NEUTRALITY IN CALIFORNIA.

i The Imperial Valley Press wish
es to emphasize the especial signili-
Icancc of the Presidents neutrality
message in its application to this state.
Not less than twenty-one per cent
Iof Caiiforna's population is foreign
horn, and nearly twenty-cight per
cent more is of foreign or mixed pa
.rentagc About half of our people,
therefore, are related to other coun-
tries by blood ties.
The nations now at war in Europe
are represented in California by large
numbers. According to the census of
1910, the aggregate is as follows:
Germans, 76,208; Austrians, 1880;
Hungarians, 3,126; British, 1871;
Italians, 63,549; French, 20,47O; Rus
SLAMS, 1G,850 and Belgians, 1,441.
1t is also important to remember
that { bout half Of the foreign-born
.PopuE tiOn Of California is widely dis
.tributod. OF the German population,
filty-one per cent is outside the three
largest cities; Of the Italians, sixty
one per cent; of the British, fifty-six
per cent; of the French, forty-six per
cent; Of the Austrians, fifty per cent,
and of the Russians, thirty eight per
cent.
in view Of these plain facts, the fol-
lowing words of President Wilson
should not fall on duh ears in Cali
forn.a:
Il am speaking, l feel sure, the
earnest wish and purpose Of every
thoughtful American that this great
country Of ours, which is, of course,
the fast in our thoughts and in our
heart.i, should show herself in this
time Of peculiar trial nation fit be-
yond others to exhibit the fine poisc Of
undiscarbed judgment, the dignity Of
self-control, the efficiency OF dispas-
sionato action; nation that neither

the only sound conclusion is that these
!non-partisan voters are Johnson sup
porters who did not care to follow him
into ); new political party. That John
son will get at least $4,000 of the
$4,000 is practical certainty.
This reckoning takes no account of
the vote of the minor parties from
which Johnson will undoubtedly draw
support. They are based upon the un-
deniable fact that partisanship will
not be an issue this campaign, and
that Republicans and Democrats on
every hand regard Johnson as q gov
ernor who has made good and are
supporting his reelection upon his
record.

MEN FIGURE
OUT REGISTRATIONS

i San Francisco, Aug. eff Gov
crnor johnson in November gets onl!
one-ffth of the Republican votes an;
only one-tifth of the Democratic votes
he will defeat the Republican candi'
date by plurality of 1881.
And if Governor Johnson gets one
third of the vote of the Republican
party and the Democratic party he
will win with the overwhelming plur-
Atty of 17o,457 over The Republican
candidate.
These are the facts as they emerge
from cold, mathematical analysis Of
tie latest registration figures. The
proof is simple demonstration of
arithmetic.
There is no one among the politi-
cally wise who doubts that the main
character of the present state cam
palg1 is non-partisan. 1t is CAM
paign of the supporters of Governor
johnson to re-elect him, and maintain
the ,ort of government he has given
California for four years. And it is
a campaign of the old-line political
forces, the remnants of the old ma
chine, the standpatters, the reaction
aries, and all who oppose Progressive
government to "get Johnson"
There is no one who doubts that Re
.publicans and Democrats in scores OF
thousands will vote for Johnson in
November. On every street corner and
in almost every group are Republicans
and Democrats who declare they will
vote lcr Johnson. In every community
are scores and hundreds of Republi-
can ard Democrat leaders openly ad-
vocatlng the maintenance of the john
son administration. Clean and honest
men everywhere are for Johnson re-
gardless of party.
1t is the one feature of the cam
paign that has put chill fear into the
hearts of the "get Johnson" phalanx
Politicians are agreed that Johnson
will cut deeply into the old parties.
Their estimates of the Johnson Repub-
lican votes and the johnson Democratic
votes vary, but some observers predict
that lie will poll as much as one-half
of the Republican and one-half of the
Democratic vote.
More than $4,000 voters declined 20
affiliate with party. There is no
questit n that it is nearly all Johnson
vote. There has never been such a
huge non-partisan eve gistration, and
political students have concluded thai
it is q Johnson vote because there is
no possible reason why voter who
is for any Republican or Democratic
candidate for governor should throw
away { chance to vote for him at the
primary.
Buc johnson has no opposition at the
primary, his nomination is certain, and

The Election is Over
 And Everyone is Happy

The campalgn is ended and and THE HoLBRooK NEWS is without regret for any act that was performed or any word that was uttered. It has kept clean.
 It has endeavored to be fair towards all. It has entertained bitterness toward none and has intentionally mis-represented no man or party. It has not purposely misjuged the motive of any man, and if it has errored in this respect, it has committed an always possible error. for the motives of men are almost necessarily subjects of con- lecture, which can be based only on apparent outward signs, and signs are frequently deceptive. Whatever the results of the election. THE NEWS will neither be a greater beneficiary, nor a greater sufferer, than any man or woman in Navajo county. We shall all be affected rlike. It will then become the duty of all citizens to make the most of whatever good condition there may be, and to minimize the effect of whatever evil conditions there may be. For the last two there has been a straIn- ing and pulling apart. Let there now be two years of pulling to- gether.

Miss Geist has dog cart and a burrow. and has made the trip from New York thus far, going about fifteen or twenty miles per day.

Declares Coffee Helps In

In it's fight for prohibition the National w. C. T. U. is now con- sidering some of the feeders of the alcohol appetite. Two. of the most common of these feeders. almost universally disregarded Tn this connection, are tea and coffee ayers Dr. Chaolotte Abbey, su- perIntendent of the New York Woman's Directory of the w. c. T. U.
 Drunkenness" says Dr. Alb bey, "is the result of the child ren drinking tea and coffee, by which the nerves are continually stimulated until a craving for something stronger is formed. Children should be taught the danger of this in schools, as par ents are too apt to disregard the of it. Tea and coffee are just as harmful to children as alcohol is to grown-ups.
 ''The thing for parents to do. " says Dr. E. A. Peterson. Medical Director of the Cleveland public schools. ''is to keep coffee and tea out of the reach of our little citi- zens. The most unkind thing a mother can do is to place a cup of coffee before her child"

necessary, the road should be
 dragged after every bad spell of
 weather, when the soil is in pro- per condition to puddle we'll and still not adhere to the drag. If the road is very bad, it may be dragged when very wet and again when it begins to dry out. A few trip over the road will give the operator an Idea as to the best time to drag. Drag at seasons. but do not drag a dry road.
 The slope or crown of an earth road should be about 1 inch to the foot. If the crown becomes too high, it may be reduced by drag ging toward the ditch instead of from it. If the drag cuts to much. shorten the hitch and change your position on the drag. If it is necessary to protect the face of thesdrag with a strip of iron. it should be placed flush with the edge of the drag and not projecting. A cutting edge should be avoided, as the main object in dragging is to smear the damp soil into position.

Importance of Road
 Maintenance and Repair

lproblem more important than
 that of maintenance. The general impression that there are certain types of roads that are perman-
 ent is erroneous. No permanent
 road has ever been constructed,
 or ever will be, according to the
 road specialists of the depart
 ment. The only things about a
 road that may be considered
 permanent are the grading,
 culverts. and bridges. Roads
 constructed by the most skillful
 highway engineers will soon
 be destroyed by the traffic, frost,
 rain, and wind, unless they are
 properly maintained. But the
 life of these may be prolonged
 by systematic maintenance. A poor road will not only be im- proved by proper maintenance,
 but may become better in time than a good road without it.
 The first and last command ment in earth road maintenance is to keep the surface we'll drained. To insure good drainage the ditches should be kept open, all Instructions removed, and smooth crown maintained. Except for very stony soil the road machine or scraper may be used very effectively for this work. The machine should be used once or twice a year. and the work should be done when the soil is damp, so that it will pack and bake into a hard crust. Wide and shallow side dishes be maintained with sufficient fall and capacity to dispose of surface water. These dishes can in most places be constructed andrepaired with a road machine.
 All vegetable matter, such as sods and weeds. should be kept out of the road. as they make a spongy surface, which retalns moisture. CIods are also ob- jectioncble. for they soon turn to dirt and dust or mud, and for that reason roads should never be worked when dry or hard. Powders or loose stones are equally objectionable if a smooth surface is to be secured.
 A split-log drag or some similar device is very useful in maintaining the surface after suitable ditches and cross sections have once been secured. This drag can also be used to adYan- tage on gravel road as we'll as on earth road. Tee principle in- volved in dragging is that clays and most heavy soils will puddle when wet and set very hard when dry. The little attention that the earth road needs must | be given promptly and at the proper time if the best results | are to be obtained.
 In dragging roads only a small amount of earth is moved, just enough to fill the ruts and de- pressions with a thin layer of plastic clay or earth which packs very hard when dry.

 In dragging roads only a small amount of earth is moved, just enough to fill the ruts and de- Dressions with a thin layer of plastic clay or earth which packs very hard so that the next rain instead of finding ruts. de- pressions, and clods in which to collect runs off. leaving the surface but little affected.
 The drag should be light and should be drawn over the road 1t angle of about 45 degrees. The driver should ride on the lrag and should not drive faster han a walk. One round trip l a wheel track is {
