HALE HEARS NOISE;
T. r. COMING BACK
Former G. O. P. National Committee
man Predicts Insurgent Sweep

Nathan W. Hale, Republican nation
al committeeman from Tennessee and
former congressman from that state,
now a resident of Los Angeles, put his
ear to the ground on a recent visit east
and heard q low, rumbling sound. He
listened intently, and the sound grew
to voluminous roar. Arising, he
scratched his head in a knowing man
ner and interpreted the sounds.
ut appears to be Roosevelt and in
surgency, rampant, il not rlotous, in
1872" he said. The distant din is but
the marshaling of the clan"
Whereupon, Mr.. Hale transacted his
business in Nashville. bade good by to
his friends, and returned to his family
and oil business in Los Angeles, con-
graduating himself that he had retired
from politics while the oil gushing was
good.
1T is an expensive luxury, politick-
ing said the former congressman, in
his office, 625 Story building, yesterday.
1T entails much responsibility, great
labor, little glory and less substantial
reward. That's the reason I've retired
that is to say, gone into business"
But to get back to that rumbling
sound. Although Mr.. Hale has retired,
do not be deceived into believing that
he has ceased to take an interest in
politics. Far be it from any national
committeeman of the stamp of Hale to
do a thing like that. His interest in
the game is still profound. That's the
reason he put his ear to the ground to
hear the militant tramp of feet far off
when he went east recently.
THINKS T. r. WOULD WIN
"I do not regard the defeat of the Re-
publican ticket in New York as a re-
ibuke to Mr.. Roosevelt" said Mr.. Hale.
"The people OF the country are still
with the former president, and believe
if he is nominated on the Republican
ticket in 1912 he will sweep the country
insurgency is growing stronger daily
1t will not succumb to the efforts of
the reactionaries, however forcefully
they may be put forth.

ARCADIA GOES ON LIST
OF MISSING STEAMSHIPS
Vessel with Forty-0ne on Board
Thought to Be Lost

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-The name of
the steamer Arcadia of the New York
& Porto Rico Navigation company
has just been added to the New York
Maritime exchange posted catalogue of
missing ships" The entry of name
there means all hope for her has been
abandoned.
1t is supposed the Arcadia went
down in the hurricane which swept the
Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic off
the southern coast last October She
was 800 feet long, built in England in
1895 and considered able to outlive the
strongest seas and winds. Nothing has
been heard of her since she left New
Orleans, October IL, bound for San
Juan.
The Arcadia carried four passengers
and a crew of thirty-seven. Naviga-
tion officers believe all are dead.

and policies. If the Democrats should
select a progressive man and the Re-
publicans take the conservative end.
very much fear the Democrats would
be successful.
THAT is the extent, in my opinion,
of the insurgent movement. 1t has In
fected both parties. The conservattye
faction can no more control the Demo
cratic party and be successful at the
polls than can the conservative element
of the Republican party assume leader
ship and come out victorious.
"The insurgent is independent He is
neither Democrat nor Republican when
it comes to issues. He is for the man
who stands for progressive accomplish
ment."
SOUTH LIKES ROOSEVELT
Mr. Hale is an admirer of Taft and
great admirer of Roosevelt, as we'll as
being a personal friend of the latter.
The Tennesseean declares that he be-
lieves thousands of Democrats of Ten
nessee and other southern states would
vote for Roosevelt for president on the
Republican or any other ticket The
south likes Roosevelt and will be loyal
to him, he declares.
The election of Capt. B. w. Hooper
as the first Republican governor OF
Tennessee since 1880 was brought about
through the cooperation of the tnsurg-
ent Democrats, known In Tennessee as
the anti-machine faction. says Mr..
Hale.
Governor Hooper is a personal friend
of Mr.. Hale and Is a stockholder and
director in the Hale-McLeod Oil COM
pany, which was financed by Mr.. Hale
in Tennessee. The Rale-McLeod COM
pany has large oil holdings in the Mid
way field and is operating four wells.
]. M. Mcleod Of Los Angeles Ia the
other titular member of the firm.
I'VE have room for fifty gusherH on
our land" said Mr.. Hale, "and we have
a contract with the Standard Oil for
900 barrels. Any business man will
admit that this beats politicking." con-
cluded the national committeeman.

WILLOWS, Cal, Dec. 10.-With the
Sacramento river rising at a rapid
rate and the prospects for the annual
flood indicating that several weeks of
high water may be expected, residents
of the country for many miles south
ward from Jacinto are becoming
alarmed over the condition of the
banks, which threaten to break and
allow the river to cut a new channel

on either side OF the Rio Grande valley
for about a hundred miles north of Ell
Paso and for many miles to the south of
the Texas city. Only the life-giving wa
ter, now to be provided, is required to
convert this territory into a second Nile
valley. Indeed, 1t Is asserted by the
scientists who have examined the soil OF
this valley, that the land is richer than
the soil of the Egyptian valley.
Here in the valley of the Rio Grande
the second decade of the 20th century
will find the wealth which the Spanish
argonauts sought and failed to find four
centuries earlier. This is the oldest part
Of the United States under the dominion
OF white men. Marco de Mia invaded
this territory in 1889. The next year
Francisco Vasquez Coronado came here
and made this valley the base OF opera
tons for explorations of what is now
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado.
Spanish colonists learned to make use Of
this crude but extensive irrigation plants
constructed by the aborigines centuries
before, and what is now New Mexico
was the most highly civilized part OF
North America The three centuries
since the celebration of North America
by Engiish-speaking people have wrought
many changes, but now New Mexico and
the valley Of the Rio Grande are about
to come again into their own.

Have the Railroads Won?

When President Taft called the chief
men of the great railroad systems into
conference in the White House, It was
understood that the president had openly
arrayed himself with the railroad syndi-
Gates Of the United States to resist con-
gress in its attempt to regulate passen-
ger and freight rates, and 1t will be a
miracle IL the railroads are curbed in
any essensial particular.
The railroads desire to leave things
statu quo, and to retain the authority to
advance rates at their own good pleas
ure. They became alarmed at the
speeches made by senators and represent
tatives living west of the Mississippi riv-
er, and when an injunction was granted
to curb their tyranny, they ran TO the
White House to get the presidents open
support Of their claims
And President Taft knuckled down to
their demands, and his regular Republic
cans in congress were notified that 1t was
his desire to sustain the railroads as
against the interests Of producers and
shippers.
But their victory will be short-lived, be-
cause the most prominent politicians in
the west are supporting the claims of the
people as against open-handed railroad
tyranny, and the coming fall campaign
will tell the story of their brave fight
against the administration and the Aid
rich-Payne combine in congress.
These railroads are resourceful and they
are audacious. They plank down their
money to elect presidents and nominate
supreme court judges, and money talks
in modern politics. 1t has, however, low
cred President Taft in the esteem of the
nation; he has shown his cloven foot,
and followed his owners.

colonies to appear in the person of their
accredited delegates; and these delegates
did appear; and they each and severally
signed the Declaration of Independence
and the date of signature CHANGED to be
July the 4th.
Each of the states ratified the action of
their delagtes and it was this signed
agreement which kept the people of the
colonies in a close bond and unbroken
unity.
on this agreement the whole question
of civil and religious liberty rested.
Without this agreement the whole bus
mess might have disintegrated and gone
to pieces. On the succeeding Fourths the
colonies and afterwards the various
states, met together and glorified the
wisdom and courage of their forefathers.
| 1t was a day of rejoicing and 1t is the
custom of congress to this good day TO
select some good reader among their
number who shall read aloud the same
old Declaration and thus pay tribute to
the brave men who organized and carried
to success the gerat American Revolution
with its manifold blessings in civil and
religious liberty
The day has been barbarously treated
in these latter years. 1t is a day Of
rude sport and silly waste of money in
explosives in this, the Goth century of our
civilization. We should change this COM
mon and ignoble usage and get back TO
higher ideals and intelligent patriotism.
1t is the fault of the older people that
youngsters make it a day of rioting with
guns and powder. They have failed in
their duty to their country
Now, come with an humble Plea to

of our race shall move towards making
the Fourth OF July a day of rejoicing
and of thanks TO the Almighty Giver of
all good, who has given us home in

home OF the brave. Let us meet and read
the Declaration of Independence and
show to the youth of our country our
appreciation of our national and religious
blessings in America What say you?
