Vox Populi
Justice Mayfield Writes

Dear Sir:-The recent Developments
in the candidacy of two of the candl-
dates for the office of superior judge
of Imperial county, as published IN
the papers of this city, must place the
candidates aspiring to that office III a
very embarrassing position.
That a candidate aspiring TO Ju-
dicial position, or to the office Of
Judge of any court, which implies the
administration of justice between man
and man; and whose functions are al
most exclusively judicial; would make
any kind of promise, or hold out any
kind Of inducement, to any man or
set of men as to what his probable
decision would be affecting the rights
of any man or set of men, in the event
he should be elected, is too preposter-
Gus for serious consideration; and the
penal code of California, affords pro
lection for the ballot, and security for
the maintainance Of its purity, if any
one who thinks he has cause to re-
sort to the enforcement thereof.
AS TO the question of either candi
date favoring. or not favoring the
segregation of the black and white
children in our public schools; that
would be purely a question of law, that
might have to be determined by either
of the three candidates, and as based
upon possible facts submitted to him;
and some of these laws are so plain,
even to the average layman, that they
are almost self determinative. It is
simply for the judge to apply them,
in the event case should be brought
before him.
In determining the question as to
who one should support for judge of
the superior court, he should con-
slider so far as it is possible, the cam
didate'S efficiency as lawyer, and
his probable competency for that po>
sition and his moral standing.
The question of separate schools,
which has been injected into this ju-
dicial campaign, is one that may have
to be settled by the legislature, OF
the initiative or by referendum. The
courts can only determine the law as
they find it.
Personally. am of the opinion that
it would be better for the community
for the question Of segregation Of the
white and black children in the schools
be allowed to rest where it is. at
least for the time being. | make this
suggestion to any who may feel con-
cerned.
Respectfully.

JONES COMPLAINT

The railroad commission today dis
missed the complaint of H. P. Jones
against the Southern Pacific Company
in which it was charged that the rail
road collected excessive rates on
shipment of cattle from Lone Pine to
Brawley in April 25, 1918. The dis,
n:issal is based on the ground that as
the alleged overcharge occurred dur
ing the period Of federal control the

The figures give us some concep-

bird life and, when we enter the An
dean region, where mountains with
their feet in the tropics fear their

climate changes due to altitude bring
within an even smaller area a larger
number Of birds than has been re-
corded from Costa Rica. In Andean
Colombia, for example the museum
expeditions actually secured specimens
of over 1150 species of land birds or
more than twice as many as exist
in the United States, Canada and
Greenland.
This tccming bird population is
due, not only to highly diversified
and favorable eliminate conditions but
also to the fact that in tropical South

Chicago, Sept. 6.-Senatorial investi

representative of Governor James M.
Cox called as the chief witness be-
fore the Senate subcommittee when
it rcconvenes after four-day recess.
Mr.. More, manager Of Governor
Cox's pre-convention campaign, was
sent here last Thursday by the Demo-

which he announced would prove that
Republican leaders had openly boastcd
that they had devised a fund raising
plan which would bring in at least
100000 for the campaign fund"

campaign speeches, was known as

migratory. They are, therefore, con-
tinuously subjected to the influences
of their surroundings and do not
mix with birds from other localities;
two factors of the utmost Importance
in the evolution of species:
But the richness of South Ameri-
can bird life is due to the presence
of the Andes more than to any other
one thing; and it is the absence of
great mountain chains in Africa which
accounts for the comparati lively small
numbers of species of birds in that
continent. From base to summit,
four distinct zones of life-tropical,
subtropical temperate and alpine-are
found in the higher Andes, and each
zone has species which are confined
to it. So sharply are these zones
defined that, where the slope is steep,
one may pass from zone to another
on foot in les sthan ten minutes and,
at the same time, find an almost en-
tirely different set Of birds.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1920-09-08

Such changes are impossible at sea-
level. One may go from the tropica
upper Amazon three thousand miles
to its mouth and find less difference
in the general bird population than
one will encounter in altitude of
three thousand feet in the Andes.
1t is not only the height of the
Andes which affects birds life. In
places for hundreds Of miles, this gi-
gantlc range may appear as two or
three chains each not less than ten
or eleven thousand feet in height. and
these climatic walls arc as impassa-
BILE to the species living in the trop-
lcal or subtropical valleys they en-
close as though they extended to the
zenith. Isolation therefore added
to the factors of climate and scdcn-
tarness the making of the spc-
ccs, and the three combined have
produced greater variety of brd
lfe than found any area of
similar extent in the world. This
circumstance alone would mage the
Andes region especially attractive to
naturalists, but of even more impor-
tancc than the abounding life is the
fact that much of this life has evil
IDENTIFY been evolved in comparatively
recent years. There is, therefore. ia,
greater possibility of determining tho
causes which govern the origin and
distribution Of life in such a region
than in one where no climatic or 9th.
cr environmcntal changes have oc.
Cured in recent geologic times, anC
where evolution has, as it were. beer

1t is this possibility which has in.

Vcy of the Andean region with par
tlcular reference to it's bird life. As
a result Of the collections and felt

CLEAN UP THE STABLE FLY

Have you ever tried to sleep on =
hot summer night when lust one mo-
squito had crept through the win
dow screen? Imagine your state Of
mind if that single mosquito were
multiplied by 100 and you had your
hands tied!
That sensation, according to the
Bureau of Entomology, United
States Department of Agriculture. is
something comparable with what Il
horse, mule or COW cndures when the
| stable fly is present in great num-
bers.
The stable fly greatly resembles
the ordinary house fly but for the
lance with which he is armed. 1t IS
known that he carries disease from
infected animals to healthy ones. and
there is some ground for belief that
the insect aids the spread of spinal
meningitis among human beings.
The eggs of the fly are laid IN
loose, warm straw heaps and piles OF
stable refuse. A plague of flies al
ways starts from these sources, and
the control of the pest is best man
aged by scattering the straw early
in the spring before the beginning of
warm weather and blowing it under.
or by burning it when the former
method can not be applied.
Stable refuse should be scattered
at regular intervals of one week or
less throughout the season. starting
with early spring. In this way the
first generation of the pest is de-
stroyed and a plague averted. A
recent publication of the department,
Farmers Bulletin 1897, gives in de-
tail the life history of the stable fly,
methods for its control, and some

THE JACK BEAN-A VEGE-
TABLE GOLD BRICK

Savage disciples of Voodoo worship
in the American tropics ascrbe su.
pernatural powers to the jack bean.
These tribesmen plant row of the
seed around their rude gardens in
the belief that the plant will punish
trespassers. This custom doubtless
was brought by Negro slaves from
Africa, where the very similar
sword or fetch bean is thus wor-
SHIPPED. But the Bureau of Plant In
dustry, United States Department IF
Agriculture, fails to support this
weird belief concerning the bean.
Nor do these scientists find much
else to recommend this plant strang-
er from the West Indies.
The jack bean, it appears from
abundant experiments, is prolific
plant. Tt is not unusual for the
seeds in their 14-inch pods of Jack
bean plant to outweigh its own
herbage; and the heritage, if cut
green, frequently crops at the rate
of 16 to 20 tons per acre. This won
derful productiveness makes the
bean a favorite of the get-rch-quick
gentry who seek to introduce new
and marvellous commercial plant
This popularity among INSCRIPTIONS
promoters accounts in part at least
for the numerous aliases under which
the jackbean is known. Pearson
beam" "Wataka beam" "Gotani
beam" "South American coffee beam
etc, are only few of the names in
which the jack bean has been re-
christened.
1t has some value in the South as
a green-manure crop, and there IS
evidence to show that it may be a
good silage crop when cut green.
Cattle do not relish the jack bean
hay, nor do they make gains upon
the ground seed, which product they
must be taught to eat
The bean is eaten by natives of
Mexico, but most experimenters de-
scribe it as fiat and coarse in flavor,
The seed contains large proper
ton of material known as urease
and used in medicines, but the de-
mand for this product is extremely
| limited.
| After all, the scientists warn the
prospective buyer of "wonder beans
to have specimen identified, or else
confine the first paintings to small
areas until the doubtful values of tn,
bean are better established and d
better market provided than seem.
