GET READY TO FIGHT.
Citizens Opposed to Pipe Dreams
Should Gird on Armor.

Citizens and taxpayers of Lin
coin who are opposed to pipe
dreams and in favor of progress
sive municipal government,
should be getting ready to put the
rollers under the proposed new
city charter framed up by the
cumbersome charter committee
The fine Italian hands of two or
three franchised corporations are
easily discernible in the framing
OF the proposed charter; also the
much coarser hands of something
like fourteen politicians who are
seemingly anxious to perpetuate
their little S25 month council
manic Jobs. ...-s
Even the proviso that the mayor
may not appoint any of his rela-
tives to office does not counter
balance the vicious features of the
charter. Briefly the proposed
charter provides for council of
fourteen members elected at large
the same sized council as at
present. Then it provides for the
election of a mayor, who shall
have power TO appoint all other
officials and heads of depart
ments. This is said to be after
the Boston plan,' and it sounds
like it.

commission form of government,

THE COLOR LINE.
Must Be Obliterated if Organized
Labor Is to Succeed.

The drawing of the color line
in a labor organization is one of
the most unreasonable ideas we
have ever heard advanced Labor
knows no color, white, black and
yellow have to work and are en-
ployed by capital to produce
wealth.
Nothing suits the corporate in

THE GENERALS COMPLIMENTS
 TO HOWE.
(Los Angeles Times)


 Depravity often leads to insanity and the theory that introspection, breeding upon his own vicious nature, has made him a lunatic is about the only one to account for the recent outbreak of the editor of a strange little sheet published in the southern end of the State, charging that two corporations immensely interested in the prosperity of the Imperial Valley to ruin the valley, to destroy the crops, to starve the settlers and to condemn the whole community, with all it's investments, to extinction
 It was the most illogical and fatu- ously conceived fake ever spread over little newspaper in big type. That the company that was seeking to sell a great property was trying to ruin it-had joined hands with the com pany to which it sought to sell the property, to reduce it to worthless ness-what a brilliant idea! That the two corporations to whose great est advantage it would be to have the valley produce immense crops and grow fat and famous had put up job to devastate it and prevent any products from being raised and ship ped out-what a rational assumption!
 And how petty the spleen, how fool ish the lie, how crazy the screed and it's author look in the light of the events of the past three days! There was no need to deny the canard; but the history of Friday and Saturday put a quietus on it. And without, are dogs"
