ROOSEVELTS NEW RIVER.

A word of warning and of ad-
monition to those scientific persons
over in England who are querying
the report that Colonel Roosevelt
found a new river thousand miles
long. Gentlemen who never went to
Brazil, but who assume authority to
insist that if there's a river where
Roosevelt says he found it, it must
be running uphill, will discover
when it's too late that they can't put
the Colonel in the Doc Cook class.
If he says he found a river there, he
found it; and the only possible un-
certainty is as to whether anybody
before him ever placed it on a map.
1t appears that some maps have
been found on which dotted lines
indicated the belief of the cartog-
raphers that river ought to exist
in that general region, because the
extent of the watershed area and the
volume of other rivers flowing out
of the region indicated that there
was more rainfall than the known
rivers could handle. But that was
mere guesswork; Roosevelt went
there and found and mapped the
stream.
The British Museum geographers
who think Roosevelt's river must be
running uphill ought to confer to
take counsel of the gentlemen in our
own Congress who used to sneer
Roosevelt legislation out of court
with the cocksure observation that it
wasn't constitutional. The trouble
they afterward discovered was that
Roosevelt was a better constitutional
lawyer than they were; and the Lon-
don scientists will likewise find that
the man who goes and sees a river
flowing knows more about it than
the one that stays at home and
studies the dope sheets.
Anyhow, as to water running up
hill, let it be remembered that the
mouth Of the Mississippi has been
calculated to be considerably higher
than its source.

retary of the Interior Lane. while u
will permit the fullest development or
our coal and oil fields by private capl-
tai, is aimed to prevent monopoly DS
TO the property, and providing for state
regulation.
Under the Lane plan, a small royal
ty is charged upon the output. ana
in the State of Colorado the royalties
on coal alone would in the end amount
TO over s14.OO0.1on.O1, all of which. IS
il is paid TO the Federal Government,
would be used for the purpose OF re-
claiming the arid lands OF the West
and eventually One-half would be paid
to the State.
Under our past system of disposing
outright of such properties. the Rookie
fcllers control our oil supply. and to-
sether with other big interests. are
aiming to control our copper and our
coal.
With these lessons at hand, the coun-
try should be prompt TO come to the
aid of SeCre, airy of the Interior Lane
and assist him in carrying through his
program for the future control and dis
position of these resources.
There is the simplest possible pre-
sentation of the facts. They have
been set forth many times in the
past, but not always when such en-
phatic illustration could be had, as
now, of the dangerous results flowing
from such a bad system of land
laws.
The damage has been done, to a
considerable extent; but more of it
will be done, and conditions will get
yet worse in the public land country,
unless better laws are passed. The
Western States are the very ones
that would want these laws if they
would understand, and if their real
public opinion were represented here
in Congress-.
Secretary Lanes land and conser-
walton program deserves to be well
up at the top of the Administration
program for this session. 1t is of a
good deal more Importance than
some of the measures that are so
insistently urged from the White
House and other headquarters of po-
litical authority. 1t should be pushed
by liberals and progressives of all
parties, utterly without partisan con-
Germ, because there is no room for
partisanship in such an issue.

SAVANNAH'S EXPERIENCE
WITH PROHIBITION.

Savannah is passing through a
curious experience with the opera
tions Of the Georgia prohibition law
The grand jury having ignored vari-
Gus bills of Indictment against al
legged violators Of the law, friends of
prohibition sought from the superior
court a writ of mardamus requiring
the jury to pass on these charges.
Judge Charlton has said he will issue
the writ if the grand jury remains
recalcitrant.
The fact is that the prohibition
law, so far as Savannah is concerned,
has been an absolute dead letter.
The saloon is run as openly as ever,
with the full knowledge of the city
authorities. Various efforts at en-
fcrcement have failed because of the
lack of public sentiment. The grand
juries' refusal to consider bills of
indictment has reflected the public
Indifference. as we'll as the reason
able certainty that trial juries would
not convict.
Judge Charlton's ruling puts the
situation in another light. 1t is OBJ
viously good law as well as good
sense. for if grand jury has the
legal right to refuse even to consider
an accusation properly presented to
it and supported by prima facie evil
dence; if it has no affirmative duty
Of action, it becomes the last word in
criminal Jurisprudence. Trial courts
would be deprived of a large share of
their functions.

MEXICO'S LAND PROBLEM
LIKE IRELAND'S.

When Mexico comes to be reor-
ganized economically, the changes
necessary will be not unlike those
less spectacularly effected in Ireland.
In both countries vast estates long
ago fell into the hands of few
families through grants from the
Spanish crown in the one case and
the English in the other. In both,
peasants dependent on the land and
vet unable to own it have lived in
misery and squalor. In both, taxa
ton pressed most heavily upon the
poor, as it did in France just before
The revolution. The obsolete window
tax still fingers in effect in Mexico,
for many poems make their abode in
mud huts without stove, floor or
windows so as to escape the tax on
houses.
Remedial measures like those in
Ireland may be set in operation in
Mexico. with confscation by the con-
stitutionalists taking the place of
compulsory purchase by the govern
nnent. No economic change could
bring more relief than the gradual
development of a middle class out of
class of peasant proprietors.
Such change cannot be effected
in a day. Optimists allow thirty
years more before a system of small
landed proprietors will be set up in
Ireland through the workings of the
congested districts board, established
in 1891 to rehaoilitate the poorest,
and of the Wyndham land act of 1903
with its complementary amendment
Of 1909, aiming to benefit tenants
slightly more prosperous.
These measures, helpful as they
have proved, would have been futile
without another agency which makes
farming profitable by obtaining
market for dairy products. The Irish
Agricultural Organization Society,
more familiarly known as Plunkett's
cooperative movement, begun in
1894, has in its subsidiary associa-
tiop1 a membership of more than
100000 and an average annual turn

All this time no one had read tire
tablets. but expectation concerninS

brought to the world OF Bible students
the Tell el-Amarna tablets. the most
important discovery for the land OF ths
book since the beginning OF archaeo-
logical research there. These tablets
tell US more about the ancient political
geography OF Canaan than all other
sources put together: they have made
known TO US that the old Canaanite Ian
guage was in reality Hebrew, or the
Hebrew, Canaanite; that the peasant
speech of that day was practically iden-
teal with the peasant speech of the
land now; that the official language of
Canaan then was the Babylonian and
the method o. writing the wedge
shaped writing called cuneiform; that.
though Canaan was then a province of
Egypt. so great was the Babylonian in

performed for Savannah's edifcation
when the prohibition law went first
into effect. There will be indictments
and court hearings, with an after
math, unless experience goes for
naught, of mistrials and acquittals.

forum of expression in the courtroom

Savannah and other Georgia cities
show for the prohibition measure, is

THE LYING LABEL GOES

The misleading guarantee label on
.ood and drug packages is to be abol-
lshed by the administrators of the
pure food law. Guaranteed under
the Pure Food and Drugs Act, Serial
Number 4-l1-44," has misled mil
lions of buyers to imagine they were
getting goods directly guaranteed as
pure and wholesome by the United
States Government, wren in fact
they were getting nothing of the
kind. They were not even getting
goods guaranteed-whatcver that
may rean-by the manufacturer.
1t would be difficult to convey an
adequate idea of the measure of de-
ception and misrepresentation which
have been made possible by reason
Of this label. The food law permits
manufacturers to guarantee dealers
in their goods against prosecution
under the law; that is, the manufac-
rurer agrees that he will be respon-
sible if his goods are found violative
IF the law. At the outset, the ad-
mlnistrators conceived that a label
showing goods were thus guaranteed
would save trouble; and, by attach
ing series number, the goods would
be identified as those of a particular
producer. The serial number was ex-
pected, in short, to be accepted as
establishing that the goods had been
shipped in interstate commerce. But
when the courts came to sit on that
question, they declined any such
prima facie evidence; the detailed
facts about shipment had to be
proved as the basis for every prose
cution, so that the serial number was
useless. The guarantee, however,
vas accepted by the public, not as a
promise of indemnity to the retailer
IN case the goods were bogus, but as
The Governments own testimonial
that it knew the goods, and gave as
surance that they were good.
A more misleading legend could
hardly have been devised. Soon after
DR.. Alsberg, the present chief chem
ist. came to the head of his bureau,
he began urging the removal of this
label, and now the Secretaries of the
Treas sury, Agriculture, and Com
merce-the three who have general
supervision of food-law administra-
tion-have adopted the suggestion
and ordered that after May ], 1915,
this label shall no more ne used. In
stead, the manufacturer who wants
10 guarantee his goods to the dealer
must do so in some direct written
form, perhaps on the invoice.
Removal of the lying label is d
step in the right direction. But the
food and drugs act will not be a
proper piece of protective legislation
till standards are authorized and
fixed, and manufacturers are requir-
ed to conform to them.
