Woman Alone Irresponsible.

Los Angeles, Jan. 29.-"Let the
woman do the best she can. The Grim
inal courts cannot help her." These
two sentences comprise the interpre-
tation of the Superior court that faith
ers are not responsible for the support
of children born out of wedlock. Upon
the strength of the Supreme court de-
cision Judge Willis today dismissed the
case against Mike Holguin, accused of
failing to provide for his minor child,
in which no marriage was shown.
Deputy District Attorney Joos said:
"The decision means that women who
have become mothers outside of the
conventions of society must rely sole
ly upon civil suits for the support of
children, and if the man OPPOSES of
his property, or has none, and refuses
to work, it is up to the woman to
bear the burden alone"

high time for business "either to put
up or shut up" and that "a free field

demands of business men in general.
"We are all good sports,' he de-
clared, "and the rules of good sports
manship are essentially the rules of
good business.
"The mists and miasmic airs in
which business has been enshrouded
forty twenty years have blown away

The heaviest winter rain ever known
ir the valley fell last night, amount
ing to 1.42 inches, according to the
record at the experiment station. This
brings the precipitation for the storm
to over two inches.
While the record is not complete, it
is believed this is without precedent,
though once or twice summer rains
have exceeded this precipitation.
In continuity of rainy and cloudy
weather. nothing like the experience
of this month has been known in the
history of the valley, and the condi-
ton is becoming serious to farmers
who are forced to pasture cattle in
alfalfa fields. The great rain has
brought about a swampy condition,
and the tramping of the stock through
the fields is doing a good deal of in
jury.
Merchants are feeling the effect Of
the storm, for the roads are getting
in almost impossible condition and
farmers are coming to town only in
case of absolute necessity. The stage
lines find their business practically
wiped out, and the crowds at the the
atres are greatly reduced.
The end of the rain is not in sight.
Throughout the day it has fallen gent
ly, and there is no break in the storm.
That another rainy night is ahead
seems probable.
One of the effects of the storm was
a washout on the valley branch, which
cut off communication throughout to-
day. though it is expected the morn
ing train will reach Ell Centre this
afternoon, bringing delayed mail and
passengers.
There are reports of damage to ca
nails in various parts of the valley,
the full extent of which could not be
learned up to this afternoon, but
it is not believed the loss will be Sc
rious.
Cotton picking has been delayed by
the rain, but there will be no loss Of
crop.

While the official report from the

Important Developments in Irrigation District Affairs
FROM BELLIGERENTS
OFFICIAL STATEMENTS
From France.

Paris, Jan. 29.-Continued successes
of the French in the operations against
the Germans is claimed in the official
communique from the war office this
afternoon.
The French infantry gained foot
hold in the great sand dunes near
Nieuport and German flying ma
chine was destroyed by the French
artillery.
There was a lull in the fighting at
Scissors, Craonne and Rheims.
As result of failure of the Ger
mans to gain any great success in the
fighting that eliminated on the en-
peror's birthday, the offensive of the
German troops has apparently slack
ened all along the line.

that a local judge, familiar with the
needs of the valley, would be con-
vinced of this.

Must Rely ON Ourselves.

81 am convinced" said Mr.. Rock
wood, "that the sooner the people
of the valley come to rely on them
selves. the better it will be for them.
If the valley had been so organized
that it could have acted, it would
have been immeasurably better for
all to have undertaken to raise the
money for the levees than to have
gone to Congress with petition for
an appropriation of a quarter Of
million dollars.
at we could have gone to work
last summer to raise this fund, we
probably by this time would have had
teams at work on the levee, and, not
only that, but we would have avoided
the attack on our credit by ourselves
in thus appealing for help.
Valley Bill Signed.
eve have received a telegram stat
ing that Governor Johnson has signed
the bill authorizing the district to
borrow 100000 for emergency work
on the protective levees, and l am
going to Los Angeles tonight (Thurs-
day. to arrange for borrowing that
money.
"We have not yet made arrange
ments, but we will get the money, for
we must have it, and with 100000
we can raise the levees sufficiently to
keep the river under control this year."
Is an Optimist.
Mr.. Rockwood's S whole attitude is
that of an optimist, as well as that
of a man accustomed to overcoming
obstacles.
He finds the C. d. Company canals
silted up and in generally demoral-
lied condition, as a result of years of
neglect, but he is not discouraged,
but goes again to the task of the
builder with determination and with
the enthusiasm of youth tempered by
experience of years.

Gospel Questions Answered

ifested in the Question Service
conducted at the Gospel Tent each
evening following the sermon.
Thinking some who are unable to at
tend the tent meetings may be inter
ested to know the questions asked and
the answers given. we give below
a few of them:
q. What is it to be "Under the
! Law" Romans ella.
A. The text reads: For sin
shall not have dominion over YOU
for We are not under the law. but
under grace =
Grace is onmerited favor. BY the
unmerited favor of God our sins are
taken away. The one thing that
points out sin, is the law. MAY,
had not known sin except
the law had said, Thou shalt not
covet Romans TT. %.
by the law is the knowledge of sin. .
Romans 3:20. Grace brings us into
harmony with Gods law: first, by
forgiving all the sin which the law
points out, for which the law con-
dennis us; and secondly, by placing
within us Gods Holy Spirit in har-
mony with His law, to write that law
in our hearts Heb. $40, and so enable
us to keep His law, not in our
strength, but in the strength of the
Spirit.
Those then who are under the
law are those who are condemned by
the law, who are still in their sins.
Those who are not under the law"
are those whose sins are forgiven and
VINO by the power of the Spirit of God
are keeping the law. For this is
the love of God, that we keep His
commandments: and His command
ments are not grevous. John S 3.
And that love is born within our
hearts by the Holy Ghost which He
has given us. Romans 5:5.
1t is one of the saddest things in
this world to hear one who processes
to follow Christ say, when confronted
with the duty of doing Gods com
mandments, Il am not under the
law, = using an expression which
shows liberty from sin, as an excuse
or license to disobey. The Apostle
Paul says the thing that leads the
soul to disobey is the Carmel mipd''
(margin, the minding of the fiesh)
that it lis enmity against God: for
1T is not subject to the law
T. Does not Luke l6 :l6 teach that
the Ten Commandments have been
done away in Christ?
A. The text is: 1.-THE law and
the prophets were until John since
that time the kingdom of God is
preached, and every man presseth into
it,
1t does not mean that the law and
the prophets lasted only until II
John; because many prophecies of the
Old Testament are not yet fulfilled,
and some of them reach forward to
the new earth and the eternal state
Of Gods children. UP to the time
Of John, the preaching of Gods SER
wants had to do with the law and the
prophets. They had no light beyond
that. But when John came he
the kingdom of God. 1.-The
kingdom of Heaven is at hand,' was
The burden Of his message. Christ,
The royal Majesty of Heaven, had ap-
preached. To say that the law ceased
1t the time of John or Christ, is =
cave the world without any doctor of
Yin at all. Jesus is the one who .
'ame not to restore broken law, not
o do away with that law, but to re-
tore mems hearts, SO they would find
he greatest joy in being in harmony
With that law and living it in char
acter. Gods holy law does not de-

BRYAN CENSURES
PEARY PREDICTION
Calls Rear AdmirapS
Speech on u. S. Expan-
sion Almost a Crime.

Washington, April 20.-Secretary
Bryan said to-day that before critics.
ing Rear Admiral Peary's recent speech
on possible territorial expansion of the
United States he had written the rear
admiral for verifcation of his remarks
and received an authenticated copy. Nr.
Bryan's comment on the speech was, in
part, as follows:
"Rear Admiral Peary, speaking at a
Republican banquet in New York re-
Gently, said: we cannot stand still. A
hundred years hence We shall either be
obliterated as a nation, or we shall oc-
cupy the entire North American world
segment
"The advantages of free speech are
so great that we are compelled to &C
cept with these advantages the evils
that follow from an occasional abuse of
the privilege by persons sufficiently
prominent to secure publicity for their
views. 1t is to be regretted, however,
that a man known to the public should
so much enjoy indulging his imagina-
tion as to be indifferent to the effect
which his utterances may have upon
this country's relations with other ma
tions.
admiral Peary does not, of course,
claim to be inspired. He is simply eX-
pressing his private opinion, but his
name, unfortunately, gives wings to
his words. He fixes one hundred years
az the period during which it will be
necessary for this government to Sc
cure control of the continent or dis
appear Such prediction from an OBJ
scure man would be foolish. From one
in his position it is little less than a
crime. His prediction is based upon
an assumption which has been demon
strated to be false, namely, that ma
tion must constantly expand or 20 into
decay.
at has been a century since the
boundary line between the United
States and Canada was established, and
yet both countries are more prosperous
to-day than they were a hundred years
ago. This country shares the larger
part of North America with several
Spanish-speaking republics, and there
is no reason why there should be any
dispute between them in a century or
in many centuries. The idea that ma
tion can grow only geographically is as
un-American as il is untrue"
Rear Admiral Peary declined to COM
ment on Mr.. Bryan's statement, but
pointed out that he first presented the
idea that the entire North American
world segment is the eventual destiny
Of the United States" in a public ad-
dress in London in November, 1903.
