Honesty No Respecter of Persons.
The first requisite IN the public ser
wants who are to deal In this shape with
corporations. whether as legislators or
as executives, is honesty.
This honesty can be no respecter Of
persons. There can be no such thing as
unilateral honesty. The danger is not
really from corrupt corporations; It
springs from the corruption itself,
whether exercised for or against cor
porations.
The eighth commandment reads
Thou shalt not steal" 1t does not
read. Thou shalt not steal from the
rich man." IT does not read, Thou
shalt not steal from the poor man."
1t reads simply and plainly, Thou shalt
not steal" No good whatever will come
from that warped and mock morality
which denounces the misdeeds Of men
OF wealth and forgets the misdeeds
practiced at their expense: which de-
nounces bribery, but blinds itself TO
blackmail; which foams with rage if a
corporation secures favors by improper
methods, and merely leers with hideous

1t is important to this people to crap
pie with the problems connected with
the amassing of enormous fortunes, and
the use of those fortunes, both cor

should discriminate in the sharpest way
between fortunes well-won and fortunes
ill-won; between those gained as an
incident TO performing great services
10 the community as whole, and those
gained In evil fashion by keeping just
within the limits of mere law-honesty.

ASK IRRIGATION BENEFITS
Oklahoma Finally Awaken.
ing to the Importance of
Sure Water Supply.
tBy Associated Presa.l

Washington, Jan. 5.-The water re-
sources Of Oklahoma have, up to the
present, been little known. A report of
the geology and water resources Of
that territory has. however, been pub
lished by the United sttaes geological
survey
The principal geological formation
In the territory is widespread deposit
of red clay, shale and sandstone, a
large part Of which has been classed
as permian in age and is known as the
"red beds The Hood plains, or "bot-
tom lands" Of the rivers Of Oklahoma
is'made up largely Of alluvium derived
chiefly from the dplands in the dis.
lntegration Of red clays and tertiary
sands and clRys The food plain OF
nearly all the streams is saturated
with water Even in those areas OF
the red beds where good water can
not be obtained from the red clays OF
the uplans, it is not unusual to
find an abundant supply of pure water
along the river bottoms.
An interesting point brought out is
the fact that irrigation In Oklahoma
has encountered not merely indiffer-
encs but even opposition on the part
OF the people. There is general
impression that an acknowledgment
that irrigation is needed will he dctri-
mental to the interests OF the terri
tory. Latterly however, public opinion
has In a large measure undergone a
change, and communities that formerly
secuted the idea Of irrigation are now
asking how such operation may be
brought about.

A SEEMING PARADOX
Richmond Celebrates Ami
versary of British Occu-
pancy of the Town
(By Associated Press.)

Richmond, Va. Jan 5,-The various
patriotic and historical societies Of
Richmond held exercises today com
rlemorative OF that January 8, one han
dred and twenty-five years ago. when
the British forces entered and took
possession OF the town of Richmond,
which was then. as now. the capital
OF the state of Virginia. Thomas JEFF
fersoa was governor at the time. and
although he had been warned that the
British had invaded Virginia and that
detachment under command OF Gen
eral Arnold was approaching Rich
mond by way OF the James river, his
tory does not record that any resis-
tancc was offered. The British
marched into the town on January 5,
1881. But lafayette was quickly dis
patched by General washington and he
took possession of Richmond the fol
lowing April. A short time later Corn
wallis united with General Arnold and
the city again was taken by the Brit
ish, who remained in possession untQ
the surrender at Yorktown.
