100 YEARS OF PEACE BETWEEN
 TWO NATIONS

Let us hope that America will be
 as keenly touched as Great Britain has been by the appeal for celebra- ton of the completion of a hundred years of peace between the great
 Anglo-Saxon natons. On next Christ mas day it will be rounded century since the treaty of Ghent was signed Not in that long span of Wne has there been danger of conflict, though the two peoples were set agog during the Civil War and when Cleveland wrote his Venezuela message.
 On neither occasion, however, was a clash really imminent, since each side was in the spirit of fair conces- sion. The world has had on this con- tinent an object lesson the very an tithesis of the bristling situation ex- isting in Europe. Here there has been a boundary of over 4,000 miles sep arating part of the worlds greatest empire from the worlds greatest re- public without a fort or a sentinel!
 Apologists for militarism, for larg ar armies and navies, for what they automatically call preparedness as a promoter of peace, are answered by this 100-year comity between the giants of organized society It is theme worthy of celebration. It can not be doubted that the peace societies of the two lands will make it the oc- casion for stirring recognition in be- half of the growing protest against madness.
 In England it is proposed to mark it, for one thing, by altering the school histories to accord with less prejudic- ed views. Is there a question that in this country the example should be That some of our favorite of the Revolution are bom- oastic and unfair to the verge of alsity?

SUBSIDY vs. FREE OPPORTUNITY

In an article in one of the January
 magazines, President David Starr Jor. don writes on Paving the Cost ot Living" He draws the following con.
 trast between the theory of govern
 ment as an instrument for the produc-
 ton of wealth and the theory of gov
 ernment as guardian of equal oppor-
 tunity for all citizens:
 "The fact is plain. Wealth grows
 most rapidly when it's components are
 in the hands of those who know how
 to develop wealth. If the purpose of
 government is to increase national
 wealth by the quickest and surest way
 the method of protection and subsidy IS the surest. It does not increase in- dividual wealth, for the struggling lit tie men must pay for the dominant big ones, but the method is sure and it is receiving a brilliant trial in Ger many. While we investigate, harass. and dissolve our great industrial mon nopolies, Germany renders every ae- sistance that governmental alliance protective tariffs and systems of re- bate render possible. Every help tbat technical schools of managers, for and for workmen, can give is also at their service. The valuc of this feature to every element in the industrial world cannot be over-cs- timated.
 'This phase of German administra- l ton is a model to the world, although ] in a democracy the theory and purpose of technical and industrial education must be different.' In Germany the work of the individual is intensified md encouraged in order to exalt the State. In America, the State belongs o the people and still exists for their benefit. In England, the two ideas still struggle for mastery without complete victory for either Tlit primary business of democracy is ustice, neither to make the money or itself nor to help its citizens to nake it but to see that all have an qually fair chance to do so. In this ense America means opportunity nd nothing more, Old-age pensions, insurance and the like at he most make slight amends for lost { pportunity. Worlds Work. l

| tana in the order named. In percent
 age of increase for the decade, how
 ever, Texas ranked first, Washington
 second, Idaho third, and New Mexico fourth.
 The total cost of irrigation enter
 prises up to July 1, 1910, was report
 ed as $3O7, ,S66, 1869, which represents
 an increase of $24O,904, 4,O94. or 359.S
 per cent. over the cost reported at the
 census of 1900. In no state in the arid region was the increase in cost
 for this period less than 100 per cent. the highest percentage of increase be- ing in North Dakota and the lowest in Oklahoma. With respect to absolute increase California ranked first. Col orado second, Idaho third, and Mon tana fourth. The year 1910 was in the midst of period of great activity in the construction of irrigation works. and on July 1, 1910, a large number of works were incomplete. The "es- timated final cost reported, $424,281,- 1S6, is the sum of the cost up to July l, and the estimated cost of complet- ing these unfinished work.
 The average cost per acre based on the acreage irrigated in 1909 was $22.- Al; that based on the acreage enter prises were capable of irrigating in 1910 was $15.92; and that based on the estimated total cost and the acreage included in projects was $13.64.
 The report shows for all crops re- ported as irrigated an average value per acre of s25.OS. The highest aver age value per acre for crops raised on irrigated land is that for Washing on, $49.S2, which is followed by that or Texas, $45.43 (exclusiVe of rice) md that for California $43.5O. Wyo- ming showed the lowest average value 'er acre, $12.61. As is to be expected. he average value per acre is highest n the states with large areas of fruits. -egetables and other specialized crops aised by means of irrigation, while those where forage crops and rains predominate the average is over.
 In acreage, alfalfa ranked first. with 30.6 per cent of the total report d; wild, salt or prairie grasses" was econd, with 211 per cent.

temperance from the churches should observe it inside the churches.
 Intemperance in drinking, smoking, or eating is deplorable because it vio- lates the laws of nature. Usually, however, such intemperance inflicts it's punishment on the person guilty of it. Except in cases where the in temperance occurs in public, setting a bad example for others, the effects are confined to one person. Where a minister is guilty of intemperance in speech, however, the effects are widespread. Not only is it unseemly that a deciple of religion should rage against individuals, but a great deal of harm is done to the persons whom he attacks. They are subjected to undesirable notoriety and are held uI to unjust criticism.
 Whether they shall smoke cigar cites or not is a matter for the wom- en themselves to decide. The only sensible objection that can be made to the growing practice is that it takes away some of the sweetness which men are wont to associate with women. If the women are willing to sacrifice one of the ideals of the men for the sake of whatever enjoyment they obtain from smoking cigarettes that is their own business.
 Saving souls by denunciation and is not likely to be successful in this enlightened age. The very | basis of religion is kindliness and love l The minister in Philadelphia who tri- ed the other method has seen his mis- take, and has had the good grace to apologize for his nasty speech.

FIRST OF ITS KIND

Arizona r is so situated on the bor- derland of the continent and thou sands of citizens from both South and North reside within it's limits ana they will be interested in reading of the action of the people of Fitzgerald, Ga, who propose to erect a monument which they think will be the first of it's kind in the United States.
 It is to be in honor of Civil War soldiers on both sides. AS features of it, statues of Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis will stand together, and Generals Grant and Lee will be represented as shaking hands. The shaft, 125. feet high, will be crowned with a figure representing peace. The design has been accepted by the local commission.
 The design is certainly striking. To he sentiment of union veterans and
 5rhaps to that of some confederate veterans this juxtaposition of Lincoln and Davis, Grant and Lee in memorial architecture may seem positively shocking. It would not have been pos sible a few years ago.
 But we should remember that it is not meant to be judgment on the is- sues at stake fifty years ago. It is to typify the entire substance of the disputes and passions of the great American conflict It will not signify of principle. It will re- mind one of the magnaninmous con- duct of Grant toward Lee at Appo- mattox and of the lenient considera- ton of Lincoln for the South when the struggle was over and the task of patriots and statesmen was reconcil- ation.
 It will stand for that divine prin- ;iple of forgiveness which character zed the labors of Jesus. It marks an epoch in human advancement that lifts mankind into the realms of sublime Christian manhood and paves the way or better things in life.

TOWN BOOSTING"

The town boosting movement has become so general that one town gains little more in this way from it's sur rounding than it loses to other com petitors. ..
 Of course this makes it doubly nee essary to keep hustling for new busi ness, if we would play the game and keep up with our rivals.
 But while we are soliciting new in dustries to come here-while one town is wearing boosting buttons" and an- other is stamping it's mail matter with booster tags"-let us see to it that we are not lacking in certain funda- mental substantials of community de velopment.
 The most solid growth comes where we can encourage our own young and ambitious men to start in business and stay here instead of going away. Ev- cry town has, and we have, such am- bilious and promising young men, of good business capacity.
 The city that gets ahead is the city where the men who have already won out are willing to help younger men get a foothold.
 If just as soon as our business men are successful, they should settle down idly to enjoy their money, indifferent to the advancement of the town, we should progress but slowly. But if they will interest themselves in our younger men and newer enterprises. serve on boards of directors, invest what they can in home undertakings. give the benefit of their experience. no power on earth can stop this place from growing very fast.
 The returns from planting shade trees and developing parks and keep ing home grounds in fine order may seem remote, and not of much assist ance, commercially But in a place where these things are carefully look | ed after, the town acquires wide repu- tation as a residence town. Every | travelling man who comes here, every visitor, scatters the report that this Is mighty agreeable place to live in
 The returns from this source may be slow, but they are very sure. Any business man hesitating between two places for location always chooses the attractive residence place. And there is constant tendency of people to move in from the country to edu- cate their children and enjoy town life, and they always pick attractive resi- dence places to move to.

THE CALL OF THE CHILD

All over the nation there is a gener
 al awakening to the great resDonsr bility society has imposed upon it in in caring properly for millions of chil- dren who either have no parents or have parents indifferent to their edu- cation and environment
 At the meeting of the General Con- ference of the Methodist Episcopal church in Minneapolis 19,O0O clergy men of that denomination were pledg- ed to make war on the employment of children less than sixteen years of age in factories and textile mills.
 The Southern Sociological Congress in Nashville will give attention to the abuses of child labor, and from hun dreds of gatherings all over the coun- try, and thousands of newspaper of fices are going out almost daily for the emancipation of childhood from drudg- cry which interferes with education and blights the happiness which should enter into every young life.
 In it's resolutions of protest against child labor the Minneapolis Confer ence made this statement about condi- tions in this country:
 In their greed for gain, employers have in this country put about 2,5O0, 900 children under sixteen years of age in mills, mines, factories and mes senger service. Of the 80,000 children in the textile mills, we are informed that 10000 are under twelve years of age, and in those mills yearly about 100 baby hands are cut off by machin- cry. In the glass factories there are 1000 children; in saw mills, 5000, and in cigar factories, 12,000 children, who | handle cigars at the rate of eight cents per thousand This is an ap- palling commentary on modern civili- 1 zation. Who is it we hear crying in | the street corners: Suffer little chil | dren to come unto Me?" Is it Jesus Christ, or the greed for gain? IL about time we realize the sufferinE and calamity which modern civiliza- tion is imposing upon the children.
 The war against ignorance and illit- eracy may we'll begin with laws which will make it impossible for indifferent parents to live off the earnings of their young children who should be in the schools. The degradation of children IS blow at the very heart of society, and any state should feel disgraced that single one of its children is not in school layirg the foundation for in telligent citizenship.

SHOULD BE LAW AGAINST THEM

A young woman who works for a living writes to complain that she is fined by her employer for every lit tie error she makes.
 Tn infliction of fines upon working reople, especially upon women and children, should be forbidden by law AND THE LAW ENFORCED.
 The infliction of fines is illegal in spirit. An employee wi1lfully careless should be dismissed. Nothing justifies the taking from hard-working people of part of their earnings.
 The employer wouldn't care to be fin ed by customers especially arbitrari- automatic human machine for six or eight or ten dollars a week or less.
 The employer would care to be fined by his customers especially arbitrari- ly and without hearing.
 The system of fines Is convenient, as it puts money in the employers pocket ALWAYS, and helps managers of departments to keep down expenses.
 But fines for employees are dishon- est. They are cowardly, for the em- ployer inflicts the fine because he knows the employee dare not re- copt if

 The percentage of increase between
 1889 and 1899 in the number of farms irrigated was more than double that during the succeeding decade, but the absolute increases during the two dec ades was approximately equal. Ne braska showed the largest percentage of increase during the former period and Texas during the latter period; but in neither state is the actual num- Der of irrigated farms large. In Ne braska and South Dakota there were between 1899 and 1909. The largest absolute increases in both dec ades was in California. In the period of 1899 to 1909 the next largest in- crease was in Colorado, and in the period 1889 to 1899 in Utah.
 In total acreage irrigated California | ranked first in 1889, Colorado second and Montana third Tn both 1899 and | 1909 Colorado reported the largest ir- 'igated acreage, while California and Montana were second and third, re- ,pectively.
