STEPHEN is ONE WILD MAN
AT TiLLER OF GOODWILL

What night it wasl Pathos,
humor, monotony, beauty and weari-
ness all rolled into one, providing
material out of which novelist or
journalist as some of the pencil
pushers like to call themselves,
might make a "best seller
i was in answer to the call of the
Grim Reaper that Bert Lemons and
the writer, took an adventuresome
trip last night up to Pope, 10 miles
west of inland on the main line Of
the Southern Pacific.
The trip to INLAND was made
without incident, except for reali-
zation of the horrible waste of the
people s money on the alleged high
way that runs from Brawley to Cali
patria. If ever there was a terrible
example of disregard for the -.
penditure Of public funds, this high
way is it.
Arriving at inland we were at
once given an example of the eff
cheney of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, and its willingness to cooperate
with public officials in the perfor-
nance of their duty. Though he
has resigned as coroner, Bert is still
acting in that capacity pending the
appointment of his successor.
a. c. keene, special officer for
the Southern Pacific, met us at Nj
land, with two other railroad en-
povees, Homer Fultz and Stephen
Guzman, and a go-devl" or speed
er with trailer. A metal casket-
like box, used for transporting
bodies, was placed aboard the trail
er. The coroner and the writer
climbed aboard the box and sat
down.
The "go-devil' . was more pre-
tentious affair. Keene and FultZ
sat cozily in two arm chairs rugged
up on either deck of the ear. Step
hen sat between them, acting as
engineer Of the gasoline motor that
operates the car. One hand con-
troled the engine, and with the
other Stephen held rope that con
trOlled brake on the trailer. He
also managed to manipulate flash
light and smoke a cigarette now
and then. stephen being a fellow o.
considerable resourcefulness.
Away we went out of inland, the
go-devilo speeding up as Stephen
fed it gas. The noise of the eX-
haust and the rattle and bang as
we tore over the rail made a racket
that seemed as though ten thousand
devils armed with sledge-hammers
had been turned loose in boiler
factory.
Out across the desert we tore. Inky
blackness to the right and left;
ahead of us a broad beam of light
from the scarchlight on the front
of the car; red crescent moon in
the southwest sky and myriads of
desert stars in all their glory about
cur heads.
Freight Saves Nerves

and Stephen grins as he accepts a
cigarette and trundles that Internal

a sleepy ride from inland to Ell
Centre, and we arrive here in the
wee small hours of the morning.
1t seems only fair that the people
Of Imperial county should know Of
the assistance in such work the
Southern Pacific lends frequently in
the course of the year. Last night
it was one of their own employees,
but countless times it is some way
farer killed by train or found dead
on the desert. Their equipment and
men are placed at the disposal Of
the Imperial county coroner, and
every assistance given him. No bill
has ever been rendered the super.
vsors for this work through the ex-
pense mounts up to a considerable
figure in a years time.
John s remains are held by the
coroner, pending advice from rela-
tives whom the railroadmen believe
are living on the coast. His death
gave us a.weird a adventure, which
we would not have missed but which
we do not want again for long
while. If we do 60 again we would
want stephen at the helm of the
go-devil,' for daylight reflection
leads us to believe that he is a gem
ius in his own particular line. and
"Lady Luck' rides at his side.

pounding Of the car and the rush
of the wind past our heads. Stephen
later said the car could make a
speed Of 30 miles an hour. Stephen
evidently tampers with the truth for
at times it seemed we were making
at least 80 miles an hour. His
faith in the flangcs on the wheels
Of the car WAS something sublime,
but rather hair raising to the two
sitting on the dead box, as Stephen
sent the car hurting across trestles,
around curves and through switches
with reckless abandon.
A slow freight comes to our res
cue and Stephen is forced to sio"
down. We hug the tail Of the freight
for few miles and eventually 1o.
low it on a siding to let a passen-
ger train past. The freight crew
in the caboose know many insult
ing remarks to make about ego
devils' and they make them. Keene
and Fultz uphold our honor.
The express roars past and soon
we are taking dust from the freight.
Stephen is willing to race it, but
keene urges wisdom and we rattle
along at our Old clip.
We arrive at Pope, meeting the
maintenance crew Of which John p.

yesterdays s heat told on his advane-
ed age of Il years. Entering the

His savings and personal effects are
turned over to the coroner and we
follow Foreman Larson to John 5
bier.
1t is in one of the work cars,
rough but comfortable, fitting in
perfectly with the rough and ready
men who compose the work crew.
John S locker is opened. His clothes,
neatly folded, are in order inside
the locker. Little books that he
read in his spare time, his letters,
trinkets, all are placed in his bag
and given TO the coroner. Into a
special box goes his - best suit, -
which has hung on clothes hanger
in the locker. He is to wear it once
again and for the last time.
A step to the other side of the
car brings US to the spot where
Death reigns. The rough and ready
men, John 5 comrades, tender as wo-
men now, help to remove his body
to the box. Murphy, a two fisted
Irishman, says, "God rest his soul, .

are low-spoken and we can hardly

Legion in obtaining the uniforms
needed to give the members of the
drum corps a military appearance.
Al &. Smith, president of the
junior chamber, took the initiative,
and his body voted 800 towards
the purpose, besides a generous per
sOnal contribution. The senior body
arranged to underwrite the purchase
of the uniforms, taking care of the
unpaid balance and making it pos
sible for the Legion boys to have
their uniforms when they march in
San Diego two weeks hence.
The chamber members were much
impressed with the history of the
drum corps, AS outlined by Perkins.
Since November, he stated, the boys
have practieed twice each week,
with an average attendance of
80 per cent. From beginning of
nothing, the musical organization
has accumulated equipment to date
of cost in excess of 5000. Very
creditabIe appearances of the drum
corps have been made in every
city of Imperial Valley and at
Jacumba, it appears, despite the
need of uniforms, and the action
last night Of the senior and junior
divisions Of the chamber now
makes their acquisition possible.
Much favorable comment was elicit
cd at the meeting concerning the
achievements of the musicians, and
the splendid showing which the or
ganization has made, and it was
realized that the drum corps is a
great asset to FL Centre and the
community, and source Of msch
advantageous advertising to the
city and Imperial Valley.

Stephen is a devil of a fellow and
there are Maria and four ninas

How slowly it comes. A freight ?
No, a passenger with the superin-

are ready to start, only to see an
other light. Another wait and
eventually a freight passes, with
Keene playing a light on it for no

ing IS the only sound we hear.
We wait and wait and wait some
more. That light isn't moving a

Shall we take a chance and go on,
or wait some more? Railroadmen

Public Schools And The Moral Code

School will open today The children will be ta-
ken from the more natural element Of free play to
their less natural environment of study with directed
play added What the public schools to our COM
munity and nation not be written in editorials
nor published In books; be sung in song nor
painted IN picture; not be lectured from platform
nor preached from pulpit The influence of education
must be EXPERIENCED What we turn out from
the schools graduates pour into the community
as citizens. By what moral influences and by what
moral standards should our children be surrounded
during these plastic years Of school life?
The first and foremost above books and curri-
culum, far above fine buildings and spacious lawns,
even above disciplinary codes should be the HIGH
AND NOBLE CHARACTER OF TEACHERS A
child not only reads his books and studies his lessons
ne is influenced by the mannerisms the attitude and
the very moral fibre of his tutors MANY children
fairly absorb the personality of the teacher The per-
1ect teacher or the perfect principal the perfect
superintendent, is that man or woman in whom the
child places complete confidence and from whom the
child expects elevatng guidance. When good morals
cease to be paramount to spelling and geography the
structure of education fails.
School boards and trustees can not exercise too
much dgence In these matters such as the selecting
OF teachers and others in authority who are posses
Sed with high degree of honor and obedient at all
times to the recognized codes of dentemanly and wo
manly conduct. An application May be ever SO pro
fuse in its recommendations and truly show the an
plicant to be spenddy fitted for the position sought
yet assduous watching from year to year is a mark
OF prudence which finds it virtue only in its contn
ulty Unfortunately moral character has no assur-
ance of stability
Why should one be soicitous to insure good NOR
al character in the schools? Because the schools con-
tain the communitys dearest and most promising
pOssess1Ons-lts children Every teacher and school
authority who loves his and her profession and wants
to see it maintained on high and sacred plane will
join in full accord with these sentiments Every low

Labor Day

In 1882 the Knights of Labor paraded in New
York City, and when two years later another parade
was held was decided to make the first Monday in
September day to honor labor or Labor Day..
This is about all that is known of how the day
started 1t is Significant however, that the idea grew
to such extent that in 1909 and since Labor Day
has been observed by official sanction in every State
and Territory of the United States as legal or pub
lie holiday.
Strictly speaking the term "labor" refers to any
kind of useful work More properly it has been used
in connection with the occupations Of those who toll
in industry known as the working classes
The day was celebrated yesterday in thousand
different ways. Comparatively few people actually
participated in parades programs, but those who
cid served the purpose of calling to the attention of
the rest the ideals and aspirations of the workers. But
Labor Day has still other uses. Millions merely "took
la day off" which is in itself worth while By some
fortune of judgment Labor Day was set aside on Mon
|day, the day all holidays should be set When the e.
normous economic loss of splitting up week for
sble either to abolish few superfuous soca-
lied Holidays, or place them Mondays where they
belong Nevertheless the customs of the people are
difficult to change, and perhaps few would wish to
change Indeed if holidays Excepting those of reg
ious significance) were observed on Mondays they
would not be superfluous.
Besides the actual ceremonies On Labor Day,
there is another vital and necessary factor in making
possible the proper observance, and that is the press
the press did not year and wear out publish news
stories and editorials about Labor Day. we fear there
are many, many Of otherwise wel-meaning citizens
who would forget what it is all about There are so
many attractions especially for the seeker Of fun and
amusement on holidays, that the newspaper acts as
stabilizing force in preserving the real meanings Of
the day. The same applies to other holidays tho par
Iticuary to Labor Day. which appeals to special tho
Iall-important, class of our citizenry.
Like most other things, we get out Of Labor Day
what put into it. If it has any real purpose it is
to pay due respect to those aborer both skilled and
unskilled, both organized and unorganized, who by
their devotion and honest toll make the worlds wheels
move
