SEC. LANE TO BE IN
 PHOENIX WEDNESDAY

That Secretary of the Interior Frank lin K. Lane will be in Phoenix on We'd nesday, was the news received from Project Manager Frank l.. Sellew of Yuma yesterday. Apparently, Secretary Lane has notified the Yuma people from san Diego of his intended depar- ture for the East via the Yuma, Salt river and Elephant Butte projects.
 Unfortunately the secretary cannot delay his return to Washington long enough to stay with Phoenix for the high water celebration at the dam on April 15. Project Manager Fitch had hoped to be able to conduct the secre- tary to the dam, and give him good optimistic time, watching the dWeliers of the fertile valley canduct huge hoO-raW over the presence of ample water supply in the reservoir.

FLOOD WATERS WILL
 STAY AT HALF PRICE

Flood waters on the Salt river project win cost the ranchers half the price of regular flow. according to lnforma- ton received from Washington yester- day The reclamation commission has di.sa pprOved the recommendation of the board of governors that the flood water be sold at quarter price.
 Few rancherS benefit from flood wa ters, while all have to bear the extra cost of ditch cleaning made necessary by the silty character of freshet water. It was on this basis that the commis- sion refused to set q price lower than fifty per cent Of the regular According tn figures, fifty per cent of normal charges permits the project to break even on it's canal cleaning.

WHO'S WHO IN THE WAR.
General Eoeh.


While the French general have
been given little publicity in this war,
many of them have played heroic
roles. and not the least of these is
Gen. Ferdinand Foch. who has execu.
ted in the field several Of Gen.
Joffre's most brilliant plans. When
King George conferred the Grand
Cross of the Bath upon the French
general, upon the occasion Of his visit
to France, It was a recognition OF
many gallant feats Of arms. Gen.
Foch is sixty.three years of age. and
entered the army soon after gradu.
|ating from the college In his native
town Of Tarbes He Is a recognized
authority on tactics and has written
several books which have been trans
lated into several languages. He was
long professor Of tactics at the Eoole
de Guerre, the great French military
college, and in 1908 he was made d
general and placed in command OF
the war school. For two or three
vars before the war he had been
I nmander OF a division 4 OF the
French army. At the outbreak OF
|hostilities he was entrusted with an
important command by Gen. .Joffre,
and he will doubtless rank in history
as the hero Of the great battles OF
the Marine and the User. Since octo
Der he has commanded the three
great armies OF the north and has
been Gen. Jotfre's right hand man.
One OF Gen. Foch'sl brothers Is o Jes-
nit priest. OF all the French leaders
In the field Gen. Foch has shown the
greatest brilliance, daring and re.
source in offensive operations. Il Is
to him that Joffre has entrusted his
most important movements. and each
has q perfect knowledge Of the tenn:
permanent and capacity OF the others.
That Gen. Fochf was singled out by
the British monarch to receive the
highest distinction he Scould confer
upon a foreigner for military services
IAN honor conferred upon No other
French general except Joffre-was
proof that Foch had performed feats
which are as yet little known to the
world at large.

FIRST THINGS.
American eisho,p,.. !

The first Episcopal bishop OF the
American church was the Rev. Dr..
William White, who was consecrated
bishop Of Pennsylvania by the Arch
bishop Of Canterbury 1873 years ago
today, February l1767. Bishop
White was not only the first Ameri.

siding officer at the first Episcopal
convention In America, held in 17s5.
He wrote the constitution OF the
church, when after the revn 's.inn. a
new organization Of Angelic ad.
lherents was organized. Bishop White
was the president Of the first Bible
society In America, and, with Bishop
Seabury of Connecticut, revised the
Book of Common Prayer for the use
OF the American Episcopal church.
The degree of d. D. conferred upon
him In 1852 by the University Of

nearing the rocks, President Wilson
must realize that his power to Jam
any measure Of legislation through

word along that "the boss wants It
is seriously on the wane. Mondays
proceedings in the Senate must have
been an eyeopener to the President
In more ways than one. 1t must have
opened his eyes to the fact that there
is a limit to the suberyiency OF Demo

A HOPELESS sFAILUR {

- H
The Office Holders Trust made a
Sad mistake In the selection of its
representative to appear before the
legislative committee against the
charter for Fairmont, which has been
practically unanimously endorsed by
the people Of the city regardless OF
politics.
George 2. Miller, who said he. was
once q Republican, and who stated
that the Republicans of Fairmont
were more corrupt than the Demo.
Gratis, alleging that they had burned
the ballots In years gone by, was
forced to admit that the man whom he
charged with this crime is one OF the
City Commissions who was oppos.
ing the new charter.
The new charter was discussed on
its merits from the standpoint of
economy and fair elections, and when
the Democrats could only muster one
vote of four they had on the COM
mittee. II will be seen that the new
charter has made a most favorable
impression before the House Commit.
tee. who heard It explained to them
in detail. II Is no longer considered
BY those who oppose 1t as narrow
partisan measure, but one providing
economy and fair elections, two
things that 90 per cent of the people
OF Fairmont are agreed upon and
which we do not have under present
conditions.
When q city is carrying a hundred
thousand dollars floating debt besides
over quarter OF a million bonded
debt charter that reduces direct
salaries $1,000 per year and prevents
the $4,000 extra salary grab OF last
year, Is certainly very much to be
desired. Since the legislature has
become cognizant OF the conditions
that prevail at Fairmont the mem
beers seem to be determined to give
the people the relief they are praying
for. a brighter day is in sight for
Fairmont. ~.

State Editors.

The Intelligencer takes occasion to
congratulate the Republican represent
atives In the West Virginia legislature
on the party solidarity they are pre.
senting on all questions carrying out
the pledges of the State platform and
those measures relative to platform
promises. For the first time since
1904 the Republicans are ,conferrng in
caucus SO as to be able to present a
united front to the opposition. It is
what ought to have been done before
to have secured legislation that went
by default owing to. the lack of unan.
unity or understanding. The 1ntelli.
Igcncer has not been given to endors.
ing the President and his measures,
but it does take OFF its hat to him and
his House Of Representatives in pre-
senting party solidarity on party
measures. 1t is not only the party's
privilege, but its duty to do this, US 1t
is held responsible for the carrying
out of the things 1t has promised to
It's supporters that shall be enacted
into law. II the West Virginia Re-
publican legislators have profited by
the success which has attended Presi.
dent Wilson in insisting on party
alignment on administration and plat
form measures. The Intelligencer ex.
tends its hearty commentator for
following his example.
1t Is well understood, or ought to
be, that this country is governed by
political parties, and that the party
in power is responsible to the people
for a bad or acceptable performance
Of the trust reposed in It. The kicker,
the grumbler or the so-caled indepen.
dent who raises himself higher than
his party and assumes greater intelli'
gencc than the political body which
he affiliates with can work some mis-.
chief, but that is about all he accom-
plishes. He is wholly negative unit,
lit viii be remembered that this indie.
pendent division worked untold evil
to this country in 1912, and It only
needed trial for the country to re-
cover its sanity, or the people who
were misled to become sane again.
Parties are organized to carry out
their principles and their legislative
programs, and there must be unity OF
action to accomplish these things.
The West Virginia Republicans are
pursuing the right course In having
their caucus conferences, as is evil
