putable resorts.
 Imperial Valley has started right and has an enviable name on account of its stand on the liquor question. Any retreat from our position in this matter will be distinct loss of standing In the estimation of respectable people every where. The Standards allegations that some parties in Fl Centro have vl- plated the prohibition ordinance and that other parties gamble here are matters of which we have no knowledge. Of one thing we are certain however. There is no newspaper published in Fl Centro that advocates placing the sanc- ton of law on such practices. As a citizen and resident property owner of Imperial we feel justified In taking an interest in her affairs and as a loyal citizen of Imperial Valley we shall op- pose the invasion of any of Its towns by the saloon. In this attitude we are en- dorsed by the very men whose money makes 1t possible for Brother Parazette to publish his paper. The saloon has no place in the Imperial Valley. Our good citizens will not tolerate it. The proposition to license crime and put the public in partnership with criminals is too repugnant to be entertained
 We hope to see every town in this Valley become Riverside or a Red lands and the sure. course to pursue in attaining such goal is to clean out the vlolators of the law, uphold the moral tone of your town and appeal to the class of people who have created Riv- erside and Redlands. The people of Imperial cannot afford to follow B: .l- CT Parazette and h.,:.:g reproach upon themselves, their town and the entire Valley.

"HIT 1T AGAIN"
Rev. HsrCOurt w. Peck Scores the Saloon and Argues Strongly
 For Prohibition

 r C-.. ~

FL CENTRo, CAL.
 wish to thank you for your able article in the PRESS" March l7th, 1906, on Imperial Valley and the Liquor Traffic"
 It is to be hoped that everyone hay Ing any real interest in the welfare of the Imperial Valley will back the Land Companies In their enforcement of the clause in the deeds by which tie sale or vending of intoxicating liquors as a beverage is prohibited.
 The record of the saloon, every where, is we'll known, It is the pYolif- ic mother of poverty misery, licen- tiousness, drunkenness and vices of all kinds.
 Why should any level-headed maa~ want to introduce thing which sucks the life blood not only of the morals but also the business of a community
 It takes the money of the people and gives them back three-fourths of the crimes and criminals of every place where the saloon Is firmly estab- llshed.
 If 1t is crime, as IL is, to partici- pate in theft or murder, then, 1t is equally crime to establish, or take part of the profits Lf business which everybody knows, full well, produces thieves and Nurderers to say nothing of other crimes ss----,.--./~ =.
 A community which licenses a sa- loon does so knowing what kind of ma tenal it must have to keep going It takes daily grlst of boys and girls go- ing in at the front doors of the saloon to keep up the steady flow of drunk ards and prostitutes which are the in- evitable output of its back doors.
 When community licenses a sa- loon. 1t goes into partnership with it. The license money is not paid by the saloon. It Is paid by the community. The saloon keeper takes at least $5ue> out of the place for every dollar given back by way of license, and then he turns over to the community the pau pers, buns and thugs which his busi- ness inevitably makes to be cared for at the expense of the people. To H. cense a saloon Is 10 share in its crime. As property owner in the Valley. wish to congratulate you, and say "Hit 1t again. Faithfully yours,

A STATEMENT OF FACTS
Concerning the Proposed Licensing of Saloons
 In Imperial
ouor Restrictions in the Land Titles Prevents and the Fair Name
 of the Town Forbids Such Course

conflscate the property Not long af- forwards the writer was appointed City Recorder of Imperial. In view of the absolute certainty that conflscating the property would stamp out the drink evil, the prosecution endeavored to se- cure as many pleas of guilty as possi- ble, and for this reason the fines im- posed were not made excessive. Be- ing aware of the understanding between the city attorney of Imperial and the attorney of the Imperial Land com pany, and noting that no actions for the confiscaton of property in Imperial where parties had plead guilty of sell ing liquor, had been entered we took the matter up with Mir, Pauin our selves. In reply to our inquiry, he in- formed us that Mir. Shaw, the city at- torney had not reported any of the cases of either conviction or plea of guilty to such charges, and his com pany therefore, could not institute any actions. We asked MT. Shaw con cerning this matter and found that his plan was to get as large number as possible before reporting, and that he had not yet turned in any of them.
 Further correspondence with MT, Paulin evolved a plan of action by which the people may act directly In the matter and a contract is already prepared for signature whereby the Im- perial Land company agrees that, when case of violation of the liquor clause in any of the land they have sold in the City of Imperial is reported to them, they will either begin action to recover the property within 5 days, or they will transfer their rights in the premises to H. L, Peck, w. A. Ed gar B. R. Chaplin. A. L. Hill, ], B. Bracket. ]. R. Stevenson, w. D. Con- ser, Leroy Holt, George Varney, H. A. F. Miller, F. J. Bold. F. P. Blake and F. c. Ravens, who bind them selves to at once begin action to con- fiscate the property It is further stip- ulated that in case any property is re- covered by the last named parties, 1t shall be sold, and after paying the ex- penses of the suit. the remainder shall be given to the Anti Saloon League of Southern California.
 During MT. Pauln's visit to the val ley last week, the question of closing up this contract at once, was taken up and discussed, and 1t was mutually agreed that such action just now might be misconstrued. for this reason: Two tickets are in the field in Imperial. and MT. Paulin Is very friendly to the gentlemen on both tickets, personally, and is not willing to do anything against the political chances of any of them. It is therefore necessary that he take no stand at present that will lnjure either ticket in the election. The fact that the City Improvement ticket Is said to be in favor of licensing saloons delays the closing up of this contract until after the election, THIS CON- TRACT WILL BE CLOSED IMMEDIATELY AF- | TER THE ELECTION, so no matter who Is elected trustees, the practice of vlo- lating the liquor clause in the deeds to property In Imperial will be speedily stopped.
 These facts above stated are known
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1906-03-31

As the public mind is more or less agltated concerning the subject of H. quor selling in this valley we again take Up the matter and shall treat 1t in the light of recent events, with refer ence especially to the campaign for the election of city officers now in progress in Imperial. In our issue of March l7th we pointed out the status of the liquor traffic in this valley, setting forth in extenso the reversonary clause In the deeds to the property in all the towns, and giving brief of the decis- ion of the Supreme Court of the Unit ed States upholdlng the legality and binding effect of such a clause. In our article we laid particular stress on the force and effect of the clause in the deeds confiscating the property to the original owners, whenever liquor is sold for a beverage on the premises, and insisted that the people of lmper- ial have no power over the matter. No board of trustees can license the sale of liquor on any of the property in that town, either now belonging to the lm- perial Land company, or that has been sold by 1t. This being the case, no vote the people might cast or action they might take canss ontrol the matter. The rights of the Imperial Land com pany in the property are absolute. This clear exposition of the subject, however, is not satisfactory to Brother Parazette of the Imperial Standard, and in his issue of March 23rd he voices his objections.
 We, have read his editorial carefully and we are struck with three things in it that he does not do, First, show the right of the people of Imperial or any board of trustees they might elect, to license saloons. Second show that the reversionary stipulatlons in the deeds 10 all the Imperial lots are illegal and of no force or effect and Third, show that the Imperial Land company will ignore its rights and countenance the violation of its obligations by per mlttng the sale of liquor on any land to which they have reversionary rights. The Standard having failed to discuss the phases of the subject which are of most moment to the people of imperial at the present time, we are perforce, compelled to disclose some facts of public interest along those lines by way of addenda to what we have published heretofore.
 The course of the Standard in lg- noring these matters is misleading, and doubtless Is intended 10 be. The i'm presslon Is sought to be conveyed that the Imperial Land company will be controlled by public opinion, and that If the license ticket Is successful the li- quor clauses In the deeds will be ig- nored. and saloon permitted to run In Imperial Right in this connection. a little recent history will be to the point. The question of confiscatlng the prop erty on which liquor had been sold was taken up with MT. Paulln of the lmper- ial Land company last summer, and It was agreed that the city prosecute un- der the prohibition ordinance, and upon conviction, report the matter to the lm- perIal Land company, upon which they would at once Institute proceedings to

azette try to delude his readers into
 the belief that liquor selling can be le- galized or licensed In his cityp He
 states that The town will vote on the
 question of license or no license at the
 coming election" A careful examl-
 nation of the election ordinance pub
 lished in the same issue of the Stand
 ard fails to disclose any provision for
 such vote. This ordinance should
 have contained 1t if Brother Parazette's s
 statement were true. It Is therefore
 evident that the question of license or
 no license Is not to be submitted to the voters, and that if so submitted 1t would be without force or effect. It follows, then, that the City Improve
 ment ticket stands for something it cannot carry out and Brother Para zette Is dealing in "gold bricks" The only thing the pro booze people could do in case of their success at the polls would be to discourage the blind pig prosecutions, and encourage vio- lations of the liquor restrictions, and this we do not believe they wish to do. The only other hope. Brother Parazette can hold out to his people is that MT. Paulin and the Imperial Land com pahy will repudiate their principles and throw over their reversionary rights, in case it can be made to appear that a majority of the people of Imperial de- sire them to do so. In this the Broth CT is evidently building on false hope for MT. Paulin is strongly committed to anti saloon principles. He not only put the reversonary clauses into the land titles at Brawley as the Standard states, but ata critical time his voice and influence forced their retention in the Imperial deeds. He is a large con- tributor to the support of the Southern California Anti Saloon League. and consistent temperance man. There is no doubt whatever of his loyalty to the liquor restrictions in the land deeds of all the Imperial Land company towns. Nor is there a shadow of doubt but that he stands ready to help the people of those towns to keep them clean. The fact that the Land company has not yet enforced its rights, is largely accounted for by such conditions as have obtained in Importation the past six or eight months, where they have been waiting on the report Of the city attor- ney.
 So much for the situation in Imper- Ial and the Imperial Land company toward liquor.selling and their rights. Now concerning the question of liquor license or prohl- bition we will assume that no one fa- vors saloon unless he wants to legal
 ze liquor selling This cannot be done in this Valley for the reason that at the last election every precinct in the Valley voted against 1t.
 The saloon therefore, is an outlaw and the liquor seller is criminal ev- srywhere in this Valley. The Stand ard calls attention to violations of the aw and argues therefrom that the way
 o prevent violations Is to repeal the aw That is exactly what anarchists want to do with all law. The Standard luotes the statement that someone sometime saw wagon load of beer ,eing hauled toward Riverside and ar ,ues therefrom that prohibition is a allure in that city, We lived in Riv- ,rSide for ten years before cominc to
