Captain Hobson
Has EN- Again


TOLEDO. Ohio, July 23.-That the
unprotected Pacific coast is an invi-
tation to Japan to war upon this coun-
try, and that Japan is preparing for
that war were two startling state
ments made here last night by Captain
Richmond Pearson Hobson, hero OF
the Merrimac incident during the
Spanish war. before leaving for Mich
igan. where he will lecture at Chau-
tauqua on the subject OF Our Coun-
try's Destiny" Captain Hobson de-
clared that the policy vigorously pro
posed by w. n. Hearst to protect the
Pacific coast with strong fleet was
the only hope of thwarting war with
Japan

REGARDING THE FLORIDA
MESA IRRIGATION DISTRICT

When the agitation started for the
formation of the Florida Mesa Irriga.
ton district The Herald said il was q
matter for the land owners and farm.
ers. The same holds true In connec.
ton with the ratification or rejection
| OF the contract for the building of
bitches and reservoir by the Pioneer
Construction company. 1t is one in
which the farmer is vitality interested.
Every phase should be given consider
alton. So far as the editor of The
Herald is concerned, hiwever, it looks
as though the opportunity to secure
water should be accepted at this time
Sould the contract be rejected it un-
doubtedly means several years before
another proposition will be made, and
this in turn means failure of crops
and ruin of many men who have taken
up land with the expectation of water
being provided The past few months
has demonstrated that we can never
figure on what kind of season we
are going to have. Rains may be few
and far between several years hand
running 1t is bad enough to have
crops fail one year, but two or three
years following each other would mean
absolute ruination. Again, water
rights will increase In value every
year and there is no possible likeli
hood of securing cheaper water in the
future, but rather it will cost more
money. We expect to note the carry
ing of the proposition by large ma.
jority.
