Pennsylvania Machine Against Adj
ministration, Opinion Of Raymond

but even Democrats. are
in hearty sympathy with the econo-
mic policy developed by President
Roosevelt. They are not as fanati-
cal in this regard as the people of
the west-that is to say. the eastern
Republicans are prepared to admit
that President Roosevelt is not alb
solutely infallible. They recognize
the mistakes he has made, but on the
whole they believe in him and his
policy. Many of the Pennsylvania
Republicans do not like the idea of
the president attempting to project
himself into the future by refusing
a nomination for himself but insist
ing that his successor must be one
who is entirely in sympathy with his
own policy.
The Taft boom has not taken as
we'll in Pennsylvania as In some
states farther west and south, but
chiefly for this reason. AS for as the
attitude of the bosses is concerned,
1t is distinctly hostile not only to
President Roosevelt himself. but to
the things he represents in the pop
ular mind. The Pennsylvania rail-
road possibly takes its name from
the state, and yet It would be a fair
inference that the state. was named
after the railroad. because 1t is alb
solutely certain that that great trans
portation company dominates the
politics as we'll as the social and
financial life of the commonwealth.

Telephone Inventor Has Great Faith
in Aerial Navigation.

London. May L. DR.. Alexander
Graham Bell the inventor of the
telephone is quoted in an interview
as saying that it is only a question
of short time when the progress of
aerial navigation will make It posi-
BILE to have dinner in America and
breakfast the next morning in Eu-
rope. Dr. Bell said that he expected
that an airship would be perfected
capable of making 175 to 200 miles
an hour. He is also Of the opinion
that early steps in aerial flight will
take the form of such improvements
as to make possible the creation of
aerial battle ships. He is of the opin-
ion That America will be the first
country to perfect aerial battle ships.

1t is the unanimous verdict of the
critics of the critics that the exhibit

passes any seen in a dozen years.
America. for the first time, leads all
foreign countries both in the number
of works displayed and in excellence.
This is recognized and prominent
place has been accorded the Ameri-

The entire exposition is remarka-
Bile for the uniformly hig hstandard
of the works. Only 1,CO0 pictures
are shown, the jury having rejected
those of over 400 aspirants. All
paintings of the decadent or the I'M
pressionist schools have been rigor-
ously excluded.

Corn and wheat Food.

1t is matter of custom rather
than of reason that we should use so
much wheat and so little corn in our
daily ration. Practically all the
wheat produced is converted into
food for man. It is probable that
not one bushel of corn in fifty raised
in this country goes upon the table.
That is a regrettable anomaly when
we consider that two bushels of corn
can be produced to every bushel of
wheat on given area and that the
national corn crop is four times the
national wheat crop.-New York

Chicago May There are on
an average 900 doctors graduated
every year by the medical colleges

fourths of these are utterly incompe-
tent and should never be permitted
to practice medicine. The average
medical college is lacking in proper

are useless.
These startling statements were
made yesterday at a meeting of the
council on medical education of the
American Medical association, u
council composed of members of the
various state boards of medical ex-
aminers and delegates from the state
medical societies. The statements
were made without contradiction in

the United States.

There is 20 dispute. however, in regard to the in- trinsic value of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in cases of stomach, liver, kid ne, or bowel disorders. in fact it is universally acknowledged to be the best medicine ever compounded for such disorders, and for proof it is only necessary to point to the thousands of cures it has made during the past 5 years. We believe it is the medicine you need to make you well again, and that's why we urge you so strongly to try a bottle at once.

Alone on the desert all night long suffering the tOrtures of a broken leg was the experience of D. E. Manning an employe of the reclamation service last week.
 He was driving to the Potholes and when about six miles from Yuma the team became unmanageable, and in an effort to control them one of the reins broke and Mr. Manning fell from the wagon and in front of one of the wheels, which struck his leg and broke it in two places. He lay there helpless un- til Thursday morning, when q Mexican, Jose Jeris, came along and brought him into Yuma. where the broken limb was set by Dr. Ketcherside.

Transforming the Desert.

Squire Monroe, who returned a few days ago from San Diego and other points i'll Southern California, gives a glowing ac- count of what he saw in the I'm perial valley. He and others, among whom was E. Ingram, made an extensive trip through that country, which five years ago was 0 desert waste but is now d vast garden, prolific of great fields of alfalfa and grain, fruits, flowers, melons and veg etables in such abundance as to be absolutely inconceivable to anyone who has not gone and "seen for himself" Besides the endless products of the rich soil, there are thousands of fat hogs, sheep and cattle, says Mr. Mon roe, and there are fine, large barns, houses, and other farm improvements, such as are to be found in the older and long set tied communities of the east and middle west. The transforms tion of that valley is qruly one of the maryels of this wondrous age. And what has been ac- complished there can be dupli- cated, and even exceeded on the Yuma valley and mesa lands and will be when we get relia
 ble and permanent water supply when the government dam and irrigation system is compiled.

ago. There is not a child in the city but knows Miss Post and but few teach CTS of the territory could be mentioned who have not met her. She attends all the educational gatherings, aud when Mir. Mcclure was president of the Territorial Association Miss Post was the efficient secretary. In all these years of work Miss Post has kept in familiar touch with advancing educa- tional methods and there is not better posted teacher to be found anywhere.
 Misses Alice and lone Greenleaf were both raised here, graduated from our public schools, and finished q course at the Territorial Normal school at Tenn pc. Miss Alice has taught for two years in our school, while Miss lone las finished one years successful work. They are both excellent instructors and are favorites with pupils and parents.
 Miss Marion Thomas, who has been teacher here for three years, is also a graduate of the Tempe Normal, and is doing such excellent work as to aid in building up reputation for her alma mater.
 Miss Adeline Smith, the assistant in the high school, is graduate of Port land, Oregon, University and of the University of California, having receiv- cd the degree of Bachelor of Litera- ture from the latter institution. This was Miss Smiths first year here, and her work was so meritorious that she was employed for another term.
 Miss Jennie Kent is another teacher who needs no words of introduction to the Yuma public, having been one of Yuma's lirst-class teachers for num- Der of years. Before coming to Yuma Miss Kent had been very successful teacher in the state of Kansas.
 Miss May McConkey is a graduate of the State Normal at Emporia, Kansas, and before coming to this city>had been a successful teacher in the city schools of Independence, Kansas. Her work has been of a very gratifying nature and she has been retained for another term.
 Miss Gertrude F.. Priest is another of the homegrown girls and has been a teacher in Yuma for a number ofyears, but for the past year has had charge of the Laguna school, and has heen en- gagged for another term. Miss Priest also attended the Tempe Normal.
 Miss Daisy B. Bush represents 5a- ker University and had taught success fully several terms before coming to Yuma, and her first years experience was entirely satisfactory to the board and patrons.
 Miss Matte Corbell 9 native of Tenn pc, graduated at the Territorial Nor mal two years ago. and came to this city with one years experience, and contributed her part in making this the most successful educational year that Yuma has ever had.

When this tube is in- famed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inliamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
