is not a question that was not known
question before last March 4.
Unlike any previous president, Taft
has not been called upon to mark a
course along uncharted ways. He was
asked only to pursue and complete, not
to initiate. The work was cut out for
him. The mandate of the nation was
clear and positive. He was simply to
perfect definite policies by those legal
methods with which he was supposed to
be more familiar than any other public
man.
The condition of affairs in congress
and the doubt and unrest of the peo-
pie are the best answers of how the
work has or has not been done so far
But Mr.. Taft has been in office only
year. And the American people are
not unfair enough to refuse, even to a
man they like immeasurably less than
Taft, "show for his white alley" and
time to make his shot. To what, then
can we attribute that overwhelming
vote for Roosevelt and the fact that

Council was called to order at 8 p,

The credentials of A. L. Haynes,
Chas. Rose and Fred Lee, of the
Teamsters' lnisp, were accepted and
delegates obligated and seated.
A letter from the officials of the Reid
faction to the local electrical workers
union was read to the council Accord
ing to this communication the MeNulty
faction have repudiated the compact
made at the Toronto convention and re-
fuse to arbitrate. The following ex-
cerpt from the letter tells how Nc
Nulty and his associates violated the
promises they made to the delegates at
the last A. F. of L. convention:
"They utterly refused to come into
convention, or provide the arbitratorf
with the necessary motion made by five
unions before March slst, that would
initiate vote on the question as pro
vided in our first plan presented to th'
committee on tn morning of March 10th

to certain "loss of confidence in the
administration thought to be indicated
by the tone of the press" With equal
frankness, let us say that we never
dreamed that the loss of confidence,
against which we have fought so hard,
was shared nation wide until we studied
the Tribune poll. And we cannot help
but believe that our surprise at the
magnitude of the warning has been
shared even by the patriotic students
and exponents of the great middle west
and southwest and far west, such as
Mr. Nelson of the Kansas City Star,
Mr. Jackson of the Portland Journal,
Mr. Knott of the Louisville Post, Mr..
Older of the San Francisco Bulletin
and score of others, closer in touch
than we can hope to be with the spirit
of indomitable Americanism which
flourishes bept beyond the westward
mountain boundaries of these, our old
est states.

schools, churches and libraries, will be
some of the things to attain which this
fund will be used.
1t is stated this morning that such
trust has been under plan of formula
tion by the captains of finance for some
time as fitting climax to the most
splendid era of financial organization
the world has ever known. 1t is true
that the millions of people who have
seen the workings of modern capitalism
and felt the heel of the juggernaut of
golden lust, win be slow to believe that
the new trust Is really meant to lift
the burdens of nation, but the mag
mates expect to prove in quick order
their sincerity.
Following close upon the heels of this
extraordinary announcement, came sim
liar announcements of better era in
government affairs. As religious fervor
leaps from soul to soul in real old

AMUSING
THE PEOPLE
Lots of Red Fire But Few
Trust Magnates are Be-
ing Sent to Jail

Indicting trust magnates is rapidly
becoming one of the great national in
door sports in America. 1t is as harm
less as ping-pong, as exciting as cro-
quet and as expensive as polo, while it
is almost as interesting to the specta-
tors as baseball With all these recon-
mendations it should have a great run
this summer.
| 1t is conducted on the old, old prin-
ciple upon which the Romans depended
for so many years-that of keeping the
mob amused while it was being robbed.
The Roman rulers used "bread and
circuses" for that purpose. The Ameri-
can capitalist has learned how to dis
pense with the bread while still provid-
ing the circus.
The first important exhibition along
this line was furnished by the $29,O00,-
600 fine. That drew immense crowds,
kept the spectators reused to the high
est pitch of interest and absolutely
prevented them from noticing the pick
pockets that were "swiping their
feathers"
The Immunity bath" afforded q
pleasing variety that prevented any
sign of ennui. 1t introduced new ele-
ment of excitement by showing how
many different ways there are for the
magnates to get away.
At the present moment half dozen
states and the national government are
staging teams playing the game to
large and appreciative audiences. The
drawing powers of the act do not seem
to be impaired in the least By the regu-
lar escape of the supposed victim.
The entire audience seems to be in
much the same state of blissful ignor-
ance as that shown by the visitor from
the rural regions who was seen in the
same seat in the theatre night after
night. The play was one of those af-
fairs where the innocent husband ar
rives home shortly after the lover has
departed. Noting his regular attendance
the manager of the theatre inquired
concerning the features that held his
attention. "Some night that husband
will get home before that other fellow
gets away and want to be here to see
the fight was his reply.
The American public is hoping against
hope that some day trust magnate
will not get away, and they want to
be on hand to see the fight. They do
not realize how the piece is staged any
more than the innocent theatre goer.
So the grand juries go on indicting
and the courts keep up their farce of
prosecuting, and the trusts keep on
flourishing and growing.
Like many another game, however,
this one is most dangerous to the "in-
nocent bystamier.' One of the anti
trust guns was pointed at labor union
the other day and when it went off was
found to be loaded with real ammuni-
tion. Yet it was the same old gun with
which the trusts have been shot every
day for a decade without the least in
jury.-Chieago Daily Socialist.

He had more than the ordinary per-
functory fealty. He had in his hand
the hearts of countless strong and COM
monty undemonstrative men who. in eX-
change for their freely given foniness
for Taft, the man they thought typi-
cal, big, brave, forceful, clean, honest
American, wanted nothing for them
selves wanted only that Taft, as presi-
dent, should fulfill the horoscope they
forecast for him and do the task the
nation had appointed him to do in the
nations hour of need.
Never was there man who took
the oath of office at the capitol and
moved thence to the white house with
so many friends and so few enemies
All republicans we're enthusiastic in
belief in him. Practically all indie
pendent newspapers were as ardent in
their confidence that he would be the
splendid efficient builder and finisher
of the policies he was supposed to
typify.. Even the democrats who were
not absolutely rampant Bryanites look
ed to his fine record of public service
in many lands and had no word to
say agaist highly satisfactory sec
ond choice.
And yet within a year here comes
this tremendous significant change Of
sentiment denoted by the Tribune poll
Taft, the man, has not changed. Not
a voice is raised in any attempt tc
smirch his integrity or his pure in
tent. The whole burden of the ex-
preston is disappointment mingled with
sorrow.
The change has not come about be-
cause there has been injected into the
policies or business of the nation any
new issue or problem about which tn,
people have been compelled no take

The Chicago Tribune is one of the
few really great newspapers of Amer
lea. 1t is a power in dozen states,
and it is respected in every state. And
the reason is that it's strength consists
not only of the journalistic enterprise,
ability and Judgment that have created
circulation, advertising, and consequent
wealth, but of courage and character.
It completed recently a praise-worthy
feat of newsgathering. But if the Trib-
une were not big enough and brave
enough to be exempt from bondage to
q party name, or the dictation of any
faction of the party name, or the die
tation of any faction of the party in the
principles of which it believes, it hardly
would have dared publish the results
of the poll it took of the present po-
litical ideas of the editors of republi-
can newspapers west of the Alleghenies.
The replies of the 3,000-about one
sixth of them being classed as inde-
pendents with republican leaning is in
| twenty-six states-must be regarded as
being not only the individual express
sion of those to whom the letters of
inquiry were directed but the answers
in a large measure represent the senti-
ment of the republicans and independ
ents of the state canvassed.
The oallots cast against Cannon and
Cannonism, against the Aldrich-Payne
tariff law, and agaist the entire con-
duct and control of the present senate
and house Of representatives are sim
ply overwhelming. But the most sig.
nificant results is he totalization Of

LONG STAPLE COTTON.

A variety of long staple cotton, call ed Durango" but having no relation to the Mexican state of that name, was planted this year in w. E. Will sie's experimental field The staple is long, fine and strong, and appears to be the equal of the Sea Island cot ton. Two rows of Durango yielded the same weight of lint as two cor responding rows of Texas short staple If the seed can be obtained, MT. Wilsie will plant ten acres of Durango cot ton next year. The long staple is worth twice as much as short staple, and if the former can be grown sue cessfully here, as experiments indi- cate, there is no reason why Imperial Valley growers should continue plant ing inferior varieties.

SUICIDE AT IMPERIAL
Miss Nettie lngersoII, Teacher in III Health, Cuts Her JuguIar Vein
 With Pen Knife.

A peculiarly sad case of suicide oc- cured at the King Cotton Hotel, Inn perial, last Monday afternoon, when Miss Nettie Ingersoll severed her jug ular vein while kneeling at her bedside
 Miss Ingersoll was a graduate of the Colorado State Normal school and held high credentials as a teacher Her health had broken and she had come to Imperial Valley hoping to receive benefit from its dry, warm climate. Being unable to follow her avocation, she had taken position as waitress at the Buckley cafeteria
 After her noon- time work she had retired to her room, and as she did not appear at the time for the evening rush search was instituted and the body was found. Life had been ex- tinct but a short time
 On the body was found the address of Miss Mary Ingersoll, a sister, who resides in Redlands. The sister was notified, and had the body shipped to Redlands for interment
