Had such a gathering been suggested a decade ago the promoters of such a scheme would have been considered as unwise as If not something worse. Had the wise men then foreseen the problems and expounded them in all ihe eloquence that was characteristic at the magnificent address delivered yesterday by Judge Lowell, they would have been looked upon as veritable cranks. And, by the way, no higher compliment can be paid a man than Jto call him a crank. It Is ft crunk who pioneers the great movements of the 'day. He is the forerunner of national progress, Ha is the man who never waits -for the other follow to think. He solves the problems of life; he solves the problems of the development of the natural resources; he captures the electricity which is the life of the world; he harnesses the elements and even rides In the air as easily as our fathers traveled In ' ' the old stage coaches. The dangerously near argu ment for socialism advocated by Judge Lowell would have really ostracised him from "polite society," but today they fill the demands of the times. ' "The worVd do move," and the work of the Irrigation congress ls'the open ing wedge to greater things In the fu ture. ' " We might be a little too far ad vanced for the present but the time Is coming when the public lands will no longer be sold to great corporations, and when large land holders will be Ja thing of the past. When the govern ment will Irrigate its own lands am", .lease them to the agriculturalist an J gather a modest rental from its emi nent domain. And why not? Is there any good reason for the government to squander its assets more than an SuuivIl'JS!? ' T" thr any good reason why the government should grant to millionaire corporations the lands of the people that the corporations may grow richer than they have ever dreamed from the assets of the peo ple? We think not. We have had something to say on this subject here tofore and will say more In the here after. Baker City Democrat. . OUTCOME IV DOVHT. Seniors May Hnve to Rearrange Un Vp tor Friday's Game. The o'utcome of the second baseball game of the high school Interclass ser ies Is more in doubt today than at any time stnee the first game was played, as Ohllders may not return to occupy his place as forward In the senior lino up. In that event the seniors must shift their players to some extent. Th. Juniors, who won the first game and are out utter the second one, too which would give them the school pennant are organized as before, but have taken on more "perfection. The line-up for their team will be Karl and t'arpy, fiuarln; Ingle and Geddrs. forwards, and Hamilton, center. L. Wliilaiiisun and Harold Grady will net as utility men. The management of this game anticipates a larjte i-rowii. as tin- receipts will apply n the park funl. unit the Kame will be cxiltliiK as the seniors must win this one to be In the race for the championship.
