the question there is will Governor

they can 1t looks as though they would
be able to give Governor Hughes a

The water conditions in some parts
Of Vermont are getting serious. In
Franklin and Orleans counties there
has been little rain since early in
June and streams and wells have gone
dry. 1t is said that all over Vermont
the roads are dryer and dustier thar
ever before The drouth in Benning
ton county is not as severe as in other
parts of the state owing to the show
ers here but fall feed is very short
and the milk and butter products are
falling off daily. Some of the milk
men are obliged to cut their cusonl-
ers short in their milk supply.

Capt. Winslow, assistant chief of the Bureau of Navigation, testified before the Senate Naval Committee that the armor belt on every ship in Admiral Evans fleet is misplaced, and that open turrets and ammunition hoists are dangerous. Commander Key, formerly naval aide to President Roosevelt, gave simi- lar testimony and added that builders of ships have bambooz- led the country with fictitious speed tests. It is no answer to such evidence to howl that any man who criticizes our glorious navy is a fool or a william.

FIGURES PROVE TOO MUCH.

The Imperial paper, which wants to see the Holton power plant put out of business, says the courts of the land are not going to permit the power com pany to "wantonly flood the land in the bottom of Salton Sink" It also says: "The extent of the ability of the sink to take up drainage is great. This is shown by the fact that when the flow into the sink amounted to 5000 second feet, or 450,000 miners inches, the level of the sea did not raise" The power plant uses 5000 inches of water, only a little more than half of one per cent of the quantity which did not raise the level of Salton Sea. The water in the power canal would cover the area of Salton Sea one inch deep in a year if none of it evaporated. That is "wanton flooding of the land" like throwing a bucket of water over a ten-acre tot.
 If the Imperial papers figures and assertions are correct, evap- oration takes care of more water than runs in all the canals of Imperial Valley, and the vast age has no perceptible effect up- on the level of Salton Sea. Fig ures are dangerous things for some people to fool with.

One of the diplomatic corps, interviewed by a Washington correspondents, explains that no nation wants war with the United States while Roosevelt is President, because "he would ac- tually take command, and he is a military leader of extraordinary ability" That diplomat is trying to make himself solid with the Colonel. But, with the highest respect for the Presidents yer satile genius, where and when has he demonstrated eXtraordi- nary ability as a commander of armies? He is belligerent and he loves a scrap, but doesn't he like fighting 'on his own" too we'll to be a great military leader?

There is much unofficial talk about an automobile road be- tween San Diego and Imperial Valley, and every day or two some one is quoted in the San Diego papers to the effect that the Imperial county supervisors are about to act, or in the valley papers that San Diego is about to do something, but nothing tangible has been placed before the supervisors of either county A good road is very desirable, but switch-back interviews and hot air won't build it.

It is said by the Los Angeles Times that the Liverpool Salt Company is ready to compromise on the purchase of it's property in Salton Sea by the c. D. Co.,, and withdraw it's objection to the flow of waste water into the sink. In other words, the Salt Company is holding the injunc- tion as club over the valley to compel the c. D. Go. to come to terms.

STATEN ISLAND
RAPID TRANSIT
RAISES FARES
Return Trip to New York Will
Cost 65 Cents After
February |.
THE COMMUTERS ARE HIT ALSO

Notices have been posted in the
Staten Island Rapid Transit ferry
houses in this city and Tottenville
that, commencing with the first Of
next month, an increase in the fares
between this city, Staten Island
points and New York will take effect.
The regular return fare between
this city, Tottenville, Richmond VAL
ley, Pleasant Plains and New York
has for years been sixty cents. This
will be raised to sixty-five cents, an
increase of nickel. The single fare
between these places and New York
York will remain a, forty cents.
1t has been decided to raise the
price of the monthly Communication
books between these points and New
York from 1915 to 81, and school
books from 81 per month to s4.25.
The company has also agreed that no
more special fare books, which up
until this month were sold to those
people earning less than 81 per
week, at the rate of IS per month,
shall be issued.
The local agent of the Rapid Tran
sit, B. NJ. Cannon, was questioned
about the change in rates. When ask
ed why the increase had been decided
on and If the railroad company in
tended to give better service, he
could not say.
1t ds thought that the increase in
rates is caused in part by the recent
action Of the Public Service Commits
sion, which has ordered that the
Staten Island Rapid Transit make
numerous improvements.
