UMINTATIONSOf CASSIUS
The action of western Republican!
In Congress in refusing to he coerced
by the "steering commit tee' is the ex
ception, which proves the tendency to
fetter the brain of poor, lean, lank
Cassius. always prone to think too
much tO satisfy those who assume to
rule over us. The dictator is abroad
in the land. He is in Congress, and
whenever a member of lh.it body ex
ercises whnt was once considered <»ot
Ottly his privilege, but his <luJa. to ex
press his hOlieSi convictions, right
quickly the party machinery is a<l
|Ußted to (|ive a chastisement. Hut it
la uot alone in Congress that Cassius
sutlers. Wherever he applies his mind
to the disadvantage of "vested rights"
>.r assumed rights he is assailed. He
is the editor of a newspaper built up
with his own money, but the party
boss stands ready to lambast him over
the head at the expression of a new
idea not in keeping with the wishes of
the boss. Caesar is seeking his re
veuge by stabbing Cassius to the
deatli.

However persistent may be other
iksues. the one question which, any
where in America, is inevitable and
persistent above all others is the Con
trol of the liquor tratlic. For a hun
dred years a\u\ more the contlict has
been on, and i\ is as certain to con
tinue until definitely and eternally
settled as tomorrow's sun is to rise
Politicians may beg the question and
supporters ot the saloon may fight it.
but the American people are moving
slowly but Steadily agaitlSt the saloon
system and Its Carnival of debauchery,
and the people are going to win the
day.
We are building a city on the desert.
\\<- have chosen as the corner stone of
that building the prohibition of the
liquor traffic. It is even mote than
tin- comer stone. Prohibition is be
ing wrought into every feature of the
building. There may be those who
will sock to break it down, as they are
doing in other communities. The
Huns .mil Vandals being banished
from Other sections may move against
this city and the institutions it is
creating. Hut before they lake the
tirst step in that direction, let the fact
be widely known that the founders of
t bi« tOWII and the people who have
SOMC to it meant what they said when
they declared against the saloon and
it s debauching influence and they in
tend to tight if necessary for the prin-
Ciple they have espoused.
[ ( oiik out for the locomotive! Don't
get in the way of either the Southern
Pacific or Sau Diego-Eastern track.
Let the surveyors and constructors
hav<- a merry race for right of way
intut'e Imperial valley.
Kiykksihk is to have a "beautiful
jail." That is a novelty, hut a good
One. If those who are inclined to vio
late laws were made more familiar
with the beautiful objects of life there
would be fewer criminals.
Anh how, all together! We owe it
to ourselves and to the future of the
meat Imperial valley that in this day,
when the future is in hud, we place our
shoulders to the wheel and push in
happy accord.
L<>s Ant.ki.ks it preparing to build
sky-scrapers. It is the first backward
step the city ever took. Los AllgelCS
has been the city cf cottage homes,
which is to say that it has been a city
of surpassing beauty and happiness,
and now it is being invaded by the
twin demons, high buildings and
French flats.
Thk town of Imperial is the town of
the future. Here a Fresno, a Hakers
field or a San DiegO is to be created in
the next five years. It cannot be oth
erwise, It id the men of the Southwest
who wish to be on the rising tide of
prospeiity are beginning to realize
this and are manifesting deep interest
in the future of the embryo city.
With 6,313 acres of crops growing in
the valley where one year ago it could
lie said that never had a seed been
planted by human bJtftfg the showing
is most creditable. Meanwhile the
work of redeeming the valley goes on,
and a year from now the acreage of
crop* will probably be from live to ten
t Intel as great.
Pkhsihknt Nooskvki.T, who has
Caused suits to be brought against the
railway and beef trusts, is now making
inquiries into the nature of the sugar
trust . and it is intimated that he will
ask fora more perfect anti-trust law
than the one prepared by Join I Sher

ident shows signs of preferring the
good will of the people to that of the
money aggregations.

San Diego-Eastern
S. T. Richarda, in charge of the S.in
Diego-F.astei n survey, was in Imperial
Saturday on his way back toward San
Diego after completing the survey for
the projected road through to Yuma.
He said that he had succeeded in get
ting a satisfactory line through with
out goilig OU Mexican territory, hut
spoke a little uncertainly in regard to
tin- sand hills, which will undoubtedly
lie an expensive country in which to
keep the right-of-way clear, on ac
count of the drifting sand.
Mr. Richards haaa little work to do
in the CatrisO creek canyon, after
which he will proceed overland to Ban
Diego, with his work completed.
He was accompanied by hi* sou and
daughter, who were having a pleasant
OUting on the desert and mountains
with their father.
