pressed for payment calmly came in

a ~favorite trick and inspires conf

I'VE got him at last, and found
that he was not worth suing. Credit
increases custom in many cases, but
it also encourages the people who
never pay"
Some time ago a woman-for wo-
men also are among the people who
never pay-practised this art for
years. On the strength of expecta-
lions under a will that did not exist,
she secured a large country house,
carriages, liveried servants and goods
of every kind. She borrowed money
right and left from money leaders,
who for years were deceived by her
plausible stories. She had every
thing for nothing.
And so these people who never
pay go on and prosper. Sometimes
they are caught and punished-but
as a rule they are not worth catch
ing. That is their greatest source
of strength and perhaps their great
est encouragement.

dividual, except a municipality, the
right for such corporation or indivi-
dual to sell or sublet the water sold
or given to it or him by the city"
The charter of the city has been mod
flied so as to provide against the sale
of water or power to any but actual
consumers. except by vote of the tax
payers. Thus has been precluded the
possibility of graft or abuse in the
distribution of the precious fluid.
The operation has been carried
across two hundred miles of desert,
and was possible only after an enor-
nous amount of preliminary work
had been done. A large cement mill,
three power plants, upward of five
hundred buildings, a telephone sys-
tenn two hundred and forty miles in
length and wagon roads of nearly the
same extent, were built as auxiliaries
to the main construction.
The system consists of six storage
reservoirs and two hundred and fifty
miles of conduit. The largest of the
former is situated at the head of the
system, seven thousand feet above sea
level. It's capacity is two hundred
and forty thousand acre feet, which
Is only about eight per cent less than
that of New York's Ashokan reser-
voir. This vast store will be held in
reserve against a succession of years
of drought, such as occur but three
or four times in a century. Fifty
miles below this reservoir, the main
canal, with a capacity of four hun
dred cubic feet per second, diverts the
river into the Haiwee Basin. from
which a supply of two hundred and
eighty-five million gallons daily may
be drawn.
Much of the work is of a specta-
cular character. The immense GEM
ent-lined and covered conduit, sixty
fve feet at bottom, carries a volume
of water equal to that of a good -siz-
ed river. The largest concrete pipe
ever constructed is used in places.
Canyons are crossed by steel pressure
tubes, ten feet in diameter. For
forty miles the line forces it sway
along the rugged face of the Sierra.
Tunnel follows tunnel, totaling forty
three miles.
Several drops in the course of the
aqueduct make feasible the genera
ton of one hundred and twenty thou
sand horsepower of electrical energy
without interfering with the constant
delivery of four hundred second-feet
of water. The sale of this power and
of the surplus water will make the
Los Angeles aqueduct the most pro-
ftable public utility in the world. A
large demand exists and is constant
ly growing. The city's power con-
sumption has been doubling yearly
for some time past. 1t is paying two
hundred and forty thousand dollars
annually for lighting. In the vicinity
Is four times as much irrigable land
as that at present supplied with wat

there is not so much concrete worry,
AS a patriot, Mr.. Mitchell should
concentrate his energies on his one
proposition. The migratory worker
not only costs production hundreds OF
millions Of dollars annually, but is
the factor OF disturbance that should
be eliminated from tile labor situa'
ton, so far as his vote may be con
cerned in the creation of trouble. II
there could be a fair presentation OF
the labor history OF the last 90 years
it would be shown that the vast ma
jority of strikes, lOckouts, boycottS
and all the unhappy list had been
caused by the migratory worker
and we fear that MIR. Mitchell him
self has helped this disturber OF the
peace by his policy.
With the man who does his worL
and hos his home and is faithful to
his family there is so little difficulty
that we might look TO the future as
a stretch Of harmony and prosperity,
But the migratory worker loves dis
cord, works for discord, moves about
|.lOr discord and lives in the misery
that he creates. What a splendid pa
triot John Mitchell would be If he
would devote himself to his one evil
/ and eliminate It as u disturbing FAC
tor To both labor and capitaI!-Phi'-
