Somerton Echoes of the Water
Users Election

The Water Users Association has
safely emerged from the throes OF an
election-the valley is saved again,
and the farmers have nothing to do
but farm. Such luxuriant growth of
presidential timber could but cause
confusion, and, dazzled by such gall
axy, the average voter was much like Il
boy in candy shop-unable TO decide
on his best value.
Your correspondent voted for Grand
Old Man Woodman and, with others of
his adherents, is much disappointed in
our failure to land him. We think his
policy of dealing politely but hrmly
with Uncle Sam might have produced
results, and we are convinced that the
old pioneer would have utterly refused
the Government any further extension
of time in which to complete its work.
Mr.. Cloyd made good impression in
his Somerton speech, which | had the
misfortune to miss hearing. His
i'll success was largely due to our hav-
ing favorite son in the field; also, per-
haps, TO thar natural distrust with
which we view those who hail from the
more civilized and highly cultured dis
tricts of the upper valley.
Mr.. Smith struck the popular chord
with his clever leaRpt. Though check
ed in his ambition, bis fame rs PAM
phleteer has spread over the valley,
apparently years ahead of Laguna
water. A report that he was the choice
of the Socialists is said to have hurt
9he chance of MIR. Smith. This is an
injustice both to the Socialists and to
MIR. Smith. Mr.. Smith is no more q
Socialist than was George III, though
more scholarly in appearance, and OF
much more recent occurrence.
1t is an open secret that Mr.. Stitt
went before the voters under the ehup-
eronage of the retiring president. 1t
is also well known that his intimate
and confidential connection with the
late administration gaye him keen
insight of certain intricate and dip!o-
matte affairs still pending, and under
the same tutelage he is said to have
acquired a complete mastery of that
statecraft which found its embodiment
in his predecessor, and which, more
than anything else has made the Water
Users Association what it is today.
The victorious majority are thus
practically assured of the persistence
of "my policies"

New Port for Kansas City
(Kansas City Star.)

1t has become known in railroad
circles that the cutoff which John
D. Spreckles is building between
Yuma, Ariz., and San Diego, Cal, is
for the Southern Pacific Railway.
Tie Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
has a triffie agreement with the
Southren Pacific. Consequently, the
new cutoff means a direct line be-
tween Kansas City and another Pa
cific port.
The distance from Kansas City to
San Diego over the cutoff viii be
thirty seven miles shorter than the
present Rock Island-Southern Pacific
mileage to LosAhgeles and only sixty
three miles longer than the Kansas
City, Mexico & Orient mileage to its
Pacific port, Topolabampo, Mexico.
The cutoff is expected to be ready
for traffic within two years.
San Diego, which has had only one
railroa1-and that a branch line-is
making great promises for itself as a
result Of the new cutoff and one
other circumstance. 1t points out
that it will be the first American
port of call north of the Panama
Canal.
San Diego has one of the few fine
natural harbors of the Pacific Coast.
On the map it appears to be far off
the direct line between Panama and
China But that is to the person who
does rot take into consideration the
spherical surface of the earth. The
shortest distance between two ports
is the "great circle" between them.
1Ee great circle is the circle that
would be cut by a plane passing
through the center of the earth and
the two ports. In the Panama-China
instance, it goes hard by the Anleri-
can Coast for a surprising distance.
San Diego is very little out of the
way. Vessels sailing from Panama
would have to cross the hump of
the world" if they went straight
acrOss the Pacific. For that reason
they circle north where the earth IS
smaller around.

A Dynamite Suspect

It is doubtful if Sherlock
Holmes would have thought of
looking for oneNof the Times dy-
namiters at the headquarters OF
General Otis ranch in Imperial
valley. That stroke of genius,
however, was perpetrated by an
amateur sleuth inspired by Wis
ions of, a reward beyond the
dreams of avarice.
Smith Jackson, the mildest
hammered man that ever blew up
a building or scuttled a ship, was
arrested last Thursday in Mana
ger Bowker's Office at the G.. M.
ranch on suspicion of being Bry.
son, the dynamite tiend for whom
the police of the world have
been searching for months. He
was brought to El Centro and
lodged in Jail that evening,
awaiting instructions from the
authorities of Los Angeles.
There was a touch of melo-
drama in the capture of Jackson.
Jackson has been operating a
barley crusher and other ma
chinery on the G. M. ranch at
Pascualitos, and be came to the
Office on Thursday for instruc
'tions about his work. Amateur
detective Blaisdell was sleuth-
ing around the place, pretending
to be looking for Il job, when his
eagle eye fell upon Jackson.
Bryson has been described as a
short, sturdy, low-browed, fiat
faced villain of negfold aspect,
lacking an eye and glaring bale
fully with the other. jackson is
slim, long featured, gentle in
manner and has a pair of brown
eyes as mild as a cows. But
Sleuth Blaisdell was not de-
ceived. He penetrated the dis
guise instantly.
Whispering to one of the U. 5.
troopers On guard at the line
gate to keep the desperate dyna-
miter covered, Hawkshaw Blais
dell rushed to- a telephone and
summoned Constable Crane to
come a-running. Crane came
from Calexico on the lope, and
as he approached the ranch,
Jackson started to return to his
job across the line. The men
acing rife of the trooper halted
him and Jackson was seized. No
dynamite was found concealed
upon his person.
Sleuth Blaisdell was one Of
party of three young fellows,
who came down from Los An
geles few weeks ago to see if
there was any chance of getting
into the Mexican rnction. I'm

IribeSmen Accused

Four Papago Indians from the
rancheria near Blaisdell station
are in the county Jail, charged
with Staying that one of the
tribe. who was found last week
done to death by being tied to a
mares tail and dragged about
the desert near by. Another In
dian furnished testimony that
these four men had gone out
with the Indian found dead when
he was last seen alive. The mod9
of execution adopted, it may be
incidentally stated, is that meted
out in tribal custom to buck
found guilty of a particularly
beastly offense.
One of the Indians, q young
boy of fifteen, later confessed
his completely in the crime and
told the story thereof.
He said that Jose Charley, the
dead man, and Bruno Aguila,
one of the men in Jail, had a
fight a few days before the kill
ing and that Aguila got the
worst of it. He could tell but
little of the trouble. The matter
of the trouble was talked over
by the men and it was finally de-
cided that Jose Charley should
be killed. Jose Charley was
taken out among the bushes near
the rancheria and, after consid-
cradle talk, was struck on the
head with a shovel and badly
hurt. His hands were then tied
to his sides and he was placed
on the horse and taken out onto
the desert. The culprit was
beaten over the head with a
shovel till he was killed and then
tied to the horses tail and the
animal turned loose.

Arizona Statehood

Judge Hawkins, formerly on
the supreme bench of the Terri
tory. an appointee of the late
President Cleveland, has return
ed from Washington; to which
city he had gone as member of
the Akers- Hunt delegation of
Statehood boosters. On reach
ing Prescott, his home, be gave
an interview to the Journal-Min
er on the prospects of Arizona
entering the Union Of States.
Under the proposed constitution
he considers it an impossibility,
due to the initiative, referendum
and recall. He further stated
that his old friend Champ Clark
dumfounded him by asking,
"Why did you put those inno-
lvations in your constitutions"
He was compelled to reply that,
inasmuch as he had not been a
member of the creating body, he
was in no wise responsible,
Champ Clark will be the next
Speaker of the House. His action
on the constitution in the event
of its again being placed before
Congress, is foreseen in his ques-
ton to Judge Hawkins. Senator
Bailey. the distinguished Texan,
is opposed to the measure from
the same cause, so much so that,
rather than be considered a par
ty to their adoption. he prefer
red to resign his seat in the Sen
ate. And this he attempted to
do when his fellow Democratic
Senators voted for the admission
of Arizona with those objection
able innovations in her constitu-
ton. This attempted resigna-
tion of Senator Bailey and his
determined opposition to the
Arizona constitution in its pres
ent form, has effectually destroy
ed all chances for Statehood un
der it. In the belief of Judge
Hawkins our only hope now lies
in revision Of that document.
This, he thinks, will be done in
the event President Taft so rec
ommends in his forthcoming mes
sage to Congress, when it con-
venes April 4, next. This the
President will probably do, mas
much as, Judge Hawkins states,
he is exceedingly anxious for the
admission of Arizona as a State.
All of this trouble and delay
was foreseen and the blatant
demagogues in the convention
we're warned against it, but,
drunk with their little temporary
power, they were deaf to the in
terests of Arizona, and not only
insisted on the retention of the
obnoxious innovations complain
ed of, but voted and worked to
legalize strikes, boycotting and
picketing. Sixteen of these men,
including Hunt and Winsor, &C
tually voted for their adoption
as fundamental principles in the
State government. What fine'
old blister of d document it would
have been to have sent to Wash
ington! Even the stomachs of
Owens and Beveridge would have
gagged at that awful mess. But
the stuff might have gone in.

WOMEN AND THE RECALL.

California has discovered that sho
has. to great degree. placed the re-
call OF all State officers, judges not
excluded. into the hands of women
voters Now there is wonder as to
how the combination Will turn out.
When the women take dislike TO an
official they can send in q petition and
have an election called. The petition
need be signed by but IL per cent.
OF the voters, and the women alone
constitute about so per cent. of the
total vote.
The suspicion obtains In some quar-
ters that the California bench leans
too much toward tho railroads. The
judiciary is unpopular, and the recall
may soon be applied to some of its
members.
Women, however, are conservative
by nature. An honest judge has moth :
ing to fear from them. Women are
rarely demasogues. rarely destructive.
They are for peace and quiet. The
State OF Washington has both wo-
man suffrage and the recall. but. ex-
cepting in Seattle. no undesirable re-
suits have been brought about.
