Three presidents of the United
States have toured the arid region of
the West In the past 12 years. The
view which tiioy entertained of ir
rigation, as disclosed In their speech
es, furnishes a most Interesting gauge
by which to measure the growth of
that cause.
Benjamin Harrison traversed the
West 12 years ago, In ISM. The date
or his trip was coincident with the
earliest national organization looking
to a development of a widespread
public sentiment In aid of irrigation.
At that time nobody seriously dream
ed of a system of public works, and
certainly not of n public works to be
built by the nation.
President Harrison marveled at
the contrast between the desert and
the garden wherever he behold the
results of Irrigation. Ho paid many
graceful compliments to the pioneers
who una overcome natural dlflleiil-!
ties and made the streams How out ;
upon the land. But there wuh noiu-.
lug, oltlior in his speeches or his con-'
vorsatlon, to show that he had any '
appreciation of the fact that he was I
In the presence of one of the tremon- i
dous national issues of the future.
Harrison No Irrlgationlst.
On the contrary, he held to the 1
Eastern view that irrigation is a 1
poor makeshift for rain and ho was I
plainly relieved when ho opened his '
eyes one morning to llnd himself!
back in the rainfall region. This was
at Hastings, Neb. There ho made1
a speech from the rear end of tho ;
train and congratulated his hearers j
on living In a place "whore God fur-i
nlshes tho rain." Tho people np
plaude l enthusiastically. At that I
time tno name of irrigation had no j
power to ovoko popular response any
where, j
McKlnley and the West.
It was 10 years later when William j
-McKlnley made much tho same trip
that President Harrison had taken in
1S91. During the intervening decado'
public sentiment had undergone a
change concerning irrigation. Time
had shown that tho reclamation of
arid lands, and tho making of homes
upon them, is a work which does not
lend Itself to speculative methods,
like mining and town-booming. It is
a sober industrial process which
pays enormously in the way of social
and economic gains, but does not re
turn glittering profits to the absen
tee investor. Irrigation Is for tho ir
rigator, not for the boomer, the pro
moter and tho speculator.
William McKlnley looked upon tho
arid region with a vision which was
denied his predecessor. He wns able
to see that Irrigation possesses cer
tain advantages over dependence on
rainfalls and that tho day would como
when it would present a practical
Issue of stupendous moment. Ho
said as much in his speeches and J
went further in private. conversation
But ho also added that it was a ques-
tlon for the future which would he

tne stage or action.
Roosevelt, the Champion.
following McKlnley by only two
years. Theodoro Hoosovelt beheld
wave of public sentiment in beliaif
of national irrigation. True, ho had
done much to create this wave, both
before and after his accession to the
presidency. But no one man, oven If
ho bo first in all tho land, makes
American puuiic opinion.
hi the two short years intervening
between the visits of McKlnley and
Hoosovelt the irrigation Idea took
root and spread as perhaps no other
social or economic proposition over
did in this country in tho same space
or tlmo. Tho president and his trav
ollng companions looked ont and be
held tho desert, as tho earlier presl
dents and their friends had done.
But they saw not the desert alon
they had tho imagination and tho gift
of prophecy to see the streams har
nessed and (lowing, like bands of sil
ver, across tho soli; to see tho brown
waste give placo to field, orchard and
garden; to mjc cactus, sagebrush and
greasuwood fall back to mako room
for red-roofed, vino-covered cottages.
And in their ears was the murmur of
moving waters and the laughter of
happy children. William B. Smythe.

W is pure?"
Doctor: "I have seen it brewed. Cleanliness
is carried to extremes in that brewery. The beer
is cooled in plate glass rooms, in filtered air.
The beer is then filtered. Yet, after all these
precautions, every bottle is sterilized by Pasteur's
process after it is sealed. I know that beer
treated in that way is pure."
Patient: "And is pure beer good for me?"
Doctor: "It is good for anybody. The hops
form a tonic; the barley a food. The trifle of
alcohol is an aid to digestion. And the custom
of drinking beer supplies the body with fluid to
wash out the waste. People who don't drink
beer seldom drink enough fluid of any kind. A
great deal of ill-health is caused by the lack of it."
Patient: "Hut doesn't beer cause biliousness?"
