Mistakes of Drud Clerks.

"There Is one loss sustained by drug
gists that very few people know
about" said the experienced clerk.
"That is in the prescriptions that have
to be made over, the same as clerks,
stenographers, writer's and artists, no
matter how painstaking, frequently
have to do their work over. The most
careful drug clerk in existence Is
bound to make mistakes sometimes in
measuring and mixing.
"He may pour in too much of some
kind of liquid or sift in too much of Il
certain powder. In most cases the
overdose would not really affect the
value of the medicine, but the consci-
entious clerk isn't going to take any
chances Of numbering anybody, so he
throws away the whole mixture and
makes up another prescription" q

THERE is no doubt that the matter of
declaring laws unconstitutional is
carried to an absurd extreme in this
country. A few energetic judges, attend
ing strictly to business, may nullify the
work of whole session OF an industrious
legislative body in that way. In England
no court can set aside law parliament.
All the court wants to know IS that such
and such is the law. But here, with our
writ, constitutions, we do not know
whether a law is law or not until the
various courts have all had guess at it,.

In his speech at New York, President
elect Taft said: az believe the way to
stamp out trusts and monopolies is not to
stamp out protection, but to avoid exces-
sive rates which tempt monopolies. On
this plank in our platform we were sue
cessful, and unless we act in accordance
with our promises, or if we only keep the
word ofpromise to the ear and break it
to the hope, we shall be made accountable
to the American people ard suffer such
consequences as failure to keep faith has
always been visited with. Better to have
no Nvision at all unless we are going TO
honestly and iavorably revise the tariff
on the basis promised by our party"

IRRIGATION A SUCCESS.

Secretary of the Interior Garfield,
speaking of irrigation, said in an in
tervlew recently:
This work has advanced far enough
to demonstrate absolutely its success.
We have seen fruits, vegetables, grain
and everything else growing on lands
where nothing but cactus ever grew
before the day of irrigation.
There are SO,OOO,OOO acres Of these
arid lands all told We have COM
pleted the irrigation work on 1,OOO,-
600 acres.
As soon as they get the water they
are as fertile as any soil.
So far we have worked chiefly on
the public lands, although adjacent
private property will benefit. This
land Is turned over to settlers under
a homestead act, although the old
t6O-acre allotment is not adhered TO.
The size of the lot is determined by
its fertility, 20 or 40 acres in most
cases.
The settlers take these lots with
the understanding that they are to
pay back to the government the cost
of the irrigation Improvements, be-
ginning as soon as the water Is turn
ed on. They also have to pay the
cost OF maintaining, which amounts
to so cents an acre.
Under this arrangement the money
advanced by the government will all
be returned to 1t and it can be put
out again in other territories until all
the arid lands have been made fer
tile.
