citizenship by Ritual.

When Uncle SAN adopts into his
family n foreign horn appreciation Of
the much advertised advantages of
American citizenship, he presents to
the new factor in u problems a GER
tifcate enclosed In an envelope on
which are printed the statutory
clauses fixing penalties for counter
fcitinc or fraudnlently using such GER
tifcates. That bright and busy bud
ding author PERCY MACKAyE, whose
poetic muse has an appetite for poll
tics. would have the new American
treated more considerably. In the
preface to "Thc New citizenship" de-
Scribed in lis subtitle as "A civic
ritual devised for places Of public
meeting In America" he says:
"A wiser emphasis will take better
account Of the psychology OF our new
citizens by recognizing that to the great
majority the hour OF their naturalization
Is n sacred hour. which calls on our
part not first for a warning against their
possible criminal tendencies but first for
a welcome 20 the honest aspirations
which they undoubtedly bring to quicken
our own"

sacred hour and the psychology of the

ENCOURAGING Statements BY secre.
tary Lane.

A recent compilation Of data by
Secretary LANE of the Department Of
the Interior concerning the irrigation
OF land by Government works for
agricultural purposes Is gratifying
and in some respects surprising.
Secretary LANE takes note Of the
prevalent impression that the rerla-
nation projects have failed To reclaim
more than a small percentage Of the
irrlgahle land II was asserted they
would make productive by the appli-
cation of water; an impression pro-
duced by the frequent publication Of
reports Of non-completion Of dams,
reservoirs and other works involved.
Commenting on this Mr.. LANE says:
ut is we'll TO note the fallacies in
volved in the common use OF these terms
as applicable TO large reclamation prof.
ects. Irrigation may begin with the
completion OF tho first portion Of the
canal system. while the construction OF
the remainder may extend over a num-
her Of years and yet keep well in ad-
vance Of settlement and development Of
the irrigablc lands"
Estimates from time to time as rec
lamation works have been started un-
der the provisions of the Ncwlands
law have shown n total of 1,524,151
irrigable acres which might he reached
by canals designed as parts of the
projects. Mr.. LANES data show that
of this total more than half. $4,000
acres. was irrigated according to the
1913 reports.
But the number Of irrigable acres
is largely increased by new estimates
made as the greater possibilities Of

tary, "the project as a whole becomes

AS one OF those who have followed
that he is an American. with the in

ability, trained in the principles of free

manity. The institutions of autoc-
racy. of m%ilitarism, of "frightfulness.'
must be abhorrent to him. His trained
and analytical mind Is shown in all
