Irrigation Congress

Gov. Pardee, as president of the National Irrigation Congress-, to which office he was elected at the last meeting of that body in November at Fl Paso, has issued an announcement that the next session of the congress will be held in Portland, from August 2l to 24. The session is to follow shortly after the Trans Mississippi Congress-, which takes place from August l6 to l9.
 Gov. Pardee states that he expects this meeting to be one of the most in teresting, as we'll as important. The United States reclamation service will be one of the subjects of discussion. There is some hope that President Roosevelt will attend the session for one day, and that President Diaz of Mexico has also been invited.
 An effort will be made to have both dignitaries present on the same day.
 In short time Gov. Pardee will issue call to all governors to appoint repre- sentatives to the congress.
 Mayors of cities, boards of supervis- ors, city councils and various civic and commercial bodies will be notified also to send delegates to the convention.

Imperial to the Front

With the abundant crop that Inn perial Valley has produced this spring one might conclude that people would be too busy to think about anything but the harvest and the disposition of the crops.
 From the number of questions tbat are being asked concerning the economic one, however, one must believe that a market and what the price will be, as well as the method of handling the big crop, engages the attention of the Inn perial farmer. He wants t0 know why with al. the harvest, the producer gets so little It seems that there must have been some false teachers loose sometime in the past, who. very effectually scat tered their poison O falsehood to every mind. The many questions which fol- low, which come from people in the Valley shows that though badly misin- formed, the questoners are struggling for light.
 One wants to know if it would do any good to "divide up'. Expressing the opinion that if all the property that exists were divided equally today that tomorrow we would have rich and poor with us again, therefore the socialist remedy would be of no avail. It cer- tainly would do no good to divide up the existing property as remedy for the present social ills. Dividing up, so far from doing any good, would do positive harm if it were possible to ac- complish any such thing. But pray. tell us how did you ever get the phil osophy of socialism tangled with prop osition to divide up, since what the Socialists advocate is almost the exact see if you can find one that claims So- clalism to be dividing up.
 Another asks if it would be just to divide up. To which the answer is, that the injustice of dividing up is the handspring of the Socialist movement and the fact that the workers are com pelled by ihe present order to divide their product with possessing class creating surplus value in their hands that has brought about the necessity of establishing a system wherein dividing up shall cease and each worker be guaranteed his full product or it's equivalent
 Another wants to know if Socialism is opposed to religion. That will de- pend good deal upon what kind of religion you have got. If your religion teaches you to get as much of your brothers product as you can without rendering anything in exchange or to deny others their personal liberty or to keep your children from securing an education, or to make an unwilling wife support you, Socialism certainly will

We Must Have Uncle Sam

We Must Have Uncle Sam By c. THAYER GREENLEAY The water in our riveT Is flowing to the sea; Now that's a very wastIul thing, It seems to you and me. We want it on our ranches, We need it on our land, And if we do not get it, We'll be covered up with sand. The c. D. Go. have helped us, And are doing all they can, But we need the strength and
 watchful care Of good old Uncle Sam. Now. Uncle, its up to you To put us on our feet, We'll level all the sage brush, And root out the mesquite, If you will dam the river, And turn it down thit way; And we'll rise and call you blessed, Sing your praises night and day.

oppose it If on the contrary your religion has to do with the relations bee tween you and your God, as the word God is ordinarily accepted, then Social ism will in no way oppose or interfere with if.
 Several want to know how Socialism will effect the farmer. Really tbis IS rather hard question to answer iDas much as the farmers will have the managing of that industry in their own hands and it is bard to predict what these farmers will do. It is quite cer- tain, however, that potatoes will not be planted in Imperial Valley and alfalfa where oranges should be grown, nor oranges where potatoes thrive best. The farm department will be charged with the duty of producing enough of farm products to supply the needs of the whole of society in that line as to the methods the department should persue in accomplishing that; would be in the hands of that department. As small independent growers the farmers would likely disappear and with that method would also disappear the long hours of toll, the isolation from com panions. the risk of loss and suffering by crop failure in any locality, and most of the other disagreeable features of farming, making of that vocation one of the most agreeable of all. The farm CT has nothing to lose but his chains.
 Another wants to know if a person will be allowed private property under the Socialist regime. We hardly have space this week to dc justice in answer ing that question. briefly, however. the answer is that it will depend upon what that person wanted private prop erty in. All of the means by which a possessor can compell another to give up part of his product in order to buy an opportunity to use those means to produce his own living, will and must be collective property, any person cah nave ana WILL De RuarenIeeu prlVate property in his product, be that what it may.
 The one qualification being that he shall not use his product to prevent his fellows from producing and getting the full product of their toll.
 This question will receive fuller answer later as we'll as the other ques- tions that have been asked.

cidence, or otherwise, this vast sum of
money was allowed to remain idle in
the treasury until about sixty days
prior to the election, when every de-
partment of the Territorial government
seemed to be seized with burning zeal
to assist in putting this money into
circulation by the employment of vot-
ers to work for the government AS a
result, every voter in the Territory who
wanted to work found ready access to
the Territorial payroll, and within
thirty days before and up to the day of
the election the streets of Honolulu

lined with laborers, pil'ng stone, build

ing the road as one witness puts it
1t should be remembered that the pub

this army of voters to labor on public

There were some two hundred and

aupoko districts, thus making more
than eleven hundred voters, about ten

notoriety on the sharp tines of a mali
ciOus falsehOol, who made good. Simp-
son was sent to congress on that tidal
wave of Papulism which swept Kansas
out of the Republican column for the
first time in its history. The Republi-
cans were so badly defeated that year
that the old ofice-holding ring in. the
party ragged in impotent anger. They
were so largely to blame themselves,
for the defeat that they were angrier
than ever and invented all kinds of
lying excuses, and put in circulation
all kinds of falsehoods regarding the
successful Populists. They started the
story that Simpson, did not wear hose.
"Sockless Simpson" was a good allite-
ration, and it went. His home was at
Medicine Lodge and that sounded In
dian enough to be considered corrobo-
rative evidence. OF course it is no
crime not to wear hose, but to the COM
monplace good, it is a greater offense
than serious lapses from the moral law
And so "Sockless Simpson" was held in
low esteem by a large part of the peo-
pie of the United States. But Simp-
son paid no heed to all these clamors.
The newspapers published many funny

FIFTY PERSONS ARE INJURED
Panic Was Caused in Which Many FranticaIly Rushed for Win dows and Jumped to the
 Ground Below.

New York, February 27.-Eleven ne- groes were killed and upward of 50 in- jured, some probably fatally. by the col lapse of the flooring of the Fleet Street Africo Methodist Episcopal church in Brooklyn tonight Of those killed, two were men. eight women and one child
 The building is an ancient ramshaclxle frame structure, erected sixty years ago in the heart of the colored section of Brooklyn on Fleet street near Myrtle avenue.
 Arrangements had been made tonight to hold funeral services of one of the older members of the church, and the auditorium, which is on the second floor of the building, was crowded with an audience of upward of three hundred persons.
 The congregation was waiting in si- lence for the arrival of the body when splintering of timbers was heard, and in an instant the half of the auditorium nearest the door collapsed, carrying down more than a hundred persons. who were crushed in the wreckage of the flooring and pews. The remainder of .he congregation, finding themselves cut off from the door, and expecting every in- stant that the rest of the floor would collapse under them, fought madly to reach the windows and in some instances leaped from them and sustained serious injuries
 The cause of the collapse was the de- cayed condition of the joice and sup ports of the floor.

 Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick has given out her side oi the investigations that Cus- toms Collector Leach has been carrying on for the past few weeks. Collector Leach has taken possession of many thousand dollars worth of stuff that once belonged to Mrs. Chadwick, and has thrown the burden of proof on its present owners to prove that Mrs. Chadwick paid duty on the stuff when it was imported.
 "If anyone has turned property over to MT. Leach at his demand, they have acted very foolishly, and in ignorance of their rights" declared Mrs. Chadwick. There Is not q dollars worth of stuff l ever owned that was smugged into this coun- try and the people who now have any thing 1 ever had ought to bear this in mind and refuse to allow MT Leach to seize their property
 If Mir. Leach has obtained any jew elry in the east, it is jewelry that I sac rificed in security on loans, made in the years 1923. At that time l made several large loans in the east, and secured them strongly with personal jewelry as col lateral. It subsequently developed that the men from whom l had borrowed the money demanded such exorbitant com mission that forfeited the security rather than pay them their utterly un- just fees
 Mrs. Chadwick was equally vehement in denying that she has fortune some where In the old country.

POLICEMAN KILLS
 WOMAN HE LOVES
He Then Goes to Room in Chicago and Sends Bullet Through
 His owt Brain.

Chicago, February 27-Miss Mary Cath crime Mulveil. an heiress, was murdered today by Danil Herman, a policeman, whose love she had refused. The crime was committed in the most fashionable tonight committed suicide in lodging when the avenue was filled with pedestri- ans and carriages. Herman, after killing the young woman, made his escape, and tonight committed suicid in q lodging house at 3165 Archer avenue by shooting himself through the brain with the same revolver with which he had killed Miss Mulvel.
 Herman, who was "plain clothes man." became infatuated with the girl through hearing her play at James Catho- lie church. where she acted as organist, and had for long time annoyed her with his attentions, constantly urging her to marry him. Miss Mulvefl had refused him repeatedly and told some of her friends a short time ago that he had threatened to kill her unless she married him. At that time she expressed herself as being afraid to walk the streets for fear that she might meet Herman, who followed her wherever she went.
