CoLoRADo WIlL BH CURED

The hayward Colorado river viii be
forced back to its normal channel and
the homes and lands Of many thous-
ands Of thrifty farmers will be saved.
That assurance seems to be warranted
by the vigorous measures to be taken,
as reported from Washington.
For this cheering news, which is
highly important to all Of Southern
California, thanks are due primarily
to the Los Angeles chamber of COM
merce and certain individual citizens
who appealed for aid to the California
delegation i'm congress and to the
president. Thanks also are due to
Senator Flint and his confreres in
congress, to the president for his
prompt action and to e. II. Hartman
for his ready response to the presi-
dents request for immediate measures
OF relief
The cost of this renewed effort to
curb the Colorado will be, as estl-
mated, about S2,OOOOOO. Tie Southern
Pacific company will undertake the
task at once, depending on congress,
as Mr.. Hartman says in his answer
to the president, to enact Legislation
"that will aid us with the burden"
1t seems that the present undertaking
is less difficult than the former one,
Epes Randolph, Mr.. Harriman's rep
resentative, says the break can be re-
paired in thirty days. It will be an
immense undertaking, but far less
difficult than the one that confronted
the engineers in closing the, first
break"
The international question raised by
this dilemma may present even great
river. The source of the trouble is
on the Mexican side of the boundary
line, and Mexico claims as much right
as the United States to the waters
Of the Colorado. But because the irri-
cation works are solely for American
benefit the Mexicans disclaim any re-
sponsibility for the disaster resulting
from failure to restrain the river on
their side.
The rather delicate diplomatic ques-
ton is likely to be solved without
trouble, however unless friction is en-
gendered by the indiscretion Of ag-
gressive Americans. The idea has
been preached that the annexation of
Lower California to the United States
is the logical solution of the problem
and the only one that can insure per-
manent settlement of the Imperial and
adjacent districts.
Mexico will not only refuse to listen
to any suggestion of the kind, but will
surely be aroused to resentment If the
idea is discussed seriously on this side
of the line. The tenacity with which
Mexicans cling to their territory is
evinced by a law which stamps as
treason, punishable by death, the act
of any citizen favorable to the aliena-
ton of Mexican territor:.-
The relations between the two re-
publics are so amicable, however, that
there is no serious cause for appre-
hension about the issue raised by the
unruly conduct of the Colorado river.

THE MARRIED LIFE

1t is a little rough for Col. Waiter
son to intimate that marriage at the
best represents the minimum of I'M
happiness rather than the maximum
of happiness but we can agree that
the single man is entitled to an in
junction to restrain married men, blat-
ant and bumptious because of their
greater happiness, from prodding and
shouting at him such epithets as
moral leper.'
For years it has been deemed emil
nently proper for every passerby to
take a back-handed slap at the bach
elor, forgetful of the fact that, If mar
riage is all that it is Cracked up to
be- the man who, with malice afore-
thought or from necessity, sews on his
own buttons during the course of his
natural life is more to be pitied than
censured, and that if a particular bach
elor has chosen the better part he ought
to have a little commentator for his
display of judgment in the face of
overwhelming public opinion. Col.
Watterson is the first man of any con-
sequence who has dared to advocate
the theory that bachelors have rights
which the public, even the married
public, is bound to respect. While
bachelors in general may feel that
their position requires no defense, and
may believe that the man who marries
is rather to be called to account and
made to show cause why he should not
be confined among the hopelessly IN
curables in the foolish factory, there
ought to be general recognition on the
part of unmarried men of the service
which Col. Watterson, even at a time
when the doctrines of anti-race suicide
are being preached from the White
House steps, has endeavored to render
to a class which has always been con-
sidered beneath sympathy.
