Fifteen Good Men vs.. a Democratic
Editor,
Waterville Mail.)


1t appears to lie between fifteen of
Watcrville's representativebusine men
and the editor of the Waterville Morn
ing Sentinel as to what are the actual
conditions in the city as regards the Ii
quor traffic. In bible class in one of
the city's churches recently, consisting
of fifteen of the city's reputable busi-
ness men. the question of prohibition in
Waterville came up for discussion and
the utterances and charges of the Senti-
mel on the subject We're considered by
the group. AS a result these fifteen
men started a little investigation quiet
ly and unobtrusively to ascertain just
what the conditions are in the city
and they compared notes last Sunday
and unanimously agreed in stating
that so far as they were able to learn
the situation the, allegations of The
Sentinel were false and misleading.
and they expressed themselves of the
opinion that the whole attitude of the
paper, as regards temperance and
politics, is obstructive to the city's
best welfare and morally bad. Here
appears to be another proof from a
reliable source that much of our
contemporaries accusation against the
present administration is more theatre
cal than real, if nothing worse.

The Illinois system of criminal
Jurisprudence is getting some hard
raps these days. as a result of the
Hoch case The Chicago wife-mur-
derer. thanks to the interest taken in
him by outside parties, on the day Of
his execution gets a new lease of life
because money was raised to appeal
his case. whereas, if nobody had come
to his rescue with the required sum,
he would have been put to death.
Certainly something is wrong when a
murderer with money at his command
can defeat the ends of justice for
months, even years. while a penniless
murderer, whose crime is perhaps far
less heinous, is promptly put to death.
without any delay. If The right of sp-
peal, which IS not a constitutional
right, is to be allowed criminals, 1t
would seem the proper thing that the
expense be borne by the state, other
wise a great injustice must often be
worked. The right of appeal is often
grossly abused to shield the guilty and
defeat a Just cause. and yet it is
doubtless most difficult matter to
limit it and at the same time protect
the innocent and preserve the full
rights of litigants.

Those who believe that a mans
house is his castle will have no small
degree of sympathy with that citizen
of Somcrvillc. Mass, who shot pri-
yate detective, this week, while the lat
ter was attempting late at night t.
force an entrance into his residence.
The detective was one of a party of
four. They had no legal authority
whatever, but when the man opened
TN. door they attempted to force their
way in without stopping to explain to
him their GRAND. Says one of the de-
tectives, There would have been no
trouble IL he had admitted u.s." IL
will also occur to most people that
there would have been no trouble had
not the detectives persisted in enter
ing. OF course, it was regretablo
tragedy. and it is most unfortunate
that the man used pistol which he
had OH hand to repel the intruders,
tut the fact remains that the house
WAS lawIcssly entered late at night
and il does not seem likely that the
case will ever reach a jury.

RecIaiming the Arid Southwest.

Few of us realize how extensive Is
the work in irrigation which the gov
ernment is carrying on in the south
western part of the country. This
work to which is devoted the money re-
oeived from the sale Of public lands,
according to recent legislation by Con-
gress, means the reclamation of vast
areas of arid lands in that section and
their use for agricultural purposes.
According TO recent government
bulletin. it is now arranged to expenI
81. 300, 900 upon what is known as the r!
paso system in Texas. 1t is proposed
to construct dam near Engle, N. NJ.
100 miles north of Ell PasU, on the Rio
Grande. by which water enough will be
saved to irrigate $1S0.C00 acres of rich
land lying in New Mexico and Texas,
and also $1,000 acres iE Mexico. TIL"
Rio Grande being an international
stream. it will require the completion
of a pending treaty between the United
States and Mexico before the work can
be begun. Mexico for many years has
complained that the farmers on this
side of the boundary are using up the
water of the river. which for 400 years
the Pueblo Indians employed to irrigate
their crops. They raised magnificent
crops of corn and cereals UT to within
a quarter of century, since when the
white farmers have used the water for
their own advantage.
The government is also undertaking
to carry irrigation into the Yuma
desert in Arizona. the country God
forgot" While hot az the internal
regions, Yuma is still said to be won
derfully suited to agriculture. The hot
season there is longer than anywhere
else in the United States. The govern
ment plan is to use the Colorado river.
