COUNTY COMMITTEE
 CLEARS FOR ACTION
REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION AP. POINTS CONVENTION DELE
 GATES.
New Members to be Selected in the River Districts -- Energetic Cam paign to be Made for Taft and sher- man in the Fall.

The Republican County Central Committee met Monday afternoon in the courthouse in El Centro, sixteen members being present.
 Shenk of Calexico and Mansfield of Brawley were appointed delegates to the State convention August 27 and Bowker of Calexico and Wood of Brawley were appointed delegates to the Congressional convention August 20.
 D. McPherrin of Imperial rendered their resignations as members of the committee, giving as their reason that they were candidates for the po- sition of Judge of the Superior Court and did not wish to appear to embar- rass the committee by continuing as a part of it. MT. Eshleman, who has been chairman of the committee since it's organization, was given vote of thanks for his services. R. Malan, of Brawley, was elected chairman in place of MT. Eshleman.
 The matter of representation from the River districts was brought up and a committee appointed to investi- gate and recommend for appointment such men as they find to be represen- tative Republicans from that section The committee is composed of Fred ericks of Brawley, Shenk of CaleXico and Boyd of Holtville. As stated iD the Press last winter the men who ap- pear to represent the River districts on the committee are not representa- tive men. At least one of them does not live in the county at all. Just what the new deal will be cannot b. told until the committeeman are ap- pointed, but the action taken Monday was long step toward improving the committee.
 It was voted to take steps at once to do everything possible to bring out the largest possible vote for Taft and and it was voted that a committee of twelve be appointed to act as cam paign committee and in conjunction with the executive committee of the Central body. The names of the com mitteemen will be announced later and every loyal Republican is urged to cooperate with them in support of the National ticket.
 A committee of seven was appointed to meet Congressman Smith at Impe- perial on July 4.
 Before adjournment Arthur Edgar. of Imperial and c. F. Hayden of El Centro were elected to fill the va cancies on the committee.

The Way One Prosperous Merchant
Got His Start In Business.

There Is a prosperous merchant In
Chicago today who owes his success to
his donation of $1,000 organ to
church at time when he didn't have
money enough to buy hand organ.
This donation was case of bluf pure
and simple, but the buff worked and
resulted in the subsequent wealth Of
the lucky buffer.
John Smith was seeking capital to
start iu business for himself, but as he
had no security worth speaking OF he
could not borrow the money he needed.
When he had tried every person he
could think of who would be likely to
have the necessary cash and the lncli-
nation to lend 1t and had been turned
down, he conceived the idea Of present
Ing his church with an organ.
Young Napoleon John Smith there
fore ordered his organ and allowed the
future to look out for itself. The man
ufacturers of the organ never thought
of questioning the financial standing
of the phlIanthroplst who was handing
out $1,000 organs and agreed to have
the instrument set up in the church on
time.
OF course J. Smith was not bud
that was born TO blush unseen, nor did
he hide his benefcence under bushel.
He managed to bring in at least the
flute stops no matter what the subject
of conversation. Not only did the
young Napoleon advertise himself by
means OF the church organ, but the
pleased minister and the equally pleas
ed congregation spread the news Of his
gift.
During this time John did not allow
any alfalfa to grow under his feet. On
the pretense of consulting some
wealthy member Of the congregation
about some minor details of the organ
he would drop into an Office and be-
fore he left casually would mention the
subject of the company that he was
forming. Most Of the men that he thus
saw thought that 1t would he good
thing to be associated with man who
was making so much money that he
was able to hand out $1,000 without
missing it. so that all were anxious to
take stock in j. Smiths company.
Long before the time came for the
first payment on the organ Smith had
gathered enough money to start his
business and was doing so well he had
no difficulty in borrowing the amount
| needed to make the payment. From
that time he has made money SO fast
that now he could give away several
$4,000 organs and pay for them as
well.-Chicago Tribune.

JUDICIAL VIEW

have never noticed any signs OF
an undue or overtender consideration
for the action OF the court on the part
of gentlemen who have urged anti
injunction Legislation, and feel con-
iident that if they knew OF facts that
would justify charge OF an impeaeh-
able crime, they would not hesitate
for an instant to make il,
In this connection il ought not to
be improper to allow the highest
court in the land to express its judg-
ment upon the conduct OF the inferior
Federal judges with reference to the
granting of injunctions, In the case
OF Ex parte Young, decided by the
Supreme Court of the United States
on March 23,l90S, in answering the
suggestion that il the Supreme Court
upheld the action OF the Circuit Court
in that case it would draw to the
lower court a great flood OF ltiga-
ton, where one Federal judge would
have it in his power to enioin and null
lify the Legislative acts OF the state,
either in criminal Or civil actions, the
court said;
"To this it may be answered in the
first place that no Injunction ought
to be granted except in case reason
ably free from doubt, We think such
rule is and will be followed by all the
judges OF the Federal courts"
Ii there have been any gross abuses
of judicial power in this respect by
the Federal judges, it is quite obvious
that the Supreme Court OF the Unit
ed States has not up to date learned
thereof. Honorable Charles +. Lit

THE TARIFF

Our Government does not guaran-
tee profits to other classes 1t does
not insure farmers crops, nor guar
antee printable wages to labor, nor
good salaries to clerks.
Our Government once guaranteed
Union Pacific bonds-but it held the
road as security, and sold it out at
last to reimburse itself The Gov
ernment did not guarantee reason
able profits" to American railway in
yestors in that case, but in its tariff
plank we find the dominant party
solemnly pledging itself to guarantee
solvency and a good earning return
to the stockholders and investors in
trusts. Freed of all circumlocution
it really means Trust Making by Gov
ernment enactment!
This principle, if made effective in
the next tariff will divide manufact-
urers into three classes about as fol-
lows:
First.-Those who are on a sharp
competition basis. These manufact-
urers receive nothing from the tariff
closely joined in what is popularity
called "gentleinen's agreements
These industries occupy position
about half way between those men
toned in class one and the fully de.
veloped trusts. This second class is
strengthened by the proper guarantee
of profits
Third.-The full-hedged trusts and
consultations, of which there are be.
tween 200and 300, in control Of most
Of the great necessities and conven.
fences Of life
Under the proposed tariff which is
to cover, and in that sense, to guar
ante eprofts, these trusts are inform
ed htat they will be protected by tht
Government against foreign competi
tion up to the point Of a good prof.
on all they can reasonably" claim, OF
by manipulation secure as by the ole
methods.
If the new tariff, promised by Con
gress and the political parties, is t.
be enacted sixty days after the inau
guration-say May 4, l9Oo-trust
can, it must be assumed, print no
only on their bonds but also on pre-
ferred and common stocks this extra
ordinary and un-American clause

THE COURTS


Under the circumstances ! do not
hesitate to say that the committee
cannot itself perceive that there have
been instances OF abuse in the grant
ing Of iniuctions.' | submit with
entire confidence that il seems to me
that when we have called upon the
attorney for the American Federation
OF Labor for instances and specihca-
tions and he fails to furnish them;
when we have called upon the head
OF the organization itself for the same
information and he furnishes informa-
ton without calling attention to any
criticism: when we have made thor
ough and exhaustive investigation OF
the reported decisions OF the courts
when we have applied 10 the Depart
ment Of Justice and ascertained that
they have no information in relation
thereto; when the gentleman from
Michigan has made his independent
and disinterested search and found
nothing; when the Supreme Court,
though not referring specifically to
labor controversies, says that the
judges have exercised due care; and
when there has never been from any
quarter, prior to the letter OF the
President, the slightest intimation
upon the part OF men representing the
labor organizations that any abuse
of the writ OF injunction amounting
to a high crime and misdemeanor
has ever been committed-and | think
it is hardly necessary to suggest that
the gentlemen who appeared before
our committee for the promotion OF
legislation Of that character have
never been backward in their assaults
upon the judiciary, it appears that we
least exhausted every available
source OF inquiry. ! feel certain that
the President has been deliberately
as to the facts as they
exist in connection with this question,
because, in my judgment, there are
no facts that warrant the suggestion
or the intimation, at least since 1898,
that single Judge, anywhere, at any
time, in any place, under any stress,
has been guilty of any abuse Of the
judicial power in issuing either tenn
porary restraining order or prelim-
mary injunction.
In considering a question OF this
character it must be borne distinctly
in mind that so long as juries render
verdicts and so long as judges enter
up judgments, disappointed litigants
and exasperated attorneys will abuse
the jury and denounce the court, and
the proceedings of the court in the
administration of the equity power
cannot and will not be immune from
this prevailing tendency upon the
part of the losing suitor to criticise
the tribunal in which he receives an
determination. American

LOUIS|ANA'S NEW
 LAW ON RACING Winter Racing In New Orleans
 Has Been Stopped PROHIBITION DEAD ISSUE State Referendum Prohibition Bill Is Last One of Those Measures To
 Be Knocked Out-High
 License Bill Passed.

Baton Rouge. La, June 25.-Thirty days from today the Locke anti-racing bill will go into effect in Louisiana. Governor Sanders has attached his signature to the bill as he practically promised he would do in his inaugural address. Several tracks are now operating in Louisiana and the effect of the law is awaited with much interest.
 by the racing law are two half-mile courses at New Orleans, and the state fair races, at Shreveport, all of which hold summer or early fall meetings. The advocates of the anti-gambling law con- tended that the state fair races would not be affected, while the opponents of the law claimed that the New Orleans half-mile tracks would continue to run. No definite decisions as to the future &C., tions of any of these tracks has yet been announced Neither has there been any announcement about the action of the regular mile tracks upon which the winter races are held, but all reports since the passage of the Locke bill have been to the effect that these tracks prob ably will remain closed next winter
 By vote of 20 to IA the senate to- day defeated the state referendum pro- hibition bill. This will probably end the fight for prohibition in Louisiana at this session of the legislature. A similar

ODD WEDDING sUPERsTITIoNs.
Ancient Prejudces That Are Still
 Strong Among Modern Girls.

l From the New York World.
 1 Superstition is far from dead in the case | of modern girls about to be married, men
 as a rule caring little as regards day or month. There are still to be found, for example, maids who decline to listen to 1 the readin oftheir banns, fearing as the 1 old superstition had it. that the children l born of the marriage would be deaf and l, dumb
 | The loss of an engagement ring is con- | sidered by many to be the climax of i'll | luck and equivalent to a supernatural l sign from above, forbidding the girl to
 marry the man who gave her the ring. Many women are to be found who will on no account remove either their en- 1 gagement or their wedding rings, the | former pretending the death of either of | the engaged people, the latter the death 1 of the husband.
 | In certain country districts of the South American States marriagea be girls to the | number of 13 frequently agree to meet ev- ] cry month in a room and pull from each others tresses as many hairs as the de- spoiled one has lived years, this being according to superstition, an infalible remedy for encouraging backward young men to propose The custom is not un- known among girls of the Latin races of going to the neighboring cemetery in tho dead of night in quest of stone which, when found and placed under the pillow, is sure to have the effect of bringing about a desired marriage
 There has for long existed a vague mo- tion that the breaking of a glass or porce- lain vessel at marriage is certain to rem der the union of young pair happy. It is supposed to have the effect of warding off its dissolution by divorce. A custom has long prevailed in Jewish families of breaking the glasses from which the bride and bridegroom drink at their wedding and then crushing the frax- ments under foot. Among the Bohemians the custom prevails of breaking water pitcher when the wedding breakfast is eaten. The number of years of happy married life will, according to the notion.
 correspond with the number of frag-
 uents picked up.
