That section of the reclamation act
providing for expenditures in various
states from which moneys were de-
rived from the sale OF public lands,
was repealed by act of June %, 1910,
and he says investigations have prov
en- that no practicable irrigation in
vestments in Oklahoma could be
made. "The number of persons to be
benefited by irrigation is small
writes the secretary, "and the lands
which would be affected are confined
to a narrow strip. Most of the re-
quests for irrigation come from town
people and not land owners.
Before any irrigation project is
feasible, land owners along the
streams must agree to mortgage their
lands to the extent of $40 to $50 an
acre and further agree to pay 81
acre yearly for operation and main
tenance of irrigation system. In ad-
dtion owners would have to dispose
of all lands in excess of 100 acres
and live on the land.
Reclamation inves 'ments in north
western Oklahoma are questionable
and there is little possibility of the
persons being able to pay back the
money that would have to be ex-
pended in their behalf.
The reclamation fund derived from
the sale of public lands is to be re-
covered to the federal treasury in
time and the fund is in reality but
an investment. Formerly irrigated
areas in Oklahoma have been aband-
oned."
Representative Morgan declares
that he will again take the matter up
with the interior department as he
thought Secretary Ballinger in his let
ter confined himself too largely to
generalties.

THE MARTlANS, HOWEVER, ARE
NEARER EXTINCTION THAN WE
ARE-DRYlNG UP., ,.n
LIFE ONLY ON EARTH AND MARS
Life Has Disappeared From Mercury
and Venus, but Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus and Neptune Are Too Hot
for Life, Dr.. Lowell Says.

New York, Feb 5.-"Mercury and
Venus already are dead and dried up
worlds; Mars is rapidly approaching
state of wrinkled old age, and the
earth is next in the procession, head
ed towards the extinction of all life, "
according to DR.. Percival Lowell, head
OF Lowell Observatory. who is in New
York for a series of lectures before
scientific bodies.
Mars is certainly inhabited by
some character of organized life,"
Doctor Lowell said in his opening lee
ture, "and the Martians have far
greater reason to deny that there Is
life on the earth than we have that
they do not exist.
But there is no life on any other
planets except the earth and Mars, all
other members of the solar system
being either already dried up. so that
life animal or vegetable cannot exist,
or else, like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus
and Neptune, much too young in
world evolution, and therefore much
too hot from interior sources to admit
of life of any kind.
ION Mars, the clearing of the at
mosphere, which has been going on
since the Paleozoic Era, has reached
perfection. Man indeed must be the
source of constant annoyance to an
orderly Creator, for he is constantly
interfering with the natural course of
events With city chimneys always
belching forth smoke and making it
rain, man is responsible for more
than half the bad weather of which
he complains. On Mars, the sky is
perpetually clear from morning till
night and from spring to fall
While the water on the earth is
slowly but surely disappearing,
through sublimation into the heav-
ems, and sinking into the earth, on
Mars the seas have already disappear
ed, though there appears to have been
seas there ages ago"

BAD BLOOD
OFTEN Inherited

Bad blood does not always come as
the result of careless living, or indis-
cretions; it is condition frequently
inherited. Normal, healthy blood
contains millions of tiny red corpus
cles, which are the vitalizing and
nourishing element of the circulation,
their office being to provide every
portion of the system with its neces-
sary strength and nutriment. In
weak, impure blood these corpuscles
are lacking in numbers, and therefore
the blood is not able to supply the
proper amount of nourishment to the
body. Bad blood manifests itself in
many ways, With some it takes the
form of skin diseases and eruptions,
others become bilious and malarious,
with sallow compilations, torpid liver,
etc. Bad blood produces Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Scrofula
and like troubles. Nothing is equal
to S. S. S. as remedy for bad blood;
it is the greatest of all blood purifiers,

RUSSIA TO BE NOTIFIED
OF TREATY ABROGATION

Continued from Page One.
The Washington herald., 1911-12-17
PRESIDENTS POWER
Is NOT DEFINED
Senate Action Will Prevent
Question from Arising.

As the Senate Will undoubtedly, to-mor-
row acquiesce in the action of President
Taft in serving notice upon Russia that
the United States desires to abrogate the
treaty of 1852, it is not likely that any
dispute will arise at this time as to the
authority of the President to take this
action. Under other circumstances, how
ever, it is not at all improbable that
serious questions might arise.
The treaty of 1882 with Russia is made
in the name of The United States of
America on the one hand and his
majesty, the Emperor of all the Russias,
upon the other. Article XII prescribes
that the treaty shall remain in effect
until the first day of January, 1899, but if
no notice has been given by ''one of the
high contracting parties" one year before
that day, 1t ssall "semain obligatory one
year beyond that day, and so on until
the expiration of the year, which shall
commence after the date OF a similar
notification" In a previous treaty with
Russia, dated 1924, the high contracting
party was specifically stated to be the
President of the>United States, but 1t
will be noticed that in the treaty Of 1882
he contracting party is the United
States of Ameriia."
There is no record in the diplomatic
history of the abrogation of treaty by
Presidential action. In a decision rem
dered by Mr.. Justice Iredell, Of the
United States Supreme Court, in the
case of Ware VS.. Hylton, he said: IF
Congress, therefore (who. I conceive,
alone have such authority under our
government. shall make such a decla-
ration, shall deem it my duty to re-
gard the treaty as void" In the La
Abra Mining Company case, the Supmere
Court said: 1T has ben adjudged that
Congress, by legislation, and so far as
the people and the authorities "f the
United States are concerned, could abro-
gate a treaty made between this Coun-
try and another country"
These expressions of the Supreme
Court indicate a feeling that the power
to terminate a treaty rests with Con-
gress. or. at least, with the Senate,
which is a part of the treaty-makins
power. AS the Senate will, however,
join with the House in directing the
President to abrogate the treaty. II is
not al all probable that the decision of
the President will be made a subject Of
comment in either House.

Hopes for Senate.
What will the Senate do with the res
olution Monday" countered Mr.. Sulzer,
in answer to an inquiry. Well, l hope
the Senators will respond to the over
whelming popular sentiment of the Amer
ican people in favor of the resolution,
and pass it without amendment with the
same unanimity that it passed the House.
This is the only thing that can now be
done. and it will be official notice to
official Russia that the people of the
United States are in earnest, and are
sincere. Russia has always doubted this.
The enactment into law of the resolution
will have a good effect, and in my opinion
bring about the conclusion of a new
treaty that will be harmony with the
spirit of the times. Our relations with
Russia will, of course, continue friendly
and harmonious, and a new treaty up to
date will soon be written. Russia cannot
afford to sulk and be isolated.
Mr.. Sulzer further cited the resolution
adopted by Congress when the treaty
with France was abrogated in f9S. That
resolution charged France with violating
mittee on Foreign Relations declared,
however, that there was no ground of
comparison between the Russian treaty
and that with France. In the present
instance the treaty is to be terminated
under authority contained in the treaty
itself, while in the case of the French
treaty it was abrogated. Furthermore,
Russia and the United States are on
friendly terms, whereas France and the
