prcvipitntion at other j)oit in the valley lias been some
what heavier, hut then it always is, so that the comparison
holds.
The moiKliire that has so far fallen line i'orlnnatelv all
been absorbed. TJiere has been no run-off. Jt is rapidly
seeking its equilibrium by going downward into the very
dry substratum, distributing a small per cent of moisture
for some depth. The surface litis already begun to dry
rapidly from "depression and elevation"; that is, it is
being lifted by evaporation and absorbed by the lower soil
levels. The distribution of moisture to a depth of from
three to four feet, from the precipitation we have so far
had this winter, will necessanlv be of small per cent. It
cannot last long. In addition to evaporation, transpiration
will take place when the plants begin to grow and it will
not take long to consume what moisture has fallen.
Stating conditions as they are is not "knocking the val
ley." Tho truth about the valley is good enough. Rep
resentations should be based upon the truth. Misrepre
sentation, concealment, refusal to lace facts, can never
bring prosperity, only result in misconception and injury.
mature is again emphasizing the fact that irrigation for
the vallev is essential.

SATIRE OR SINCERITY
SO.MIO of the socialist papers of the ranting kind have
been heaping much criticism upon the president be
cause he said in his address to the present congress that
the soldiers of this country, in case of war, would really be.
fighting in defense of their employers' property. This
was repeated by the president tit St. Louis, and the sanm
journals because more caustic. A fair consideration of
these utterances will close the mouths of thinking men to
sucu criticism as nas necn made.
In the president's terse remarks the soldier's relation
to the iionfighting citizens were plainly stated. He made
no attempt to appeal to the glory and glamor of war he
indulged in no cant about the honor of being shot to death
but simply statud that the young men who went to war
in the last and final analvsis would bo giving up their
lives to protect those at home in the possession ol prop
erty in other words, that war as made in this age gen
erally means the. sacrificing of the lives of the young men
of the nation to enable the older men to hold on to their
possessions.
l'or, if the young men refuse to go (o war, we will be
iii iaa iaii
cm out 01 our loreign trade, or lie compelled to pay a war
indemnity, either of which would entail some degree of
adversity for the property-holding class, who tire the em-plovers.
The president said he thought the employers, for the
reason that the fighting would be in their defense, would
encourage the young men in their employ to go to war if
necessary, and get ready to go when needed. Keener
satire has not been spoken, hut the plutocrats refuse lo
see it, and the socialists fail to understand it.

Tho trivial character of much of the testimony, the
eagerness of his opponents to grasp at straws of slander,
the repetition of clubhouse gossip, of hearsay calumnies,
of petty accusations by envious rivals, all reflect the
strenuous efforts of predatory plutocracy to defame and
blacken the fair fame of an attorney whose offense con
sists in having advocated the people's cause.
The public hearing was devised in the hope of securing
something detrimental. Senators fished with a dragnet
for hostile criticism. ( 'ranks expounded their theories.
defeated attorneys retried their lost cases. Personal
grievances thirty years old were aired, but nothing devel
