IRRIGATION BY PUMPING

One positive fact that is at
tributable to holding the Eighteen.
tn National Irrigation congress in
the Arkansas valley aud southern
Colorado this year has been the
impetus given and attention at
tracted to irrigation by pumping.
1t is felt, and attention is being
brought to the fact, that investors
and irrigation engineers should
look into the possibility of re-
claiming arid lands on the plains
by pumping. The acreage is vast,
and the soil, when watered, is fer
tile. The first question is whether
there is adequate supply, and the
next whether the cost of pumping
would be low enough to make VEN
lures of that kind profitable.
Tests have shown that a large
part of the Great Plains area is
underlaid with water, and there is
no doubt that in many localities
the supply is great enough to re-
claim, in the aggregate, a large
area of land.
Power for pumping can be sup
piled in two ways, either by power
stations, local or in the mountains
and conveyed by distributing
stations and lines to the place de-
sired; or by means of denatured
alcohol.-Pueblo Star Journal

DIRECT LEClSL ALTON

All constitutional amendments
are submitted to popular vote be-
fore they become effective. A
constitution is regarded as the
highest law of the commonwealth,
and yet no one complains of their
being adopted by the popular vote.
If the people are competent to
pass upon the highest law why
are they not sufficiently enlight-
ened to pass upon a statutory en-
actmentY
Gov. Hay, of Washington, is
opposed to direct Legislation Oh
the ground that "subvertion of
delegated representative Legislation
is a return to political barbarism."
He says: "The average voter is
not as we'll qualified as the average
legislator to act on matters of legis-
lation, and it is absurd to deny
this obvious truth"
Suppose We admit all the govern
or says. 1t is not the purpose Of
direct legislation to do away with
a Legislative body, composed Of
"men well qualified"
Experience has shown that too
many OF these well qualified
legislators are placed in office by
special monied interests and fail
to fulfill their obligations TO the
public and it is, therefore, by d.
rection legislation and the recall
that the public may have some re-
course and Gun secure such laws
as they wish.
Oregon has demonstrated that
the people can be trusted to legis-
late for themselves. One COM
plant against Oregon, is that ut
the next coming election some
twenty-five measures are 10 be
presented to the voters for their
approval. These critics do not
stop to consider how many hun
dretls Of bills are put before every
Legislative body for disposal and
how few are Of any general in
terest.

in my opinion would find an advan-

: But with all there has grown up in
the Constitution a tangled mass of
shams, and humbugs, and absurdi-
ties, such that one wonders how one
statesman can meet another without
laughing like the augurs of old.
One of these little points on which
the mind of politicians fasten, as be-
ing a concrete instance, is stirring at
the present time the members of the
House of Commons. The funeral ar
rangements were in the hands of the
Duke of Norfolk, who is the premier
Duke of England. The Duke is
quaint and picturesque figure-that is
to say what there is of his figure, for
he is very short, but of square build,
with an inordinary long black beard
and the look of man who is accus-
toned to ceremonious approach and
+. does not think much of it,
The Duke of Norfolk is a Catholic
and Is looked upon as sort of repre-
sentative of all the Catholics in Eng
I land. The Duke is one of those men,
I bers of the House of Lords who do not
-
| the word reformation brings to his
mind no very encouraging associa-
tons, or perhaps he thinks that the
t moment people begin "rnonkeying"
with the Lords, finding out what they
are made of and whence they derive
, their mandate, or their disregard Of
! such things-once in fact the light
Of reason plays on their Lordships-
! they are lost cats Consequently he is
q pillar of the party Of high conser-
vatism.
Now it so happened that when the
Duke arranged for the funeral cor
tege. he not only ignored the Com
mOHS aIlOsetneF, out ne ala not even
have a stand erected from which they
might view the procession. He gave
any member who cared to apply for
it a ticket allowing him to enter a
park where there were not even chairs,
; but where, by looking through the rail-
ings, he could see the pomp and pres
tige of the Empire represented.
The Commons are now breathing
: vengeance. Consequently there may
F: be pretty quarrel in the reassembled
House. But too often I have seen the
Commons peter out when Dukes have
spoken and royalty has given it's aug
I. ust approval.

and the Bengals took it as a good omen
for nine-tenths of the games they have
lost have been dropped when Old Sol

points separate the two teams which
will fight for the Eastern League
supremacy, and the series has attracted
widespread attention.
The races in the National and Ameri-
