MURPHY WARS ON SULzER.

It is not surprising to see that
Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many, has declared open war upon
Governor Sulzer Of New York, Both
are Democrats, to be sure, but they
are different kinds of Democrats.
Sulzer was quite willing to be
subordinate to Murphy as long as he
was a Representative in Congress from
New York City and had to obtain
Murphy's favor in order to get his
nomination and election. But upon be-
ing chosen Governor of New York,
Mr.. Sulzer came to the conclusion that
he was the proper head of the Demo
cratic party in the State, and he threw
off all political suzerainty of Murphy Is,
striking out for himself.
In doing this Governor Sulzer has
strengthened himself in every possible
way He is reported to have a good
understanding with President Wilson,
will very likely be distributed much as
Governor Sulzer desires it to be, with
Tammany influence left out as much
as possible. Still, O'Gorman, the Demo
cratic Senator from New York, is also
close to President Wilson, and so far
as known, O'Gorman has not broken
with Murphy. Whether he will do so
and act with Governor Sulzer is the
question, but Murphy can always de-
pend upon the support of the twenty
odd Representatives in Congress from
New York City,
1t is most interesting political
fight, and the people of the country
will view its developments and results
with unhagging interest.

NEWELL REBUKEs HILL.

We are glad to see that Director
Newell Of the reclamation service has
made direct and pointed reply to Pres
dent James j. Hill with respect to the
criticism that President Hill made upon
the work OF the reclamation service.
President Hill had stated that the irri.
cation work conducted by the Govern
ment could be accomplished with
half the expenditure now made.
Replying to this, Director Newell pre-
sents computation Of the cost of all
the irrigation projects of considerable
size recently built OF in process of con-
struction in the United States by pri-
vate or corporate capital, including in
this reckoning more than one hundred
large systems, which shows that the
average cost Of water per acre in those
projects averages about $4,000. But
on the other hand, the average cost for
rights on the Government projects is
but $45.00 per acre.
This is knockout showing in favor
Of Director Newell and against Presi
dent Hill. IF President Hill wishes to
reioin, his rejoinder will be of interest
but in the meantime Director Newell
evidently has by far the better cf tho
controversy.
II is easy to criticise, and to say
! that things ought to be done either diff
ferently or more economically thar
they have been done, but we believe
that the reclamation service under Di
rector Newell has been conducted hon
estly and efficiently. Whatever mis-
takes have been made in that service
have been made through the interfer
enee of "influence" and politics, anc
not by the choice of the reclama tior
service. More projects were under
taken by the service than the money
at hand justified, but the reclamation
service was not responsible for ex
pauding its efforts beyond its powers
to pay. That was forced by the poGti
cal influences that got busy for thu
purpose of getting results in az maul
States as possible so that members OF
Congress and Senators could show tina
they were doing their part to get worl
done in their States.
The result was that the service wa
| tied up with the effort to do more thai

the money available could accomplish
President Taft, when he visited this
Western region in 1909, saw the di1tl-
Guilty, and at once moved upon Con-
gress to add resources to tho reclama-
tion service amounting to some $780,
100000 for the purpose OF completing
the reclamation projects already under
taken and the distributing canals and
bitches to convey the water to tho Dill
ferent tracts that lay under the reser-
voir. That helped great deal, ana
the reclamation service is in far better
shape now than ever before. There
will soon begin to come back into the
reclamation fund repayments from
such large completed projects as the
Salt river dam in Arizona and the Car
n-Truckee system in Nevada; and
then there will be rcplenishment Oh
the fund that will allow of the con-
tinued beneficial work Of the reclama-
ton service, which has been Jealous IN
doing its work effectively, economical
ly, and to the greatest utilizing of the
resources at hand and the applied ad-
vantage those resources for the set

THE MEXICAN sEoEssIoNs.

The process of secession in the Mex
lean States appears to be spread
ing with a good deal Of raptdity and
strength. Sonora seeded from tho
Huerta Government without much de-
lay. Coahuila appears to be in the
lead Of the secession, and the great
State Of chihuahua ia doubtless in
agreement with the States to the east
and the west Of it. Durango is re-
ported to be disaffected and likely to
Join the secession. Sinaloa has newly
seeded. These five States would make
pretty fair nation in themselves
Their area, with Lower California,
which would probably go with them,
is half of the area Of Mexico as II
stands. The population of the hve
States is about 100000. The people
for many years have been restless and
discontented with tho rule of the cen
trail authority in the City of Mexico.
Under the elder Diaz they were long
held down and dare not revolt, but
they revolted with the Madero move
ment, and triumphed. The combined
opposition Of these FIVE States must
make very serious revolt against the
Huerta government. and it is evident
that Huerta or Felix Diaz, as the case
may be. will have all sorts of difficulty
in establishing the federal authority in
those States.
There has been in Sonora for great
many wears considerable sentiment
in favor Of annexation to the United
States. This sentiment might fairly be
responded to on the part OF the
United States so far as Sonora and
Lower California are concerned; but 1t
would be dangerous indeed for us to
undertake any intervention OF to try
to force things even there; while as
to the States of Chihuahua, Coahuila,
Sinaloa. and Durango 1t wonld be the
widest folly to think for one moment
Of annexing them, or either of them.
The Mexican problem is getting more
intricate all the time; but it is evident
that the Taft policy was the correct
one. to keep out Of the mess alto
eether; and we are glad to see that the
new administration is continuing that

COMMERCE COURT BUMPTIous.

1t seems curious that we never hear
Of the Commerce Court except through
the interposition of that court in re-
versal of the action of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. In n mum.
Der of cases not long ago the Supreme
Court Of the United States was
obliged so reverse the Commerce Court
and support the Interstate Commerce
Commission in disputes between those
two bodies appealed to the Supreme
Court. A judge Of the Commerce Court
was impeacbed by Congress, and there
is very strong feeling in the House
Of Representatives In favor Of the
abolition Of that court altogether.
Still, nothing seems to restrain the
hostility OF that court as directed
against the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. The dispatches yesterday
morning told Of another reversal OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
by that court this time the court re,
straiDing the commission in its pro,
posed action in the regulation of in
terstate transmission Of oil through
pines. The ruling Of the Commerce
Court will doubtless he taken to the

There is much discussion of the new
nickel coin. some claiming that it is
awkward and uusightly, travesty on

go into raptures over its artistic ap
pearance and quality, in spite Of the

ITS fitness as coin. in spite OF its
