Never asks for a surrender of moral principle for the sake of love. Is always hovering between exaltation and depression. Never stops to think how it would look in the movies. Lives eternally is a tempestuous world. Usually thinks his own story would make a good book. ARIZONA MAY BE IN LINE FOR RIVER PACT The state senate of Arizona rejected the Colorado River compact as it is written. But there is strong likelihood that a measure, in different form will be adopted by the legislature in Phoenix which would put Arizona in line with the other six states of the Colorado River Basin. It is highly important of course, that there be reasonable haste in taking affirmative action on this compact. If the states along the Colorado do not agree, how is constructive action to be expected from Congress looking to the building of the Boulder Canyon Dam? Each and every state affected by the control of the Colorado should be earnestly in line for this compact. Then pressure of public sentiment should be exerted upon "the powers that be" at Washington, to bring about early affirmative action by Congress. It would be egregious folly to permit that great river to run wanion, spreading destruction through floods, and run low in volume of water in dry seasons. Its waters should be impounded and conserved for the needs of the teeming territory action on this compact.

Its waters should be impounded and conserved for the needs of the teeming territory through which it runs. There should be no dallying, as the need of water conservation is imperative. There is no real happiness in indolence. LISTENING IN ON CONGRESS Some one makes the suggestion that since the President's inaugural address was broadcast from Washington to all parts of the United States the debates and proceedings of Congress might be heard in the same manner by the people of the country, and that such an innovation might have a salutary and chastening effect upon the members. The radio is like the camera—it doesn't lie. Truthfulness is a virtue which has not often been attributed to the Congressional Record, and if Congressmen thought their constituents were listening in to their debates instead of reading them in the Record, some beneficial reforms might be brought about. On the other hand, it is to be feared that the people would soon tire of this kind of entertainment, if it could be called entertainment. FIGHTS FOR OPIUM TRAFFIC Lord Cecil, whose peace plan recently won the Woodrow Wilson prize of $25,000, is no pacifist where the opium traffic is concerned, according to his attitude at the opium conference. He is a hard fighter and in a bad cause, for he does not favor the discontinuance of the opium traffic. Lord Cecil talked very prettily when he was in this country collecting his prize money, but slandered us dreadfully at the conference. Fords Dearborn Independent says, "What I find it hard to understand is this: that Americans are so badly informed as to the foreigners they honor. There should be a line against handing out Woodrow Wilson prize money to men who have it in them to slander the people of America."

Wendell Phillips, who said COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying GROW VEGETABLES FOR PROFIT—Santa Barbara News In the growing of winter vegetables there seems an unlimited opportunity for the farmers of California, particularly those in the district tributary to Santa Barbara. Already, many cars of these products are being shipped from this region and the plans for the future point to a great expansion in this trade. For these products there is an unlimited demand. In all parts of the country there is an insistent call, beginning with the first sharp frost in the east, for fresh green products. According to the testimony of the Southern Pacific dining car chef, "the green winter vegetables have practically displaced the canned products on the tables of the leading hotels and in the homes, these products find their place. This branch of the farming industry is of recent growth. The farmers of California have just come to a realization that they enjoy a natural climate advantage of which they have been slow to avail themselves. A trip along the highway north of this city will show with a little more than a hundred miles literally miles of peas, in bloom and nearly ready for harvest. There are thousands of acres of land in this region available for similar development. Some of the more hardy vegetables can be harvested every month of the year although usually treated as a few months' crop. Here is a great possibility for development along this line. The farmers are learning that they do not have to depend solely on "one crop farming." An interesting illustration is afforded in the case of a bean rrower in the northern part of the country. He had been farming 160 acres in beans, but he had about ten acres capable of irrigation, and last year he decided to plant this ten acres to lettuce. The value of the lettuce from this little patch far exceeded the entire value of the entire bean crop. More intensive cultivation under irrigation of those crops that California can produce better than any other state will bring new prosperity to the farmers, and broadcast prosperity among the business men. "Society is an illusion to the young man." Emerson observed. "It lies before him in rigid repose, with certain names, man and institutions, rooted like oak-trees to the center, round which all arrange themselves best they can." But the old statesman knows that society is fluid: there are no such roots and centers; but any article may suddenly become the center of the movement, and compel the system to gyrate round it.

Southey in "The Curse of Kehama," says: Love is indestructible; Its holy flame forever burneth; From heaven it came, to heaven returneth; It soweth here with toil and care. But the harvest time of love is there. They sin who tell us Love can die; With life all other passions fly, All others are but vanity. Scott in his "Lady of the Lake" defines the "loveliest lore": The rose is sweetest washed with morning dew, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears. The rost is sweetest washed with morning dew, And Love is loveliest when embalmed in tears.
