bidding the building of any storage res
ervoirs in this territory, for it has beel
well understood for years that the onl,
way the Rio Grande valley in Nev
Mexico can have a continuous supply o
water is by storing the flood waters t.

of these waters, necessary to the pros
perity of the Rio Grande valley, tha
the Stephens bill intends to rob New
| Mexico, ostensibly for the benefit of E
| Paso and Mexico but actually for tht
benefit of few land spectators.
AN UNPATRIOTIC PROPOSITION
The syndicate article concludes with
"In one year the International dan
would thus create enough wealth to pay
almost the cost of construction" But
this wealth, if it really were created
would fall to the benefit not CT the
pubic at large, not to the United
States, but to a few private spectators
and to Mexico, at the cost to the United
States of 5000, 900 in cash, and the loss
of many thousands of acres Of fertile
lands in New Mexico. This certainly
seems like a very unpatriotic PROPOSE
ton to be made by a member Of the
United States congress and fathered by
citizens Of the United States.
FORGETFUL SCHEMERS.
Only short time ago the government
contended that the construction of the
Elephant Butte dam would diminish
the navigability Of the Rio Grande be-
low Ell Paso, and now the same people
who asserted this ask the government
to construct a dam sixty miles further
down, and seem to have forgotten all
about the navigability Of the Rio
Grande.
A RATIONAL SCHEME.
The Elephant Butte dam does not
propose to take away the water rights
Of any one, 1t only proposes to store
the flood waters and give them to any
and every person in New Mexico, Texas
and Mexico as well, as far as the water
will reach, for nominal price, to justi-
fy the expenditure of several million
dollars for it's construction. The COM
pany which will build this dam asks no
assistance from the federal government,
but it will nevertheless add immensely
to the value of government lands, as
we'll as to private lands in New Mexico.
MUST MAKE A STAND.
New Mexico cannot afford to allow it.
self to be robbed of the water rights in
the Rio Grande valley. This is only the
first attack upon it's most valuable
rights. The Pecos valley may be the
next point of attack; then may follow
attacks upon the water rights in the
San Juan valley and along the Gila; in
fact, wherever New Mexico streams
cross the boundary into other common
wealths If this first attack is resent
ed and repelled a second attack may
never be made. New Mexico must insist
upon it's rights, must defend the prop
erty interests of it's citizens. 1t cannot
expect others to do this If it proves it.

But more impressive by far than this

Christ a Living Personality.

The living Christ Is the essential Lie OF
the chufch-the hear, sending nourlshing
currents through all it's channels; the brain,
giving unity, harmony and direction to all
its members making It one body. When
Christ died the disciples were scattered. dis
severed members OF Il lifeless body. They
were homeless fshermen-no longer disci-
Piles In school divine OF q divine teacher.
But when they saw the risen Christ they
were reunited, drawn together, needing no
CALL waiting for no summons. II the gos-
pei be but record Of history, an incident in
ages OF changing empire, 1t IS but the wind
ing sheet of buried mummy. II Christ
be living, present personality, then is He
a vital power attracting, impelling, ener-
gizing, unifying, directing. As on the resur-
rectlon morning the disciples were glad
when they saw the Lord, so now the living
Christ thrills the soul Of every believer.
Christ in you, the hope OF glory, Is the
prophecy OF endless joy and blessedness.
