as a model of how corporations should
deal with city authorities. The rail-
road stated its proposition frankly, and
announced its desire for the most

in the face of many discouraging OBJ

Commissioner Bitch Will
Compel Them to Fully
Discharge Their
Duties.

Senator a Bitch, who On Tuesday
succeeded Jefferson B. Browne as d
member of the Florida Railroad Com
mission, in an interview in the Tai
lahassee Sun says:
Il expect, during my term of Office
as a railroad commissioner, to use
every power which the law confers
upon me to compel the railroad cor
porationS of the state to fully dis
charge their duties as common car
riers in furnishing to the public safe
and expeditions transportation of
freight and passengers at reasonable
rates This is but the reasonable duty
of such corporations; II is the war
rant for the great and extraordinary
powers that have been conferred upon
them by law, and unless they dis
charge such duty fully, the object of
their creation fails of accomplishment
With this principle as the guiding
star of my official life, / shall en-
deavor to stand as an unbiased arbit-
er between the public and the common
carriers, compelling the railroad COM
panies to do their duty, while at the
same time protecting both the public
and the carrier from injustice
Il think both my colleagues will be
agreed with me in this policy, and
fully expect the railroad commission.

Be as careful as you can you will oc- casionally take cold, and when you do, get a medicine of known reliability, one that has an established reputation and that is certain to effect quick cure. Such a medicine is Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. It has gained a world wide reputation by it's remark able cures of this most common ail- ment, and can always be depended upon.
 It acts on natures plan, relieves the lungs, aids expectoration, opens the se- cretions and aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. During the many years in which it has been in general use we have yet to learn of single case of cold or attack of the grip having resulted in pneu- monia when this remedy was used, which shows conclusively that it is a certain preventative of that dangerous disease. Chamberlain Cough Remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to baby as to an adult For sale by El Centro Drug Store.

A PROSPERITY PANIC

wrangling over the question of Roosevelt's responsibility for scarcity of currency than in dis cussing ways and means of call ing out hoarded cash and guard ing against repetition of a pros perity panic. It is significant that most of the men of proml- hence who blame the President for disturbing business" are in- terested directly or indirectly in the corporations whose criminal activities are the subject of the Presidents scathing denuncia- tions and of investigation by grand juries. The big merchants of the country, the real business men, hold up the hands of the President and maintain that he is doing the country a great ser vice in smoking out the rascals, who have been posing as great fnanciers and eminent men of affairs, and that nothing but good will come of the relentless prose cution of lawbreakers.
 Business has been disturbed by what the McCalls, the Ryans, the Wideners and pirates of that ilk have been doing for years, not by what MT. Roosevelt has said about their lawless methods of annexing other peoples prop erty.
 Mir. Roosevelt did not loot the big insurance companies; he was not the wrecker of New York traction companies; he had no hand on the pump that flooded Wall street with watered stocks. If the financial affairs of the country were on a sound, honest basis, no amount of vehement talk from any quarter could do serious harm. The evil exposed, not the exposure of evil, was the cause of trouble.
 Times are not hard and such business depression as exists is incidental to the difficulty of get ting cash out of the banks. Ware houses are not crowded with un- sold goods; on the contrary man. ufacturers are unable to keep up orders. Farmers are not sacrific- ing with stock and crops to pay interest on mortgages; they have money in the bank. None of the conditions precedent to real panic or period of depression ex- ists. Wall street and the New York trust companies have bun- coed the banks of the country out of their ready money and the banks are afraid to pay out the cash they have lest the people hide it away and make the situa, tiOn worse.
 More money than is circulating now is required to do the busi, ness of the country in a time o1 great prosperity, when new en- terprises are being started and re quire a great deal of cash, and i devolves upon the President anC his advisers to suggest and Con gress to adopt speedily an effect i've remedy for the difficulty.
 San Diego is still inconsolablt because of the growth of Lo' Anqeles. and her neWspapers
Imperial Valley press., 1907-11-30

':gobbled up by the larger city. The San Diego weeklies are now that San Diego and Inn perial counties be annexed to Arizona, and their main reason for advocating the scheme is that it would put a state boundary line between their city and Los Angeles. The two cities would be no further apart and Los An geles would keep on growing, but San Diego is so envious of her big sister that she cant en- dure being in the same state with her. The "city of grief has eX- hibited her sore toe so persistent ly that the sight wearies rather than excites sympathy.
 A curious sidelight on the great change that has been wrought by immigration in the character of New York's population is the or der of the Board of Education that no hymn or carol mention ing Christ or Christmas shall be sung in the public schools. The school song books are being re- vised along that line in response to a demand made by the Jews, who dominate New York com mercially and are powerful in politics, and whose signs along Broadway read like a Rhine wine list. Imagine any other Ameri- can city repudiating Christ and Santa Claus to curry favor with the old clothes men.
 Alameda, San Mateo, Marin and Contra Costa county dele gates have declared in favor of creating Greater San Francisco by annexing all the bay territory to the city. Whether they like the sort of government San Fran cisco has or think they can make it decent, does not appear, but to outsiders it looks as if San Francisco's need were for a bet ter rather than a larger citizen ship.
 It is more or less interesting to know that the Imperial Standard has ascertained that efforts to or ganize the voters of Imperial Valley on party lines are not meeting with hearty encourage ment. A call for that purpose was issued few weeks ago, but
 
 it awakened no echoes. Even the Standard appears to have forgotten who signed the call.
 Ex-Secretary Shaw wants to be a candidate for president. His platform is that Roosevelt caused the financial furry by his con- stant talking about control of corporations. Roosevelt may talk more than Shaw does, but he does not talk so much clotted nonsense. Shaw is small pota- toes and few in the hill.
