TOO MUCH WATER

The wonderful development of
water in the Vegas Valley from
artesian wells and other sources
have proven again that every
blessing has coupled with it some
disadvantages.
William j. Stewart and John w.
Tuck, owners of adjoining tracts
are at loggerhtads over the water,
estimated at something like 200
inches which Stewart claims is
flowing from the Tuck ranch onto
his own, rendering the land little
better than bog in which horses,
cattle and even humans are in
danger of miring down.
There are threats of lawsuit and
various. other dire happenings if
the matter is not speedily
remedied. In this land of little
rain, a protest of too much water
is certainly novelty.-Las Vegas

JURY BR|B|NG

The trial of Clarence barrow
at Los Angeles on the charge of
jury bribing will attract the atten-
ton of the entire country.
Darrow has been a prominent
figure in labor litigation for many
years and has held the confidence
OF great many people outside of
labor circles. According to re-
ports, he handled the MCNAMARA
defense fund, and if any of it was
used to bride prospective jurors
he must have known it. If the
charge is proven, barrow should he
convicted and severely punished.
Jury bribing strikes at the very
foundation of our judicial system
and deprives the people of the
rights guaranteed to Il en- by the
Fundamental law.
This crime has been altogether
too frequent in this country. Many
wealthy criminals have escaped
punishment by bribering enough
jurors to prevent their convic-
ton.
In the Mcnamara case the Jury
bribers were caught in the act.
They were not buying jurors with
their own money as they had no
particular interest in the man on
trial. They were using money
furnished them for specific
purpose of corrupting
jurors. That money is said to
have come from the fund handled
by Clarence barrow.
If he is convicted Of the charge,
the judge who sentences him
should take into consideration his
power for evil and fix the penalty
accordingly. There should be no
sympathy shown him.
Still we can hardly think that
man of Clarence Darrow's standing
and reputation can be guilty,
directly or indirectly, of jury
bribing. We have an excalted
opinion Of Mr.. Darrow's ability as
lawyer and have believed him to
be an earnest, honorable advocate
Of the cause Of union labor. We
trust that he may come out the
fire unscorched.
