Bank Election

The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Valley State Bank was held at Fl Centro on Wednesday, and the report on business submitted showed more progress and even a more satis- factory condition than was ex- pected. The election resulted ih the choice of the following officers and directors: President, Geo. A. Carter; Vice President, G. A. Lathrop, president of the American National Bank of Pomona; Cashier, True Vencill; Directors: w. F. Holt, Ira Aten, Jess McGuier, I. A. Morgan, B. E. Forester, R. s. Clark, and the officers above named.

pervisors has authorized the sher- if to work prisoners in chain gangs under guards, to cease supplying tobacco and to furnish only two meals a day.
 More than that the settlers in this part of the country have no patience with Weary Willies and providers of the roads, but they have shotguns and the will to use them where they will do the most good, and any skulker caught where he has no business to be, any hobo who attempts to intim- idate women at back doors is go- ing to be ventilated so thorough ly with shot-holes that his skin won't be worth tanning for shoe strings.
 This valley is not on any route to any place where idle men seek work and it is off the line of tramp travel. It is a sure thing that hoboes who leave the main line and invade this region are seeking only opportunity to plund- CT and make nuisances of them- selves, and Sheriff Meadows has instructions to take effective measures to abate the nuisance. Marauders in Imperial county who escape the bucolic shot gun will suffer the worse fate of be- ing compelled to earn plain grub in the sweat of their brows.

HELP FOR THE WEST SIDE

In responding promptly to the call of the California Develop ment company for aid in keep ing up construction work on the canals required to restore water service to districts 6 and 8, west of New River, the water com panies of the valley not only act ed the part of good neighbors, but safeguarded the interests of Imperial County generally. It would have been a serious set back to the valley had the land west of New River been deprived of water for another year, for no amount of explaining would have satisfied outsiders that the condi- tions were remediable or that a similar deprivation did not men, ace other districts.
 The inability of the California Development company to fulfill it's obligations was due to the fi- nancial tie-up in New York and it was the only serious direct ef- feet of the prosperity panic" felt in Imperial Valley. It threat ened to cause great hardship to settlers across the river, and dam age to them would have reacted upon every interest every, land owner and business man in the county.
 Right feeling and self interest require that stockholders give the companies quick and effect i've support in their measures for the relief of the West Side, and the way to do that is to pay in assessments at once instead of waiting until the last day of grace.

ONE ASPECT OF THE MESSAGE

There are several suggestions in the Presidents message which indicate that MT. Roosevelt has taken notice of some of the re- markable experiments in ration al government conducted by the people of New Zealand and has been impressed by the success of that remote island colony in solv- ing problems that are still per picking the statesmen and the people of this country. It is a fact that the President has been for some time keenly interested in the work of that social and po- litical experiment station main tained in the South Pacific by men of the same breed that es- tablished the American Republic, and it is becoming evident that his study of New Zealand achieve ments has influenced his thought on some of the questions con- fronting this country.
 In some ways there is a resem- blance of character between Roosevelt and the late Premier of New Zealand, Richard Seddon, whose indomitable force and ear nestness, combined with unusual political tact and shrewdness, ac- complished the remarkable re- forms which have made New Zealand the most prosperous and best governed country in the world. Premier Seddon was the strongest, biggest figure in the Southern hemisphere and he was hated and feared by the same class that looks upon Roosevelt with half-cowed malignancy-t the predatory financiers and exploit CTS of special privilege.

ON THE REBOUND


 It is to be hoped that Mr. liar riman's buoyant belief that busi- ness conditions will soon be nor nal will induce him to order re- sumption of work on the projects in which the Southern Pacific is interested in this part of the State. In an interview in New York this week MT. Hartman said:
 We are in the rebound from the depression and we are in it to stay. There will be no falling back, each step that we are talk ing is firm. Underneath the whole situation there is an indus trial stability. There is too much work to be done and too great capacity for doing it to allow a long-drawn-out depression.
 "The great stability of our in- dustrial fabric is our commercial asset. On it we are extending our credit, as we must to carry on the great business of the coun- try. The overstrain on cash is being relieved and credit is once more being allowed to perform it's normal work. That is why 1 know we are on the rebound to a healthy and sound prosperity"
 The fall in prices of building materials in Los Angeles within the last few weeks is a matter of interest to the settlers of Imperi- al Valley, and benefit should ac- crue to the towns in which con- struction work has been delayed by the disturbance of business conditions. Lumber, bricks and other material are one third low CT in price now than a few weeks ago and there is a large supply of lumber in the Southern Cali fornia market. Freight charges from Los Angeles to Imperial Valley points, however, remain too high and make the cost of building greater than it should be. A reduction of rates would stimulate business of all sorts.
 Possibly John D. Archbold and other Standard Oil pirates really believe, as they say they do, that their loot is "the reward of hon. est toll, devotion to duty and honest purpose, but if they do, their moral sense is hopelessly atrophied. Capt. Kidd made the same plea.
 A new primary school for adults is needed in Imperial in order that the editor of the Standard | may learn to read words of more than two syllables. Probably he could be taught to read, but it is too much to expect that he could be taught to think.

 long-tolerated abuse of the power of wealth, and he won because he was right and the people knew he was not only right but sincere. He had a very high op- inion of Roosevelt, and the Pres ident recognized the greatness of Seddon and his work.
 Two years ago, shortly before his death, Premier Seddon was asked by the writer what he thought would be an effective measure in restraint of the trust evil in this country and he re- piled unhesitatingly that the first thing to be done was to restore the imprisonment penalty and send some of the piratical cap tains of industry" to jail. MT. Roosevelt now urges the import ance of punishing the individual wrong doer instead of eXacting money penalty from the stock holders of corporations. New Zealand is so far in advance of us in such matters that she has no trusts and no conditions fav- orable to their establishment. She solved long ago the problem that we are fighting over.
 New Zealand has no destruct- i've conflicts between labor and capital, no strikes, no lockouts, no boycotts. All disputes over industrial matters are settled ju- dicially by a Court of Arbitration. MT. Roosevelt knows what so- called compulsory arbitration" has done for New Zealand, and no doubt he would like to see the remedy applied here, but he re- alizes that the approach to such a system must be by short stages and he does not invite defeat by urging too rapid progress. He advises as yet only compulsory investigation" of serious labor disturbances, relying upon in- structed and intelligent public opinion to compel submission to arbitration as in the anthracite coal strike.
 New Zealand has a system of graduated land and in- come taxation which goes fars toward discouraging mo- and equalizing the bur- den of taxes. The beneficial op- eration of the system was demon strated long ago, yet the Presl- dent of the United States ven lures no further than to hope that some way may be found to pass an income tax law that the Supreme Court won't kill.
 New Zealand in common with every other civilized nation eX- cept the United States has the postal savings bank and finds it of vast benefit to the people. President Roosevelt is obliged to give Congress elementary infor- nation on postal savings banks as a basis for his argument in fa- vor of their establishment in this progressive country.
 It is curious thing that the nation believing itself to be the most progressive, independent and enlightened and to have the best government ever devised should be following tentatively, !

The great backstop came on from
Kansas City for a special interview
with. President Charles w. Murphy.
He had hopes that his demand for
more money this season would be met.
The conference was a long, one and
when it was over Killing came from
the meeting with the declaration that
it was all off SO far as he and the Cubs
were concerned. Murphy had not seen
fit to meet his terms and there was no
prospect of a renewal of the negotia-

The following year the Antwerp
Museum was robbed of a portrait by
Franz Halls, valued at 10000, while a
few years back the Cincinnati Insti-
tuition and the st. Louis museum were
visited by picture stealers, who made
off with several figure subjects by
Meyer Won Bremen, which were cut
from their frames.
Holbein's THE Field of the Cloth of
Gold" on view at Hampton Court
Palace, bears witness to this day of a
theft that may be termed patriotic
After the downfall of Charles I, Crom-
well, to raise funds, purposed the sale
of certain pictures, this among the
number. The bargain was already
made, but when the would-be pur-
chaser, came to inspect Holbein's mas
terpiece he discovered that the head
of Henry VIII had been cut from the
Ecanvas.c
He naturally cried off, and the pic
ture was preserved to the nation. On
the Restoration a nobleman, who
confessed to having committed the
theft for love of art and country, re-
turned the missing head, which now
occupies its original position in the
canvas, the circle made by the knit
being still plainly visible.

were received. from time to time, but
no final settlement was arrived at I'M

thieves were captured by the police

picture was in it's place; on the morn

frame met his bewildered eyes.
The theft was wrapped in mystery
and the whereabouts OF the picture re-

more than twenty years. The canvas,
however, was ultimately recovered in
1901, through information given by
