But the cost Is not the question. Ret
ter ask what benefit such Il waterway
will be when completed. and then we
can give facts and figures. The limit
of reduction in railway freights seems
TO have reached; II remains To be de
termned II Ii mol possible 10 extend
lake navigation to the ocean by prae-
tical ship canal. Records show that
every Improvement In the navigation
OF our lakes has been followed by a
great Increase IN traffic and the com
mercial results In every instance have
been such that even suggestion OF fur
ther imrovement upon wider scale
must at once secure favorable notice
The amount thus far expended by the
United States upon lake navigation Is
about S12,00o,0 ,00O and marine history
contains no parallel To the rapid de
yelopment that has been made possible
by this assistance.
Lake freights on grain from Chicago
to Buffalo are about ~ cents bushel.
Ocean freights are from 3 TO 3ll cents,
making the rate for the deep-water car
riage of 1000 miles from AZ to AZ.
ing bushel of grain from Chicago to
Europe is nearly 10 cents. the difference
being made up of elevator charges at
Buffalo and the seaboard, freights on
the Erie canal. commissions. etc. 1t
costs twice as much To carry a bushel
of grain from Chicago to New York as
1t does to send the same grain from
New York of Europe, though the latter
distance is more than twice as great rs
the former. Ii an ocean steamer could
clear from Chicago or Duluth or any
other upper lake port for Europe 1t
would save the time and expense now
required in breaking bulk al two inter
mediate points and the cost of carriage
would be reduced by one half This
same reduction would give the grain
ralsers and handlers of the west bet
ter opportunity Of competing with the
cheap grown grains of Russia and In.
dia and South America.
The same argument holds good of
iron and lumber, in both of which an
immense business is done on the lakes
and for which larger foreign market
might be found II carrying charges
could be cut down. There Is not n farm
er, merchant, manufacturer or laborer
in the west who would not be imme-
dlately benefited by the opening OF
such II waterway AS that now being
surveyed"

WILLING TO INVESTIGATE.

The Sun prefers charges of nal
 feasance and incompetency against J. w. Darlington, superintendent
 of the Territorial prison, and
 demands" an official investigation
 Mir. Darlington invites the inves-
 tigation and will gladly give the
 Sum and it's sorehead packers an opportunity to prove or disprove
 their infamous allegations. They cannot prove a single charge ot
 importance and it will require a
 bench warrant to get them before a committee on investigation. Their bold bluff has been called and the people will be given an opportunity to learn the true inwardness of the whole affair. The official acts of J. W. Darlington will bear investi- gatlon better than the unofficial acts of his traducers. Bring on your in- vestigation, now that the ball IS open, and we will see who lies. Criminal charges are easily made by irresponsible people for the pur- pose of venting thelr personal spite put when it comes to proving their alse assertions the weak-kneed op- position will meet with a reaction hat will knock the sawdust out of hem. Stand up, gentlemen, and ace the music; the people are ex- oecting you to make your assertions 5ood, or acknowledge to the world hat you are a lot of malicious liars. Again we say, bring on your inves, igation, and bring it quick. Justice, iure swift, awaits you.

BOOSTERS AND BONDS,

The tiimsy argument of the fly by-night school bond organ, that the public schools of Yuma are over-crowded, like the balance of that sheets statements, will not bear investigation. A close ex- animation of the official records of the last school year reveals the fact that the average daily attendance was 175. There are five rooms in the present building, which gives each teacher an average daily at tendance of thIrty-fve scholars Any competent teacher is capable of handling that number of pupils to the fullest advantage. The SENTINEL, however, does not oppose and never has opposed the improve ment of public school facilities, the lying charges of Wet Nurse Winsor
 
 to the contrary notwithstanding But 1t has opposesed and always will oppose the extravagant ex- pendlture of the peoples money in scattering school houses all over the public domain, when far better re-
 
 suits could be achieved with great deal less money in the improve mont Of the present property. With a twelve thousand dollar school house on the mesa and an eight thousand dollar building in the geographical center of the town we would have twenty thousand dol lars worth of school property that would give less satisfactory results to the people in general than the present facilities While if the twenty thousand dollars were con- centrated in one building we would have structure that would be a credit to the town and a monument to the enterprise and in telligence Of our citizens. The narrow mind. ed blgot who is boosting for third class brick yard at so much per boost may howl himself hoarse, but he will never be able to make the intelligent people of Yuma believe that 1t is a business proposition to abandon the present school house, which is ample for the immediate needs of the district, and spend twelve thousand dollars of the peo- Dle's money in erecting building hat would give less sati sfaction to all the people of the district. Con- 'entrate your educational forces, appropriate twelve thousand dollars 'F any amount necessary to make Yuma's school facilities equal to or greater than any town of her size n the world, and the SENTINEL will De with you from start to finish. Otherwise you had better keep you. hands out other peoples pockets or get of the track when the whistle blows.

THE statisticians of the volunteer army agree that the average age of the soldiers is twenty-four, lending emphasis to the claim that this war will closely follow precedent in drawing its active fighting men from the nations youth. Old age for counsel and young men for war is the universal rule among nations, and it is a coincidence of American history that every generation of American youth has had its own war as an outlet for efervescent patriotism. The veterans of the Spanish-American war will prob ably be the stald counselors of the next one, if history repeats itself.

Darlington says "an ample remedy awaits him in the criminal courts" It would be shame to force such an unboly association upon the murderers and train robbers confined in the peni- tentiary. As far as damage for defamation of character is concern ed, the thing is as poor as a peon's conception of poverty and a judg- ment against it for one dollar could not be collected by law.

An exchange says: "There are women who are comedy, there are women who are homely, though be careful how the latter thing you say. There are women who are wealthy, there are women who are healthy, there are women who will always have their way. There are women who are truthful, there are women who are youthful-was there ever any women who were old? There women who are sainted, there are women who are painted, there are women who are worth their weight in gold.

THE statement of our coprolitic contemporary that the SENTINEL tries to "excuse the escape of the largest number of prisoners that have ever gotten away under a single administration" is the barest faced falsehood it has yet perpetrat- ed upon confding public. Not one prisoner has yet escaped from the prison proper under the present administration. A few short term men have escaped from the canal and wood camps, but that was to be expected and no "excuse" has been offered, nor IS one necessary. The Sun Is rapidly degenerating into a journalistic Lazarus which even the political dogs refuse to lick.

THIS will be the first war in which the Roentegen rays in surgery will receive practical tests, at least on this hemisphere. In the recent frontier campaign Tn India the army surgeons used the X rays for the location of bullet wounds with re- markable success, and in many cases were able to prevent the amputation of limbs and probable loss of life. American surgical science will await with mingled hope and curlosity the result of similar application of the famous X-rays in army surgery when our troops get into active warfare.
