GREAT NAMES THAT DIE OUT
Historical Families In the United
States Have Not often Perpetu-
ated Themselves.

In the United States historical
families do not perpetuate them.
selves. Today in public life in the
United States there is not single
man who bears the name of any man
who played a part in the Revolution,
or whose name was appended to the
Declaration of Independence, or who
sat in the convention that framed
the Constitution. There are in pub
Vic life a few, very few, men who
can trace their descent collaterally to
Colonial times; but the possessors of
historical names have gone. Neither
in statecraft nor diplomacy is there
Washington, an Adams, Jeffer-
son, a Madison, a Monroe, or Jack
son; there is no Franklin or Otis or
Hamilton or Sherman; no Marion or
Greene or Putnam or Lee. The men
whose genius welded the scattered
colonies into an empire and set the
infant nation on its way to greatness
either died chilless or left small fam
lilies. This is the statement made by
A. Maurice Low in the second vol
ume of '"The American People; a
Study in National Psychology" Mr..
Low also Tinds that the same phe-
nomenon in craftsmanship has its
counterpart in finance and COM
merce. The great bankers and mer-
chants and manufacturers of the
early days left no descendants. In
commerce as in public service, the
author says, the men who today DOM
mate are not the men who bear his
toric names, not the men who can
trace their descent back in an I'M
broken line to the first bankers or the
first iron masters or weavers, but the
men who have no kinship with these
founders of an industry; "new" men
in every sense of the word.

81, 100000 FOR IRRIGATION

Prescott, April Is. = Thirty
two thousand acres, beginning
five miles north of Prescott, were
purchased yesterday by JAMES
E. Watson, former Congress
men of Indiana, and associates
from the Santa Re Railroad.
Eighteen thousand acres are
grant lands and $4,000 are Gov
cred by Moqui scrip, forming
base Of the. largest reclamation
enterprise ever inaugurated in
Arizona.
The Santa Fe, Prescott &
Phoenix Railroad runs through
the center of the purchase for
twelve miles, The Wynkoop
ranch of 900 acres, near Point of
Rocks, was also purchased. 1t
covers Willow creek, where one
of the main water storage dams
will be built.
The rights of the old Massicks
dam, on Lynx creek, were also
bought. A second reservoir will
be created there. The waters OF
Granite creek will also be util
lied for the construction of q
dam on the Fort Whipp!e reser.
walton, Immediately north of the
city. The estimated cost Of
dams is 81, 250,000.
1t is given out that negotia-
tions are under way for the es
tablishment of a Government
school Of agriculture on the
lands.
The water shed of the Willow
creek dam is 700 square miles,
with an annual rainfall of eigh
teen inches.
The Lynx creek water shed is
larger, with heavier rainfall.
l.. E. Harris, assistant engineer
of construction of the Roosevelt
dam, has inspected the project
three times since last August,
when be was first attracted by
the enterprise.
Professor r. w. Cfot1ier of
the Territorial University at
Tucson has indorsed it, declar-
ing the soil among the most pro
lihc in the Territory, and, it is
said, has acquired large tract.
Watson's son and Major W. l..
Hargrove are here and will start
preliminary work on the con-
strUction of the Willow creek
dam at once.
The Willow creek reservoir will
create the most desireable sum-
mer resort in Arizona.

The Common School Purpose

DR.. Nightengale, the retiring
County Superintendent in Chi
cago, has just made his report,
which moves the Chicago Tri-
bune to ask: What but bad
citizens, foolish or neglectful
parents, Indifferent or venal
electors, unfaithful or slethful
officials are to be bred up under
such conditions?" The report
must be very discouraging to
move our esteemed contempo-
rary to speak thus. 1t goes on
still further still to specify:
can unsightly and ill-kept
scheolyard is the germ of the
ugly, unsanitary and 'wasteful
village, town, city or State; lax
discipline in the schoolrooms is
preparation for lawlessness in
the village, the city,, the nation.
Dull teaching is the foundation
of political and social indiffer
ence."
The conclusion that this Ian
gsage warrants is that the coun-
ty schools IN the Chicago terri
tory have lost sight of their pur-
pose altogether; that the idea
chat they hold any responsible
relation to the public welfare is
utterly ignored. When the
schools reach that condition, not
a dollar should be given them.
It would be better to turn edu-
cation back to the old channels
where anybody could start a
school aud where anybody could
attend who paid the tuition.
We are quite certain our own
schools have not. reached any
thing like that depth, bat it is.
well enough to keep ourselves
reminded of the real purpose o
q common school-that it is for
the public good.

Phoenix Goes Wet

Maricopa county voted on
local option TUESDAY, and as a
result Phoenix is the only wet
spot in the county. The city
voted wet by a majority of 32O
votes out of total poll of 2409.
The drys carried the second
by Is votes. Wickenburg goes
dry by So to 38, Tempe dry, 139
to 95; Mesa dry, 148 to 119. 1t
is believed that every precinct
in the county outside Of Phoenix
has voted dry. The total ma
jority in the county for the Drys
will be about 1000.
