To the Voters of Imperial County.
AT the earnest solicitation of my many
friends, and after due deliberation,
have decided to become a candidate
for the office of county recorder of
Imperial county. In view of the fact
that the volume of business transact.
ed in the office of the county re-
corder is already very large and is
rapidly increasing, the voters of this
county, before casting their ballots,
will doubtless carefully consider the
especial fitness of each candidate for
the office, and for the information of
those voters whom it has never been
my pleasure to meet, / wish to say
that l have had every opportunity
to become thoroughly familiar with
every detail of the work in the of.
flee seek, having been continuously
engaged in searching the public rec
ords Of Riverside, San Diego, Los An
geles and Imperial counties for the
last twelve years and having for the
last four years been connected with
the Peoples Abstract and Title Com
pany, during which time have been
a resident of Imperial county. Should
1 be elected to this office, I shall
earnestly endeavor to maintain the
high standard of efficiency to which
the present incumbent, Mr.. John Nor
ton, and his worthy assistants, have
brought the work of said office, and
l hereby pledge the voters of this
county that in the event of my cleo
ton I will devote my entire time to
the work of the office and will
earnestly endeavor to discharge my
official duties fairly and impartial

SPANISH GIRLS EDUCATION
Teaching Varies According to Class i,
Which Each Child Belongs

A correspondent in Spain quoting
the Princess de Bourbon, Duchess of
Seville, who recently gave her an in
terview writes as follows of the edu-
cation of girls in Spain:
at would be impossible to speak of
the education of girls in Spain in a
general way, as it varies according
to the class to which they belong.
The Princes; has worked among the
schools of Spain and studied them
carefully. She continued: beginning
with the lower class and taking the
little girl at her birth, i may say that
she is always welcomed in the family.
"The poor people in Spain say that
each child brings a loaf under its arm.
Even in the poorest cases the augmen-
tation of the family does not bring
any anxiety; one way or another all
the children manage to live, and they
are hope for the future to their
parents, who rely on their children to
work for them when they are old.
Needless to cay, the poor have al
ways large families: it is Spain as
everywhere else in this respect.
The mother seldom goes out to
work. Even men of the lowest class
have kind Of pride in being the only
ones to work to keep their wife and
children. The poor, woman has. indeed

Upon Congressman ReiI1y's return to Washington he buckled right down to. business, as evidenced by his speech on the nag in the House Of Represen- tatives last night
 Today he introduced a bill providing pension Of SIP a month for widows of soldiers and sailors of the Mexican and Civil wars who married their sol dier husbands prior to January l, 1910, and $20 per month for widows prior to June 27, 1890. The bill further provides that widows do not have to prove that their husbands died as a result of wounds or disease contract led during their military or naval ser vice
 When interviewed regarding the in trodnction of this bill, the congress- man stated that he was prompted Tn doing so for the reason that he de sires to treat all widows of soldiers as nearly alike as possible. The only. way a widow can now obtain a great CT pension than SIP per month is by special act of Congress and then only widows who married their soldier hus- bands during the war and who are in destitute cireumsta are elig1-
 bIe to enjoy the benefits of a special biu- Furthermore opry limited number is allowed each member and it is impossible to take care of all the worthy and needy widows of the coun- try said MT. Reilly He also stated that widows who married soldiers sub sequent to June 27, 1880, are not now fentitled to pension unless they can prove that their soldier husbands died as a result Of wounds or disease con traeted in the service. Under MT Reillis bill this will not be necessary Should Mr. Rei11y's bill be enacted and he feels confident that 1t will, 1t will be a great blessing to many wid- ows in the state of Conn nectIcllt
