there was no attempt made by any

Persons who cannot understand the
opposition which has sprung UP to the
plan OF fortifying the Panama canal
cannot blind themselves to the fact
that such opposition has grown might
lily since the question became an active
issue.
President Taft has begun a cam
paign to insure the fertilization of the
canal. The following paragraph from
a speech he delivered in New York Sat
urday night admirably summarizes the
arguments for fortlncation:
THE right OF the United States to
fortify the canal and to close 1t against
the use of an enemy IN time of war
being established, what should be its
policy? We build the canal to help us
defend the country, not TO help an
enemy to attack 1t. Even If a certain
and practical naturalization of the
canal by agreement of all nations
could be assured to us when engaged
In war, an neny could then use the
canal for transit to attack us In both
oceans as we propose TO use It to de-
fend ourselves.
AFTER expanding $500, 900, 900 thus to
make our national defense easier, are
we to surrender half the military value
of the canal by giving the benefit of It
to a nation seeking to destroy u.s."

Aviators are apparently counting
those days lost whose "slow descending
sun" sees from their hands no further
demonstration of the ~practicability Of
the aeroplane in peace and in war.
An American aviator proposes to
seize the first opportunity when
weather conditions are right during
the present week for a fight from Key
West to Havana. Longer flights have
been negotiated but tho conditions sur
rounding this one are new and. II 1t Is
made, 1t will set aeronautics a notch
forward.
Imagine the manifold uses to which
the %aeroplane might ave been put by
Uncle Sam during the Spanish-Ameri-
can war had he been playing the war
game in that neighborhood with a first
rate power.
No later and most modern devices
were needed, of course, in the case of
poor old Spain. Indeed the aeroplane
night lave made the problem down
there so simple that the world would
have been forced to worry along with
out a fine, large crop of heroes.

RECLAIM 100000 ACRES.
Supreme Court Holds 1869 Drain
age Law Valid.

Jackson, Tenn, May 20.-The re-
clamation Of nearly 100000 acres Of
swamp lands in West Tennessee was as
sured by Supreme Court decision to-
day holding the drainage law Of 1909
to be constitutional and valid and the
way was opened for the reclamation Of
millions OF acres throughout the state.
Drainage and reclamation projects IN
Gibson, Obion and Weakley counties,
involving in all about 100000 acres,
hinged on the decision. The land lies
in the bottoms OF the Forked Deer and
Obion rivers. The magnitude Of the
projects and the vast area OF fertile soil
to be opened for cultivation have at
tracted the attention OF all Of the north
crn section Of this division of the State
and the outcome Of the case to-day,
which was vital to the great undertake
ings, was awaited with widespread in
terest.
The holding of the court was an
nounced in the case of the State Of Ten
nesssee VS.. w. w. Powers, County
Judge of Gibson County, in elaborate
and exhaustive opinion delivered by
Justice Grafton Green. The drainage
law, chapter 1s5 of the acts OF 1909, us

az Ievee and drainage districts, for the
purpose OF the draining and reclamation
OF wet and swamp lands and lands sub
iect to overflow in this State prescribing
the methods. etc. f"
The constitutionality Of the law was
assured upon eight separate grounds,
each being considered and overruled in
Justice Green S opinion. The case arose
from the refusal of w. w. Powers,
County Judge of Gibson County, to issue
warrants for the payment of the expenses
of preliminary survey OF a drainage
district created in the northern part o.
Gibson County by the Quarterly Court,
The court set aside 20, 500 for this pur-
pose and directed the County Judge tc
issue warrants for this amount when
called for. Jude Powers refused to com
ply, declaring that the drainage law hac

stituted in the Chancery Courtto compel

luton. Judge Powers fled demurrer
attacking the constitutionality Of the act
under which the County Court proceed

cellor, and he then appealed to the Su

rather than destroy it. =

The principal objection to the actwas
that the assessments provided for in
section 2 are tax and are not made
according to value, as the constitution
provides.
This objection, stated the opinion,
at a former period OF judicial history
Of this State would have been fatal. Acts
similar to the one in question here, pro-
viding for like assessments, have by this
court in earlier times been held to be IN
contravention Of the constitution.
OVERDUE FORMER CASES.
The court, however, has in recent
holding overruled the former cases and
held that such assessments are not taxes
within the meaning Of the constitution. "

Snohomish has a good payroll and

The motto of all her business men has
been 'Snohomsh first, the rest of the

fine spirit of civic pride. She out
