Two Senatorial Contests.

Among Mr.. Wilson's supporters in 1912

Mr. McCombs is more fortunate than
Sir. MARITIME. in that sympathy has
brought him the support of a powerful
democratic organization. Tammany Hall
knows how it is itselfn-how it feels
TO be left outside the breastworks. 1t is
as empty handed as Mr. McCombs, and
worked quite as hard as he four years
ago. Hence, now that he has announced

him. A fellow feeling has made it
wondrous kind.
Mr.. MARITIME, on the other hand, is
ploughing lonely furrow over in Jer-
sey. Neither the Wilson organization
nor the Smith-Nugent organization is
for him. He must perfect an organi-
Iation of his own, and make it more
powerful than those two if he il to win.
The time is short.

Italy Breaks With Germany.

The declaration of war by Italy
against Germany does not Immediately
or materially affect the general war sit
uation, inasmuch as in effect those two
powers have been engaged in hostilities
ever since the Italian break with Aus
tria year ago last May. Italy at no
point touches German territory, though
it has been quite certain that German
been engaged against Italians, though
perhaps not openly. In the Balkan
campaign this is unquestionable, and
undoubtedly the present declaration has
! been brought about by the situation in
the Saloniki sector.
This declaration brings to an end in
part an anomaly presented by the Eu-
ropean war, without parallel since the
establishment CT an international code
which calls for the formal announce
nent of a state of hostilities between
the powers. Greeks and Bulgarians, how
ever, are still fighting in Greece, al
though the Greek government is theo-
retically at peace with all others. It
will further be noted that Russia and
Persia, officially at peace, are in con
iict in Asia
A break between Italy and Germany
was to have been expected when Italy
declared war ON Austria in May, 1915,
but for some reason not yet fathomed
there was no declaration Of hostilities
Italy was member of the triple ALI
ance, and therefore an ally of Ger
many and Austria, when the great war
began. She did not, however, regard
herself as obligated to enter the war
as an active ally of those powers, in
asmuch as she considered the war as one
of aggression on the part Of Austria,
and, furthermore, Austria had not, in
compliance with the terms of the "drei-
bund," notified her in advance Of hos

Senator Underwood and Revenue.

In appraising Mr. Underwood's atti-
tude toward the revenue bill two things
are to be considered: % His lifelong
and we'll known tariff convictions, and
~ his very recent expression of them
when leader Of the House.
He believes in a tariff for revenue
only. The republican policy of protec-
ton is in his eyes not only mistaken in
conception, but injurious in application.
He has voiced that belief thousand
times. Hence his unalterable objection
to building up a dyestuffs industry by
means of protection. Better none than
one established in that way.
The present tariff law bears Mr.. Under
woods name, and is less than three years
pld Echoes of the debate have hardly
died away. In that debate the demo
Gratis, Mr.. Underwood leading, lambasted
protection from soda, to hook. They
loaded it with opprobrium. And yet
here in this dyestuffs item is distinct
recognition and adoption Of the pro-
lection policy. Need we wonder at Mr..
Underwood's protest!
And a third point. A democratic
caucus did not decree this item. But
suppose one had Mr. Underwood knows
as everybody else does, that a caucus
decree is dependent wholly on Mr.. Will
sons approval If the President we're
today TO order out the dyestuffs item
it would go out of the bill. Nothing
could save it. Neither caucus nor con
ference would be necessary to insure his
party's compliance with his wishes
Mr.. Underwood is exercising his privi-
lege and exhibiting his courage, but, as
he knows and confesses, is beaten. A
tariff for revenue only went into the
discard at st. Louis. The democratic
national convention cast aside the
slogan which for forty years-sinee the
Tilden campaign-had been used by the
party, and adopted that of the repub-
Leans. In effect. it declared that when
we need new industry and increased
revenue protection may be safely and
constitutionally employed.
Old style democrats like Mr.. Under
wood and Henry Watterson are indig-
nant Such thing could not overcome
them without their special wonder. But
they must take it out in wondering. New
times new conditions: new conditions
new necessities; new necessities, new
leaders to deal with them. The democ-
racy under its new leaders is scrapping
a number of long cherished theories,
Free trade is only one. Others have
gone, and still others are marked for
slaughter. The appeal is to the people
and they will express themselves in No
vember

court held, in suit affecting certain

Motor Killings,

CHASTITY entertainment was afforded a
crowd yesterday at Kalamazoo, Mich,
in the course Of hundred-mile motor
race. Going at furious speed, one Of
the cars struck the fence at turn and
was pitched back on the track directly
in the course of ten other machines, and
all eleven were piled into wreck in
which two men were killed, enc was
MORALLY hurt and seven others received
more or less serious injuries.
This is perhaps the most dangerous
sport of today In aeroplaning the risk
is individual, but in motor racing any
one mans fault or misfortune dmperils
all others on the track. Moreover, the
spectators themselves are in danger. At
this same track five years ago a racing
car plunged through the fence at top
speed and killed eight people.
Undoubtedly many persons attend
these exhibitions of life-risking speed
with the secret hope Of seeing catas-
trophe. The element Of danger is the
chief attraction. Time was when the
motor manufacturers encouraged these
speed displays for advertising purposes
but they have realized the improperly
of supporting and promoting exhibitions
which tended chiefly to create distrust
of the automobile as an unsafe ma
chine.
These exhibitions of terrific speed on
the tracks are undoubtedly in a certain
degree responsible for the recklessness
of individual speeders on the roads, who
are continually coming to grief them
selves and bringing death and disable
ment to others. The fact that cars can
go at tremendous rates seems to lure
many motor owners into racing their
machines on the roads with the result
of constant toll of death.

The plan, as described by one who
IS interested in the protection of the
public, is to provide method of re-
cress in case of damage or injuries
The primary object, however, is to en-
phasize the necessity Of employing
drivers who are capable and free from
re ckless propensities.
1t is understood that the supervis-
o. s have communicated with the au-
thorities of San Diego county, asking
for a copy o. the stage regulations in
that county.
BY bonding stage companies and
drivers for sufficient sum it is point
cd out that fewer accidents should re-

FROST SIGNS
VISIBLE IN
COUNTY

The recent warm days have meant
thousands of dollars to Imperial Val
ley cotton growers. The heat of the
day has been instrumental in maturing
the bills, especially on the crest Of the
plants.
Signs of frost have been reported
in some parts of the county. At Blue
Lake some cotton stalks were slightly
tipped but no damage done. Owing to
late planting in many cases last sea-
son, large amount Of cotton was
c,assed as "bollies" and brought from
three to four cents less than matured
product.
1t is not believed that a repitition
CT the "bollies" period will ensue this
year. Earlier planting was done and
more attention paid to irrigating and
c, ltivation which tends to bring about
earlier ripening.
