SANER CELEBRATIONS
FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Chicago, Feb 14-For a saner
fourth in 1911 than the sane fourth
of 1910 and more of celebration
of independence than an orgy of
noise, the Chicago organization has
got away early and energetically
with proclamation. Last year the
fourth was observed in Chicago
with a historical pageant with a
Washington, Lincoln and real
soldiers to the number of several
thousand. But: THE historical
pageant of 1910 projected by Prof.
Francis w. Shepardson accomplish
ed its splendid purpose" says the
proclamation uttered after a con-
ference at the Union League Club
where patriotism always is audible.
yet it must not be forgotten that
lection of life, limb and property
through the promoters of a con-
structive, in lieu Of destructive,
| type of celebration of independence
day." 1t was decided that either a
brilliant pageant or band concert
by the best band that can be secured
shall be the big attraction at Grant
park, that every nationality partici-
pate in the downtown celebration
and at the small parks and play
grounds. Folk songs and dances of
various nationalities are to be given.
i For instance, if playground is To-
Gated in a Bohemian neighborhood
the idea is to ask Bohemian societies
to conduct the celebration. An at
tempt will be made to supply bands
for all of the small parks and play.

lower levels of the land in the form
of seepage, and this water eventual
ly finds its way back TO the channel
Ouentimes continuous flow is
CT part of the season. We may rea-
scnably look forward to the time
when our rivers shall become as cas-
lily and effectively managed as the
water in the distribution pipes of the
large cities. in the course of time
we may hope that by the extension OF
irrigation and the conservation o,
Hood waters, the Missouri river may
have it's flood height reduced and its
high water periods materially cur
tailed. Eventually from the same
causes, We may expect to see the low
/ water stage improved by the return
OF seepage water to the river from
tributary streams and reservoirs, at
ter this water has performed useful
| work in the way of irrigation.
Among other benefits we may ex-
! pect from irrigation is the support,
in comfort and plenty Of the dense
population, on areas that are now
used principally for grazing purpos-
es. This will mean a family on ev-
cry so acres of land, with small in
divjdual holdings rather than large
landed estates A high grade of cit
izenshlp will be maintained because
the family VIII be land owner
rather than a renter.
For the purposes of comparison
let us assume that, with the highest
development of irightion methods,
there will eventually be brought un-
der irrigation five million acres OF
land in this section. This will near
a population of over one million
people supported by irrigation alone
The property valuation will be HARD
to estimate, but it will run anywhere
from 25 to SO million dollars, ant
perhaps far more.
The big ranch with it's great arei
of untitled pasturage is being divided
into smaller tracts to meet the de
mands of new settlers. With tn,
extension of irrigation We may lool
forward to the time when small
farm units, intensely cultivated, viii
produce crops of high value Thi
will mean compact rural settlement
, with improved highways, schools an,
, churches. 1t viii mean an increased
population of prosperous contentet
people, and the luxuriees and enjoy
t ments of urban life will replace tn
+ comparative isolation of the farm.

Washington, Feb l4-Support of

insofar as their voices and votes

cause Of the popular government

sarly the initiative and referendum

addressed to Senator Bourne by
that paper, setting forth that Dele
gate Ralph p Cameron had notified
the people of the territory that ii
the constitution were ratified in the
form proposed, the delegate was
convinced that it would fail of ap.

dent.
1t was with no small satisfaction
that the senators named received
the news that their telegram of re-
assurance apparently had not beer
without effect, as the constitution
was ratified yesterday by a large
majority.

STATE DEPARTMENT
TO RE RILED

Lame Duck" members of congress

toner's basket on March 4th, next.

proach Of the end Of the session, the
rumblngs portending disturbance

The upheavel is expected to CEN

missals, demotions, and transfers will
be the manifestations, it is believed,
of the workings of the inner machin-
cry.
The clouds seem to be gathering
thickest about the head of Henry
Lane Wilson, of Spokane, WASH, Am
bassador to Mexico. Wilson was pro-
NOTED to his present post from the
legation at Brussels, largely through
the efforts of his brother, who is
we'll known as newspaper owner in
Washington state.
1t is said that Mr. Wilson has been
most unfortunate in the effect his
work has produced upon Secretary
| Knox. 1t is admitted that his po-
sition has been a trying one, owing
to the revolutionary and anti-Ameri-
can disturbances in Mexico which
have ben growing more serious since
last summer. Yet, the fact remains
unsatisfactory. Whether he will be
dismissed or transferred is a matter
yet undecided; the latter alternative
is said to be likely.

Strauss as ambassador to Turkey

for his successor. No one has bee

The Placing of Public Monuments.

The art commission OF New York city

its annual report to intoxicating the de-
sira bleness of providing suitable sites

Very justly and wisely SO. The effect OF

even architecturally considered, may be
quite ruined and nullified by placing
them where they cannot be really effect

which is not in Itself above mediocrity

Nay. apart from its associations, why
should American or Briton not frankly
own that the transept of Westminster
Abbey is little, If at all. less comical, or, II
you choose. less tragical. than the Cham
