are called upon by the state to ex-
plain their actions, to tell the public

THE CURIOUS PUBLIC.

Public taste is curious thing. Be-
cause Bob Fitzsilnmons' wife has left
him, carrying away some articles of
Ralue, metropolitan newspapers think
|t advisable to devote whole columns
to interviews with Fitzsimmons, the
btl1er man in the case, and any one
klse who will talA: about it. Mr.. FitZ-
5immons is an ignorant man with a
5tin punch, once a blacksmith who
harmed an honest living. His whole
lain to public attention is his ability
b hit another brute in the jaw hard
nough to jar him into unconscious
ess. Mrs Fitzsammons was an act
ess of the more common music hall
fpe. Neither of them appear to pos
ess marked moral consciousness or in
kllectual ability. Both travel on their
hape" Still they are given more
fominence in public print and arouse
lore public interest than Marconi or
homas Edison. Why?
Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Fitzsimmons is
person of particularly high character,
ktainment or worldly achievement.

ONE CAUSE FOR THE DEFICIT.

Writing from Nebraska a farmer
subscriber Of the, imes-Republican
encloses cartoon, the central figure or
which is prosperous clad and portly
gentleman representing the railroads
He is Just emerging from the postofflce
carrying under one arm bulky pack
age labeled ''exorbitant charges for
hauling MAIL" under the other sim
liar bundle of charges for false
weights in mails" The Nebraska man
refers to the decision recently arrived
It by the postoffice department to dis
\ continue non paying rural mail routes
and says:
I lust want to call your attention to
the cartoon enclosed 1t gives good
reason for the postal deficit The rural
routes cost us something and there
is lot Of us that can't get them.
wish that when the inspector comes
around that he could see this cartoon.
The Nebraska farmer has put his
finger on one of the principal causes
for the deficit. There is not the slight
est doubt that the government has been
exploited in the matter Of railway mail
contracts and that millions might be
i saved to the postal funds by reform
IN this direction. And when the farm
ers everywhere pay as much attention
70 their own interests as this one who
writes from Nebraska, we will get
1 more for the money expended in the
postal department

read the special from Tama. This con-
dition of public mind was not notice.
able during the outbreak of the Box
ers in China, or the Beers in South
Africa One could hear those days ex-
pressions of pronounced and en-
phatic opinions concerning the rights
and wrongs of the nations involved and
the subjects in revolt. But in this lat
est upheaval of society why is the pub
lie. the general public, so Indifferent?
For it is to be remembered this is
white mans affair 1t is civil war. 1t
is not big, powerful nation trying to
subdue the revolt of another national
ity, living in a far province. 1t is Rus
sian aristocracy lined up against the
peasant populace, against the Jewish
populace Why are our newspapers
not filled with editorials on the situa-
ton in Russia 2" Why are not the hotel
lobbies the railroad depots, the pass
enger cars filled with people talking
of the revolt in Russia? Simply be-
cause our people have little or no SYM
pathy with aristocrat or peasant; care
as little for mobs Of peasants as the
mobs of Jews. If they are white peo-
pie they are not our kind. The pres
ent generation of newspaper readers
remember the outrages of the Russian
officials against the lower classes, re-
ported almost daily for years. They
have all read of Siberia, and why men
and women have been sent there. They
have read Of the whips the police of
Russia use on the bodies of the peo-
pie. They have heard of the treat
nent of the students of Russia, this Of
both sexes. Sympathy for Russia
there is none. But one naturally would
expect sympathy for the Jews, so ter
ribly misused, robbed and murdered
by the very poor people whose backs
are accustomed to the wire lined whips
of the police Yes, there is sympathy
that expresses itself in dollars. but of
the personal sympathy this country had
for the struggling Beers in their con-
test with England, it is not here. Again
it can be said neither the Russian
aristocrat, the Russian peasant, nor
the Russian Jew, in their personal
troubles, touch the heart strings of
the American citizen.

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

Leaving out of the question entirely
the good to the general community Of
the Investigation of the big insurance
companies, the feature of the moneyed
kings, the millionaires, the plutocracy
of these United States, standing in the
witness box and school-boy-like an
swering questions under oath, the
same as the poorest man in the land, is
an encouraging sign of the times. A
Rockefeller leaving the state to avoid
a subpoena in the hands of a deputy
sheriff, illustrates the same idea. These
men with all of the power of their mill
ions really respect the majesty of the
law They may carry on business
transactions that are closely allied to
Illegal proceedings. They may and
probably do. buy legislators, judges

Irrigation In the West.
tBy d. w. Norris, of Grinnell.l

ings. These openings have gates that
are raised or lowered by means of
huge screws. When they are all clos
ed the water is forced thru a side OPEN
ing into the main canal, which carries
the waters of the Truckee and empties
1t into the channel of the Carson. This
canal is about thirty miles long and
follows the brow of the mountains,
just high enough above the valley to
make irrigation by gravity easy. Be
low the junction of the waters OF the
Truckee with the waters Of the Car
son, a great dam is to be built. This
work has not yet been begun. When
finished it will be 1870 feet in height and
will store a body of water eighteen
miles long, and covering 1000 acres
will speak Of this later. We will
follow now the work that is under
way.
Below this dam site, two miles, is
another diverting dam similar to the
Truckee dam, only on a larger scale.
These gates, when all closed, will di-
vert the water into two canals, one
on the right and one on the left. The
right hand canal follows the edge of the
valley on the south side and the left
hand canal continues it's course thru
the valley on the north side Of what
is considered the most desirable land
1t leaves some arabic land to the left
but laterals from the main canal will
reach this. These two main canals
continue their course for eight or ten
miles, when the Carson sink is reach
ed.
The Carson sink is circular basin
about twenty miles in diameter. 1t is
simply the bed Of an ancient lake. In
it's porous breast the waters of the Car
son are completely lost and for this
reason it is only the earlier part of the
season that the agriculturalist can Sc
cure sufficient water. BY diverting
the water from this porous sink and
passing it thru the more compact soil
of which the canals are built, vast
saving of water is made, and in order
to protect the settler from this period
ical drowth, a tremendous body of
water is to be stored by means Of the
dam l have already referred to. This
is called the storage dam. When the
flow of the river falls this storage wa
ter will be drawn upon and the canals
fed from the stored waters
The two main canals follow the
Typography of the ground in the main,
but the fall Of the valley is SO great
that to prevent wash and waste, the
canals are kept at such a level that
water merely runs. This is done by
means of drops. Every mile or two
a concrete end or lock is made for the
water to pass thru, and it then drops
four or six feet, as the level of the
ground requires. At one point several
miles below the diverting dam of the
Carson, in the right hand canal, there
is a tremendous drop. 1t is twenty
eight feet. This is known as the power
house. and when ], asked Mr.. Taylor
why it was called the power house, he
said that he planned this fall for the
purpose of producing power, to run
mills or trolley cars or electric lights
any industry whatever needing power.
The drop was necessary, so he made
it Of concrete and cement, and it is as
enduring as the pyramids of Egypt

in his dealings with individuals, selfish
the kind of men whose wealth is their
only claim to distinction. stu we
trace their movements in public prints,
feature their comings and goings,
spread ourselves on their weddings and
set slug head over their disgrace
and msfortunes? Neither they nor
the Fitzsimmons deserve as much no
tice as the ordinary decent citizen.
Why do we do it?
The general newspaper reader mas
curious appetite. He demands all
that stuff. The Lord knows why, but
he wants it. And so long as men deal
in news commodities for profit he
will get what he demands. Even the
deacons glance thru the headlines that
give the result Of the championship
fight and the most faithful wives read
with a marked avidity the details Of
notable divorce suits. Those who
watch the procession Of the days thru
the windows of the daily newspaper
require every detail of the passing
show. Perhaps it is only natural that
groups of the Fitzsimmons'. the Nc
Curdys, Depews, ct al, cutting fantas-
tic tricks with morals or money, GRIM
mails in their gives, ambulances
with their bloody freight of dead and
injured. should draw the eye.
But of 1t all nothing is more cur
ious than that Mr. Fitzsimmons' sor-
rows should stop the world for a
minute to laugh or sympathize. Per-
haps after all the sun stood still for
foehro
