AFTER WEST. NOT HIS POLICY

Enemies of Governor West have
taken advantage of his absence from
the state to attack his prison policy
anew. The Oregonian has had much
to say about two Mexicans whom it
classed as "honor men" and who
were re-arrested at san Diego, Califor-
mia not long ago.
But it comes to light that the Mexi-
cans were not honor men at all. They
were serving indeterminate sentences
and were released under the regular
operations of the law. The following
statement as to the case has been made
by r. a. Watson, private secretary to
the governor:
THE statement that they were as
sUred full pardon is false in every
sense of the word. They were told
that If they returned to their own
country they would be relieved from
regular reports to the superintendent,
as they would be out of the jurisdic-
tion of this state Their minimum
time had expired and they were en-
titled to parole under the state law.
The prison records verify this"
People should pay no heed to criti-
cisms such papers as the Oregonian
make of Governor Vests prison pol
icy. They are not fighting his prison
policy. They are fighting the COVER
nor because they don't like his po-
litical and economic views. He stands
for the public welfare and such Off
cials do not please the men and the
newspapers that uphold the cause OF
] Toryism and Plutocracy.

is TRIPOLI WORTH TAKING?

The county itself agriculturally sus-
tains about four eood harvests out of
ten, and the present productive soil
of the viayet Of Tripoli is about two
fifths of its 100000 square miles-a
narrow strip along the littoral Here
Arabs, Berbers and Bedouins cultl-
vate cereals, vegetables and fruit
trees, raise sheep. camels, goats and
donkeys.
The total average annual COM
merce amounts to about $4,000, 900.
OF the import trade which is about
half, Great Britain generally leads
with Manchester goods, etc, the rest
is shared mainly by Germany, France
Italy, Turkey, Tunisia, Malta and
gypt.
Thus ii will be seen that as the en-
tire commerce Of Tripoli amounts to
about $4,000 900, a mere bagatelle of

"DIXIE."
Twas in a gilden restaurant.
Whore people came to eat.

Twas in a gilden restaurant,
Where people came to eat,
Southerner all grim and gaunt,
Stepped in on eager feet.
He sat down and ordered food,
And suddenly and soon
The orchestra in joyful mood
Struck up that Dixie" tune.
There came a tumult of applause;
The southerner was glad
He felt his honor to his Cause
And could no more be sad,
"Hurrah! Hurrah" the diners cried,
And straightway dropped their RS:
1t seemed as though with valiant
pride
They'd show their battle scars.
The southerner then asked of one
Who almost broke his dish
Applaudng: "Whah ah you from,
SOM"
He said: South Haven, Mich
Another came from old, South Bend.
And one who cheered with glee
From Southport, Maine, had come: /:
his friend
Was raised out in S D.
a man from South Chicago yelled
The widest of wild cheers,
Until the folks about him held
Their hands upon their ears;
Another man whose voice was loud.
Whose hands gave blow on blow
In the applause that led the crowd
Was from South Charleston, o.
/ The southerner looked all around
And pursed his grim old mouth
/ And said: I'm glad that have
found
| SO many from the south"
| He seeks every he goes
| When "Dixie's" played they stamp
! their feet
/ And cheer it through their nose.

water ana Of water rights better than

water and of water rights better than
they did two weeks ago.
1t was brought out clearly during
the controversy that no matter what
happens the water rights in this Sec
tion as elsewhere in the state are to
be accurately determined. Such rights
are not to be left in the present hazy
state but they win be adjudicated un-
til some day a mans water right will
be as clearly defined as is his title to
his land. This should be done because
in dry sections water rights are Of
n ore Importance than land titles.
Another fact people should bear in
mind is that the mere filing upon wa
ter does not mean the end of things
The filing itself does not give title. The
essential thing is that the water be put
to beneficial use. At this time some
local farmers hesitate to file upon wa
ter because it has all been filed upon
and they imagine it is gone. But it is
not gone until it has been utilized and
very little water has been utilized as
yet. Filings are but options upon the
water and more often than not they
are allowed to lapse.
Farmers upon such streams as
Birch and Mckay creeks who want
water should proceed to file upon
what they need. They should do this
even though the government has the
water appropriated for the West Ex-
tension. The Extension may never be
built and in that event the water goes
to the next succeeding applicants, thi,
regardless of whether those applicant,
be rich or poor good. bad or red head.
( ed. But if the Extension should b,
built there may be water to spare Il
not at first there will unquestionabl,
| be wafer to spare after the desert ha.
once been reclaimed.

is not yet complete. That is a mat
ter that will not be completed unit
the water has all been put to bene
/ ficial use.
Meanwhile people who need wateI
should act accordingly.

EFFICIENCY IN THE SOUTH.

According to Prof. Edwin Minis in
the December Worlds Work. the south
has given the lie to all who still
call her shiftless and down at the
heel.
The cotton mills, for instance.
though they are fewer, perhaps. than
those in New England. are not infer
ior in quality.
Take, for instance, the recently es-
tablished Republic Mill at Great Falls,
S. c. on March 1, 1911. the mill be-
gan operation with $50 looms. and
25,2O0 sp'ndles-the looms are the

In the fight over the endorsement
of the West Umatilla Extension peo-
pie in this vicinity have had a needed
lesson as to the value of water. The
entire struggle arose over the question
as to who should get something that
has heretofore been allowed to go to
waste. 1t is safe to say that all con-
Cerned understand the importance OF

pied by Taft. there is not much ques-

that the Senate was compelled to adopt

In other words. there are those who

trying to hurt Taft by preventing rati-

run. find they have done the very thing
to rehabilitate the Presidents political
fortunes.
Two Schools.
Two schools of politicians exist. One
thrives only on success. The other is

little capacity for playing politics. He
is frequently accused of making more
political blunders than any man who

Grafton. And 1t is a question whether
If the Senate beats the reciprocity
agreement he will in despair abandon
all attempts to get anything done by
the Republican party with the tariff
or will devote all the more energy in
this direction. II he is TO be judged
by his political record of the past, it
must be admitted he is not likely to
turn in and try to capitalize defeat.
On the other hand, just as he sur
prised Republican leaders by tackling
the reciprocity issue, so he may give
them another surprise.
All the signs are that In the next Re-
publican national convention there is
going TO be a tremendous struggle over
the platform. One phase OF this struggle
will relate to tariff. President Taft
will undoubtedly be renominated. II
he is renominated on a platform of low
err tariffs. the high tariff men in the
Republican party cannot well fight his
election, inasmuch as to do so would
merely help on the prospects for COM
plete Democratic control of the Gov
eminent.
Altogether. the Republican opposition
to reciprocity in the Senate is confront
ed with a most embarrassing situation.
If It beats reciprocity, this does not
mean II will stay beaten. The opposi-
ton faces the danger that by beating
reciprocity 1t will merely fan the flames
of a fiercer struggle to compel tariff
concessions and tariff reductions.
