Have Names Enough to Make Story.

Have Names Enough to Make a Story
Incredible as it may seem, there are
enough characters in the cigar, cigar
cite and tobacco industry to write a
story that carries a hero around the
world. George G. Dopp, of the Omar
cigar store, San Diego, Cal, is the
author of the following, wherein Don
Rosa" leaves his native city, shoots
things up abroad and returns to Am
erica by way of "Egyptienne

IRRIGATIONISTS BAR
SWAMP DRAINAGE

| ways will be the greatest factor in the
upbuilding of the western country; in
| fact, | may say without fear of sue
cessful contradiction that there is nc
other agency associated with the de-
velopment of agriculture in the West,
using the geographical term in it's
| broad sense, which compares or ever
will compare with the practice of in
telligent irrigation.
''The chief function of the National
Irrigation Congress is the reclamation
of waste lands by irrigation. 1t can
not be converted into drainage as
ISOLATION by mere sweep of the pen
or a rising vote. Moreover, the two
movements can never be satisfactor-
lily merged.
Mature fixed the boundaries ages
before man dreamed of working out
the problems of relieving the land
Of it's surplus water or Of delivering
water by artificial means to the thirsty
soils, and, the difficulties presented
in attempting to amalgamate geograph-
ical differences appear to be insur-
mountable. 1t is wholly impractical
BILE, to say nothing of being impolitic
and unWise.
"The swamp land drainage crusade,
covering 80,O00,0O0 acres of wet lands
in 35 states, is a proposition SO big
and involves SO many millions of dol
lars and such vast interests, individual,
state and national, that it must in
spire the biggest Drained men that
could be interested in it's development.
Again and again has the National Irri-
cation Congress by resolutions called
the attention of the government to the
need for early action.
Personally, do not know west
ern man who is not willing and anxi-
GUS to contribute in every way to
arouse the entire nation, but especial
ly the President and the United States

five and seriously wounding three of
the assailing party.
The marauders were attracted by the
guns and ammunition in Ibarra's store,
as well as the silver bullion he was re-
ported to have on hand The store
keeper had warning of their approach
and barricaded the doors of the strong
ly built adobe shop. He telephoned
to this city for rurales, but the bandits
made their attack before the rurales
were scarcely more than started.
Ibarra and Sonora Ibarra, both
familiar with the use of firearms,
crouched behind the small, barred
windows of the shop and poured a
deadly fire on their attackers The
latter fed, leaving five dead and three
wounded on the field.

from the failure of our involved meth
DDS of law-making
But his remedy, that of giving the
courts, or the executives the power
to make laws, is not the democratic
remedy The placing of the Legislative
power in the courts; as it is placed by
the usurpation of our courts of the
right to veto legislative action as "un-
constitutional" is not a remedy. 1t
has proven in practical use failure.
The action of the commerce court,
quite recently, in emasculating the
Cummins amendment to the Interstate
commerce act is a case of failure The
action of the New York court in saying
how the tobacco trust should reorgan-
ize is another admitted failure.
To place such power in the hands
of bodies like our federal courts
who are responsible to dead tradi-
tional rather than to the living de-
mocracy; whose Scotistic reasoning is
based upon atrophied precedent rath-
er than the dynamic present and who
sit, sheltered from actual part in
strenuous life until death, or high
crimes do them part from their
ermine, is to strike at the foundations
of the republic.
De Toqueville long ago prescribed
the remedy: 1.-THE curse for the evils
of democracy is more democracy"
England maintains a democracy, by
the simple eXpedient of making her
really legislative body directly re-
sponsible to the people, and by having
a living constitution working doc
ument, which changes as the laws
change.
The American way is different. 1t
is by the use of the initiative, the refer
endum and the recall, that American
democracy, as manifested in pro-
gressive states works it's will.
In Oregon the leader of the pro-
gressive states, this form has worked
successful, without question. No
need there for legislative or judicial
usurpation of the inalienable right of
the people to make the laws.
There must be more democracy.
The people must have more power, not
less.
Mr.. Roosevelt confesses that the
present form is failure. The sub
stitution of the initiative, referendum
and recall-perhaps Of necessity in
some modified form, but certainly of
necessity maintaining the inalienable
right of the people to make their own
laws.
Initiative, referendum and recall! 1t
sounds mighty radical, but it is no
more radical than the proposal of the
former president, nor in it's most radi-
cal proposal, that OF judicial recall,
more radical than the spectacle of an
angry people now to be witnessed, ris
ing as one man and voicing deter
mined demand for the recall, not of
1ne judge, but of an entire court.

PHOENIX, Ariz, Nov. 23.-Benjamin
A. Fowler of Phoenix, president of the
18th National Irrigation Congress, is
unalterably opposed to merging that
organization with the swamp land
reclamation movement, supported by
railroads and other powerful inter
ests in the South, and is lining up the
forces in the western country to pre-
sent strong front at the annual meet
ing in Chicago, December to 9. Mr..
Fowler says in an authorized state
ment:
''The National Irrigation Congress
particularly interested in the Pacific
slope and intermountain states, yet
broad enough in it's scope and pur-
pose to cover the continent in the pol
icy of bringing the landless man in
touch with the manless land To de-
vote itself entirely to the reclamation
of swamp lands, as has been suggest
ed, would be suicidal, and to make
that it's chief work would not be in
keeping with it's name.
Far better would it be, if the South
is in earnest about making it's swamp
lands habitable, to organize a separate
association for the reclamation of
lands by drainage. The western
states would welcome such a move
ment and would gladly join hands with
the South and give financial assistance
as well as moral support and coopera-
ton.
Il do not hold a brief for the West,
so | do not speak officially for the
numerous interests; but from what I
know of the people and from CONVEX
sations I have had with leaders in
irrigation and actuaI irrigation farm
ers, | should say that the merger
movement will arouse strong opposi-
tion at the Chicago meeting.

over year, and the community has

justify the investment. Why not use
it? Why not issue a daily?
In spite of the anxiety on the part
of Mr.. Fields, and his "57 varieties
of reasons why the citizens of Mos
Daily Star-Mirror will attend to it's own
business, accepting the liberal patron
age of the citizens as an indication Of
a desire on the part of Moscow peo-
pie to support such daily as town
the size of Moscow can support. Mos
COW citizens generally do not have the
same solicitude for the welfare of
Lewiston and Spokane dailies as does
Mr. Fields, and these prefer small
home daily that is loyal all the time
to Moscow, to any big daily that de-
votes its energy to the upbuilding of
another community at the expense of
Moscow.
In conclusion, let Mr.. Fields be not
disturbed over the vision of financial
failure. We are not spending any of
his money. If we go broke it will be
none of his funeral. And as to adj
most Of the business men of
Moscow are even now advertising
their own business without any adj

whose business success has not yet
startled the world. People who desire

that they should not. And the Star

OUR PURE FOOD LAWS.

| There should be no letup in the en-
| forcement of the pure food laws OF
| the state. This is the one paramount
question, touching vitality every in
dividual of whatever age. The aver
| age person cannot possibly know
whether or not the food he or she buys
is pure or impure, or to what extent,
if impure, it is injurious to health.
Take milk, for example. 1t is pri-
marily the food of helpless and in
nocent children, onen of the baby
where the mother is unable to supply
the needs of her offspring. And sup
pose the milk is impure? Equally i'm
pOrtant is it that the meat supply be
pure, and that hotels and restaurants
use due precaution in providing pa
irons with sanitary food. Pure food
is the one issue in which all the peo-
pie are vitality interested, and the one
support of the people. We should
understand that public official like
Pure Food Commissioner Wallis is
rendering service more valuable than
any mere salary the people may pay.
and that his relentless enforcement of
the law is a fight in which each of us,
and every one of us, is interested. 1t
is our fight, and the man who is ma
king it for the people deserves no lit
tie credit
If any change is made in this law
let it be to strengthen and broaden it
to meet the ends calculated to be
served. The people are entitled to
pure food, or at least to know when
food is pure and when impure. We
are entitled to protection in things so
vital as life and health. We are en-
titled to know that the things we eat |
are exactly what they purpose to be, |
and our pure food laws should be so
that manufacturers of food |
products will not dare impose on the
public.

so that they might have a song they
could march by at Sunday School pic
MICS as they were too poor to hire a

it once broke back the thumb of the

braces on his wrist in order that it
might not happen again. The bells
are made in the best bell factories
in the world

a whole day, companies coming from
all England and first one plays and
then the other. Finally in great
