Bryan's Talk

The address delivered by Will
liam J. Bryan in this city is yet be
ing quoted by the people. Nearly
everyone in the community had
chance to listen and absorb the
logic as expended by the greatest
orator that is in America today.
The mere fact that it is Bryan who
talks is but an incident, it is what
he talks about and how it is said.
Bryan has the faculty OF convinc-
ing, he is like the great lawyer
who makes his case from argument,
and Bryan in this campaign has so
many new arguments, so many CON
vincing proofs that he makes Demo
cratic. voters wherever he speaks.
His arrangement of Mr.. Roosevelt
while it never grows abusive is most
convincing. His dealing with Taft
is such that the Republican admir-
ers do not take offense. but must
recognize the sane sense Of the Com
moners plea. He shows the work OF
the Wall street manipulators IN the
political game as only Bryan can do
it. He handles the trusts without
gloves and in fact public questions
and public men are handled public
ally, so that all may hear and know,
Of the thousands who heard
Bryan in Nevada they all concede
that he has the best argument OF
any orator that has addressed them.
They further concede that he hand
les the naked truth in good plain
English that all may understand.
BRYAN is always welcome visitor.
He is a great American, and that is
what makes his appeal to the people
stronger than any man who faces
them.

United States code that compels

The editors throughout the Union

j. Holeman Buck of the Nevada

Courage

The qualities of independence and
courage are conspicuous in Cover
nor Wilson's makeup, as has fire
quently been shown. They were
exhibited very wildly the other day
when Wilson upset the plans OF
some peanut politicians in New York
to exploit Charles F. Murphy and
Governor Dix at Wilson's expense
The Democratic candidate for Presi
dent refused TO be placed in the at
ttude OF endorsing Dix or condon-
ing Murphy. On the contrary, he
raped bossism so hard in his speech
at the State fair that the Tammany
boss's ears must have burned. The
Democrats of New York state owe
it to themselves and the Democracy
Of the nation to drop Dix and kick
Murphy out. No man who wears
Murphy's collar can be elected Gov
ernor of New York and to temper
ize with the thoroughly discredited
boss of Tammany Hall is not only
to invite defeat of the State ticket
but to endanger Wilson's prospects
for carrying the Empire State.

HOW TO ERADICATE SMALL |
ALkALI SPOTS,

A Palo Verde farmer recently
wrote to the query department of
the California Cultivator for informa-
uon as to the best method of get
ting rid of the small alkali spots
that are found occasionally in the
valley. This question is of such gem
eral interest to Palo Verde farmers
that the query and answer are printed
in full, as follows:
81 have several small alkali spots
on my place. How may | do away
with them. Cotton, small grain,
milo and alfalfa are the crops raised
They do well ordinarily but on these
crop can plant which will thrive on
this alkali or counteract the effect
on the other crops? Does time of
planting have anything to do with
the stand of alfalfa in this alkali?
Hood the land irrgating. VIII this
spread the alkali or help to remove
it? VIII plowing under trash or
barnyard manure help?''-Subscrib
Blythe, Riverside County.
'The only effective remedy for
alkali is under drainage, and this is
so beneficial that many have found
great profit in doing it. AS a help,
however, where under drainage can
not be followed, if it is black alkal

though very slightly. If the lands are
used for pasture then Australian
salt grass might be planted. It does
ture Beets are usually tolerant of
alkali If the land is underlaid with
hardpan or a heavy subsoil, relief is
secured by putting in few blasts
of dynamite and breaking through
this crust. The result is similar to
drainage, that is providing the sub

ure and plenty of water is used to
wash out the alkali. Heavy irriga-
ton does not benefit other than it
sometimes carries the alkai deeper
into the soil SO that plants become
established before it rises again, and
the caustic effect is not so severe ON
the plants. We do not think season
of the year of planting seed would
make any difference excepting that
heavy rains following planting aid
in keeping the allkali down below the
surface. In rainy sections alfalfa has
been planted in especially wet years
and become established, whereas
when seeded in a dry year the alkali
rises and destroys the young paints
before they reach the resistant age" :"

THE LITTLE "JOkER."

1t appears that the workman's COM
pulsory compensation law, enacted
by the special session of the Arizona
legislature, in pursuance to consti-
tutional mandate, contains a joker
which completely nullifies the entire
act. Section IA of the act reads:
"Sec. 14.-This act shall take effect
on the first day of September, 1912;
and ten days from and thereafter, it
shall be taken and held in law that
all workmen then in the employ and
all workmen afterwards employed by
an employer at manual and mechan-
ical labor of the kinds defined in
Sec 3 of this act, are employed and
working under this act, and the en-
ployer and workmen shall alike be
bound by and shall have each and
every benefit as if a mutual con-
tract to that effect were entered
into between the employer and the
workman at any time before the
SHALL BE LAWFUL, HOW
EVER, FOR THE EMPLOYER
OR WORKMAN TO DISAFFIRM
AN EMPLOYMENT UNDER
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
ACT BY WRITTEN CONTRACT
BETWEEN THEM, OR BY
WRITTEN NOTICE BY ONE
TO, AND SERVED UPON, THE
OTHER TO THAT EFFECT BE
FORE THE DAY OF THE AC-
CIDENT."
According to this little joker,
which is printed in caps above, all
that is necessary for the employer to
do to avoid paying damages in case
of accident, is to serve notice on
his employee to the effect that he
is not employed under the provisions
of this act.
Yes, Arizona is a progressive state
and has a dandy constitution, but
it is evident that the progressive
force at present in power put one

CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS.
(AriZona Republican,

Now, at last, there is detachment
of honor" men where those who
have been criticising the honor
system at the penitentiary may put
their hands on them, knowing that
they are therein the county Jail
at Globe.
4 group of these honor men,
including one life-termer, for murder
is in the custody of the county au-
thorities of Gila county, to the shame
of the management of the peniten-
tiary. One Of the convicts, the life
termer, was found to be in posses
sion of enough strychnine tablets to
make his term very short.
Hitherto when reports of the mis-
dCing of these honor" pets have
gone out they have been denounced
as lies and the circulators of them
as enemies of the administration
In the face of these official denials
it has been difficult to establish the
truth of the reports, that is to estab
lish them to the satisfaction of the
general public, as, for instance, in
the matter of the Red Rock affair.
In that case reputable citizens
affirmed that life-term murderer
was permitted to leave the peniten.
tiary at Florence with another con
vfct and couple of guards and go
TO Red Rock, where they had a
drunken orgy in the murderer's sa-
loon. The guards and the convicts
denied the report and the denial
was accepted by the officials of the
prison who denounced the origina-
tors and circulators of it. The rep
utable citizens of Red Rock and
Tucson whose veracity is without
question, were without opportunity
or interest to pursue the subject
any further.
There have been many stories of
drunkenness of convicts in the towns
of Florence and Winkelman but
all these stories have met with in
dignant denial by officers whose
word would very naturally be taken
throughout the state against that of
estimable citizens, of whom a large
majority of citizens out of their own
localities had never heard.
But. now, we have concrete case
the convictS who ought to be within
the walls of the penitentiary at
Florence are more securely held

(Pa1o Verde Valley Herald.)

That the residents of Palo Verde
valley are vitality interested in Sen
ate Constitutional Amendment No. 3,
which is to be voted ON by the peo
pie of the state in November, was
emphasized by A. l.. Cowell, editor
of the Modesto News in letter to
The Herald last week Mr.. CoWell is
a representative of the Irrigation Dis
tricts Association Of California.
This amendment, if adopted, will
permit the use of the bonds of irri-
cation districts to be used as secu-
rity for the repayment Of state, cOun
ty and municipal funds loaned to
banks Such loans are now allowed
in order to put back into circulation
the money collected in taxes, but
the constitution requires certain
kinds of bonds to be put up as Sc
curity that the money will be paid
back when needed and the bonds
of irrigation districts are not includ-
ed in the list.
AS nearly all banks which buy bonds
desire to use them at times for secur
ity for the borrowing of public money
! they do not like to get irrigation dis
| trict bonds. If the amendment lis
adopted, such bonds will have the
same privileges that other bonds en-
joy, and the market for them will be
enlarged and their value will in
crease.
In statement concerning the
amendment, COwell points out that
these facts made it important for
every resident of an irrigation dis
trict to vote and work for this meas
ure. He said that the Palo Verde val
ley will likely issue bonds as soon as
its plans for acquiring a water sys-
tenn are completed ,and the more they
can be sold for the better it will be
for the taxpayers. He therefore sug
gested that voters here not only re-
member to stamp a cross in favor Of
the amendment at the November elec
ton, but that they also write to per-
sons outside of the district, asking
Nor their support.
He showed that the public credit
will not be endangered by the adop-
ton of the amendment because a law
was recently enacted providing that
when district wishes to issue bonds
that are to be legal investments for
| banks it must have it's project inves-
tigated by a state commission COM
posed of the attorney general, the
state engineer and the superintend-
ent OF banks, and, if their report is
favorable, the bonds can then be re-
corded with the state controller and
be certified by him In addition to
these safeguards, the officers in
charge of the public funds are requir-
ed to pass upon any bonds offered as
security for loans of such money.
Believing that our bonds are now
on safe basis,' said Cowell, eve
ask the people of the state to give
them the privileges which the bonds
of counties and cities enjoy. To do
so will be a great help to the devel-
opment of irrigation districts, and l
find general support of the policy
wherever the new conditions under
which irrigation districts operate are
understood. Every resident of this
district can help to roll up a big ma
jority for the measure It is a mat
ter of common interest and everyone
should have part in it,
