TIE CAMPO SHOOTING

Differences in the accounts of the shooting affray
the Campo Indian reservation Saturday night make
it incumbent upon federal authority to investigate
thoroughly and place the blame for the killing of two
Indians and the possible fatal shooting of white
The Indians, ordinarily peaceful group, assert
that there only armed in their numbers
and that he of their officers. The white Off
declare that they surrounded by armed and
hostile Indians, and in danger of their lives.
Moreover they say they did not fire until they

Many valley residents have enjoyed the fiesta of
the Campo Indians in former years and were disap-
pointed the tragic the occasion took this year
There is little doubt that if the Indians to

proves that the white officers responsible for the
tragedy. their punishment should be as certain and
severe as if the Indians were the offenders.

BLAZE DAMAGES
DE MILE STUDIO
AT CULVER CITY

CULVER CITY, Calf, July 49,.
The Cecil B. DeMille studio, a
landmark or the motion picture
world, was swept by two disastrous
fires last night and early today,
causing loss estimated between
$l50,000 and 100000.
The spectacular blaze entirely de-
stroyed one stage and partially con-
sumed three others in addition to
dressing and property rooms, ga
rage, numerous sets and a large
amount of electrical and stage
equipment.
The second fire, the most seri-
Gus, broke out about midnight, aft
er the first blaze was believed to
have been extinguished. The ORR
gin of the first fire which started
shortly after a company had COM
pleted work on stage No. 6, is un-
known, but sparks from it is be-
lieved to have started the second.
Three companies of fire fighters
from Los Angeles aided the Culver
City company in fighting the blaze
which threatened for time to en-
gulf the studio arsenal, in which
600 pounds of high explosives are
stored.
Firemen concentrated their eff
forts in keeping the flames from
the arsenal and the old colonial ad-
ministration building, originally
built by the late Thomas H. Ince.

the thousands who We're attracted

Three Elephants Run

Newark, n. J.-Three elephants, a
part of vaudeville act at Proctor's
Palace Theatre, killed an unidentified
woman, injured man, caused hun
dresd of shoppers to flee in all direc-
tons, and threw traffic into a jam
Monday when they broke from their
trainer and ran into a crowd of pedes-

by attendants armed with elephant
hooks.
The beasts first showed signs of
being frightened when they were be-
ing led into the alleyway that ends
at the stage door. They charged down
the alley, but brought up short at the
blind end.
Wheeling around. the three ele-
plants then ran abreast out of the

stop them. At the entrance to the al
ley they knocked down a man and a

NOT SO GOOD

The metropolitan or big city press shows re-
cent inclination to stir things up bit, partlcu-
larlv in regard to the make up or the member
shin of Congress- In the last few sessions
things haven't gone along as smoothly or as
easily for capital as had been expected =
iudged by achievement of other years. In
other words, measures or bills, such as the NC
Narv-Haugen farm relief effort showed a line
M not at all comforting to capital or the in
terests
repeal of the direct primary is one subtle
method which might help return full political
power to capital. Another method might be
to have the country force redistribution of
seats in Congress-for both Senate and House
which, if based on population, would give
Overwhelming dominance in Federal Govern
ment to the city districts.
1t is true that twenty-five of our least popu-
lous states have fifty votes in the Senate or
from representative population of, say twen-
ty million people. The other twenty three
have forty six in the Senate. Also that failure
of Congress to redstrbute seats in the House
of Representatives since the 1910 census, as
constitutionally ordered, perhaps needs atten-
ton.
However, there are two sides to every ques-
ton and if agriculture and labor expect ever
to attain or retain voice in how they are to
be governed then they would do well to be
movements for legislatv echanges which on
on guard and think twice before endorsing
the face may appear only just and fair.

CONSCIENCE, THE GUIDE

If some people in cur city let their
conscience be their guide they are
going to void their Chautauqua pledg-
es made last year to the guarantors,
on the excuse that the church comes
first and they feel it their duty to at
tend the revival now in progress
Their choice of attending one or the
other is conceded, but their honor de-
mands that they carry out the pledge
as a personal obligation and a civic
duty. Surely So a year, or Sc, as the
case may be, is not too much to spend
for high class entertainment in our
town, and especially for our children
to enjoy and be benefited by.
Adults can sometimes attend good
things away from home, but our chill
dren only see and hear what we bring
to them.
Let US spend this So cheerfully,
and then give an equal amount for
equipped Fairgrounds, and have the
satisfaction of knowing that we are
doing our duty, and only our duty,
for our young citizenry.

FOOD FOR THE DEPRAvED

Thus is characterized the yellow
quality of the news reports of crimi-
nal and sensational revelations in the
courts. The once boasted tenet of
freedom of the press has become, in
the hands of dirty journalists of the
present times, license for indecency.
The Crime Commission Board of New
York has arraigned certain newspa-
pers as a public menace because of
the sordid details which they place
before their readers. They declare
this offense to be one pertaining to
public morals, and in great measure
responsible for the crime wave that
has affected in such marked way
the youth of this country. Probably
press censorship will have to come
unless some other influence is brought
to bear to change this policy.

THE DRUNKEN DRIVER MENACE

The drunken driver is still abroad in the
land Men get drunk and it would not be
nearly so bad if they got drunk and kept to
themselves. But when man gets drunk and
drives a car he becomes an engine of destruc-
ton. His power is multiplied several hun
dred times, and he is armed with dealing
metal offensive weapons. Just think of such
a monster bearing down on you-flickering
human intelligence at the Wheel but with rea-
son dethroned by booze! 1t is no wonder that
thoughtful legislators made it a felony to drive
a car while intoxicated. And the safety
even the life of the public depends on the en-
forcement of that law. We are of the opinion
that the constitution of the United States ac-
cords any citizen the right to get drunk if he
so desires; but for goodness sake let him go
off into the bushes and stay until he gets So
Der. Then no one but his own folks will care

TOO MUCH MONEY

The fact That seems TO operate
against the case Of Mr. Aaron Sapiro
in his suit of libel against Henry Ford
is the excessive fees that he was won't
to receive for his services. In this
respect, however, he differs little from
the average run of successful lawyers
who have usually limited their fees
only to the ability of the client to pay,
regardless of the nature of the SER
vice.
Henry Ford himself is not without
reproach in conducting competitive
retail stores that have bankrupted
smaller dealers, though he treats this
as light matter, since he received
only a paltry 100000 year from
these stores. How gladly would twelve
merchants accept a profit Of $4,000
each, or a greater number of mer-
chants correspondingly less net in
come, with Ford's competition elirni-
mated.
