Unrestricted use of the canal for

TEDDY GIVES HOT REPLY To
CHARGES MADE BY WILSON

IBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCLATIONS1
TRINIDAD. Col, Sept. 19.-Colone el
Roosevelt today voiced a hot reply
t. the charges of Woodrow Wilson
that the Progressive platform plank
providing for regulation of trusts was
suggested by Perkins and Gary. He
said: Five minutes inquiry would
have convinced Wilson that he had
no foundation for the statements.
When president l advocated the same
methods the Progressives now advo-
cate in handling the trusts, which IS
the practical application of the prin
ciple of the interstate commerce act,
While in Minnesota l learned that men
controlling the steel and harvester
trusts there are supporting either Taft
or Wilson"
LAGUNA, n. NJ, Sept. 19.-Theodore
Roosevelt the Progressive candidate
for president, and several hundred
Zuni Indians furnished the subject for
what Cecil Lyon of Texas termed

too busy trying to converse with the
Indians to do much posing, but the
camera caught him in number of
characteristic attitudes.

The scene where the pictures Were
snapped was exceedingly picturesque,
the settlement, composed of adobe
shacks, being several hundreds years
old.
Wilson further said that under the
Progressive plan a corporation would
control the labor market, declaring
that labor's only chance is in competi-
ton. Wilson'S reasoning is evidently
obtained from reading books. If ne
had a personal, working knowledge If
labor conditions he would know, as
every wise leader does, that reckless
competition spells ruin to the majority
OF wage earners. Wilson has made an
absurd mistake"

OFFICES FOR SALE

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-That police
promotions in New York City during
former Police Commissioner Bingham's
term of Office were not made on merit
but were bought and paid for like any
other commodity, was the gist of evil
dence presented to the aldermanic
committee which is investigating
charges of graft against police Of
fcials. Commissioner Waldo present
ed the committee with an affidavit
signed by Police Captain Reith which
charged that he was turned down for
captaincy during Bingham's admin
istration because he refused to pay
A. l.. Johnson and James Hoff, agents
of the administration, $4,000 for the
job. He admitted, however, that he
had paid $500 to be made roundsman.
Former Commissioner Bingham, the
next witness, after waving immunity,
testified that he heard talk while he
was commissioner that promotions in
the department were paid for, but that
he did not believe it. He said he did
not promote Roth because he did not
consider him fit for promotion.

PHOENIX PAPER IS WASTING
SPACE ON ANNEXATION PROJECT

The Phoenix Gazette some time since
alton of Imperial and San Diego coun-
ties, California, by Arizona, and now
it is out with an article to demon
strate that such annexation is legally
possible-if the affected districts ask
for it,
There can probably be no question
that the law will permit of such an
neXation-if the people wish it-but
the same remark applies to many
other possible projects.
For instance, it is sug ggested that
there is no legal obstacle TO the city
of Phoenix annexing the moon-if the
people desire, and the moon would
prove a very valuable addition to the
beautiful metropolis of the Salt River
valley.
1t will be recalled that that famous
historian, Mark Twain, in his Adams
diary" recounted the experience of
Eve in throwing clods at the moon, in
an effort to knock it down. 1t would
be just as legal for Phoenix to do the
same now as it was in the days of
the primitive man.
There would be certain distinct ad-
vantages in having the moon as an
annex to any one of these hot towns
The moon is supposed to be very cold
and by attaching it to a balloon, it
could be raised and lowered at will
to suit the climate, and it would prove
as valuable as cold storage plant in
the maintenance of an equable cli-
mate.
The fact is, as has been repeatedly
pointed out by the present writer, that
it would be very much better if there
were a state formed, based on the po-
Imperial Valley press., 1912-09-19

tential Industrial influence Of the Col
orado river and it's tributaries.
II such a state were formed the
first great object of the state would
be the development of the irrigation
and power possibilities or the great
river. That is not possible with sew
eral states having jurisdiction over the
water of the river. but it would be
possible if the lower river was under
the laws of a single state.
On such basis there is sound logic
for making a change in the present
state lines, but there is neither rhyme
nor reason In the project for taking
this section into Arizona.
1t is true that San Diego is rather
inclined to look with favor on the
project, if one can judge from the
newspaper comments, for San Diego
would like to be the principal harbor
in the new state of Calizona or Ari-
zical, or whatever appellation might
be applied to It.
But Imperial valley is very well sat
isfied to be a portion of southern Cal
ifornia-the best portion at that-and
knows of no reason why it should give
serious thought to the project ad-
vanced by the Phoenix editor.
We will have to advise Phoenix 70
direct its attention to the moon and
cease casting sleeps eyes at Imperial
valley.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS

tBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONSl
BOSTON, Sept 19.-About 100 men
are at work at Fenway park, arrang~
ing accommodations for 10000 persons
who are expected to attend the worlds
championship baseball series between
the New York Giants and the Boston
Red Sox. All available space is to be
used for temporary stands and at least
10000 seats, in addition 10 the normal
capacity of $4,000, will be added. To
protect the fans from spectators, the
Boston management has decided not
to distribute reserved seats by mail,
thereby making it necessary to call
for them. This system is expected to
minimize the operations of the specu-
lative element
