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

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.
