You have heard a lot about the Columbia Basin Perhaps you have seen maps of it, with con tour lines and other markings, showing elevations and vanais, etc. Rather hard for a layman to understand Or you have read descriptions, with figures showing this and that and the other. Not easy to visualize. President Harding perhaps is coming this summer, and i may be taken over the project. But that is doubtful j Even if he is, it will be hard for the president, in‘a day, | to grasp just what is to be done i Back in the East folks are halfway interested in the ' project, but they, too, hardly understand what it’s about. And thousands of them will visit Seattle ' summer. j Before we can put over this great scheme we must thoroly understand it and realize how it is going to be worked. The Star suggests, as the best way, that a model of 4 the project be built in city hall park, or some open space ti in the city—a big model, with dams and water and des- ert complete. This will not cost very much. The few hundred dollars for the model would be well spent. The model will prove to every one that the project is feasible because it will show, in miniature, just how the real plan will be worked. We suggest, too, that school children should be taken to the model and shown its workings, that they may be educated in irrigation matters, a very vital knowledge for Westerners This is just the suggestion of The Star. We would like the co-operation of the mayor, the park board, the Chamber of Commerce and others who are interested in the development and suécess of the scheme. We shall have to work fast because the president is due here in July. Not very far in the future, and it should be ready for him when he comes THAT F 3 Peyote was first used ay a medicine by Indians in Mexico and in a reservations thruout the Western states, It is the dried flowerl 4 ‘of the peyote cactus, It produces strange feelings and emotior its addicts after being chewed, similar cifeet to the human system.—Departmen nterior, Cincinnati Post man seldem misses a chance to uplift popular edu tion In the Ohio valley and has offered prizes for the best 150-word © . hy school children, on what a rhinoceros is, the local 200 having received & $10,000 rhino, recently.

A Judicial Outrage * (From the Spokane Press) The has, declaimed for years against judicial out- rages ited by the federal courts. Political judges, ited by reactionary machines and responsible in no Sense to the people, continue. to flout the popular will and to make the republic’s power a mockery. This is brought home to us today in the indefensible sion of Judge Cushman, ruling that the telephone may defy the state government and raise its rates May 1.- A hearing on the justice of:the raise will be eld—LATER. , ° ' Cushman is not cdntent with questioning the state’s power; lie must sanction the company’s defiance of that power; lie tells the company to violate its franchise pro- visions. But at least Cushman furnishes one more proof of the “dangers that lie in a system of appointive high court udges. Federal judges should be elected—then, if the People elected a Cushman, it would be the people’s fault. ery or invention there comes a “wireless.” The promoters of may have only the best of intentions, but frequently, their enthusi- Asm Is about all they have to sell.
