Senator Joe on the Spot D.. No Bride
Without bridesmaids SUapping
Jndgeship for Judgeship
Thank yOu please.

WASHINGTON. .- The Supreme Court plan
is way up in the air and SO are the Supreme
Court aspirations OF Senator Joe Robinson
The question is whether they will come back
down and, if So how.
One of these days Robinson will go back to
the White House with the results of his effort
to see what kind of a compromise on the Roose-
Velt plan can be worked out in the Senate
Perhaps he will go bearing a big red rosy
apple with only a few soft spots. Or maybe
just a couple of little apples, rather greenish
and somewhat tart. Or perhaps the skeleton
OF a very dead fish on the end of a string
The nature of the Robinson report will de-
termine Rooseyelts future course The
ator went TO the White House night and
said he wanted to be sure the President
going through with the court fight. Roosevelt
said he was. Robinson then asked if he sould
check through the Senate and figure out how
he could best get Roosevelt what he wanted,
after which he could come back with the pro-
posal for approval. The President told him to
60 ahead
If the president can't see enough nourish-
ment in what Robinson brings back he may
give up his intention Of forcing the issue TO a
vote at this session. Or he might accept a
poor compromise in the Senate in the hope
OF getting much better bill from the House.
AT any rate, the word has gone around that
"old Joe" is on the spot and working pretty
hard. One administration insider explains that
there's no chance of Joe being bride un-
less he gets some bridesmaids to stand up with
him" Meaning that if Joe can't wangle some
appointments TO the court for Roosevelt, he
hardly hope to land on the court himself.
Wise potian Roosevelt is wondering what
his big issue will be for the 1888 congressional
elections.
The President is not of the shy, retiring
type SO he hopes to shape the 1888 issue, even
though ne isn't running
The issue, he hopes, will be which will
help defeat various anti-NeW Deal members of
Congress in next springs primaries That means
he will turn to the left for liberal, progressive
radical issue.
Thus far Roosevelt hasn't been able to think
Of a more attractive campaign issue than that
of the Supreme Court and its powers over legis-
laton. And unless he win something from
the present court fight he now plans to carry
the battle over into 1898.
Lukewarm antipathetic administration
leadership, with plenty of Vgor and hard work
on the other side, has figured Importantly in
the court plan deadlock.
House Majority Leader Sam Rayburn persu-
AIDED Roosevelt to launch the struggle in the
Senate after House Judiciary Chairman Hatton
Summers went cold on the plan.
Joe Robinson'S friends explain that he was
"ill' during the crucial period, but the ailment
hasn't been diagnosed. None of the admins
trations real fighters were on the judiciary COM
mittee.

READERS
FORUM

Editor, Post-Press:
I shall appreciate it very much
if you will insert the following in
your Readers Forum" answering
letter of c. w. King of June T.
Dear Mr. King:
Part of my job with The Nevada
California Electric corporation is
meeting people and discussing with
them any matters pertaining to our
operations, our policies or our per-
sonnel in which they are interested.
For some reason, unknown to me,
evidently you do not like us. am
sorry this is so. l have fallen down
ON my job some place when you
feel toward us as indicated in your
letter.
Question No. /: If the voters ac-
cept your offer, what guarantee can
you give that your charges will be
based on 40 or less interest on your
money invested?
Answer: The contract proposed by
the corporation will provide for
grant TO the district in exactly the
same amount as given by the P.WA.
and will definitely provide that 40
interest shall be paid for other
money advanced by the corporation
Tor the construction of the plants
Question No. 2: What guarantee
will you give that you can secure
your $35 100000 necessary to carry
out your offer that you will not
need to refinance before the time
of 40 years expires?
Answer: The question of paying
$35 100000 for canal power over q
40 year period does not require any
refinancing. The payment is to be
made for power generated on the
canal, and if water is available in
the canal and the power generated
it will be purchased by the COM
pany.
Question No. 3: Can the present
officers and directors and stock
holders Of the present time bind
the future acts of future officers
directors, and stockholders of the
Nev-Cal Corporation?
Answer: The present officers, di-
rectorS, and stockholders of the
Corporation can bind the future
acts of the future officers, direc-
tors, and stockholders for q period
of 40 years. This is evidenced by
the fact that the corporation has
made contracts with the Los An
geles Gas and Electric Corporation
and the United States Government,
in the matter of power purchases
and interchange, running for per-
iod of SO years.
Question No. 4: Can the present
officers and directors and stock
holders guarantee to the voters Of
Imperial county and their posterity
that present and future officers and
stockholders will not perform any
act or deed, nor will they permit
any of their subsidiaries from do
ing any act or deed that will en-
danger carrying out their contract
if accepted by the voters of Imper-
ial county?
Answer: The contract proposed by
the corporation would be binding
upon the future officers and stock
holders, and the penalty clause,
which would permit the district to
take over the corporations property,
would amply safeguard the Dis
trict in this matter.

Self-Dietated Ruin for Men of Letters?

A writer in Harper's Monthly re-
marked recently that the American
business man is becoming the most
prolific of all the worlds letter
writers. He writes more letters,
writes longer letters and in general
expresses himself on paper more
freely than any other Of the earth's
creatures with the possible ex-
ception Of the loquaciouS Spaniard.
Now it is this magazine writer's
belief that the cause of all this Is
not 50 much a profound urge for
self-expression on the part OF the
business man as it is the uncanny
skill and efficiency OF the average
American typist. And any mere male
who has occasionally stood in silent
awe Of this remarkable young Wo-
man undoubtedly win agree with
him.
1t Is certain that the most impress
siVe single feature of a great many
business offices is the stenographer
She is certain to be trim, alert
and busineSs-like, and she is more
than likely to be very good TO look
at; and in any case she shares with
such diverse professionals as trained
nurses, printers, ayiators andsteam-
ship captains an air Of cool, un-
emotional competence-sure har-
binger that any upcoming job will
be handled capably and without fuss.

Install a man in an office with
such a creature at his beck and call
and what happens? He Immediately,
and inevitably, becomes o great
letter writer. He could not do less,
if he has a heart. For who, given
direction OF an instrument perfectly
adapted to the performance of a
given job can fail to see that the

BraWley, Calf,
June IA, 1897.

To the Editor:
/ have been working Il years to
do my part in the fight for ALI
American canal power and now
that success is at hand, want To
take this way of calling on every
one of my friends to go to the polls
next Wednesday and vote YES on
REA and PWA contracts.
One thing stands out clearly: Un-
der any proposition of the Nevada
California corporation we would
have to pay double maybe three
times, to develop our power. Under
the contracts with Uncle Sam, We
get a gift of nearly $1,500,0O0. We
will pay only one time for the job.
The power system pays for itself
under the government, without one
penny of taxes.
We need every YES vote we can
get. earnestly hope that each and
every friend of mine will make it
his business to vote Wednesday and
to vote YES.
Respectfully

1t may be, OF course, that modern
man is in the process of creating a
FrankenStein's monster to encom-
pass his own downfall. One of these
days, may not these innumerable
stenographers discover that they
can compose these letters as we'll as
type them? What may happen then
is eerie TO contemplate.
The boss goes out to lunch, drops
in at ball game and forgets to
come back--and. things go along
just the same. Letters are received,
answered and filed with never

He returns, as last, TO find his desk
moved out and his name off the
door-and the routine OF the job
going on regardless. What can he

instrument must De kept busy?
So the business man is driven to
composition. He is in the grip of
force mightier than he is. The
stenographer's notebook and type
writer are inexorable. If the young
woman has to sit Idle and study the
red varnish on her fingernails it is
an undying reproach to him.
Thus we get this spate of busi-
ness letters remarked upon by the
writer in Harper's. A good half OF
them, probably, could remain un-
written without any loss to the
world Of commerce; the rest could
very likely be half as long as they
are and still do their work. But in
that case dust would settle on
altogether too many typewriters 1t
is unthinkable.

in its shy peep of gardens. Most
of these efforts are dispirited little

There are, of course, no formal
redges, spurts of fountain Or stone
benches. But there is somehow eX-
quiSite and torturing beauty in
making a petunia grow in what
was once an ash heap. And in many
windows there is a flash Of tired,
sick faces, looking out upon some
brave struggling plant trying to
