SOBRIETY AND SUCCESS,
Modern Opinion Looks Upon Tipping
With DsapproNal.

The announcement Of Indiana's new
governor to office-seekers that mo
drinking man need apply is the latest
example of the disrepute into which
tipping has fallen. For years several
of the great railways nave insisted thar
their employees shall be sober men, ana
other large corporations have followed
their lead, with the result that drink
ing is no longer considered respect
able" To be sure, every now and
then we hear the pessimistic wall that
intemperance is on the increase. but
the facts show nothing of the kind,
says Robert Webster Jones in the
Housekeeper. Half a century ago Ou1
representatives. in congress thought
intoxicated from the dining table. To
day the sale of liquor is prohibited in
the national capitol, and many OF our
senators and congressman have inter
ested themselves actively in temper
ance legislation. At banquets OF cham
it is not uncommon to omit wine from
re menu, and where wine is served it
is untasted by large number of the
diners. The employer no longer de-
mands ability in the bibulous line from
his travelling men. Business is not got
by the corkscrew nowadays.
We read sensational stories in the
yellow journals occasionally concern
ing the tipping among so-called 'socie-
ty women" Some Of them, no doubt,
are true, but we should remember what
an extremely limited coterie society
is, both as regards numbers and infiu>
ence. Even were all fashionable 80

of the world would proceed as usual.
In the twentieth century scheme OF
civilization there is no place for drones
or drunkards. 1t has taken our race

lative business by the next legislature.
This heritage for the future solons
contains few changes from the order
followed during this past session. All
papers presented to the legislature
must be unfolded and unroiled and
they are to be provided with envelopes
sufficiently large to enclose them in an
unfolded form. ENDORSEMENTS hereafter
will be made on the envelope instead
of upon the back of the bills, resolu-
lions, etc, as in the past. Envelopes
for each house will be distinguished
by the color. The committee OF public
lands is abolished, its duties being
given to the committee on forestry.
The committee on manufactures be-
comes the committee on manufactures
and labor. The committee on legisla-
tive expenditures becomes also the
committee on legislative employees
who, in the future will be classified in
the civil service list. A joint commit
tee On common schools is created,
thereby segregating that class from
the university and normal school in
terests. House calendars, hereafter,
will be printed twenty hours be-
fore the business thereon is taken up.
Salaries of Civil Service Officers.
Each member of the civil service
commission is enlisted to $40 per diem
for the time actually devoted to his Of
fetal duties not exceeding, however,
100 days in each year, and also his
necessary expenses incurred in the dis
charge of his official duties. The COM

The assembly recalled the senate

Mr. I.vnc,i Off for Texas.

After some delay in making the nec- essary arrangements on last Thursday night. Mr. w. E. Lynch was started on his way to the Dallas and San An tonic fair, thanks to the mremitting efforts of the Chamber of Commerce. In response to the request of that body presented by a committee appointed for the purpose, composed of !. w. Darlington, Capt Polhamus and Harry Brownstetter, the honorable board of supervisors of Yuma county, by unani- nous vote, made liberal appropria- tion to assist in defraying Mr. Lynch's expenses to these great fairs. The Southern Pacific Railroad likewise re- sponded promptly to a request from the Chamber of Commerce for transporta- tion for Mr. Lynch. Mr. Lynch will meet hundreds of homeseekers from the north and east who have taken ad- vantage of the reduced rates to visit Texas, and will be able to show them the immense advantages of the Cobra do valley overthe prairies and plains of Texas-insomuch as he was for many years resident of the Lone Star state No better man could have been select ed for this work, and Yuma county will profit greatly by his labors.

chamber of Comr1erce Active.

The Yuma County Chamber of Com merce is now doing some good work, the benefits from which will surely be realized in the not distant future. Five thousand folders have recently been printed and are being distributed where they will do the most good.
 The folder contains short but terse- ly written article. telling of the Lagu- ma dam, where four hundred men are now employed; of the levee work under way and progressing rapidly; and of the hundreds of thousands of rich acres to be brought under cultivation with the completion Of the government. irri- gation system known as the Yuma Pro iect; of the advantages and opportunl- ties here presented, and of the devel- opments to follow the completion of the great work. This little folder is merely starter Other larger and more elaborate booklets, will soon fol- low. The Chamber of Commerce is wide awake and diligent, and proposes to push Yuma to the front.

Stockholders rIeeting.

A meeting was calledfor last Saturday of the stockholders of the Yuma Valley Union Land and Water Company to consider the question of leasing the canal system to the Peoples Irrigating Company, but there was not quorum present. The meeting was therefore adjourned until Saturday, November II, at o'clock p. m.
 It would seem that a matter so inn portant as this would create more in terest among the farmers of the valley, who must have water, pending the completion of the government system, and this the new company proposes to furnish by opening up the ditches and putting the system in shape for irrigat- ing the lands under it. There is plenty of money back of the Peoples $ Irrigating Company and it is composed Of men who mean business.

How England would do, and how her people would sul,sist, if suddenly de- pYived of her American source of sup plies, is difficult to ilnagin. It is also difficult to imagine how the American people would keep so healthy if sud- denly deprived of the famous Hostet- ter's Stomach Bitters, for in this sov- ereign remedy they have their only hope of being cured of stomach, liver and bowel disorders. It has been sub jected to the severe test of over 90 years and has always given complete satisfaction.
