"But not fruitless one. l went
out to capture very wild horse and
managed at last to coax him into
the corral"
Dry old Don Ramon interposed
an inpudent question. "What did
your wild horse coax you into?"
Carmen met the attack without a
tremor. Nothing to speak of. The
important thing is, California can
count one more caballero. Don Hen
ry Bowie is coming back to Guada-
lupe."
Dona Maria rose to her feet, clap
ping her hands. "Glorious!"
"He has promised to stay"
"Better and better"
"But, of course" continued Car
men blandly, ''you never can tell
about really wild horses"
"They are serviceable only when

Don Ramon dispassionately. "Fe-

observed, addressing Bowie.

A certain actor was fond of tell

part. He would show them some
real acting.
Eventually he was booked for
coming production. He was to ap-
pear in a scene and say: cit is"
For three weeks he rehearsed
nightly before his mirror, trying
all sorts of gestures, expressions,
tones, until he felt perfect.
The eventful night arrived. The
actor impatiently waited his cue.
1t came. "And so this is the end?"
With his best tragedian air he
stalked to the center of the stage,
and in a voice of thunder cried:

veteran promised to come and
dance at the wedding.
A week went before Bowie, very
impatient, could get back to Quad
alupe. Fortunately, in the circum-
stances, he reached the rancho in
the evening. The night was clear.
A full moon was rising over the
mountains, and just within the patio
a slender girlish figure, wearing the
very highest of her combs and
draped in her most elaborate Chi
nese shawl, waited to greet him.
"Three nights she whispered
when she could catch breath to
speak, "three nights I have waited
here long, long for you. Wicked
Tejano, to keep a poor, poor girl
shivering out here in the cold. You
need not make excuses. I know
you just forgot me. How are you,
querido? And now that you have
what you call it-a job, you must
ask Don Ramon in the morning for
his daughters hand-if you think her
worth it. I, myself, don't. But I
have heard it said that there is no
accounting for tastes"
Don Ramon made the asking easy
for Bowie. eff Carmen had done
as l wished she would have been
yours long ago. You are welcome
to my household, Senior Bowie. I
trust you two may be happy to-
gether and may provide for Quad
alupe the descendants for which
my wife and I have vainly longed."
The betrothal was made an occa-
sion of festivity at the rancho, Gull
minating in formal dinner to which
Padre Martinez and his assistant
and Aunt Ysabel from Monterey
were summoned. The household and
the guests sat at table late and had
gathered in the living room with a
fire in the huge fireplace.
While the talk went on Felipe
came in to whisper a message to-
Bowie. He excused himself and was
gone only few minutes. When he
returned Carmen looked at him
questioningly, but he ignored all
curiosity concerning his absence
from the room and no one asked
further.
1t was only when he and Carmen
were alone after the guests had left
and he was bidding her good night
that he answered her question.

Doane. Felipe will put him up for

"But what did he want?"
"He brought message from the

Bowie was in Monterey next day
on business. His business was with
Ben Pardaloe. When they had fin
ished their conference Ben had en-
gagged to return to Guadalupe. A
fortnight later Bowie was riding
along the river with Carmen. She
had asked to visit the quarter of

Speed of Torpedoes

Most modern type torpedoes can
be adjusted before being launched,
making their speed vary accord
ing to the distance they are to
travel. For instance, the most
powerful types-about 81 inches in
diameter and more than 20 feet
long-can travel through water for
approximately six miles at max
imum speed of 80 miles an hour
before their power is spent. If
adjusted for a shorter distance,
however, the same torpedo will
travel for one, two or three miles
at speed of 40 miles or better

MEMBER
THEY DON'T WANT BOTH
SIDES OF THE PICTURE

True TO form, the LaFollette senate
civil liberties investigating committee
this week made haste to drop an inquiry
into Imperial Valley farm labor troubles
when testimony went contrary to the
committees leftist desires.
Had the shoe been on the other foot
had labor agitators and troublemakers
been able to place Imperial Valley in an
undesirable light in the publicity glare
furnished by the committee-the hearing
into Imperial Valley affairs would still
be going on.
The LaFollette committee has proven
conclusively, beyond any doubt, that it
is not interested in an impartial picture
of industrial or agricultural labor con-
ditions. 1t wants the radical side of the
picture or none at all. 1t wants the world
TO believe that there is no justice except
in the left-wing claims of agitators
1t would be far fetched to say the COM
mittee is working Intentionally for Com
munism, but it is certainty that the
committee is helping out the Communists
no end.
For the showing made by Imperial
Valley men who testified before the COM
mittee, the valley should be grateful. The
leaders among them, District Attorney
Elmer w. Heald, Sheriff Robert w Ware
Supervisor Hugh Osborne, G. G. Ben
nett, Charles Nice and Others conducted
themselves in Los Angeles in a way the
valley can be proud of Their testimony
straightforward and logical, convinced
LaFollette that he was on the wrong
track considering the kind of thing he
evidently wanted
Perhaps Imperial Valley will feature
again in testimony before the LaFolette
committee but if it does it will be when
here is nobody there to answer the
charges made by radical witnesses er
their sympathizers.
The chances are, however, that the
valley men who did testify did such
good job of presenting their side of the
picture that any further efforts, by the
LaFollette committee at least, to dis
credit the valley will be half-hearted and
luke warm.
Imperial Valley press., 1940-01-19
TRACING THE RADICAL
THREAD THRU IT ALL

Those who followed LaFollette COM
mittee testimony about Imperial Valley
were struck by one outstanding fact
Every bit Of testimony before every
left wing Investigator or commission
which has ever been introduced in I'M
perial Valley or about Imperial Valley
was available to the committee
Somebody, perhaps some central agen-
cy devoted to boosting the stock of radi
cal causes, had made careful compila-
tion Of everything unkind that was ever
said about the valley
1t was evident to we'll informed per-
sons that the LaFollette committees
questions were saoed on information OBJ
tanned from many sources, none of them
reputable. Among them were the re-
port of Gen. Pelham d. Glassford after
his so-called investigation in 1884 for
the u. S. labor department, the National
Labor Relations board hearing a couple
of years ago, the notorious Lubin report
on valley conditions, the statements of
A. l.. Wirin and Grover Johnson.
The radicals. it seems, are keeping a
coroplete record of the indignities they
suffer in Imperial Valley.
If the time ever comes when they are
in the saddle, and in position to exact
revenge, then God help the valley.
1t will be their first target

PAROLE OUTRAGE
tSan Bernardino Sum

The state board of prison terms and
paroles again has decided that Gilbert
Beesemyer, who stole S8,OO00OO from
trusting depositors in his financial insti-
tuition, has paid his debt to society with
nine years in prison. His original SEN
tence was 40 years.
There is a widespread and justified
indignation. Some months ago the parole
board decided to release Beesemyer.
Public indignation was SO great that
Governor Olson was forced to intervene
lie suggested series of public hearings
The hearings have been completed and
Beesemyer again is ordered released. 1t
IS now up to Govrnor Olson to prevent
the miscarriage of justice.
The parole board takes the position
that it is best for the interests of the
prisoner that he be released. But it is
not for the best interest of government
that he be released. Liberty for BeeSe-
myer will be a demonstration that if
man can steal $8,000,000 he can escape
the full consequences of such deed
Beesemyer was the direct cause of
misery among thousands of families
whose savings he misappropriated So
ciety needs to make demonstration
that man who does such things as
Beesemyer did Shall pay the full pen
atty. Organized society is apparently to
be told by a few politicians that it does
mt know anything about the fundamen-
tails of prison punishment.
