GEORGE ABE RETIREs.

George AIDE, playwright and humor-
list, has announced his retirement from
the race for delegate from his district
in Indiana TO the Republican national
convention at Chicago. He says he is
too busy to get into politics, but the
chances are that The County Chair
man advised him to stay out. There
isn't going to be much room for hu-
morists in the next Republican con-
vention, anyway. SO perhaps Mr. AIDES
little boomlet is better off dead That
boomlet didn't get far. We can hear
it saying:

Since I am so quickly done for"
or words to that effect.
Still, The Herald is genuinely sorry
that Mr.. Ade didn't stay in the fight
and win out. He would have contrib
uted lot to the hilarity of the con-
vention. We can almost hear his
nominating Fairbanks for the presi-
dency something like this:

per is more interested in forwarding
the interests of irrigation than The
Herald, but we do not believe the Pen
rose bill should be enacted into law.
The people who are most interested
in irrigation are plenty able to pay
their own expenses in attending con-
crosses. And city that makes bid
tertaining it without assistance from
the general government. The muni-
cipaiity that hasn't enough patriotism
to raise the necessary funds for occa-
sions of this kind certainly does not
deserve any help from the outside. Be-
sides, the Penrose act. if passed, would
establish a very dangerous precedent.
1t will be argued that if it is proper
for the government to give money for
irrigation congresses it should also
similar character. For instance, we
have a mining congress that holds an
nual sessions Also there is a Trans
Mississippi Commercial congress, a
National woolgrowers' association, a
national livestock organization, and SO
OH down through a long list. All of
| these industries are important, not
only to the men engaged in them, but
to the entire country. They could ask
for an appropriation from the federal
treasury just as consistently as the ir-
rigation congress could ask for one.
These points will doubtless be made
during the discussion of the Penrose
| bill, both in committee and on the
| floor of the senate, if the bill evel
gets out of the hands of the commit
tee to which it has been referred. II
is TO be presumed that the money foi
| the irrigation congress would come
out of the irrigation fund. That money
| should all be used for irrigation pur-
poses, and for nothing else. The pur.
! pose of the national irrigation act was
/ to create a fund from which money
might be loaned for the reclamation o.
arid and semi-arid lands. To CONVEX
it to other uses would be most i'm
proper.
In conclusion it may be said tina
the people Senator Penrose aims I,
| benefit will undoubtedly be the frs
TO reject his kind offer. They are no
in any sense paupers. They. can pa!
as they go. When they cannot pa!
they will not go. There has neve
been any trouble about securing
large attendance at irrigation an,
rose gift would not help matters in tn
least.

Some associations are tagging along

not marking time nor initiating the

of the thing that needs to be done in
