THE story of the struggle on -the edge of the arid belts is a record of heart­ breaking disappointments and of failure for causes utterly beyond Ifidividaul control. Under national irrigation these will happily occur no more. WHAT does it mean to the nation to hav«miilions of people gradually past from the servitude of the town to the sovereignty of the country? It tneanf the enlistment of a new army for the defenjlfftf the republic in every "hour of need; This will come, under the work ings of the national irrigation act. IT should be remembered that under < irrigation agriculture, becomes almost an exact science. Twelve inches of water, intelligently distributed at the / proper time, is sufficient to insure on the arid land* an abundant yield of the ordinary farm crops of that latitude. AT one stroke of his pen Abraham Lincoln freed 4,000,000 black men With one stroke of bin pen Roosevelt has made it poesib.e to reclaim rnort than 100,000,000 ucres of land to agri culture, adding millions of American farm homes with their vast volume of agricultural products which will flow from this rich area of land redeemed from the desert. which he said: 'This department does not discriminate between native bom and naturalized citizens in according them protection while abroad, equality of treatiitriit being mjiiired by the laws of the United States,' * "These orders to our agents abroad have,' bwn repeated again and a^aln, and are treated as the fundamental rule of conduct laid down for them, proceed ing upon the theory 'that all naturalized citizen! of the United States while in foreign countries are entitled to and shall receive from the yo.veruinent tb< same protection of i*er*>onH and property which is accorded to native bom citi zeus.'" . He further declares that in issuing passports the state department never discriminates or alludes to any man's religion, and that "in granting to every American citizen, native or naturalized. Christian or Jew, the same passport, so far as it has power it insists that all for elgh governments shall accept the pass- port as prima facie proof that the pet- son therein described is a citizen. of the United States and entitled to protection .t»-Hach. It is a standing order to every American diplomatic and consular of­ ficer to protect every American ciristet}. of whatever faifh,: from unjust molesta­ tion; ami yur officers abroad have been stringently required to comply with this order." • ;• -. •) : ' • ; This enunciation Of a qottt*e of ttction is backed by the cause of justice. The- rec ption recently given the American idea of religious liberty in certain quar­ ters on the continent of Europe attach­ es additional pertinence to the criticism with which Roosevelt closed that sec? tion of his letter which he devoted fir the discussion of the theme. "It is a strikiiiir evidence," he says, "of onr op­ ponents' insincerity in this matter that with their demand for radical action by the state department they couple a de­ mand 'for a reduction in our small mil­ itary establishment. Yet they must kno^ that the heed paid to our protests against ilMreatinent of otir citizens will be exactly proportionate to the belief in, our ability to make these protests effect,- Want Column.

B • ' ' PROTKCTION OF CITIZENS. p. ? Dispatches from St. Petersburg rep- r resent the Russian press as e-otninent- ihg in a dazed manner upon the efforts of tb® United States government to pro- ( ' tect its Jewiah citizens in foreign conn lli tries. The Journal de St. Petersburg ,t editorially characterizes as "stupefying' ;* au article in a French paper which pro- ^ * fossed to explain President Roosevelt's j desire to gain more liberal treatment for Russian Jews nattiralized in the United States and revisiting Russia with passjiorts as American citizens. | ' In his letter of acceptance President |, u ; Roosevelt, gave an authoritative account , / of the ground taken by his own admin f-A^. ^ istration and that of President McKin K ,fty ,w reSar(l8 the protection of "Amer ^.y ican citizens of foreign birth, or of par- tirtilar creed, who desire to travel J abioad;" the phrase is quo ed from the letter of acceptance, ft is alone a» au i, example ot condensed and accurate bt , meaning, instructive. Continuing ^1,'7 President Roosevelt says: "Russia, for instance, refuses tdf ad uX" anfi protect Jews. Turkey rJruse^ p'_ to admit, and protect 'certain setts of Christians.
