One Of tho obstacles in the way OF
State ownership of the arid lands, and
their irrigation, should not be over
looked by those who favor that policy.
This is that waters which originate in
one State frequently flow through s"V-
cral other States and Territories, aid
for one of these States to impounJ
such waters would lead to endless COM
plications.
For instance, in Wyoming the head
waters of streams exist which hoW
into or through seventeen States and
Territories. The water supplies OF Ne
hraska cannot be preserved except by
reservoirs in Wyoming, Nebraska can
not build them in Wyoming, and WyO-
ming will not Nevada must be largely
irrigated from watersheds lying i'll
California, from the eastern slopes ot
the Sierras. One of the largest arid
regions in the United States is the
Colorado Desert. in Southern Cali
fornia. This great eXpanse Of fertile
soil, which only needs irrigation to
MAKE it productive, could only be lrrl-
gated by water from the Colorado Riv-
er. every drop Of which flows In other
States than California.
Nor would the question end here.
Even Mexico would have TO be consult
ed in considering plans for an extensive
system of irrigation. The only way
out Of the difficulty is for the Federal
Government to store the water and to
distribute 1t, under proper restrictions,
npon the lands which the Government
now owns.--Los Angeles Times.

Acts OF Barbarity Due tO Defects In

Acts Of Barbarlty Due to Defects in
Lord KItchener's Character.
From THE River War;" by winston
Churchill: Kitchener's wonderful in
dustry, his undisturbed patience, his
noble perseverance, are qualities too
valuable for man to enjoy in this I'M
perfect world without complimentary
defects. The. general. who never
spared himself, cared little for others.
He treated all men like machines
from the private soldiers, whose sa-
lutes he disdained, to the superior Ofh-
GERS he rigidly controlled. The com
rade who had served with him and
under him for many years in peace
and peril was flung aside incontinently
as soon as he ceased to be Of use. The
sirdar looked only to the soldiers who
could march and fight. The wounded
Egyptian and latterly the wounded
British soldier, did not excite his in
terest and of all the departments of hts
army the only one neglected was that
concerned with the care Of the sick
and injured. The stern and IMPLYING
spirit OF the commander was com
municated to his troops and the VIC
tories which marked the progress or
the river war were accomplished by
acts of barbarity not always justified
by the harsh customs Of savage con-
fiicts or the fierce and treacherops ma
ture of the dervish.

entirely unlawful and unjust, not that

to carry on and foster the work of that
denomination to the detriment OF the III

The Star believes in the law as an agency
of order and peace. 1t believes in the or
ganized exponents of the law as the respon-
sible interpreters and administrators Of the
statutes 1t believes, furthermore. that to
interfere with these agencies in an improper
manner-that is to say. in a manner not set
down and prescribed by the law itself-is
to subvert the institutions of peace and
order by diminishing the direct RESPONSE
bility of the law agencies. 1t Is in this be-
lief that 1t deprecates such actions as that
of Samuel Gompers. president of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor. whose defiance
of an Injunction in New York the other day
1t has taken occasion to condemn. A cor
respondent whose letter Is printed today
takes issue with The Star upon the ground
that Mr.. Gompers was right in his course
because Judge Freedman was wrong in his
law. This plea Is precisely what The Star
AYERS. that the evil effect of defiance Of the
law and its processes springs from an at
tempt to disrupt the system which places
responsibility upon individuals and agents
Mr.. Gompers assumed the right to over
rule Judge Freedman's decision. a preroga-
tive which the law gives to court higher
than that of the deciding judge. A process
stands prescribed for upsetting a ruling
which any citizen deems unjust or unpre-
cedcnted. That process Is reliable. In the
very great majority Of cases It results In

The PrO-Roer Agitation.

The real proposition of the Boer synpa-
thizers is that this government champion
the Beers and put itself in position if neces-
sary to menace Great Britain in the Boer
interests. That will not be done That
would be a crime against ourselves. We
occupy the only tenable attitude as mat
tiers stand. If Great Britain desires our
services as mediator she can command
them any day. But shall not proffer
them when we know that she would con-
strue such an act as unfriendly. She un-
derstands. We do. that II Is not our fu-
neral. She Is pushing her advantages in the
field. and evidently with the view OF ending
the war as speedily as possible. The more
sanguine opinion in London is that the end
will come in less than three months.
Suppose it does. Suppose the Beers, after
being pushed back into their own country
cornered and crushed. Suppose them
completely at the mercy of Great Britain.
Then will come the question of the future
of the Transvaal and Of the Orange Free
State-a most interesting and important
question to Great Britain ana to the Beers
Shall we be expected by the Boer syYnpa-
thizers to put our oar il there? Undoubt-
edly, if current talk is a safe guide. We
shall then be pressed to lift our hand and
notify Great Britain that her terms Of set
merging of the Two conquered states into
her territory. She may exact tribute to
cover her expenses in the war, and make
suitable provision for maintaining peace
but the two so-called republics must stand
That of course would be as foolish an act
on our part as tho now proposed. 1t
would be certain to be resented. Great
Britain is no more sensitive on the subject
OF her right to prosecute the war without
outside Interference than she will be to
dictate her own terms Of settlement when
the war Is over. She has very large inter-
ests in South Africa, while we have none
For us therefore to undertake to warn her
in a matter in which her interests will be
go much involved would be to invite and
deserve and receive a very emphatic re-
buff She would reply to us as We should
have replied to her had she undertaken to
warn US at the close of our war with Spain
on the subject Of the disposal of the colo
ntes that had been wrested from Spain.
There Is nothing for US to do In South
Africa Neutrality Is the only policy, and
that Is dictated by prudence as we'll as by
