A RIVER ON A RAMPAGE.

The Southern Pacific railway has
served notice on the state OF Califor-
MIA and upon the country in genera!
that il can no longer spend its money
to control the floor waters of the
Colorado river in the Imperial valley
in southern California.
This problem became acute five
years ago, while l.. H. Hartman was
president Of the railroad The mighty
river, fed by the SHOWS of Colorado
Utah and Arizona, broke through its
banks, which are merely dirt with no
rock to hold them, and flowed over
hundreds of thousands of acres of fer
tile land. 1t made the "Salton sea-"
which is known all over the country.
because that section of the country is
a great sink below the river level
and below ocean level.
Hartman went to the aid ,f the
settlers and the state and spent mil.
lions of dollars. He brought in train
loads of stone from Arizona and
dumped hundreds of carloads of stone
and even the freight cars themnelves
into the gap, and finally succeeded in
stopping it.
But now the Colorado is breaking
over again. The president o. the
railroad says it is too big propcsi-
tion for any one railroad to handle
and it undoubtedly is. 1t is big enough
for the gove rnment to tackle and it
will need the great resources and abil
ity of the government to Keep the
river from devastating large area If
rich and fertile country. Unless this
is done the river will spread far an,
wide and leave its channel and fnAl -
new route to the Gulf of California.
1t is a job big enough and important
enough to require the government to
cope with it, just as it requires rov-
ernment and to handle the Mississippi
in times of flood.-Coloraco Springs

THE PLAGUE OF RATS.

The people of New Orleans have
started campaign to rid the city of
rats, because the animals are known
to be carriers of disease germs and
especially those of the dreaded bu-
bonic plague. San Francisco and one
or two other cities have proved that
rats can be extermiuated, but their
experience has shown that after a
short time there is temperance
of the rodents, who multiply amaz-
ingly. The crusade must be con-
tinuous.
Rats must have natural enemies, for
apparently every one of natures crea-
lures has its foe from which it must
defend itself. The fact that the rat
follows civilization and lives almost
exclusively where man lives, protects
1T from such enemies as fear to ap,
proaeh mans dwelling places. Hawks,
owls and some of the mammals pre-
vent too rapid increase of the rats
rodent cousins that live in the wild
places. The field mouse and the go
pher retreat into their holes every
time the shadow of wing passes over
the ground. In getting rid of the
city rats, however, man has no living
aid but the dog and the cat, and fir.
quently they are of little service.
The fact that rats are carriers of
disease germs was discovered not
many years ago. In California and in
other places in the west it was found
that the ground squirrel also was a
transmitter of disease. Field agents
of the governments biological sur.
vey have managed to kill most of the
squirrels in the Suspected districts" F"
1t was not long ago that the survey
officials checked plague of field
mice in Nevada and saved the alfalfa
crop of the state. 1t has been prov
ed that properly sustained efforts
can rid any community of its animal
pests.-Denver News.

solutely no control over his subordi-

eral; "his hands are tied. He has no
power to enforce his plans. All of
ficers of the state, with the possible
exception of the assessor, can do as
they please, hinder and embarrass the
governor, and he can do nothing"
This is true and the Chieftain has
endeavored earnestly to present this
condition to the people of the state
1t is one of the conditions which has
contributed to the continued violence
in the state. We have tried to i'm
press this fact on the citizens. The
thought that we were prompted by a
partisan feeling has existed to an
extent. 1t may be that the people
will believe it, now that the attorney
general of the state, the legal repre-.
sentative of the people, and the close
officer to the chief executive of the
commonwealth has said the word

INDEPENDENCE, AND JOUR-
NALISM.

From Golfers.
To most folks an Independent pa
per is one that supports their side;
the one that supports the other side
is partisan. Also, there seems to be
something in human nature which re-
acts against the idea of really in
dependent paper-a paper, that is to
say, which supports the better acts
OF man or party and condemns
the less desirable ones. Perhaps it is
mixed up with the universal human
liking for the quality of loyalty. To
interrupt course of praise seems, of
course, like the unpleasing trait of
disloyalty.
But is there anything else for a
really independent paper to do? Many
paper which regards itself as in
dependent merely contents itself with
Keeping silent about the things it
cannot conscientiously praise. In the
nature of things, a really independ-
ent paper cannot inspire universal af.
teetion. 1t is on the fence, and it is
going to get the bricks from both
sides. In spite of all the talk about
an independent press, in spite of the
great growth of the Independent vote
the only really Independent papers in
this country continue to be the ones
that have held to that rule for more
than generation, such as the New
York Evening Post and the Spring
held (Mass.) Republican. The edi.
torial page of the New York World
which has been for more than thirty
years remarkably able and virile
critic of public affairs, has been, of
intention, prevailingly Democratic. II

II detached regard, or disregard, OF

TO ABOLISH SING SING.

Nebraska State Journal.
The best known prison in the Unit
ed States is the New York state pris-
on at Sing Sing The old. name of
the place, helped by the prominence
of the empire state, has made Sing
Sing generic name for state prison.
If Sing Sing were to be abolished,
it would be as if the head had drop
ped off our penal system. A few
weeks ago A. Conan Doyle visited
Sing Sing and pronounced it a dis
grace to the country. The New York
state prison association in its recent
ly published annual report recon-
mends that this prison be abandoned
and abolished.
In its place the association would
have a farm industrial prison. This
prison should be so constructed and
arranged as to permit of broad svs-
TEN of grading prisoners. This would
allow the separation of prisoners into
groups according to the character of
their offense, the degree of their
crlminality, and of their conduct as
prisoners. From the incorrigible in
the cell house the prisoners would
grade up to the type that can be
trusted with large degree of liberty
and finally paroled. Women prison.
ers would be cared for at farm
Tor women, which the state already
possesses. AS part of the plan, eff.
forts are recommended to make the
prisoners self-sustaining with sur.
plus besides for the support of their
families.
WHIT would such program involve
Tor Nebraska? To begin with. an ex-
tension of the present prison plant
rather than a supplementary REFORM
atory at some distance. This would

tlnuance of the parole and probation
system, for an extension of The prison

CITY MANAGERS.

Much of interest has been shown
in reform of municipal government
in recent years, the commission fern
and the city manager plan having
attracted wide attention in this
country The latter plan is less
widely used than the commission
form yet its advocates claim for it
that it preserves the best features Of
the old councilmanic form and at the
same time provides highly efficient
government. The trial of this form
by number of cities is being watch
ed with interest in order to determine
whether it will work as admirably in
practice as it does in theory. One Of
the cities in which it has been adopt
ed is Dayton, Ohio, and at the end
of the first six months a report was
made on its workings. Here are som,
of the reforms claimed for it in that
city at the end of that time:
A purchasing department has beer
established and enough has been say.
ed already in buying supplies to pay
the expenses of the department TO,
the year.
Band concerts and other municipal
entertainments have been provided ir
social centers.
Five district physicians have bee,
appointed to minister to those whf
cannot afford the services of a pri
vate physician.
Vacant lots have been listed and
turned over to citizens free. for cult
walton, with the consent of the own.
ers, with the understanding that part
of each plot must be devoted to the
raising of flowers.
A five-prevention survey has re.
duced the FIRE runs 20 per cent.
A bureau has been created for Civ.
ing free legal advice to those unable
to employ attorneys themselves. The
services are chiefly in the form Of
advice.
School children are busy cultivat-
ing experimental gardens, of which
over 10000 plated plots have been
planted. The movement is in charge
Of citizens committee.
Modern ideas are being worked out
in the city's institutions of correc.
ton, affording better sanitation
more wholesome food, personal clean
illness and general welfare activity ir
behalf Of prisoners.
A police school with weekly ses.
sIons has been established.
Milk and health regulations are
improved, and there are baby clinics
pure milk stations and centralized
visiting nurse activities.
