JUDGE THOMPSON OUR CHOICE

August % is the date of the primary election
when Imperial county voters will cast their ballots
Tor several officials, including United States senator
congressman, supervisors and superior court Judge
AS tar as Ell Centre is concerned its interest con-
cerng the vote for senator congressman and SUPER
VISOR Is matter of form there is in any
OF these positions. Senator Johnson and CONGRESSMAN
SWING are, however entitled to large as a COM
pnent to their splendid work in behalf of the Swing
Johnson bill, and every voter should deem it his duty
to show his appreciation in this practical manner
The same reasoning applies to Supervisor Romeo
smith, who has given his best services to this district
during the past four years.
The office OF superior court judge for Imperial
county is the only affording contest The ncum-
oent Judge Vaughn n Thompson, is opposed by Attor-
ney S. p Williams.
Since Judge Thompson appointed to the posi-
ton last spring following the unfortunate death of
Judge Larew he has stamped himself as an unusually
efficient judge, and in the vernacular, has made good
Attorneys in all parts of the county in COM
mendmg his fairness, the soundness of his decisions
and his judicial ability.
At the time it became necessary to appoint sue
cessor to Judge Larew the Press urged that whoever
was appointed should be unoppOsed the fall election
believing that in this way repetition of the bitter fight
OF two years could be avoided. Such fights are
good for any community. There rumors of
a gentIemens agreement among members of the bar
association that the man appointed by the governor
would not be opposed this fall though no action to
that effect was taken by the association.
John Stewart Ross the selection of the bar
association, with Mr.. Thompson second. Governor
Young fit to appoint Mr.. Thompson.
The Press is convinced that since his appointment
he has fulfilled the duties of his office in satisfac
tory manner and for change at this
time. Filling the place vacated by Judge Larew
sidered of the best Judges sit superior
court bench-is difficult Job and Judge Thompson
has accomplished it. This alone, in opinion,
titles him to serve out the balance of Judge LareWs
term.
We have nothing against Mr.. Williams We con-
cede him his right to seek the office if he desires,
and also concede the right Of the to choose him
if they wish. But sincerely believe that the best in
erests of the county will be served by continuing Judge
ThomPsoR-i office He has been tried and has not
been found wanting.

4 TIGHT PLACE

10 more thrilling tale mas come over the wires IN
many months than that telling the experience Of Cap
tain Courtney and MS three companions in the Flying
Whale which caught fire in mid-Atlantic an at
tempted flight from Europe to America.
When flames burst from the plane, it was at an
altitude Of 1900 feet. Pierce the plane mechanic
rsked his life TO run to the engine room and turn of
the fuel supply. Three seconds more and he would
have been too late. The plane would have exploded
and the fate Of the Flying Whale crew added to the
other trans Atlantic unsolved tragedies.
Courtney brought his burning craft to the water
where the four men rode the waves with the radio
sending out distress signals and the awaiting an
explosion which luckily failed to The rough sea
made them soasck and the perouSness OF Their posi-
ton must have been appalling. Their lone fire eXtn-
guisher exhausted they could only stand by and nope
for rescue. ~ ,
"The most beautiful sight in all the Worl is the
way Courtney describes the appearance Of the steam
shin Minnewaska which heard the distress signals OF
the avia0rs, signaIed she coming, and put fuiI
steam ahead for the stranded men he radio on the
plane had given out and unaware that the MnneWaSka
was on the way the flyers nearly started another hrG
when they tried to smoke signals. hen when all
seemed darkest the MnneWaska oomed up on the nor
lion and the flyers were safe. =,
Truly a remarkable experience and one which call
ed for plenty Of courage 1t also shows the worth OF
the radio to ayiators Had it not been for this Court
nev and his men must have pershed The Polish tly-
ors lost TO the world this is written, were without
radio This fact reduces their chance OF rescue to
very negligible minimum

COOPERATION NECESSARY

The suggestion made last week by Chief OsWalt
asking citizens to notify the police department when
they leave on their vacations that closer watch
may be kept on their property in their absence is
good
1t is not, however, though it apparently is
in Ell Centre. In other cities citizens take it
ter of notify the police department of their
absence. Particularly is this true in the where
the police are considered in somewhat different light
than in this country.
In the older settled communities the citizens do
not take the attitude that the policeman and the en-
tire police department institutions toward which he
must ever be antagonisc. They realize that the po-
lice public anxious to protect and work
with the good citizen, who always finds them ready
and willing to cooperate with them. 1t is only the ig
norant. those who fear the law, that consider the
police enemy.
Nevertheless the chiefs suggestion is indca-
ton that the Ell Centre police department is anxious to
serve those who maintain it. little recognition
on the part Of the citizen that the police not the
boss of the citizens, will prove distinct asset to any
community.

Utah Company
Learns About
County Seat

In some inconceivablc manner the
Utah Oil Refining Co. OF Salt Lake
City seems not to have learned that
there is a very great and wonderful
and up and coming place called El
Centre, Calf. That is, they hadn t
learned about it until Percie Thack
cr made his recent eastern trip and
on the way acquired one of the So
called road maps of this oil refinery
and brought it home with him. No
such city as FL Centre appeared on
the map. Thackcr's first act on
his return was TO bring the offend
ing map into the chamber of com
lucrcC.
This map shows all the country
west of Denver and lot of lmpc-
rial valley cities. III Centre is con
spicuously missing. The junction of
the United States highways numbers
50 and 80 is shown on the map, but
the point of confluence is not mark
ed Ell Ccntro' us il should be.
However, the Utah Oil Company
knows about FL Centre now, for
Secretary Hays sent them "A letter
explaining FL Centre s position in
the scheme of the universe, and its
Importance to Imperial Valley and
to California particularly, with lat
est maps of the county and Southern
California; accompanied by "A re-
quest that FL Centre be shown on
future maps issued by the company.
It is believed that the company will
hereafter give RI Centre its "Placr'
in the sun = to which it feels itself
rightfully entitled.
Hays reports that daily inquiries
are received by the chamber, both
from the east and from coast places,
asking for information about I'll
Centre and Imperial Valley, their
industries. farming conditions and
commercial possibilities, showing
/ that there are many people who al
ready know something about FL
Centre and who want to locate and
establish themselves here.

MANILA, Aug. g Continued
smoking of the cratcr of Mayon Vol,

perfect cone in the world, : coupled
with recent earthquake shocks, have
aroused considerable fear among

Experts believe that Mavon is
not apt to break forth, but the de
structivc eruption of Taal Volcano
near Manila not many years ago has
not hecn forgotten and the recent
quakcs give point to the anxiety.
Difficulty in communicating with
remote districts delayed news of the
damage wrought by the quakes, but
direct word brought to Manila by
travellers shows that the island of
Mindoro suffered considerable harm
by the trcmors which rocked Man
lila.
At the town of Caminawit il was
discovered that vessels could no
longer draw up to the wharf Where
before the quake large ships could
b" moorcd, today thcr" is hardly
water enough to float small launch
due to the rising of the sea bottom.
The wharf itself curlcd up in a crcS
cent shape, and WAS at one time
thrown over sidcwise although later
righted by a subsequent shock.
Half Of the town itself was sub
merged by substance OF the land,
while the other half was virtually
unharmed III any way. Many nipa
