results of the new CD principles now proposed of adoption in Ari- zona, which have been adopted already by several states. It is not the people they fear to trust: but they do distrust designing demagogues who lead astray the people at some times.
 One of the truest and most for cible of the epigrams of Abraham Lincoln was: You may fool all the people some of the time; you may fool some of the people all the time; but you cannot fool all the people all the time" There's the whole proposition in nutshell. The fear entertained is not Clear to trust the people," but it is a fear to trustthose who will arise ito fool all the people some of the time." As the American system of govern ment was framed 1t was ordered Intentionally that no great and sweeping changes could (nor can they be made yet) offhand. Those who "can fool all of the people some the time" cannot carry into effect immediately their inclina- tions against the public veal, nor their plans to desecrate the rights of a minority through the imperi- ous will of blinded and militant majority, Under the present sys- tenn they cannot obtain by popular election all the departments of government at once. And the people have time to scan closely proposed changes and alterations in the law or the application there of. Consequently when proposi- ton has run the gauntlet of popu
 lar approval and has becoIe crys- tallized into law or policy, it has run true generally, and is worthy of adoption. The people may be slow in getting what they want; but when they do get it they do not find right away that it IS what they do not want, and of which they cannot rid themselves until the damage done is irrepar- able. No it is not the people who are distrusted: it is those who sometimes work the people.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

An important question involving water rights in the Santa Cruz valley has been raised in suit filed recently in the district court in Pima county which is on trial this week. The action is one brought '0y the overseers of the Farmers Ditch against the Flowing Wells company.
 The plaintiffs claim that the defendants dug a big we'll and tapped the underhow of the Santa Cruz about 1900 feet above the bead of the Farmers ditch, dimin- ishing the flow of the water over halt. They also allege that if the defendant persists in taking the aEster out at the present heading their heading will be rendered utterly useless. They also allege that defendants new ditch will cause the Santa Cruz to wash out the Farmers Ditch. The Farmers Ditch will ask that the Flowing Nells company be enjoined from asing the water until the former have obtained their normal supply and from digging the new we'll any deeper.
 If the contention of the plaintiff in the case cited is maintained by the court it will have a far reach ing effect, and will be of vital in terest to the people of Nogales whose water supply will be affected The Nogsles Water Company, il will be recollected, dug a well about two miles north of town and put there pumping plant which supplies the town of Nogales, Ari- sOna. The effect there upon the ranches farther down the drr0yC has been the same as that des- cribed in the complaint in the Pima county case. The water sup. l ply for those ranches has been diminished, and in some cases eOtally destroyed. If the conten. 2 ton of the Farmers ditch people is maintained by the courts it will De raised against the Nogales Water Company and the town of NOgales dM that case Nogales will have to go elsewhere for water-to the Santa Cruz, probably. Even there the same question may be raised later by the ranchers along the river, to whose rights any appro. priation of water for Nogales would be subsequent

Members and clerks of the board of

petitions filed by candidates for var
ious offices in the city and county. 1t
is found in many cases that the petit
tions do not carry the declaration
that the petitioner will qualify and

There will be many blank tickets in
the field; that is. tickets bearing the
name OF the office for which candi-
dates are to be nominated, but for
which no names have been filed. In
these cases, the voter will simply
write the name of any one for whom
he desires to vote, under the name
of the office printed. These vacancies
in the city are for councilman at
