The London suffragette who
attempted to stop King Georges
horse in the derby race last
Wednesday died from her injur
les, and now her comrades are
giving her the honors Of a mar
tyr who died for a great cause.
This woman no doubt was a luna
tic and was obsessed with the idea
that she was called upon to sac
rifce her life.

HAVE We CONGRESSIONAL wEAKlINGS!

The investigation going on IN
Washington to find out whether
the President was justified in his
intimation that there was a cor
rupt lobby at work at the capi-
tol to prevent tariff legislation
so far does not seem to have
made much headway in discov.
ering anything wrong. There is
no doubt that lobbyists have
been at work in Washington,
and they are still working in
matters for which they are in
terested. either by employment
or otherwise, and We doubt if
the congress can enact a law
which will prevent this practice,
we also doubt the wisdom of en-
acting such a law. Legislation
is a matter which is more or less
of interest to the many indus
tries of this country, and it
seems to US, those to be affected
by legislation have the right to
present their views, and to make
such a showing as will enlighten
those who must consider these
matters. It is all very well to
raise a storm about lobbyists,
designating them as the Third
House." but unless there is proof
of corruption by this lobby, it ap'
peals to US as a purely tommyrot.
There are some who would
have the representatives to shut
themselves up SO it will be i'm
possible for any communication
between them and those inter.
ested in legislation, and if this is
to be the rule. then it would be
we'll to have the law makers
guarded the same as jury in a
felony case. It has been testif.
ed to that representatives have
accepted the hospitality of men
interested in pending legislation,
that they dined with them, at
tended the theatre, and went au
tomobile riding with them. 1t
would be a terrible condition did
these courtesies affect one way
or another the sworn duty of a
representative, and surely if the
congress is made up of such a
class-men who could be turned
from their convictions by din
ner or a ride, the recent tidal
y e which swept a Democratic
majority into control, was a fear
full mistake, and the sooner it
returns to sweep it out Of control
the better it will be for the coun.
try. We do not believe there IS
anything to this hue and cry,

SENATORS ELECTED BY DIRECT VOTE.

The constitutional amendment
to elect United States Senators
by q direct vote of the people in
stead of by the several general
assemblies is now the law and IN
the future the senators will be
elected the same as the governor
and other officers, but in the
South the difference will hardly
be noted, because for the past
several years the senators have
been nominated in the primaries,
and the general assembly mere
~ ratified what was done by the
people directly. But in the North
and West it will be different, and
q State which will elect a Demo.
cras governor may send to the
United States Senate a Republi.
can or a Progressive or Social
ist. In all Of the northern and
western states, and, the same ap.
plies to the eastern states. the
voters are not bound hand and
foot with the party chains, they
vote for men and measures inde-
pendent of party; but IN the
south every white man is requlr-
ed to bend his back to receive
the lash, if he refuses, he is made
an outcast, and he is for years to
come done for. It would be a po'
litical blessing if the south was
situated so it too, could exercise
a freedom from the mandates OF
Bosses,-those who get in con-
troll of the political machinery
are as much Bosses as Tammany
had. Take, for example South
Carolina, what showing would a
man of independent views have,
he would be excoriated from one
end of the State to the other He
would be excommunicated from
the party if he did not agree
with the views of the leaders,
and if he attempted to run in a
general election. although not
having participated in the pri
mary, he would be treated as an
enemy. Therefore, we say so far
as the direct vote for senators is
concerned it does not matter to
those states which nominate IN
the primary, where there is only
one party.
The Yorkvilfe Enquirer, how
ever, thinks that because of this
new feature it is the more essen
tial to require the registration
certificates in the primary. The
Enquirer usually argues well,
but on this subject it has not
presented an argument which
conyinces US of the necessity.
We cannot see how the certih'
Gates can help rs chose a sena'
tor any more than a governor OF
a coroner, but we do see how q
large portion of the voters would
lose interest in the primaries il
they were required to hunt ul
their certificates to carry to the
clubs.

Suppose the State wins and the

have noticed that every time the

trusts the consumer becomes the

CHARLESTON VICE PROBLEM.

CHARLESTON VICE PROBLEM.
The fight to clean out the dens
Of vice IN Charleston from the
neighborhood of the Memminger
sch DOL continues with unabated
discussion. The Mayor has ex-
presseda willingness to cooper
ate with the Memminger Home
and School Association that has
complained as soon as a practl-
cal plan is presented to work
upon. The News and Courier Of
Monday editorially presents a
plan, by directing attention to a
city ordinance which has been
on the books for several years,
long before the administration
of those in power now. and these
same houses now complained of
existed before the adoption of
the ordinance, and have contin-
ued to exist. The Mayor IS ap'
+prehensive of pouncing down
upon the inmates of these inlqu
itous houses 10 the fear they will
scatter over the city and light in
among the honest and decent.
There is a good deal IN this, the
Objectionable creatures are now
where they have been for many,
many years, decent people do
not live in the neighborhood, and
avoid it, just as they would avoid
a pest, they avoid the neishbor-
hood where these barnacIes cling;
then the matter resolves down to
a question of what can be done
to make conditions better in the
neighborhood of the Memminger
school. According to the editor
of the News and Courier, street
by street, be reclaimed just as
street by street was the evil per-
mltted to spread. Theoretically
this is what should be done, but
practically how can street by
street be reclaimed without scat
ter,ng the evil over the city, just
what the Mayor fears will be the
result. 1t might be said, the Of
fcials can run them out Of the
the city altogether, and they
can, but if they did this it would
be unloading on other communi'
ties, probably some that are not
situated as we'll as Charleston to
harbor them.
But what We want to know,
why is it there is nothing being
said about the people who own
the properly which is rvuten 10
the complained Of creatures? IL
seems to US that they are to be
censured if they rent their prop
erty for such purposes, but we
do not see that they are. And IT.,
as has been stated these places
existed in the community for so
many years, it was d great over
sight on the part of the school
authorities to locate the school
auilding in such a neighborhood.
It may appear presumptious for
an outsider to give an express
sion in this matter as it is a 10
cal affair, but We feel an interest
in the effort being made by those
who wish to bring about better
conditions. and because we are
watching for results which we
are sure the city administration
as well as the association desir'
es. If the present agitation IN
Charleston results successfully
lit will be an object lesson to all
other cities similarly situated. 1t
will also prove of value to inland
cities where vice grows with
population.

The National Conservation Exposi-

so bountifully bestowed on the coun.

The site Of the exposition is in the

as number Of smaller buildings, will
house this exposition.
Railroads realize the Importance OF
the exposition and are cooperating in

displays in various lines will be the
largest, the most diversified, the most
interesting ever seen in any exposition
in the South; they will compare favor
ably with any exposition ever held in
the United States and they will all
teach graphically, eloquently and point

before the American people today.
And about all the South-the great

TOO MUCH IRRIGATION WATER

Mr. j. G. Wheelon, chief engineer of the
Utah-Idaho Sugar company, recently delivered an
address before the irrigation convention at Gar
land Utah. in which he seems to show conclusive
ly that some farmers Of this region are using more
irrigation water than they need and that the eff
feet of the policy is to take from the value of their
land, without giving them any additional benefits
in the crops they ra sing. Here is an extract
from Mr.. Wheeon's address;
Twenty-Five years ago the Bear river canals
Cor Boutwell," canals, as they were known few
years ago. began delivering water to its patrons
and as the company contracted to furnish water
at a duty of so TO the second foot or IL
acre.feet per season Of six months, they have
supplied water enough to cover the valley to
depth of 80 a feet This would have wetted to
complete saturaton Gf none had evaporated),
stratum Of earth about $50 feet N depth. Even
though much of this water has evaporated only
twelve years of operation required to make
such gains upon the natural process of emina
ton by seepage and evaporation that the ground
water table became permanently so near the
face as to seriously impair the prcductveness Of
the soil.
1t has long been the contention of both Pres!-
dent Widtsoe and Nj. Lewis A. Merrill that
quantity of irrigation water less than is common
y used will produce better results than found
with the present system. And all scientific practi
cal study Of the subject confirms their view.
Utah and southern Idaho have limited amount
OF water. There Is almost unlimited Of
land that needs irrigation There great pos
sibities in dry farming; but every dry farm needs
some water. Such things as homes and orchards
and summer gardens can not be hoped for in Who'll
ly dry tracts. There is water enough when the
states water are perfected, for every section
Of Utah And the same is true of the dry portions
of Idaho.
There must be a willingness the part of
present users to share their blessings with their
less fortunate neighbors, where this can be done
without actual injury to the original owners OF
water rights. In all and right they
titled all the they actually need for their
land. And in all reason and right they not
entitled to any more.
The dry sections of these states be reclaim
ed only by united and concerted action. In the
unity and fraternity of all trying to build up the
country, the ways must be found to this
invaluable element-water. Mr.. Wheelon has help
ed in the work which finally must prove blessing
to all. Ogden Examiner.

FINDING THE SUCKER"

In the current issue of Farm and
Preside a contributor writes an en
tertaining and informing articls EN-
titled THE Inventor and the Patent
Game" He tells the following story.
Il asked a patent lawyer of long
experience and unusual candor what
he thought about patents in general
and he told me this story:
One time a man with an inven-
ton brought 1t to me to get it pat
ented. looked it up and advised
him not to do it. 1t would cost him
$50 to start his proceeding,
and nobody could say how much to
finish it; and the device would be
worth nothing anyhow. He was i'm
movable. At length took his money
and got the patent pushed up to the
point of actual issue; then l begged
him once more not to take 1t out.
But he insisted, paid the fee and took
it.
| " He was seedy, hard up and out
at the elbows. felt criminal, but
forgot it. Three years afterward
was in his town, and he came down
to see me, driving to my hotel in
huge auto. He looked ready money
all over.
-" You're the man that started me
on the road to fortune" he said. Il
came to thank you"
Z" I gaspel and asked him to ex.
plain
. We'll" he said, you recollect
that patent you got for me-.
yes" ! said Il remember 1t
very well.
- and how you told me it was
perfectly northeast"
e We'll" he went on, you you
convinced me that 1t was worthless;
but you didn't convince me that
didn't want it, took it out, sold it
to h man in Illinois for $4,000 and with
the money bought a drug store. The
drug store prospered, and became a
wholesaler. Then l set up in the pat,
ent medicine business and now I'm
worth half a million dollars. NY
friend, you made my fortune, and I'm
here TO thank you for what you have
done for me-"
" What became or the fellow
who paid you the $4,000 for the pat
ent?" | finally managed to ask.
"Oh," he replied, he was the
sucker. You thought I vas, but you
were wrong"
" Now, continued the patent ex.
pert, that story represents the com.
monest and most effective way Of
making money out OF patents. It may
be knocking my own game, but 1t is
