. Review of reviews and world's work. h of the public servicesupplied a vivid illustration of the Roosevcltian motto, Do it now, it is the branch towhich the great constructive labor of reclaimingthe desert wilderness was so promptly committed. Under the terms of the national irrigationlaw of 1902. And even more reassuring andinspiring than the actual work it has accom-plished is the manner in which the ReclamationService has approached its undertaking.

First of all, the spoilsman has been religious-ly debarred from the service. Nobody
