Col. Roy Stafford, very pointedly and
with some slight manifestation Of feel
ing, declines to accept our suggestion
that irrigation" be referred TO Col.
Walter Ferguson as lord high arbitra-
tor with view TO getting an accurate,
scientific definition Of this somewhat
inclusive term. Before entering into
any formal conversations ON the
subject we feel that it Is only fair to
quote the objections OF the former TO
such ac curse Col Stafford writes
I'VE object to the submission OF 50
intricate and technical question to a
meteorological bush Lacquer like Walter
Ferguson His knowledge of the farm
is confined largely TO animal husband
ry. Our recollection is that he spe-
cialized on the White Mule Moreover,
he lives in the alfalfa region where
the tendency OF everything is to 80
downward for relief in case OF drouth.
Our idea of irrigation is to go up--np
a flight or two Of stairs. for instance.
Passing over at present the great
principle involved in the matter our
duty requires us to call attention to
the fact that the above statement is
calculated to put Col. Ferguson before
the public In false light We deny
unqualifiedly that he is anything like
a meteorological bush Lacquer" and
we cannot believe that Col. Stafford Ii
candid in making such d charge. Col.
Ferguson investigation of the 'irri
gator" question has by no means been
confined to the alfalfa country but on
the other hand, he has done exhaustive
research work in the laboratories at
Guthrie and Oklahoma City where un-
surpassed facilities for such scientific
studies are offered. and we believe
Col Stafford is aware of this fact
We take it therefore that the objec-
tion to the proposed arbitrator Is
mere subterfuga TO evade the principle
at issue, i. e.. the disinterested adiudi-
cation of the question by an impartial
tribunal. We are strengthened in this
view by the impatience which Col.
STAFFORD manifests toward the Hague
tribunal idea and the slight anlmad
version which he sings at us as pro
ponent Of it In the present instance.
Taking broad. charitable view, we
are constrained to believe that the real
objection Of Col Stafford to our pro-
posal is based upon his opposition to
the arbitration of questions in which
''honor' is involved a la Roosevelt.
Our only motive in the matter being
a comprehensive settlement of the
question along broad, humanitarian
lines, we are not bit disposed to in
sist upon our own pet ideas and there
fore, without reflection upon Col Fer
guson, we withdraw our suggestion
that he act as arbitrator, and propose
that the matter be submitted to the
A. B. G. mediators This can be done
without entailing extra work upon the
mediators since Huerta's irrigation
policy seems to be one OF the promi-
nent factors in the Mexican situation
and therefore must enter largely into
the negotiations of the peace-makers.
