turesque parts of Florida
With its ancient ruins dating back
to time when the history of man
runneth not, interlaced with wires
Of the modern telegraph and tele-
phone, its miles of she'll streets as
hard and smooth as floor and over
arched by hoary forest giants that
grew in stately grandeur during the
lapse of bysone centuries, New
Smyrna is truly a place Of romance
and rest.

him better basis for appealing to Congress. He had determined on war, but there would be a defensive war, forced by Mexico. So he worked all day Sunday re- vising his message, and laying on Mexico the blame for the war he was bound should come.
 Monday the document went to Congress. It set forth the fact that Mexico had invaded our territory an dshed American blood on American soil;" and that war existed and existed "hy the act of Mexico herself"
 Congress and the country re- sponded with a whoop. The op- position from the strong anti slavery men who saw in the an nexatlon of Texas only the exten- sion of slave territory, made slight impression on the Nation. Most people believed in the man. ifest destiny of the United States to expand and they were exas- perated with Mexico. So Polk was overwhelmingly supported and the triumphal march to the Mexican capital was soon under way.

 At once the other democratic senators who like him gathered around Bailey, trying to calm him and dissuade him. Hell regret it as soon as he cools off, :" said Tillman. Eleven of the senators telegraphed to the Tex as governor that Bailey,s depar- ture would be "a national cala- mity,' and the governor tele- graphed to Bailey that he wouldn't accept the resignation.' Then Bailey cooled off and with drew it.

LONDON. March 8. The present mobilization of the American army on the Mexican frontier has excited great interest among London politicians and in British commercial circles.
 The foreign office denies that the British government has sug- gested the action taken by the officials at Washington, but these officials speak in such diplo- matic language that their state ments are not necessarily con- vincing.
 So far as any extension of power of the United States on the American continent is con- cerned, it is doubtful if the out come will be popular with the British public. The talk of the future annexation of Canada has created great prejudice on this side.
 LONDON, March 8.-this afternoon the foreign office auth orized the announcement that no instructions of any kind had been sent to Ambassador Bryce at Washington from London, re- garding events in Mexico.

THE BAILEY EPISODE.

It's an old story that night sit tings Of congress are bad for the honorable gentlenen's nerves. Besides the physical fatigue su- perinddced by the long and un- wonted hours. think of the ex- citement! In the old unreform- ed times before 1861. much whis- key was consumed during the night sittings; sometimes there were sudden quarrels and fist fights.
 The Hon. Joseph W. Bailey is one of the ablest lawyers on the democratic side of the senate, and far and away the strongest speaker. If he has an ambition to lead the democratic side, it's a warrantable ambition. Rumor says that there are democrats in the senate who are jealous of Bailey, don't want to be led by him, and are not sorry if a chance comes along to annoy him. It says that he was annoy ed when he went back on his engagement to let vote be talk en on the tariff commission bill after the vote on Lorimer, and that his annoyance became acute irritation when Owen started the pro-Arizona filibuster. Bailey hates the initiative, referendum and recall as much as William J. Bryan, Robert L. Owen and the Arizona oemmocratS love them. It seems to have been under the influence of this irritation that Bailey decided to chuck up his

FAIRNESS TO THE RAJ LROADS.

What is the attitude of the public toward the railroads as defined by the peoples represen- tatives, the Interstate Commerce Commission? A New York Stock Exchange firm has taken the pains to assemble in a pamphlet expressions of attitude from the recent decision of the commission on the rate increases. This has been done primarily for invest ors. But the question is impor- tant for the Nation as a whole as we'll as for possible purchasers of railroad securities. The. quota tians make remarkable showing of fairness and appreciation of the problems involved. Consider a few of them:
 The attitude of. the American people toward their railroad is one of friendship. not enmity. The rate at which money can be obtained depends upon the cer- tainty with which principal and interest are likely to be paid, and freedom from individual respon- sibility in making and caring for the investment. In both these respects the railroad investment is attractive. The record does not indicate that railway credit has been impaired.
 Never before have the United States equaled those for the year 1910. estimated on any basis.
 In is undoubtedly matter of public importance that credit of our railroad should be first class. We think that a railroad in ordi- nary years should be permitted to show substantial surplus over and above the payment of a reasonable dividend. It is not only a matter of justice, but in the truest public interest, that and adequate return should be allowed upon railway capital.
 With the governments super vising board taking such an attl- tude toward railroad investments there is no reason to fear that any legitimate railway enterprise will be crippled. No honestly managed business need be appre- hensive of the square deal.

Passed the Half Million Mark

Yesterday, March Is. 1911, the gauge at the great Roosevelt dam showed 800, 234 acre feet of water in the reservoir.
 1t is notable record,
 Half million acre feet of water is such an enormous quant- ity that the mind has difficulty in experiencing fully it's meaning. The water now impounded would cover five hundred thousand acres to a depth of one foot.
 The volume now in storage may appear relatively small to some, because of the stupendous capacity of the reservoir twelve hundred thousand acre feet. But if the storage project had called for a reservoir of only half a million acre feet capacity, it still would have been one Of the worlds great reservoirs and, being full now would cause jubilation. So it is that things go so much by comparison.
 But don't let it be forgotten that half a million acre feet the stage reached yesterday is some water.
 This is more than twice the quantity impounded by the un- finished dam last winter, and yet the water stored was sufficient, with the reduced flow Tn the Salt and Verde rivers, to carry this valley prosperously through a rainless summer.
 Hence we already know that there will be an abundance of water for irrigation throughout this year. The lanchers willhave far more water this year than ever before in the history of the incomparable Salt River Valley.
 This means a record year of prosperity for rancher. fer busi- ness. for laboring man, for every body.
 Nor will the volume of inn  pounded water stand at half a million acre feet. The weather already promises another rain. It is certainty that we shall have more rain before the coming of the dry months of May and June. And when the rainy season" of the summer comes July and August-we may count with all reasonable certainty upon still more water for the reservoir, for it is scarcely possible that the remarkable drouth of last year will be repeated. But, in any case, let the summer be wet or dry, the Salt River Valley is on easy street" this year, thank you.

SOME INSIDE" WAR HISTORY.

The story of the Mexican War, recalled by events On the Texas frontier, is a familiar bit of his tory. One of it's incidents, how ever, only recently has become known through the opening of the diary of President Polk to students. This diary shows that the ostensible grounds on which war was declared were shifted at the last minute by the Presi- dent.
 There had been friction be- tween the United States and Mexico for several years. Proper ty belonging to American citi- zens had been destroyed in the insurrections there and payment of damage claims had fallen into arrears. In addition, Texas had become a fruitful source of trou- ble, and there was great indig- nation in the United States when Mexico declared that the annexa- tion of Texas would be consider ed cause of war and suspended diplomatic relations
 Polk came into office at a time when each country was infiamed against the other. While the new President had been called the first dark horse" of Ameri- can politics, he was forceful and aggressive character, narrow but determined. He at once en- tered on a vigorous policy for settling the Mexican troubles An envoy, John SIidell, was sent to Mexico to negotiate with the government, and General Taylor with two thousand men, was og- dered to the Rio Grande. This move took Taylor into territory that was claimed alike by. Texas and Mexico. It was fairly cer- tain to be regarded by Mexico as an invasion. But Polk never doubted that the territory was rightfulls Texan. and he deter mined to take no chances.
 Meanwhile. Mexican feeling was so high that the Mexican president had been obliged to re- fuse to receive the American en- voy. When news of this reached Washington, Polk decided that it was time to act. Public irri- tation was extreme, the war spirit was aroused, and. he felt that he would have the country with him.
 On Saturday. May g, 1146. the President called a Cabinet meet ing and went over with his advis- CTS a message he intended to send to Congress on the follow ing Monday, calling for war with Mexico on the ground that it had refused to pay just claims and that it had rejected the American envoy. All the members except Bancroft advised sending the message.
 That night word reached the president that a Mexican force had crossed the Rio Grande and had captured a party of Ameri- can dragons. This news gave
