Six men have been fined on plain
charges of assault and battery as
the result of 6,144 criminal charges
contained in the famous and infa-
nous Marion county election indict-
ments. This is the net result of
eXpending 100000 of the states
money to satisfy the vicious pur-
poses of the Illinois owner of an
Indianapolis newspaper. in his ambi-
ton TO destroy the lives and prop
erty of all Indiana men, women,
children, communities and corpora
tons that refuse TO do his bidding,
and to aid the republican state ma
chine TO find some issue on which
to oppose the democratic candidates
for state offices in 1916. All the
criminal charges having been dis
missed because there never was &
syllable of evidence on which to in
diet o. try a single case, six men
have been fined for assault and bat
tery-a cost of $4,000 of the states
money for each case, for ordinary
police court assault and battery
cases. The only other conspicuous
thing remaining is the public record
of unanswered charges of the most
outrageous case Of subOrning perjury

Fighting for Peace.

Washington, June 2S.-Still stand
ing between the nations, fighting to
the last to maintain peace even when
every other person has abandoned
hope, is President Wilson.
And yet, while still working for
peace, the machinery of government
is bringing forth an army such as
this country has not seen for fifty
years, and this army is being concen-
trated at points of vantage on the
border with remarkable speed, ready
before the end of this week to throw
hundred thousand men across the
border if necessity requires.
The border patrol, with many gaps
a week ago, is now practically COM
plete all the way from the Gulf of
Mexico to the Pacific ocean, and raids
onto American soil are becoming al
most an impossibility because of the
vigilance maintained.
Whether there is to be war or not
and it seems impossible that it shall
be avoided-a series of lessons in the
organization of an army and in the
shortcomings of this as a war nation
are being well illustrated.
While the details are not made pub
lie, it is known that the government

Strong Appeal

CONTINUED FROM PAGE TWOl
the past month or two, you will see
how the "tip" to avoid the "hard ride"
over the San Diego-Imperial Valley
highway is being spread broadcast.
Los Angeles houses and salesman are
taking full advantage of the situation
to go after Valley trade that San
Diego should have. A truck, that was
SO common last summer, is almost a
curiosity on the road out here now
especially if loaded with goods from
San Diego houses.
"A leading article by yourself, or
editorial or two in the Union, would
do great deal of good just now. Val
ley people are looking to San Diego,
many of them, even yet. Let them
have something better than the un-
answerable argument of silence, Oh
a 3-inch promise, buried on a back
page. 1t will be like bread cast on
the waters. Very respectfully,
81. E. M'DONALD."
To this Mr.. Moulton has respond
ed as follows:

DATO SEES CHIEF
AT TIA JUANA

Calexico Chronicle: Paul Dato, close
ly connected with the Mexican gov
eminent in Lower California across
the line, has just returned from a
trip to Los Angeles, San Diego and
Tia Juana. At Tia Juana he held a
conference with Colonel Esteban Can
tu, military governor of Baja Cali
fornia.
Mr.. Dato declares that conditions
all along the Lower California border
line are quiet On both sides of the
line.
He stated emphatically that peace
full conditions would continue. to exist
across the line in Mexicali and that
the idea of starting trouble of any
nature is extremely far removed from
the minds of anyone connected with
the government there.
Colonel Cantu expects to remain at
Tia Juana for few days, he states,
and from there will go to Ensenada.
Just how long he will remain away
Mr.. Dato was unable to state, as Col
onel Cantu, it is understood, is not
definitely decided in that respect him
self.
Colonel Cantu is accompanied by a
number of his staff officers and some
soldiers from the cuartel at Mexicali.
1t seems more than likely that he
will be home in the course of week
or two, however, unless there is some
radical change in his original plans
when he left Mexicall Tor the coast.
