IRRIGATION FOR TEXAS.

There was absolutely no good eX-
cuse for the passage by the house of
an act to permit the state Of Texas to
participate in the national irrigation
fund. For once the house permitted
itself to be swayed by pure sentiment
The orators for Texas talked of the
good old Alamo, of the days when Tex
ans fought on the frontier, of the
greatness Of the empire carved by Tex
ans out of a wilderness. Not one of
them advanced a sound argument why
Texas should have part or parcel in
the reclamation money.
There is not a single acre of gov
eminent land in Texas. Every foot of
the state is owned either by the state
or by private individuals. Texas saw
fit when the public lands were distri-
buted to take everything within her
border lines. That was all right, but
Texas has no right now to come in on
an equal footing with states that left
parts of their public lands in control
of the government. These are the
states that are furnishing the money
to make up the reclamation fund.
BY the sale of public lands inside of
their boundary lines they are supply
ing the means for great irrigation un-
dertakings under the federal supervi-
sion. 1t Is quite true, as has often
been stated, that no state gets any
part of this money as a gift. 1t is
loaned to them and it must be returned
to the reclamation fund. The same
rule would, of course. apply TO Texas
in the event that the senate passes the
house bill and makes it possible for
Texas TO participate in the benefits of
the national irrigation act
The great point is that every dollar
loaned to Texas delays by just that
much the undertaking or the compile
ton of irrigation works in other states,
states that are building up the fund,
states that need Irrigation projects far
more than Texas. After all the pos
sible irrigation enterprises in the arid
and semi-arid states have been com
pleted, after the money the govern
ment has paid out for them is re
turned to the national treasury, then,
and not till then, should any part of
the fund go to an outside state.
Then the money can be used in
draining swamps in the south and In
retaining land everywhere that can
not now be reclaimed by private en-
terprise Texas should restrain hel
ca gerness for some yeacs to come. And
whether she desires to do so or not, she
should be compelled to.

CONGRATULATIONS ARE DUE.

Yesterday morning the first services
we're held in the handsome auditorium
Of the First PRESBYTERIAN church on
Brigham street. Members Of the con-
gregation, and. indeed. the city gen
orally, are entitled to congratulations
on the completeness and the beauty of
this edifce. There are few more mag
nificent church buildings in the coun-
try. and certainly there are none bet
ter adapted to the services for which
IL is intended.
II was not an easy matter to raise
the $4,000 that was expended on the
church building and furnishings. Faith
full. conscientious, continuous work was
necessary. To the pastor. DR.. w. NJ.
Paden. and TO the devoted bands of
workers within the body Of the church
who labored so hard to complete the
edifice the thanks, not only Of the
church membership. but Of the com
munity at large are due.
The Herald joins in the congratuIa-
tons and expresses the hope that this
splendid tabernacle now dedicated to
the worship OF God and to the uses of
his servants viii endure while time en-
dures; that the church itself will grow
and prosper as il deserves to prosper
and that there may never be lack of
interest in the work

pLENTY OF RUINS.

An afternoon contemporary says that
one of the reasons travellers have gone
to Europe instead of coming west is
that Europe has plenty of ruins while
the west has none. 1t is suggested that
the San Francisco ruins will now OBJ
Yiate that difficulty. We venture to
correct our contemporary. The west
mas ruins older than any ruins in Eu-
rope: ruins as old as the world. Thou
sands upon thousands of years ago
there dwelt in the San Juan and Rio
Grande countries, these in particular,
a race that has been extinct for count
less centuries. The ruins Of their
abodes may be seen by any traveller
who cares to visit them.
There are few sights more interesting
than the abandoned homes of the cliff
jewellers. To the student of archaeology
nothing could be more fascinating than
an exploration of these dwellings. There
he will find many of the old household
implements, many of the implements of
war and of the chase used by a race
that died so long ago that no man can
with certainty tell the true color of its
people or can more than conjecture as
to their habits, their manner Of living
Verify, those who are fond Of ruins
didn't have TO wait until San Fran
cisco was destroyed to find them in the
west.

a GENEROUS PROFESSION.

II Is lliHe 10 pay tribute to the the
"tlraI profession, the members of
which have responded So generously
ana SO promptly TO San Francisco's call
OF distress, BY members of this pro-
LESSON, this profession that is so often
the target for viHffcation and ab1se
by ill-informed or studiously malicious
people, considerably more than $500 600
has been raised for the San Francisco
sufferers. The men and women Of the
stage, always willing 10 give freely of
their time and their talents. have out
done themselves.
In practically every important CITY in
the country benefits have been given
and the gross receipts thereof turned
over TO the various relief funds. Some
critic may say that in the last analysis
1t is the public that gives the money,
for if the public did not patronize the
benefits no money could be raised by
them But have you stopped TO con-
slider that the public is always willing
TO pay its money for good theatrical
performances? Do you remember that
if the money did not go to the San
Francisco sufferers it would go into the
pockets OF the players?
Hundreds of theatrical companies
have given the entire proceeds of reg
ular performances to the relief funds.
Thousands of players have joined in
giving special performances. And in
every one Of these special performances
the public has received full, pressed
down and running over measure for its
money. Think of that great benefit in
Chicago, the one at which for single
price of admission the public saw Sarah
Bernhard. Sothern and MarlOwe. E. S.
Willard and half a dozen other stars.
Isn't that giving value received? Would
not you pay any reasonable price, re-
gardless Of all considerations Of charity,
10 see a performance participated in by
such stars?
In New York David BeIasco, Blanche
Bates, Maude Adams, all the grand
opera stars, Wilton I-ackaye and others
whose names would fiji columns of
space. have been giving, giving. giving.
The Herald cOngratulates the entire
theatrical profession upon its generos-
ity- It is made up Of people with hearts
and souls, people quick TO understand
and appreciate suffering. quick TO do
ali they can to relieve it. And we can
not refrain from expressing the hope
that hereafter. when small minded pee
pie are locking about for something at
which to cast a stone, they will. when
they come to the theatrical profession,
he good enough to remember the San
Francisco disaster and the profession's
response.
