Pope Bened;ct's Life Hangs in Balance
Back in the Senate After
Bitter Fight to Unseat Him

This snapshot Of Tru-
man IL. Newberry was
taken as he walked TO
the senate chambers
for the first time after
the senate had voted
to permit him TO retain
his seat. The senate
vote was AZ TO Al.
Nowberry's case, fol-
lowing charges that his
seat was bought by the
; expenditure cf huge
sums of money in the
election campaign, was
one Of the hardest
fought and longest
drawn out parllamen-
tary contcnticDs in the
history OF the country.
Partisan TO some eX-
tent, it was based
largely upon the law
restricting expenditures
for election purposes.
Newberry's defense was
to the effect that II
huge sums were spent,
IL was without his
knowledge.
His election came
during the war period.
and he won over Henry
Ford.
II is remembered that
two Oklahoma senator's
voted exactly opposite
one another in the
Newberry vote. Owen
voted to refuse the seat,
Harrell to reseat New
berry.
Senator Newberry.
Il is declared, has made
an excellent senator.
and inclined TO big busi-
ness. In his home
state he is considered.
"some pumpkins in
the financial world.
Even thought he now
holds his place in the
senate, there Is much
criticism among those
who voted against him,
and it is considered
likely that his presence
may cause disturbance
now and then.

BUYING LOWER CALIFORNIA

The old proposal TIL t the United
States should acquire Lower Califor-
mia is receiving more attention lately.
There are two reasons given for such
a step. One is of particular interest to
California, and the other to the coun-
try in general.
First. it is pointed out that the great
Imperial valley of Southern Califor-
MIA, which has 250,000 acres under
cultivation and might have three
times that much can never be prop
erly protected without the annexa-
tion of some of the territory below the
border. The trouble is with the Col
orado river. 1t brings life to the val
ley. and at the same time threatens
death. At the border, the rivers nat
aurl flow is back toward the north,
into the Gulf of Mexico. by mud dam
at the northern end of yalcano Lake.
This barrier, engineers say, will not
permanently remain effective. The slit
carried by the river is raising the lev
ell Of the lake and threatens gener-
al inundation some day. There is
need of enlarging this dam, and con-
structing permanent restraining
work at the place where the river
leaves its original channel and flows
toward the. lake.
But both of these dam sites are in
Mexican territory, and the United
States government is therefore ham
ipered in carrying out the requisite
plans. Why, it is urged, should not
Lower California be bought, SO as to
facilitate the development of this
area north of the present boundary
worth more than the whole peninsula ?
1t would be impossible, too, for Ameri-
cans to develop some OF the lo'ia Ne
low the line, which it isn't likely tbs
MexicAns will even utilizss51 n f
The other reason is mainly strateg.
-. he ownership of 'Ir3*9r A,slffci
mia would give us a continuous stretch
of territory down. the coast 500 miles
nearer the Panama canal, strengthen
