that wealth, frequently eager in quest
of monopoly and privilege shall
bear It's full proportion of public
burdens.
This struggle will center at first
at fory-six state capitals. 1t will find
an echo in every hamlet. 1t will be
transferred at length to the national
capital and. whatever the actual out
come may be, things never will be
quite the same again for those who
tax and those who are taxed.
Although pledged in a way to the
amendment, Republicans in the
states may defeat if. but even if SO it
will reappear and they will meet it
again at the polls. Although the
amendment is merely permissory, it
can not, if adopted, become a dead
letter. The forces aroused to cur
it's acceptance will be powerful enough
to compel the use of the authority
which it confers. The question thus
sent to the states will probably be
back again DANGEROUSLY before the
expiration of this congress-

Settled Order of Precedence.

Recent illusions to the precedence
of the members of the diplomatic
corps at the Inauguration recall. says
the Buffalo Commercial, an incident
connected with the visit of an Eng
lish minister not so many years ago.
Incident to the visit there was a din.
ner, and the committee having it in
charge awOke the question as to
whether a certain physician or a GER
tain lawyer was to have precedence
at table. A dispute threatened, when
1t was decided to leave the matter to
one OF the college professors to de-
eide classically. Asked to quote a
classical authority on social prece-
dence, but without knowing to whom
reference was made, the professor
said: "Diogenes says, Let the thief
go before; let the %executioner follow
AFTER" That was satisfactory in the
extreme. When the dinner took place
the lawyer vas given precedence, and
the doctor came next. "Is that not ac-
cording to your friend Diogenes?" the
chairman asked the professor, as he
indicated the places.

GIVING NEW LIFE TO EGYPT.
Nile Dams Have Restored Prosperity
to Once Great Country OF
the Pharaons.

Damming the Nile is a fulfilling
Gently opened, has been built for the
purpose Of storing the flood water and
providing perennial irrigation to .
tract of land containing $50, 900 acres,
il which at present only n crop Of
cereals can be grown. When irrigated
the land will be capable of growing q
second or summer and more profitable
crop of sugar or cotton.
The Nile is one CT the largest rivers
In the world, measuring more than
5000 miles form mouth to source. Ow-
ing to the fact that it has no tributar.
les for the last 1900 miles of its
course, and the great amount of evap.
grafton under the tropical heat of the
sum-, 1t presents the peculiar phenome-
o that the quantity Of water flowing
down the river decreases as the lower
length Of its course is reached.
In floods 1t carries in suspension
soil derived principally from the vol
canic plateau In Abyssinia and the
swampy regions Of the White Nile.
The quantity of material thus trans.
ported from the middle Of Africa and
Abyssinfa has been estimated at g.
O0O, 900 tons a year, raising the level
of the cultivated 'end in Egypt at the
rate of 49, inches In q century, and to
a depth which in some places extends
to 30 feet.
The Nile being fed from lands hav.
ing wet and dry seasons, it has a regu-
lar rise and fall, the water through
Egypt being at it's lowest in June and
reaching its maximum in October. The
reading of the nilometer at Rodah IL
watched with the greatest interest, az
the prosperity of the country depends
on the height of the flood water. The
discharge of the flood water is greater
than needed at high floods and def
cient in low floods and in summer, so
a system Of dams at different parts of
the river has been carried out for stor-
ing and regulating the supply.
These dams are leading factors in
the evolution of Egypt since it has
come under British control, and on
them the agriculture of Egypt largely
depends for it's existence.
The principal crops grown along the
Nile are wheat, sugar, cotton, rice,
maize and other smaller vegetation
Where the supply of water is sufficient
two crops of cotton can be obtained
In M year. The cultivation of cotton
is rapidly extending. the value of this
crop alone being nearly as great as the
whole evenue of the country. Less
than thirty years ago Egypt was on the
verge of financial ruin. Now the peas.
ants are prosperous and c%ontented, the
revenue shows a surplus, and the yield
Of the crops has increased enormously.

Curly Hair Means Obstinacy.

clamatiOn of amaze.
Strange" he said, Il have been
drawn for juries time and again, but ]

challenge me. l wonder why?"
1T is your curly hair" said a law
yer. "A curly-headed man kills a jury
He always causes it to disagree"
That is not true. You must be
crazy" said the other.
ut is the Gospel TRUTH the lawyer
persisted. "Curly-heads are as OBJ
stinate as mules. They think they
know it all. They disagree with every
body.
1T is because" he fastened to add,
their curly hair makes them so
g~ood-looking: In childhood they are
spoiled by their parents, and in ma
turity women spoil them, falling in
love with them on every side. So they
become conceited. They disagree with
everybody. Lawyers the world over
recognize that as jurymen they would
do"

The Outlook for the Poor.
N. o. States.

N. o. States.
A few days ago Mr.. James j. Hill,
the railroad magnate, discussing
politics, taxes and prices and the
rising cost of living, ventured the
prediction that the day is near when
meat will disappear from the table OF
the American wage-earner because il
will go beyond his reach. With this
thought in mind Mr.. Hill expressed
the opinion that ''now is a good time
to begin %practicing economy" But
the practicing of economy is not an
easy thing for the wage-earner, how
ever DESTROYS he may be of saving,
when the. cost of living absorbs his
income and frequently overlaps it.
It would not be difficult, we imagine,
for Mr.. Hill to adopt a policy OF re-
trenchment. because he could get
along very well without his luxurious
private car and his imported automo-
bile or by spending less of the interest
on his stocks and bonds. But taxes
direct and indirect are increasing;
rents are rising, prices of food and
clothing are going higher and higher
and these things fall like an avalanche
on the wag Garner whose purse shows
no signs of imitation. The truth is
the average wage-earner is impressed
by the fact that everything is going
up except his earnings, and in these
times he is required to meet expenses
that were unknown fifteen or twenty
years ago. In it's comments on the
recent outgivings of the millionaire
railway magnate of the Northwest the
New York World says:
''Mr. Hills economic formula is
simple enough, but it needs interpre-
tation. If it be true that meat is soon
to, be beyond the reach of our wage
earners, his meaning is that they
must presently subsist upon cereals
and vegetables. 1t is a continuing
sentence that he passes upon them.
They must move downward in the
social scale-not upward. They are
living beyond their means. The few
fat pears of American labor have
passed never to return. The lean
years are at hand and they will be
many"
If Mr.. Hill be correct in his pro-
phecies and meat will soon disappear
from the table of the American work.
ingman there is little reason to doubt
that wheat bread will depart with it,
and following these two necessary
articles. of diet will disappear also
from the homes of the poor butter,
coffee and fruit. These are apparently
the ''little economies" which Mr.. Hill
thinks the w~age-earner should prac-
tice, and be glad to do so while pluto
cracy is not only enjoying the fat of
the land but framing tariff schedules
for extortion and oppression. All
things considered Mr.. Hill pictures a
rather sad condition for the millions
OF ~wage-earners and if his prophecies
are fulfilled it will not be long before
they are living on husks like swine.

snip was the decision reached yester-
day in the case of Mrs Nora Loaf. de-
tanned by the department Of immigra-

son living there. but the fact that
she married again in Canada a man
denied admittance to this country has
expatriated her.
The LOats first made application to
be admitted to the country They were
denied because the man wanted to
come here to till a labor contract. There
was some irregularity discovered bv
the immi grafton officials in the moral
bearing OF the woman. They were de-
MED admittance and later sneaked into
the country across the northern boun-
Diary. The couple We're located in Cali

authorities. The woman when taken
into custody was living an immoral
life.
On being brought TO san Francisco

cision was appealed TO Washington, and
