Utah, as shown by the foregoing
compilation, is twelfth on the list,
Arizona, Nevada and Kansas following.
Just why this is so we are not able
at this time to explain. We note too
that immense projects are being APP
proved by the government for other
states and territories, Arizona and Cal
ifornia $3.OOO,O00 each, Colorado ST.
500 900 and Montana 81 100000 From
what we can gather we infer that
there has been too much Of the theo-
retical and too little of the practical
in the placing of Utah's matters be-
fore those in authority and we really
think it is high time that such a policy
should be abandoned. Utah, as mat
ter of right, ought to have $1O,OOO,OOO
expended in her borders in the next
ten years, because conditions warrant
it. The chances for reclaiming land
are worth it. The area of land that
would be fertile warrants it, and whe1
everything is summed up there is
plenty of water with which to do it,
Utah has lots of water when every
thing is considered, but her people
are as prodigal in the use of it as
if we had a general shower every
morning before breakfast.

trial, but that a compromise will be
effected
But who would have thought of Old
Man Plat, at his time of life, get
ting mixed up in an action like this?
Mae says some of his letters to her
were of the most roCty-tooty kind and
that had they not been taken from
her by oollusion and fraud she could
have made old T. c. fairly howl when
they were brought into court.
Incidentally it may be mentioned
that Mae has lost her job in the post
office department.

EXPENDED FOR IRRIGATION.

Thirty million dollars has already
been derived from the sale of public
lands in the arid states, the most of
which immense sum is being devoted
to irrigation enterprise. Within the
course of a few years twenty millions
more will be available. Upon looking
over the table of amounts expended
in the various states we are by no
means satisfied with the showing
made by Utah. The list discloses the
following.

STORY OF MAE WOOD.

The story of Mae Wood, the young
woman who has brought a damage
suit against Senator Plat, of New
York, and who charges Robert j.
Wynne, formerly postmaster general;
William Loeb, secretary to the presi-
dent and Martin Miller, consul to
Aix-la- Chappelle with conspiracy in
forcibly and cunningly obtaining from
her the love letters of Plat, bids fair
to make a chapter in the history of
THE easy boss" Of the empire state.
Mae is a good looking damsel, who
began her public career in Omaha as
a stenographer in a law Office. She
was admitted to the bar in Douglas
county. From the metropolis of Ne
braska she went to Washington where
she became, through the influence or
some one, a clerk in one of the de.
partments; the postoffice department.
Who placed her there is not generally
known, although in Omaha, those who
knew Mae say it was Plat. At any
rate Mae will not have any trouble in
proving that the old boy showed her
marked attention; helped her in va
rious ways and was very often seen
with her in public.
When the engagement of Platt and
| Lillian Il. Janeway was made known
Mae had a series of spasms and when
she came out of the last one she
packed her hand satchel and went to
New York, where she created scene,
the details of which have thus far
been kept from the illustrated papers.
But the ceremony was performed just
the same, although Mae made a
touch" on some one when she was
in Gotham, for upon her return to
Washington she registered at swell
hotel with a costly suite of rooms at
her command; ate all sorts of good
things in the cafe; took a flyer to
Bermuda and other tropical climes and
apparently had good time generally
1t is about a month ago now that
Mae returned to Omaha and started a
suit. 1t will be remembered that ser
vice was obtained upon Secretary
Loeb while he and Teddy were bear
shooting in Colorado and that Loeb
said he didn't know a darned thing
about it. She alleges that she was
damaged by Loeb, Wynne and Miller
in the sum of $4,000.
Mae was interviewed in her ole
home by an enterprising reporter fol
a newspaper In her statement she
declared she had never brought sui
against Plat for breach of promise
because she was afraid if she did the
old man would want to marry her
and that would have been "nauseat
ing"
Mae is h own attorney in the case
and althou. it has been said that
lawyer who pleads his own cause ha'
fool for a client, there is probably
good reason for believing that the
girl has something up her sleeve tina
means the action will never come tt

cannot be reached by the most
conscientious efforts of the.
churches.
If we have failed thus far to
show that this work is entitled to
rank in Importance with all those
vital and salutary forces which
underlie civilization, which give
it it's forward impulses and which
safeguard it against the encroach-
ments of moral and mental disin-.
tegration, it is the fault OF our
methods and not the work itself.
Ask any of the unprejudiced,
cool-headed business men who
have watched its scope develop so
marvelously, and they will tell
you that his estimate is not exag-
gerated. And several of Atlanta's
most substantial citizens are quail
ified to act in this capacity.
Give it Adequate Support.
The wise, just and far-seeing
spirit which leads our citizens to
uphold religious, educational and
recreatiVe movements should
operate to afford the Young Mems
Christian Association adequate
support and means for growth.
1t is of equal Importance; its past
has been equally productive, its
future we'll being should be an
equal source of solicitude. Fill
ing a unique niche not occupied
fully by the other Institutions
mentioned, it is the more essential
that we realize the work it is do
ing and from our individual in
comes set aside, Systematically, a
sufficient fund to insure the prop
er continuance of that work.
To the ministers and church
people we say that their obliga-
tions, morally and religiously, to
sustain the association is second
only to their allegiance to their
respective creeds; to the business
men we say that pressing as are
the civic and commercial issues
and problems confronting them,
the ones we have outlined are no
less so; we must have men to face
issues and problems, and the
Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion is making them. From a
commercial standpoint alone, the
need is one which will permit no
hesitation.
If business and church men, all
and singular, will take stock in
what we have denominated this
strongest and most aItruistic in
sursnce organization of the day
they will have no cause to regret
the investment.

HOYT LEAVES JACKSON QUIETLY.
The Evening News Surmises that II
Has Gone 10 Franklin Aeain.

A. J. Hoyt, Governor Varda
mans special detective, through
whose efforts indictments were se-
cured against the white cappers in
Lincoln and Franklin counties,
and who reached the capital last
Monday morning from his old
home in Michigan, has dropped
quietly out of sight, and it is be-
lieved that be has gone to Frank
lin county to investigate the COM
plants made by government wit
nesses that they are being subject
ed to intimidation and persecution
by the white capper leaders now
under Indictment.
Hoyt held an interview with
the governor Monday afternoon,
since which time he has disap-
peared, and it is more than prob
able that he is now in conference
with the officers of the franklin
County Law and Order League,
TO whom the charges of intimida-
tion and persecution by the white
cappers were first made, and after
wards referred to the United
States commissioner at Vicksburg.
Hoyt expects to receive the sol
id backing of the Franklin County
Law and Order League in fight
against the petitions now being
circulated asking Judge Niles Of
the Federal Court to dismiss the
three hundred indictments now
pending in that tribunal. He
claims that the work already ac-
complished would be worse than
useless if these indictments were
dismissed without trial, especially
as he has abundant evidence in
the shape Of more than 200 volun-
tary confessions on which the ac-
cused parties can be convicted.
He devoted four months of very
hard work to the task of exposing
the white capper organization in
Franklin county and is naturally
desirous that it should show some
substantial results.
Information reaches here that
the Law and Order League of
Franklin county will oppose the
appeal to Judge Niles for the dis
missal of the indictments, and
will have counter petitions to sub
NIT at the November term of Fed
Ieral Court in jackson. They will
also insist on an investigation
through the State courts. Jack

A Mother in Israel.

Mrs. Susan Dunbar Kelly, the
good old lady whom The Enter
prise spoke of a short time ago as
being very sick at the home of
her nephew, Nc. G. Stuart, Of
Beauregard, died on August 6, at
10 p. M, and we are sorry that
we have not made mention of her
death before, but having severe
sickness in our family and other
things to occupy our mind we
have neglected it until now. This
good woman was 81 years, FIVE
months and two days of age when
the messenger whispered death to
her. She was never sick a day in
here life before, never took any
medicine and retained such per-
feet eyesight that she never had
to wear glasses. just before she
took sick it is said she could see
how to thread a needle as quickly
as anybody. She was a real
Christian woman. At the age Of
eleven she united with the Metho-
dist church, and in 1929 was mar
ried to Henry Kelly, who died 50
years ago. She was the mother
of six children; grandmother of
twenty, and great grandmother of
fifty. Her Oldest child died last,
aged Is years. James w. Kelly,
the youngest, is SO years of age.
She lived with him since his mar
riage, Al years ago, and his wife
was a constant companion for her
during her last days on earth.
May she rest in peace. Wesson

OUR STRONGEST INSURANCE ORGAN
IZATION.
tRy the Editor Of the Atlanta constitution.)

(By the Editor of the Atlanta Gonstitution.)
The nineteenth century will go
down in history as marking the
permanent establishment of a
great popular benefaction- insur-
ance. We utilize the broad prin-
ciples of assured indemnity to
protect ourselves from loss by
death, fire, accident and i'll health;
and the normal, well balanced man
needs few arguments to show him
the wisdom and obligation involv-
ed in taking advantage of this
great modern system of pIotec-
tion.
The Constitution believes that
the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation is the most powerful in
sufance organization in the world.
Its assets and liabilities never ap-
pear in serried columns in the
daily newspapers. This, for the
simple reason that its dividends
are sound bodies and clear minds;
the face of its unwritten policies,
successful and upright careers;
its surplus and reserve funds man
ly and ideal citizens, useful and
progressive members of society,
devout and unassuming Christian
gentlemen. Such qualities cannot
he reduced TO intelIioible tables.
They are too big; it is impossible
to trace their reaching opera
tions; they stretch too far into
the futurity of this world and the
infinity of the next to admit of
mathematical guaging.
The Basis Of Our Civilization.
We believe, for instance, that
the local branch of the Young
Mems Christian Association-the
institution everywhere, for that
matter-takes its place on a prac-
tically even plane of importance
with our schools and our churches; !;
we can hardly put the matter more
strongly, since these two latter
factors are at the basis of our civ
ilization. We believe that the
people of Atlanta are as much in
debted to the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, in proportion,
as to their schools and churches;
we believe that the obligation ex-
tends to the municipality. We
believe that the city owes much of
its prosperity, its national reputa-
tion for moral cleanliness, to the
Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion, for the individual products
of that institution are among the
most prominent people of this ci-
ty. We believe that, next to the
churches, this institution has saw
ed more bodies and souls from the
evils of city life than any other
one influence.
Ii we have needed this sort of
practical, workaday insurance in
the past we need it infinitely more
in the future. Each day the city
expands; destructive temptations
must inevitably become more
numerous; opportunities for the
making of men and careers in
crease commensurately; the city's
future is in the hands of the
young men. Do we not urgently
need the Young Mems Christian
Association to help us in looking
after these vital details? Could
our money be invested in any 9th
er enterprise offering SO sure or
so broad a return?
