It will be soothing the organization leaders to learn

THE NEW PROPHETS.

According to the Elk River Sentinel.
n. L. Mencken's review of Walter
Lippmann's new book is as accurate
as it is biting. He says in part:
In the same fortnight and con-
vincing manner he shows how little
sense there is in the New Freedom of
Dr. Woodrow Wilson or in the multi
tudious sovereign blams of the Hon
William Jennings Bryan, that purglinp
well OF political international and
spiritual salvation. The trouble with
both Mr.. Bryan and DR.. Wilson. he
shredly argues, is that the Aemrica
they sweat to save to an America that
long since ceased to exist. 1t is. in
tact. the Aemrica of seventy wears ago
"a land of small industries, poor com
muncations, isolated communities
petty ambitions, village jacks-of-all
trades. They allow nothing whatever
Tor the enormous changes that have
come over the nation. They do not
sense the biological need of organiza-
ton, specialization, combination.
monopoly. They think for a Compact
society OF hundred million people in
terms OF the corner grocery. They
are olnd to the factt hat the demo-
cracy OF Jackson is as archaic as the
teudalism of the twelfth century,

OF Mr.. Bryan for he is frankly a dema-
gogue, a rabble-rouser. mob-master.
and to the vast majority of the people
he addresses the truth is both abhor-
rent and incomprehensible. But il is
somewhat disconcerting to hear 81
much balderdash from the lips of Dr.
Wilson, for he is a man or reflective
habit and it has been the business nj
his life to differentiate sharply he
tween the winds of current doctrine
and solid facts of human frailty and
human necessity. And yet one finds
him solmenly proposing the enforced
disintegration of big business and
holding this picture before the en-
raptured yeomanry: Are you not eap-

THE SPECIAL PIONEER ELECTION.

The Tribune has called attention the special election
which will be held in the Pioneer Irrigation District April
80. The officers of the district with the help of Judge
Will R. King have prevailed upon the Reclamation Service
to give the district much better contract than the
first entered into The supplemental contract
gives the District 20 instead of 10 years in which pay
for the drainage works 1t enables the district to take
advantage of the lower of the drainage works and
the Arrowrock reservoir Secretary Jester summed up
the matter follows if the is entered into
the lands in the vicinity of Five and Ten Mile creeks will
be drained and provisions made for draining
OF the district where needed up the limit Of ap-
preparation of $350O00 the of storage capacity lin
the Arrowrock reservoir originally provided for will be
received 100000 less than expected and 20 years with
out interest will be given for repayment on graduated
scale instead of 10 equal payments.
The contract is much more favorable to the Dis
trict than the old We have fear that it will be
voted down We urge the landowners in the district to
vote at the election Not of them afford to take
chances They should remember that the best drain
age proposition that afforded them was lost o-
