WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The Phillies
scored another victory over the Senators
to-day by outplaying them everywhere.
Jim Whitney, who is usually effective
against the visitors, played a listless
game, and did not apparently put forth
his best efforts. The result was that
the Phillies kept the ball moving at a
lively rate, and earned six of their seven
runs. Sanders. on the other hand, used
good judgment, and had the home bats

But little has been said 80 far on
government irrigation but what is
favorable to it. Before it is actually
accomplished, however, great ques-
tions must be discussed and strong
objections met. A working plan
will no sooner be laid before Con-
gress than it will be assailed with
great strength. The most of the op-
position will come from the East.
They will not see its practical ad-
vantages so much as the other ques-
tions it involves. So we should be
maturing our ideas upon it.
The problem involves not only
questions of constitutional, legal
and political nature, but multitude
of practical details. Here are few
of them:
Will the constitution require al
amendment in order to give the gen
eral government power to engage il
this work?
| Or, will the general welfare
clause give it power to irrigate ant
enhance the value of its own lands
| Has it power as a public carrier t.
convey water to land already owne'
|
/ How about buying irrigation sys
TENS already built where that seem
necessary?
, Does the ''power to regulate com
merce" justify the building of reser
voirs in the mountains to preven
spring floods as well as the buildin
) of Ievees in the south?
Do not the best water right law
: in the United States need funda
mental changes?
Should lands be granted to th
!, state or to corporations for irrigation
What increase in the public servic
