Tn. Success, of Such rroiec, No. Hopeful.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS-sn: The answer to
why Not Let Ireland Cot Is that England never
lets anything go OF her own volltlon.
Irelands hope for liberty depends. not on Eng
land good VIII. but on the Inherent determination
and power OF Irishmen 70 obtain It. Those who
have followed the drift Of Irish thought and action
In the last ten have abundant reason 70 hope
for IrelAnds ultimate freedom. The strong ad
jectiye policy IS being discarded. aud the people
are taught TO look themselves and 70 seek within
themselves for the power well as for the remedy,
to redress the wrongs from which they suffer.
When we consider the might Of England on the
one hand and the long series OF disasters which
have befalen Ireland on the other. we may well
say that they arc optimists Indeed who believe
In Irelands ultimate freedom. O. ~

Likely To Cause Trouble
V. CANT.

The action of the management Of the Imperiel canal in cutting new intake h ,low the international boundary, IS likely to cause international compllca- tions and bring results to the company very different from those expected. couple of years ago check gate was built, many miles below the heading, so that the water could be turned into the Padrones, a branch of the lower Color a To, when from any cause there should b. too great a flow in the canal. It was intended as a safety valve and was wise precaution, but by the nature of things should be only for immergency use and in case of the giving way Of the head gate or other eiious contingency. The opening of the intake in Mexican terri tory was merely trick to scare the peo- pie of the Imperial Valley by making them believe that the canal company was independent of the United States and could levy war against Americans With impunty. Under ordinary circum- stances the trick might nave worked without any danger to the schemers, but the unexpected often happens ln the way of the transgressor.
 The opening of the river into the Padrones is small and in former times, except in flood season, no water flowed | from it into the Salton sink, and the floods seldom lasted long enough for the overflow channel to be cut to any great depth. The opening of the intake on Mexican territory has allowed the tn- precedent and long continued floods Of this spring to run into the canal, ana

BREAK IN CANAL
Effective Work Being Done by Cali
 fornia Development Company

On last Friday morning March 3, quite serious break occurred on the line of the main canal in Mexico, about one mile west from Sharp's Heading, and five miles east from Calexico. This is the California Development Company's canal for delivering water to Imperial Water Company No. 1, and was carry ing about 85000 inches of water at the time.
 This break makes it necessary to turn this water down the Salton Channel as otherwise the town of Mexicali would have been flooded, and very great amount of damage done. Lp order to do this the dam constructed by Water Company No. 5 across the Salton three miles southeast from Holtville, and used by them as heading, had to be cut so as to permit this large volume of water to pass on down the SaltOn river. This dam was cut Saturday, and then the outlet at Sharps' Heading, for the purpose of turning the water down the Salton, was found to be too small to carry the S5OOO inches additional to what it was already carrying. So on Sunday the dredge crew was put to work, and it is expected that in very few days they will have the sluceway enlarged so it will carry the entire volume, and then all the water can be turned out of the Water Company No. system, and the break repaired.
 It is hoped that the entire system will be repaired during the coming week, and all the ditches filled with water again. No damage can result for some weeks, but we like to have the water on hand ready for use even if we don't need it just at present.
The Imperial press., 1905-03-11

being turned into the Padrones at the check gate, the water las been running down New river and other overflow channels so long and in such volume that it has cut the passages to great depth, and it will cost many thousands of dol lars to dam them. The water in the sink is now as high as in 1891 and is still rising. It will take many years, even if unchecked, to rise high enough to reach the lands of the irrigated dis trict, but it is nearing the main track of the Southern Pacific and unless some thing is done quickly this will be cov- cred, and many miles of the track will have to be changed and rebuilt on higher ground.
 The theory promulgated by the owners of the Mexican canal that the water now in the Salton sink has all come from underdrainage of the irrigated lands is absurd. Nearly all is from the excess flow of the main canal, an excess which is unnecessary and would never have occurred with proper management.
 The company owning and operating the canal, from it's source to the inter- national boundary, is a Mexican corpor- ation, the Socedod Irigadora y Terrenao de Baya California, and the fact that it is knowingly, permitted to injure Amer ican citizens, iustifes the United States government in taking prompt action to prevent it's continuance, even to the ex- tent of seizing the territory and building the necessary dams and levees. This course really ought to be adopted and action taken at once. The canal could then be condemned for public use and the amount of all damages caused by it deducted from its valuation. Right here is good time to apply the same remedy used in the cases of Venezuela and San Domingo. Let the Sociedad Irigadora beware Yuma Sun.

CROWNS cLlNk IN CONFERENCE

The Car of all the Russias has
been visiting the German Emperor
eon his yacht off the Swedish coast.
What the object of the meeting
and what occurred at it nobody
outside of the two Emperors know.
1t may have been of greater
historic Importance than any meet
ing of monarchs in modern times.
There are many conjectures as to
it's meaning. One is that the Gar
went to seek the Kaiser's advice
upon the question of his abdication
of the throne in favor of a regency
in the hands of the Dowager
Empress.
If this is the object it is believed
that Emperor William will exert
his influence to induce Nicholas
to retain the crown, bring about
early peace with Japan and main
tain the autocracy, with such
concessions to popular demands as
seems imperative.
The i'll concealed excitement in
every European capital because of
the unexpected meeting of Emperor
William and Nicholas is are mark
able demonstration of the unrest
of the European people.
1t shows that each power is
afraid of the other or convetous
of the territory of its neighbors,
and that there can never be such
thing as disarmament. In this
part of the word the meeting of
two heads of Government would
cause no one to become uneasy,
but it is different in the Old World.
Each power is watching every
other power like hawk watches
it's prey, and when rulers like
those of Germany and Russia come
together Immediately there is a
autter. Unless there be wonder
full change at some time in the
distant future all Europe must go
on maintaining an armed peace,
with now and then an occasional
bloody war.
There seems 20 be no help for
it, Hague congresses to the CON
trary.

George Westinghouse, who is
himself a trustee, clearly recognizes
that trustee management won't pull
the Equitable Society out of the
mudhOle. His scheme to have the
stock of the company distributed
among 5000 leading policy holders
is an interesting contribution to
the literature of the situation.
Trustee control is doubtless better
than Hyde control, and policy
holding control would probably be
more satisfactory than trustee
control.
