Reclamation
A cording to surveys made of federal reclamation projects
"vd onclusions drawn by Secretary Work of the Department
of the Interior, a colonist on the average project requires a
capital of from 5,000 to $7,000 to become established and it
is to be expected that the politicians will plan some program
of financing, instructing, and assisting the settler by the
federal government in accordance with the policies of pater,
nalism now so noisily championed. But if the government
is to finance and supervise the reclamation farmer, why not
the other farmers, who are forced to work on a much
smaller capitalization?
The history of reclamation is a story of colossal waste.
Projects have been developed, not in accordance with
practical possibilities, but with political pull. The cost of
placing water on the land, has been in many instances, more
than the finest farming land in developed regions could be
purchased for. At the cost of tens of millions of dollars
desert wastes unfit for cultivation have been put under
water, only to bankrupt the colonist because of their barren
ness and to be eventually abandoned. . j
Secretary Work says that of 24 older federal projects only
one has paid its dues and that one-third of them should
never have been constructed. There arc 5,063 farm units in
irrigation projects without farmers. Of the $200,000,000
invested, over $50,000,000 should be charged off as loss yet
efforts continue to create new projects.
But why reclamation projects at taxpayers expense when
there is already an over-production of farm products that
makes farming unprofitable? Why bring in new land at
excessive cost, when every acre of it cuts down the profits
of developed farms? Why swell the food surplus, which must
be marketed abroad? . .
When the nation cannot produce enough to feed itself,
there will be ample time to develop the waste spaces profit
ably to conform with, instead of in conflict with the law of
supply and demand. But that is not the way of the
politician, seeking appropriations and popularity and so the
fool program of developing unneeded and unfit land at public
expense continues.
"Wall, m it happen. I didn't
want any of the family to know of
those Investments, except James.
He hat always advised me In buot
ne matters, and oh, X don't see
how you could do It. You might
have known that Stanley would 6
straight to Lou el la she was here
this morning, simply furious; said
that J should have told her In the
first place, that she could have
told ma that I'd lose my money if
I bought those stocks &a If aha
knew anything about Investing
money! I'm so upset!"
Cynthia watched her ruefully, as
.she eat wringing her hands, and
then suddenly roao, to pace up and
down the room, At ill sputtering
about Cynthia's stupidity.
"But I can't see I didn't
know " the girl began, but
Madame Leland cut her short with
a wave of tho hand.
"You certainly should have
known enough to keep your mouth:
closed!" she remarked majestical
ly. "Even though I did not know
that, I do know enough to realize
that It is Impossible for us to re
main under the same roof," an
nounced Cynthia, sharply. "You
have been unkind; I made a mis
take and I'm worry, but I just
didn't know any hotter. You can't:
expect me to know all about how
your family relationships Btand
when I've been in the family so
short a time. I'm sorry about this,
and I'll do what I can to make up
for It, but I'm going home now."
And she walked out of the house
before Madame Lei and could reply.
Tomorrow 'l'lio At waters' Dinner.
Tarty
Dempsey Returning
Paris, July 9. (A. P.) Jack
Dempsey and his bride left this
morning for Cherbourg; where they
will sail for homo on the liner
Homeric. A crowd of sport follow
era and friends saw them off at
tho station.
The Last Resort
William II. Anderson, former superintendent of the New
York Anti-Saloon League, now out on -parole from Sing Sing,
where he served a term lor emuezznng iuc
nounces the founding of a new order the "A. P. P. P. 1 . A. or
American Prohibition, Irotcstant, Patriotic Protective
Alliance to "supplement and reinforce the work of the Ku
Klux Klan and serve as a connecting link between the
patriotic fraternal orders and the Protestant churches.
It is too bad that six K's couldn't be used and thus make
if double distilled Klan strength, but probably the desire to
revamp the old A. P. A. accounts for tho quadruple I s.
Profiting by previous experience, the organization will be
secret and without the law and no books will be kept so there
can be no more prison terms for its t.vasuir Contribution,
are "accepted only as outright personal gifts to ils founder
and secretary "to be used in any way he sees fit.
Anderson has thus solved the problem of getting ucn
without work. To the easy pickings of prohibition ha has
added the 100 percent profii of the Kleagles, and all in the
name of professional patriotism. No wonder old Samuel
Johnson in his lexicography defined patriotism as tho last
resort of scoundrels."
Debate Onf Evolution
Heated But Converts
Are Apparently Few
Dr. William Branch Riley, fun
damentalist, and Dr. ISdward A.
Cantrell, evolutionist, staged a
heated and apparently unfruitful
debate on evolution at the armory
last night. Indications were that
rubers of the audience went
away with tne same convictions
with which they entered the hall.
As an indication that tho crowd
far the most part was fundamen
talist, of the two collections tak
en It was said that Riley's was con
siderably the heavier. The hat was
passed twice, tho audience being
iisked to contribute to the f.rst if
in sympathy with the evolution
speaker and to the second if in
sympathy with his opponent. Many
embers of the audience wsra ap
parently neutral. "I've been In this
business for 7 years," said Dr.
Riley In announcing the collection
method.
Collusion Denied
Both speakers declared In their
introductory remarks that there
was no collusion between thein
and that the debate was a genuine
affair, with each speaker arguing
purely for the sake of his cause.
Seymour Jones of Salem presided.
Nearly every seat on the main floor
of the auditorium was taken, and
a few occupied the gallery. It was
estimated that over 400 people
were present.
Dr. Cantrell, opening speaker,
claimed to draw an analogy be
tween the growth of heavenly
bodies and animals on the earth
He cited the well known nebular
hypothesis. "We can see the evolu
tlon of heavenly bodies," he stat
ed. "As it Is in the heavens, so it
series of life forms from the simp
lest to the most complex. We find
that life begins with the simple
cell. In the life of every Individual
wo see evolution, you yourself
started as a simple cell and grad
ually developed into a human be
ing. Every person started where
all life started."
Creation Attacked
Declaring that the Bible stated
that the earth was made 6000
years ago, Cantrell proceeded to
ridicule the Idea. Ho had seen
redwood tree in California, he stat
ed, estimated to be 7000 years old.
"Isn't it remarkable," he asked,
"When you stop to think that that
tree was there 1000 years before
the world was made?" He main'
tained that excavations at the site
of the ancient city of Troy had
brought to light 9 distinct civiliza
tions, one above the other. Tho Troy
of Homer's writings was the fifth
he stated, showing that men had
lived op that one spot consider
ably more than 6000 years ago.
Dr. Riley, taking tho platform
declared that the Bible does not
claim that the world was made
only 6000 years ago. "That phrase
'In the beginning, gives you just
as much time as you want," he
maintained.
He proceeded to outline his stand
Insisting that "science and scrip
ture speak together as to the grear
age of the world," and that the
controversy between evolutionist
and fundamentalist Is not a con
troversy between science and the
church, there being church men
and scientists on both sides. "There
is only ono man holding for scrip
is on earth. We find an unbrokenture and against science, and that
is tho man Ignorant of both," he
said.
Teachers Not Thinkers
He assailed the teaching profes
sion In general declaring that as
a rula teachers are "not logical
thinkers. Their mind absorbe like
a sponge, and gives out exactly
what It absorbes."
Riley attacked the nebular hy
pothosis, cited by Cantrell, stating
that it was not accepted by the
best astronomers. His statement
was later contradicted by Cantrell,
neither speaker offered definite
proof either way, or showing that
It bore on tho question at hand ex
cept by way of an Indirect analogy
Hlloy stressed the idea or. repro
duction In kind in nature. "There
are over COO, 000 species, and of
all 600,000 there isn't a one that
has ever missed the law of Gene
sis and produced after its kind,'
he stated. Declaring that there is
nothing more than assumption to
support the theory of evolution, he
asked, "When did scienee and sup
position become synonymous?"
Du twin Scorned
Ho attacked Darwin as a poor
student who compiled much of his
theory from old Greek folk lore,
"If evolution is an established fact
then why is it still In doubt after
6G years?" he demanded to know
He declared that the stato of
Tennessee will some day bo re-
Euarded as a pioneer In true science
and an opponent of false scienee
More states will follow her load,
he indicated.
The debate grew warmer as it
progressed. The actual question
of evolution, whether or not one
species can evolve from another,
was touched several times before
It closed. Riley declared that dif
ferent varieties can be produced
within the species, but that the
species will always remain the same
He cited Burbank's work as an
example, mentioning his develop
ment of Indian corn from prairie
grass. Cantrell declared that one
species will evolve into another,
stating that Burbank had succeed
ed in making them do bo, but not
mentioning any example. i
Riley stressed the point that the!
Bible has been taken out of pub
lic schools, and declared that since
the students were not allowed to
study tho Bible, an opponent of
evolution, they should not be al
lowed to study evolution either.
particularly when their minds
were unformed and unable to grasp
ideas :a their true significance, as
often the case with children of
high school age.

Cynthia obeyed, meekly enough
o far as eppearance was concern
ed, but with resentment boiling
within her. Why should "he be

Who had done something wrong,
he asked herself.
Madame Lelnnd had seated hcr
self; she turned to tho girl fct'
mo distraught that Cynthia's re
sentment was swept away by pity,
fihe hurried forward, all sympathy.
"Oh, has aomethlna; I nppened?"
she cried. Then, with a sinking
heart: "It isn't Jim, Is It? Noth

"No no, certainly not," Mad-
me Inland exclaimed curtly. "Jut

wrong. I'd like to know Just what

The brief talk that she had had

Miulauio Leland cut In abruptly.
"Jii.Ht what did you sny to htm".'"
"I don't quito remember. lie

"Oh, don't be so stupid! I want
to know what you told him about

Cvnthla stared at her blankly.
What had she said to Stanley?
Suddenly she readied the conver
sation. Stanley had talked about
tno town generally, nnd then he
had asked when Jim was coining
baek, nnd she told hi in that while
Jim was away be w.is gilng to
look Into the investments Madame
