Shifting Of the channel of the
Rio Grande at Ell Paso, Texas,
has made it necessary for the
United States and Mexico to de-
eide whether the new land on the
United States side was created
by erosion from the Mexican
bank or by accretion from the
sands of the river. Ii it was Gre
ated by accretion, then it belongs
to the United States; but if by
erosion, then it belongs TO Mexi-
co. AS it is worth about five
million dollars, the arbitrator
will have a proper appreciation
Of the Importance of their investi-
cation into the mysterious pro-
cesses by which rivers change
their channels. There is a body
of law on the subject which would
surprise those unfamiliar with
rivers.

A writer in The Public points
out that the greatest benefit OF
the initiative and referendum
system of legislation lies in the
fact of it's educative force in the
affairs of government. When the
people must vote directly upon a
proposition they will study it,
and with the study Of one propo-
sition comes a larger knowledge
of free institutions. The record
in the state of Oregon shows that
the electorate cast their ballots
with full knowledge of what they
were voting for or against. And
this is a great advance over the
