Milton was the man who told how poor a gardener Adam was. Calumet , Mlcli , was so ecstatically delighted over the coming of ( lov.

Thoio Is nothing retnaikable about the Chicago doetoi's remark that It Is oas > to got drunk on water , In spite of the denials and doubts that have followed It. It is certainly more dan gerous than to get drunk on laud. 10. 11. llaiiiman Is planning an out lay of live million dollars for the re clamation of the Imperial valley , which contains 1,300.000 acres of arid lands. This means homes for thous ands of settlers , addition to our na tional wealth , new towns and cities , These are the things that make for national prosperity. THE TICKET. The ticket named by the republican convention to act as standard- bearers for the party and to stand upon the platform adopted , Is ideal in every way. It Is dllllcult to see how the convention's work could have been better done than it was Both the west and the e.i-t are rep resented on the ticket and the vvoM eomes Hist. Ohio ib > no moanan "oahtoin"slate. . It may salily be termed "western , " situated as It is so fni toward the setting sun liom the Atlantic's shores. And the real east finds n splendid representative In the person of .lames S Sherman of New York , "Taft and Sherman" will make a team to tie to. Both men are of the big , bioad-guuge t.vpe. It is n ticket that any party might well be proud of. It is a ticket which Is bound to lead the gioat republican party , united In enthusiastic support of the gieat principles for which It stands , to n glotlous victory on No v ember 3. The nation seems satisfied with the demonstration which has been made of the eillclency of the navy , and now Col. Krod Grant Is trying to make a similar demonstration of the elllciencj of the army to piottct the o.istcin coast of the country in the ub-tdii ol the navy. Tlu plan of the praitin inuneuurs includis two separate series of operations the first on the coast and the second inland partlcl put i d In by ii force of 25,000 men and will rontlntif until July 16. These mam uvers now in progress will cost ihe KovoiniiK nt half a million dollars hut the ) will be oarrUd out on mwh the same acute as In war Ureen men will get used to the noise of cannon and olllcers will learn to bundle them- ilves and their troops under direc tions as near like real warfare as pos sible. New York has set an example for many of the states In impottant par ticulars The penal codes of probably a majority of the states are borrowed from or fashioned upon that of New York. The Insurance laws of New York have been copied through the union. The public son tee regulations of that state are n great advance upon those existing any whet o else. And now conies another enactment which everj btnle ought to Imitate at the coming legislative sessions. This Is a piovlsion that , In case of the failure of a state bank , Its affairs Khali bo wound up by the state bunk examiner or one of bis deputies , instead of through the time-honored process of a receivership. It Is the fact that , since this law went Into effect , the affairs of one bankrupt state bank have been closed up nt an expense of $ UOC. Contrast this with the expense In the case of receivership. The proceedings In question occupied less than two months. The ordinary receivership drags Itself out thiough fiom two to ten jours. Dm Ing all this time re ceivers are in charge who draw sal aries sometimes up to or over $10,000 apiece. In addition to those there uiu the attorneys' tees , which amount tc another big total. All these vast c\- penses aio taken fiom the depositors of the insolvent concein. Thcso tin. happy and unfortunate people , whr have alieady lost a large portion ol their savings , have to pa.v thus heavily tor the salvation of the remainder And it Is all unnecessary. It ts it portion tion of that genteel form of gtatt whicli custom has sanctioned but which is none the more defensible for that. The whole matter of receiverships needs overhauling. Kven In the cast of manulaetuiing or commercial concerns corns , the cost of going through re culvers' bauds is enormous and to llects upon the easy good nature ol the courts In the case of banks , It Is little less than criminal. The state has the machinery all ready for wind Ing them up when their financial con ilition requires it The state should do this work , through its own agents and put an end to the ravages of the private receiver , which are not justill iblo either in equity 01 in morals. ALL PHI3VUNTAMLI3 LOSSES. A million dollars would not covet ho losses from Hoods by the rains ol he last few weeks. Two or llitoc states can foot up that much , and il s something that happens every jear t is a peimanent ta\ upon industry uid enterprise. And another millioi lollars would be but a small portlor if the value of this surplus water il t wore confined and held until it coulc ie productively employed. A gteal part of the rainfall has occulted ii eglons ordinal ily classed as semi irld ; where every diop of water a another time of the year is measurec and paid for at a high price to give necessary moisture for ciops. \Vns there ever such a monument to liumai stupidity as this turning to destructive uses of one of the most benelloen agencies of nature ? For the wholi wasteful and ruinous process Is openl ; the losult of man's indiffeience am neglect. liarrlng the occasional downpours which are called "cloudbursts , " and which pour in a few hours into re stricted watercourses moie water than they can either hold or carry off , there Is no reason why there should ever be a destructive Hood in any portion of the country. Every stream in the United States is amenable to engineer ing control. All of them can be gov erned by a series of dams , extending to the headwaters of the smallest trib utaries. If these resorvoli s , great and small , were built and managed with Intelligence , we should have no more reason to fear such seasons than we do that a meteor will strike the earth. And not only would the surplus water be taken care of , but It would be on hand to reinforce nature in those other seasons when a deficient rainfall jeopardl/es or destroys the work of the husbandman for a year. We lack this piovlsion because of stupidity mid greed. People will not go to work on this great plan of con servation. They are waiting and hopIng - Ing to throw the cost of It on the federal government ; just as If they would not have to pay tbo cost of It ultimately , no matter by whom done. And In the meantime they are pay ing out some millions of dollars for flood losses every year ; sums that would amount In a short time to the full cost of all the Improvements that would remove this danger forever.

Hope had been held out that the great statesman had recovered from a recent Illness nnd wn himself igaln. Hope had born held out that several years still mlnht be added to his already renowned career. Piti fully enough , even the people of the same town were nma/ed to see an undertaker's wagon rattle down the stnet and draw up before the house In which the once great man lay life- Ii ss. ss.More More than three srore years and ten were allotted to the twenty second president of the rutted States. And during those seventy-one twelvemonths it came to this one strong man to be three llm < s a randldalo for the piesl dency of the I'nlted States. He won nomination against his own state delegation's opposition. As chief executive he vetoed right and left the bills that conuress had passed. He nntagonl/ed the senate He kept peace with Spain In spite of poptilm clamor for war. Like many another piesldent , this dead statesman , when he occupied the nation's highest olllce , was bitterly censured fiom many sides. In UK last days of his administration armies of unemployed matched across the continent to emphasize to him theli disapproval of his work. Mut in later years theio seemed tc have grown up a gicator apprerlntlor of the power nnd brain of Stepher tiiover Cleveland Perhaps the natioi came to Know him better At all events his advice on business problems piovei acceptable on many occasions. When death touched "the sage o : Princeton" the last of .all surviving presidents left the lopiibllc : in vvhicl he bad been the lender over all. Am a statesman of no small calibre was taken fiom this eaith. ITT OX SOME TAXHS. It has been pointed out by one o ; the congressmen that additional ta\a tion will piobably be necessary to kee/ / the revenues of the countiy equal tc the Immense expendltuies that have now become the iiilo. He declares as we all know , that these expenses represent money well employed. They do not stand for extravagance 01 giaft. Hut the question confronting the nation is exactly the questiot which every individual has to answer "This or that , a new house , an auto mobile , an extension of my business facilities , would be a good thing ir itself , but can I pay for it ? If not whore am I to get the money ? " Our people ought to have to meei this question. At the present tinu they do not , because there is no con nectlori whatever between any giver expenditure and any given resource with a single exception of the reclnrn ation act which provides that inlgatloi projects shall bo paid for out of tin proceeds of public land sales in cer tain states. Money for everything else Is drawn Indiscriminately fion 'any funds not otherwise appropriate ! ' 11 the public treasury. " That is delightfully lightfully vague. People act as if tin tieasuiy weio a foitunltus' purse , 10 plenishing itself as often as emptied A big project , a pension extension the building of some new batttleships foiestry , waterways , anything am everything , comes up bofoie congress The members see that It is good. They are convinced that Hi' ' * people want it and that It Is a good thing for them to want. Forthwith , it Is approved but no money is provided for it. The result is n treasury deficit , such as that which now exists. And this can continue only until the country stag rs under an unbearable lend of deb or has gone Into bankruptcy. We ought to have in this country , as other civilised governments have , a budget. That Is , there ought to be a the beginning of each session , a state ment of revenues available and ex penses In sight. No measure shouh lie passed appropriating more money than this budget shows to be err ham unless in the meausre Itself there Is provided specifically such addition to current taxes ns will furnish the need ed sum. It would work out immediate : ly not in Increased taxation , but Ii limited and more careful npproprla lions of public money. THE PLATFORM. The platform adopted by the re publican national convention com prises the strongest argument nnd the strongest eviderrce upon which to base the confident expectation of nnothe great lepublican victory at the poll In November. The platform wo adopted with practical unanimity.

The tariff plank Is sane and pro gresslvo. Taft was the first of the preside-ill Inl candidates to speak his mind upon this mihjopt His utterance inte-dati d expressions even from Roosevelt. Hev'slon ' Is favored , to meet now conditions , hut revision ilotig the lines of protection which Is demanded by the Interests of the laboring man , the farmer and the business Interests of the countrv In general. The tariff will IIP revived by Ihe republican party , so that thoie tie dangir of loving this principle of prole cl Ion. Rvon should Toft be defeated , this would be true , so that the tariff Is taken care of now Per in that event Hoovevelt would call u special session of congress Im mediately , In older to have a repub lican congress do the work. On the cuiiency question , the re markably effective work of the UOOPO volt administration In preventing a serious ciisis. Is justly nppioved The appointment of n commission to thor oughly investigate the euneney prob lem with the view of giving the country an elastic , and yet perfectly safeguarded system , i endorsed as a .lepublican measuie. The anti-Injunction plank as finally adopted , piosorves the power of the coutts and yet prevents the issuing of injunctions without due cause The sacied right of the courts to review and net , is upheld as it should be. and yet fair play Is given to the laboring man. man.Tlio Tlio anti-trust plank Is of intt ( < -t to the entire country , An amendment to the Sherman anti-trust law which will give the federal goviinni'iit supervision over organizations vvhuh do interstate business and wbnh might effect monopolies , | s n com mended. The conservation of national fon-i- is recommended , and the work done bv the administration along that line already , Is pointed to with pride A plank favoring postal savings banks will find approval In main quarters. The platform frankly refes : to the industrial depiosslon , which came last October , and which Mr. Hrynn expects to malic his meat. Hut it is with satis faction that this reference is made. Thereis indeed cause for satisfaction that the storm was weathered so suc cessfully and that a near-panic which might have developed into a serious situation , was so brief that prosperity- has alieady i etui nod in full swing all over the country. A paragraph of importance finds place near the close. "None of the menses advocated by the republican party could be enacted , and none of the stops forward here proposed could bo undertaken under a demo eratic administration or under one In which party responsibility Is divided. " And there Is sound reasoning In the conclusion that "tho continuance of present policies , therefore , requires the continuance In power of that party which believes in them and which po sesses the capacity to put them Into operation.
