THE NATIONS WHITE ELEPHANT

An eastern contemporary, in the act Of loading up
with national anniversary patriotism exclaIms There
Is this for America proud ola great many Of the
Japs learned how at Annapolis and West Point"
Therein Is the comforting assurance that the jap
anese are mere warlke apprentices Of the great nation
that Tean lick all creation with one hand"
The salient lesson of the RussanJapanese war;
20 far as concerns the United States that possibly
this country may get into a predicamen quite like the
one that has upset Russia BY this It is not meant
that the outcome of the predcament would be similar
to the which Russia is facing The United States
navy is something more than navy without a sound
head and with diseased vital organs
But suppose that American white elephant known
the Philippine archipelago should be looked covet
ously by the santeyed Japanese7 The willy brown
statesmen disclaim the harboring of such
thought It requires only slight disturbance to de-
veop war cloud however and trouble between the
United States and Japan future time is at least
within the range of possibility And in the event of
such a contingency the United States would be
heavily handicapped, straegcally, than Russia has
been.
Without pursuing this train of thought farther at
present 1t Is well to remind superheated American
p%triots that the Philippine white elephant is
shown to be- clearly than before, just what
Democratic statesmen have declared It to be from the
time of Its requirement japan and the Philippines are
comparatively close neighbors With the navy that
japan will have within the two three years,
resulting from Russian salvage and war vessels
in of construction the Philippines would be In
imminent jeopardy in of Japanese rupture with
the United States
The only Of American weakness is that white
elephant aforesaid. There appears to be no way in
sight of getting rid of 1t unless Secretary Taft should
be able to induce the mkado to take it present.

NO UNPRoDUcTIvE ACRES


parment Of agriculture which is completely overturn-
ing the time honored theory that the vast in the
west which cannot be irrigated can never be made to
produce but scant natural growth of grass"
So says Secretary Mitchell of the National Irrigation
association If the statement is reliable it opens up
entirely prospect for the future of immense ter
ritories in Tar western country.
That the statement is reliable have positive as
surance from Secretary Wilson, whose wonderful
achievements in the department of agriculture
generally familiar to the public On this point the
retary says, emphaticaly: There bad acres
we have useless American acres will make them
all productive" Going somewhat into detail this
subject, he continues
I'VE have agricultural explorers in every far
of the world, and they finding crops which have
become acclimated dry conditions similar our
own in the west that will in time have plants thriv-
ing upon so-caed desert lands We will this
arid with plants Of various which will yield
hundreds of millions of tons of additional forage and
grain for focks and herds Our farmers will
grow this upon land considered practically worth
less"
Further light is cast upon this interesting matter
by the chief botanis of the department of agriculture
Frederick V. Covie, who is thoroughly familiar with
conditions in the west. This authority says:
"There are millions and millions of in the
strictly arid region considered worthless for agri
culture, which as certain to be settled in small
farms as were the lands of Illinois"
One of Secretary Wilson's explorers, as he calls
them is David c.. Fairchld who is in charge Of the
introduction of seeds and plants He declares that
"the greatest surprises will be in the utilization of
what are considered desert lands for the growing
Of special arid land crops. We finding new
plants from the far table lands of Turkestan and the
steppes Russia and Siberia which luxuriantly
conditions of ardity that the crops of the
Mississippi valley farms would wither and die as
though scorched by sirocco."
These facts make 1t plain that the time Is COM
ing and is not now very far in the future when the
present great stretches Of arid semiarid land in
Southern California will be one vast garden Only a
score of years ago most of the present orange belt
which now yields crop that markets for $2O0O00OO
was Just such desert waste.

EREH SPEECH AND LICENSE

In yesterdays Herald intelligent correspondent
made plausible argument against the prohibition of
public harangues in Central park. The gst of his
tention is that such prohibition is in violation of the
state constitution which he quotes thus:
EVERY citizen may freely speak, write and publish
his sentiments all subjects, being responsible for
the abuse of that right and law shall be passed
restrain the liberty of speech and of the press The
people shall have the right freely to assemble together
for the common good"
1t is the qualifying clause in the quotation that gives
the city authorities constitutional power pass upon
the question at issue. The right of free speech in
the abstract, is unquesonabe but intelligent per-
will claim that there is Limitation upon that
right The abuse of thar right" quoted from the
constitution, brings free speech within the line of
restraint It is permissible to argne public questions
in public place. provided such argument is not OBJ
jectonabe in substance in its collateral features.
The harangues that formerly were tolerated in
Central park, most citizens know, simply converted
that pretty little spot into rendezvous for loafers
tramps and dsreputabe characters of dangerous
kind The park ceased to be serviceabe for its egiti-
purposes. II not SAFE at least not prudent
for women and children to seek the favorte breathing
spot Even preferred to walk around the park
rather than to pass through the gangs of questionable
persons that crowded around the oudmouthed spouter
who happened TO be the center of attraction.
Free speech does not imply license to the extent
of a public danger public nuisance park is In
tended for the enjoyment of the people, and the right
to that enjoyment cannot be taken away on the ground
that the right of free speech gives precedence to
