coutes, OF. Two States Over River.

The right Of a state to use the
waters Of river having its source in
that state for purposes of irrigation
until the stream is practically divert
ed from neighboring state into
which it flows is involved in case
which is DOW before the United States
Supreme court and which promises to
be one of the most important cases
that came before that tribunal. 1t is
in fact regarded by many as more inn
pOrtant than the test cases relating
to our inSular possessions, for the
reason that it involves the relations
between the states and of the states
to the federal government.
Two years ago Kansas filed a bill in
equity in the Supreme court asking
that Colorado be enioined from divert
ing the waters of the Arkansas river.
This river rises in the Rocky Noun
| tainS in Colorado, and after flowing
three hundred. miles through that
state enters Kansas, where it flows
nearly three hundred miles through a
valley of 100000 acres, in which live
fifty Thousand farmers and about the
same number of people in towns along
| the banks of the river.
The usual rainfall in the valley is
insufficient to provide moisture for
crops, wells and cattle, SO that the in
habitantS are largely dependent upon
the waters of the Arkansas. Colorado
has largely diverted the waters of the
river for irrigation purposes to her
own farms, and intends to divert a
much larger quantity in the future.
The answer Of Colorado to the bill
asking for an Injunction denies that
Kansas has any Interest or rights in
the stream, and that the appropria-
tionS of water complained of were
made in accordance with the doctrine
respecting the appropriation of the
water of the natural stream for bene-
fetal uses, which custom has prevailed
in the arid regions Of the United
States. 1t is further claimed that
Kansas is seeking to maintain suit
for the redress of the wrongs of indi-
vidual citizens, while it possesses pc
Sovereignty which entities il to bring
suit for this purnose.
The fact that the demurrer of Colo
RADIO to the bill was overruled by Chief
Justice Fuller and the case assigned
for argument on its merits regarded
as significant of a purpose to give
Kansas full and complete hearing.
The decision is awaited with inter-
est by constitutional lawyers and by
the people of other states that are en-
gagged in diverting the waters of
streams for Irrigation purposes, Chi

ELECTRIC
LIGHTSl
w. NJ. Chelf Prepar-
ing The Plant.
His FIGURING Mil and Resi-
dence Already lighted.
Lights For The City Will Probably
Be IN Operation Jan. :, 1908.

Phillipsbgrg may soon have good
and efficient ELECTRIC light plant.
Sometime ago Miller Chelf conceived
the idea of'llghting his mill and resi-
dence by electricity; which he could
easily do by the use Of small dynamo
and the ample power furnished by the
mill engine. This suggested to him
the feasibility of lighting the city
and the city council was asked for a
franchise granting him the right to
put in plant for that purpose. The
regular meeting Of the, council at
which the matter should have been
taken up, happened to be on the night
of the election and consequently at
that time the matter escaped atten-
tion. The petition will again be pre-
sented to the city council at their
next regular meeting.
Mr.. Chelf has purchased the Nelson
dynamo, cleaEedp and fretitted it and
now has it in good working order. He
has also placed number of incandes-
cent globes in his mill and will light
his own property, whether or not the
city is lighted. Belts, pulleys ard
other equipments are being brought
from Stockton and the plant will soon
be in working order.
The lighting system will add great
ly to convenience Of the city and to
its beauty. 1t will be a mighty pro-
gressive stride and will increase the
prestige of the town. Every move Of
this kind ought to receive the encour-
sgement of the citizens Of the town and
it isIto -beihoped that the council will
make such concessions as,to make it
both advisable and profitable for Mr..
Chelf TO put in, the plant. Nearly
every one would like to see the system
established, but few realize the magni-
tude OF the undertaking. Mr.. Chelf
. is an enterprising and progressive
citizen but be Is not enough Of mag
nate to put in an electric light plant
entirely upon his own. responsibility
though he will doubtless give the peo-
pie every advantage inshis power.
Therefore, il you are interested in

secured control Of the next House, it
is probable that strong effort would
have been made this winter to change
some OF the trnst-promoting schedules
as a needfnl preparation for the cam
paign in 1904. As it is. the Standpat-
terS will be able to hold their ground
for time, bn6 il is scarcely conceiv-
able that the republican leaders will
venture to make another test of the
temper OF the people under a tariff
which, in the opinion Of nearly all of
them, needs more or less revision, a
tariff that contains many schedules
which Nelson Dingley candidly stated
were ''purPoSely made too high" in the
expectation of an almost immediate
reduction by reciprocity arrangements.
Not one of those ''purpoSely-made-too-
high" schedules has been changed,
and there are other schedules for
which there is no excuse. Chairman
BabcDck has named some of them, and
boldly proclaimed their indefenSibility

that tho President will urge upon
Congress in his forthcoming message
the necessity for immediate legislation
in restraint of monopoliStic com bina-

Senate judiciary committee, and other
eminent authorities agree with At
torney General Knox that the Consti-
tuition, as it stands, empowers Con-
gress to take all needful steps for the

Senator Hoar. as the Post has already
noted, has declared the trust evils
TO be:
/. Destruction of competition.
l. The management of industries
by absentee capital.
3. Destruction Of local public spirit.
4. Fraudulent capitalization.
5. Secrecy.
6. Management for the private

I. The power to corrupt elections
and in some cases corrupt. the courts.
8. Indifference to public sentiment.
If.5said the Senator, the first, fourth
and fifth can be cured, the cure of
the others, in my opinion, will follow.
And he declared that the three evils
named can be cured by act of Con-
2ress. There will no doubt be no
difficulty in getting the contemplated
anti trust bill through Congress this
winter if the republican leaders will
permit it. Democrats will offer no
obstruction. All depends on the at

as possible for. the service given"
President Elliot of Harvard.


President Elliot of Harvard.
When President Gompers declared
the expression Of such radical and
misleading opinions looked backward
toward barbariSm rather than to the
future, he was right.
An educator should make cOnServa-
tive statements and should know what
he is talking about.
Let US take the allegations Seriatim:
l. The unions want to work as few
hours as possible.
That is untrue.
No labor union has ever made any
effort to reduce the hours of labor be-
low that of eight hours. All sociolog-
lists agree that eight hours OF manual
labor is, or ought to be, sufficient.
The government of the United States
has enacted eight hours as the stand
ard. ALI authorities agree that eight
hours for labor, eight hours for sleep
and eight hours for recreation and in
Struction makes an ideal division of
time.
2. Union labor produces as little as
possible.
That is also untrue and misleading.
The American workman produces
more in a given time than any other
workman in the world. The fact is a
matter of common knowledge. The
superior skill and capacity of our
artisans, more than any other factor,
has given us the markets of the world.
The mereSt tyro in economics could
enlighten President Eliot on this
point.
B. Union labor wants as much
money as possible for'itsservice.
Sure. -
Can you blame it for that's Doesn't
capital want as large return as it can
get? Can you censure man for get
ting as large wage as be can com
mand? Especially when his employer
is trying TO get his services for the
least wage possible? Is not labor free
to make its own contracts?
1t is too late in the worlds history
to fight uniOnism.
President Eliot reminds one of King
Canute, who tried to order back the
waves of the sea.
UnioniSm is an evolution Of our in
dustrial age. Conditions have formed
and fpStered it. 1t is part of the
machinery of the times. 1t has come
to stay. :
The labor unions are far from per-
feet Few modern institutions are
perfect. Some of the unions are too
narrow in their views and too selfish.
They will overcome that. Some Of
them have not always been honest.
They have not always kept their
pledges. But they are learning that
honesty is the best policy. So
Above all, the labor unions are the
American workingman's schools The
union labor hail is q free forum. The
Old-time debating school has been
transferred to the lyceum of labor.

the regular ones which cross the
the bridge.
The only objection to the movable
platforms yet raised is that they might
constitute difficulty for invalids and
for cripples who might want to use
them, but even in this particular there
would not be so much risk to life and
limb as now exists from the fight that
comes daily with rush hours.
An expert engineer says in reference
to the matter: THE platforms can
be operated with perfect safety. No
passenger can be run over or run into.
There can be no falling off between
cars, no collisions, and therefore, most
important of all, no danger OF break
down."
Some, particularly nervous people,
imagine that there will be difficulty in
stepping from one platform to the
other, but the difference will not be
noticeable. If the platform is moving
at the rate Of ten miles an hour the
passengers will have to overcome a dis
turbance equal to the speed of about
l 1-2 miles an hour. The level of the
platforms will differ only two inches,
80 that to mount from one to the
other will not be more difficult than
getting on a trolley car when it is
moving very slowly"
The company organized to build and
operate the movable platforms are
ready to have the system ready in q
year from the present time. They
also ask for control of the trolley cars
which they might run over the bridge
between rush hours if preferable to the
public,

Scandal in Sale of Indian Lands,

"If it is not stopped we shall have
the biggest scandal that this Office ever
had to deal WITH" said Indian Com
missioner Jones, lately, referring te
the systematic effort that is now being
made by spectators to buy large
quantities of valuable Indian lands
from the heirs of deceased alloteri
without competition.
For more than q year complaints
have been coming to the Indian Bur.
eau that such purchases were being
made on all the reservations. Agents
of syndicates are buying the land, and
it is said that number of Indian
agents have been cooperating with
them to prevent competition. 1t is
estimated that lands worth $1O,OOO,'
600 are in danger of becoming the
property OF syndicates through these
methods. The allotments to deceased
members OF the Pawnee, Sac and Fox
Shawnee and Pottawatomie Indian:
in Oklahoma alone represent $2,500,
600.
Commissioner Jones believes that
provision should be made for competi
ton by advertising the land for sale
under sealed bids. He thinks this
would insure the Indians q fair price
for their lands and also afford an equal
opportunity to all to obtain them.
