A VEXED WATER PROBLEM

The public may have noticed few days ago a brief correspondence be- tween the president and Mr. E. II. liar riman, in which Mir, Hartman, at the president s request, politely promised to have the Southern Pacific officials turn back the Colorado river, which is now overflowing the Imperial valley, with the understanding, or hope, that the president should see that legislation was enacted to '"equalize the burden" The president $ reply was made public, in which he assured Mir. Hartman that he would do his best to secure appropriate legislation. Thereupon the governor of California joyously wired his congratu lations to the president, telling him that he had saved from disaster the homes of hundreds of people and great tract of fertile land. The president requested the director of the geological survey to formulate a plan, to be submitted to congress, whereby the government could take charge of the work When con. gress reconvenes the president will send in message calling attention to the situation.

The principal op- position to the incorporation of Glot: ;--,,:::a:.es from the very class which a city government would control and thereby make Globe more attractive to decent people. We note that the dive saloon keepers are among the opponents of a city government this is not cause for surprise, but it is surprising that rep utable business men should be found al- lied with this class in trying to prevent the incorporation of the city. We would advise the people of Globe to get busy with the legislature which will convene at Phoenix this month and help along the anti gambling bill; if there were not SO many gamblers in Globe there would not be so much opposition to city government.-Bisbee Review.

The interstate commerce commission says the railroad companies are not careful enough and President Ripley of the Santa Fe says that employees are not loyal enough. As rule railroad men are the most loyal people in the world, as their lives often depend on taking utmost interest in the company which employs them. If man is not loyal to his employer, it is generally the fault of the employer.

cerned have undcrcstimated the diff culty of obtaining legislation from con gress. The situation is extremely com plicated, The break in the Colorado river is in Mexican territory. The water is conducted to American territory and sold bv the California Development companv. which owns the distributing system. This company has not asked the government for assistance, and MT. Hartman assured the president that the Southern Pacific had nothing to do with the development company, Nothing can be done by the president to relieve the menaced settlers until congress has en- acted proper legislation and made an appropriation for the work to be done in foreign territory. Will congress make grant of money for tho repair of water system owned by private par tiesl Why should it'
 The pretense that the Southern Pa cifie does not control the California De opment company is a pure evasion, as everybody in California knows. If the government should repair the water sys' tenn, it would, in fact, be raking the railroad company s chestnuts out of the fire. After the work had been done, the development company could, with pro priety, tell the government to withdraw and permit it to continue the sale of water to settlers at stiff prices. It could plead that 1t had not asked for assist ance, and that all work done by tho government had be engratuitous,
 This government has been assured orally, through the American ambassa dor to Mexico, that the Mexican gov ernment will cheerfully permit the Unit cd States to do whatever work is neees sary to control the river. But large | body of land lies in Mexico between tn, river and the lands occupied by settler on the American side. The owners ol the Mexican land are entitled to th'
 first supply of water from the river, an' if they should ask for what they arr entitled to, there would be little, i any, water left for the Americans. l this government should assume the tasl of supplying the American settlers, tn Mexican land owners would be morall. certain to present their claim for prio

 this is impraetieable. Mexico does nc

 While the president is trying to ol tain legislation, the Southern Ppeif company is engaged in repairing th break in the river. It is a questio whether, in view of the correspondence the company will not in due time have robust bill of expenses against the Uni ed States-Washingt Post.
