We call attention, once more, to the
necessity that faces the water-users Of
Central and Northern Utah TO get to-
gether and make the needful arrange
ments TO secure fair portion OF the
national funds appropriated for the re-
clamation OF the arid and seml-orid
regions OF the country Much prelim-
mary work has been done, and the gov
eminent officials are now waiting for
the necessary action OF the water-users
who are to be benefited by the pro-
visions Of the defamation act so that
the projects that have been proposed
may be proceeded with.
II seems very difficult 10 bring this
important matter closely home to the
agrlculturIsts and hortlculturists In this
State. Dilgent efforts have been put
forth by the Utah reclamation commits
sion to make this matter clear 70 the
understanding Of the people, and TO
urge them to the required action on
their part, But the movement still
lags, and our farmers and tillers Of the
soil should lose no further time IA per-
fecting their organizations, so that the
contemplated work may be proceeded
with.

government officials associated with

DIVORCES INCREASING.

Never before has public attention IN
evil, as forcibly as at the present
time, Statistical figures gathered by
Carroll d. Wright and covering the
period between 1867 and 1856 are being
republished and commented upon, BY
those statistics 1t appears that the
number Of divorces granted In the Unit
ed States In 1867 was o,937; In 1855 It
rose to s25,535, Estimates based on
what are supposed to be reliable data,
place the present number Of divorces
at $4,000 annually. II is estimated
that there in this country now is one
divorce to every fifteen marriages,
Figures are given for some Of the
states. Michigan, for instance, one Of
whose representatives In the United
states Senate, Mr., Burrows, has recent
ly evinced commendable solicitude for
the moral status OF New Mexico, has
had a rise In It's divorce list Of from
ii9 cases In 1867. to 2,4lS In 1900, That

Guiding children. Indiana Is stlll worse
of. That state IL said TO have granted
1906 divorces in 1867, 1856 In 1886, and
1899, or one to every 81 marriages.
in 1900, Ohlos divorce roll Is said
to have risen from 9Ol In 1857 to 3,2l7
in 1900 All OF which proves that
the social evils OF our time are, by no
means, confined to New Mexico.

reformers are so peculiarly constituted
that they feel the awful weight Of the
responsibility for everybody except
themselves and their immediate sur
ioundings.
Many are anXlously looking for a
remedy against the divorce evil and
they hope to accomplish much by legIs-
laton. What Ia needed first, however,
is public sentiment as a solid basis for
laws and statutes. Without such sem

The reason is that some Of the friends
Of the movement win not consent to
colonization In Africa, but win urge
that the colony must be IN Palestine
or nowhere. This faction, II seems
has already charged the other faction
which considers the African site, as
being traitors and accomplices of some
dark project, emanating from Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain, The faction
which Mr. Zangwill favors viii urge
the use Of the land In East Africa for
policy of opportunism, a place where
the experiment can be tried, and where
the Jews can demonstrate whether
they are capable OF organizing them
selves again into responsible gov
eminent These people believe that,
with this site as II basis, Il may be
possible at some future time TO gain
a foothold in Palestine,
Mr.. Zangwll's faction is undoubtedly
correct, II Palestine were ready today
for the Jews, they would not be pre-
pared to assume the responsibilities OF
an Independent nation IN the midst Of
enemies, and la a locality whore the
interests Of all the world meet and
clash. They need schooling In self
government, such os they can obtain
only IN a free country and when they
are prepared for Palestine, the Land OF
Promise win be theirs. It may, how
ever, be well for the faction that be-
lieyes only IN Palestine, to keep at
work For the ultimate aim OF Zion
ism cannot be East Africa, and as long
as tho agitation for Palestine is kept
up, the real object Of the movement
