Even in the ten states which vote next
November the results OF the elections
will lose much of their political signifi-
canoe because of the peculiar circum-
stances attending national issues. The
beneficial influence of the Wilson tariff,
for instance, has only begun to manifest
itself. A large percentage of voters who
only few months ago responded to the
blatter of Republican newspapers, now see
fer themselves that the whole country is
bounding into a condition of prosperity
under it's operation. The facts staring
them in the face speak for themselves.

swerable evidence that comes in the in

IRRIGATION
o@oecceceeoeoScceos0sc
BY ABBOT KINNEY

There has never been a permanent or
valuable diversion of water from the Los
Angeles river below the city limits. There
Is, III fact, no water to divert at that
point in the irrigation season. All the
water diverted for use by parties other
than the city has been and is diverted
within the city limits. The lowest OF
these points OF diversion is near Seventh
street. Such diversions are merely by
sufferance of the city, and to these no
legal rights do or can properly attach.
Perhaps the stransest thing in the con-
troversies that have arisen on claimed
riparian rights below the city is the fact
that the principal agtator does not own
a root uf land on the river. and is there
fore not riparian owner nor a possible
judicial beneficiary under any Judgment
that might be rendered with the facts
properly before judge.
The situation is substantially as fol-
lows:
First-The whole of the waters of the
Los Angeles river turned irto and run
down its sandy bed to the city line
would be wasted and dissipated before
they reached that point, SO that no val
liable water diversion could take place
there even though the whole city went
dry for the purpose.
Second-There is water enough in the
splendid water rights of the Los Angeles
river to irrigate the whole country south
of the city.
Third-The irrigation system of tho
city is extremely wasteful. The water is
run for long distances in open bitches
through sandy land. The loss of water is
immense. both by evaporation and by
percolation.
Fourth-It is to the interest of the city
to have the land in and about it as pro-
is most productive under irrigation. 1t
is consequently clearly the city's interest
to so save and to so distribute the river
water as to cover the largest possible ter
ritory, and this entirely Independent OF
any direct return.
Fifth-The proper point Of diversion Of
all irrigation water, whether for use inside
the river and entirely above the point
where the water would and does COM
mence to sink In the river bed.
From these facts and points it is ap-
parent that land owners below the city. II
prevented by the city from making diver
sions within the city lin It's, can neither
have nor obtain irrigating rights by any
judicial decision, that would be worth any
thing to them. Consequently the true
course for such land owners is to combine
with the city upon a plan for stopping g
the present waste of water and for the
improvement of the existing system of
distri button, and for its extension so as
TO cover the greatest possible territory.
This is equally the interest of the city.
Instead OF quarfeling over this question.
in which the true interests of all the par
ties are the same, we should unite our re-
sources and energies for the common
good.

The Twins Had Been Separated

"Wbere did you get him?" asked Ser
geant McGann OF the Elizabeth street sta
ton, as a man walked into the station
house last evening, leading bright-eye
9-year-old boy by the hand.
Hes been with me all day." said the
stranger, evidently troubled.
Why" said the sergeant, "he was in
the back room only few moments ago
and don't see how he got out, for
have been here every minute
"That's this boys twin brother. l
guess" said the man, as the sergeant led
the way to the back room, and his state
ment was correct. The lost boy. Allan
Nelson, years old, had become separated
from his father and brother yesterdav as
they were about to board the Ooney
island boat.
Believing that the boy lived in Eliza
beth street. this city, the police had sent
him up to that station. A pleasant fam
lily reunion followed, and father ana
twin sons returned home.-New York

WHAT THE STATE ELECTIONS WILL
REVEAL

4 State elections in years preceding

Is specially important because of their
bearing on the national contest. The
platforms adopted by the respective par
ties in state conventions, in such years,
tx the issues upon which they mean to
STAND in the national convention. The
outcome of ths elections, also, is sup
posed to indicate in some measure the
drift of public opinion relative to the
presidency.
This year. however, the state elections
will have less political significance than
usual. OF the forty-four states only ten
vote this autumn. Counting Michigan
and Rhode Island, which voted in April,
there will be only round dozen of state
elections this year. Therefore, it may be
said that nearly three-fourtns of the
statss will be represented in the national

THE DIRECTOR GENERAL

The prospect is good for a successful
Fiesta, now that the business men of the
city have taken hold Of the matter in
earnest, and the only thing left to insure
its proper consummation is the selection
of the right man for drector-general. AS
Mr.. Meyberg will not consent to the use
OF his name as a candidate, mis- decision
must be accepted. There are some men
who in many ways are qualified to act,
but M ere executive ability will not do;
the head of the enterprise should havs a
hign SOFIA, standing, a broad, liberal
mind. experience in affairs, decision, and
should be free from TIE absorbing require
ments of active business occupation, aud
must have that respect and regard of the
community which is only conferred on
men whose character and integrity are of
the very highest standard. 1t is the good
fortune of this city to have a number uf
such noble men among it's citizens so
that the difficulty does not consist in the
want of material. but in the amount Of
care in making the choice.
Among the names mentioned so far
none command more attention and re-
spect than that of Mr.. John F. Francis, a
gentleman VINO IN tne Dlgnest possible
degree possesses the requirements for tho
place. If he can be induced to accept
the position there can be no possible
doubt abou; the outcome of the fete be-
ing all that the most sanguine can antici-
pate. He has the energy, the ability. the
standing and the regard and respect of
the people, so all we'll wishers to the city
and to La Fiesta will nope that he will be
the selection of the promoters of the
affair, and that he will see that it is his
duty to take the position.
