KEEP RECLAMATION Projects iLwE.

II IS definitely stated that the money
with which to carry on the reclamation
projects has been expended and that
more must be provided or the work be
stopped. 1t is also stated on authority
that the president will ask congress to
issue bonds to the amount of ten mill
lions in order that the work will con-
tinue. 1t is we'll remembered that the
announced policy of the reclamation
lists was to make the projects pay their
own way by sales OF land However,
the many projects opened and the mag
nitude Of the work to be done seems
to have been underestimated and per-
naps i'll considered. At any rate the
reclamation service is at the end of its
present resources and lacks funds. 1t
must have money or stop a large num-
Der of its projected plans. many of
which are actively under way.
And it is in a position where it can
scarcely stop. Thousands of persons
have bought these lands under the
pledge of the government and are wait
ing for water. Were the work to stop
1t would involve a great number Of
these purchasers and cause much loss
and hardship to class that should be
assisted and protected. The pioneer
settler is not the one who should suf-
fer President Taft is right when he
asks for aid. They need it and ought
to get it.
The government must, however, lose
the interest on these bonds as the debt
for lands purchased is non interest
bearing 1t seems that it can well at
ford 10 do SO If by the loss of the
interest on ten millions vast acre
age Of arid lands may be rendered pro-
ductive and prolific to the support of
a large population the real government
must be gamer and the investment a
good one 1t is likely that nearly every
one who has given the matter Of re-
clamation close attention expected that
ala would be asked and would be forth
coming as all expected that the esti-
mates of the cost of the Panama canal
would prove altogether TOO low. Any
way, charity begins at home in the
arid lands instead of the isthmus.

from the fingers on one hand, it being
remembered that primitive people al

Excuse for this Encouragement is
found in the Psalmist's limit of life of

tc prominence. He lived there. The
city was proud of him. And near Du-
buque and along the mightiest river OF
the continent rise many great rock
faced bluffs as fit to mark the memory
of a modern senator and statesman as
ever pyramid to perpetuate the name OF
a pharaoh. Why not put Allison's name
across the face of one of these? No
monument built amid the pollution of
a market place could compare with 1t.
Everywhere over Iowa natural mon
uments exist The shores of the Mis-
sissippi and the Missouri lend them
selves to the plan. From Dubuque
north to the state line the opportunity
is magnificent. Imagine, on the face
of that mighty bluff that rises out CT
the point on the Iowa side where the
river sweeps in a curve away from
Lansing, the name of Allison in gold
across the rocky facet of the eternal
cliff! What greater and more enduring
monument could human desert or even
human vanity crave?
When the history of our time has
grown pale in the light of the great
centuries and their achievements that
are crowding upon the heels of this
age splendid mountain peak will keep
the name of its discoverer safe from the
tooth of time in the snow capped fast
nesses of its cloud hung peaks. While
a mountain lasts the name of Zebulon
Pike is likely to endure. In the earlier
days of the Republic we thus remein
bered service. The names of the coun-
ties organized in the states carved out
of the Purchase are roster of military
and civic servants. Long after the
monument at the capital has crumbled
and fallen Mt. Washington will point
aloft and the state that bears his nam e
give witness of the first president.
A pile of brick and granite and
mortar seems puny in comparison.
Why not use our monuments ready to
our hands?

What we call evolution or civiliza-
ton or progress is better described by
a shorter word, and that word is God.
Correctly speaking, there is no such
thing as a dead language. lost art
or dead science. Anything that has
thought in it is and always was i'm
mortal. Egyptian architecture crops
out in our modern buildings Hike the
granite cliffs on the Atlantic coast The
language Of Virgil or Plato rhymes
in Bryant's poetry and carries Spen-
GERS philosophy as in a chariot OF
gold. Around dorado Tafts latest
achievement in sculpture in our in
stitute are the models Of works created
5000 years ago. And of all unbelief that
is the most paralyzing that would erase
the first two words from the Lords
prayer. There is not blade of grass
that does not seem to have stretched
its fingers to a point in reaching 90
ward the sky. And thus in US all the
better nature reaches upward after the
father. Think what we will, life always
follows the highest faith.

olution of social habits and reconstruc-
thing which the politician, the econ
omist and the moralist are alike unable
to grasp. They are facts SO tremen-
dous that they can neither be under
stood nor estimated at this nearness;
we must wait until the middle of the
twentieth century before the story Of
the mighty revolution, the dramatic
character, not of the reform, but of this
social reconstruction, can be adequate
ly told At close study, every thought
full man can see that it is not a wave
movement, a passing excitement, few
erish reform, but something that has
come to stay, something that repre-
sents the better judgment, something
necessitated by the present comprehen-
sion of the laws of nature, the demands
of economy and the higher interests OF
the state.
What led to this reform? The hetero-
geneousness of the southern white pop
ulation, the absence of the so-called
foreign" element, the essential rural
character of the population, the abb
sence of big cities the manifest police
necessity to remove the maddening in
spiration beyond the reach of the
brutal indolent element in the recently
enfranchised race, all contributed to-
ward this triumph in the southland.
But back of all this and more funda-
mental than any of these lies the fact
that the schoolmaster and the minis
ter have been listened to.
