WILSON WORRIES THOSE
 THAT FEAR INNOVATION

There isn't much chance nowadays for people who worry about prece- dents and traditions. These are viewing with alarm the invasion of New Jersey this week by Woodrow Wilson, in an effort to arouse public sentiment to the point where it can force legislature to pass the jury re- form legislation.
 But the public is more interested in the measure than in the manner. That bill ought to pass. Its defeat is inexcusable. The old Jersey meth cd of jury drawing makes the jury tsysem a mockery and a fake.
 If President Wilson can force pass age of such measure by intruding his national prestage into New Jersey, power to his elbow. May he do lot of elbowing in behalf of good causes. Washington Times.

best speed battles ever conducted in
Southern California.
Oldfield won the race by his heady
and consistent work. He proved that
he is one of the greatest race drivers
in the world and kept his car in the
running every second. The hard luck
which followed TetZlaff did not worry
Oldtleld. and though TetZlaff made the
fastest ten miles of the day, Barney
was not drawn out, but kept a consist
ent and winning pace.
Ed Lyons in the National made The
fastest lap of the race. He drove too
fast for the condition of the roads,
however, and was practically out of the
running at the end of the first lap.
The work of the Studebaker was one
of the thrills of the race. The little
car was running close to Oldfield right

geance. A downpour OF rain has come
that has set everything afloat, and there
| will come in quick succession stories
of floods in the rivers of the coast,
with The possibility of damage to con
siderable property.
This will call to mind the experience
of Southern California in 1884 and the
winter of 1S90-9t, when practically
every bridge was washed out and the
san Gabriel and Los Angeles rivers ran
riot.
For the last few days il has been
evident that a change had come over
the weather, and the ground had been
fairly well soaked, but the story today
is "A startling one.
II is impossible TO say what the re-
suit Of this storm will be in this valley,
but it would be singular if, with the
great downpOur on the coast, the valley
uld not come in for more rain than it
desires. In fact, the sky today is
menacing, and if The Press was brave
enough to make a prediction, it would
be for soaking rain before tomorrow
