States Treasury, but upon the poor settlers on these irrigated lands in the shape of an added price for their farms and water rights. And now what has Secretary Bal finger unearthed in the Reclamation picion? We are reminded of the mountain which labored and brought forth a mouse, for up to date the only important public act of Secretary Ballinger is reversal of the policies of the previous Administration has been to stop the cooperative work of the ! settlers under the Reclamation pro- jects in the construction of Irrigation ditches. It need only be recalled here that the sole ground on which this beneficent cooperative work was stopped was the legal technicality that there was no specific authority in the statutes for carrying out work in that particular way. The cooperation was for the manifest benefit of the set tiers, and caused no loss or risk of any sort to the Government. The stoppage of this work on a technical point of law is all that Secretary Bal finger has to show in Justification of his attitude of hostile suspicion and the positive injuries to the Service
 which we have above set forth.
 Has his experience as q lawyer made him stickler for the letter of a. statute, regardless of its spirit Does he really believe in enforcing such narrow interpretation of the law as that which stopped the settlers from building irrigation ditches on Government projects? It is we'll known that there are men in the leg al profession, who are excellent law yers; but whose close adherence to precedent and detail units them to fill positions demanding large eXecu- tive ability, where prompt decision and wise generalship are essential.
 But were there other possible req sons for this marvellous sticking over the letter of the law? It is fact that the immediate effect of this change in policy by Secretary Ball. finger was to stop the work on a Reclamation project at Grand Junc- ton. Colo. The lands to be reclaimed at that place are enormously valuable when water is applied, some of the tracts selling for two or three thou sand dollars an acre. We are credi- bly, informed that after it was decid- ed to carry out Reclamation work at this point on the cooperative plan, a private irrigation company conclud- ed that it could make good profits if the Government would withdraw in its favor. The result of Secretary

knowledge whether MT. Newell was efficient or not. Some will interpret this as circumstantial evidence that MT. BaIHnger desired to get rid of MT. Newell and tried to bring about his resignation in this way rather than incur the unpOpular1ty thai would result from removing him from office.
 There is, however, another expiana- ton. MT. Ballinger appears to have taken office with the notion that the previous Administration had been all wrong; that it's conspicuous successes in the Reclamation Service had been made in disregard of the statutes and that it was his foremost duty to fer ret out past blunders and make such removals and changes in the person nel as would ensure better results in the future. This seems to be the most charitable explanation of his suspicious and hostile attitude from the outset toward those officers of the Service who had been considered most able and efficient under President Roosevelt and MT. Garfield.
 Perhaps MT. Ballinger assumed this attitude in good faith; but even so, it's results were most disastrous to the Service. The effect of such widely published interviews as that quoted above was to cause some of the most competent engineer in the Service to resign their places and accept posi- tions at better salaries with private companies.
 The engineers in the Service hav~ been content to work for smaller sal aries than those received by en- gineers employed by private com panies, because of the organization and the standards that have hitherto the permanence of the work and the confidence of support by their superiors. Does MT. Ballinger appreciate the value of such an esprit de corps to the Service? Has he done anything to perpetuate it?
 But the harm to the Service has not stopped here. Secretary Balling- CTS attitude of suspicion has caused months of delay in the letting of contracts anG the prosecution of work on some of the projects. He has re- fused to approve of work until he could satisfy himself that everything was all right. Whatever excuses there may be for such vigilance in a public official where vigilance is need ed and justified, it has been most un- fortunate in it's effect on the work The delays which he has caused have increased the cost of works by hun dreds of thousands of dollars. This added cost falls not upon the United

Ballinger's ruling fOrbidding further cooperative work was that the Gov ernment did withdraw, to the great disappointment of the settlers, who had sought to have the Government carry out the project.
 To counteract the setback to the Reclamation Work given by the stop page of cooperation with the set tiers, Secretary Ballinger is now re- commenting a bond issue of $50, ,000,- 000 to supplement- the Reclamation Fund. Before any such bond issue is made, however, it ought to be defin- itely established what the policy of tary Bal1inger is to be. If it is his policy to leave the profitable loca- tions to private companies and devote the Government funds to the places that private capital will not touch, then there is grave doubt whether such bonds, if secured only on the revenues from the completed works, would attract investors. And that doubt becomes still more serious in the absence of assurance that the high quality of engineering work that has prevailed in the past is to obtain in the future.
 Engineering News has no politics. We have undertaken to speak in this case because: it seemed to us our duty to defend the reputation of the profession as successful administra- tors, to defend the Reclamation Ser vice against any attempt to make it a political organization. More than all else, to defend the public interest.
 There is little doubt that the Secre- tary will attempt to justify his atti- tude toward the Service by allega- tions that mistakes have been made in the Reclamation Service work. But such charges ought to be care fully sifted before acceptance. The question is not whether errors have been made. No enterprise inolving the expenditure of ten thousand or a million dollars-much less fifty mill lion dollars-was ever carried out without more or less errors. The question is whether any other ad- in MT. NewelPs place would not have made greater errors. The question of even greater practi- cal importance is where an engineers could now Se found of such execu- tive ability, such familiarity with ir- rigation work and such knowledge of the complicated problems of the Re- clamation Service, that he could take MT. Newelps place and do anything like as we'll as MT. Newell himself is doing.
 That question. we submit. is of far

greater moment to the country than the securing of a head for the Ser vice who will "carry out Mir. Ballin- gers ideas" Without doubt Mr. Bal finger has the legal authority to im- pose upon the Service any ideas he may have and to change the person mel to conform to those ideas; but equally without doubt, MT. Ballinger holds his position as trustee, sworn to protect the public interest. He has no right to govern the Reclama- ton Service by whim, by personal prejudice, or by any other considera- ton or motive whatsoever than the public interest.

ALARMED BY DIVORCE EVIL.
Georgia Judge Will Ask Legislature
for More Stringent Laws.

ATLANTA, Ga, July S.-Greatly per-
turbed over the remarkable increase in
the number of undefended divorce cases
brought before him, Judge w. d. Ellis
has announced that he will go before the
judiciary committee Of the legislature
and make personal appeal for drastic
law which will check the divorce tend
ency.
Speaking in his court, he said OF d.
vorce:
ut is destroying the home, and when
you destroy the home you destroy the
city, the county, the state and the ma
ton. Something should be done about
1t. No divorce should be granted on
the uncorroborated statement of one
party. 1t has got so now a little quar-
rel between husband and wife results in
a row, the row in a divorce and the d.
vorce results in one or the other party
marrying again and getting a new VIC
tim.
1.-THE evil is growing. Every year sees
II increase. We talk about suppression
of vice in the slums. j can't imagine
anything worse than the divorce evil. We
expect vice in the Sums. but when vfr-
tuous young people marry we expect
them to make homes and raise children"
