~CPEAKING of the $4,000 state
~ house cleaning contract re-
minds me of the horse Ed Jackson
sold D. G. Stephenson, and that
brings TO mind that I didn't even
know Senator Arthur r. Robinson
was out of the country until I read
where he was visiting in China"
said the occupant Of the softest seat
In the Claypool lobby.
That's right" spoke up the fell
low in the next softest seat. Its
funny how we don't miss him at all
while whenever there is some po-
litical talk Jim Watson's name will
bob up a dozen times"
There can be nothing surprising
in this lack of interest in Robin
son when the national head of the
party, President Herbert Hoover,
praised each Of the Republican con-
gressmen including Watson by name
and then added a remark about
your junior senator" in which he
said:
you Of Indiana all know the
strength and quality of your junior
senator"
1t was not necessary for the voice
in the audience to add: and how"
Although Robinson's name was
omitted in the spoken address it
was typed in in the written state
ment later handed to the press.
Robinson, beyond a doubt. has
played in better luck than a man
with marked deck who is doing all
the dealing.
He was not candidate in 1880
when the state went overwhelming
ly Democratic, and he won't have
to run in 1882 when the full effect
of the depression is expected to be
reflected in the anti-Republican
vote. BY 1884, when his term ex-
pires, the tide may be flowing the
other way.
Robinson's junket at the expense
of the nation took him completely
out Of the political picture, and by
judicious absences he may be saved
from becoming committed to one or
the other candidates for the nomi-
nation for Governor. Thus keep
ing himself out of entangling alli-
ances.
II
His bet, it has been pointed out, is
to sit back and hope for Watson's
defeat in the 1892 election, which
will give him chance to assume
the dictators role in Indiana Re-
publican politics.
But even if Watson is defeated,
his power will still be felt in 1894
and if he does not care to pit him
self against Robinson personally for
the senatorial nomination he is sure
to run in a strong candidate, who
may defeat the junior senator.
For after all, although forced to
support Robinson in the 1928 cleo
ton the majority of Republicans
leaders in Indiana feel that Robin
son is Junior" in more sense than
one.

comes to Ell Centre each year that has
a particularly popular appeal.
1t is the call of the American Brother
hood of Free Reading for the Blind.
For several years past this organiza-
ton has asked Ell Centre people for help
and in each instance the response has
been most generous.
The brotherhood uses the funds it col
lects to supply reading matter in the
Braille (raised type) system for the
blind.
All of us read. All of us can appre-
ciate what this means to us, but few can
realize what it means to be deprived of
sight The sight of loved ones, the beau
ties of nature, the thousand and one joys
available to the rest of US, are denied to
the blind. They can, however, enjoy our
books, through the wonderful system of
reading invented for them
Since the brotherhood was organized
as non-Sectarian and purely philan-
thropical society in 1920, it has distrib-
uted over 5000 volumes to the blind, of
whom there are over 100000 in the Unit
ed States
This year the society hopes to obtain
permission to print the valleys own
story, THE Winning of Barbara Worth,
with the money received here. Surely
this should have particular appeal to
valley residents, in addition to the wish
to help those less fortunate than our
selves.
Saturday the brotherhood will sell
flowers made by the blind. They will
be exchanged for whatever sum those
purchasing them feel like they can spare
for this meritorious work.
The committee in charge of the sale
is composed of local residents, all of
whom are known in this community. We
bespeak the kind generosity of all for the
flower sale and feel confident its appeal
will be cheerfully answered.

A FRIENDA4T COURT
w. c. COSTELLO,
Manager

Appointment of Senator Nelson I.
Edwards of Orange as chairman Of the
roads and highways commission OF the
senate, is sure to meet the approval of
Imperial Valley residents, the senator
being from the district in which Imperial
county is included and also we'll remem-
bered for his good work as a former
member of the state highway commission.
During his term as commissioner Sena-
tor Edwards was keenly interested in the
betterment of Imperial Valley road con-
ditions and it was largely through this IN
terest that the Yuma and Los Angeles
routes were brought to their present
modern state.
The senator knows the Importance of
Highway No 80, of which the Yuma high
way is a part and which has its western
terminus at San Diego. Portions of this
road between Ell Centre and San Diego
are as yet unpaved The paved portion
between Holtville and Yuma is in need of
widening.
There is every reason to believe that the
senator will give his attention to having
these defects remedied. He knows roads
and realizes the necessity of having the
main southern entry into California IN
good condition. This artery is of vital
Importance and bears the major portion
of traffic bound from the east into Cali
fornia.
With Senator Nelson once again active
ly interested in good roads, Imperial Val
lev may rest assured that its interests
will not be overlooked.
