ISSUE
 ARGUED BEFORE
 FEDERAL COURT
Truitt Demurs to Petition for Writ in Mothers
 Penson Suit Here

Appearing for Gov. John w Troy in the Federal district court last Saturday, J. s. Truitt, Terri torial Attorney General, filed a general demurrer against peti- ton filed by Mrs. Lilly Scott for an alternative writ of mandamns directing the Governor to pay Mrs Scott an allowance from the Alas ka Mothers Pension Fund
 Oral arguments on the demurr- CT were heard by Judge George F. Alexander who gave William l. Paul, Mrs. Scott's counsel, time to file brief and took the matter under advisement.
 Mrs. Scott is a local Indian who is an application for a Mothers Pen sion for four minor children whom, she alleged, are not eligible to re- ceive aid from the Federal Inter for Department. The Governor re- jected the application on the ground children are eligible for Federal aid and, therefore, his of- flee could not extend the Terri torial aid sought. The Territorial statute limits payments of Mothers Pensions as well as Old Age AL 1owances to persons not eligible to receive assistance from the Interior Department.

POLITICAL PICTURE IS UNCHANGED

The feet that every few days bring news of another political get-together does not mean that actual progress always results from these conferences.
 Neither the private dinner giv- en in Washington on March 31 by outstanding Democrats nor the various consultations held by for mer President Hoover in the west and southwest produced evidence of having changed the political picture at all
 Mostly, the present political talk is just talk. The 1884 is sues and policies still promise to be made largely by piecemeal ac- ton in the various Congressional districts, and 1886 is, under pres ent disturbed conditions, far away

SANDERS AND FARLEY

Transfer of Republican cam paign responsibility from the Ma tional Committees sidetracked but did not entirely eliminate move to supplant Everett Sanders as National Chairman.
 Those who want a new Chair man argue that the Hoover wing, with which Sanders has been iden- tified, cannot hope to effect a re- organization representing the will of all factions. Not so much is heard about that, now that San ders and his National Headquar- ters have ben put more or less on the sidelines, but it is a sub ject certain to come up again later
 Among the Democrats, the lat est indications are that Postmas- ter General James A. Farley will stay on for some time as Ma tional Chairman. He has com mitted himself to no specific re- tirement date. and talk of the possible impropriety of his hold ing both a party and public of- flee is subsiding.
 Of course he is expected to get out eventually. even if it is af- ter the fall elections. For the mo- ment, the difficulty seems to be to find someone who could take over the chairmanship, without friction and complications, jus f as the campaign is beginning.

on THE RIGHT TRACK

In laying plans to make war undesir-
able by taking the profits out of it, Pres
ident Roosevelt will have the backing of
the rank and file of the country In fact,
his only real opposition will come from
the professional politicians and some of
the munitions makers, though even some
of the latter appear inclined to play
ball"
Years ago the American Legion pro-
posed that in any future war all resourc-
es of the country should be drafted, the
same as man power was drafted in the
last war. 1t declared there was no JUS
tice in asking men to risk their lives in
the trenches for dollar day while
others remained at home in safety to
make eight and 10 dollars a day in the
munitions factories or shipyards.
Universal mobilization, as it was des-
lgnated, was none too warmly received at
first, but support for it has been increas-
ing through the years.
The Presidents action in calling a con-
ference yesterday to consider how the
nation should act in event it should again
be called into war, is the first definite
step toward universal mobilization. Mr..
Roosevelt proposes to work out defin-
ite plan of legislation which would be
ready to become operative when the ne
ceSSlty Tor Ii arises. MOST OF us can re-
member the confusion that existed when
the nation entered the World war Only
the fact that the administration and the
majority of congress were of the same
political party, made it possible to push
through the legislation necessary to pros
ecute the war. The President hopes to
avoid any such recurrence in the future.
Opposition to his conference is voiced
b. Senators Nye and Vanderman, not
that they are not in favor of curbing war
profits, but because they believe this mat
ter rests with congress and they openly
expressed resentment at the President
assuming prerogative belonging to con-
gress, when he took the lead in the fight
against profiteering.
The investigation being conducted by
the senate's special committee on NUM-
tions makers is doing good work but it
is an open question if the conference
called by the President will conflict with
it in any way. In fact there seems to be
little reason why both can't work to-
g&her for a common object. We believe
the real cause for peeve by Senators Nye
and Vanderman is that the President has
taken the spotlight away from them. But
then, isn't a President entitled to the
chief role?

UNCLE WIGGILY's COW BELL

Not far from Uncle Wiggily's
hollow stump bungalow was field
in which lived many cows, The
COWS did not live in the field all
the while now, as they did in Sum-
mer when there was no ice or
snow. The cows only stayed in
the field during the day in Win
ter. Sometimes the farmer would
bring his COWS something to eat
while they were in the field-cut-
up pumpkins or stalks that
had been kept moist and green in
sort of refrigerator. called Silo
and other things that COWS like to
eat.
At night the COWS went in q
warm stable, where they gave
milk to the farmers wife. She
made the milk into butter or
cheese or into puddings, custards
or cakes.
Uncle Wiggily often hoped
across the COW field in Winter
looking for an adventure. 1t was
ed with trees and part with thick
bushes in which, sometimes, the
COWS would hide SO the farmers
boy couldn't find them to drive
them back to the warm stable for
the night.
Easy to Find
In order that the cows might be
more easily found when they went
TO hide amid the trees or bushes OF
the field, the farmers boy had
fastened bells around the COWS
necks. The bells dangled from a
strap, and whenever a COW walk
ed the bell rang. Thus it was
easy to find them.
One day when Uncle Wiggily
was hopping over the COW field
looking for an adventure he saw
the herd of COWS standing out in
the middle Of the pasture, where
there were no trees or bushes. The

Bell Made From Can
"Oh. thank you, so much! !"
mooed the COW. But though Uncle
Wiggily looked and looked and
looked under many bushes. he
couldn't find the lost bell. All he
found was an old tin can, stone
and piece of string.
But / can make you a bell out
of the can, the stone and the
string" said Uncle Wiggily to the
COW.
"Oh, hardly think so" mooed
the COW.
But Uncle Wiggily did. He
punched hole in the bottom of
the can, which was open on the
other end. Through the hole he
put a piece of string with stone
tied to it like bell clapper. With
the rest of the string the rabbit

A FINE APPOINTMENT

Reappointment of Rodney Clarke, as
undersheriff of Imperial county, we feel
sure, will meet with the full approval Of
all who have any contact or connection
with the sheriff S department, and The
Press congratulates Sheriff-elect Ware in
retaining a highly efficient and capable
man in office.
Clarke is a peace officer and a good
one. He has filled the post he now oc-
cupies in highly creditable manner for
several years and by strict attention to
his duties, has won the respect and best
wishes of all who come in contact with
him.
Press representatives have met him
almost daily over period of years in the
course of their work and have always
found him courteous, obliging and con-
siderate to all. His efficiency and abil-
ity are marked.
Clarke is not given to talking or pos
ing. He has thorough appreciation of
the good. homely old maxim of minding
ones business and doing a good days
work.
E'here is nothing of the domineering,
impressed-with- his s-own-importance atti-
tude, so often found in police officials,
about Clarke. He is the same toward all,
firm and human with the most hard
boiled prisoner who may come under his
Jurisdiction and equally considerate of
the most important citizen or the lowli-
est foreigner who may have business
with him.
He has never sought the spotlight and
will probably be embarrassed to find it
played upon him in this fashion but he
deserves it.
Sheriff Ware will be the third such Of
ficer under whom Clarke has worked.
All have found him faithful, loyal and
conscientious, and Mr.. Ware will find him
the same.
