forbids physicians to prescribe it and
leaves only the sale of communion wine
for church purposes as legal. But
abroad, as we'll as at home, the same
ferment characterizes the subject.
Sweden long ago adopted the Gothen-
burg system Of state dispensation and
care, and the results have been hailed
as a great advance. Norway later
adopted the Samlag system, which is
laid on much the same lines.
In Switzerland the federal govern
ment has made monopoly Of spirits,
taking absolute control of the distiller-
les, fixing prices and regulating supply.
1t has closed about 200 distilleries;
from the remainder it furnishes liquor
to the states agents. for which it also
increased the retail price in order to
discourage use. The quantity con-
sumed has decreased under this method
40 per cent. In England the question
of stricter regulation has become ur-
gent though it is conceded that that is
the last country in which radical action
on this subject win be tolerated.
The point for our edification is that
everywhere in the civilized world the
drink question is a militant one. This
should give US a broader view. The
manufacture and sale of alcoholic drink
everywhere exists on tolerance. An
other feature is that the question is
ever to the front. What has been done
seems only for time to satisfy; still
more is asked. The general tendency
in dealing with it in all lands is to make
the restrictions about it not less, but
more binding.

Roosevelt Administration Achievement.

There has been much Of the spectac-
ular, the dramatic, in the Roosevelt
procedure. The striking, picturesque
things make deeper impression than
the pIodding drudgery of effort at bet
ter administration or at development
of sound policies in legislation. How
much of the spectacular there has been
is illustrated by the result of an eforo
to get four students of affairs to ex-
press their opinions as to the largest
achievement of the administration.
"Reawakening the public con-
science, said one.
"The peace between Japan and Rus
STA, - insisted the second.
"The movement for conservation of
natural resources" said the third.
"Curbing the corporations, = pro-
posed the fourth.
In the effort 20 referee the dispute
these additional paramount achieve
ments were proposed by other obser-
vers.
The acquisition of the Panama Canal
and the assurance that it will be sue
cessfully constructed.
The establishment of the United
States in the first rank of powers and
the assumption of accompanying respon-
sibilities which was announced by send
ing the fleet around the world.
The inauguration of new era in the
relations of the three Americas by
bringing the Latin-American countries
to understand and have confidence in
thegood intentions of the United States.
The settlement of the anthracite
strike.
On the day when this frutless in
quiry was made the man who was its

miles on horseback in order to demon
strate that regulation requiring an
army officer to ride ninety miles in
4 three days wasn't unreasonable or inn
possible. The next day he sent a

Oshkosh Northwestern: 1t is a com
mon saying to let the coming genera
ton pay for public improvements" but
not always is it a good plan to try to
follow this advice AS soon as the debt
is created it commences to accumulate
interest charges, and all too frequently
the present generation is forced to pay
the debt once and the next generation
to pay it again The best plan is to
limit the expenditures according to the
revenue which is available, and when
this plan can be followed it is always
more satisfactory in the end, To pay
as you GO saves a lot of trouble and
extra expense and is a policy that
should always be given FIRST considera-
tion in private or public affairs.

Especial Correspondence of Advertiser1
The seventeenth National Irrigation
Congress was held at Spokane, Wash
ington, from August 9 to IA last, fully
one thousand delegates being present,
the largest attendance in the history of
the organization. Representing the
Territory of Hawaii were Ralph s. Hos
mer, Superintendent of Forestry; W. H.
Babbitt, Superintendent of Education;
j. 7. Taylor, Augustus Knudsen, E.
Lord, and L. G. Blackman, editor Ha>
waiian Forester and Agricu1turist.
During the week of the proceedings
many excellent papers were read and
much valuable data was submitted upon
irrigation and conservation subjects. In
this brief account merely an outline of
the work of the Hawaiian delegates will
be given and of that part of the trans
actions of interest to the Territory.
Corporate Interests at Work.
Early in the day g. note of warning
was sounded by Mayor Pratt in his ad
dress, of a prospective conflict between
the corporate interests and the United
States Reclamation Service. The
speaker stated that capital might be
used to hamper the work of the conven-
tion and that the large corporate in
terests were represented in many of the
delegations and might attempt to DOM
mate he committees
Telegram From President Taft.
The first direct encouragement re
ceived by the Hawaii delegation was
found in the telegram from President
Taft addressed to the National Irriga
| ton Congress, which read as follows:
~ greatly regret that I am not able te
| be present to hear the discussions an6
| get the benefit of your deliberations
/ have the deepest sympathy with the
general objects of the National Irriga
tion Congress and you can count on my
| earnest endeavors to further the caus,
i of reclamation by irrigation in ever,
/ part of the country within the jurisdic
ton Of the Federal government.
The address of George E. Barstow
president of the seventeenth irrigation
congress, emphasized the national i'm
portance of irrigation projects general,
and urged upon the Federal govern
ment to issue bonds to enable the com
pletion and extension of reclamation
work. He said in part:

Water Our Chief Asset.

Without question, water is the chief
asset of our people. To properly safe
guard the headwaters of all our ma
tional rivers and tributaries; to inn
pound these waters for irrigation and
power development, means a twofold
blessing to our people by distributing
vast commercial advantages on one
hand, and saving enormous destruction
on the other.
"This congress is in sympathy with
that great effort for commercial de-
velopment of orr natural waterways.
Such are their Importance to the ma
tion that some of the leading minds of
the country have conceived the idea
of national department of public
works, with a secretary who shall be a
member of the President s cabinet.''
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-09-04
Bond Issue Needed.

II desire to impress upon this con-
gress the Importance of taking prompt
steps to give the Federal government
to understand that the people of the
nation demand that the reclamation
fund shall forthwith be supplemented
by the creation and sale from time to
time of gold bonds to the sum of five
hundred million dollars.
ssThis same principle finds its appli-
cation as to the reclamation of our
swamp lands, and improvement of our
natural waterways. When all these
arid lands shall have been cultivated
by irrigation, we shall have opportun-
ity for about 25,0O0,0o0 additional pop
ulation, with an annual increase of ag-
ricultural products amounting to So
800 GOO coo
