The coming National Irrigation
Congress at Osdon, Utah, September
15-18, directs attention to the re
markable system of Irrigation and
community building found today In
Utah. The bountifully yielding small
Irrigated farms of that state have fur
nished a theme for many Interesting
articles. In fact, tho Mormon people
have supplied a perennial topic of dis
cussion since they first came into
prominence, half a century ago. Vol
umes might be filled with tho maga
zine and newspaper articles wmch
have been published on tho same sub
ject. And yet of all that has been
said the smallest possible proportion
has touched the real secret of their
power.
It does not lie In their peculiar re
ligious doctrine and practice, nor Is
It explained by tho perfection of their
organization or the dominance of the
ocracy in secular affairs, except as
these have been incidental to the
realization of another and much more
substantial fact.
The Mormons owe their success,
their constant growth ana enduring
hold upon their people In a single
word, their power to the fact that
they are deeply rooted in the soil.
From the moment that the first small
party of pioneers lighted the first
camp-fire by the banks of City Creek. I
July 27th, 184H. their policy has been
to get possession of the lanu and to
make that land yield up to them, In
dividual!) and collectively, a living
and a competence.
True Home-Builders,
Brlgham Young nnd his successors
down to the present hour have been
guided by the true Instinct of empire-
builders. They grasped at the begin
nlng, and have held throughout their
history, the great truth that lae earth
Is tho source of all wealth and that
neither man nor communities can bo
poor or helpless so long as they have
firm foothold on the soil.
But this was only part of their wis
dom. The other part was the fact
that they divided the land among a
multitude of small proprietors. Ac
cording to the census returns, the av
erage farm In Utah is 27 acres. As
many large ranches were included tho
average, it ts obvious that there must
have been many which were of even
smaller dimensions, and this is tho
fact. It Is common to find people
living comfortably on two or three
acres, while some of the most famous
families, like the Woodruffs, have
lived for nearly two generations on
a 20-acre place.
Mormon Power Impregnable.
Those who have been alarmed at
the growth and persistence of the
Mormon power, and have sought to
curb It. apparently have no apprecia
tlon of the everlasting rock upon
which it is built.
Tho Mormon church has been from
tho first, a great scheme of co-opera
tive colonization. It has taken poor
men and made them prosperous
converted tenants Into proprietors,
tramps into taxpayers, hired men in'
to employers, and made the outcast
a partner in store, factory and bank
And how nas it done an tnisv t-'irsi,
bv knowing the value of our great
public domain and proceeding to help
Itself to the wealth thereof, in strict
accordance with tho letter and spirit
of tho law.
Then, by dividing tho land among
those who use It and seeing that the
land owner is also the owner of the
water and all of tho facilities of its
distribution.
Fortunately for them, the pioneers
and those who followed them were
poor. No man was rich enough to ex
ploit the mass. The work to be done
was bovond tho reach of Individuals,
and tho only capital available was tho
brains and muscle of leaaers ana ioi
lowers. This capital was organized
and employed In co-operation. It was
tho only way. And It won.
National irrigation, growtn ot co
operation, repeal of the land laws by
means of which tho public domain Is
being absorbed by s-aiculators tnis
is the solution of many social and
economic problems, including the
Mormon question.
The ntiestlon beloro tno country is
this: Will tho American people wake
up before It Is too late, or will they
procrastinate until the enterprising
speculator holds all me siraiegic
points along tho pathway of tho home
seeker? William E, Smytho.
Interior Town Furnlthes Amusement
for Visiting Neighbors.
An alleged sporty sport struck
Condon not long since, who wanted
to "butt In" to a poker game so bad
that he didn't know what to do, says
the Condon Globo. It made his mouth
water to look at a broken winto chip
and when he thought of a full uand
or a fat Jackpot ho almost had fits.
His condition became so alarming
that somo thing had to bo done.
Of course, none ot the Condon boys
know much about poker, but finally
ono man was found who once had an
uncle who knew a man whoso brother
was reputed to bo tho best soven-up
player in his neighborhood, another
citizen showed up whoso father's sec
ond cousin had once plnyed a game of
pedro with a man who know a real
Mississippi river steamboat poker
player.
The sporty sport ho camo here
from Athena, so it is alleged had
money and big drafts to burn and tho
Condon men, being of accommodating
natures, decided to "sot In" and try
to make it pleasant for tho vis'tlnj
brother who was sure that ho was a
dead game sport and tho real thing
as a gambler to boot.
It was different in tho morning,
though. At daylight the Condon men
who don't know the game very well
hnd all tho sporty sport's cash and
$500 worth of drafts which lie had
packed hero from Athena. Then lie
left town and In a few days back
camo word that the fellow had stop
ped payment on tho drafts. It was a
little different that morning, but tho
Condonites are not much of kickers.
They are sure of one thing though,
and that is that the sporty sport is
not so sporty after all.
They consider him a rather cheap
skate.

headacbo, etc. Bob Mooro, Lafayette,
Ind., says all others gripo and Blcken,
while DoWitt'8 Littlo Early IUsers
