Marcus Aurelius. 4 THE VALUE OF IRRIGATION. AN ULTIMATE process in the Willamette valley is to resort to the widest possible extent to irrigation. it is destiny, ,and It will come. Present day farm era may raise their hands in holy horror at the idea, but natural laws care nothing for that. From time immemorial the housewife has known that water saved and aided , . her flowers. Without water the green lawn is impossible. The farmer himself has long used water In rearing and saving his tomato and cabbage plants. If water is a saving - -agency for all these things, the same water ia a saving agency for the ' larger crops. Robert Gellatly, of Benton coun ty, working under direction 6f the department of agriculture, grew onions on an irrigated plat, and got a yield of 850 pouads, while on an 'aqual but unirrlgated plat he got , but 350 pounds. Oswald West, -under the same supervision Sot from hla hop yard In Benton county,. 1,150 pounds per acre on irrigated, and 800 pounds per acre on unirrlgated land .Wnirrigated corn on the Oregon Agri cultural College farm returned 5, ' 34? Dounds of srreen fodder, while i " iSTlgated once the yield was 7,000 and, Irrigated twice, 9,666 pounds. . On the same farm unirrlgated pota toes yielded 2,604, irrigated once, fl, 760, and twice. 7,500. G. R. Bag ley of Hillsboro turned water in July on clover that had been sown in , February and 52 days latter cut a 5 clover crop three feet high. From , the eight acres he took 2 0 tons of vetch hay, 100 tons of green clover, - four and a half tons of clover hay, and eight tons of clover silage, be Bides having a mulch crop left six "to ten Inches high. These are tangible and formidable - results. Gradually the value of the ' process will become understood, and, one after another, men will come to I Utilize it. .The possibilities for the J t : agriculturist that daily flow by his j .farm In the running streams of the .Willamette valley are, measured in dollars, both Invaluable and inestim ; able. The water is the agency that loosens the soil's fertility at the mo ment when it can be of the greatest service to the growing plant, and whether we accept It now or not, 1b I, : 4 destined to be an agency of great I r' ralue and great wealth In the region. , 'v- -7 Little by little, the green spots here ' ; and there among the dry, will dem Onstrate the possibilities of frnetifl- I i I leal littnko Bteerer? Is It Indeed not both? The progressive man Is the salt of society. Ho sees above and beyond his own impossible ambition, and looks abroad for the enlargement of the pleasures and "comforts of the race. All men In the. nation but the wantonly stupid see what the repre sentative system has brought the I'nlted States senate to. All beard recently the pleadings of President Roosevelt with that Imperial body for bread for the American people. They saw Mr. Aid rich hand out a stone. For six long months they saw message after message sent from the White House, entreating that rotten resort of trust lawyers to give the country remedial legislation and saw every petition denied, coldly, bluntly, im periously denied. Why were they de nied, and by whom? Why were the desires of the American people re sisted, and by what authority? One single incident tells the story. It was tho day In the senate, when La Follette was striving for the de feat of the infamous Aldrlch 'cur rency bill. The pressure in the chamber was, in the words of an eye witness, "something awful." The air was electrical with feeling. Aldrlch was in command, openly, shamelessly driving hard the senate,-and senators sat there, mortified beyond expres sion because they knew they must submit or earn the ill-will of their master. Senators openly admitted that their position was galling, and some even hesitated to submit. Every person in Washington knew of the shamelessness of Aldrlch assumption of command that day, and of his open flaunting of it, as though, after months of excoriation he purposed to let the American peopla know that" he Is supreme, after all. It Is not ex aggeration to say that people fairly gasped when he went to the vice- president, spoke In a peremptory tone, returned to the middle aisle, and pointing at his own breast. In a dictatorial manner gave the signal to Fairbanks which the latter obeyed, recognizing him, so as to cut off de bate and start the rollcall. Such Is this vaunted representative Bystem in all its symmetry and bjrauty. Mr. Aldrlch is the master who rules with his imperial scepter, even to the vice-president of the United States, and here In Oregon we are told that no modification must be made In the system. It Is at such as he that the Oregon method Is di rected, and with its wide adoption In the other Btates would drive this ar rogant creature from the chamber even fis the money changers were driven from the temple. What a bunko game it 1b, and what a bunko steerer that does it, for this continual lamentation to go up in Oregon for perpetuation of the system that gave us Aldrlch, and made him bigger than Roosevelt, bigger than the peo Never was a professional ghoul la -faired by a more mercenary spirit because the sole aim and end of the Murphy-Connere crowd, aided by Judge Parker, Is the perpetuation of the ascendency of the Belniont-Ryuu I Hi combination, to which Democracy Small Change The war for liberty l never ended.

Some people may be Inclined to differ with the railroad conscience and to argue that 90 per cent of the complaints In this case cmji not Justlr bo made subservient to the Interests of 10 per cent, but the railroad conscience sternly, stolcly, bravely and amid jeers clings to Its Ideal.

C ORRESPONDENCE to The Jour nal from Washington Intimates that evidence accumulates to prove the existence of an Im mense fund to defeat members of the congress who have been vigilant to oppose the illegal trusts. Men tion is made of the fierce fight now made on Congressman Ralney of Il linois, who achieved a reputation for particularly brilliant, effective work in exposing the methods of the Am erican watch trust and who brought to light, from sources hitherto un known, facts bearing on the Stand ard Oil company's objectionable pro- j cedure. The Journal believes that the sit uation In Mr. Ralney's congressional district Illustrates the Imperative need for the enactment of a federal law requiring the publication, before election day, of all contributions of money to campaigns for president, vice-president, senators and represen tatives.

The elder Adams and Jefferson lived through the terms of Madison and Monroe, and John Qulncy Adams lived through the administrations of Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, and most of Polk's. Van Buren, Inaugurated in 1 S r? 7. lived until 1862, a year after Lincoln's inauguration. Buchanan lived till 186S, Pierce till 1869 and Fillmore till 1S74.

In the case of Governor Chamberlain, he had a better example set before him. Neither Governor Grover nor Governor Thayer accepted more than the consti tutional salary dor the most severe test, and the legis lators and machine leaders have been rebuked. It Is safe to say that two years hence no similar effort will be made to play horse with a principle that has been vindicated by the people. One of the more spectacular results waa the holce of a Democratic I'nlted States senator by a republican stato, because of popular distrust of the re publican candidate, backed by a discred ited machine. The people elected Cham berlain senator, Just as they elected him as the democratic governor of the state two years previously. The legislature Is now pledged to carry out the wlll of the people, and the popular election of senators is an assured thing in Oregon. Instead of being confused by the 13 propositions in addition to the regular state ticket and the senatorial propo sition, the people voted with great dis crimination upon all the issues.

But In tow x. Sunday marriages are not more con venient for the friends and are dis tinctly a nuisance to the clergy, and mav well be abolished altogether. That is not to intimate tnat a mar riage is not a sacred and holy thing. Rightly entered into it is the most sacredly binding and most holy of tile-. and our church altar Is a fitting plac for such a ceremonv. But not on hun day, for It is. aside from Its religious aspect, also a social ceremony, and its celebration Is naturally marked with joyfulnesB and the overflow of good spirit.
