IRRIGATION IN DAKOTA

The liyeliest interest in North Da
kota at this time centers in the ques-
ton OF irrigation. The state irriga-
ton congress has just adjourned after
hearing a number of addresses and
adopting a series of resolutions. These
latter call for the creation of the Office
of state engineer to take charge of irri-
cation and drainage, for state exper-
iment station to investigate irrigation
on the small farms, and for large
number of other legislative acts help
full for irrigation purposes. There can
be no doubt of the very great interest
of the people in the subject. This is
still further exhibited by the action Of
the house of representatives of the
North Dakota 1egisla ture, which form
ally ordered the publication as part
of the house journal of various
speeches and documents bearing ON ir-
rigation, including the remarkable adj
dress delivered before the North Dako-
ia irrigation congress Oct. 20, 1903, by
Mr.. j. J. Hill.
A state that is constantly occupied
with ascertaining and developing its
material resources instead of playing
politics will get ahead in the. world
The remarkable prosperity Of North
Dakota, and especially its advances in
production and in wealth in COMPARE
son with other communities, have as
tonished all and puzzled many. The
explanation will be found in just such
acts as that to which we have referred.
The interest Of the people of North
Dakota in irrigation is type Of their
activity. They want to grow. They
want more acres under cultivation,
more bushels of grain from each acre.
more miles of railroad In the state.
more settlers and more wealth. These
things are certainly better than politf-
cal agitation, as the recent material
record Of North Dakota will show.
The progress now being made in that
state is most encouraging and the
movement in favor of irrigation will
increase it and give to it new impetus,
We congratulate the people of our sis
ter state upon their intelligence and
their growth in prosperity.

Insists on BattIeships

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 26.-Sec-
rotary Morton went before the house
naval committee today IN support of
the naval estimates. He submitted a
memorandum showing that the annual
appropriation for the up-keep of the
navy when all the ships now building
are authorized shall have been COM
pleted will approximate $4,000, 900.
The secretary told the committee that
the department had urged the authori-
zation of three new battleships this
year because congress had authorized
but one battleShip last year, and he
believed three this year were neces-
sary to maintain the even and gradual
increase for the navy which had been
recommended by the general board, of
which Admiral Dewey is president. In
view of the general wish to economic
the secretary said he was urging the
authorization of only the most impor-
tant part of the new construction REG
commended by the board, namely, three
battleships costing $4,000, 600 each. He
said if these ships were authorized this
year no appropriation would be neces-
Sary until next year.

place and waited for time to vindicate
them. Seldom did they wait in vain.
Gov. La Follette's entrance upon the
new stage is not happy one. The
fight that he has carried through in
Wisconsin has developed in him certain
necessary and valuable qualities, but
able and even more necessary in the
field of national politics. If he re-
mains at Washington as senator from
Wisconsin for twelve months, he will
want to go off in a corner and kick
himself for these foolish words, which
he will spend the remainder of his sem
atorial term in endeavoring to sup
press or to explain away.

PLAYING TO THE GALLERIES

Whatever may be the merits of Gov.
La roulette as an individual or as a
public man, most of his performances
are of the sort that can be described
only in the common vernacular by
saying that they make one tired" He
is eternally playing to the galleries.
The man who does this may often
achieve startling success in public life.
but he does not contribute hugely to
the solution of great problems, or to
the transaction of the real work of
the world.
The announcement of La Toilette to
the legislature on the occasion of his
eiectlon as senator is a good i1lustra-
ton OF what we mean. It is a stump
speech, that either means nothing at
all or means too much. It is talking
to the galleries with the expectation
of hearing the small boys yell. La
Toilette leaves the people I'm doubt as
to whether he proposes to be absolute
boss of the legislature or make the
legislature absolute boss Of him. One
or the other must happen if he is to
carry out his programme. He saws
that if the legislature does not enact
the laws that he demands, he will re-
sign the senatorship and come back
from Washington. He also saws that.
II his course at Washington does not
meet with the approval of the legisla-
ture, he viii resign and come back.
Now. this is pure foolishness. un-
worthy of any man of brains and
meant only to strike the ear of
groundlings. A United States senator
should be neither an autocrat nor a
valet. He has a place of his own: is
entitled to an opinion Of his own: and.
under the plain theory of the censtitu-
ton, too much forgotten these DAVIS.
represents what no other man can rep
resent-nanefy, the state as an entity.
1t is conceivable that man who
A'>S iiiiiioCiI entirely out OF
sympathy with the people of his own
commonwealth, obliged to invite their
censure or to give up his own conyic-
ton, will find the position untenable.
He who invites this dilemma IN adj
vance is deliberately insincere.
The legislature of the state of Wis
consin is engaged in making laws to
affect the people of Wisconsin. They
have only a remote connection with
the work done at Washington. They
cannot affect national interests.
United States senator who atteynnts
to dictate to a legislature should
be kicked out Of his place. A
legislature that attempts to dictate to
United States senator should be re-,
minded that his office has dignity of
it's cwn. Indeed, few men in this
country have gained greater renown
and respect than the United States
senator's who. being confronted by de-
inands from the legislatures Of their,
states for retis1nent under the pres
sure Of some gust of public opinion.

an agreement today. The main COM

the investigation OF commercial condi-

for special agents, which was increased
to $4,000 by the senate, and the con-
ferees agreed on 1925, coo. 1t was pro-
vided that conditions abroad should be
Investigated by these agents, instead of
