CHAPTER XVIII.
On the Summit.

My mental assets would give me a
poor rating presume. in the COM
merce OF modern scholarship when l
went 20 Washington that autumn with
Senator and Mrs. Wright. Still IL was
no smattering that had. but rather
few broad areas OF knowledge which
were firmly In my possession. My best
asset was not mental but spiritual, II
may be allowed to say II. In all mod
esty. for, therein claim no special ad-
vantage. saving, possibly, an unusual
strength OF character in my aunt and
uncle. Those days the candles were
lighting the best trails OF knowledge
ali over the land. Never has the gen.
eral spirit of this republic been so
later. II was TO speak, presently, In
the immortal volce0 OF Whittier, Emer-
son, Whitman, Greeley and Lincoln.
The dim glow OF the candles had en-
tered their souls and out OF them came
a light that filled the land and was
seen of oil men.
The railroads on which we Travelled
from Utica, the great cities through
which we passed. were wonder and
an inspiration 10 me. | was awed by
the grandeur of Washington itself. I
took lodgings with the senator and his
wife.
"Now, Bart" said he, when we had
arrived, 'I'm going to turn you loose
here for little while before put har-
ness on you. Go about for week or
so and get the lay OF the land and the
feel ,of Il. Mrs. Wright will be your
guide until the general situation has
worked It's way into your conscious
ness"
II seemed 10 me that there was not
room enough In my consciousness for
the great public buildings and the pic
lures and the statues and the vast ma
chinery OF the government. Beauty
and magnitude have n wonderful ef-
feet when they spring fresh upon the
vision OF youth out OF the back coun-
try | sang of the look of them In my
letters and soon / began 10 think about
! them and imperfectly 10 understand
them They had their epic, lyric and
dramatic stages In my consciousness.
one afternoon we went 90 hear SEN
ator Wright speak. He was to an
swor Calhoun on detail OF the bank
ing laws The floor and galleries were
filed With what emotion I saw him
! rise and begin his argument as all ears
bent TO hear himl He aimed not mt
popular sentiments In highly finished
rhetoric. as did Webster, TO be quoted
in the school books and repeated on

that they could go TO school. The.
strange thing about IL is this: IL was
Dave Ramsey who really started that

1t touched me TO the soul-this long
delayed vindication OF my beloved
Uncle Peabody.
The senator ate supper with us and
sent his hired man out for his horse
and buggy. When he had put on his
overcoat and was about TO go he
turned to my uncle and said:
peabody Baynes, II have had any
success in the world 1t is because 1
have had the exalted honor and con-
sciousness that represented men like
you"
He left us and we sat down by the
glowing candles. Soon / told them what
Ramsey had done. There was a mo-
ment OF silence. Uncle Peabody rose
and went TO the water pail for drink.

MEXICO TRIED
TO STEAL OIL
lBy Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Further
testimony intended to show Mexico's
determination to force the forfeiture
Of oil lands owned by foreigners was
given before the Senate committee in
vestigating the Mexican situation by
Ira Jewell Williams, an officer of the
Panuco Boston Oil company, who said
who remained working real
lied it was necessary to maintain an
uninterrupted flow of oil for the allied
navies. "Eleven of these men paid
the supreme sacrifice" he said.
Government patrols as we'll as rebel
bands contribute to the disorder of
the country Williams said. Before the
shipments of money for payrolls We're
made an exact statement of the
amount was demanded by government
officials. There have been cases he
said, where the amounts demanded by
the bandits were exactly the same as
reported to the authorities.

The Imperial Valley Press to-

Lieuts. Kim Johnson and +. @.

company, for delivery of the Inn
perial Valley Press to various cit
les in the Imperial Valley by air
plane, thus inaugurating the first

The next time your Press drops

Lieutenants Johnson and Paine are
now ready for business, they announce
and one of, the first bits of business
placed before them was the PROPOSE
tion of the Press for aerial delivery.
This delivery will be to adjacent val
ley towns.
Their airplane is entirely at the
service of the public, for short trips,
trips to valley towns, commercial ex-
press, trips to the coast, pleasure trips
and anthing you want.
Yesterdays spectacular flights

with which the machine was handled
demonstrated beyond doubt the skill
of the two pilots and the safety with
which modern airplane flight may
be taken.
Further particulars as to when the
service will be commenced and de-
tails will be made public from time to
time.
The establishment of the first COM
mercial airplane service in the valley
has excited the keen interest of
large number of people and it is ex-
pected that aerial boatrides will be-
come exceedingly popular.
we are certainly glad to carry the

well as the rapid service in receiving

NOISY WELCOME
GIVEN WILSON
By. SAN DIEGO
Immense Crowd Greets the
President at Stadium ;
Treaty Changes a MOckery
Says President.
(By Associated Press)

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 20.-The Presi-
dents train arrived in San Diego at
1927 p. m. when there was a noisy dem
onstration at the Santa Fe station. An
immense course of people crowded
around the railway station and on
Broadway, the street leading to the
hotel where the President and his par
ty remained until time to depart to the
stadium where he spoke at 5 o'clock.
San Diego gave the President a
noisy welcome, factory whistles
shrieking while the party passed up
the street through cheering throngs.
He went first to hotel, where he
was informally welcomed by the
city's officials. Later he was driven
through San Diego Exposition
grounds. When he entered the sta
dium, the great crowd stood up and
cheered, each moving a small Ameri-
|can flag. In the center of the big
horseshoe of color several hundred
girls dressed in white were so seated
as to spell "Welcome."
'DelusiOn' He Says.
The President also discussed at
length the objection that the Brit
ish empire might have a preponder-
ance of voting power in the league as
sembly. 1t was "delusion" to be fright
ened at any such prospect, he said, be-
cause there could be no important ac-
ton by the assembly without the con-
currence of the American representa-
tive.
The assembly, asserted Mr.. Will
son, was largely debating body and
as such it was only fair to give men,
bership to the British colonies. 1t
would be unjust, he said, to give votes
to the small independent nations and
exclude such great dominions as Can
ada.
Changes MOckery.
Some of the changes proposed in
the treaty, the President said,
seemed to leave it as their object to
upset the theory of quality among ma
tions and put the United States in a
special position of privilege. He de-
clared that to go into the league with
out assuming an quail responsibility
would be "mockery.'
81 will not join," he said, "in claim
ing in the name of justice an unjust
position for the country l love and
cherish. Neither am I afraid of re-
sponsibility. Neither will l scuttle.

DON SMITH TAKES
AERIAL FLIGHT IN
COMMERCIAL PLANE

Don Smith, general manager for w
+. Herbert company, of Los Angeles
arrived with Lieut.. T. o. Paine yester-
day from Riverside and has quite a
thrilling experience to tell.
Mr.. Smith had been up in a plane
before but never had been treated to
all the aerial thrills given him by Mr.
Paine.
The falling leaf stunt, enjoyed so
thoroughly by Lieut.. Paine caused Mr.
Smiths face to turn very pale and he
finally held up his hand for the af-
fair to stop. Mr.. Smith says they hung
the earth on the ceiling during that
stunt.
The view Of the valley he describes
as superb, and after the afafir was
over, he regained his courage and an
nounced he felt safe as he would with

BOOST CANAL
ASSOCIATION
T0BE FORMED
'OVER VALLEY
Mike Liebert, w. r. Lineau,
O. N. Shaw, w. H. Brooks
and Others to be Charter
Members.

To use every legitimate method to
further the ll-American canal bill
now in the committee at Washington,
to obtain proper publicity and to aid
the district in every manner possible,
u meeting will be held either this aft
elnoon or this evening to form an as
sociation of which the name will proba-
bly, be the all-American Canal Publ
city association.
Deeply interested in the plan are O.
N. Shaw, w. H. Brooks, Mr.. Sergeant,
Judge Phil D. Swing, D. F. HARRISON
and Mike Liebert together with large
number of others, who will either be
present at the meeting or will become
charter members of the ASSOCIATION.
1t is the aim of the association to
bring pressure to bear on every con-
gresham and senator in every legiti-
mate manner to influence favorable
action on the measure. Chambers of
Commerce throughout the United
States will be asked to endorse the
bill, prominent individuals will be
asked to write their congressman.
It is the belief of those interested
that the association can fill place not
now filled.
AS outlined at present the member
ship will be general, the fee being
voluntary. Nine directors from all
parts of the valley will constitute the
board and the membership will be a
valley-wide afafir.
1t is probable that Judge Swing will
merely act in an advisory capacity be-
cause of his deep interest in the fur
therance of the canal bill.
Officers will be elected and the or
ganization will get into action at once.

ARM|ST|CE FOR
LABOR URGED AS
CURE FOR UNREST
(Ry Associated Press)


FREEPORT, Pa, Sept. 20.-An alb
solute industrial armistice for six
months was urged by Attorney Gen
eral Palmer to permit solution Of
the economic problems rising from
changes wrought by the war. Such
a period of freedom from unrest would
result in increased production which
would bring an era of easier living and
better times for all. Selfish demands
he said, by any one class cannot bene-
fit even those obtaining demands by
force.
He discountenanced all strikes. La
Dor is asking for larger share of
the joint product Of money and labor
and there is much merit in the claim
he added but the chance of getting it
is not advanced nor justice more wide
ly recognized by the refusal of labor
to produce. His speech was delivered
at the Reunion of the 18th Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers.
He said if men learn to be patient
under conditions resulting from the
war all our problems will be solved.
But if impatient and selfishnes rule
obviously there is nothing but dis
order and delay which can result. He
stated the crying need of the world
now is for peace not merely between
governments but an industrial peace
among men.
