Tlii i n K" of politics nnd few
' men arc in public life today who
have th moral courage to support
ti measure which is not in slrict
' accordance with their wIiticHl plat
form, without regard to whether
the measure would lx! for the hunt
intercuts of the Nation or not. '
Obviously we have too many
politicausand practically no states
men, for ft man is simply a politi-
iun and not a stutsman so long a
he neglects or refuses to suport a
measure that liin own soul assure
him in right. The south and went
with tneir small delegation have
hammered nt the capital for ,tho
proper recognition of tlfir natural
resources for many a weary day.
That there is no department or
liurcau of the national government
devoted to the mining iuU'renta of
the United State in proof sufficient
that there haw not boen many
statcmen assembled at the Nation's
t'apltol at any time, or provision
would have. beeu made, giving
proper recognition to these im
mense intercuts, . .
The mutter of Irrigating millions
of acres of land, which in their
present condition are comparatively
worthless is a subject tho impor
tance of which the Government has
'recognized, but to which it has so
far given nieagur attention. It is
true that it has established twenty
odd Forest Reservations and Con
gress has passed a law enabling
the State to create and control
irrigating districts nnd .to supply j
water to settlers (which Montana j
has recently made use of) in the 1
hope that tho State having arid
semi-arid hinds would take the
matter off the Government's shoul-

of ' party measure', has selected
