UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE

Once upon n time. as Uncle Wig
gi.y was hopping along beneath
the trees of the forest. trying to find
cool spot where, he could twinkle
his nose-onee upon a time, as | say
Uncle Wiggily happened to fed
something tickling his left ear.
Wowchie, Ouchie!' cried the
rabbit gentleman in playful way,
thinking it was sone of the little
bunny boys or girls tickling him for
a joke. And when they did this
they liked to hear him call "Wou-
chic. Ouchie!
But when the bunny uncle had
done this there We're no answering

pected hear. Instead. Il small but
verat polite little voice said.
Il beg your pardon. | really beg

Uncle Wiggilv turned and saw.
walking along low tree branch,
about as high as his ear, a big bug,
with red and green spots on his
back of his coat.
"Was it YOU who spoke. begging
my pardon'' asked the bunny.

FfDGETING AMERICANS

From a theatrical producers point of view, the
greatest fault of the American people today is rest
lessness David Belasco declares that are fast
reaching the point where place of public gathering is
place of calisthencs rather than of rest
ton and attention.
The squirming, coughing whispering, nopporune
gigglng and other reactions of audiences
have been spoken of many times by patrons and critics
who have had play lecture concert spoiled for
them by restless crowd
The nervousness that has invaded audi
forums is found at private dinner tables in public
restaurants in habits of fussng with silver, moving
glasses, or drumming with fingers and numerous
other little activities that betoken absence of pose and
calm.
Mr. Belasco is distressed about all this because he
believes it will have bad effect the stage. Moth
ing he says, will surely detract from the artistic
worth Of production far the players con-
cerned as continued movement the part of onlook
The nervous members of the audience ought to be
distressed about it because they doing themselves
harm by continuing such habits.
The way to stop, Mr.. Beasco seems to think, is
simply to stop. Relearn poise and dignity, he urges
the public. And to any who inquire "How?" he makes
the obvious answer, "Do not fidget."

FREEDOM TO TRAVEL

Il envy the Prince of Wales" says the former Ger
man Crown Prince. Lucky fellow. He can go where
and when he peases like to travel, too, and see the
world But | can't, can ?'
No he can't. And "Unser Fritz" needn't feel so
dog ggoned martyred about it. There is a perfectly
good reason why this is 1t isn't any accident, and
it isn't any mystery.
The Prince of Wales travel free y and happily
about the world because he in the trenches fight
ing back the Hohenzolern autocracy when that royal
family broke loose in Weer of violence and blood to
dominate the earth. If the Crown Prince had sue
ceeded, there would have been freedom for the
Prince of Wales, and possibly not great deal for
minor folk. With the beligerent Fritz Gagged other
princes who content with democratic use Of the
earth are free to it will and with them such
common people as have the price of a tourist ticket

IRVINE CLAIMS
ENOUGH NAMES I
IN CUSTER MOVE

Attested claim is made by b. ID.
Irvine, president of the American
Conservation club, that consider
ably more than. sufficient names
have been secured for the Utley ana
Conkling recall petitions. In a sworn
statement handed in to the I'M
perial Valley Press Irvine denies
various rumors now in circulation.
The affidavit follows: 49,.
In order to correct the impress
sion that has gone out Ill the last
few days through AN antagonistlc
press to the effect that the recall
petitions have not been sufficiently
signed to file, wish to make the
statement that considerably more
than sufficient names have been sc.
cured for the Utley petition and
these petitions would have been fill
ed on the fifth of August if it had
not been for the fact that the Board
of Supervisors would not call IL
mid month meeting for August, and
as they do not meet until Septem-
Der 7th. it would be folly to file
the recall pelltiohS u"'ii 'he ia''N
part of August.
There has been more names Sc
cured on the Conkling petition than
we have on the Utley, but, owing to
flaw in the recall law we arc be-
ing forced to secure twenty five
hundred names on the Conkhng pc
titon, therefore, the Conkling peti-
tion is not ready for filing because
of an insufficient number of names
up to date, however, the names are
being secured at rate which war
r;ints plenty of time for the filing
of the petition before the next regu-
lar meeting of the Board of Sup
ervisors.

MURDER IN TWO COUNTRIES

Chicago murders run little than day.
If the rate far this year is maintained the total will
be nearly 400.
This is nearly double Chicago's own big average
for the last few years, showing alarming growth
1t said be 13 times great the murder rate for
all Canada.
The comparison recalls the famous fling at the
United States INDUCED in by Rudyard Kipling, when
the proposal up some years ago of reciprocal
trade arrangements between this country and Canada
Kipling warned the Canadians that commercial reel
procity with the States might lead to RECIPROCITY in
the murder rate
Canada as yet seems uncontaminated by the Grim
inal activity on this side of the border. 1t would be
worth while to make careful inquiry into the
for the remarkable difference this respect between
two neighboring countries so similar in and in
stitutions

CHINESE CUSTOMS Reform

France at last has ratified the Washington treaty
for revision of Chinese customs Now the powers sign
ing that pact will have for further delay in
giving China relief in this matter.
The powers have long fixed Chinese customs, by
agreement-amounting to conspiraey-among them
selves for their benefit China has suffered much
in the resulting exploitation of her markets and in the
lack of funds caused by the low limit Of import duties.
With permission TO raise those duties somewhat, the
republican government will have have more control
over Chinese industry and funds TO administer
the Chinese laws and protect foreign interests along
with Chinese interests
The United States, leader in proposing this
form can properly take the lead in insisting that
be carried out in good faith.
