It is earnestly hoped that all citizens affected directly or indirectly by this increase of rates will support the general principle of such increase as an unavoidable war measure and accept the additional burden in the same spirit Of self sacrifice in which they have accepted other inconven- | fences and burdens and the grievous personal losses which are parts of the price that the nation is periodically 1 paying for world liberty.
 In considering these increases, one vital distinction which make them | fundamentally different from any lowed when the railroads were under private control. should be understood This distinction is that there is nc way in which the present increases will insure to private profit. If they turn out to be more than are needed
 to meet the grave public exigency they will promptly be readjusted SC

 roads must buy can be realized, i
 will be the purpose of the directo general to make, from time to time
 appropriate reductions.

whose land water was turned by the zanjero. When the land of his neigh bor was we'll soaked and the head was still coming the neighbor turned it up on the land of a man just below him until his property was thoroughly ir- rigated. Not knowing then what to do for the flow continued, the neigh bor re-irrigated his own land not be cause it needed it or because he was water hog but because something had to be done with the water which had been coming to him for hours longer than it ought to have come.
 Zanjeros, said Captain Etter, some
 times complain that they are not paid enough to allow them to give their whole attention to the job; therefore, they turn the water on, go away, for get about it and the water runs indefi- nitely. It is time, thinks Captain Et- l ter, that something should be done for l the conservation of irrigating water
 and at the same time the conservation 1 of the highways.

Captain J. W. Etter usually mild hammered gentleman came to town yesterday with his war feathers con- siderably ruffled. On his way he en- countered a stretch of the road a half mile long flooded with water and inn passable. He couldn't drive through it. The water had come from a neg lected irrigation ditch and he learned that it had been running for several hours. Captain Etter wants to know what is going to be done about it; not particularly this particular case but the frequent cases of road flooding which are taking water out of the Roosevelt dam.
 He said that the farmers are not always to blame though perhaps in a majority of the cases. He mentioned the case of one man, neighbor, upon

POLITICS AT HOME
Politics This Year.

The Republican Club Of Utica, N. Y,
entertained in honor Of Chairman Hays
of the republican national committee
recently. Men and women were pres
cnt in large numbers, and Mr.. Hays
in an address said:
"What We need in this country is
not less politics. but more attention
to politics. The governing of the
country is the direct fruition Of politi-
cal activity, and have no use for the
man or woman who is either too busy
or too good to take part in politics.
They have no just complaint to make,
whatever happens. They are riding ON
another's ticket"
And now, of all times, is the time
to give this attention to politics. A
campaign of very great importance is
opening, and both of the leading par
ties as parties are girding up for it.
Candidates for Office, state or national,
are announcing as democrats or as re-
publicans, and party organizations are
equipping themselves for hard work.
This activity reaches to the top. The
conference held at the White House
last night about revenue matters was
q party conference, and had to do with,
the November elections Only demo-
Gratis were present. The question at
Issue in that party relates to the time
for levying the additional revenue re-
quircd by the government. Some of
the democratic leaders want the as
sessment made at this session Of Con-
gress. Others, fearing losses at the
polls on account of heavier taxation,
want the assessment postponed until
after the elections.
It is automatic that in this country
the people get the sort Of government
they deserve. They are the source of
power. If they watch their steps and
bestir themselves-keep track Of what
is going on, and of those who as their
agents are carrying it on-things
usually 60 we'll. If, on the other hand,
they grow careless or Indifferent,
neglecting the primaries, and, later,
the regular elections, things often go
i'll. And when things 60 i'll, everybody,
in some measure, pays.
The war is mighty big matter, and
the leading concern Of both parties.
Both arc supporting it. But it has
not banished politics. Party divisions
en- party questions still run, and will
continue to run. There are no ex-
pectations or calculations to the con-
trary. As the situation clears men are
seen ranged m party formations, and
obeying party cries; and the result
next November will carry party obi
cations, and he followed in due time
by legislation in conformity with party
promises.

AMERICA IN THE WAR.

From the Providence Journal.
Unless american workers as a body
understad very thoroughly the
meaning and worth Of self-sacrifice.
we cannot as people take our full
part in the war. There must be no
slackers at the forge or bench. at the
spinning frame or loom.
From the New York World.
The American idea of a reciprocal
artillery engagement" appears to be
to give the Germans ten shells for
one and count the casualties at the
same ratio.
From the Baltimore News.
Italy also would like a detachment
of the American Army to be sent
there. It begins to appear as IL the
only places in Europe where the
American troops are not welcome are
within the confines of the central
powers.
From the Scranton Republican.
American gunners in France are
said to be keeping Germans facing
them on the jump. We hope 1t will
not be long before they will have

The State Of the Country.

From travellers about the country
and travellers are numerous-many in
teresting statements about conditions
and public sentiment are obtained.
One man reports one thing, another
man another. One man has found ex-
isting much prosperity and feeling
OF confidence as to the future. An
other man has found a feeling of curl
osity and uncertainty.
The thing Of importance is that no.
body reports finding anywhere feel
ing Of Indifference. Interest in the
general situation. is general. People
everywhere are discussing it. Every
phase of it is being examined in as
white light as can be commanded.
This is good report on the eve Of
the opening Of political campaign in
which all the states will participate.
A new Congress is to be elected. In
many states new legislatures and execu-
tive officers are to be chosen.
Out Of a general quickening of the
popular pulse good should come. A
languid pulse would be unpromising.
The country at this time needs action
based upon the best intelligence of the
people. Thoroughly competent men
should be commissioned for the public
business. which, in volume, in variety
and in complexity, breaks all records.
There are conflicting reports as to
politics. One traveller has found no
interest in politics. The people are
thinking about something else. An
other traveller has found rather keen
spirit to discuss politics. Realizing
that they are to express themselves at
the polls next November, and that
great changes have taken place since
they expressed themselves there in No
vember, 1916, the voters are anxious
for light on the existing political stu
alton. Trey want to vote with full
understanding of what the result at
the ballot box this year will mean.
This spirit is likely to grow. Pos
!itica1 managers are cultivating it.
they want large vote next fall; and
let us all hope they may not be dis
appointed. The man who talks about
letting business and politics go by the
board until after the war talks either
mistakenly or foolishly. Both bnsi-
ness and politics must continue if the
country is to keep its proper course
and ride out the unprecedented storm
now raging.

We are in a new railway era, no<

From the Springfield Republican.
The action Of the director general
OF railroads in removing all railroad
chief executives from office, to be su-
perseded by federal directors. while
sensation enough, has not come with
out warning.
From the New York World.
At least the railroad presidents are

bench is not SO bad.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
II Mr.. McAdoo's promises are cor
rect, 1t was the logical thing for him

ure. II this gigantic experiment is q

The chief purpose Of the order Is

diate and solid federal control.
From the Providence Journal.
We shall look with particular inter-
est to see what men are put in the
