WBUNKSDAY, DKCE.MHRU 24, 1901'
The trutlis or nature come into
view like tlio distant stars, filling
the night of the world with now
wonder and new light. Truth
springs like flowers on the fields
and hedgerows of life always
modest, always unobtrusive, al
ways gladsome. Give us dis
cernment to see it; give us
sense to welcome It; give us un
derstanding to know its worth,
and generosity to extend it to
those who know it not. George
J. Holyoake.

This Christmas eve greets the

Individual, 'tho thought, the actions of
today are giants in form and spirit.
Civilization is a clash of giants.
Such monstrous shapes and Ideas as
throng the current records of the
world, belong to the realm of fairy
land.
Armies and navies beyond the an
cients wildest dream, we seek yet to
enlarge. Government better than the
Ideality of tho sages, wo seek to beau
tify and strengthen. Thought fleeter
and bolder than the lightning's gleam,
we urge onward to higher flights.
Charity broader than the farthest
frontiers of nations, we push outward
to encompass the Infinite limit of hu
man need.
Happiness that Is world wide, we
yet strive to Intensify, and faith that
knows no bound, reaches upward to
touch the very borders of the spiritu
al realm!
Not all tho stockings hung tonight

Not all the struggles made by man,

stockings will be greater tonight

The world is not perfect, nor should

nothing but sonow, Is like a nut with

The friends of Irrigation are not to
entov smooth sailing.
Bven before the recent irrigation
Inws ate put Into execution, the ene
mies of the West nre seeking to en
compass the defeat of the nlm of these
laws,
Tin. Maxwell irrigation law lio-
vldes that the settlers shall repay the
I government the actual cost or putting
water upon the land, this money to
! bo applied by the government In fur
ther leclamatlon schemes, thus cre
ating an endless chain of government
'irrigation work and an endless chain
of homes, until the arid lands of the
I West nre all reclaimed.
I Congressman t-iccy, chairman of
I the house public land committee,
isays It Is now the intention of the
I enemies of irrigation by the govern-
iment to pass n "free home" bill, giv
ing the Irrigated lands without cost
to settlers.
This will abolish the perpetual Irri
gation fund, take the very life blood
from the Irrigation law. and stop thej
reclamation of the arid land, right
at the threshold of Its highest stage
of progress.
The Hie of the irrigation laws de
pend upon their continuance in the fu-.
turc; the provisions that relate to
the permanent fund are the basis or
the movement. Take these away, and
the entire scheme falls Hat.
"Kroo homes" is the worst blight
that could be placed upon the West-1
The laud leclalmed Is worth ten times'
the cost of Its reclamation. The
terms or payment are such that poor j
men can reach them, and the amount ,
of land sold to each individual Is
limited to the producing capability of
the land, so there is no possibility of
land giabbcrs coming Into possession
of it. 1
Don't pass a fiee home bill for the
arid states: the West wants to pay
for the land, so the price may be ap
plied to further developments by the
government. We want a poriietual
fund, made secure and endless, that
the last acie of the wilderness may
bo transformed by Us own strength,
Into habitable regions.
The enemies of irrigation are
watching for an opportune time, at
which to strike a blow that will de-1
feat government projects. Western ,
congressmen will be confronted with 1
many wolves in sheops" clothing with
in the next few years.
A DAY OF EXPERTS.
On 'every hand Is heaid the cry for
practical men, for thorough men, for
experts.
Railroads need men or knowledge
as well as theory. They want young
men of strong arms and strong minds
to llll tho swarming ofllces In which
are generated the world's traffic.
The government needs thousands of
civil engineers in the West, the min
ing corporations need them by the
hundreds. Men who can put 011 a pair
I of gum boots and wade into irrigation
thchemes and mining propositions,
j The kid-glove day Is past. The
I white shirt is no longer the insignia
of an education. Theory no longer
satisfies the demand for brains.
The Interior department has made
I a call for young men who have a fit
ness for positions In the vast Irri-

fortune to posterity. This calamity 1
