THE WATER WASTE.

The preliminary warning gwen bN
Mn HOLIDAY. superintendent of the
city s wafcrworks, should be needed by
those who waste water so iaVishly. But
it will NOT he needed by them, and af-
ter a while there NAV have TO ne re-
strctions imposed upon the general
public because small percentage OF
the water users persist in the careless
or selfish waste of water. 1t has al
WAYS been so here, the water-hog
is able TO inflict upon the mass of pco-
pie restrictions which n good many find
irksome. But, even so, the water
hog continues his selfishness, and
wastes water Just the same. The
restrictions do not restrict the ''watcr-
hog He is hero and there and all
about. does as he pleascs, lets his water
taps run day and night does not
sprinkle with a nozzle. but uses An open
hose, and lets it run all night. Already
notice of restriction has been given by
Mr. Holiday applying TO a portion of
the city.
There seems to be good deal Of diff
ficulty, always, in catching and pun
ishing the reckless and wastcful water
user. and imposing restrictions upon
him, which restrictions are only hurt
full TO the general mass of population.
1t is to be hoped that this year, in case
it is found necessary to restrict the use
of water generally. by hours or other
wise, that there may be such instruc
tions given to the police and al! the
officers as will result In the catching
of those who violate the regulations and
and when they are caught,
to make an example of the offenders in
such way as to strike terror into their
hearts,
The only ones affected, as a genera,
by the restrictions and
Of water using, are those
who are Law abiding and who, in fact,
should not be restricted at all, because
they do not waste the water, and are
in no way responsible for the reckless
use which makes the shortage. But
defy the law and the restrictions, and.
as a rule, get away without being called
to account. This year we hope 1T may
be different Those who are responsible
for imposing restrictions and limitations
upon the law-abidlng population, it is
to be hoped Will be caught, and pun
ished rs they deserve.

ness. There is no doubt. further, that
the failure Of much legislation which
Congress has been seeking to make eff
fcctual for some time can be found in
the absence OF the National corpora

ployers liability act, the burden of
proof, when the corporation sued is

the complainant, TO show that inter

Another point, and ono becoming

are themselves turning towards Ma

From all points Of view, therefore,
IT is clear that the Attorney General, I,
III stating the tendency Of modern in
tcrstate commerce to be in the direc-

exactly in line; there is no doubt about
IT; and there is no doubt, further, but
that Congress must very soon be called
upon TO enact such legislation as will
meet these economic conditions

RUSSIA IN PERSIA,

In the disturbances in Persia, Russia
sees her great advantage She encour
aged the revolution against the Shah
up to certain point, but at no time
was Russn willing to see a republican
form of government established i'll
Persia. Accordingly, when the Shah
was sufficiently weakened, Russia
frowned upon the rcvolutionists, and
one of her greatest Cossack officers
proceeded TO organize a force Of Per
sian Cossacks to stand against tho revo,
lutionists. This band Of Cossacks is
Of great service, ostensibly TO the Shah,
but really in the service Of Russia, and
indications arc that Russia now sees her
opportunity in the breakup of estab-
lshed order in northern Persia.
1t will be recalled that Great Britain
and Russia, some two years ago, en-
tered into a treaty, whereby northern
Persia was conceded TO be within Rus
sla s sphere of Influence, and southern
Persia within Great Britain s sphere of
Influence, with neutral zone between
10 serve as Dufter between the two
powers, within which anarchy might
reign supreme, and later on each of the
powers may encroach as they can agree
Great Britain s purpose in this was to
keep Russia away from the Persian
Gulf, and Russia s idea was TO obtain
as much as possible for that concession.
And now affairs appear to be about
right for Russia TO intervene in Te-
beran, and assert her suzerainty over
her Fsphcre of influence in Persia
The revolutionists have been defeated
IN their advance upon Tcheran, and
doubtless Russia Will find it easy to
dispose of the fragmentary forces. In
the final shake-up, the Shah will prob
ably find himself with respect to Rus
sla in the same position that the
khediye of Egypt is to Great Britain;
that is, court official, maintaining his
dignity and regal etiquette, but hav-
ing nothing to say about the practice
governmental affairs Of the country
over which he is the nominal ruler.
