PRESS COMMENT
Calumny Answered.
(Chicago Tribune)

The bullet Of Schrank wounded
Roosevelt, but 1t killed two cowardly
lies that have been tol6 during this
campaign.
One of the lies was that Theodore
Roosevelt was addicted to the abuse
of alcohol.
The surgeons In attendance upon
him can best answer that SANDER.
They did it in the following bulletin:
I'VE find him In magnificent physical
exercise and his habitual abstinence
from tobacco and liquor
They, who know. in their cold, pro-
fessional language. give the death
blow to this calumny.
The other lie, born III the poisonous
hatred Of Wall street. banded about in
cowardly gossip, not daring TO show
its head in print. was that Colonel
Roosevelt is mentally and nervously
unbalanced, victim OF brainstorms,
OF hereditary mental abnormality.
Colonel Roosevelt has just passed
through one OF the greatest crises a
mans brain and nervous system can
experience. Without warning. swift
ly out OF darkness and with terrible
force blow falls upon him. 8
He receives the wound as II 1t were
a pat on the back. In the storm Of ex-
citement about him he remains as
firm, as cool, as clear headed, as ef-
fectiye as If he were N his library at
home. He leans forward and gives
quick, sharp orders to protect his as
sailant. He is master of the situation.
He has not even the natural impulse OF
anger, for he says with noble charity:
DO not harm the poor creature"
Body, and brain. and heart stood UP
to that fearful test with heroic suf-
ficiency No man whose mind was not
strong and sound. no man whose body.
and brain, and character were not all
theoretically nodded could have played
his part as Theodore Roosevelt has
played his.
The personal abuse OF Colonel
Roosevelt will go down in history with
the equally shameful attacks upon
Washington and Lincoln. The UNI
shaken strength. the cod courage. the
warm human charity which Theodore
Roosevelt displayed In the midst Of
deadly peril shine out the brighter
against the background OF calumny.
There Is no more inspiring incident in
the life of any Of our great men than
Roosevelt has given since Monday
night.

THE NET RESULTS FROM
-FOUR YOUNG DATE Trees
Encouraging Showing Made by Fred N.
Johnsonfon His Ranch Near Indio
in Raising This Fruit.

The Coachella Valley News in tell
ing of the net results from date trees
on the ranch of Fred n Johnson, near
Indio, says;
Only four palms in this date garden
have come into bearing.
This is the first year for two of
them. &c has borne two former
crops and the other just one.
All four palms are six years old.
This year Mr.. Johnson pruned off all
but eleven punches.
He sold from the four young palms
one hundred and thirty-nine pounds
of dates.
His first shipment sold for 81 a
pound. Later shipments for S5 and 75
cents. He received a total of $110 for
the crop.
These are actual figures for the four
young trees, just beginning to- bear.
Then besides this 139 pounds sold,
Mr.. Johnson gave away several
pounds. enjoyed several himself and
sent several pound boxes to friends as
presents.
This is really a very gratifying re-
suit. The possibilities of the date in
dustry are wonderful Those who
have gardens set out are much elated
over Mr.. JOhnsOn'S success.

SAYS A NEW TARIFF
STANDARD Is NEEDED

BAY CITY, Mich, Jan. 3-Senator
Robert M. LaFollette, in his address
here, defied the progressive move
ment as standing for a representative
government, direct nomination of all
officers, direct election of all United
States senators and for the initiative,
referendum and recall.
The enormous interests of the coun-
try" said the senator, are a great
peril. The vast interests are welded
together with powerful strength. The
large inflated capital of billions of dol
lars means ruin to the country in time
of depression. Woe unto the honest
business enterprises of the country in
time of a real storm. The serious pen
alrieS cannot be averted.
What the country needs is a revi-
sion of tariff, new standard The
tariff should be ased on the difference
in the cost of production in this coun-
try and abroad The tariff now is

based upon the cost of production
plus the enormous profits of the trust.
The government takes the word of the
manufacturer"
Senator La Toilette said that with
the Dingley tariff bill to look up to,
there was fine feeding for the trusts.
From 1897 to 1900" he continued,
the interests formed 149 trusts with
4 combined capital of $3,7S4 900, 900
for the sole purpose of fixing prices
and downing competition. In 1900 to
1904, 1854 organizations were brought
into combination, with an enormous
capital of S20,397, ,162,511. In 1908 the
number of combined organizations had
swelled to 1920, capitalized at more
than $31, eco, 100000. These figures do
not include the consolidation of banks.
insurance companies and trust COM
panies.
The speaker said the entire business
interests of the country are today con-
trolled by less than 100 men, who have
the power TO dictate prices, both pur-
chasing and selling. He said he firm

TELLS HOW THE TRUST

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Forty cents a
hundred pounds was the penalty as
sessed against members of the old
packers pool who overshipped their
allotment into any particular territory
and the amount was distributed among
the members disseminated against.
The amounts were paid by check every
week after the meetings in which the
packers reviewed the shipments of the
preceding week.
This information regarding the in
side workings of the old packers pool
between 1898 and 1896 was given today
by Henry Veeder when he resumed his
testimony in the trial of the ten Chi
cagO meat packers before United
States District Judge Carpenter.
"Who presided over the meetings of
the combination in those days?" asked
Special Counsel Butler.

|. v. v. MEN ARE
HELD TO APPEAR IN
SUPERIOR COURT

Preliminary examinations before
Justice /. Mayfeld of J. w. Stanford,
Fred Niles, Jim Roberts and r. M. Did
son, |. w. w. men charged with grand
larceny, We're held yesterday afternoon
and all four were held to appear be-
fore the superior court Bail was fixed
at $4,000 each and being unable to
raise the amount, they were remanded
to the county Jail.
THESE are a part of the company of
fifteen men who have been held in the
Jail here on charges connected with
the |. w. w. troubles at Holtville and
Coyote Wells.
Three of the band pleaded guilty to
petty larceny before Justice Maytield
this forenoon. They were Myron Mar
shall, Leo B. McCrary and Frank Zinn.
Marshall and McCrary were SEN
fenced to thirty days each in the coun-
ty jail and to pay fines of $50 each.
Both appeared very penitent: Marshall,
who is rancher on the east side and
who stated that he planned to be mar
ried soon, asked to be allowed to make
a statement before he was sentenced
he said that he realized that he had
made grave mistake and that he in
tended to take it as a lesson that
would lead him to better life. He asked
for an immediate sentence. He told
how the l. w. W. camp being out of
food call was made for volunteers to
go foraging and how he was selected
as one of the party. He acknowledged
killing hog, but made the naive plea
that the rancher had so many that one
wouldn't be missed.
McCreary, his companion, spoke up
that 1T didn't make any difference how
many hogs the rancher had; we knew
it was wrong and was stealing"
Imperial Valley press., 1912-01-03

When McCreary was given an Op-
portunity to make statement before
he was sentenced, he said he didn't
believe 1t was worth while. We've
got it coming to us, and want to take
it as soon as possible" he said. He
stated, however that when the call for
volunteers was made he supposed he
was going out after stuff that the l.
w. w. men had already secured and
did not realize that it was stealing
expedition until he was in the wagon
with his blankets
Frank Zinn, who is good looking
lad just past 1S years, confessed to
stealing chickens. He said his par
ents live in one of the eastern states
and that he had been in the valley
only few weeks He had been cut
ting corn near Brawley and when the
job was finished he drifted to Holtville
and Joined the T. W. VS.
He asked for an immediate sentence,
but on account of his age Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Birkhauser asked JUS
tice Mayfield to postpone sentence. The
lad may be placed on probation.
1t now develops that the plans of
the l. W.. WIS were more elaborate
than at first suspected. They had no
less ambition plan than another in
vasion of Lower California, it is said,
and were bound on this expedition
wnen intercepted by Sheriff Meadows
and his deputies below Ooyote Wells.
A part of this plan, say the officers,
was to surprise the county road camp
in DEVILS canyon, release the prisoners
and get them to join the gang and then
cross the international line to join
forces with Manonistas who have been
in the mountain district since the sur
render of Tia Juana
