has become apparent that the govern
ment must bring the water nearer to
the land and although this makes the
burden of the government heavier and
reduces the cost to the settler, never
the less the latter also invests a great
deal more money than was originally
snticiuated. The reclamation service
finds that the present cost Of storing,
diyerging and distributing water for
irrigation averages not far from $50 an
acre, to say nothing Of the Original
investment" This is a direct loan to
the settler, and is found 20 be insufic.
lent to put the settler on his feet. He
must spend an equally large sum for
equipment, building and improvements.
at may be said that at least $500 to
$4,000 must be invested by the settler
within the first two or three years en-
a small farm, not including the pur-
chase price of the lands" asserts the
reclamation service. While the govern
ment Is doing its utmost to bring this
work to a success, land spectators
are finding plenty Of ways and means
by which they can cheat the govern
ment.
1t would be little less than treason
to discourage an undertaking that has
been so far advanced. 1t may be that
the stubborn persistence Of the United
States government will finally evolve a
great success, and if it does, it will
demonstrate that at least in this one
thing the government can Outdistance
private enterprise since it is quite
positive hat successful Carey Act pro-
jects are few. The Carey act fur
nishes a plan for cooperative effort in
which the federal government turns
over any required body of land to a
state, which the latter undertakes,
through private enterprise, to irrigate.
It has been clearly demonstrated at
every turn that the federal government
does not know what it is about, but
the reclamation work has been going
forward. Let us hope it will prove
the tremendous success that has been
predicted.
Southern people have long been ad-
vocating the drainage of swamp lands,
particularly in their section Of the
country and the reports Of the govern
ment agents have been to the effect
that this drainage could be accom-
plished at anywhere from fifty cents to
twenty dollars an acre-thus reclaim
ing some Of the richest sections of
the United States. Ask why it has not
been done and perhaps there will be
no satisfactory answer. However, any
n can see that such a project is en-
tirely feasible, and If 1t is worth while
to go into partnership with settlers on
land that becomes worth 500 to 5000
an acre in the western country, then
Is it not equally well worth while to
drain the swamps and reclaim for set
Element cheap and productive lands in
the south and elsewhere?

r FOR WOMEN
A Survey of the Suffrage Status in
English Speaking Countries

1t is a noteworthy fact and not gen.
orally known, that in the whole Eng
lish speaking world, the only country
in which may be found states or prov
inces or other large political divisions
where women have absolutely no suf-
frage rights is the United States.
Everybody's Magazine recently pub
lished some interesting figures. Out
Of an English speaking population of
164,3 900, only 19,748,034 live in terri
tory where full suffrage rights are
granted, this territory being found
partly in the British Empire and part
ly in the United States. ga, 1884 9 form
a municipal suffrage area, all of it in
the British Empire. Then in the Unit
ed States we find 32,S24,476 people liv-
ing in territory with no woman's
suffrage and 47,O52, 900 with only minor
suffrage privileges for it's women,
nearly one-half of all the English
speaking people in the world. Yet we
have been proud to think of our coun-
try as "the land of the free where
everybody enjoys equal rights and op-
~portunities. Can it be that the British
Empire is making more steady pro-
gress toward true democracy than u
beloved land? For note that the large
municipal suffrage area, including no:
quite one-half Of the English speaking
population, lies in the British Empire,
and in European countries progress
has usually been from municipal to
full suffrage as in the case of Nor
way and Denmark.
The English-speaking municipal suf-
frage countries are England, Wales,
Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and the
Union of South Africa. The full suf-
frage area is perhaps somewhat great
er in the United States, for we have
now twelve full suffrage states. while
in the British Empire the Isle of Man,
New Zealand, and Australia constitute
the full suffrage territory. We have
practically no municipal suffrage terri
tory, as Illinois is almost a full suffrage
state. On the other hand, as has been
stated before, all Of the no-suffrage ter
ritory, including about one-afth of the
English.speaking population OF the
world, is found within our borders. The
sixteen states which give their women
no political rights whatever are In
diana, West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Maine, Maryland, Vir,
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee,
Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas. 1t is
interesting to observe that the west Is
not represented in this list and that
the south, the most backward section
of our country, constitutes q large part
OF the no-suffrage 1t Is encourag-
ing to note, however, that even here
there Is much suffrage activity. Penn
~sylvania is now a campaign state. In
Arkansas the suffrage amendment
was passed by the legislature but was
prevented from going to the voters by
a law which provides that only three
amendments can be submitted at
once. In Maine and Texas. ~two-thirds
rules alone prevented the passage of
the amendment. In Alabama and

the belief that a partial success has
been attained, but he. voiced the opin-
ion that the poor man is unable to car

reported that effective agitation for

The government Is engaged in a won

not real farmers. "The enemy Of the

that II the cities would levy one

Some OF the city councilmen will visit
