WORK OF IRRIGATION Irrigationi becoming the greate tfact r in the work of homebuilding in America. and its importance is be .-ming more fully recognized every day. The New York Sun said in a recent editorial that the men who are pushing irrigation into the arid regions of the great West are bene fiting more of the populace of this coun try directly and indirectly than any other body of men who are interested in public work. More irrigation means more productive homes for individual farmers and homes that once occupied, will not be deserted. as crops and prosperity are insured to the farmer who has the water supply under his control. Irrigation means more traffic for the railroads, more and better food for the people who live where food is scarce and high. It develops those regions of the country that most need developing; it re lieves congestion in the older agricultural regions by affording new and attractive field for the progressive young men. It is a work that should be more appreci ated and encouraged. SALOONS AND THE LAW The saloon business under the terms of the law as it applies to that especial line, is a perfectly legitimate business. But of all lines of commerce, it is the pecular and habitual "edger" It is never satisfied with its limitations under the law, and is invariably seeking to do, and be. just a little more than the law per mits it do and be. This is the fundamen tal cause of its constant trouble witn the law and the people. Last fall the Astor- ian tried to make it plain to the saloon- men of this city that regulation, and a palpable recognition ;of the laws and ordinances, would save them infinite trouble, but the advice was scorned and the paper condemned in unmeasured terms by the whole fraternity for its de mand that they get in line and observe some of the legal essentials. Now, an - other and more sweeping law has been made effective in two of the big precincts of the city, and as it is a law that is net susceptible of circumlocution, but just a simple edict forcing them out of business in given territories, it is promptly obeyed; when, had some deference been paid to the less rigorous statutes, and the busi ness carried on w:th some respect for mandates made and provided for its re gj'.ation, the invoking of the local option 5 THE LA GRANDE NURSERY I I SLUDJ TREES J Is one of my special- ties. Delivery to be made on or after t March 16. J Special bargains on Roses rule might have been avoided, or, at least defeated. Every time a saloon passes the restrictions established by law and the ordinary code of decency, it invites the operation of the law that puts it out of running and is therefore responsible f r its own undoing The business, as it is understood, and operated, here, and every where, has only its legal legs to stand or ; it has nothing within itself to recommend it nor justify its existence and shou'd therefore be the most careful to adhere to the line of popular sufferance; yet strangely enough, it is the very last to conform to any sort of prescription. Now the fear is abroad, and well justified that the prohibitionists will endeavor to extend the field of their successes and the saloon men on nettles to know just where the next sortie will be made. It pays to sit up and take notice once in a while. Morning Astorian. A SUICDAL POLICY By a little common sense and polit cal prudence the czar might have Kept the douma not unfriendly to the throne. In stead, all its demands were dismissed offhand and it was reminded of the im portance of the people's representatives under the law of the czar's making. Official Russia was as'.ounded wnen an overwhelming majority of radicals was elected to the douma. That was due to tba jmwrrr.er.t's ;c.-;w'.0ii Oa.uaiu uf repression, even at the polls. Now the government has seen even the conserva tives in the douma turn radicals because of the throne's refusal to make a single concession. Out of nearly 500 members only seven were on the side of the gov ernment on the vote censuring Premier Goremkyn for his reply to the address of the czar. "Go to the douma and die there with Jory rather than die here with shame," was the parting injunction given to the village deputies of Penna. If that is to be the spirit of the people's deputies the czar may well look to the safety of the dynasty. Emile Ollivier, Napoleon Ill's minister downfall, declared that "nn government has perished except by suicide" Nicholas II could not hasten the government's ruin more surely than by his pi licy of folly.
