Peculiar Question
Involving State Rights.

The supreme court has recently had
before it for decision a peculiar and
rather knotty case, involving the prin-
ciple of states rights, and it is evil
dent from the opinion rendered that
hs court deemed it prudent to side
step just little insead of pronounc-
ing It's dictum in a way so clear as
TO settle the controversy for good
The question at issue was between
the states of Kansas and Colorado
as TO the rights of the people of Colo
RADIO to divert the waters of the Ar
kansas river for irrigation purposes,
thereby affecting the navigability of
the river on its course through Kan
sas to the damage of commerce in the
latter state.
The court holds in effect, that Colo
RADIO has a right TO use the water
from the river in that state, but must
not take too much of it, as Kansas
has rights as well, and though the
court dismissed the suit brought by
Kansas against Colorado for damages.
the status seems TO have been left
precisely as it was before.

achievements and whose private lie
shed lustre on the name of his stare,
and whose memory makes it an honor
to be a Floridian.
In all the history of Florida, no
mans deeds stand forth more con-
sp5cUcusly than his, and the recol!ec-
tiops OF those whose great good for
tune il was TO know him in his pTi-
vate life stamp him beyond dispute as
a man of the highest personal virtues
and d citizen of the purest purposes
and most exalted ideals. That III ey
were the daily working standards of
his life is no more the splendid herit-
age of his own family than of the
state that he represented with siagu-
lar ability in the halls of the national
assemblage.
There, his statue should be, the gilt
of Florida to the nation, the proof
of Florida's appreciation of a life that
gave nothing but honor to the name
of his state, an emblem of the devO-
ton to principle and duty, both public
and personal, that constitutes the
highest development of citizenship.

The Mobile Register of yesterday
says:
Specifications for the widening and
deepening of the channel of Mobile
Bay have been approved by the war
department and within the next two
weeks the government will be ready
to advertise for bids for widening
the channel to the specified width of
one hundred feet and completing a
depth of twenty-three feet.
Major Henry Jervey, United States
engineer in charge, expects that work
will begin about August 1. Under
the act of the last congress, Major
Jervey said there is now available for
the work S20U,000. with S360,000 ad-
ditional authorized by congress. but
which will not be available until an
other congress so authorizes. The
present specifications. are drawn with
the view of an expenditure of $3.50,
600, and it will require practically all
this amount to secure the depth and
width called for in the specifications.
The act authorizing the additional
appropriation for Mobile channel also
authorizes the construction of
dredge at a cost of 100000, or as
much thereof as may be necessary
1t is left TO the discretion of the sec
retary of war as TO whether or not

it is not known what action he will
advise. Major Jervey did not init
mate what he would advise in the
matter.
When congress made the additional
appropriation for the channel, there
was an unexpended balance on hand
of about $90,000r but this amount has
been expended under contracts re-
moving shoals and other distractions
caused by the storm last September.
The amount was found insufficient to
complete this work, and at the lower
end of the channel the shoals yet pre-
vent vessels going over with full in

Major Jervey says that $4,000, or
so much LnereOf as is found necessary
is available for moving dead-heads,
distractions of logs, etc.
1t is expected that. should the work
begin on the channel by August 1,
the 100000 now available for the
work will last until congress meets
in December and passes legislation
necessary to make available the ad
ditiOnal Sl50,000 which the contract
will call for If all conditions are
favorable, it is believed that the
work can be completed within twelve
months after il is begun.

THE GOPHER
MUST HAVE
PROTECTION

1t is evident that the agitation look-
ing to the protection of the Florida
gopher is bearing fruit. On Thursday
last the senate committee on state af-
fairs, TO whom was referred the now
famous gopher bill submitted its re-
port in open session. This report,
contrary TO usual custom, was read in
full before being ordered printed in
the journal.
The report in full is as follows:
Your committee on state affairs,
having under consideration senate bill
No. 362, entitled an act to protect
gOphers, after due consideration find
that the gopher is not only among the
oldest inhabitants of our state, but
one of the oldest in the world Sacred
history informs us that NOah'S ark
was built of gopher wood. When our
state was first settled, hundreds of
years ago, GopherS were not only con-
sidered as one of the finest dishes of
food but they were used in Pensacola
and St Augustine as a medium of
change, We further find although
considering his great age and useful
ness this is the first movement that
has ever been made looking TO his
protection and we unanimously recon-
mend that the bill do pass.
The text of senate bill No 362. is
as follows:
A bill TO be entitled an act to pro-
tect gophers:
Be ii enacted by the legislature of
the state OF Florida
Section l. That It shall be unlaw-
ful to take or sell any gopher (scien-
ti1cally known as testudo polyphemus
or Florida tortoise) during the months
of May. June and July. or to take
them with hooks or other appliances
inserted into their holes. or to take
or sell them of d size less than

Representative Reese and
Immigration.

The journal is unable to understand
why Representative Reese should or
pose any bill whose object is 10 Sc
cure more people for the state Of Flor
ida Yet If reports are true that is ex-
actly what he is doing.
We are not familiar with the argn-
ments being used against what is
known as the knight immigration
Bill, nor have We studied the meas
ure itself carefully. but We take it
that the purposes Of the bill are TO
accomplish Just what every live state
IN the Enion IS trying 10 do, viz:
secure desirable settlers 10 develop
Jhe uncnldvated- acres throughout the
state. make those acres valuable. add
then 10 the tax values OF the state,
paI them where they viii help bear
the burden OF taxation which a sparse
" settled commonwealth now carries,
and make all of our people prosperous
and happy.
Florida has millions of acres of wild
lands which, with the proper effort TO
years be under cultivation and could
be made to help bear the burden of
the expense of our state and county
governments. Yet, as We understand
his attitude, Representative Reese is
opposed TO securing those immigrants.
Some two hundred thousand people
settled in the south last year, yet Flor
Ida, the largest of all of the southern
states east of the Mississippi river
and with the largest number of uncul-
tivated acres and the most productive
soil, did not, we dare say, get one per
cent of them. We simply cannot I'M
derstand Representative Reese's atti-
tude in the matter.
Florida needs -PEOPEE-needs
them worse than any other one
thing-but to get them We must go
after them, and every inhabitant of
the state, laboring man. professional
man, business man, or farmer, is in
terested in getting them here.

Another Interpretation.
Referring to the two foremost gu
bCrDatorial candidates, a Tallahassee
wag says that the To of Albert Jen-
nings' initials stands for 'Turpen-
tine" while the w. of Gilchirst's
name means "Waycross." The inter-
probation in the latter case at least is
an error. as the wv" stands for Win

read Turpentine Albert Jennings and
