THE WATER
GAVE OUT

1t is more difficult now than it
used to be to secure a piece of
government land. As the public
domain has been shrinking in
area the government has grown
more vigilant in compelling OBJ
servance of the law relating to
the manner in which such land
may be secured. There was a
time, however, when it was COM
paratively easy for land grab
bers to get title to as much laud
as they wanted with the aid of
few accommods ting witnesses.
Fred bennett, Commissioner
of the General Land Office. tells
a story illustrating how this
was sometimes done, and show
ing incidentally that there are
men who have a fine sense of the
techniCalitieS of the law.
/
Under the Desert Land Act it
! is necessary, in order to prove
upon claim, to produce evi-
dence that the claim has taken
water on to every legal .subdi-
vision of his entry. A certain
claimant, says the Commissions
er, took a party of witnesses in
: a blackboard to drive over his
claim so that they would be able
tc testify regarding his compF-
ance of the law. He was a con-
scientious man and wanted no
one to swear to anything but
the actual truth. He according
lv tied a bottle of water behind
the blackboard and then he pune
tiliously drove over the land and
every legal subdivision thereof.
This being accomplished. the
witnesses were given blank
forms to fill out, and they were
about to make affidavit to the
allegations therein set forth
when one OF them stopped and
pointing to the bottle, showed
his comrades that the cork had
come out Of it and that the
water had escaped.
Gentlemen" he said. Il can t
sign this aft lavit. How do l
know there was any water in
the bottle when we. drove over
the claim?"

CALIFORNIA AND
THE RECALL

The initiative, referendum and
recall for all cities and towns in
California becomes a law in six
ty days. Governo- Johnson has
signed the measure passed by
the legislature. All elective mu-
nicipal officers may be recalled
four months after they ASSUME e
office upon petition of twenty
five per cent. of the registered
voters of the town Tie official
sought to be recalled will be sub
iect to an election and must
leave office Immediately if anoth
er man receives the majority of
votes. The initiative and refer
endum can he invoked upon pc
tition of 25 per cent. of the leg
islators. Unless the governing
body passes or vetoes the meas
ures desired within thirty days,
an election will be held to enable
the people to pass upon the
measures. If the petition car
rles only 10 per cent. of the vo-
ters and the governing body re-
fuses to act, the measures come
up for a vote of the people al
the next regular municipal elec-
tion.-The Commoner.

shutting our eyes to the fact
that judges are made of the same
kind of clay that was employed
on the rest of us, and it isjust as
well that the judge should have
before his eyes constantly the
possibility of a rebuke if he goes
contrary to the sense of justice
in the hearts of the people. A
judge will he respected as long
as he deserves respect, and why
longer? If judge betrays his
trust it is better to let his sin
fall upon himself than to have it
rest upon the judiciary, There
will be more respect for the court
rather than less when the peo
pie have it in their power to re-
move an unfaithful servant.
Now, if a judge rests under sus-
picion the distrust is apt to
spread to his associates, but
when the people have the right
in their own hands their failure
to use it is an answer to the crit
1cism of an official.
But suppose a mistake should
be made occasionally-that is
not a sufficient in die m t
against the system. Mistakes
are to be expected just as our
constitutions contemplate the
possibility of officials, even
judges, proving false to their
trust. Why is the power of i'm
peachment lodged in the legisla-
ture except upon the theory that t
a judge may deserve lmpeach-
ment? The recall is a form OF
impeachment in which the peo-
pie act as a jury, and they can
be trusted much better than any
senate, even the senate of the
United States. After the seat
ing of Senator Lorimer who will
claim that the United States
senate is a better body to try an
official charged with corruption
than the people themselves?
The recall is coming and when
it has come we shall have a
higher standard of integrity and
a more jealous regard on the
part of our officials for justice
and the public welfare The
