MAIL ORDER HOUSE EVIL.
System Keeps Many Agricultural
Towns from Advancing.

-
There is no use in claiming that
mail order houses are illegitimate
concerns. They are entitled to exist
as well as the small merchant. There
can be no doubt as to the perfectness
Of the system that they are conducted
upon. No use In denying that now
and then they fail to give satisfaction
to their customers. So do the mer.
chants in all lines of trade. He who
believes that these great concerns are
not injurious to the merchants in the
smaller cities and towns knows little
about their operations. Then how Is
1t that the mail order houses are in
furious to the people Of the land?
Great economists agree that it is the
concentration of capital and power in
the large cities wherein rests the dan.
gers that threaten the people. The
mail order houses are great factors in
this concentration. They are suckers
of the blood of the country, the
mediums hat take from communities
where 1t is earned the money that
| should be retained by the people for
the development and enrichment of
their own communities. Herein is the
mail order house evil. On these
grounds all wise people will do what.
erNr lies in their power to head of
the greater growth of the system. Any
system should be retained within its
limits for the greater development OF
its resources and general enrichment,
Is a bad system and should be decried
1t is not sufficient that the consumer
retain the profits that should go to the
tradesmen of the place. BY this there
is little development of industry. The
towns and cities lose the business thai
is necessary to employ the people
while the wealth to al extent may bC
retained.

Tobacco received its name from To
bacco, a province in Yucatan. Others
say that It was named for the Island
of Tobago, n of the Caribbees, while
still others claim that it was named
for Tobasco, IN the Gulf Of Florida. 1t
is said that tobacco was first observed
at San Domingo, Cuba, in 1892, and
was used freely by the Spaniards in
Yucatan in 1920.

IN MOURNING
 ARE TIE YUMAS
 AT INDIAN FEE
important Events of the Sea- son Are to Take Place on the Reservation Today in Memory of Dead.

The Yuma Indians are to have another of their unique and decidedly characteristic fiestas-the first they have had since the fall of 1906, when hundreds of Yumaites and visitors from many points throughout the country were close attendants upon the tribal ceremonies participated in by the entire Yuma tribe and many guests from the Cocopahs, Mojaves, Diguenas and Algodones Cuchans.
 Thursday marked the beginning of the fiesta, but, as is usually the case, the first three days will be largely given over to preparation for the big events of Sunday. On that day the weird ceremonies of the Yumas will be enacted in all their barbaric origi- nality. There will be the council of war, the war dances and funeral dances, the peace session, and above all else, the unearthly mourning ov- CT their recent dead which is the great feature, and in fact the inspira- ton of the fiesta.
 Elaborate preparations have been made by the Yuma chiefs who have the affair under their charge to make this is the most important fiesta in many years, although 1t is being held at an unusual time. The annual mourning fiestas are generally pulled of in September or October, but there is good reason this year for not waiting until fall. No fiesta was held last year, as the number of tribal dead did not seem to justify it. On the other hand, the number of Yumas who have psased to the Great Beyond since the last author ized season of mourning has increas. ed to such an extent that it is deemed inexpedient to further post pone the rites which are expected to insure them a permanent habitation in the Happy Hunting Ground. Be sides, the number of deceased to which proper attention can be given at one time is limited, and it is deemed advisable to dispose, of the stock on hand before it grows SC large as to be unwieldy.
 The fiesta is held on the reserva tion, in about the same location as that of 1906, something like two and a half miles north of the Fort Yuma store. The most important events
 will begin about or g o'clock Sun day morning, and will continue un | abated until sunrise of Monday morn | ing, when the funeral pyre, contain
 ing the worldly effects of those wht are being mourned, will be lighted | and in its ashes will die the Indian | remembrance of those who have gon'
 before. Their names will neve
 again be spoken.

RESENT TACTICS
 OF GOv. JOHNSON
Bryan Would Throw Strength to CuIberSon in Case He
 Couldn't Get Nomination,

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 25.~ Washington democrats, Bryan and anti-Bryan, are beginning to consider seriously the outcome at Denver m case the Nebraskan finds he cannot control twothirds of the convention. It is believed by many members of the party that If Mir. Bryan is not to be the nominee he will throw his en- tire strength to Senator Charles A Culberson of Texas.
 Resent Johnson Tactics.
 The Bryan men resent the Johnson tactics. They believe, denials to the contrary notwithstanding, that the Minnesotan is banking altogether too much upon the support of the dem. ocrats who favor neither Bryan nor his policies and who in a measure at least were responsible for his two de- feats. The personalities that have crept into the pre-convention cam paign have made it seem unlikely that MT. Bryan would look with euuanimity upon the nomination of Mir. Johnson.
 culberson Bryan's Friend.
 Senator Culberson is MT. Bryan's friend, a strong man in the ranks of the democratic party, clean man and a southerner whose public life mas been lived since the war. Talk of the probability of Culberson's nom nation if MT. Bryan's enemies in the party can control enough of the dele gates to prevent the nomination of the Nebraskan is becoming quite ire quent. One has to take account of the talk, for coming as 1t does from democrats of all factions, 1t must Bryan's intention as it's basis.
 Want Southern Man.
 For three years serious-minded democrats have been urging their par ty to nominate a southern man for the presidency this year Senator 'Culberson of Texas has been the man l in mind, for he is acceptable to Bry- antics and anti-BFyanites. He is rec | ognized by republicans and demo crats in the senate as one of the abl- | est members of that body
 Some of the republicans say with out hesitation that MT. Culberson rs
 mentally the best equipped member of the opposition. In saying this they do not forget Senator Bailey. | The junior senator, they say, has cer- | tain temperamental faults which are | lacking in MT. Culberson. The sen.
 Tor senator is considered more of a | thinker than a speaker. but since he was chosen by his democratic col leagues as their leader he has taken
 more important part in the debates than ever before.
