irrigation and Rivers and Harbors.
There are many people who do not
entirely understand the difference be-
tween the appropriations made for the
retaining of arid lands and those for
the Improvement of rivers and har-
bors. There is a disposition to criti-
CHE Congress for permitting the ex-
penditure of millions In making hab-
table and productive large areas OF
the public domain now worthless, and
at the same time cutting down the APP
preparation for work on our national
waterways.
Apparently the fact has been over
looked that Congress has never made
an appropriation of any specific sum
for reclamation. On June II, 1902, the

reclamation law was passed setting
aside the proceeds from the sales OF
public lands in certain Western States
and territories for the construction OF
irrigation works within their borders.
The law at the same time provided
that every dollar so expended should
be returned to the Government by the
settlers who take up the lands re-
claimed. In other words. the nation
made an advance of the receipts from
the sales of certain public property to
make marketable other public prop
erty. Out Of the many millions ex-
pended by the Government in river
and harbor improvements, not cent
has ever been returned directly to the
Treasury, nor was it expected that any
return would be made.

cessive. The danger line will be
reached when the bank note circulation
comes to bear an undue relation to the
gold reserve Of the United States treas
ury. The growth in national bank notes
in FIVE years has increased their
amount from $216, 100000 to $478,000,
600, based on government bonds, or
about $50,000,000 per annum. 1t is
calculated that the gold stock OF the
country increases annually in about tbs
proportion that population increases.
During the lest fiscal year the basis
money of the nation was increased by
the addition of $23,000,000 in gold GER
tiAcates. 1t is urged that as the bank
note circulation increases faster than
the growth of the money Of redemp-
ton, the process tends toward imitation.
II adds to the burden of money which
the gold reserve must maintain at
parity.
No remedy for this situation Is IN
sight, and 1t is stated that it may be
that an unhappy financial depression
will be needed to call the attention Of
the whole country to the necessity for
caution in loading up trade with too
great an issue of bank notes. At pres
ent there is no limitation on the or
ganization Of national banks except
that they cannot go beyond the bonded
debt. The bonded debt is now $685.
100000, of which $482,000,000 is used
as security for note issues and $65,000,-
900 as security for government de-
posits. An issue of $130,000,e00 Of
canal bonds has been authorized, and
the whole world knows that other is
sues Of canal bonds must be made. II
the canal is to be constructed on the
lock principle, this bond issue will
necessarily be doubled and probably
trebled. When the canal is cut down
to sea level the cost of construction
will very nearly be doubled and the
bond issue accordingly increased.

OF their lands, SO far as practicable.
1t is recognized fact that the con.
tributions to the fund from the vari-
GUS States are in most cases not In pro-
portion to the need Of those States for
irrigation. Arizona and Nevada, for
instance, whose lands have contrib
uted very little to the fund, have
probably the greatest need and oppor-
tunity for reclamation, while on the
other hand. North Dakota and Oklaho-
ma, though large contributors, have
perhaps the least actual need for irri-
cation OF any of the Western States.

clans has been apparently not so much

the public domain has long been con.

passage Of the irrigation act as an in-

Leaves Mexico Seeking Shelter in

Last Thursday the st. Louis
Globe Democrat contained the fol-
lowing item;
Refused admission to the Masonic
home, Delmar and Union avenues,
Benjaman M. Brett, 81 years old,
applied to the police and was given
shelter for the night yesterday
evening. The authorities at the
home, he told the police, stated
they could not receive him, as he
had nothing to substantiate his
claim as a Mason.
Ten years ago he was found to
be infirm with age. Brett says he
was taken care of by the cities of
Mexico. Mo-, where he had lived
the greater part of his life.
Until three years ago he enjoyed
thiscOunty, travelling from one home
to another. Three months ago he
became so feeble that he needed
constant attention and the citizens
sent him to the poorhouse.
The aged man became restless in
the almshOuse, and inquired as to
other homes. The authorities, he
stated, told him of the Masonic
home here. They furnished trans,
portation aud placed him on the
train. Although Brett claims to

Postmaster General Cortelyou,

Mexico Man Loses His License -
Hunting for Technicalilies and
Excuses

The St. Louis Republic last
Thursday contained the following:
Basing his argument on the
ground that the act of creating
the State Board of Health is in
conflict with the Constitution Of
the United States, Doctor John l..
Fitzpocter, of this city, applied
yesterday for writ of certiorari
against that body. The case has
been assigned to Judge Sales di-
vision of the Circuit Court.
Doctor Fitzporter's license to
practice medicine was revoked by
the State Board of Health, whic b
has been in session for two days
at the Southern Hotel. Having
been summoned to appear before
the board Tuesday to answer a
charge of performing an alleged
unprofessional operation, Doctor
Fitzporter ignored the summons.
He maintains that the State Board
has no jurisdiction in the case.
The board yesterday listened to
the evidence in the case of Mrs.
Margaret Pierce, a nurse, charged
with malpractice.
In addition to Doctor Fitzporter,
Doctor E. j. Hogan, of st. Louis,
and Doctor H. 9. McFall, of Mex
leo, lost their licenses on charges
of uuprofessional conduct.
DR.. Thomas Benton Hughes, of
st. Joseph, Mo-, was found guilty
of having made a false affidavit,
and his license was revoked. DR..
Hughes is said to have registered
in 1891 of having a diploma from
the Milwaukee Medical College
The board was of the opinion thai
he never matriculated at that col
lege.
DR.. S. j. Donaldson, of Cow.
gill, Mo-, was charged with writ.
ing whisky prescriptions. On ac,
count of his advanced age he was
excused on his promise never to
write such prescriptions again.
