Don Manuel de Aspiroz. the Mexican

MEXICAN of the late Mr.. Romero.
STATESMAN. the first. ambassador.
In a speech at Baltl-
more few nights ago sSr. Aspiroz took
occasion to express the sentiments Of
his government toward its northern
neighbor and he happily voiced the de-
sire of Mexican statesmen to maintain
the most cordial political and trade
relations with this country. So long as
and Aspiroz are at the head of Mexican
affairs the American people can afford
TO laugh at the hostile attitude of the
clerical and reactionary press of Mex
leo. Ambassador Aspiroz said. among
ether felicitOus things.
The ties that unite the Mexican and
the Anglo-American people in the di-
plomatic sphere are firmly and fairly
established. They are based on love
of independence, on the profession of
the principles of liberty. equality and
fraternity, so cherished among cultured
order. justice. progress and civIli:a-
ton Hence it follows that the inter
course of our two governments is easy
and candid, the affairs concerning their
mutual responsibilities are settled on
equitable terms and their approach is
more and more swift and profitable

! of our international relations shall
never be interrupted. My confidence

forts of my government in accord with
the wishes of the Mexican people. to
secure forever the friendship of the
American people; on my experience of
their sense of justice. and on my con-
/ temptation of the benefits for both to
be derived from their mutual assis-
lance, as well in serene as in stormy
times, on the path of their providential
destines.
Indeed, we, the two North Ameri-
can peoples, can help each other, as
was shown when the Mexican patrio-
tism was engaged during five years in
an unrelenting struggle with the
French imperialism which at one time
endangered the Mexican independence
as well as the prestige of the Ar1eri-
can union and the republican institu-
lions in the new world, and when the
great rebellion in this country having
been vanquished your successful states

Monroe doctrine Afterwards, under
the blessings of peace at home and
between our two republics. Mexico
offered the riches of it's soil, the guar

ness of its hospitality to the enterpris-
| ing foreigners for the increase of
| commerce, for the exchange of our
natural resources. for the products of
more advanced industries. and for the
establishment of new ones in my coun-
try. We are already seeing the gains
obtained by your countrymen who ac-
Icepted our sincere invitation, and by
ourselves, who are beginning to de-
veiop our industries and commerce

will be developed. undoubtedly. that
the occasionally stupendous floods have
misled large numbers of people into
holding greatly exaggerated ideas as
to the volume of stored water which
could be relied upon each year. 1t will
be shown that it would not be prudent
to calculate on more than enough stor-
age, experimenting the normal flow of
the river. to fully meet the wants of
the lands now availa BILE under the
canals. To be sure. after 4 few years
of full irrigation, the duty of water
will be much greater, and we shall
find here. as at Fresno. California, and
elsewhere. that the demands of the
soil for water will diminish, the water
level beneath the surface will come
much nearer the top, and then there
will be a surplus sufficient to warrant
new canals.
But permanent disaster would be in
vited should any programme be pressed
calling for the irrigation of a large
area of public lands from the reservoir
during the first years of service. And
! the truth is good enough. Full irri-
cation for the entire acreage under the
canals would convert the valley into
the most teeming and wealthy agri-
cultural community in the world, would
quickly place Phoenix among the great
cities of the country. and would make
all the suburban villages important
towns. All these things will, of course.
be brought out by further reports OF
the commission.
The commissioners are to be con-
graduated upon their decision to press
the passage of an enabling act through
congress, free from complications as
to government aid" Having received
congressional permission to attend to
their own business. our citizens are in
tenigent enough to hit upon some fair
plan for quickly making a certainty of
storage. Having obtained the neces-
sary enabling act. the commissioners
can carry out all duties which may
fall to them with more leisure. 1t is
premature to find fault with this or
that plan for reaching the goal The
| logical way is to take one step at a
time, and the first requisite is a con-
iently broad to give the residents of
the valley full liberty of deciding which
course is best.
Following the enabling act, there is
no reason why Mr.. Heard's plan of
| trying to secure some form of federal
assistance, however slight, should not
be laid before congress.
We take the liberty of warning the
commissioners and the public. how
ever. that they should look out for
breakers in pushing the enabling act
| through. Some of the leaders of the
national irrigation movement are
so rabid against any form of private
or municipal ownership, and are so
selfish in pursuing a plan which prom
ises nothing tangible for the valley.
that we shall be surprised if they do
not attempt to block the passage of the
commissions bill. The united senti-
ment of the valley, however, will cause
even the most ambitious people to hes
| itate.

The Major Was Determined Even In

Many amusing stories are told Of the
great formality blended with humor-

which characterized early Revolution

related by the author OF Romance and
Realism of'the Southern Gulf Coast"
In 1893 the first United States troops
that came down the Mississippi were
quartered at Fort Adams. General
Wilkinson, Colonel Hamtramek, Ma
Jor Butler. Captain Green and other
officers were merry over their punch
one night, and the General. by some ac-
cident. got his queue burned off. Angry
at the laugh which followed his mis-
hap, he next day issued an order for
bidding any officer to appear with
queue. Obedient to orders, all the Off
GERS but Major Butler cut of their
queues.

I'll see him hanged before | cut OFF
my queue to crafty him. and he bold
ly appeared without changing the style
OF his hair-dresslng.
The Major was put under arrest, but
he declared obstinately that he would
spend the rest OF his life In prison be-
fore he would comply with such a
silly command. Soon afterward he was
taken very Ill, and realizing that he was
at the point OF death. he gave instruc;
tons for his burial. which he knew
would be witnessed by the whole com
mand.

bottom Of my coffin. right under my
