mrs. Joy
last night, "and the world is willing
to be informed on what really Is meri.
