TO RECLAIM LARGE ACREAGE

suit of the visit to Parker of F. H.. Newell, director of the reclamation service, the government will reclaim thousands of acres of fertile land on the Arizona side of the Colorado river, adjoining Parker on the south.
 MT. Newell was accompanied by L. c. Hill, supervising engineer of the service; President Murphy and Vice President Drake of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railroad ]; Dr. G. H. Vickers. editor of the Arizona Republican, and others.
 After the inspection President Murphy said:
 "This visit of MT. Newell here is of great importance. It means the opening for settlement in the inn mediate future of 10000 acres for farming purposes" !.
 The party came here in special train Thursday and drove over the valley to the south, inspecting the site for proposed pumping plant to irrigate 10000 acres. After the trip Director Newell said:
 ''It is great body of fine land. It is the intention of the reclama- ton service to begin at once the irrigation of 10000 acres adjacent to the Indian agency.
 Pumps will be installed at or near Headgate Rock, which will raise the water to an elevated canal and carry it around the rim of the mesa and from there it will cover the high ground back of the agency" Headgate Rock is about five miles from Parker.
 MT. Hill stated that the reclama- ton service now has all the pumps and other machinery necessary for this project, and the excavation for the canal and the installation of the machinery will require only a few months. MT. Hill will return here in short time to inspect the situation further, preparatory to beginning operations.
 Director Newell was asked con- corning a bill which has been in- troduced in the United States sen- ate to give corporation the right to dam the Colorado river above Parker and divert the water for irrigation and power purposes.
 "I asked Senator Flint about that matter recently" said MT. Newell, land he admitted that he had fath- cred some such measure. but had given it slight consideration.
 ''It will be only a matter of time until the reclamation of this entire valley is undertaken. The govern ment is awake to the importance of retaining the desert wastes and making prosperous homes of them."

A DETROIT police court judge has decided that d father had a perfect right to spank his 17-year-old daughter, that punishment having been adopted in an>seffort to keep her away from nickelodeons. The daughter claimed she was too old to be. spanked; the judge decided not. Really, it seems that it is worth while;to be father.

ALDR1cH AND THE WEST.
Davenport Time.

Senator Aldrich is making a tour of
the middle west for the first time in
twenty years. Undoubtedly he is sur
prised to discover that Chicago and ST.
Louis do not consist of flag station
and corner grocery in the shadow of
a grain elevator. He comes, he says,
to get the advice of the west. He will
get it, He will find that there is no
great, joyful bubbling over in favor Of
a central bank, at least not the kind
that has so far been suggested, altho
it will be conceded that some of the
things that central bank could do
for the benefit of all would be a valu-
able change in the country's currency
system.
But the west must be given assur-
ance that Will be positive and undis-
putable, il such a plan is to meet favor
in the future, that the bank can not
be controlled by any particular set Of
men or by the representatives Of any
particular part of the country. This
point Mr.. Aldrich admits is we'll taken,
and he admits he has not yet been able
to find the solution of the problem. In
lieu Of the proposed central bank of
issue, which has been suggested, the
west ought, if possible, to propose a
plan, if 1t will have nothing to do with
the original suggestion.
Mr. Aldrich must be given credit for
being in no hurry to push any par
ticular plan thru congress. Not until
the third session Of the present con-
gress does he expect to be ready to
make Tepor. with Tecounneria tons
Meanwhile he is studying and asking
for suggestions.

dress DR.. Crane has made in Chicago

The curse of America Is Indifference.

affairs. 1t is this which allows trusts
to fatten and hands the government of

of criminals"
There are new styles in everything

Harry Thaw killed his man very much
as Hagan killed Siegfried. We have
steam cars, telephones. patent washers

ants-until you begin to teach him to

"Workingmen have been told sc
often that they believe it that they are

strokes it takes to get it into nine holes

BOYS AND JA1Ls AND MOTHERS
ICedar Rapids Repuhlican.l

Last week one man remarked that
even if the police did not get the right
boys-as they certainly failed to do in
several Instances we know of-he was
glad that some of them had been ar
rested; il may scare the rest Of
them.
That is very we'll as long as it isn't
your boy. Most men are always will
ling to sacrifice the other man or the
other mans boys. But those other
boys also have mothers and mothers
are not as a general thing comforted
by the thought that an injury inflicted
on their sons may help some one else.
No mothers boys ought to be put in
jail for the general effect of the thing
upon others. The man who made that
remark if his own boys had been af-
fected would have thought differently
of it. Place yourself in the other mans
place or in the other mothers place.
That is all that is necessary.
Even if a boy is guilty of some
slight discretion the police ought to
be very considerate of his parents. A
Jail is. not a good place for a boy Put
ting him in jail may be like rubbing
the down from peach A police con-
tact is not desirable for boy and
mothers may we'll shrink from it. Ii
pull boy toward the Jail. That ought
10 be the last thing. when all other
methods of correction have failed.

UP-To-DATE INDIANS.

A news item in the rama Herald of
Nov informs lis readers that Bye
ta-chi-no- ga, an Indian child of the
Musquakie tribe, recently died and was
buried in casket, and adds the furth-
er information tina. this is the first
time In the history OF the tribe that an
Indian was laid away in white mans
coffin" Justice to The more progress
sve Indians of the tribe demands that
a correction be made public.
Joseph lessons son. who died during
Mr. Reboks administration as Indian
agent. was buried in a white mans
coffin, more ,hans ten years ago
James Poweshies's daughter who died
in 1901 or 1902 was buried in a casket
purchased from the undertaken in To-
ledo. Two or three years later a child
member of Cha ka-ta sees fam
lily. died and was buried in a white
casket purchased in Toledo. The Incl
dent related in the Herald is not the
beginning of progress along this line
by these Indians, but the building on a
foundation laid years ago by the pro-
gressive element of the tribe.

schism in x-science Church

1t was the belief in we'll informed
circles of the Christian Science cult In
this city that the deposition of Mrs.
Augusta Stetson and the revocation Of
her license to teach and practice Chris
tan Science in this city would lead to
serious discord in the First Church Of
Christ, Scientist, here. Drastic meas
ures are being taken by the officials Of
the New York church to hush discuss
sion of Mrs. Stetsons removal.
A meeting of the board of trustees OF
the New York church has been held
relative to Mrs. Stetson's dismissal, but
none of its members could be persuaded
to divulge its actions.
Another view of the situation was
taken by Mrs. Della NJ Gilbert, the
Christian Scientist Nho has been try
ing to establish new branch of the
church in this city
The trouble with Mr. ste.son." said
Mrs. Gilbert last night. is that she is
too strong. Those people in Boston are
afraid of her. Augusta Stetson is the
woman who made Christian Science
what it is. Mrs. EDDY didn't do it, She
gave the cult the Christian Science
Science what it is today Augusta Stet-
son has worked increasingly for twen-
ty years to advance the faith and now
that she has become so powerful those
people in Boston daren't let her retain
her leadership any longer.
"Of course it is true continued Mrs.
Gilbert, that Mrs. Stetson's teachings
were radical. That is the cause of the
trouble l was a member of the First
| church for FIVE years and understand
pesfectly what her views are. Her doc
triife concerning marriage is certainly
too radical She would have us do
| away with marriage and put an end to
child bearing. Such a doctrine leads to
free love. do not see how we can cut
, out marriage. We simply must marry
Nevertheless, altho they charge that
Mrs. Stetson's teachings lead to i'm
morality. that is not the real reason
why she was deposed. She was too
strong for them, and that is all there
is to it.

AN Sorts of Opinions
Think For Yourselves.


President Hadley preached the an
nual 1natriculation sermon to the stu
dents Of Yale University. He chose for
his text, Thou shalt love the Lord, thy
God, with all thy heart and with all
thy soul and with all thy mind" and
in part said:
There are two sides to q mans re-
ligious life; an emotional side and an
intellectual side. His heart and his
mind must act together. He must in
tend to follow the right as he sees it,;
he must also take the trouble to see it
as 1t is. "A one-sided religion, which
develops the heart without the head
or which develops the head without the
heart, is of little use to the individual
or the world about him.
"If we had to choose between the two
things. the religion Of the heart and the
first is more fundamental. "A man must
intend to do right rather than to pur-
sue his own selfish ends. He must
love his God and his neighbors more
than he does himself. The attempt to
construct a social or philosophical sys-
tenn where the spirit Of devotion shall
be omitted, and enlightened selfshness
shall be made to take its place, always
has failed and always will fail.
"A man whose heart and soul are
wrong can not become religious by put
ting his mind and strength upon it; and
no one who faces the facts squarely
really thinks that he can. But there are
some people who, consciously or I'M
consciously, make the opposite mistake
who think that man may be re-
ligious by intending to do right
without putting his mind upon 1t. This
is a practical danger that we have to
face every day of our lives. 1t is not
enough to intend to do right. 1t is
not enough to do right when we hap
pen to see 1t. We must arrange to see
things as they are; we must think out
the consequences of our doing to our
selves and to others.
THE public opinion of college or a
country is the aggregate of moral
judgments of the individuals who con-
stitute it. Every time that you face a
moral issue squarely you help to Gre
ate public opinion. The college is gov
erned by the men who take the trouble
to think. AS l look back on my own
college days I am astonished to find
how overwhelmingly true this was
