AS TO THE WATER ELECTION At this time, when the water company is engaged in a herculean struggle with illegal diverters of water up the river, there seems to be no need for a change in the company's directorate, much less by a youth who on the 17th of February (less than a month ago) became a stockholder in the company, and then only to the extent of a single share of stock. The company last week achieved another victory over an up-river man, whose claims to irrigating water had been previously upheld by the Riverside court. The supreme court in the Ayros case reversed the Riverside court, found he was entitled to no water from the river and assessed costs against him. The company fought Fuller to a standstill, and put upon him a perpetual injunction prohibiting him from diverting water from the river illegally. This slippery person now comes to the surface by purchasing another piece of land and coolly diverting water from the river thereon. WHAT KIND OF POLITICS What kind of dirty politics that invites a gentleman to an aspirant for a public office the assurance that he can place if he chooses, and the erately slaughtering him house of his friends? When County School District Carpenter resigns office last week, word came city that if Prof. Walker, part of the highschool, would acco office he could have the amment of the supervisors the ing day. Prof. Walker waits by his friends to permit tha his name, a petition was cir and numerously signed ask supervisors to appoint hi the solemn promise made should be named for the which he is probably the beified man in the county to f The following day the nation is tendered another a to the office. So far as we can learn Sup Linebarger was the only r of the board who was as his word. Dr. McMullan f propriated the office himself dropped it like a hot potato he heard of the indignant p of the people concerning pointment, and now they aspires to be sheriff of county at the next election. way of thinking Dr. Mcwould make just about as water from the river and assessed costs against him. The company fought Fuller to a standstill, and put upon him a perpetual injunction prohibiting him from diverting water from the river illegally. This slippery person now comes to the surface by purchasing another piece of land and coolly diverting water from the river thereupon. Of course he will not be permitted to continue in this artful dodging, and a suit to restrain him will be immediately brought in the courts. Fuller testified in the former suit against him that his 1000-acre tract of land whereon he diverted a stream of 800 inches of water was worth, with the water, $250 per acre, while without it, its value fell to $10. Small wonder that he is up to his old tricks again. Perhaps he is anxious to come in under the arbitration agreement recently hinted at in Riverside county. There are besides these suits a score or more directed against illegal appropriators of water in Riverside county. Millions are at stake in these suits; the future welfare of this valley depends upon this solution. What is it that prompts all this fanfare and fanaronade about electing this young man as a member of the board, who became a stockholder in the company not a fortnight before he brazenly attempted to elect himself a member of the board. Wilmer Atkinson has fooled the country with a pamphlet condemning the laws governing second class mail matter. The constitution provides for the freedom of the press and from that Mr. Atkinson argues that congress has no right to say what are and what are not his word. Dr. McMullan for propriated the office himself dropped it like a hot potato he heard of the indignant people concerning pointment, and now they aspires to be sheriff of county at the next election. Way of thinking Dr. McMullan would make just about as sheriff as county school student. But what kind of political rigging is this, which means solemn promise one day or break it the next? TARIFF REVISION With that perfect mastery self and its methods which ways characterized the republic party and made it the efficient logical entity that it is, it now poses to arrange a program the work preliminary to tar vision. The tariff scheme of Senator Beveridge been flatly and emphaticallyjected. There is to be no trumpets, no beating on drums about the matter, but congress adjourns the finance committee of the senate and the means committee of the will have been authorized to sessions during the recess take such steps as they deem dient in view of the appro readjustment of the tariff rules. The president also w his part by appointing a co tee of treasury officials who prepare a report embodying changes in the administrative tion of the law as experi en demonstrated to be adv When congress meets again December, everything will readiness for prompt and e tious action and before the Wilmer Atkinson has fooled the country with a pamphlet condemning the laws governing second-class mail matter. The constitution provides for the freedom of the press and from that Mr. Atkinson argues that congress has no right to say what are and what are not legitimate newspapers and therefore entitled to the use of the mails at the pound rate. The logic of Mr. Atkinson's argument is that every advertising sheet, every newspaper published solely to exploit a mail-order house, etc., should be carried the same as a newspaper, because the constitution forbids congress to discriminate. But why does not his logic go a step farther? If congress has no right to say what is a legitimate newspaper and therefore entitled to newspaper postage, how has it any right to prescribe any newspaper postage at all? Commander Sims, U. S. N., has made some startling statements before the senate committee on naval affairs and yet we cannot help wondering if it is not largely a part of Mr. Sims' purpose to show by contrast how much he has done for the navy as "director of target practice." NOT KIND OF POLITICS? kind of dirty politics is it a gentleman to become agent for a public office, with advice that he can have the chooses, and then deliblaughtering him in the his friends? County School SuperinCarpenter resigned his week, word came to this of Prof. Walker, principal school, would accept the would have the appointthe supervisors the followProf. Walker was asked bands to permit the use of a petition was circulated seriously signed asking the to appoint him, and promise made that he named for the office, is probably the best qualin the county to fill. Nowing day the nominadered another aspirant we can learn Supervisor was the only member who was as good as Dr. McMullan first appointed the office himself, then like a hot potato when of the indignant protests people concerning his apand now they say he be sheriff of Orange the next election. To our thinking Dr. McMullan just about as good a he is constantly "hazed" by the older republican senators. And yet Senator Aldrich has agreed to postpone the vote on his financial bill more than a week in order to permit Mr. La Follette to make a two day speech on his amendment to the Aldrich bill. Fleet Entertainment San Diego, March 10.—Japanese residents of this city have signified their desire to assist in the entertainment of Admiral Evans and the men of his fleet when they reach here next month. They are raising funds among themselves, to be turned over to the celebration committee, and they will ask that a part in the exercises be assigned to them. It is well known among them that the admiral himself is a great admirer of their race. Mrs. Evans is also a friend of the Japanese, and it is said that she much regrets the slight friction existing between this government and theirs. Apropos of this, it is remembered that when Admiral Evans was in this port in 1891, as commander of the Yorktown, he engaged a Japanese dining-room servant whom he called George, who became great favorite, and remained in his service many years. George was really an ambitious student, who was serving with the idea of learning. The admiral did not know this. In fact, he did not learn it until after the close of the war between Japan and Russia. He was then introduced to the commander of the Japanese cruiser Chitose. The commander told the Admiral that they had met before, but the admiral could not remember the occasion. Whereupon the Japanese officer picked up a small table-cover, folded it in the fashion of a waiter's towel or napkin, laid it over his arm, and bowing to Admiral Evans, said, Poultr Will find a ful Egg Food, DIC Superior and a new su Remember me for ANAHEIM, CAL. SPRING Opening D Dr. McMullan first appared the office himself, then liked a hot potato when he indignant protests ple concerning his appartment and now they say he be sheriff of Orange the next election. To our thinking Dr. McMullan take just about as good a county school superintitute kind of political thimsis this, which makes a propose one day only to the next?

In fact, I did not learn it until after the close of the war between Japan and Russia. He was then introduced to the commander of the Japanese cruiser Chitose. The commander told the Admiral that they had met before, but the admiral could not remember the occasion. Whereupon the Japanese officer picked up a small table-cover, folded it in the fashion of a waiter's towel or napkin, laid it over his arm, and bowing to Admiral Evans, said, "Dinner is served, sir!" "It's George!" exclaimed the Admiral. And it was. George is still remembered by a few San Diegans, who were acquainted with him seventeen years ago, and did not suspect that he was a student of naval warfare. Messages from United States Senators Flint and Perkins have dispelled the doubt that a false dispatch created, regarding the stay of Admiral Evans' fleet at San Diego. Both senators have interviewed Secretary of the Navy Metcalf, who assured them that there had been no change of plan, and that the fleet will anchor here, where shore leave will be granted, and officers and crews will be entertained by towns people. Eight of the battleships will anchor in the bay near the San Diego wharves, and eight will anchor off Coronado beach, which is likewise in a sheltered situation. Visitors will be allowed on the ships in both stations. The officers of this county and Long Beach are looking for a couple of mule skinners, who started from Long Beach for San Diego with six mules and a wagon to be delivered in San Diego to A. McAfee. They started from Long Beach on February 28, but got no farther on their journey than Los Alamitos. There they placed the mules in a stable and the wagon was left at a blacksmith shop for repairs. After waiting a day or two overtime, McAfee set the officers to work looking for his mules and wagon, and Sheriff Lacy located them at Los Alamitos. The mule skinners spent the money advanced to them for the expenses of the trip in riotous living, and then disappeared. E. M. Nealley of Tustin has been elected chairman of the County Board of Education to fill the vacancy left by the resignation from that place of R. P.

Native Tawney is earnd to the placing of the civil war on the ref the army. The war estimates show that course would cost not less 10,000 a year, and Mr. says that such a course financial suicide. July, March 1, there had ninety-eight delegates American national convench 70 had been instructed by William H. Taft for 186 for Charles Warren and 2 were uninstructastute politicians are that Taft will be nomilected and are so adfriends. La Follette goes about telling the public that E. M. Nealley of Tustin has been elected chairman of the County Board of Education to fill the vacancy left by the resignation from that place of R. P. Mitchell, who last week was elected county superintendent of schools. Nealley is a resident of Tustin and a trustee of the Tustin school. He had a wide experience in school work in the East. The vacancy on the County Board of Education will likely be filled at the next meeting of the Board of Supervisors. Fortunes in Endives Washington, March 7.—James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, will direct experts of his department to investigate the practicability of growing endives in California. It is believed California climate and soil are adapted to the growing of endives and that the industry can be made as important as is the aseparagus industry. This idea originated with Representative Kahn of San Francisco, who acquired a taste for endives while abroad last summer. He tried some in a Washington hotel and enjoyed them, but almost choked over the price. He was informed that they had to be imported. Mr. Kahn came to the conclusion that endives could be grown in California and would prove profitable. Experts will be sent to California to verify the belief of the department, and to gather information for dissemination throughout the State.
