W|DE-FELT INDIGNATION IS
VOICED IN MANY LETTERS

From many letters received by the
ley it is evident there is wide spread
indignation over the act of Imperial
in voting to throw down the bars
which heretofore have kept this val
ley community of high morals. The
tone of these many letters runs uni
form. 1t is to the effect that Imperial,
having drawn the line against moral
ity for the entire valley, the entire
valley is forced to recognize Imperial
as the seat of vicious influences and
compel that city to pay the penalty
of its surrender to debauchery or with
draw from its position.
The withdrawal of trade from the
town, the removal of the water COM
pany office so there will be 10 neces-
sity for the farmers going there these
are the two points which are foremost
in the thoughts of the people of the
valley.
With this is a recognition of the
fact that Imperial has simply been
chosen by the booze contingent as the
gateway 10 the valley, ana 1t enters
with the determination to spread it's
communicating influence to every other
town in the valley.
The issue is thus drawn more def
nitely than it ever has been hereto
fore. and the demand for organization
to resist the encrodchments of booze
is imperative.
One of the correspondents Of the
Press calls for the organization of an
anti-liquOr union in every school dis

| trict in the valley, which unions shall
have a central county organization.
The suggestion is a good one. The
valley must get back to first princi-
pies 1t must present a determined
front against the debauchery now for
tilted by the act of the majority of
citizens of Imperial.
The Press will cheerfully aid in this
work II will do what lies in it's power
to crystalizc sentiment against the en-
crOaChment of booze The editor of
the Press and others who are deter
mined to head off this invasion will
be pleased to meet with the people of
any town or any school district i'll the
valley which will take steps to organ
ize an anti-salOon liquor union.

matter and the other sections will not
be slow in doing the same.

be held in the Christian Church Tues
day evening. when a local union will
be organized. TO this every person iii
town and vicinity. who seeks to pre-
serve the high moral status of the val
ley is invited. Similar meetings will
be held elsewhere in the valley, and
from the local unions central county
union will be formed
1t is not a religious or a political
organization that is to be formed. It's
sole purpose is to preserve high civic
ideals, and whoever can come in on
that basis, man. woman or youth, is
urged TO join the organization and
help give it that compelling force
which will drive out of the valley for
ever those who seek to destroy the
high ideals that have been established

and while in London he amused him

system. He was licked to death by
British parliamentary methods and
Immediately decided to experiment on
his own account. Like a cautious
despot, however, he isn't going to
allow his subjects too much freedom
all at once, and he does not figure on
giving votes to more than about five
thousand of his most trustworthy men
just yet.
