DEPoRTINC ANARCHISTS.

The United States immigration authorities
last week deported Thomas Bowling. native Of
canada, and Arthur Praschen, native of Eng
land Both were accused by the police of being
alien anarchists. Investigation by the federal
authorities led to the discovery that both men
refuse to recognize the United States govern
ment to respect the flag They claimed to
be members of the Industrial Workers of the
World 1t was also discovered that Bowling
was admitted to this country without proper IN
spection. He will be taken to Victoria B. G.
Prasehen will be taken to Ellis Island y. Y, for
deportation to England Bowling and Praschen
went to San Diego at the beginning of the recent
Industrial Workers outbreak If Uncle Sam
had taken such measures as that twenty years
ago there would not have been so much trouble
in this country in the past few years, which has
been mainly brought about by this Gloss Of peo-
pie, who have become citizens of the United
States 1t is never too late to mend. however
and if the government authorities prevent the

tendencies and deport the ones already here

TO HOLD THE MISSISSIPPI.

Throughout the Mississippi valley appeal
is being made to congress TO set foot some
plan Of improvements that will
permanently check the annual losses from spring
floods The water is higher than normal for the
preceding three years account of general de-
fcieney of winter precipitation, the floods like
the present may be expected to occur frequently
If the western country is to experience cycle
of wet seasons following these dry years.
The New Orleans Times Democrat says the
drainage congress will probably ask the federal
government to move all machinery and trained
workmen not needed at Panama to the Mis-
sssippi valley and put them to work to make
the valley forever safe from overiows. There
is much merit in this suggestion 1t is difficult to
organize engineering staff. and at Panama the
country has composed of those who have
proved their worth in actual performance As
the extent Of the work to be done is very un-
certain, the letting of contracts would be waste
full of time and money; and the Panama canal
engineers have proved their capacity to push
public works rapidly and economically.
While il is generally agreed that great stor
age basins or reservoirs must be constructed on
the upper reaches Of the Mississippi and its
tributaries to hold back the rush of the spring
thaws and feed out steady flow to improve
navigation later in the summer. there is much
difference of opinion regarding the advsabilty
of maintaining the high eyee system on the
lower reaches of the river
Ii is said that these leveeS at some points
have caused the river to silt in until the deepest
part of its bed is above the level of the sur
rounding land Naturally, the water is higher,
and the only remedy tried is to build the levees
upward This sort of thing cannot go on in
definitely. One of the three greatest rivers in the
world cannot be kept within its banks on the
top of a sort of skyscraper The whole re-
sources Of the United States would not be equal
to such task.
At time it thought by keeping the
stream confined within narrow bounds that it
would its channel by the rapidity of its
current. This, it is said has not been the result
at vital points below St. Louis and the filling up
of the old river bed has made the danger Of dis
astrous floods greater than ever. Then again,
increasing the rapidty of the flow handieaps
navigation.
Serious engineering problems must be solved
but there is yet time before the Panama canal
is finished and the engineering staff is broken
up. The country may be willing to face the out
lay for permanent wroks. but any system which
involves tha constant raising of evees and vast
dredging operations for all time to come will not
meet with favor. Cities towns and important
settlements have been built up under the protect
mig evees and what is done cannot he undone
