AN UNBIASED VIEW.
Comment In Washington Shows
Hughes Speeches Have Con.
crete Effect.

From Washington correspondence
New York Evening Post:
It is idle even for the Democrats to
claim that Mr.. Hughes speeches have
not been effective. Whether or not
they have seemed so to the voters in
the west and northwest is something
very difficult to judge at this distance,
but it is not to be denied that right
here in Washington Mr. Hughes utter.
ances have had very concrete effect
1t is an i'll wind that blows no good.
The rumpus that Mr.. Hughes has
stirred up about civil service reform
has really got under the skin of the
administration. 1t is something which
the president and his political advisers
carelessly ignored. So it is with por-
ton Of Mr.. Hughes criticism of the
Mexican policy. When he argues that
the paramount duty Of the United
States is to protect its citizens abroad
in their lives and property he is stand.
ing on unimpeachable ground. And
the administration knows it. The eff.
feet certainly Of Mr.. Hughes remarks
will be to stiffen the hand Of the ad-
ministration in dealing with Ques.
ton Of protection for Americans
abroad.

HEADQUARTERS

AUTOS

The Imperial Valley Auto Company
has been organized by c. A. Dundas
and R. c. Greth to act as distributors
for Studebaker motor cars in Imperial
Valley. The success of the new con-
Germ seems assured, due to the wide
experience of Mr.. Dundas and Mr..
Greth, as both have been connected
with the automobile industry practical
ly since its inception. The Imperial
Valley business will be managed by R.
C. Greth who comes to Ell Centre
from the Studebaker Corporation of
America. Mr.. Greth has been con-
nected with number Of the largest
automobile manufacturers in the coun-
try and has picked the Imperial VAL
ley as winner.
The Imperial Valley Auto Company
las taken long term lease on the
Freeman building, on the corner of
Sixth and State streets, which is be-
ing handsomely and conveniently fit
ted for the peculiar wants of the auto
mobile business and will be open to
the general public on and after Octo-
ber 10th.
Their policy will be one that has
been thoroughly figured out from a
business standpoint by the owners Of
the business and is definite and practi-
cal, SO as to give first class service
to the many Studebaker owners in the
Imperial Valley. They will run high
class repair shop and service station
which will be in charge Of M. Paul
O'Donnell, factory expert who has
been connected with service stations
and repair shops handling Studebaker
cars for the last five years.
The Imperial Valley Auto Company
has enroute large stock of repair
parts and automobile accessories, as
we'll as tires and, as Mr.. Greth states,
he realizes the necessity Of carrying
a large stock in order to take care of
the many Studebaker owners in the
Valley. It is also their intention to
carry full stock Of Studebaker cars
and yesterday they unloaded one ship
ment of $4,000 worth Of Studebaker
