WOULD NOT AFFECT RIGHTS

Word came ftom Washington yesterday that Congressman Smith had had a personal inter- view with President Roosevelt and had discussed the bills now before Congress regarding the lower Colorado river territory, and the President had assured MT. Smith that should the Flint bill pass the rights of the set tiers of the Imperial Valley should in no way be interfered with.
 This has practically stopped all opposition to Senator Flint's bill and no doubt it will pass the House right away. At no time has it really been apparent that anyone's rights would be molest- ed as can be seen by reading the following letter from Director Wolcott to the president, dated January 10, 1907:
 Washington, D. C., January 10, 1907. Sir: In accordance with your oral request, l have the honor to submit the followin g statement in respect to the Colo rado River-Salton Sea situation in Southern California.
 It may be assumed that one ot three courses can be followed:
 First. Let the entire matter alone for the individuals and cor porations to handle as best they may.
 Second. Request an appropri- ation of S2,OOO, ,OOO from congress and the privilege from Mexico to expend this money largely in Mexican territory in constructing and maintaining permanent works of protection along the west bank of the Colorado river.
 Third. Have the government take entire charge of the situa- ton, develop its own lands and protect the people in the Impel ial valley and in the vicinity of Yu- ma and in the valleys along Col orado river.
 The third course is preferable, because it will bring about ulti- mately a full development of the public lands and of the resources of the country, and will add to its permanent population and prosperity. This course will in- volve the obtaining of appropria- tions of funds from time to time, which will ultimately be repaid. It will also be necessary to obtain from Mexico the right to carry a canal through Mexican territory and build protective works on the Mexican side of the boundary. It may also be necessary to make some concessions of water requir- ed for Mexican lands. We have heretofore estimated that, in the event the United States govern ment constructs the works, water to the extent of 100000 acre-feet per annum could be furnished foi

is done, provision ought to be made for the repayment of the proper portion of the expenditure necessary to furnish the water oil the same basis as for lands in the United States.
 In this connection it may be stated that full control and stor- age of the flood waters of Colo rado river will result in obtaining an adequate supply of water, not only for lands within the United States, but also for those ill the Republic of Mexico, which can be reached by gravity canals
 from Colorado river. The aver age annual flow of Colorado river is approximately 11,OO0,0OO acre feet, and the entire demand for irrigable land which can be reached by gravity along the course of the river in the United States will probably not be more than S,OOO,OOO acre-feet. To make this available, however, storage must be provided at the headwaters. There will thus be ample water to supply at least 15O,OOO acres additional in MeXi- co. Unless Congress is prepared to enter upon a policy of protect ing the lands and property of the United States and ultimately de- veloping a comprehensive system of reclamation, it does not seem to be wise to go into the subject further at present.
 In the event of congress decld- ing not to do anything it will be necessary to defer indefinitely the work on the Yuma project and the construction of the Laguna dam, on which upward of S1, ,OOO,- 900 have already been spent. 1t will not be wise to make further expenditures which will be jeop- ardized through failure to retain the river in it's proper channel. If the river is put back ln its channel by private enterprise, it will presumably be done i'll such
 way that the relief will be of a temporary character and the ir- regularly occurring floods will in a short time make another breach in the banks at the existing points of weakness.
 If the work of restoring the river to its proper channel should undertaken by private parties in Mexico, there should be obtained from Mexico some assurance that the break will be patrolled and guarded at all times and that the individuals or corporations own- ing the lands and the works will be bonded in some effective way to maintain such protective works and also be required to show that they have the ability, financial and other wise, to repair any break which may occur before 1t reaches dangerous proportions.
 It is desirable to- consider the advisability of asking Mexico to five assurance that no future ar- tificial cutting of the west bank of the Colorado river will be al- lowed for any purpose whatever at any point where the interests of the United States may be jeOp- ardized. It is believed that any rt1ttino in this hank of soft mud

His Criticism of Gen. Wade Hamp-

His Criticism of Gen. Wade Hamp-
ton Years Ago Recalled.
From the Richmond NswsLeader
1t is a curious and generally forgotten
fact in history that Gen. Wade Hampton
was criticised by Benjamin r. TiIman as
savagely as President Roosevelt now is
by Senator Benjamin r. TiHman, and
on the same issue. Gen Hampton always
believed that he was elected governor IN
the revolution OF 1876 by negro votes, aud
followed consistently the policy Of re-
warding negro Democrats as far as pos
sible. In this a majority Of the conserva-
tive white people OF the State Of South
Carolina were with him For several
years negroes known to have been sup
porters of Gen. Hampton were given
places on the legislative tickets IN the
counties Of the black belt, and some OF
them county Offices. Gen. Hampton al
ways appointed some negro trial justices
Offices corresponding TO the magistrates
In Nirginia-in the counties where the
negro pOpulatiou-was large.
The Gary element opposed this bitterly
We reCOlleCI a series OF articles printed
In the Edgefeld County newspapers
signed. we believe, 'SaXe-GOtha," gener-
ally attributed at the time to Benjamin
r. Tillman. in which Gen. Hampton was
arraigned with sarcasm as bitter as that
now directed by Senator Tnlman against
President Roosevelt The vfrulencs
against everybody who declines to share
those feelings is no new thing. II was
manifested twenty-eight years ago as
luridly as II is now.

AttaIns AmbassadOriaI Rank.
From the New York Sun.
Secretary Bayard foretold that our re-
ception Of Ambassadors would be followed
by silly disputes about precedence. The
prediction was quickly fulfilled. Scarcely
had the first Ambassadors arrived in
Washington when the question arose
whether the Vice President Of the United
States, who corresponds to the heir ap-
parent in European monarchy, and the
Secretary of State, who stands second in
succession to the Presidency, should give
place at entertainments and public func-
tons TO the new dignitaries. The Ques-
ton was settled in favor OF the Vice Presi-
dent. but the Secretary OF State yielded
precedence to the Ambassadors, although
in monarchical countries Ambassadors
give place, not only to their heir apparent,
but TO the second in succession or heir
presumptive. and. indeed to all persons
in the line OF succession.
Il might be well for Congress to take
up the subject anew, and provide that
Ambassadors should be sent only to for
eign capitals at which we formerly main
tained Ministers Of the first rank 10 whom
was allotted the highest pay. Otherwise,
the President in the exercise Of his dis
erection may be driven to receiving Am
bassadors from countries more and more
insignificant until once more the repre-
sentative Of Haiti becomes the dean Of
the diplomatic corps. That would reduce
to an absurdity the chatter about prece-
daurp
