Provicb Lands for
ROOSEVELT S STROHG,
Policy that Increases the Sum of Human
Happiness and Enlarges and Strength
ens the Republic.
W2ien President Roosevelt said, "I
BELONG WEST OF THE MISSOURI
RIVER," he sioke from his heart. Il
-was not that he loved the east less,
but the west more.
He felt that, in a certain way, the
country at large did not properly appre
teiate .this crude, big brother, whose
wonderful development and accomplish
ments are destined to bring the greatest
fame and riches to the family the Na
tion. He got acquainted with this big
brother and found out that he was worth
winning and saving. He started out at
once upon his patriotic and philanthropic
mission.
Mr. Roosevelt firmly believes there is
nothing too good for the west. He has
put that section next to its immeasur
able future, by the National Irrigation
Act; -which, it is universally admitted,
could not have become a law without
his urccnt personal influence in the
House, any more than without his sig
nature as- President Then, there is his
"Open Door" policy in China, and the
Panama. Canal, assured as a permanent
highway to the world's commerce. These
measures are vitally associated with the
west.
Known and Loves the West,
No other President has ever spoken at
audi length or so explicitly on the sub
jeet of irrigation. It is equally truc-ihat
no other President ever had so wide an
acquaintance with the subject as Mr.
Roosevelt possesses. He is, as it were,
an adopted child of the west and knows
Its wants and sympathizes with them
The proposed reservoirs in connection
.with the reclamation service will hus
band for the great empire beyond the
Mississippi the waters necessary to add
the desert reaches there to habitations
and productivity. This will insure the
enduring qualities of his fame. His
knowledge of the -west shines through
all his utterances. He holds that irri
tation is the coming necessity, and that
by it our natural resources can be un
covered to a degree undreamed of and
our population and industry more than
doubled within our continental limits.
His work here will mark the special
achievement of his administration, and
his irrigation proclamation will go down
in history as one of of the greatest acts
of any President.
Potency of Nntional Act.
The National Irrigation Act is gauged
on an honest, intelligent, extensive plan,
well considered, and will be wisely car
ried out. By it we will be able as a
nation to add to all former triumphs of
this Republic new illustrations of our
power to do things. By a system of
judicious forestry almost the entire area
can be re-forested, in a hundred years.
The climate could be changed and im
proved. We could give an impetus to
every kind of trade, which, with our
new advantages in the Orient, would
more than double the volume of our
present commercial traffic. In this area
of intense agricultural and horticultural
development will be created a field for
he exercise of every kind of skill and
irvery attainment of handicraft. Here
many of the vexed social and economic
questions are destined to be settled. In
living to the Nation a race of land
ewners, a race of men and women will
ke insured who, by interest, instinct and
ehoice, will be patriots.
Innate UomcOwninc Desire.
There is an. innate desire in the heart
f the Anglo-Saxon American to own
l Aonie. There is an inherent yearning
if the common people, apparent on every
page of history, to own in fee simple
lome portion of the earth. The desire
to still as keen as it ever was. Of all
rf our wealth producing class, the farm
ir needs a home most. He must have
innd, he should by all means own it.
lis farm need not be so large as some
pappose, but it should belong to the
larmer, not to some one else. This is
ot only self-evident because of the ad
rantages to the farmer, but because of
hs advantages to the Nation at large.
Jt is the cornerstone of our National
life; it lies at the root of all true pa
triotism and all social improvement and
content.
Give a man a home upon the soil and
70a have made him a patriot who will
defend your institutions at the ballot
box or on the battle field. Open the
doors of this great and west, with the
key of National Irrigation, and you need
not worry about the future. Let the
people have easy access to the land and
most of our other troubles will settle
themselves. The property owner is a
, conservative man who loves his familv
and his country. Let the property own
ers be as numerous as possible.
Hope for Honest Toll.
The National Irrigation Act, passed
by a Republican Congress at Mr. Roose
velt's earnest request and as a result
of his personal efforts, has already be
gun its -work of measureless good to
American citizenship. It is placing
within the reach of the landless man
our manless land. It is to speak with
a voice that cannot be misunderstood.
By combining the two powerful factors
of irrigation and reclamation, in its up
building work of the Nation, its mis
sion will be well night irresistible. It
will lift from the pathway of the bread
winner the dead weight of poverty and
congestion which has obstructed our na
tional progress, created internecine strug
gles between capital and labor and
threatened to shipwreck our future pros
perity. Kxpanalre Arena of Action.
The arid region, extending in the main
from the Missouri River to the Pacific
Ocean and from Mexico to Canada, em
braces an area, generally speaking, of
about 1,500 miles either way. Here is

country abounds in mountains, plains
and valleys. It is here that the govern
ment pro-iwscs to apply the workings of
the National Irrigation Act and to re
claim all of the arid land which may
be ascertained to be arable and which
is found to be susceptible of reclama
tion bv the amount of water available.
Government experts estimate that the
present amount of land which may be
irrigated is about one hundred million
acres. This can be reclaimed by apply
ing the amount of water now available,
direct. It is also estimated that after
irrigation has been applied to the soil
for three or four years, a less quantity
of water is necessary and hence an ad:
ditional area of perhaps fifty millions
acres more may possibly be added to the
reclamation area.
Nature Did the Needful.
Nature seems to have employed every
resource at its command to make the
mountain and plain region the most fav
ored portion of the earth's surface for
the habitation of man. This section will
one day be the seat of empire of the
United States, and, consequently, the
world. For a distance of more than a
thousand miles there are successive
chains of mountains, in general course
running north and south aud on parallel
lines, with numerous valleys occupying
the immediate ground.
Each valley, large or small, has its
stream, carrying, with rapid fall, the
melting snows of the tributary moun
tains. The grades in general favor the
operation of irrigating canals which
take the water from streams and carry
it at a moderate fall to lines above
the cultivated land. As the spring sea
son advances, the rainfall decreases, the
crops need more and more water, which
is furnished automatically by the gradual
increase of the temperature along and
up the mountain side, reaching the light
est deposit of snow first and then, during
the later and hotter months, drawing
upon the reserve of the deeper and less
easier melted ice at the higher altitudes,
Fertility of Arid Soil.
Under the rains of centuries much of
the soluble plant foods in eastern soils
have been washed into the sea. Where
no rainfall exists the plant food remains.
The government analyses of soils show
that the arid lands average three times
as much potash, six times as much mag
nesia and fourteen times as much lime
as the humid lands. Any farmer will
tell you that a limestone country is a
rich country. To replace the food taken
by growing plants the eastern farmer
resorts to fertilizers and manure. Start
ing with a rich soil, the irrigationist also
finds fertilizing strength in the water he
uses. The manurial value held in solu
tion in 3G inches of water the amount
applied to one acre in a season at the
University of Arizona amounted to
?y.07. Ten acres under irrigation aver
age better returns than 40-acre crops, in
the usual way.
Land Very Valuable.
In those communities of the west
which have been created by irrigation,
the average yield of wheat, potatoes and
small fruits far exceeds that of the best
farming district in Iowa or Missouri
or the best part of the Mississippi Val
ley. Although comparatively remote
from the world's markets for products,
an acre of land nnder water rights in
the very heart of the arid region, will
command a higher price than an acre in
the humid Mississippi Valley. The farm
ers have learned that 40 acres, well till
ed, will yield more profit than 400 acres
farmed in the old, haphazard way. In
tensive farming and larger profits from
smaller farms are making closely settled
communities, establishing nearby neigh
bors, schools, churches and libraries, and
the isolation of old farm life no longer
exists. The farmer makes more money,
and the deadly monotony of life does
not drive his children from home, or
his wife to the insane asylum.
Roosevelt Immortalized.
The passage of the National Irriga
tion Act is tantamount to saying that
the west is already redeemed it is now
only a question of time. Perhaps no
law has been passed since the founda
tion of this government winch has been
or can be so prolific in great and last
ing results to the United States. No
law has ever been enacted which will
add so much stability, wealth, happi
ness and general prosperity to the peo
ple and the government as the National
Irrigation Law.
Here is a new field for the most hope
ful speculation. It cannot be that any'
human nnud .has yet been able to esti
mate the far-reaching, the fruitful re
sults which -will follow in the wake of
this National Act Lincoln is immortal
ized for his Emancipation Proclamation.
Roosevelt will be immortalized- because
he has done that which will set free
from the thraldom of the congested cen
ters of population, millions of families
who can and will feel grateful to him
and his memory as they sit under their
own vine and figtree and enjoy all the
comforts and contentment of their new
and enlarged life of health, happiness
and usefulness.

A
BILLION DQLLftR "COUNTRY
Facta Which It Is Desirable to Bear
in Mind.
Evidently Judge Parker has lost track
of the fact that the United States has
become a billjon-dollar country, while
he has been dreaming away his man
hood on the bench at Albany. Otherwise
it is impossible to account for his ac
ceptance of "the Republican challenge
to a comparison of Democratic and Re
publican administrations." "
If there is any dssue before the Ameri
can people upon which the Republicans
are more ready to appeal to the voters
than another, it is that relating to the
administration of national finances. But
they will not let Judge Parker, or the
hungry ' aggregation of Democratic edi
tors to whom he addressed his Rip Van
Winkle remarks, ignore the fact that
the United States of 1001 deals with
billions, where in Cleveland's first ad
ministration its finances could be dis
cussed in terms of nine figures. Neither
will they permit him to compare net
expenditures under 'Cleveland with ex
traordinary appropriations under Mc
Kinley and Roosevelt.
When he makes his comparisons be
tween the expenditures of 1$S5-1SSS with
those of 1901-1903 he will not be per
mitted to ignore such facts as the in
crease in postal expenditures from $00,-
942,415 in ISSu to $13S.7S4,4S7 in 1903,
and that the excess of expenditures on
account of the postal service over re
ceipts last year was only $4,500,044, as
compared with $S,3S1,572.
As an index of the growth of the Uni
ted States in every direction -that marks
advance in national welfare there can
be no better standard than the increased
use of an ever improving and extending
mail service.
Neither will Judge Parker nor the edi
tors to whom he unbosomed a choice
medley of ideas from the wit and wis
dom of -Samuel J. Tilden and Grover
Cleveland, be permitted to "point with
Democratic pride" to the enforced econ
omies of Cleveland's second term 1893
1S96, without being confronted with the
following deficits that waited on Demo
cratic policy and Democratic adminis
tration:

With no exceptional expenditures, over
$2G0,000,000 was added to the public
debt during Cleveland's term.
And when they are discussing the
expense of running the government of
a people that has increased nearly 50 per
cent in population and more than 100
per cent, in wealth since Grover Cleve
land was first inaugurated, Republicans
will not forget to remind American vo
ters of such billion-dollar facts as these:

NOT USED BY DEMOCRATS
Adjectives for Which Parker's Fol
lowers Uave No Use.
"We know what we mean when we
speak of an honest and stable currency,"
said President Roosevelt in his speech
of acceptance.
In no official utterance of the Demo
cratic party, or of its candidates for
President or Vice President during the
last eight years, have the adjectives
"honest" or "stable" ever been used to
designate the kind of currency Democ
racy demanded, and this notwithstanding
the Democratic phrase makers will use
adjectives freely and recklessly when
ever they have any "paramount" or
"tantamount" idea to advance, like in
the platform adopted at St. Louis, which
said "the existing Republican adminis
tration has been SPASMODIC, ER
RATIC, -SENSATIONAL, SPECTAC
ULAR and ARBITRARY."
Alton B. Parker says the gold stand
ard is "irrevocably established," but he
does not say that his own personal be
lief in it as affording an "HONEST
AND STABLE CURRENCY" has been
irrevocably established, nor, furthermore,
that he deemed the Democratic party
wrong, when in Congress, in 1S99, it al
most to a man voted against the estab
lishment of the gold standard.
As the gold standard of value was
then "irrevocably established," not by
the Democratic party, but by the Repub
lican party, the only gold standard that
the Democratic party can honestly claim
to have "irrevocably established" is the
gold standard of silence on a subject on
which it never did talk except to lower
itself in the estimation of intelligent peo
ple, and to breed apprehension in busi
ness circles.
PULITZER'S MISTAKE.
DT Does Not Understand the Attitude
of Parker.
Joseph Pulitzer did not attend the
gathering of Democratic editors which
met and communed recently with the
Democratic candidate for the presidency,
but he wrote a letter, of which this was
the concluding paragrapn:

repaid him by an appointment, and who,
in the present year, has repaid him fur

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
It Expands Under Republican and Col
lapses Undor Democratic Policies.
One of the great arguments of th
free traders has been that with free
trade we would have access to the "mar
kets of the world." Well, the only time
the free traders have had control of
the government in recent years was in
the second Cleveland administration
They did not put actual freo trade into
operation, but they came close enough
to it to put most of the factories of
this country out of operation. We did
not get the markets of the world. They
may have been open to us, but our man
ufacturers were going out of business so
fast, under the ruinous tariff schedules
the Democrats had put into effect, that
they could not seek the markets of the
world. Their own home market, the best
one to them, was invaded by cheap for
eign goods, however.
Then the protective tariff system was
reinstated by the people of this country,
and immediately the factories began to
turn their wheels ngain. Within ten
years we have demonstrated that the
way to get the markets of the world
is to protect our own market against
Invasion, build up our industries, and
then branch out for foreign trade.
We have not had anything like free
trade within those ten years, and yet we
are selling millions of dollars' worth of
goods every year in the "markets of the
world."
In Congress, last winter, Congressman
Hill, of Connecticut, told of a recent
visit he had made abroad. He said
"1 etood on the deck of a Japanese liner

"Next day I rode 500 miles up the

That looks as If we had a slice of

GASSAWAY'S FAVORITE POEM
' (Henry Gassaway Davis' favorite poeae
is JSrcelsior. Current note.)
The shades of night were falHng fast,
When up through West Virginia passed
A youth who held within his hand
A banner with this strange commaadt
"Fork over."
"What seek ye?" cried the ones he metf
"I seek the bar'l; I'll find it yet
I'll get that check we want, yoa bet.
He sang, as Davisward he let:
"Fork over."
"Try not that task," the maiden cried)
But only fruitlessly she sighed.
For he replied: "We need the staff,"
And chortled then in accents grafft
"Fork over."
"O, stay, vain youth," an old man called,
At such self-confidence appalled,
"Dost think his name is Giveaway?"
Th youth sang, through the dying day
"Fork over."
On, on he went, by hill and dale.
Until the night at dawn grew pale,
And then at last, with heart elate.
He murmured to the candidate:
"Fork over."
He saw the barrel round and fair
Alas! he saw no bunghole there!
The candidate without his spec's
To read the banner did not vex
"Fork over."
"I cannot hear a word," he sighed.
"You heard when you were notified f
The earnest youth at once replied
And then more vigorously cried:
"Fork over."
They found him, frozen stiff and cold,
His banner still within his hold
And now they send no strange device.
They simply say: "We want the price
Fork over."
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
The People Trust Him Both as Man
and I'resiJent.
More and more, as the presidential
campaign develops, it becomes appar
ent that upon one man the American
people have fixed their affections and
their admiration, and that in him they
repose a serene and perfect trust Thai
man is Theodore Roosevelt
Four years ago the Republicans of
the rank and file demanded the nonrina
tion and secured the election of Theo
dore Roosevelt for Vice President
Against his own wishes, against the ad
vice of his nearest friends, Roosevelt
accepted the duties forced upon hint
by his enthusiastic admirers.
In the dark days .which followed the
assassination of McKinley the beloved,
the old aphorism that "the voice of the
people is the voice of God" was called
to mind as the American nation noted
the gravity, sincerity and thorough com
petency with which the man they had
chosen for Vice President took upo
himself the dirties of the Presidency.
As the years have passed admiratioa
and "respect for Roosevelt have grown,
until now he is without doubt the most
popular man in the round world. That
his popularity is well founded no ons
who knows the shrewd judgment of
Americans will question. No man caa
occupy the Presidential chair for ona
year without being justly measured and
estimated by the people whose chief ex
ecutive he is.
From a popular idol, one in whos
personal gifts, manlv nnnlrtiM a-nd
practical work all men delighted, Roose
velt has grown, in these three years, t
be the ideal President of the most pow
erful Republic the world hns
known, the head of one of the greatest
uauuns ot tne earxn at tne present day.

He is the champion of civic probity, of
national patriotism, of religious free
dom, a worker for and believer in
best opportunities for all men, without
regard to class. occuDation. thpoloriwil
opinions, politics or race or color.
Tne young men of the country have
ia the President one to whom they ca
loyally look as an example of vigorous
mannooa, rejoicing as a strong man pre
paring to run a race. The staid cftiaea,
toiling in the heat of the noondav f
life, turns to Roosevelt as his choice oat
