DRAIN THE SWAMPS AND
OVERFLOW LANDS" SLOGAN

Chicago, H., Mar. 81 = Drain the
swamp and overflow lands of the
United States is slogan of the Ma
tionaI Irrigation cngress which par
ticularly interests those states having
large bodies OF land which require
drainage for their reclamation. The
drainage question is one which inter-
ests every state In the Union and is
causing all sections Of the country to
take unusual interest in the nineteenth
annual meeting of the National lrriga-
ton Congress at Chicago, December
5 to 0.
This great development organization
has been one Of the leaders in the
work to have the overflow lands re-
claimed through cooperation OF ma
tlonal, state and individual efforts un-
der a plan similar TO that by which re-
clamation through irrigation has ac-
complished such wonders throughout
the western states Special attention
will be given this year at the Chicago
meeting to this matter which is OF such
direct interest to the states of the
south and middle west.
At the Pueblo meeting last year the
Irrigation Congress adopted a resolu-
tion regarding drainage as follows.
Recognizing the economic waste and
menace to the public health connect
ed with our vast areas of swamp and
overflow lands, we request our repre-.
sentatives in the federal congress to
take suitable action looking toward
the reclamation Of such lands under a
policy corresponding with that Of the
reclamation of arid lands by irrigation
under the reclamation service; such
reclamation of swamp and overflow
lands to be carried forward through
cooperation between Individual own
ers, states and the federal govern
ment."
At the Chicago meeting special eff.
forts will be made to further this
policy

 Mrs. Davis, who travelled thirty three days from Japan to testify for her son, came hore to give testimony tending to show that Major General Elliot had for a long time persecut- ed Major Davis on trivial matters i'll order that he might have him dis missed from the Marine Corps.
 Major Davis took the stard. He testified that he had been in the Ma rine Service for twelve years and had served in the Spanish-American War as a second lieutenant. He had been suspended while at Pensacola, Fla, shortly after he had re-enlisted in 1905, because Congressman Coz zens had petitioned the War Depart ment for his removal to more de- sirable post. He had not asked Coz zens to make this request. He told of an incident at Honolulu when he had failed to report to ths comman- dant upon his arrival there. Major Davis was cross-examined oy Major Leonard, the Judge Advocate. After a summing rp of the testimony by Jo- seph ?. Rogers <on behalf of the de- fense and Major Leonard for the pros ecution the court martial adjourned until tomorrow, when 1t is expected that a sealed verdict will be for warded to the Secretary of the Navy.

MOTHER DEFENDS MAJOR OF

Mrs. Davis Says General Elliot Ours.
 ed Her Son as No Good.

Philadelphia, Jan. 25.-"I went to Washington to see Major General El- liot about transportation to Guam. He told me my son was no good, in efficient, lazy and not fit for and a disgrace to the Marine Corps. He said: Damn him, I will get him be- fore the court and get his commis- sion. testified Mrs. Elva M. Davis, mother of Major Henry c. Davis of the Marine Corps, who is being tried Navy Yard. He is charged with in- subordination. Most of the charges are preferred by Major General FL liot.
 Mrs. Davis also testified that after she had had her interview with Gen. eral Elliot she wrote to the Secretary of the Navy and obtained the trans pOrtation to see her son in Guam. "I wrote the Secretary of the Navy that this was the worst brainstorm Gen. eral Elliot had had in years" she continued. "I told him that his lan- guage was so vile that officers and friends of officers were afraid to call upon him. I talked to General FL liot as if he were a child. He was rude, his actions were offensive and he used bad language toward me. The interview was very short, very strong and very insulting. I be- came hysterical when General Elliot said my son was immoral and worth less. Throughout he showed ami mostly toward my son.

CRIMINAL cARELEssNEss.

bulletin issued by the American
Health Association states that 1000
persons were killed in the United
States last year by having taken
poisonous drugs by mistake. 1t is a
custom with many people to leave
poisonous drugs within the reach of
children, and the result is that hun
dreds of them are sacrificed annually
by this act of negligence alone. 9th
ers take no precautions to distinguish
medicines like strychnine, which are
OF value in proper doses, but fatal
when taken too freely, from the harm
less medicines of similar appearance.
The result is the wrong box or bottle
is frequently picked Up and fatalities
follow One Of the most foolish prac-
tees is that frenquently INDUCED BIZ
many people Of taking medicine in the
dark; how many lives have paid the
penalty for this form of carelessness
It would be difficult to tell
The fact that 1000 lives are sacri-
feed TO pure carelessness every year
ought to rouse people to greater pre-
cautions in handling poisonous medi-
cines. Negligence Of this sort is not
only lnexcusable, but criminal.

Spring PerpIexities.

Register and Leader: These warm
er spring days bring their joys, but
they bring their perplexities also.
There is the perplexity of the fur
mace and the base burner stove. If
you keep the fire alive, the house gets
too hot; ii you let the fire 90 dead. the
house gets too cold. and there you are.
obliged to keep it nicely adjusted
'twixt life and death. Sometimes you
have to turn the hose on its fierce
flames, sometimes you have to get
down on your knees and blow gently
to fan its feeble spark.
Then there is the problem OF the
coal pile itself. Shall you take
chances on ton for your next order,
or shall you order two tons? You
hate like everything to tie up whole
1919 in ton of coal that will merely
lie in the bin all summer, and yet,
prudence on the other side says you

IoWA,S NEW SENATOR.

The long-continued deadlock in the
Iowa legislature over choice of a
United States senator was broken
yesterday by the election of Hon. w
S. Kenyon in the closing hours of the
session. This result, not altogether
unexpected. was attained on the sixty
seventh ballot and was brought about
by nineteen members OF the general
assembly switching from Judge Deem
er to the successful candidate
The outcome of the protracted con-
test assures Iowa highly creditable
senator Judge Kenyon is man OF
fine personal character and command
ing ability. He has long ranked as
one Of the shining lights of the legal
profession in the state and has to his
credit a complimentary list of note
worthy accomplishments as a prac-
titioner at the bar. For a term or two
he served as district Judge, in which
capacity he distinguished himself by
The display of judicial qualities of a
high order. More recently he has
been an assistant attorney general
of the United States engaged in the
prosecution of illegal combinations in
restraint of trade. In this capacity he
has been popularity known as the Of
fetal trust buster" of the Taft adj
ministration. His success in the pros
ecution of the packing house combine
in Chicago is a matter of current his
tory.
In point OF political affiliation and
standing he is understood to be a
moderate progressive, so-called
Quite probably as member of the
senate he will map out course for
himself between the two extremes
and pursue it consistently to the end
Both his character and ability mega
tive the idea that he will be, me
too senator. His brilliant talents
and valuable training qualify him for
leadership, and nothing is hazarded in
predicting that he will make his mar

the upper house at the national cap
