SWEARING OVER THE PHONE

The proprieties, not to say the ethics of the use of the telephone are involved in a decision by the Iowa supreme court. The ease involved the right of telephone company to discipline subscribers for violating the rule against utter ing profanity into the transmitter. A swearing subscriber was deprived of the service. He promised to reform, but the company refused to restore the telephone. The court decided that the company must comply with his de- mand. This is on the ground that the telephone may be necessity, and that the company has no legal right of censorship over communica- tions. Thus a passenger may be ejected from a street car for disorderIy conduct but he can not be permanently prohibited from riding
 The Iowa decision does not mean, 1t may he hoped any laxity in the prevalent courtesies of the telephone If there is no adequate legal remedy for their abuse there is the more need for persistence in patience and good manners between persons separated by distance, hut audibly present. It is worth repetition, also, that these qualities need continuous cultivation among telephone employees.

WHO PAYS THE FREIGHT

The New York Journal of Commerce is one of the strongest and most persistent advocates of sub-subsidy measure, and it uses the recent row in the chamber of deputies of the Italian parliament as a weapon in its new argument It congratulates the world at large that the question of ship subsidies is at least a live enough question for men to get heated in debate over it. And yet Signor Colajann declared in the debate that the ministers responsible for the present Italian ship-subsidy law ought to be prosecuted, whereat another deputy, minis ter of posts and teegraphs rushed over and punched him. The excitement that followed has served to bring up the question as to what the subsidy scheme has done for Italian commerce and her merchant marine
 It is pointed out that in 1894 the merchant marine of Italy was only about 750,000 tons, but in the next decade it had grown to l,259,0O0 tons, and since then has increased to nearly r. 6O0000 tons. of the incease there can be no doubt and the Journal of Commerce points out that under ship-subsidy plans, which it desig- mates as the same liberal policy" Spain, Aus tlia, Portugal, and Japan are all meeting with equally satisfactory results It is, perhaps, hardly necessary to point out that at least part of this increase might be due to normal, healthy growth, and that subsidies had little to do with it. But, after alluding to this growth, the Jour nal of Commerce points out:
 The United States alone of all the mari
 time powers leaves its merchants, manu-
 lecturers, and farmers at the edge of the
 ocean to get their wares over the seas as
 best they may-by some accident of trade
 or by the grace of their foreign rivals.
 This is novel argument for ship subsidies. We have not heard we believe, of any great quantity of American manufactures or food stutfs left to rot on our shores because there are no ships to carry them abroad to market Instead, if we remember rightly, it'was only a month or two ago that New York harbor was packed with steamers rusting at their anchors because of lack of freight.
 The friends of ship subsidies seem to think it a humiliation that our cargoes should be hauled to market as cheapy as possible. We ought to pay more to have them carried in subsidized ships We think that by this time the American public has learned, at rather heavy cost, who ii is that pays the freight, and some more subtle and ingenious argument than those quoted above must be used before the United States consents to change its policy.

LIVING CONSTITUTION ALREADY
 CHANGED

In urging upon President Taft the recom- to congress of second constitu- tional amendment providing for the popular election of United States senators, Mr. Bryan has evidently overlooked the presidents dec laration, within week, of his abiding faith in the constitution as it is'' to furnish us the in strument of continuing the growth of the United States in the right direction toward our highest deals.' Moreover, Mr. Bryan rather stretches the meaning of the paragraph in Mir. Taft speech of acceptance relating to popular election of senators. That paragraph reads as follows:
 With respect to the election of senators
 by the people, personally am inclined to
 favor it, but 1t is hardly party question.
 resolution in it's favor has passed a re-
 publican house of representatives several
 times and has been rejected in republican
 senate by votes of senators of both parties
 It has been approved by the legislatures of
 many republican states. In number of
 states, both democratic and republican,
 substantially such system now prevails
 We doubt whether Mir. Taft intended this paragraph to be construed, as Mr. Bryan con- strues it, to mean that he is personally inclined to favor a constitutional amendment altering the present formal and legal method of choosing United States senators. If Mr. Taft meant that, he was ineXpert in the selection of Ian guage, for his words apply with more exact- tude to those modes of popular choice now in vogue in nearly two-thirds of the states than to a constitutional change eliminating altogether legislative election of senators. Popular cleo tion of senators was never one of the Roosevelt policies, and AIr. Taft hardly intended to go father than his predecessor in that direction As his Lake Champan speech clearly indicates, Mr. Taft is not going to stand as a proponent of radical change in the structure of the con stituton
 With or without constitutional amendment, however, popular election of senator's by one or another mode of indicating to the legislature the popular choice virtually binding that body to follow the instruction of the electorate, is steadily making headway in the American polit- ical system. In twenty states the election of senators is now controlled by the direct voice of the people. These states are:

WATER

A finer irrigation system does not
exist in the country today than they
have installed on these lands. Steel
cased artesian wells, 10 inches in di
ameter and 1175 feet deep, flowing IA
inches crown above the casing, fur
nish an abundance of the purest noun
tain spring water. No need of expen-
sive dams or humes-no cost for main
tenance Of pumping plants. Experts
claim that with all the lands in this
basin under irrigation the annual sur
plus of water from the underground
basin will be still 800 times more than
will ever be used.
From the wells the water is turned
into the main ditch 80 feet wide and
easily carrying flow of 5000 miners
inches. From this main ditch laterals
feed every subdivision with river of
water. Flowing wells with plenty of
the best and purest water for domestic
purposes can be had at a depth of
about 100 feet. Surface wells at IL feet.

LOCATION

The holdings of the Iowa Land and
Water company comprise a solid body
of nearly 5000 acres of choice delta
lands in Tulare county, California.
Years ago these lands were the bed Of
old Tulare lake-but the waters have
receded and in receding have built up
an embankment II miles wide, which
renders overflow a physical impossible
fty, as they are % feet above the high
water mark of 1884. This delta COM
prises over $4,000 acres midway be-
tween Los Angeles and San Francisco,
the two best markets on the coast,
with the Santa Fe railroad the whole
length of the tract-they have advan-
tage of location surpassed by no other
agricultural section in the state.

CLIMATE

The climate is ideal. This is indeed
a land of sunshine, where the rancher
can enjoy blue skies and warm sun
shine 800 days in the year. The rainy
season begins about November L and
the rains are practically over by the
middle of April. From to inches Of
rain falls. Even in midwinter tenn
perature as low as 80 degrees is prac-
tically unheard Of. The summers are
ideal. Although the thermometer
reaches 95 degrees sometimes at mid
day the absolute absence of humidity
in the air makes the day far more
bearable than a temperature of 80 de-
grees in the eastern states. There is
always a cool breeze and the nights
are always cool the year round.

SUGAR BETS

1t has been fully demonstrated that
these lands grow as large crops Of
beets carrying the highest percentage
of sugar as any locality in the world.
From 10 to 20 tons per acre is the av-
erage crop. The cost Of growing and
harvesting varies from $40 to $50 per
acre. Even at the low price of $5 per
ton a net profit of from $25 to $65 per
acre can be realized.
The $1,000, 900 beet sugar factory re-
Gently completed at Corcoran, IL miles
north, furnishes ready market at
best prices. This factory has a daily
capacity of 600 tons and can handle
the full crop from 10000 acres. The
freight rate on beets from our lands
to the factory is about $6 per car. A
switch for loading on the lands.

whose resignation was demanded this
morning. This action on the part oil
President Gomez has caused astonish-
ment and it is remored that it caused
angry words between him and Vice
President Zayas. who objects to Ar
nauto.
The latter has an enviable record.
When Gen. William Ludlow was mill
tary governor of Havana, Arnauto
wrote a scurrilous article about Cen
eraI Ludlow which was Of such Sc
robustness that General Ludlow ordered
the police to shoot Arnauto on sight.
Arnauto escaped, but was subsequent
Iy captured and taken before General
Ludlow, who exacted from him writ
ten promise that he would never pub
lish a newspaper again.
Despite this promise Arnauto issued
a newspaper during President Palma's
administration. This was suppressed,
but Arnauto again started paper
when the provisional government came
in. He was not interferred with and
he published the same paper under
four different names.
