PATIENT SUES
HIS PHYSICIAN

Because he believes he did not
receive proper treatment and that
such treatment would have hast
ened his recovery from severely
strained back, Homer b. Shank
yesterday afternoon filed suit in
superior court against DR.. B. r.
Davidson of Brawley for 50,000
damages.
1t was not until he went to a
doctor at San Diego that his re-
covery became assured, Shank S
complaint asserted, blaming DR..
Davidson for failing to take the
proper steps to diagnose and treat
the patients condition.
Shank asked damages because
his recovery was delayed and his
physical condition impaired, max
ing him unable to follow out his
work as shed foreman at a Braw-
ley packing shed.
Shank's back was severely strain
ed while he was at work November
5. 1881. He went to DR.. Davidson
November 6, and was in his COM

complaint said.
According to the complaint,
Shank asked DR.. Davidson to take
an X-Ray picture, but DR.. David
sen neglected and refused to take
such picture, and also neglected
TO order Shank to bed or to a
hospital, but on the other hand in
! sisted that Shank come to his Of
flee for treatment, although the
patient needed assistance in walk
ing. Between November 80 and
December A DR.. Davidson neglected
and refused to give any treatment
whatsoever, according to the COM
plant.

VOTE TOMORROW

IS not often the citizens get a chance
TO vote twice in one day, but local Vot-
ers have this privilege tomorrow when
elections are held by the FL Centro gram
mar school board and the Central Union
high school board of trustees.
Although the greater part of the tax
dollar is spent for educational purposes.
it IS impossible to get out anything like
majority vote at school elections. This
Is to be regretted, but it is nevertheless
true and it is standing indictment of
the indifference of the American people
to their public affairs.
There is no contest in the high school
election, James Z. Brock being the only
candidate for the office Of trustee to be
elected for a three year term. He will
succeed Frank O. Weir. county assessor.
who declined TO seek the office again.
Brock is exceptionally we'll equipped
for the office. A rancher, with child
ren attending the high school, he has an
interest in seeing that the rights of the
taxpayer are protected and also that the
educational standard shall not be lower
ed. He has taken an active part in pub
lie affairs and should make a good truS-
tee.
There are two candidates seeking the
office of trustee for the Ell Centre gram
mar school district Mrs. j. NJ Adair,
who was county treasurer for eight years,
seeks the office, believing that there is
need for a woman on the school board.
Leo Madden, manager of the Cramer
Bakery, is the other candidate. Al
though a comparative newcomer to Ell
Centre, Madden has taken an active part
in civic life since coming here three years
ago, and is we'll known in business, So
cial and civic circles.
He has several children attending the
local schools and is keenly interested in
juvenile and recreational work, having
been active in Boy Scout undertakings
and being one OF the directing forces in
the Ell Centre night baseball league
which has provided splendid entertain
ment for hundreds of residents.
His standing as a businessman and a
citizen in this community is of the high

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The
mail Of congressman has been heay-
lily laden this weeS with letters
commenting on their votes cast q
week ago Monday on the prohibi-
ton question. The house, it will
be remembered, by a vote of 1877
TO 227 ruled against consideration
OF a resolution which would permit
the states again to pass on the
prohibition question.
Few issues passed upon by con-
gress in recent years have brought
the reaction from constituents
which the prohibition vote has
stirred up. There is some feeling
that not al Of it is spontaneous
although national prohibition and
anti-prohibItion organizations deny
having inspired any OF the mail.
II IS considered quite probable.
however, that in some localities at

il point TO commend or condemn

THOUGH The Press seldom if ever

Of valley politics with w. f. Beal his
untimely passing in San Diego is deeply
regretted.
For more than two decades he was
conspicuous in the public life Of Imperial
Valley and he numbered many as his
sincere friends. Others who disagreed
with him on matters of public policy did
not permit this to interfere with their
friendship for him.
For his stand on the All-American
canal in recent months. Beal was sound
ly condemned by many who did not see
this project as he did. Though this pub
licatiOn did not agree with him, it did not
condemn him, recognizing the truth that
it is we'll to have diSagreements on mat
ters of public interest for agreement by
all merely means lethargy and stagna-
ton. A healthy disagreement. on the
contrary, keeps matters alive and pre-
vents Softening of the public morale.
Frank Beal was one of those pioneers
who came to Imperial Valley determin-
ed to aid in the development of this last
frontier in the nation and in doing so to
take lively and active part in its pub
lie affairs.
his SeINlCt u Imperial county was IlOI
always free from personal sacrifice and
he gave of his personal strength to sup
port the policies in which he believed.
Looking back on the bitter fight prior
to the canal election, one can understand
the real worth of Frank Beal. Ravaged
by disease he fought as best he could for
what he believed was right and there is
no better estimate of a mans real worth.
