President Roosevelts letter to

grounds Of applause" II ought to

ly signed the national irrigation
act Of 1902, but he did more than
any other one man toward getting
1t through Congress. His words.
In his first annual message, that
OF 1901. urging irrigation, gave
encouragement and direction to
that policy's advocates, and Sc.
cured for II a majority OF each
branch Of Congress.
The irrigation Lac OF 1902 con-
tributed very materially to the
immense majority which Roose-
Welt received In the West In 1904.
The clean sweep OF the states
ives, OF the Mississippi, except
Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana.
was the Vests response to the
Republicans Irrigation act.
Strictly speaking. there was no
politics in irrigation. Men OF both
parties voted for IL. But II was a
Rcpublican who gave the irrigs-
tion movement the momentum
which sent the bill to enactment.
A Republican President signed IL.
II was put in operation by a Re-
publican administration. Hun
dreds Of thousands OF votes for the
Republican party in the pgesiden-
tial election last year was made
by IL.
y Republican Congress and
President enacted the free homes
law Of 1852. 4 Republican Con-
gress and President put the ma
tional irrigation act OF 1902 on the
statute book. The irrigation law
fitly supplemented the free homes
act. The Law which Lincoln sign

Lees Punishment.

lions OF the Jurors In the Farris
case to bring ln a verdict accord
ing to their convictions, regardless
OF the mercy shown the chief wit
ness for the state, who had con-
fcssrd to sharing Doodle Of the
baking powder trust, there seems
TO be some mi,conception as to the
scope OF Lees 'lmmunlty," re-
marks an exchange. II Is true tn at
Lee escaped imprisonment by
turning states evidence. but OF all
men punished for legislative cor
ruption In Missouri, Lee has prob
ably suffered most. He has re-
moved all doubt OF his guilt, and,
therefore, all cause for considera-
tion. by iull confession. lie has
been made to feel the disgrace OF
his crime. He has sacrificed the
distinction ana honor and position
that he enjoyed rs a man and as a
high ohicial. And In addition TO

criminal must suffer. John A. Lee
has been made to endure the con.
tempt that falls upo the informer.

QUARLEs' DIVORCE BILL.

Senator Quarles has introduced in
the United States senate bill that
deserves careful and speedy atten-
ton. 1t provides for the collection
Of statistics relating to marriage and
divorce. 1t is in line with the sug-
gestion contained in the special mes.
sage submitted to congress a few days
ago by President Roosevelt. 1t de.
serves general support and, when
passed, should be acted upon by the
census bureau without delay.
The divorce evil has grown to ire
mendous proportions in America dur.
ing the last few years, and it is not
difficult to see the outcome if 1t is
not checked Several of the states
realize this fact and are preparing
laws which aim at averting the evils
which are threatened by the increase
in divorces. The family is the basis,
the unit-economic, social and political
of the present day civilization, and
when it's strength is undermined or
even threatened the result is bad. Any
thing that tends to eliminate the evils
of divorce, therefore, should be vel
coined and given every assistance and
impetus possible.
