More than 100, 900 acres of land,
exclusive of government projects,
will be added to the irrigated area
in eastern and north central Wash
ington this year, and arrangements
are also underway to put water on
thousands of acres of land in
Northern Idaho and Oregon, West
ern Montana and southeastern
British Columbia AS most of
these lands will be devoted to APP
pies, peaches, pears and plums, it
is estimated that from 100000 to
10, 900, 900 trees will be planted
during the next fourteen months,
giving employment to hundreds OF
men in various parts of the Inland
Empire this spring, next fall and
the spring of 1910.
Reports are also current in Spo-
kane that the federal government
will take up the Benton and Kitti-
projects, ST. 800 acres, in Yakima,
Klickitat and Benton counties, al
ready reported upon by the Rec

that the Palouse projects, because
of the lack of funds, will receive
attention this year. Other gov

be taken up include $4,000 acres
in the Ellensburg district, 100000
acres in the Rattlesnake and Coal

ed cost of $50, O0O,O 900, which is
prorated among the owners of the

government liberty means law
properly enforced, otherwise each
might interpret liberty to suit his
own purposes. If after the scnti-
mcnt of a majority is CrystalliZed
into laws those laws could be dis
regarded by the selfish few the
privilege of the few would be great
or than the rights of many. If
each man had the right to ignore
any law not to his liking the result
would be anarchy, not liberty; for
then each would take and hold
whatever his strength and courage
could secure to him, and perpetual
warfare would result as the wants
and desires of men came into con-
tlict. individual liberty and rights
of property are born of legal res
traints bv means of which every
man may be protected within pre-
prescribed limits. The corporation
magnate should realize that he
must give that respect to the law
regulating the conduct of his cor
poration. The anarchy of capital
breeding contempt for law should
no more be tolerated than the
anarchy of labor breeding riot and
disorder. That lawlessness begets
anarchy, whether at the top OF
society or at the bottom of society,
is becoming an accepted tact;
that men, no matter how great
their wealth. must be obedient to
law, as we'll as the poorest of men,
and that the greatest corporation
in the land must be subject to the
statutes, as we'll as the smallest
business, is a demand of the new
era.

they the law like anyone else such
was their political power that they
replaced him at the next election
with one more subscryicnt to their
will. They are now learning that
they must do business according to
law or they will not be allowed to
do business at all In places where
they had no option but to obey the
law they are protesting a whole
some respect for the law. In some
places the lesson has been taught
thoroughly, and in others they are
still learning it.
This public conscience is teach
ing a respect for law OH the part of
all. The people have learned that
in republic the government rests
entirely upon that which the people
made for themselves through their
representatives. The only sovcr-
eign we have in this country is law.
If the law is not enforced then the
liberty of majority of the people
to make law is taken away to the
extent that their will is nulltled.
Liberty to make laws does not
mean license to break q W S.
License is not liberty. Liberty to
make our own laws carries with 1t
the duty to observe them. 1t IS a
false idea of liberty that would have
it imply drunkenness, anarchism
and unbridled wickedness. One
might say that this is not a tree

other things which are permitted

SO this public conscience goes
on, day by day, correcting some
evil, and day after day remcdying
some wrong. It's energies have
been extended from the domain of
the public WrongdOcr to that of the
private wrOngdoer, and after prob
ing into the workings of rasCalS of
every kind it has commenced to as
sail the deeper evil of special priv
lege. Conscience revolts against
privilege, whether it be the privi-
lege of lawlessness or the special
privilege conferred by law.
While every wrong in business
should be prosecuted care should
be taken not to destroy the good
with the bad. I do not mean eau
ton in Furnishing wrong, but care,
lest in striking blindly at wrong
|
doing the innocent be injured with
the guilty. The man who would
expose and punish no wrongdoing
is an extremist, as we'll as the man
who would pull down the good in
order the easier to get at the bad
1t takes no judgment to be an eX-
tremst, but to weigh things, and
to determine the bad and the good &,
require thought and care. Let us
assall not men, but the evil men
do; not business, but the evil-dOers
in business. The only way to stop
evil, either public or private, is to
turn OH the light, and let the peo-
pie know who the rasCals are.
Publicity is the best remedy for
civic wrongs, for through publicity
the public conscience is aroused,
and the remedy for Indicators of
every kind after all is in the con
science of the people. The peni-
tentiaries might be filled with
wrongdoers, but if the people were
Indifferent evil would go on just
the same. On the other hand very
600. ,,;c1o+,.e cf 1o,,- &c l,ior1, ,lan,aa
might wear stripes, yet if the peo-
pie are aroused Wrongdoing can be
ended by the mighty power of the
public conscience. With the ma
tional conscience clean the national
life must be clean. No, ! do not
believe it hurts either a state, a
nation or business to punish wrong
doing. If things had gone on as
they were a few years ago, when
bribery reigned, when lawlessness
was looked upon with Indifference,
when special privilege seemed inn
perviOus to attack, then the end of
the RebubliC itself might have been
prophesied, for we were going the
way other republics have gone that
has passed to their death. The
republics that have tottered off the
stage of the world into oblivion did
not die for lack of material wealth,
but for want of moral health; they
ceased to exist not for lack of
money, but for lack of morals.
First came class privileges, then
vice, then decay. Material pros
perity cannot be permanent unless
accompanied by moral prosperity.
Every nation that has existed, and
this nation today, rests not npOn
the wealth of the few, but upon the
character and integrity of the aver
age man.

Arthur N. Sheriff of Chicago is an
inspiration to other youth. He is a
messenger boy and goes to Yale as an
honor student. When he was IL condi-
tions were such that he was compelled
to leave school to earn a living. He
went to work in a newspaper off1ce as
a messenger boy. He had a score or
so of bosses" and learned to please
them all. Between errands he read
Macauley's History Of England and the
complete works Of Dickens, Thackeray
and Tennyson. He learned Spanish by
translating a book with the aid of a
Spanish English dictionary. -- a
An editor in the office read in the
dispatches that Arthur N. Sheriff had
won a Yale scholarship and was as
founded to learn it was the messenger
boy. The youth was surprised. but
controlled himself sufficiently to ask
for a half hours vacation so he could
run home and tell his mother the good
news.
There are many sons OF the rich.
with all the supposed advantages of
their position--who are unable to win
Yale scholarships. IL young Sheriff
had been born wealthy he probably
would not have attained the distin-
guished honor.
There are worse things than poverty
for young man who has grit and
energy and brilliant mind.
