Supplying Palestine With Water.

From the average yearly rainfall
of 26 inches enough water could be
stored up In Palestine to support a
population Of 100000, according to
James Haines, secretary of the Zion
list Society of Engineers, which is lay
Ing plans for a water supply system
for the Holy land as part of the restor-
alton work necessary to make the
land ready to receive the hundreds
of thousands of Jews from all over
the world who will emigrate there
as soon as the political status of the
country is cleared up.
Allowing for a so per cent loss
through evaporation and running off,
Mr.. Haines has figured that the yearly
rainfall over the 10000 square miles
Of Palestine will provide a future pop
ulation of 100000 with a daily per
capita supply Of 2,055 gallons. The
average daily consumption in New
York at present is estimated at
about 500 gallons per capita.

VISIONS NOT ALL REALIZED
But Even So, There Is Something Fine
In the Dreaming of Beautiful
Dreams.

There seem to be great many dis
appointed people in the world today;
the explanation apparently is that
many of us do not find our dreams and
hopes realized in quite the way and at
the time we expected. How many
times have there been conjured up be-
fore us a kind of magic day in which
all fine and splendid things would be
easily possible, and life would, of ne
cessity, lose very much that was sor-
did and un-ideal? We had beautiful
visions that seemed so easy of realiza-
ton, But in the cold light of the day
into which we have now come there
are many hard and unylelding un-
ideal facts, and what we fondly pie
tured fails to shape itself in actual
life. OF course, we are dislllusioned
and disappointed. But ought we to
be? Was there, after all, anything the
matter with the vision that we cher
ished7 Is It possible that the trouble
with us is that we have not the faith
and the wisdom to see the vision be-
ing realized, though in ways and fash
ions of which we had not dreamed?
Columbus did not discover what he
looked for, but were his faith and
dreaming not justified nevertheless?
And would he ever have discovered
anything but for the faith and the
dreaming ?-Montreal Herald.

WILSON'S DEFENSE OF ARTICLE X

N RESIDENT WILSON made a sort of half way entrance into the
II presidential campaign last week when a letter addressed to him
: and AN answer to it made by Secretary Joseph T. Tumulty, were
given out at the white house. The letter, as was to be expected, had
to do with the league of nations, since the president has decrced that
must be the paramount issue in the campaign.
The peg on which the white house letter was hung as a cam.
paign document was a letter addressed to the president by +. NJ
Swartz OF Los Angeles. The troublesome Irish question and just how
Article X of the league of nations would affect lrela1d's struggles
formed the subject matter OF the correspondence.
Mr., Swartz has the notion, like many other Americans, that under
Article X,we would be bound to support England in holding Ireland
under subsection. The president in his answer said that under the
covenant America would not obigate itself to assist any member of
the league in putting down a rebellion of its subjects or conquered
peoples.
lie went further and said that under Article X we might recog.
forum TO which all claims for sclfdetermination are to be submitted.
points out.
IL is in this part of the quasi Wilson letter that the whole heart
of the controversy rests. The letter demonstrated that the United
States might recognize ireland as an independent nation without any
thought Of other nations.
After this recognition by the Terms of the Wilson covenant,
should there be an organized uprising in Ireland against England
which naturally, had not followed the American example and recog-
nized Ireland as an independent naiOn-Amerea would be forced by
the league covenant to recognize this as al least a threat of wal, >
and therefore would have TO take official notice of it.
England being q member of the league, If America had recognized
Ireland as an Independent nation, an uprising In Ireland, instead Of
being q rebellion Of a subject people, would in American eyes, by the
league covenant, be external aggression directed at England. II il
kept its word. then the United States would lie forced by the Wilson
league covenant TO use its military and naval forces against Ireland.
Do you want to enter a league that will draw us into these en-
taneementsY Any way YOU cxpiain Article X YOU cannot get clear
OF some ENHANCEMENT.

A TIMELY OBSERVANCE

M ATION-WlDE observance of Roosevelt day, ON October q,
birthday Of the late Theodore Roosevelt. is proposed by the Of
~ fcers of the republican national committee. 1t is a splendid
plan and is likely to find approval and hearty cooperation in every
city, town and county in the nation.
On that day it is proposed that republicans shall gather and with
speeches and patriotic songs pay tribute to the memory of the great,
leader and renew pledges of loyalty to the great principles of gov
eminent and Of true Americanism for which he stood.
Roosevelt did more than stand for Americanism. lie literally
died fighting for it and fighting against the surrender of national SOW.
.ereignty and independence which the Wilson league of nations de-
.mands.
What more fitting tribute could be paid to Roosevelt than this
observance ON the eve of the achievement of his hopes, the eve of the
restoration Of constitutional government in the United States?,
Theodore Roosevelts whole immediate family, without an excep.
ton, have engaged actively in the campaign against the league of
nations. His wife, his son, his daughter, his sister, all have come to
the people with personal messages of their faith in the national pol
ices and ideals for which Roosevelt stood. Not only his relatives
but his intimate friends, his political followers, the progresives, have
united in the common cause of America first. With such support it
is not strange that the sweep toward Harding and the principles for
which Harding stands, steadily assumes the proportion Of a great
political landslide which will carry the whole country with it.

Unfortunately for the conclusion that the industries republican
bosses have built and the thousands of men and women they have
brought into the state, into profitable employment and comfortable
homes, are responsible for our slow growth, the census total for the ma
ton lopes along and it is discovered that our population has increased
only 40 per cent for the United States as a whole during the ten
year period. And during seven of the ten years we have been under
