DROUGHT LESSON TO
PEOPLE OF KANSAS
Storage of Water and Green
Fodder Prevent Ca
tastrophe.

Important lessons have been
brought home to the people of Kansas
and neighboring States by the great
drought. For years silos have been
preached, and since the dry year,
1901, thousands of them have been
built in various parts of Kansas and
now prove a valuable resource. In
Europe the silo has been common for
more than a century, but it was not
till 1879 that it came into use in the
United States.
The value of a reservoir where
green fodder can be stored under
pressure for slow fermentation is
specially felt in a dry season, and the
present year will inevitably lead to
lo-building OH a great scale. But in
the conservation of water, too, the
people beyond the Mississippi have
made great progress since the de-
stFuctive droughts of former times.
They have learned to dig ponds deep
with a smaller surface for evapora-
ton, and to protect them with a row
of willows from the fierce heat of the
sun, which sucks up shallow ponds
at a prodigious rate when the mer-
curry day after day goes well up into
three figures. While such a year as
this necessarily involves heavy loss
by such eXpedients it can be kept
from becoming a catastrophe.
When the West was settled less
was known about cycles of wet or
dry years, and the result has been
cycles of unreasonable optimism or
pessimism. The truth is that in the
semi-arid country there is much land
which il pays on the whole to cult
vate. but which may ruin the owner
il he has no other resources It's
profitable culture must be matter
of finance as well as of agricultural
technic. for the purse OF small
farmer cannot stand very protract-
ed series of bad years.
But it is likely that science has not
said its last word in the matter of
forecasting, and there would be pro-
digious economic value in fair as
surance months ahead as TO the gem
eral character of the coming sum-
mer.

get something out of 1t for fodder.

they had known of the drought in ad-
vance. The routine of tracing the
course of storms the weather bu-

T0EOPLE'S

Seneca and a Newark "HeIlo" Girl.

Seneca and n Newark "Hello" Girl.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Stranger is brief madness, says
Seneca. Take, for instance, the man
that "sasseS" the hello girl for not
executing his orders promptly. Few
things could better illustrate the
truth of the great Romans saying.
The impotent rage of the man at the
phone serves only to defeat the very
end in the pursuit of which his wrath
is kindled. The telephone operator is
in position to avenge herself at once
for the indignity. And, so, is it not
clear that the anger that invites such
quick retribution must be madness?
But, let us take the opposite side
of the question. Sometimes the
hello" girl purposely causes delay
in connecting phones. or even shuts
off connections in a capricious mood.
A case in point occurred yesterday in
this city at 8 p. m. A woman at a
phone at Mt. Prospect avenue called
up her husband, whose telephone is
in a downtown Office. 1T was most
important message to both wife and
husband But the operator arranged
matters so that the message could
not be delivered. Twice the connec-
ton was interrupted. The second
time the "hello" girl assured the hus-
band that the phone at the. other end
had gone out of order. This. subse-
uuent events proved. was deliberate
falsehood; for at the very moment
that the statement was made the
wife was asking the operator why the
connection had been cut off. And
there was nothing at all the matter
with either phone.

81 refer to the appropriation by
Congress of fifty million dollars just
after the war with Spain began, an
appropria ton which committed the
d sposal of the entire amount TO the
discretion of the President
81 took some pains at the time to
look up the history of appropria tions
by Congress and by parliamentary
bodies and ] was unable to find a
single instance where an appropria
ton of any considerable amount had
been made with specifying the pur-
pose for which the money was
granted. The people of this country
and Great Britain have always been
jealous of their power to appropriate
money and their exclusive right to
state for what purposes the appro-
priations are made, forbidding al
ways the diversion of the appropria-
lions to any other purpose than that
set forth in the grant.
But here was an appropriation of
fifty million dollars, one of the largest
ever made by Congress, with no other
designation of its purpose than that
the expenditure of the funds should
be absolutely and exclusively at the
discretion of the President
ITO my thinking. this incident
furnishes one of the strongest of
proofs of the fundamental belief of
the American people in the perman-
cree and soundness of their institu-
tons. Congress had perfect con-
fidence in Mckinley, for he had taken
as many members of Congress as he

Maternity Pensions.


From the Toronto Globe.
The British government IS already
paying maternity allowances, and the
Pennsylvania government has estab-
lished a system of motherhood pen
sions. The Dominion Trades Con-
gress, at Montreal. has favored some
such action by the Canadian govern
ment The British departure is an
emergency measure rendered neces-
sary by the deteriorating influence of
onerous conditions. The Pennsyl-
vania system is surrounded by the
multitude of limitations, which timid-
ity generally prompts regarding new
departures. 1t is TO be administered
by a board of seven women serving
without pay. Pensions are paid only
in municipalities bearing half the eX-
pense. The maximum is $12 per
month for a mother with one child,
$50 per month for two children, SIG
for three children, with IS for each
additional child. The conditions of
the pension permit payment to wom-
en- whose husbands have deserted
them or have been imprisoned, also
TO those whose husbands IRE unable
to provide for their support. En-
ployment at wages does not diSqualify
a mother for a pension.
As the conditions of payment are
varied. and the amount may be re-
duced by the administering board,
this will probably assume the form
OF a somewhat specialized charity It
will be of benefit to the importunate
and insstent, but Of little or no use
to the dlgnifed or self-respecting. No
matter how many ways the mother
or father may be Indirectly taxed to
provide the funds. the faint Cf charity
will prevent the sef-respecting from
participating. Americans are sensi
tive about assuming membership of
an inferior caste or class. and de-
spise the accepter of charity. While
tho pension bears that aspect the
average mother would endure health
breaking privations rather than touch
the tainted money.
Still the pension marks new de-
parture, and other states are already
moving in the same direction. When
it is adjusted on a different basis it
may become a real advantage in es-
tablshing the right of every child TO
a healthy start in life, and the right
of every mother to the means OF pro-
vidlng il. This will involve the right
of every taxpayer to share in the
money he contributes. AS LLOYD
George has pointed out. there is no
such thing as non -contrlbutlng
pension system. The man who has
worked has been taxed in so many
indirect and concealed ways. and has
had the products of his hands taken
from him so many obscure proc
esses. that the pension merely re-
stores to him his own. And the
mother who has worked in the home,
the factory. or the office, and has
brought a. child into the world is not
pauper when she receives rea :
sonahle allowance from the funds she
has helped to create. -
