GOING TO PIECES.
Congressman Reeder's Opinion of 1.-THE
Progressive Movement"

Washington Dec. 11.-As Representa-
tive William A. Reeder Of the Sixth
Kansas district sizes up the political
situation in that state the progressive
forces there are going to pieces. Mr..
Reeder was among the presidents cali
ers today. AS he left the White House
he said that he had called on Mr.. Taft
merely to pay his respects. When
asked about the political conditions in
Kansas he said:
1.-The situation there is still badly
mixed. but I have no doubt that when
the sheep have been sifted from the
goats the followers of Taft and protec-
ton will win. We had a strong con-
tingent of insurgents in Kansas who
followed LaFol1ette. They. were sincere
in doing this but they cid not know

Later, when Mrs Duncan reached

San Francisco.-James N. Thompson,
of the Thompson Bridge company, is
thought to be on his deathbed with a
bullet wound inflicted by one of two
robbers who entered his office Saturday
to seize bag containing $4,000, which
he had just drawn from the bank.
Francis German, one of the assail-
ants, is under arrest and search is
being made for his companion, who has
the coin. German was captured after
a running fight with posse of citizens.
Upon returning to his office from the
bank, Thompson was shot without warn
ing.
One bullet struck him in the breast
and passed through his right lung; one
lodged in his right forearm and three
passed through his coat.
AS he staggered back against the door
the thugs seized the bag of money from
his hand and ran into the street. Barely
able to keep his feet, Thompson drew
his own revolver and fred at the fleeing
men, using his left hand, his disabled
right hand hanging Imply at his side

TIA JUANA

A T Tia Juana, just-across- the-line,
VI there is fourishing a settlement
IA at which Monte Carlo is outdone.
The detectives who We're hunting Nick
Oswald can talk of nothing but Tia
Juana In all their young and inno-
cent lives they had never even mag
ined anything to compare in wicked
ness with this cheerful headquarters
Of vice, just across the line.
At Tia Juana vice is not secretly
protected but openly encouraged. The
worst man is the best man. The big
gest winner at a crooked gambling
game is the biggest hero. Everything
that should be discouraged is encour-
aged. Society is upside down.
Tia Juana is not without it's uses
in the social economy of our hemi-
sphere. 1t fulflls somewhat the same
purpose that Monaco filled in Europe;
but is said to be SO much viler than
Monaco that the European and the
American headquarters of vice cannot
be mentioned in the same breath. Tia
Juana is useful because it shows what
unrestrained vice will accomplish in a
community. Eternal vigilance is the
price of cleanliness, honor, honesty and
good government in a city, and Los
Angeles is to be congratulated heartily
on the fact that the official situation
here was not allowed to go from bad
to worse.
