ONLY ONE IMPERIAL" VALLEY.
I6urlin4fnn Hawkeyel

lDuhAA9SOit 11dW hcJS.J
Down in southern California they
have desert, and they called it the
Imperial valley. Eventually they turned
water into that desert and made it to
bloom like a rose.
But after all, what sort Of name is
that for little patch OF sand down
on the southwestern border Of our
land? There is an imperial valley in
this country. and but one. And 1t has
no peer anywhere upon the globe. IT
starts at or above Lake Pepin and It
ends many miles below New Orleans.
1t Is going to be the garden spot Of the
world. and 1t IL not small patch
on the map, mere bit Of sand down
on the corner Of the map, but It Is the
Very heart OF the continent. The CAL
ifornians have always been given to all
sorts OF exaggeration. Their whole
blessed section about which they are
doing SO much talking and boosting
would be but very small patch as
compared with the imperial valley OF
the United States, the valley Of the
mighty Mississippi.

THE LAKE GoMpouNcE CONFERENCE.

xK y ILLARD e. FISHER and the other Demo WV erals who are to meet at Lake Com bounce to consider "a progressive program" for the Democratic party have a right to do SO. cal effort and desire to see that the policies of President Wilson prevail in this state.
 It is a part of Democratic doctrine that the party is not owned by it's leaders for the time being. On. the contrary, these leaders are mere servants of the rank and file. It is the right and privilege of Democrats to meetin any num- bers in any place and at any time, to consider what proposals they will submit to the party electorate
 Having submitted their proposals, however, such groups should be bound by the party deci- sion, whatever it is, allowing Of course that of such an aggravated type exists as to make submission impossible.
 To operate a aArepublican form of govern ment requires large organizations of men. Such organizations will grow up about various beliefs and principles, and over the struggle for offices and patronage
 In order to do effective political work, aside from purely educational effort, men must &lly themselves with one 6r another of these groups
 Having made such an alliance it is ordi- narily 8 duty of the party man to vote with the organization he has chosen.
 Certainly it is his duty to do so in cases where he has submitted to the party arbitra- ment. But when the principles Of the voter no longer are substantially the principles Of his party, it is his duty to enter the party which is nearest to his views
 The Democrats who will meet at Lake Com bounce should offer their program, bring it in to & Democratic convention, and abide by the results, unless, indeed, their program issof such 8a nature that it takes them into some other party Then they should join that party They should not ask Democratic judgment, and re- fuse to abide by the Democratic decision, while still claiming to be DeInocrats.t
 We expect good will flow from Mayor Fish CTS conference. Those parties only are dead or dying, in which agitation has ceased, and in which there is no conflict for the maintenance of progress.

noM TO TAkE RAILRoADs our OF poLITIcs


T~WO RAILROAD presidents have joined l Mir. Mellen recently in proclaiming a belief that. national ownership of railroads is inevitable One of them fears that the nation alization of the lines may take the railroad into politics.
 He has observed to very little purpose, not to know that it would take the railroads out Of politics How can railroads be more in politics than they are now2
 They control legislatures, common coun- cils, governors, lobbyists politicians and politi cal bosses. %
 Didn't MT Mellen testify that MT. Roraback had long been on. the New Haven payroll, and Der of the third house, and the chairman of the Republican state scentral committee, which makes him the official head of the party which has been almost continuously in power in Con- nectcut more than two decades
 Go from city to city and from town to town in Connecticut, and it will appear that the poli- tical leadership is largely in the hands of rail- road lawyers, or controlled by politicians who are founded on railroad money.
 Mr. sMeMenf testified to millions spent on slush funds to control political economists, col lege professors, and statesmen.
 He described the purchase of trolley lines at inflated prices upon the importantly of a gentleman who was a member of the United States Senate and powerful therein, and told much more of equal instructiveness.
 The things to which Mr. Mellen testified have not been exceptional in the United States. They have been general These things are not new in the United States. They are very old.
 So that one of the chief benefits of nation alization would be to remove from the govern ment the corrupting influence of railroad man agers and railroad financiers. To take the rail roads out of politics at once and forever na- tionalize them

TIIE sHREvEpoRT RATE GAsE.

T%HE DECISION of the Supreme Court in
 tho Shreveport rate case seems un- avoidable, upon any view, if the commerce of inc United States is to be conducted over it's transporfat5on lines with view to the well be- ing of the whole nation.
 The drcE ion is not in any proper sense an assault uocn state rights. National regulation of railroads is necessary if railroads are to be successfully regulated at all.
 NOtltins could be more impossible than that successful control of railroad transportation should flow fl orn the independent, varying and oft time U 'lary activities of 48 commissions representing as many states.
 When an intra state rate conflicts with in terstate commerce so as to unduly discriminate against the latter, the power must exist in the federal government to restore equity, because there is no otherasovereignty capable of holding and exercising the power.
 State rigl1ts end wherever an object of paramount national well being exists which cannot be4accomp1i by state action and can. be accomplished by Federel action.
 A railroad has right to earn profit on it's whole business If it's whole business pays a profit, 1t is entitled to no more. But if state commissions 70 operate as to reduce intra state rates below fair price, and if interstate rates are fixed elcye fair price, then there is lfndtie favoritisI to locality at the expense of the na- ton. situation which plainly cannot be per mitted to continue and which must have con tin0ed if the supreme court had given con- trary decision in this case

AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIMENT.

v REENWICH, which is becoming labora- AI tory of social experiment, launches in4 to most interesting project, this summers The Fairhope summer school will open July 9th and continue to August IT.
 The school is conducted by Marietta L.. Johnson, after system which is a considerable departufe from prevailing methods, and with a spiritual resemblance to the Montessori system, which noted Italian woman has made famous.
 The essence of the system is summed up. in these maxims by Mrs. Johnson:
 "A sound accomplished body, an intelligent mind sincere spirit, this is education.
 The order of development of the nervous system must not be reversed if we expect Sto produce fine folks.
 The law Of the unfolding mind may not be violated if intelligence is looked for.
 "A joy of the spirit is essential to a sym metricaI character
 A sincere, wholesome experience is the fundamental basis for all moral conceptions 2,
 It may be said, by way of illustration of the broad difference of viewpoint, that absence from school is not regarded by Mrs Johnson as necessarily injurious to thespupil, providing the absence has been devoted to some household duty, within the powers of the child and such services when the child returns to school, are adopted into the lessons for the next day and are made of value to the whole school.
 The fault of the modern public school is the serious repression it works upon individual capacities and possibilities.
 Whether. Mrs. Jollnson's. system gives too much play to individual forces remains to be seen Probably not, for the development of in dividual tendencies must in the nature of things be constantly disciplined and restrained because it's activities are conducted in the midst of others and limited by the activities of others.
