WANTED-A REASON.

The chairman of the Republican
congressional committee has offered a
reward for the best reason why the
Republican party should be success
full in the campaign OF 1908. Socrates
and his lantern over again! Every
last one of the essayists will dearly
earn his money; and yet never one
will give a good and sufficient reason.
In fact ten men couldn't give it. But
reverse the proposition, and child
can tell why the Republican party
ought not to succeed next November:
because the administration Of Aldrich
and Cannon represents the trusts and
misrepresents the people. The do
nothing policy of congress has i'm
pressed this reason on the minds and
hearts of the people.

Western Prosperity.

The nations prosperity really rests
on farm products. So long as these
reach up to the value OF former years,
approximately 81, 800 100000 in
1907,-this must continue to be so.
There has probably never been a time
in this generation when such splendid
general crop prospects existed as at
the beginning of May, and which
have continued up to the middle of
the month. The empty cars of to-day
will all be enlisted to move the wheat,
corn, oats, and cotton now seeded.
One strong impression on the trav-
eler in the trans-Mississippi country
is the utilization of the waste places
OF past years. The unsightly desert
of to-day is the blooming orchard o.
tomorrow, and the irrigation ditch the
advance agent of prosperity in mani
fold forms. Some of the results of
irrigation in Texas, which promises
to rival Louisiana as a rice-prO-
ducing State, and in Colorado, where
the land newly watered commands
from $500 to $1,000 an acre, and that
in bearing orchards from $4,000 to
$4,000 an acre, are marvellous to be-
hold. Western Texas, cleared of
mesquite and cultivated for cotton,
has witnessed an increase IN her
annual rainfall of nearly ten inches.
The change of climate in the new por-
tions of the country is a study by
itself. Nature adapts herself to new
conditions and helps those who help
themselves.-Fr Business Condi-
tiOns in the West and Southwest" by
Charles f. Speare, in the American
Review of Reviews for June.
