HIS WIFE A REAL HELPrIEET

Mr.. Underwood has been helped and
assisted by his wife. She is proud Of
him and has faith in his future. She
takes the utmost interest in his work
and his ambitions. She assumes ful1
control of the domestic establishments
and leaves him free from care and CO.'S

lays out his clothes for him and ties

wholesome and companionable No

reciprocity legislation, to which the
Democrats were favorable, the House
was Democratic mainly because of the
dissatisfaction of the people with the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law, the election
that made the House Democratic being
the first opportunity the people had to
express that dissatisfaction tangibly.
The Democrats had a majority of
nearly seventy. They had not had pos
session of the House for sixteen years.
They were politically hungry and polit-
ically thirsty. They needed sustenance.
They thought they had chance to elect
a president in 1912 and get full swing
at all the perquisites and prerogatives
of the Government; and each man OF
the two hundred and twenty-eight Dem
ocrats was full of schemes for making
this chance certainty. They were all
anxious to revise the tariff in order tc
keep faith with the people, but they hat
many plans for revision and many
shades of opinion as to how it should
be revised. They felt their power anC

thusiastic and none too prudent.

UNDERWOOD'S
BOLD PROGRAM

The Underwood program contemplateS

framed so as to Tighten the burien

shock to important national interests.
This is a sensible program.
1t is good political strategy and sound
economics. Moreover, it is practical

PAL0 VERDE SETTLERS
APPEAL TO PRESIDENT

RIVERSIDE, June 1S.-The people
Of the Palo Verde valley. alarmed at
the break in the Colorado river, and
the subsequent overflow of many
acres of their land, have drawn up a
petition which they intend to present
at once to the government, asking i'm
mediate aid in the erection of levees
and dykes for the protection Of their
lands from overflow.
A committee composed of Messrs
Stewart and Rannells of the Palo
Verde country, and H. M. Frazer Of
this city, are obtaining endorsement
of this petition from influential busi-
ness organizations of this city as the
county seat, and the endorsement Of
committee has been affixed. The en-.
dorsement of the Riverside Business
Mems association has also been re-
ceived
The message which will be sent to
the president is as rollows:
"Palo Verde valley, principally in
Riverside county, California, small
portion of Imperial county, containing
10000 acres rich farming land, is one
half under water, caused by a break in
the levees and extreme high water of
the Colorado river. Crops and i'm
provements have been destroyed and
many settlers forced to abandon their
homes. We ask that recommends
ton e-made to congress for a special
appropriation of $25O.OOO to be ex-
pended under the direction of the
president for repairing and construct
ing levees and for protection work
and to be handled in same manner as
proposed appropriation for Imperial
valley. We are advising Mr. Works
and Mr.. Stephens"
This is signed by the Palo Verde
Settlers association, through their sec
retary, as well as by others interested
in the welfare of the country. and is
hoped that it will bring immediate
results for the suffering land owners
in the valley.
