Az the -seelye theatre II Ahilens
the moving pictures are being used
to make campaign pleas In behalf
OF Woodrow Wilson. The pictures
are real living cartoons. They show
q rotund trust waited upon by funk
les in knee breeches, spurning the
laborers who ask for a raise In
wages. but opening up the big black
cigars to boss, who carries off q
big dough bag into which dollars
have been shoveIed. On the walls
are pictures of Taft asd Roosevelt.
The pictures also show laborer
going down the street and spurning
pictures of Taft and Roosevelt but
warming up to Wilson's picture like
sick kitten to hot brick. This
interesting moving picture cartoon
with touch asking the come-ons
to come on again at dollar each
for the Democratic candidate.
Whatever enterprising press agent
got up this boost for the governor
Of the greatest trust-breeding state
in the Union, neglected to work In
to the plot that the Democratic
nominee for president urges In or
der to jibe with the Democratic
states rights doctrine his own theory
that the states should handle the
trust problem, and that II he really
feels his way about 1t there are
several thousand trusts in New Jer-
sey right now which he might prac-
ice on.

COLD NIGHTS FOLLOWED
BY VERY MODERATE DAYS

The cold nights experienced in the
valley of late have left u string of
bad colds that reaches from Coyote
wells 10 the sand hills. This morning
mercury fell to 63, and if anybody
thinks that is not Arctic weather he
is no salamander.
And following that, mercury only
climbed this afternoon to S4. This
weather has forced the male popula-
ton to go scurrying through closets
III search of coats that had not been
seen or thought Of since last March
And after these strange garments had
been donned men went sneaking
through the streets feeling as much
out of place as a Boston dude in the
habitat of Alkali Ike.
But the coat has come. It may go
on and off from time to time. But it
is here to stay more or less securely
for six months And other things will
come along soon. Even the linen col
lar will appear upon the scene within
a month. and the public will grow ac-
customed to the set figures Of tn

riman system will be double tracked
through between San Francisco and
Omaha, and, later, between Los Ange-

A new cutoff will run the Union Pa
cific main line with a considerable saw
ing of distance into st. Joseph, Mo,
thereby improving connections with
Kansas City and st. Louis territory
through the northern gateway.
The betterment work will take a
number of years, but it will have the
effect of entirely readjusting the Har-
riman systems position in the traf-
fic world With double tracks and no
fear of congested terminals the roads
known as the Hartman lines will be
able to make over their freight tariffs
and handle an immense amount of

LOEB is CALLED BY
SENATE COMMITTEE

NEW YORK. Sept. 3.-William Toeb.
.Ir.. has been subpoenaed TO appear
September 30 before the senate COM
mittee which is investigating campaign
contributions. At that time Mr.. Loeb
will tell what he knows about the con-
tributiOns to the campaign of 1904. H
already has gained Colonel Roosevelt s
consent to his giving this testimony.
Mr.. Loeb told newspaper men Aug
uSt % that he learned from George r.
CortelyOu Just after the publication Of
the Hartman letters to Sidney Web
Ster that Cornelius \. Bliss had told
Mr. Cortelyou that no Standard Oil
money had been received nor had any
been asked for nor was any wanted.
The collector of the port was asked
today if he cared to make any reply
to the statement of John ID. Archbold,
published this morning. reiterating
that the Standard OH company gave
$125,000 TO the Republican national
campaign fund in 1904 to elect Colonel
Roosevelt This statement of Mr..
ArchbOld's appears to be in cOntradic-
tion of the information which Mr..
Loeb, then secretary to Colonel ROoSe-
welt, says he received Mr. Loeb de-
Clined to make any further statement
on the subject at this time because of
the fact that he is under subpoena to
apl ear before the senate committee.
He said that he would give the com
mittee all the facts within his knowl-
edge when he appeared before it.

THE PRIMARIES

About 10 per cent of the voters
of Imperial county yesterday decided
so far as this county is concerned,
one of the most important issues
that could be submitted-the question
whether the nation shall be ruled by
dollars or by the manhood and wo-
manhood of the nation. And it was
not in this county alone, but in the
state at large, that the people failed
to do their duty
The cause of this Indifference is
difficult 20 find 1t probably was due
TO the feeling of the Progressives that
their cause was already won. and 10
the feeling of the stand-patters that
their case was hopeless.
Yet the result is apparently secure
for the Progressive principles. and
the candidates of California in all
likelihood will be Roosevelt and John
son.
The narrow escape these candidates
and the cause for which they stand
have had can be attributed to nothing
but the over confidence of their sup

JUST A LITTLE REQUEST

There are probably half the homes in
Imperial valley into which the Press
does not go regularly. The reason for
this, apparently, is that it is impossible
to get the other half of the people to
realize that they can get a daily news
paper. with all the local and ali the
worlds news for a dollar a year. The
publishers are giving for 81 all that most
publishers ask from 50 to S. for, and that
is why they feel at liberty to ask you to
speak to your neighbors about the Great
Dollar Daily. Help US make them real
lze what we are offering to them and thus
make the circulation of the Press uni
Sersal throughout the valley. tt

ing dishpan with a rolling pin as
the sot<means of defense against the
attack of vicious mountain lion Of
fdge dimensions Miss Eva Bovard,
employed as cook at the Chief of the
Hills mining camp. on the desert,
spent a night of terror. The miners
at the camp. which is located on tie
Fourth of July mountain, went TO an
other property to spend the night. and
Miss Bovard said she was not afraid
70 stay alone. She wasn't until she
was awakened by noise in the mid
die Of the night
The moonlight made the outside as
bright as day, and, peeping on the
window Of the cabin Miss Bovard was
Mortified to see a huge mountain lion
walking around and around the cabin.
A few seconds later she heard the
beast scratching on the roof and she
knew it would be but a short time
until he reached the interior III Ges-
peratiOn she ran to the kitchen. and
seizing the dishpan and rolling pin.
started a terrific din.
The beast leaped to the ground and
scampered for 30 Yards. There it rc-
manned. refusing to disappear until
dawn was breaking. although the cook
never ceased beating the dishpan.

STATES POPULATION GREATER

SACRAMENTO. Sept 4.-Since the
census in 1910 the population of Cali
fornia has increased 305 5.51S, according
TO an estimate by Job Wood, statisti-
clan in the office of State Superintend-
ent of Public instruction Hyatt, based
on the average daily attendance in
schools of the state. which was 31S.-
sec for last term-2S0,435 in the Gle
mpntary and 2S.1S1 in high schools.
Wood made his estimate by multi
plying the average daily attendance by
2.4. the ratio of population to school
children in 1910. and the result was
2.6S3.O67, which is the estimated pOpu-
1atiOn of the state today.

sions, the other day-a gray haired
bearded man. 6S years of age, who had
spent three parts of his life-half a
eentury-in prison for thefts which to
day would call forth a comparatively
trifing sentence. He was a laborer,
named George Lawrence, and was
found guilty of being an habitual
criminal. He also pleaded guilty to
having stolen a coat and other articles
from an Office in Chelsea. The judge,
commenting on some of the mans sen
tences-fve years for stealing coats
and three terms of ten years for steal
ing forks, a box, and an overcoat re-
spectively-said that for any one of
those offenses he would nowadays
probably only receive three months
Imprisonment. 1t was an echo OF the
brutal system Of years ago. In all
have served nearly so years in
prison. said the old convict, land |
don't suppose the things | stole were
worth EGO altogether. | have never
had a chance in my life" The Judge
at first passed sentence OF three years
penal servitude for the theft and five
years preventive detention, saying it
was the minimum the law allowed in
such a case, but later he decided that
the offense was one in which he could,
having regard to the past treatment of
the prisoner, pass a sentence of II
months hard labor, thus avoiding the
sentence of preventive detention.
When he heard the altered sentence,
the old man, bringing his hand up to a
military salute, exclaimed, in tones of
gratitude: Il viii e~ndeavor to make it
my very last, sir"
