GETTING READY FOR THE DRY
' TIME.

This ccnnty has not yet gone dry
but the Eastern whiskey manufac-
turers are getting ready to take
care of the people.
The Hayner Distilling Co., of Day
ton, Ohia. offers to send us upon
trial ,sampllng and approval OF the

How many men. In this county

II we were a drinking man and
had any rise for whiskey we would

NOToRIETIsTs SCORED
BY ARCHBISHOP

Archbishop Glennon of st. Louis
severely scored philanthropists who
donate libraries and people who lee
ture on the child problem or en-
gage in social settlement work
merely for the purpose of securing
notoricty." In his address here he
said: There are today philanthrop-
ists-so-callod-wh believe that by
giving the people libraries, that they
might study out present-day phil
osophy; they are accomplishing
great good" said Archbishop Glen
non. "And there are others who
spend their time In social settlement
work or lecturing on the child
problem. Constantly they seek no
toriety. Let them go on giving
away their libraries and establishing
their social settlements, but l want
you to understand that philanthropy
divorced from Christ is not charity.
The philosophy taught in your
schools and universities today Is
just as brutal as It is repugnant.
This philosophy of evolution, em-
anating from the brain of Darwin
and Spencer, makes for brutality
and rotards progress. What is the
use OF struggling II there is nothing
to be attained? Where Is there an
appearance OF charity in this sys-
tenn? The strong succeed and the
weak perish. Now what do You
think OF your university professors
who urge this theory upon an un-
sophicated people? And yet there
are in this. city 1000 people. known
to you, whose hands and hearts and
lives are consecrated to God and to
charity, These nuns move along as
a great silent force, and where In
their lives do you find the law of ev-
o'ution-a struggle for self? II
that theory be the law of life. then
these women are the worlds saddest
failures. Their struggle Is not for
themselves but for the lives of 9TH
ers. The Sisters of the Good Shep-
herd are particularly worthy of men
tlon, for their lives are devoted to
the uplifting OF the woman who has
fallen into sin Archbishop Glennon
sees dread times ahead for our
country, when the true merits of So
called philanthropy viii be tried in
the balance of necessity, He assert
ed: 1T is a recognized fact that we
fast approach a social crisis, with
our millionaire on one hand and the
pauper on the other. When that
day comes the philanthropist, sitting
in his upholstered chair. will not
arise TO the occasion. He Will be
told that II is not a lecture that
is wanted but that 1t Is bread"

ENFORCE THE NEW LAW
NATIONALLY.

The Mayor and license committee
of the city council should not de-
mand an unreasonable enforcement
of the new saloon license ordinance.
That Is one of the best regulation
ordinances EVER DRAWN UP IN
ANY CITY IN THE UNITED
STATES.
But MANY OF the buildings in
which ~aloons are situated were built
long EGO when no such provisions
were required
The 'en-foot space of clear glass
in tho front Is imDracticable WITH
MOST OF THE SALOON BUILDINGS
IN SALEM.
The saloons would have to move,
and the buildings would be vacant
as many of them are unfit for any
thing else.
So far as we can learn the saloon
men are trying TO LIVE UP TO
THE NEW ORDINANCE IN A
PROPER SPIRIT.
They allow no minors, no women,
no gambling. and II the cigar stores
and drug stores do as we'll this will
be very orderly town..

VALLEY PRODUCTS WANTED.

A highly creditable display of I'm perial Valley products is being made in the Los Angeles Chamber of Com merce, in the space allotted to Imper- ial county; but it is necessary that these products be constantly renewed, and it is desired that the exhibit be increased. Articles tended for this ex- hibit can be left at the Press Office, where the secretary of the local Cham Der of Commerce will attend to their being sent to Los Angeles. Every val ley rancher should feel that the main tainance of an excellent exhibit at Los Angeles is furthering his own in terests, and it is hoped that the choi- cest products will be brought in for this display.

that it is an actual rival and equal of the valley of the Nile. Eight years ago Imperial Valley was a desert, for bidding and desolate. Today it has almost as many acres under irrigation as the entire irrigated portion of Southern California contained at that time. The silt deposit of the Colorado river has been plastered over the Imperial Valley during the last ten thousand years to a depth of for ty to four hundred feet. This great river is sending a portion of it's nigh ty current through Imperial Valley to- day carrying life to the rich soil, and producing fabulous wealth almost ov- ernight. So level is the land, with a little leveling of hummocks, that the life-giving rivers run in absolutely straight lines along every roadside, and so plentiful is the water that not only are the fields flooded, but the roads are divided into two parts and each side is flooded alternately, thus furnishing hard, dustless roads, Highland Park Herald.

BERKELEY EDITOR SURPRISED
Expected to Find WoIfviIle and Red
 Dog in Imperial Valley.
Berkeley Gazette.)


 As the invited guest of the Southern California Editorial Association we visited the great Imperial valley last week and to say that we were sur found a great stretch of the desert had been converted into a fertile valley peopled with happy, prosperous and healthy men, women and children.
 The big corn, the luscious melons, the sweet oranges the fat hogs, the sleek cattle, the big horses, the great fields of alfalfa all challenged our ad- miration and surprise, but this was nothing to our surprise at the high class of citizenship.
 Having visited desert towns and mining towns and pioneer towns we knew the conditions generally prevail ing in such communities. Hence what ship of the Imperial Valley equal to that of Berkeley and the school at tended by happy, healthy children.
 Where We had expected find rough ness and if you please a little law lessness. we were surprised to find the best of citizens-men and women of education, culture and refinement This is the rule in the Imperial Val ley and not the exception.
 The fact which shows the moral fiber and strength of character of the people ofthis wonderful valley is that they have refused to allow the saloon and its attending vices within it's bor- ders. Ten minutes walk on the streets of Brawley, Imperial, El Cen tro, Holtyille Heber or Calexico, will convince anyone of the benefits of having clean community free from the saloon and it's attending vices. Imperial county is clean in a civic sense and its people are prosperous and happy The old cry of the whis- key forces is that the saloon produ- ces prosperity. Imperial county and it's thriving towns have given the lie to this statement
