WarnIno to Railroads

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-"SaIety
first" is the paramount rule Of train
operation suggested by the interstate
commerce commission in its twenty
sixth annual report. submitted to con-
gress. Discussion OF disasters on
American railroads during the las.
wear constitutes an important feature
of the report.
1t is pointed out that many of the
accidents resulting in fatalities might
have been averted by the exercise o.
proper precautiOn or the employment
of suitable devices and good equip
ment. Figures given show that Of the
total Of S215 derailments during the
year, 1877 were caused by defects of
the roadway and and 3847 were due
to defective equipment. This indicates
an increase over the previous year Of
652 in the derailmentS due TO bad road
way and 1929 due to bad equipment.
The investigation by the commission
itself of railroad accidents involving
loss Of life, the report says. "has pro-
ceeded far enough to indicate the need
of more effective measures than thus
far have been taken to secure safety
of railroad travel" While the previ
Gus suggestions of the commission as
to the adoption of the railroads Of all

being adopted las rapidly as condi-
tions will permit" and 1.-The danger
from the use of unsound cars is grad
ually disappearing" the serious dan
gers Of defective roadway and the use
of unsound rails still remain, as a re
suit Of which derailments are likely at
any time to occur.

STANDARD OIL IS BLAMED
FOR MEXICAN REVOLUTION

WASHINGTON. Dec. i6.--Grea,
American ., financial interests will be-
held responsible for the revolutions in
Mexico and Cuba by the sub commit
tee Of the Senate foreign relations
committee which has been inyesti
eating conditions in these countries.
The subcommittee. undef the di
rection of Senate William Alden Smith
of Michigan. expects to conclude its in
quiry during the next few days and
to submit its report to congress i'm
nlediately after the holidays. This re-
port promises to be a scathing arraIgn.
ment Of American business interests
for the part they are alleged to hav.
the Diaz government in Mexico and in
the alleged attempts they made to ere :
ale disturbances in Cuba.
Some Of the interests, it is asserted,
We're anxious to have the United States
intervene both in Mexico and Cuba
with view to anneXing the countries
to the American republic.
Others, notably in the case OF Mexi-
co, were dissatisfied with the treat
ment they received from the Diaz gov
ernment and wanted the Madero revO-
luton to succeed because they be-
lieved they would receive more con-
In power.
The report Of the Smith subcommt-
Tee will disclose that the United States
has served as base for Mexican and
Cuban revOlutiOnists-that large

conclusive it is said, that there can
be no doubt they were involved in the
aLti-DiaZ outbreak.
For example, it is stated, that di-
rect connection had been traced be-
tween the Maderistas and subsidiary
OF the Standard Oil company. When
Daz was in power an English syndi-
cate having the ear of the govern
ment, got large holdings Of oil lands.
The operations of this syndicate were
brought to- summary end, it is said,
when MaderO was installed in the
Mexican capital.
1t is alleged that mining interests
aided in the Madero victory. Every
one knows the present president Of
Mexico had ample funds for his cam
paign against the DiaZ government.
In fact, it is said when Senior Linn
antOu, finance minister under DiaZ
stopped in New York on his way to
Mexico City from Paris. he obtained
evidence Of such strong financial back
ing Of MaderO that he advised his chief
Imperial Valley press., 1912-12-18

that every participant is accorded fair
and just treatment for the work they
have performed. Therefore it let the
candidates choose judges who in their
opinion are fair and impartial and
whose integrity they believed to be be !

Why should the Press act otherwise !!

that will win the prizes.

Are you certain that success will crown

Stop, think and consider, these are
questions to ponder over. These are
questions worthy of more than mOmen-
tary consideration. They mean your
success or failure. They mean your
victory or defeat. A mOmentary reflec-
ton will convince you it is better to
win by large majority than lose by
small minority. 1t is better to have
100000 votes too many than to lose
by lack Of one. II is better to work the
