much injustice, here must they evolve,
here must they resolve themselves. It
is our destiny. Already the dramatist
has commenced to treat these. We are
rich in possibilities for him; and the;
actor, too, will play his part. This is
the trend. And also this American
public, with all it's foibles, has: a con-
tempt for the degenerate. The unclean
and morbid drama is not for us. It
has received scant encouragement. .:
~.- Success Based on Truth. ..*.s
4, HI cannot call to mind anything more
pitiable than two men cunningly en-
deavoring to destroy each other in a
barter. Our barbarian ancestors hacked
each others bodies. Now it is refined
cruelty. It is subtle poniard in the
heart and brain. No profession is
worthy which depends for it's life upon
the destruction Of its species. The
survival Of the fttest is now the sur
vival Of the strongest ;; it should be the
survival Of the true. You can live your
life, If you are wise, without destroy
ing single soul. IF you are capable
you can ennoble everything and every
one you touch. You can coin something
worth while from your brain. This is
success. Success is not the power of
money, not the emblazonry Of name
without truth. If you are not real, if
you are not true, if you are not good
you will work to no purpose. This
stage reflects your mind, your soul. No
one has ever been really great in any
art unless he was good, unless he was
real, unless he was true.

THADDEUS STEVENS.
His Sense of HumoF and His Unosten.
 tattOus Charity.

His Sense of HumOR and His UnO1t0As
 tatious Charity.
 Many a joke Is credited to Thaddeus Stevens, who led the Republicans in congress during the civil war and the troublous times after.
 One of the very keenest of his jests, which Is undoubtedly authentic, Is so commonplace in sound that one might easily be forgiven for falling to take in its meaning. In his last days David Reese and John Chauncey, two em- ployees of the house of representatives, used to carry him in large armchair from his lodgings across the public grounds, up the broad stairs of the capitol.
 "who," he said to them one day, twill be SO good to me and bear me in their strong arms when you two mighty men are goner
 Such a question implied nothing short of sense of intellectual immortality.
 When he had taken to his bed for the last time visitor told him he was look ing well.
 "Oh, John," was the quick reply, 1t is not my appearance, but my disap- pearance that troubles me"
 One day a member of the house of , representatives, who was noted for his uncertain course on all questions and who confessed that he never investigat- ed a point under discussion without finding himself neutral, asked for leave of absence.
 "Mr. Speaker" said Stevens, "I do not rise to object, but to suggest that the honorable member need not ask this favor for he can easily pair oil with himselfw
 One anecdote always remembered in connection with Stevens illustrates his transformations charity. A beggar wo- man met him one morning as he was limping to the house.
 "Oh, sir," she said, "I have just lost all the money had in the world!
 And how much was that?"
 "Oh, sir, it was 75 cents."
 "You don't say so!' he replied, put ting a five dollar bill in her hand. "And how wonderful 1t Is that should have found what you lost" - Philadelphia Press.

FULroN's FIRST FARE.
Ha Accident Which the stssunAea
 Genius Never Forgot.

mm AmGNMemk WHICH tmN Nt9nmRR2N
 Genius Never Forgot.
 There was one little incident in Rob srt Fulton's life which Fulton never forgot. It took place shortly before the return trip of his famous boats voy- gre by steam up the Hudson river. At the time all Albany fiocked to the wharf to see the strange craft, but so timorous were they that few cared to board her. One gentleman, however, not only boarded her, but sought out Fulton, whom he found In the cabin, and the following conversation took place:
 '-This Is Mir. Fulton, presume"
 "Yes, sir"
 Do you return to New York with this boat?
 eve shall try to get back, sir"
 Have you any objection to my re- turning with youT
 eff you wish to take your chances with us, sir, have no objection"
 "What Is the fareT
 After a moments hesitation Fulton replied, "Six dollars" And when that amount was laid In his hand he gazed at 1t a long time, and two big tears rolled down his cheeks. Turning to the passenger, he said:
 Excuse me, sir, but this Is the first pecuniary reward I have received for all my exertion in adapting steam to navigation. I would gladly commemo- rate the occasion with a little dinner, but I am too poor now even for that If we meet again trust 1t will not be the case"
 As history relates, the voyage termi- mated successfully. Four years later Fulton was sitting in the cabin of the Clermont, then called the North River, when a gentleman entered. Fulton glanced at him and then sprang up and gladly shook his hand. It was his first passenger, and over a pleasant little dinner Fulton entertained his guest with the history of his success and ended with saying that the first actual recognition of his usefulness to his fel- low men was the $6 paid to him by his first passenger.

A Lucky Escape.

During the Spanish war, while the battleships were on blockade at San tiago 1t was customary to load the six pounder guns every evening to protect against possible torpedo boat attack. While the triggers were being eased down one of the guns on the Massachusetts was accidentally dis charged, the shot passing over the quarter deck of the Texas, which was lying next in the blockading line. All the officers of the Texas were on deck smoking and talking when the shot passed a few feet above their heads. Almost before it struck the water a signal was started on the Texas from It's commanding officer, Captain Jack Phillips, to the commanding officer of the Massachusetts. The signal was, Good line, but t-'de high."-HAr

THE WORLD OF THE DIVER.
His One Great Danger Lies In His
 Utter Help1essness.


 Every surrounding, every condition, almost every detail of the submarine divers work is as if invented by the romancist for a setting to a weird, uncanny tale.
 The one great danger to the subma rine diver lies in his utter helplessness. No matter how or where he turns in his marvellous world, where even the very laws of nature seem turned topsy turvy, he is handicapped with odds against the life within him. Cropping in the murk of the pitchy darkness of a river bottom or crouching on the sands ill the green gray twilight of an ocean bed, he works alone, a monster headed, awkward, hideous creature, squeezed as if in a wise by the tons upon tons of water surrounding him and clad in a cumbersome, unwieldy armor, stiff as sole leather, which often proves his casket.
 From the instant the helmet is screw ed down and the "helper" grasps the life line and lowers the diver hand over hand, the "click, click. click" of the pumps bringing fresh air and the hiss of the escape valve carrying away the used up" air, sound in the divers ears. The "click, click, click" becomes part of his subconscious self. He is listening for 1t always, ever; not a "click" escapes him. He starts vio- lently at the slightest irregularity of the sound He listens for it so intent ly that to save his soul he cannot count correctly 100 bricks into bucket, talk ing them one at time.-A. W. Rolker in AppletOns.

Der One must be terminated for the good of the company and the peace of the Valley. For this purpose a committee is now form ing and a call will be issued for a caucus of stockholders to de. eide upon a course of action to bring about this end and to re- place Gleason's regime with a board of directors in accord with the best interests of the people of Number One.

THE DAMAGES


 the Imperial Daily Knocker re- gently concerning the action of some of the farmers in the Valley in regard to the damages they had suffered from flood waters. As is the rule with the editor ot that sheet a new idea always drives him distracted, so he had his worst fit first. While at the height of h1s delirium he charged the United States gov ernment with being in conspir- acy to destroy this Valley and wrought himself up to such a pitch as to declare that the Cali fornia Development company and Southern Pacific company had cancelled all orders for improve ments and betterments and would not spend another dollar in the Valley until the farmers had withdrawn their damage claims. In his mad frenzy he also stated that the Mexican government would retaliate upon the settlers in this Valley by shutting the water off and turning this coun- try back to the desert. Of course, if such assertions had been made by reputable newspaper or by anyone of character or standing they would have been of profound injury to our Valley. But the known unreliability of both the paper and its editor, coupled with the meagre circulation of the sheet all tended to mitigate the effects of the damage which might have resulted from the state ments made. Just as soon as the matter was called to MT. Cory's attention, however, he promptly contradicted the asser- tions of the Daily Knocker and in the next issue that sheet took back its damaging statements. The resentment of the people, however continued to be express ed in no uncertain manner and the Knocker man was given dis tinctly to understand that neith- CT he nor his sheet could bulldoze the people of this Valley. So af- ter few days of drubbing he published an article on the sub. iect that might have had some weight if it had not been preced' ed by such characteristic attack of hysterical billingsgate.
 In our issue of last Saturday we took up the matter of the farmers rights in this Valley and showed that the water be- longs to the users and the Cali fornia Development company and Mexican corporation were merely public service corpora tions engaged in the business oi conveying the water belonging to the people of this Valley from the Colorado river to this Valley and delivering it to the mutua water companies. So clear was this made that everyone can sec the rights of the people of this Valley are absolute and the Mex ican government cannot shut th'

such a breach of peaceful rela-
 tions as to amount to an act of
 war. Elsewhere in this issue we
 publish a communication from
 Miss Charlotte M. Preston. This
 letter was called forth by the hys-
 terical and intemperate attacks of MT. Howe on the damage claimants. Miss Preston also
 sent us the letters she has receiv-
 ed from the secretary of State and upon which she bases her
 course in the matter. These let ters we also publish so the public
 may know just what the officials
 of our government think of the
 matter. While the secretary does not state that Mexico is re- sponsible for the damages he leaves it to be inferred that she might be. He also duplicates the California Development corn-
 pany in the responsibility tor the dam ages. We had an opportun- ity recently to discuss this matter with certain officials of the recla- nation service. They informed us that while the concession un- der which the Mexican intake was made provided tor the work to be done under the supervision of that government; as matter of fact it was not so done, but that the men in charge of the California Development company cut it on their own account.
 They were pronounced in ex- pressing the view that if possi- ble the damages should be col lected from the California Deve1- company, as it would not be morally right under all the circumstances to force Mexico to pay them. They also said that the damages could not be estim- ated on a speculative basis and demands made on the prospect i've values of the property de- stroyed, as such proceeding would be "graft' and the farm CTS have no right to graft the c. D. company. The fact that in times gone by the company "grafted" the farmers cannot be considered, as this must be a business transaction and not a matter of reprisal. It is now an- nounced that the California De- velopment company has estab- lished a claims agent and admits responsibility for the damages. This act of good faith on their part we believe should be met in like good faith by the people who have been damaged. In this way the matters can be quickly and annie ably adjusted by the parties in interest. There can be no doubt but that the filing of dam ages against Mexico brings up embarrassing matters for the Mexican corporation. That cor poration, as well as the Califor- ma Development compauy, be- longs to the Southern Pacific. Less than month ago the South ern Pacific conquered the Cobra do river and saved this Valley from destruction. Their only means of recovering the enormous expenses of this work is through the perfection of the irrigation system and the profits that will

privately owned water companies
 rather than merge our Valley in
 the Yuma project. The damage claimants are also guaranteed
 just treatment for the California Development company is undoubt- edly sincere in its desire to set- tie these matters without becom- ing involved with the Mexican government. The California De- velopment company on the other hand is also guaranteed just treatment from the settlers, for Uncle Sam will not urge an un-
 just claim against Mexico. Ev- cry interest is thus guaranteed fair and just treatment at the hands of fhe others and the prog ress and development of the Ifn- perial Valley will proceed and its problems will be settled peace ably despite the wild phantasies and distorted Authorizations af- flicting the editor of the Imperial Daily Knocker.
 The observations made by us in our issue of Nov. 24th concern
 ing the forthcoming election for directors in Imperial Water com- pany No. and the necessity for wrestling the control of that com- pany from I. w. Gleason, has met with a hearty response on all sides. Everyone can see that he is the wrong man for the place, as no man holding his views on the question of Imperi- al Valley water rights should be permitted to control in water company affairs. As is we'll known Gleason emphatically as- serts that the waters of the Col orado river belong absolutely to the California Development com- pany by reason of their appropri- a tion under tine laws of Califor- mia and that this ownership is transferred to the Mexican cor poration when the water crosses the line into Mexico. Also that all the rights the farmers in this Valley have or can get is the right to buy the water for 50 cents per acre foot. If he and those who urge that view can prevail they will destroy the absolute charac- ter of the water rights owned by the people of this Valley and sub- stitute therefor a scheme that leaves the matter in such shape as to put us at the mercy of the Mexican officials. If G1eason's contention that the water IS the property of the Mexican corpora tion is permitted to stand it will naturally follow that Mexico could levy fine upon that cor poration for cutting the Cobra do river in violation of its con- cession and could' confscate its property. If the water is its property, the Mexican government could confscate that, too, ahd could shut it off and the people of the Valley would be without redress. We have shown the fallacy of Gleason's position in this matter many times and have frequently discussed the danger of his contentious. And as often has he reasserted his ideas and declared for corporate control and the power of the Mexican govern

SON STRUCK
BY FATHER.
AND MAY DIE-TRIED TO PRO-
TECT HIS MOTHER.

What will probably be fatal affray
took place near Screamerville, in the
southeastern corner of Maury county,
nine miles from Mt. Pleasant, at about
eleven o'clock Friday. Mr.. G. c. Gala
han was engaged in practicing his own
peculiar art of moral suasion on Mrs.
Callahan, his spouse, using as a per-
suader the family poker, when his son
Ora Callahan attempted to intervene,
and received the too frequent reward
of the peace-maker, broken head.
At the time of the latest information
from that section, Ora was still I'M
conscious, and it is so far impossible
to tell if he will recover. No arrests
have been made.
