puBL1cIrY in campaign contribu-

PUBLICITY in campaign contribu-
ons was urged by William
jennings Bryan before the commit
zee on elections of the House last
week. 1t was an interesting meet
sng of the man who aspires to be
President and a majority of those
who are deadly opposed to his
aspirations. The session was cord
ial however, for he was advocating
something that neither party could
afford to openly oppose, that is the
honest conduct of political cam
paigns. Mr.. Bryan was accom-
panied by Perry Belmont, Samuel
Gompers and a number of other
members of the publicity organiza-
ton that Mr.. Belmont is running
N Washington. The Democratic
eader did all the talking that was
done for the appellants. and his re-
marks were to the point. He said
that what everyone should want
was an honest election, and to
that end all campaign contributions
Should be made public. He said
that honesty in an election meant
simply party trying as it could to
win, but using no means that it
would be ashamed to have the gen
eral public thoroughly understand.
he said it would be better to have
campaign contributions made public
after an election than not at all,
but that it would be vastly better
to have them made before hand SO
that their character could be judged
by the people before the election
was decided. This was a plain
proposition on which everyone had
to agree, and the only question
remaining was just how law
should be framed to carry 1t out.
The committee asked Mr.. Bryan
for his views on this subject, but he |
said that he had no doubt the COM
nittee could frame a law that
would meet all the requirement of
the case, and he. would prefer to
leave that matter to them without |
suggestion. Score one for Mr..
Bryan. He has stated a proposition
with which nobody can disagree
and added nothing to his remarks
that can be found fault with. 1t is
now up to the House to get busy
But it probably will not.

Christian Song.

Many, says recent writer, think
song is luxury which they have a
right to deny themselves IL they please.
Few have thought it duty that they
should be instructed i'm Christian song;
and yet the command to sing is as ex-
plicit as the command to pray, and we
do not think of neglecting to pray.
You will bear witness, the greatest
trouble of Christian experience is what
We may call the liguefaction of thought
into emotion. The Greek method of
culture way philosophical, and we have
followed largely in the same direction.
The wings God has given us to fly
up to him are the wings of song. The
lyrical element is the best expression
of feeling. All forms of experience
have been touched in poetry of chant
and song. Why should we neglect
these gatherings of expression? Why
should you try by thought to get to
God, when you can sing your way to
him with half the effort? There is
railroad up Mount Washington. A
man who sings through life is like the
man who ascends the mountain in the
car; the man who does not sing is like
traveller who pants ON foot up the
steep ascent.
DIR. Stowe said, when he visited
certain institution in Germany: " In
one room boys were with violins play
ing another room was full of boys
singing. The teacher said, If the
children don't sing, the devil is i'm here,
but when they do he has to go and SIT
out there "
Evil cannot dwell in spirit of sacred
song; amp so, TO bring this to a close,
"Speak to yourselves in psalms and
hymns, singing and making melody to
the Lord"

miles of the best land of the nation
will owe its usefulness to the activ-
tiles of this service.
And still the end is not yet. We
have some 10000 square miles of

ice will redeem that also. with a
similar revolving fund" In the
end the area of there states like
Iowa may be given to us by this
agency-the richest the sun shines
on.
All these affect the waterways.
The Missouri will be benefited by
the subtraction of it's current by
the entire flow of the Yellowstone
water and mud, which Mr..
Newell has marked for absorption
in his projects. The Arkansas, the
Platte, the Rio Grande and others
will have their waters drawn upon
for irrigation. Some of them will
be injured for navigation. Some of
them will be benefited. In many
cases floods will be held back and
the seepage from the irrigated
fields will make better, clearer,
more regular stream. The greater
project must govern. The beds of
the streams are natures canal
routes. 1t is to coordinate and sys-
tematize all these complex inter
ests that the inland waterways has
been set up-to do the greatest
work of any organization ever es,

disclose it's interior contains "the
stuff"
The greater risk of peddling
drink against the law makes the
price of beer 25 cents a pint bottle
and of whisky 20 cents a pint bottle
and the quality is always inferior.
This makes fine profit for the
man with no license to pay and no
expensive fixtures to keep up. The
result is that bootleggers are the
most prosperous people, in. a,small
way, in the community.
Liquor comes into the state by
the car load. The cars are unloaded
on quiet side tracks and the local
officers shut their eyes.
Altogether prohibition is a very

advantage being very much in favor
of the other states.

Every square mile redeemed by
irrigation or drainage is added to
the useful surface of the earth.
Moreover, irrigated lands are cult
waited intensively. They are used
in tracts of 10. 20 and 40 acres
only. They are occupied by dense
communities of prosperous people,
whose lives combine the social
features of towns with the whole
someness of the county, in a eli
mate where eternal sunshine
reigns-high. dry. sunny paradises.
The best part of the area of our
nation will one day be admitted to
be the reclaimed lands which this
splendid service is redeeming.
Some of it is now worth $1,000 an
acre. Some of 1t may be got
cheaply. And everywhere the rec
lamation service labors to make it
the homes of actual workers, and
to keep from it the blight of land
speculation.
At the present pric eof lands,
the service sees the reclamation of
some 10000 square miles. This
means more arabic land than In
diana possesses. 1t means more
good land than Connecticut has,
added to the areas of each of the
states and territories of Washing
ton. Oregon. California, Nevada,
, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Colo

, each of these little Connecticuts
will be vastly more productive than
the old Connecticut, capable of sus-
tanning more people, destined to as
great a history. These are the be-
ginnings of great things.
And the 10000 square miles Is
not the end. Every irrigation prof.
ect Is business proposition the
crux of which is the question:
Can we sell this land for the cost
of the irrigation plant?" When the
plant is installed and the land sold,
the owners own the plant and the
