AEOUT IRRIGATION.
The statistics on irrigation in Mon-
tana issued by the census bureau
show that this method or making the
soil fruitful must be largely a mat-
ter of private enterprise. We quote
from a repent bulletin:
"The acreage Irrigated in 1909 has
I en classified according to the
btate and federal laws under which
the works were built or are operated
as follows: United S'ates Reclama-
tion Service (act of congress June
17. VMC). 14077 aires or 0.84 per
cent of the total; I'nited States In-
dian Service (various acts of con-
gress) 67417 acres or 4 per cent of
the total; Carey Act (act of congress
Aug. 18 1S!4) 9.4S acres or 0.0
per cent of the total; Irrigation dis-
tricts 4912 acres or 0.3 per cent; co-
operative enterprises 329426 acres
or 19.6 per cent; commercial enter-
prises E2r.H acres or 3.7 per cent;
and individual or partnership elites
prises 1191.060 acres or 70.9 per
cent Works built by the United
States Reclamation Service are to
be turned over to the water users
for operation and maintenance. In-
cluding these 92.3 per cent of the
acreage irrigated in 1909 was sup-
plied by works controlled by the wat-
er users.
"Streams-' supplied 632G!9 awres
or 97.2 per cent of the total acreage
irrigated in 1909; lakes supplied E-
622 acres or 0.3 per cent; wells sup-
plied 262 ' acres 01 0.02 per cent;
springs supplied 1 7067 acres or 1.1
per cent; and reservoirs supplied
22.R14 acres or 1.3 per ceut."
This shows that. 70.9 per cent of
the irrigation in Montana is the re-
sult of individual or partnership says
the Enid News. If we relay exclusive
ly on the government we may ex-
pect irrigation to be slow. Of course
there are some great Irrigation pro-
jects that could not be undertaken
by private enterprise. It has been
demonstrated too that Irrigation can
be made extomoly profitable even
where there is fair success when
crops depend for moisture entirely
upon the natural rain fif.Il. This part
of Oklahoma is by no means arid.
There is scarcely ever a year that
the proper distribution of rainfall
would not produce an abundant yield
of every crop to which tiie soil and
climate are adapted. But we can

not rely always upon the distribution.
We have had our dry seasons and
we will continue to have them. With
an abundance of water beneath the
surface that can be utilized with a
comparatively small expenditure we
ought to make this section of Okla-
homa the most reliable and (he most
productive agricultural region in the
I'nited States.

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Among the unfinished business be.
fore the governor is the board of ed-
ucation affair. What action .Mr.
Cruce will talte as a result of the
recent Investigation is problematical
although rumor has it that probably
three members of the board will be
displaced.
That the board has made some mis-
takes we suppose. Is not open to
question but the same thing can be
said of every other board and prob-
ably every other department of state
for that matter. The idea that eleva-
tion to office lifts a man above the
human level endowing him with In-
fallibility of perception and Judgment
Is entirely erroneous and so we say
k is entirely probable that errors
may be charged up to the members
of this board and to every other mill
in public service.
In this' inslapc" M. Cruce is-call-el
upon to sit in judgment upon the
board and we have no doubt that he
will weigh the evidence pro and con.
Me will ask himself "Has the board
made a serious Conscientious effort
to cary out the work committed to
it and do the results of their labor
Indicate that they have achieved a
reasonable measure of success?"
Naturally In the recent Investiga-
tion brought about by those who
had grievances the bulk of the tes-
timony was directed toward show-
ing uj) the short-comings of the board
Of the vast amount of real construc-
tive' work designed for the more
economical and efficient management
of the state schools the public gain-
ed little idea. The appoinive mem-
bers of the board were selected by
Mr. Cruce after the most careful
consideration and certainly their tes-
timony as to their work is entitled
to the s 'itj credence that is accord-
ed to llieu ".cusers.
That Supt. Wilson and his associ-
ates have performed a great service

This is Best Value
for the Money
to the tax payers in reducing the
annual expenses of the state schools
by something like $100000 cannot be
doubted and that the eliminating of
about 100 employes from the facul-
ties would bring forth a struggle was
inevitable. Whether all the state
schools can be effectively managed
by one board is stilt open to ques-
iion but it is apparent that this
board has made a good Btart in that
direction and it is entitled to be
judged b the sum total of its
achievements and not by the few
flaws that may havo marked its ef-
forts. .

NOT ENOUGH POLITICIANS.
In a recent interview Champ Clark
said:
r "Instead of being too many poli-
ticians there are not enouph. Every
man should be a politician. In all
probability there is not a congres-
sional district in the United -States
where there are enough purchasable
votes to swing an election. The hon-
est voterB could control every elec-
tion if they would only do their
duty." '
To all of which we wish to record
a hearty "amen." The business of
running this great nnd glorious coun-
try of ours Is of tremendous import-
ance to (lie stockholders In the con-
cern and under our system of gov
eminent every citizen is a sharehold-
er. Whether it be in local state or
national affairs every citizen has
interests at. stake In the managemen!
of government and in order to pro-
tect these interests he must enter
into political activities.
Because the mother country levied
a paltry tax on them our colonial
forefathers rebelled fighting for years
not because they were utiable to pay
the tax but because they refused to
recognize the principle of "taxation
without representation." They insist-
ed on governing themselves and if a
lax was to be paid It must be levied
by their own authority. Far differ-
ent Is the spirit of multitudes of cit
izens who are content to turn over
taxation and all other governmental
matters to the small class who are
designated as politicians. The man
who fails to enter into (he primaries
and general elections and perform
his full duty as a citizen really has
no kick coming if things don't go to
suit him and his interests suffer.
Mr. Clark's idea is that every citi-
zen should be a politician In the true
sense discharging the political du-
ties that are incumbent upon him by
reason of the nature of our govern-
ment and he Is right when he says
"the honest voters could control ev-
ery election if they would do their
duty."
RESULT AS EXPECTED.
Ruffalo News: These free Oklaho-
man newspapers were an interest-
ing experiment but their failure
might have been confidently predict-
ed. They relied solely on advertis-
ing and If advertising meant only
the circulation of printed matter
about a merchant's wares the mer-
chants might as well get out circulars
and distribute them gratis.
But fortunately advertising means
more than that. Rack of reputable
advertising lies the reputable news-
paper the newspaper that has won
its way In a community by thn
staunchness of Its character and by
its fidelity to high ideals Bo that it

advertisements and all. No news-
paper that honestly serves the pub-
lic need serve without pay and it is
only when a newspaper has its stat-
ed circulation price a big circulation
and the confidence of those it serves
that is advertising space is valuable.
