Arizona is said to bs the dryest
state in the Union but some of the
thirsty who live there aver that
Arizona just at present is not so
dry as the region that has always
looked to Milwaukee and St. Louis
for moisture.
It is to be noticed that the pro
test against the peace treaty ana
its articles are growing less pro
nounced. It will be ratified one of
these days for only the most stub
born of minds would hold up the
pea:e of the world and the pros
pects of business to negotiate an
other treaty. As to its wisdom and
the practical workings of the agree
ment, that is a matter for the fu
ture to determine.
One of the best things which the
chautsuqua offered was Mr. Whit
ney's reading of "Turn to the
Right". Not only was Mr. Whit-,
ney possessed of astonishing talent
as an impersonator but the charact
er of the play itself was most satis
fying. It was something on could
sit through and enjoy every minute.
No problem of doubtful propriety
were offered to offend the senses
and abash your laith in your fellow
men. No sensations with Impossi
ble climaxes with' no justification
other than the mere hope of creat
ing a thrill. Just a plain homely
story of plain homely people sea
soned with wit and garnished with
rich humor. It was exceedingly
good.
In his addresses Mr. Bryan tells
how he found when visiting the
ranama canal that the slides in the
Culebra cut continue and force is
constantly employed in clearing
away the resulting dirt. He asked
how long the slides would continue
and was told it would be until the
wallof earth on the sides of the
canal had reached the "angle of re
pose". This is a felicitous expres
sion and has hundreds of applies
tions in every day life. It is
that for which people constantly
seek. Some people are unable to
reach the angle of repose because
they are not resting on the right
sort of a foundation. As fast as
the tides f time tear sway the pro
jecting surface that overhangs the
gulf of necessity, the ground also
crumbles beneith them becsuse it
is not of s substance to withstand
the elements. Thus the sliding
process is repeated snd thus they
seek in vain in a lifetime for that
repose so ardently longed for.

When all of the contemplated
highway work is in it will shorten
the distance to neighbor towns and
make attractions such as the Dallas
Chautauqua something in which the
whole county can participate as a
home affair. When that time
comes, let us hope county people
will mingle more and in time cul
tivate a tolerance and friendly
spirit, just the reverse of that ex
hibited when the county voted
against the reconstructionfact that
would have added $100,000 in state
We couldn't imagine a bett
time to consider a proposed sddi
tion to our water system than right
now. While the pumps are doing
their best and the patience snd to!
erance of the patrons in the city
are fine, yet all must realize that
some change is imperative. Grav
ity water is not ss good ss well
water, but it has the merit of
quantity, offering enough for the
fullest domestic use ss well as for
lawns and gardens. Not only
would it yield very much more ws
ter but it would be cheaper. There
are also. Important prospects for
commtrcial irrigation that could be
developed and with the through
highway conveniently at hand we
could develop an important market
garden industry. There are com'
mercial industries, such as canning,
condensing and packing to which an
amDle sumly of water would be at
tractive. We must realize, how
ever, that the proposal to secure
gravity water entails heavy respon
nihilities and financial problems and
these are the things we must con
sider and consider carefully before
we act.
