Public to Realize
SargOn's Importance

So startling have been the results
accomplished by Sargon, that scores
of outstanding physicians have
broken the rule of a lifetime and
given it their unqualified endorse
ment. DIR. c. J. Roberts, M. D., of
Philadelphia, graduate University
of Pennsylvania and for 26 years
medical examiner for the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, said
After an investigation Of the
Sargon formula, for which I was
expressly retained, find that it is
rich in those elements which help
to bring revitalized vigor, strength
and endurance to pale, tired-out,
debilitated men and women. 1t en-
riches the blood of those suffering
with simple anemia and is without
a doubt highly valuable formula
that the entire public should know
about.

FARM BUREAU TO
HOLD DRIVE FOR
MORE MEMBERS

Farm bureau and home depart
ment officers, assisted by the extern
sion service, are busy this week
with plans for the big farm bureau
membership drive to be held Tues
day. May 5, in every district of the
county.
In proof of their contention that
membership in the farm bureau is
worthwhile, they point to some of
their achievements of the past few
years.
One of the most important from
the farmers viewpoint is that of
hay credits. Scott B. Foulds. secre-
tary-manager, states that until the
farm bureau took up the cause, it
was difficult for farmers to collect
money for their hay. Now nearly
every farmer is able to collect at
the scales and tfs Narm bureau,
through c. G. Halliday. deputy dis
trict attorney, has been able to COL
lect a number of bad debts.
Hay grading, freight reductions
prevention of importation from
Mexico of farm products under false
classification so as to escape duty.
increase in tariff OH farm products
imported into this country in COM
petition with local growers, and the
recent initiation of a bill requiring
a property qualification for voters
on irrigations district elections, are
all achievements o< the farm bu-
reau.
Imperial Valley is the only county
in Region l which has not reached
its membership quota, and next
week members from the other
counties will aid the local group in
the drive.
Tomorrow morning, farm bureau
directors and home department
officers will meet at 10 O'Clock in
the court house to complete plans
for the drive.

The Vicious Naval Circle.

Yesterday in the House OF Commons
Mr.. Alexander, the Macdonald govern
ment's naval minister, made a signifi-
cant announcement, He let II be known
that the inability of France and italy
to bury the Ratchet of competition at
sea might make 1t necessary for Great
Britain to reconsider her own construc-
ton program. While Britain. is at pres
ent building only 46,1A5 tons of new
war craft, of which 1855 tons are for
Canada, France has under way 100, 06A
tons and Italy 1Oo,777
Here, in graphic outline, is the vicious
circle of naval rivalry. Americans can
grasp what it would mean if at London
a year ago the United States and Great
Britain had not contrived to come to-
gether on parity. Undoubtedly today,
had such an agreement not been
achieved. the world would be Witness
ing the spectacle Of the two English
speaking nations eying each other like
hawks, with respect to their naval ar
maments, and demanding ship for ship,
ton for ton, and gun for gun, as fast
as one or the other of them piled new
weapons onto the sea. All that, hap
PLY for themselves and for the cause
of world peace, was obviated by the
treaty of London.
The United States is far from I'M
concerned in these European naval de-
velopments. The first lord of the ad-
miralty did not specifically mention the
famous "esealstor" clause of the three
power limitation pact. to which this
country is a party. But he distinctly
implied that eventually it might have
to be invoked by Great Britain. Its
purpose is to authorize any of the
three signatory powers to exceed the
gross tonnage allowed it in case power
outside the agreement does anything to
upset the balance of naval strength
the British, Americans and japanese
covenant for as among themselves.
Britain accepted parity with the
United States on the distinct under
standing that combined Franco italian
naval strength did not outstrip the re-
spective British and American tom
nages. If John Bull has to build be-
yond parity, Uncle Sam plainly would
have TO do likewise, or scrap the parity
idea. America has been doing her ut
most, through informal negotiations in
Paris and Rome, to avoid the widening
Of the vicious circle. If we fail in that
effort, the irreducible minimum incum-
bent upon us is to build the United
States Navy at least up to the treaty
level.
Congress has before it a program
providing for the initial steps in that
direction. 1t should become law and the
ships in question laid down without
delay.

An other States and Canada.
Rumors and Bank Runs.

Washington yesterday witnessed q
display of the panic spirit which, with
out warrant or substantial incitation,
sometimes seizes upon people to cause
them to swarm to the doors of f.
nancial institution to demand the pay
ment of funds deposited there to their
account. Fortunately the institution
assailed by this withdrawal movement
was perfectly sound and in possession
Of ample funds to meet all immediate
demands. Furthermore. 1t commanded
the confidence of the banks of the city,
themselves in a position of integrity,
and the heads of four of the leading
institutions of this character went in
person with funds to persuade the
clamorous crowd Of rumor-ineited de-
positors that there was no possible
danger Of any loss to them.
That this run" upon the Perpetual
Building Association was started by the
circulation of rumors Is suspected. In
deed there is evidence almost Of an
organized attempt to shake confidence.
If such is the case somebody has been
guilty of an abSminable action, whether
or not it is contrary to statute law to
spread malicious or irresponsible reports
calculated to cause runs on financial in
situations. It may be impossible to find
those who caused yesterdays demon
atration of panic in this city. But the
case stands as advertisement Of the fact
that conviction of circulating false re-
ports affecting banks and similar or
Plantations may result in term of i'm
prisonment, and this should be whole-
some warning against such rumor-
mongering in the future.
The financial institutions Of WASH
ineton that are under public super
vision are all in sound condition, de-
spite the misfortunes of other estab-
lishments which have come to grief
during the past few months. Honest
capable management marks them. They
enjoy public confidence to an excep-
tional degree. There is therefore more
annazement when one of them, Itself
regarded as particularly secure and vel
conducted, should be picked out for .
run.
Every possible safeguard is thrown
about the interests Of those who dea
with these financial institutions. Ye
II the panic spirit should sweep through
the community any Of them or all Of
them might be endangered. 1t is there
fore the part Of depositors and patrons
of the well established supervised in
situations of the Capital, assured q:
they are Of present soundness and gooc
management, TO continue to contribute
to their security by turning a deaf ear
to rlmors and reports that are virtually
certain TO be false, speculative and ever
malicious.

The denomination Anomaly

Already in an anomalous position re-
garding the newly appointed power
commissioners whose combinations
were reconsidered, the Senate has now
placed itself in a most astonishing
situation by its action yesterday. It
reconfirmed two OF the three commits
sioners and denied confirmation to the
third, the chairman of the commission.
Had the Senate refused confirmation to
all three it would have been in a better
position than it now occupies in this
discrimination. For the refusal CT con-
firmation to Chairman Smith was def
nitely due to the belief in the minds
of the majority Of the Senate that he
in particular was accountable for the
dismissal of subordinate Official who
Is believed to be inimical to the interests
of the power trust"
This now is the situation: The Senate
has refused confirmation to one of three
men because Of an ofacial action by
him in his capacity as duly appointed
power, commissioner, his appointment
having followed confirmation by the
Senate and formal appointment by the
President. The Senate does not chal-
lenge the validity OF that action ON this
ground that he was not q duly quail
fed commissioner. 1t says TO two of tho
three commissioners, I'VE are con-
hrming our combinations of you anc

The District bill now before Con-

cause Of surplus, the Commissioners
will not have to increase the tax rate
to supply the local share Of these 1892
funds. But this Spring the Commits
sioners will prepare their estimates for
the fiscal year 1888. According to their
statement, these estimates must be
based on either a greater Federal ap-
preparation or a higher tax rate. II
the lump sum is going to remain undis-
turbed at this session, the Commission
ers will be left in doubt as to the
future policy Of Congress regarding the
Federal contribution. For all they
know, it may be lower, not higher,
than $500 900. There may be a dis
position to count on raising the balance
Of revenue needed-over and above the
lump sum-by increasing the local tax
burden, and predicating the budget on
q higher tax rate. If there is such a
disposition, it should be avoided at the
outset.
