vENUSTIANO CARRANZA.

Venustiano Carranza, who signs
himself commander in chief of the
constitutionalist army of Mexico,
writes with calm assurance of his
program. He is to establish all the
political and economical reforms
which the country needs for the well
fare and betterment of all classes,
reforms which will mean lasting and
firm peace.
General CarranZa is even nov mov-
ing surely toward the goal by cap
turing arms and stores from the
forces of Huerta. He is irresistible
But if the United States would per-
NIT the free importation of arms the
general feels that something might
be gained in time. Hunting the forces
of Huerta and inclosing them in hol-
low squares preparatory to extract
ing arms from them is an irksome
routine that does interfere to a GER
tain extent with the immediate pa
cification of the country and the i'm
mediate establishment of all neces-
sary reforms.
The government should know how
to deal with the mild and courteous
request of Venustiano Carranza,
whose name is a poem all by itself.
But as to the reconstruction of Mex
leo and the preceding annihilation of
Huerta, it may be doubted that the
commander in chief of the constitu-
tionalist army is thoroughly reliable
witness. These gentlemen who have
been saving Mexico since the depar-
ture of the venerable Diaz are all
such strangers to us that perplexi-
ties multiply as they send in their
cards.-Record-H Herald.

A HUGE WATER Project.

The city of Los Angeles expects
this week to complete a task OF
eight years duration, that of bring.
ing to the city large and abund.
ant supply of pure water.
Most people who have been to Cal
ifornia in recent years have heard
Of the project, for it has been of such
magnitude that it has attracted wide
spread attention. 1t consists OF
bringing water supply across noun
tains and canons and deserts for a
distance of 260 miles to large res
ervoir % miles from the city of Los
Angeles, where the water will be
stored for use as needed.
The difficulties in the way of ac-
complishment were many and the
cost was upwards of $20,0OO,OOO. The
water supply comes from Owens lake
and Owens river, high up in the
Sierras and across the range. From
there it is diverted by pipe lines and
open cuts and siphons through the
mountains and then for many miles
across the Mohave desert to the huge
reservoir beyond the city.
The engineering difficulties were
many and there will be deep inter
est and curiosity to know whether or
not the great siphons which carry
the water down and up the canons
will be able to withstand the pres
sure placed upon them.
Built is quite likely that every
thing will work well, barring the
usual minor accidents or imperfect
ions in such great undertakings But
the achievement shows to what ex-
tent cities, and especially those in
the dry countries of the western Uni
ted States, will go in securing for
their inhabitants that very necessary
thing, an abundant supply of good
water. Without it community can
not grow; with it an invitation can
be extended to people everywhere to
come and be enrolled as citizens.
All communities, Denver, Colorado
Springs and Pueblo included, must
see to it, as Los Angeles has done,
that their water supply is abundant
and that it is sufficient for the
needs of the population for years to
come,-Colorado Springs Telegraph.

THE ruins of the cliff dwellers at
Mesa Verde. Colo, are among the
archaeological wonders of the world.
l had no idea of their magnificence
until visited them last week. If
| were the people of Colorado, !
would petition the interior depart
ment to complete the road that has
been started into Mesa Verde. If
that road were completed, could
bring $4,000 people into Colorado
next summer to view their ruins.
The above is voiced by DR.. Joseph
Kossuth Dixon. leader of the Rod
man Wanamaker expedition for the
exploration of the American Indian.
The completion of the Spanish Trail
Grand Canon highway will make the
trip possible for auto tourists. This
highway will open not only the grand
est scenery in the state but the wond-
erfnl prehistoric homes of the race
that inhabited this section during the
Egyptian pyramid years. The more
We study the question the more We
are convinced that cross-continent
highway as now planned and being
pushed TO completion, will be of full.

SALOONS AND THE LAW.

, A liquor dealer who can't make a
living by selling alcoholic stimulants
eighteen hours out of the twenty-four
should quit the business and go into
something else. A drinker who can't
satiate his thirst in that time is a
subject for sanitarium. The law
permits drinking places to be open
from 6 o'clock a. m. TO IL O'Clock mid
night. The saloonkeeper who keeps
open after that hour is a lawbreaker
and should be treated as such. Pat
rons of saloons after the midnight
hour are as a rule of the class that
Colonel Roosevelt would label unde-
sirables.
BY observing the law the saloon
keeper will be doing himself great
service. He will be independent of
the politician and the grating Off
cial. But, more important, he will
take himself out of the law-breaking
class, consideration that, if he is
a good citizen, he should be very
glad and proud to embrace.-Denver
News.
The above is to the point. The
argument advanced is along lines laid
down by The Herald at all times. If
saloon men will obey the law they
will keep out of trouble and save
themselves money in the long run. 1t
is because of so many violations that
the anti-saloon league is planning an
other statewide campaign next year.
1t is law-breaking that furnishes the
anti-saloon league with ammunition.

MAGNATEs, OLD AND NEW.

al feel today" said the president
at Congress Hall in Philadelphia, "a
compulsion of men, compulsion OF
examples which were set up in this
place"
1t would be interesting to know
what salaries those men could draw
if they were alive today. Some OF
them were not great financiers. In
deed there are intimations in oui
current discussions that there were
no great financiers, no men of af-
fairs, before now. A trust produces
half billion annually, and those
who receive the larger perquisites
tower by their abilities so that they
dwarf all who proceeded them. Com
modore Vanderbilt would have been
mere microscopic atom in one of
their chairs. Though Jay Gould was
an acquisitive person he could not
have absorbed the magnate's income
from a twentieth century combine. He
lacked the brain.
The genius for organization has
produced new type. 1t is not mere
ly that business has changed, but that
to manage the business and provide
pockets for the increased emolu-
ments wonder workers are required.
Hartman completely out-classed
Huntington. The latter's compara-
lively feeble mind could not have en-
abled him to extend his operations as
Hartman did. AS his money kept
piling up he wouldn't have known
what to do with it. Rockefeller and
Carnegie seem to have got along
pretty well before, after and be-
tween, but they are the exceptions
that prove the rule.
Since our new giants frankly ad-
init that they are gigantic it is
strange that Senator Lodge, who has
written a book of "reminiscences,
overlooks the enlarged personality
that comes Of the enlarged business.
He explains the rapid swelling of the
combined giants by saying that the
great inventions of the nineteenth
century have so quickened everything
that the plutocrat is richer than ever
before.

The Chicago Tribune has started a

And the work the Tribune has start
