BUSY FATHER SCHMIDT
Building a Church With His Own Hands in the Hottest Desert
 Weather.

Father Schmidt is making rapid progress in the building of the new Catholic church at Calexico, and when finished the edifice will be one of the handsomest churches in the valley. The Padre is the busiest man in the valley. He is not only attending to his parochial duties in several towns and experimenting the building of the church, but he is doing much of the hard work with his own hands and is getting callouses like brick layers.
 Hard labor in the summer in Inn perial valley takes the jump out of old timers and makes even the sturdy Mexican say things about the heat. Father Schmidt came here direct from London, and this is his first summer in the desert. He is making good and isn't grumbling about the wealth CT, but he will need a vacation when he gets the church finished.
 Funny, isn't it, that a tenderfoot from London, and priest at that, can work hard through the hottest desert weather and keep healthy, happy and enthusiastic, when tough ened old settlers, business men and professional men flee to the coast because, as they explain, they can- not stand the heat. But anyone can stapd the weather here if he will forget to look at the thermometer and keep busy.

TOO MUCH PROSPERITY.
Los Angeles Banker Says That is the Only Trouble in Southern
 California.

Replying to questions asked by a Chicago paper of bankers throughout the country, Stoddard Jess, of the First National Bank in Los Angeles says:
 "The underlying conditions in Los Angeles and Southern California may be said to be entirely sound, and all the difficulties experienced may be attributed to too great prosperity During the winter and early spring our people were unusually optimistic and evidenced a desire to use more money to finance their activities than the supply would allow. Undue ex- travagance among all classes of peo- pie seems to prevail-undoubte as the result of the prosperity we have been experiencing during the last year or two.
 q do not anticipate as heavy a de- mand for money in Los Angeles dur HIS IhS COlllluS lctil uoudl OWlHS U the fact that everybody seems to look for tight money market in the fall and to be governing themselves ac- cordingly. Forewarned is forearmed conditions that are anticipated fre- quently do not >materalize. The banks of Los Angeles have had and still have sufficient money to meet all de- mands for necessary and legitimate uses. Some months ago there appear ed to be concentrated action on the part of the banks to restrict loans and discourage the use of money for speculative and building purposes The action has had a good effect, and the present indications are that the banks will be in a condition to meet all local requirements"

CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR.

An independent candidate for County Auditor is in the field. Mr. s. M. Bixby, an old settler in the val ley declares himself in the race and it looks as if he might win it. MT. Bixby is not only an expert account ant but business man of ripe judg- ment and wide experience, and that is the sort of man that is needed in the important office of Auditor. The County Auditor is or should be some thing more than a mere clerk to add up columns of figures and make en- tries in books His duty is to scruti- nize expenditures and pass upon the legality and the judiciousness of the disposition of public funds by other officers.

A grip belonging to J. c.

Any information relating to the missing property will reach the owner if sent to this office. The drift ing population of the valley has so increased of late that it is no longer safe to leave things lying about loose.

A Democratic exchange says,
commenting upon the contest of
the election of Republican state
officers, that the Missouri Dem
ocracy has never stolen anything
yet, and would hardly begin to
do so now. All it wanted was a
fair investigation of the recent
election in ST. Louis, city and
county. Very nice! but reflect
ing upon it, we are not so dis
posed to accept that party's con
duct without little suspicion
of the honesty of it's protesta-
tiOnS. There is a reason, sever,
al of them, in fact, but the chief
one is the process by which il
acquires an over balance of pow
er in the state and in the con
SISSSlouotl oClOSdSIOI HUN Ille
state. 1t can hardly be contend
ed by the most sincere believer
in the purity of Democratic pur
poses that it is fairly entitled tt
this disproportion of power while
the party casts a smaller vote
than the party which gets the
worst end of the deal through
this process. However, ou1
Democratic friends may not fee
just the same way about it. I
Democrat is usually so constitut
ed that whatever his party doe;
is viewed as proper and correct
no matter if it does have an un
| fair hold upon the ears of par
tisan advantage.

The Globe Democrat says that

The be-DemOcrat says that,
AS a means of dealing with H.
legal combinations nothing bet
ter has yet been devised than
the Sherman antitrust law"
That the Sherman law is sutfi-
cient is not questioned, but that
the enforcement of it has caused
a single monopoly, however illeg-
al it may be in its operations. to
abandon its practice, must be
disputed Neither the Sherman
law or any measure that could
be enacted to supplant it, could
break up the Capitalization our
industrial institutions are under
going and make them competi-
tive again. The reason is very
simple, it is because the capital
that operates them has central
lied until there is no opportunity
of competition. No single indi-
vidual supplying the market
with necessary commodity
would compete with himself.
For all the Sherman law has
been on the statute books for
more than twenty years this con
centration has been going stead
lily forward, and it will continue
to go forward regardless of it.
With monopoly an established
institution, the question is not one
of breaking it up. but whether il
shall remain monopoly in pri
vate hands or owned collectively
by the people.

Will the United States take a
hand in the Mexican revolution
airy troubles: That will depend
on whether the Diaz government
will be able to establish national
equanimity again promptly, by
any method he cares to resort
to. Should the disturbance pre-
vail long, then we may expect to
see the United States mix in.
Why Because our big business
interests have a few billion dol
lars invested in Mexican trans
pOrtatiOn and commercial enter
prises, and when the dividends
are threatened, to say nothing of
the danger to the invested capi-
tai, j. Pierp. Morgan will send
