PURE WATER FOR HOLY CITY
British Nave Repaired ponth:. Piiate's Reservoir and Death res Has
 Dropped One haif

Jerusalem, situated outside the val ley of the Kedron, boasts of only one small spring. the Virgins fount, so named because 1t Is believed the Moth CT of Christ drew water from it. Ever since Soiomon's day the want of wa ter has been felt in Jerusalem, and tAe British. since their occupation, decid- ed to repair and use the old reser- voir, now known as Birkett Assoub and lying few miles to the south of Solomon's pool. It was built by Pon- tius Pilate and it was from here that he brought water to the city in the days of Christ Pilates old reservoir was repaired and enlarged, Its capac- ity today being 5000. 900 gallons. Gal leries were built in various directions to tap the numerous surrounding springs, including those of Ain ed Dir tized the eunuch. A powerful pump ing plant was installed by which the water Is pumped up to large reservoirs built on higher ground on the Hebron road, the water flowing from here by its own gravity in ope-foot iron pipe to twin pools on the hill west of the city, from whence 1t Is conducted to various standpipes In and around Jerusalem. Pilates aqueduct. ruins of which dot the landscape today, stretched for a distance of 40 miles, though as the crow flies the Holy city lies but 13 miles away. The British pipe line, however, is but 15 miles in total length. AS result of this Brit fish enterprise the death rate in the city has dropped by one-half.

E VENTS make sport of the schemes IL of mice and men. Mckinley en- tered the race for the presidency on the tariff issue, was elected on the money issue and the greatest problems that confronted him in the White House were the fate of chain of islands off the coast of Asia and the destiny of China
 Spain had been engaged for two years in a desolating struggle to hold In subjection the revolting Island of Cuba. and two happenings pushed Mckinley into the conflict in spite of himself In private letter, the Span- ish minister at Washington scoffed at the president as "politicastro"- in plain American. "a peanut pOli- tician"-and plainly intimated that the fair promises which the Spaniards weye giving him were only trick to fool the administration and the Amer. ican people. Within week of that exposure, the battleship Maine was blown up in Havana harbor, with the loss of 266 American lives.

1 LANDLORDS PLEDGE WHICH
 ISN'T \ PLEDGE.

The pledges as drawn up at the Memphis cotton acreage reduction meeting are very stringent in the case of the farmer who signs he absolute ly and unequivocally pledges hlmseif not to plant more than one-third of his land in cotton In the case of the landlord, however. he simply pledges himself sas far as I can" to influence his tenants to this end-and 'as far as I can" is a very elastic phrase.
 The net result k likely to be that practically all small farmers who sign will cuf their acreage but that many very large landowners will contrnt themselves with very small degree of moral suasion." leaving their ten ans to plant about as much cotton as usual. The lanlord's so-cailed pledge" in the present form is joke, and it Is not fair to ask small farmers to sign a stringent pledge unless the Ia rge landowners are going to dc their
 
 part.
 Maybe it will be said that many large landowners can't pledge their tenants. We'll. if they can't, let's be honest with ourselves and say so, and not fool ourselves hy saving that land lords are signing q pledge which k so worded that it doSen't mean any thing. Either the landlord should be required to say exactly what he will or will not do. or he should not be ask ed to % through the form of sign ing anything at all.
 We believe it' iS sheer folly to talk about cutting cotton acreage 5O per cent this year and that much more good would be accomplished by set ting out for q reduction not more than half so great But no matter what the percentage of reduction attempted. any so-called pledge should he what fl pretendS n be=Thc Progressive Farmer

months the popular outcry of Re member the Maine" the president yielded and war was declared. In ten days Dewey had smashed the enemy squadron in Manila bay in ten weeks another squadron was sunk or captured of Santiago; in three months and half poor old Spain threw up the sponge.
 It took twice as long to make peace as to make war. The Philippines caused all the trouble As we had not captured the islands in the war, many believed that we should let them alone. But Mckinley decided to de- mand from Spain the surrender of the Philippines.
 Without waiting for ratification. the president dispatched a military expe- dition to take over the Philippines, proclaiming to the revolting Filipinos the policy of benevolent assimila- tion." The resulting war dragged its unpleasant length for two years be- fore the inhabitants unwillingly bowed to their new master.
 IL was the strange fortune of a president whose entire public life had been given exclusively to domestic questions to plant the flag in the dis tant Philippines and to send 1t to the pink walls of the Forbidden City of China. In the march on Picking for the rescue of the forgein legations from the siege of the Boxers or Chinese revoutiOnists, the United States joined other powers for the first time in a military expedition.
 Under the high statesmanship of John Hay, the secretary of state, the United States had already, before the Boxer rebellion, laid restraining hand upon the nations that were footing Chinese territory and had drawn from them pledges to keep an "open door" to trade in the ports they were seiz- ing at the point of the gun. The "open door" has remained ever since the chart of our course in the East. If we will only continue to follow 1t and should succeed in inducing others to follow it while longer, until the giant of the Orient awakens from his long slumber and shakes off his for eign despoilers, an emancipated China will be the imposing monument ct William McKinley's presidency.
