The FiIIinq of the Dam.

Before the Roosevelt dam was con structed there were pessimists who believed it would not be worth while. as il would never fill. But last sum mer it did fill to its greatest extent then. about 125 feet The valley was saved, the pessimists believed. by a scratch That was d phenomenon which was likely never to happen again. When the level lowered in the fall these same pessimists came to the front again. Their fears were about to be realized and they them selves were about to be vindicated By no possibility could the water supply be replenished. They forgot the other dry winters when there was no way of storing such accidental floods as might come.
 But again is the prosperity of the valley assured for another year, in greater measure than the most san
 
 far greater than that with which the farmers started the last successful season, and beside the watershed is in great part blanketed with snow.
 The filling of the dam is now ad- mitted not to be a phenomenon. Henceforth if it should come to pass in any year that the water supply should be insufficient. that would be a phenomenon indeed. one that the youngest of us will never live to see. Much more reliable is the rain and the snow on the watershed than the rains which fall in those regions that know not irrigation.

One word more frequently used by the insurrecto leaders in their mani festoes is "mimiliation" That is their principal grievance against the existing order of things. The pre- else kind of. humiliation is not de- Scribed, but We suppose that the dis appointment of the American office seeker is akin to the 'huimiliation" of his Latin American neighbor who has not succeeded to office Failure patronage are the most fruitful causes of insurrection in any country.

Finances and Markets

New York. March 4-The stock ! market was irregular today with an upward tendency in spite of the dif- faculties which beset the bullish oper- ators but few material net gains were recorded at the close. Approximations of an extra session congress with its possibilities of tariff changes over shadowed all other influences and made the market nervous.
 United States Rubber and General Electric was weak The weakness of General Electric was attributed to the filing of a federal suit. under the antitrust law. against q number of electrical companies alleged to he in control Of General Electric. Copper shares made d good showing despite the indifference in trade conditions and expectations that the forthcom- ing statement of the producers will reveal a falling off in both domestic and export business.

Democrats and the Tariff.

That the republicans in congress are divided on matters of govern mental policy must be conceded Whether the democrats will be so sharply divided is yet to be seen. but there is already a sharp division over a question of expediency. the imme- diate and comprehensive revision of the tariff
 Few. if any. democrats will be brought to say that the tariff should be let alone. All are for revision, but the greater number of them prefer to take their time to this great task They believe. though they do not openly say so. that the effect ef the revision should not begin too lon. before the next national election; that it would be better that that great con- test should take place before the test should be completed.
 The majority of democrats in con gross. those who may be classed as conservatives, arc of this opinion, as has been shown by their desire to avoid an extra session and the as- sistance which they have rendered in carrying out the wishes of the presi- dent with respect to the Canadian treaty.
 Senator owen. however. is not a conservative. He is a representative of the radical wing in both houses which wants to get at the revision O. the tariff at the earliest moment
 It may be expected that in the event of an extra session, which now seems inevitable, the insurgent republicans will join the democratic minority, but that is by no means certain as to the entire insurgent body While some of the progressives are earnes, tariff reformers, others are not. but allied themselves in favor of tariff reform as the Hest- available rallying point.
 While members of congress of all parties and factions have viewed the extra session with varying emotions. President Taft has looked upon it with serenity, regardless alike of the party advantages or party disadvan- tagcs which may ensue from it. caring only that the policies which he be- lieves will be beneficial to the whole country shall be carried out

It will be just like the enemies of Mir. Lorimer to say that in moving to strike out the item in the general deficiency bill reimbursing him for his expenses in defending his title to his seat. he probably gave way to the habit of paving all earlier expenses in connection with the senatorship.

One woman. suffragette. is in ia vor of the harem skirt. It would facilitate the work of the militanf suffragette. She also believes that women generally would like it, once they got used to it. As suffragette garment it would perhaps be just the thing, but the latter observation only shows how little the speaker knows of women and fashions. If women should stick to one style until they got used to it, fashions would never change
