Editor, The Press
In the Imperial Valley Press un-
der date Of June 3, 1887, the New
Cal declares in bold letters that the
power bonds are doomed to defeat
BY what supernatural power are
they able to say with such definite
statement as to how the voters of
Imperial Valley will vote on June Is
That reminds me of the prophecy
of some of the folks before last
election. The greatest defeat came
in spite of the great prophecies of
victory by the loser. and that will
be the case of the Nev-Cal on
June 16, 1887.
In their cartoon they show the
Imperial Valley Irrigation District
and the Nev-Cal in pugilistic bat
tie with the taxpayer in the middle
getting the worst of the fight.
Why did they not show who
would get the worst of the fight
between the fighters themselves? /
wonder is the Nev-Cal has the his
tory of power fights, when the peo-
pie had a fair show for battle?
Every battle has been fought with
success to the people when they
went into the business in opoSition
to some utility corporation.
challenge them to show the
names of the committee who made
the findings about the tangle of
voltage, etc, and the results of
competition through two companies
doing business side by side.
Bonds mean bondage, says New
CAL What is the difference be-
tween bond bondage and power
bondage? If the Nev-Cal puts up
the $35, 100000 that is bondage, for
they must make that sum back
plus interest, principal, and profit
and loss charges.
If you vote for the bonds, then
you will pay the bonds out of cleo
trio charges, pay back the money
with low interest, and no profits,
and when fully paid, you and flu
ture posterity will own the power
system and be free men, not slaves
Let me profound a few questions
to the Nev-Cal and the voters OF
Imperial County need To know the
right answers which they cannot
give and win.
Questions:
l. If the voters accept your of
fer, what guarantee can you give
that your charges will be based on
AZ or less interest on your money
invested?
2. What guarantee will you give
and can you give that you can Sc
cure your $35,000000 necessary to
carry out your offer that you will
not need to refinance before the
time of 40 years expires?
3. Can the present officers and
directors and stockholders of the
present time bind the future acts
of the future officers, directors, and
stockholders of the Nev-Cal cor
poration?
a. Can the present officers and
directors and stockholders guar
antee 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 I'M
perial County.
I will dare them to refute my
emphatic mo"

Scribes Repudiate Confidence Sales
men Lurid MisinfOrmdtiOn Pun
iShed Bans Issued

Washington newspaper cor
respondents have acted to repudiate those of their
number who have been selling oocalled "confiden-
tal information, not for publication"
This action has been taken for self-p -protec-
tion 1t is aimed at columnlsts and other writ
ers who supply to editors and others, private
unpublished gossip or tip services, purporting
to give the real low-down on Washington Off
cials and their activities.
A large goo of sensational. misinformation has
been spread around the country in this manner.
and it a lurd tale about an imaginary
incident concerning the Presidents health which
finally caused both the White House Corre-
spondents' Association and the National Press
Club to take action
The Correspondents Association executive
committee, authorized by the White House to
pass on eligibility of those seeking to attend
President RooSevelts press conferences has
voted to require all applicants for membership to
certify that they are not engaged for profit,
directly or indirectly, in dissemination of con-
fidential information. 1t also has promulgated
the rule that: Persons representing news agen-
cies disseminating of so-called confidential in
formation for profit, direct or indirect shall not
be entitled to membership in the White House
Correspondents Association.
Meanwhile, the Press Clubs board of COVER
nors has summoned member to show cause
why he should not be expelled for the under
cover dissemination of a yarn, alegedly false
and yet so sensational that it would command
streamer headlines all over the nation if it
proved true.
Correspondents who write only news which
they expect to be published openly have been
annoyed for a long time by the fact that tip
sters were peddling fabrications which often
made it appear that the correspondents were
asleep or else were suppresSing facts of national
Importance. Recent revelations have had the
newsmen debating heatedly among themselves
as to the best way of meeting the situation.

ing to the more violent critics of Roosevelt and
the New Deal.
One result was to paint by implication the
picture of a corps of Washington correspondents
subseryent to the White House and unwilling
or afraid to write the news.
There is nothing in the ruling of the White
House Correspondents Association designed to
discourage any correspondent from writing what
ever he desires to his editors or from writ
ing anything he chooses for publication.

~. Responsibility (21:2O-2D.
This incident took place at later
appearance of Jesus to a smaller
group of the disciples. The ire
pressible Peter has, as usual a
question to ask, What shall this
man do?" Il is a right thina to be
concerned about the welfare of 9TH
ers, to see to it that they live right
and do right. But there is in our
relationship to God a primary per.
sonal responsibility, our own lives.
The writer of the Song of Solomon
(1:6) spoke a profound and deep.
cutting word when he said. 'They
made me keeper of the vineyards;
but my OWL vineyard nave | not
kept" Perhaps Jesus is saying tc

that he spoke to Peter, What is
that to thee? follow thou me.
Personal responsibility should be
one of the most resultful factors ir
the making Of manhood. as in the
finding of salvation.

IC-Christ's Resurrection a Glorious
Fact.
The best authenticated fact in
all hiStory" that is what competent
historians have called the resur-
rection of Christ. One of Americas
greatest legal authorities used it
as an illustration of how properly
to prove fact in court If anyone
cones to this lesson with doubts
about the bodily resurrection OF our
Lord let him give himself to a study
Of the evidence He will find it over
whelmingly satisfying and complete.
That is as it should be, for the
resurrection is vital to the COM
pieteness of mans redemption Had
Jesus died and remained in the
grave, his claims would have been
nulli1ed: we should indeed have
been ''of all men most miserable

triumphant faith, Nov is Christ
risen from the dead" We have
resurrection faith, a living Saviour.
Our lesson brings before us our
Lord in his post-resurrection APP
lpearance to his disciples, and a
subsequent conversation with eter.
These verses fttingly tie up the
resurrection of Christ with the life
and service OF his followers Those
who serve the risen Christ have an
inward peace and an outward an

heed lest they miss blessing, and
coming later add nothing to the

BEGINNING of Hospitals

The establishment of hospitals in
the modern sense probably occurred
in Europe during the Middle ages.
Historians differ somewhat on this,
but it is generally agreed that the
institutions conducted in Europe by
various religious orders were per-
haps the forerunners Of hospitals.
It should be remembered, however,
that there were certain places set
aside for the treatment Of the sick
in early Greece. These were more
on the order of clinics than of hos
pitfalls. The first hospital in the
United States was established few
years after the settlement of New
York was made-about 1910.
