favor Of revision to pass the bills in
that body. The matter will then be
up to the president, and his veto, the
democratic leaders believe, would

Chicago, Ill.,, April 1.-The Record
Herald Sunday morning will print the
following from staff correspondent:
Washington, April 1.-Over the re
organization of affairs in congress
with the democrats coming into con-
troll OF the house and hoping to cap
ture the whole government next year
there hangs the shadow of William
Jennings Bryan. 1t is predicted that
Mr.. Bryan will be a dominant figure
in the national campaign which the
coming session Of congress is to in
augurate, and as likely as not he may
be a positive candidate for fourth
presidential nomination when the
democratic national convention is
held more than year hence.
The statement made above is no
idle dream. 1t is based on the be-
lief Of some Of the most astute poll
ticians of the day, who are looking
ahead some fifteen months, and who
have been listening to and drawing
deductions from the reports on the
situation that exists in the democratic
camp in many sections of the coun-
try. These politicians think the
three-time leader of the democrats
in presidential election campaigns de.
liberately is planning to make an
other try.
Refuses to Commit Himself.
To start with, that Bryan birthday
dinner to which the three-time leader
of the democrats has devoted one
whole issue Of his Commoner, and the
lecture invasion of eastern states,
characterized by studied avoidance OF
a committance to any candidate for
next year. coupled with the declara-
tion that "it is too early to designate
the ticket" have caused the observe
ers here to say: Bryan himself is
after it again." There are, however
other exhibits.
In this connection 1t has come to
the knowledge Of politicians in Wash
ington that intimate friends of Mr.
Bryan in western states have been
told not to commit themselves as to
the candidates Of next year until they
learn what course their leader is to
take
Insurgents Might Support Him.
AS to the signs of the times, this
is not all. either. II Bryan pops up
again as a candidate for the presi-
dency, he will, under confronting cir
cumstances, have the support Of poll
ticians not heretofore identified with
his party. Some of the insurgent re-
publicans in congress, notably some
of the insurgent senators, are cast
ing anchors to windward, and by
windward in this connection is meant
the democratic side. Half open
threats have been made that IL Taft
be renominated by the republicans

inee for presidency. providing he bt

interesting, as well as some that other
newspaper men rise to question. For
instance. the Riverside Press is skep-
ticaI about the suggestion of annexiug
part or all of Lower California. So
was the Sun man, but the information
came from such sources that there is
not the slightest reason or possibility
to doubt that such plan is seriously
considered in high governmental cir
cles.
Another feature that raises Ques-
tion is that with reference to the ulti
mate extent of arabic and irrigable
land in the valley. 1t will be remem
bered the Sun stated that there is
now about 225,000 acres under water.
and cultivation, and that no estimate
on the ultimate acreage runs above
$1,000. Which causes the Cotton
Sentinel to observe:
But Mr. HARRISON is altogether too
modest in his estimate of the area of
that desert country to be subdued. He
thinks it could be laid out in a arectan-
gle equal to 25 miles square. Probably
that would cover the district now with
in reach of irrigation. But that that
will be more than doubled is the be
lief of many who have investigated
the county. Last spring the writer of
this article travelled due west from
Imperial city fifteen miles and found
thousands of acres of land untouched.
1t is all below the level of the Colo
rado river Beyond that region, on the
first mesa. are more acres of fine land,
near which and in places on which
sonable depth
Let no one think that land will
long remain idle. Some of it can be
reclaimed at reasonable expense
whenever there is water in the bitches
to spare. One trouble is now that
there is demand for all the water that
the irrigation bitches can carry, but
their capacity is sure to be enlarged to
meet the necessities.
Imperial is a wonderful country.
and there is yet an immense area of
good land unsubdued, Its cultiyabIe
land will be doubled without the ne
cessity of taking a slice off Mexico, as
the Sun writer suggests, though that
is the thing to do ultimately Lower
California ought to be United States
territory
''The judgment of men best posted
in the valley is to the contrary The
Sun violates no confidence when it
says that the figures were from such
experts as E. F. Howe, editor of the

100000 acres was the highest figure
given. Some OF them put it materially
less than that Their estimates in
cluded all land low enough to be wa
tered from the canals, and worth cuI-
tivating. If artesian water can be de-
veIoped on the west side, toward the
San Diego mountains, it may possibly

OTARTLING ALLEGATION

~ A French journalist has inter-

was telegraphed to Paris and then
telegraphed back by the Associated
Press. In this much-traveled declara-
tion there is one startling allegation.
1t is: Nevertheless, he felt that it
would be unwise to aepart from the
path of wisdom" Here is the very es-
sence of all philosophy. Many a per.
son has felt vaguely that it would be
unwise to depart. from wisdom, just
as he has felt instinctiveIy that it
would be cold where there was no
heat, but it required the combined
genius of the President of the United

Associated Press to compress into

A IL WERE RIGHT

n The San Bernardino Sun, in its
able comments on this valley, has
drawn out controversy on the area of
the recIaimable land, and all parties
to the controversy are right. 1t is
generally recognized in the valley that
the limit OF desirable irrigation, north
of the international line, through di-
version from the Colorado river, is
$1,000 acres. the area of the new ir
Tigation district.
II is also recognized by students of
the valley that eventually there will
be return waters from irrigation above
and that there viii be impounding
works in the upper streams that will
make possible the reclamation of
hundreds Of thousands of additional
acres. But that is matter of the un
certain future.
