Tdvenner Points Out How Sensa.
tionaI Stories Threaten Ma-
tIon With War.
(From c. H. Tayenner.)

Washington, Dec. 5.-The presi-
dent was weary the other morning
when ne met the Washington news
paper correspondents in the regular
weekly meeting he holds with them
The lines on his face showed that the
responsibilities of his office are
weighing on him. He was pallid,
tried. His answers to questions lack
ed the play Of humor that character
ized his Informal utterances when he
first entered the white house.
He knew in advance the questions
that would spring first. Mexico. 1t
has been the theme of these white
house meetings for months. And the
questions were sanguinary, warlike.
Had Huerta sent to the powers a
note of defiance of the United States?
Had Lind prepared to break off all
diplomatic relations? War; War.
War. How soon That was the un-
spoken. but apparent, eagerness be-
hind most of the questions.
The president answered all pa
tlently. He knew of no note. Lind
is merely the medium for communi-
cation-he Is not laying down ulti-
mata. But the president by his man
ner showed he realized the futility
of trying to impress upon some OF
these news writer's the necessity for
moderation in their articles dealing
with the Mexican question.
Yet he did not terminate the in
terview without making a trial-his
usual trial. Because of the White
House custom | am not permitted to
quote his exact words. But he gave
the reporters to understand that the
newspapers are making 1t very hard
for the administration to deal with
Mexico. The sensational. jingoistic
headlines not only excite the Ameri-
can people and appeal to the worst
side of their natures. but the distor-
tions and the surmises OF the report
ers, raw boys some of them, and the
pure war fakes" are telegraphed
promptly to Mexico to create further
excitement and little more hatred
In an already excited country.
1t is a pity that this is true-that
newspaper owners will assist the
spread of inflammatory rumor and
guess. 1t Is not usually the fault Of
the reporter. His writing reflects
the wish of his employer. And SO.
10 get the good story" he draws
foundationless conclusions, he takes
straw and with 1t predicts the tenn
pest. or he resorts to that contemp-
tible thing. the out-and-out fake.
Happily almost wrote unhap-
pily-there will be no war unless the
American people desire war. It Ia
good that the people have this free
dom Of choice. But the people as
a crowd are sometimes easily excit-
ed. yielding to war hysteria. As
Champ Clark said the other day. the
United States has been the aggressor
ir getting into every one OF it's for
eign wars. And no one knows bet
ter than the president the effect In
mob Psychology Of this continual,
hypnotic repetition of the tocsin OF
war with Mexico. It puts the nation
into a frame Of mind ready to be
aroused to fury by some act that
might ethsrwiss result merely in .

be drained. The government carries
on drainage experiments; results
must be closely watched. There are
various methods of draining, one
adapted to a certain part of the val
ley. another may prove more salts
factory in some other part. To shut
off all irrigation waters and to ad-
vocate dry farming for the Grand
valley would be entirely impracti-
cable, in a way mpossible-absurd.
On various occasions reference has
been made to the reefs, the under
ground hard pans-in the nature of
dams-that will not permit the wat
er to naturally drain away. For
such conditions it Is the honest opin-
ion of a few at least, that Dynamite
is the best to use. to thoroughly
shoot up these underground reefs.
Dynamite is the land tiller's best
friend. Agricultural blasting ia be-
coming more popular all the time.
G am not a paid agent of the Du
Pont Powder Coz Every acre of the
Grand valley must be MADE to pro-
duce and as the wise man said from
his own experience that soil GER
tainly is alright If you just know
how to work It," May the time come
that the inhabitants of the Grand
valley will be able to see how 1t all
happened and how they worked 1t.

ON SOIL CONDITION

AS for as the formation is con-
cerned, Mesa county is without doubt
the most interesting part of the
earth's crust that's known. When
the Grand valley was made, 1t was
at that very moment contemplated
TO some day use 1t as one huge trap.
One look around will satisfy any man
aa to the merits of this trap, for
wherever he goes he can see the NOR
tails, all of whom have been caught.
Land prices have dropped-values
in general have deprecated and
many have tried in more than one
way to extricate themselves out OF
this monster trap Some, very few.
have been successful in their attempt
leaving and perhaps forgetting all
about losses. A prominent ranchman
residing some four miles out of town
once remarked: This Grand valley
DOLBY soil sure is alright If you just
know how to work it," Certainly In
those words, there is hope for all
who are trapped-which means the
people who enjoy their existence in
this famous Grand valley.
At the present time the men of
the Grand valley are bringing their
brightest ideals. age, all that is true
and of worth that is in them, to solve
the problems of the day. It's the
problems confronting mankind in
general that make iife SO interest
ing. The seep problem is now fore
most in the minds of the people, who
have the Grand valleys welfare at
heart.
Two ranchmen from somewhere
out in the country the other day
were discussing conditions as they
found them. One of them remarked.
"it's just like lot of dough in pan
you can't drain it." Supposing now
that that is true; the government
might whole lot better put dam
across Grand river down in the can
on below Ruby and build it up to a
level with the Excelsior divide be-
yond Mack; so the present Grand
valley could become second Grand
lake-a very good one. And the in
habitants OF the valley could then,
before the change took place, take
what belongings they could carry.
and build their homes on top OF the
Book Cliffs and the other high hills

The troubles of the Grand valley
fruit grower then would be at an
end-ditching and irrigating would
be remembered as some past sport
and the seep question would en-
tirely be forgotten. Such, however.
while it might bring great Joy. would
be too much in the nature of sad
ending. Our hopes are with our pre-
sent Grand valley-the home of the
