NEW TOWNSHIP LOCATED
Is Situated in Imperial County. op. posite Yuma, on Old Jaeger
 Homestead.

The Yuma Project Townsite Con- pany is the name of a new company. composed largely of Yuma promoters, which will exploit new townsite To- cated almost opposite Yuma, in Im- perial county . Several Tucson capi- .talists are interested in the enter prise.
 e The syndicate has secured the old Jaeger homestead of 120 acres, To- cated directly across the Colorado River from the United States Recla- nation Service headquarters. The land lies back of the levee, and through one corner of it the main line of the Southern Pacific passes. The land is surrounded by the Yuma Indian Reservation, soon to be thrown open to entry. The townsite is prac- tically level and generally free from brush. Thirty years ago this land was mostly in cultivation. One DOT ton of it was used as the headquar- ters of the old overland stage com pany, operated before the Southern Pacific was constructed. When the railroad came the stage company abandoned the place, and later it was homesteaded by L. F. J. Jaeger, who secured a patent from the govern ment for this land.
 For 70 %<x csf "a oc begun the first of this week. The main street will be 100 feet wide, running north and south; all other streets will be eighty feet in width square.
 The company plans to place the townsite on the market during De- cember, and will carry on an exten- sive adv cruising campaign.

to it and fight tor it SO passionately, is the same
principle manifested in another way.
Believing i'll democracy, in the necessity Of
stimulating individual effort with individual
reward, and in the home, as the ark of the
covenant to civilization Mr. Watson combats
Socialism because it's remedy is wrong
(1) 1t can not appeal to history and prove
that it has ever been anything but heart
breaking failure.
81 1t sociaizes the product of labor and
thus withdraws the reward to individual eff
fort 1t gives to society what the laborer
produces, whereas democracy proposes to en-
courage each by giving to each what each
produces.
60 1t gives to society the direction of the
industry of each citizen, thus establishing
despotism under which there can be no true
liberty for the individual.
"a 1t would deprive the race of the splen-
did results which have come from allowing
free play to individual initiative.
50 1t would substitute the State for the
family, depriving the head of the family of his
authority, at the same time that it relieved
him of his responsibilities. Hence the family,
as we know it, would disappear, and the home
would have nothing to rest on.
CO. 1t would replace marriage and divorce,
with Free Love and promiscuity. This state
ment will be hOtly denied. American teachers
of Socialism have had to repudiate this part
of their programme, just as they have been
forced to pretend to concede to the individual
ism the private ownership of his home But
home life, know it, and monogamy, as
practice it, are antagonistic to Socialism,
as we shall show hereafter. This article has
already grown too long, and we will continue
it "in our next"

Can One Nation Teach AnOfher The
Art of Self GObernmenf.

Does the history of the world show ar
instance of one nation teaching another the
art of governing itself?
No. The records will be searched in vain
for such precedent.
The capacity to govern is an evolutionary
PROCESS. 1t must come from within We
can not lnOculate other nations with the virus
of self-government. Disease is catching, and
the infected person can desolate a province
by scattering the plague. But health is not
communicable. We may have perfect health
ourselves but we can not give it ito anybody
So it is, in some degree, with government
We may pollute the manners and morals of
black men, brown men, red men and yellow
men with national vices, for they are in
fectious; but we can not impart our national
virtues to other races, because these are not
catching.
Negroes may initiate the whites in manners
and morals but when the negroes are sepa-
rated from the whites, niggerism asserts itself
almost Immediately, and we see Liberia, or
a Hayti, sinking to the bottomless nit of social
and political degradation.
Yet Our "wOrld-mission' statesmen have
committed the United States to a most ambi-
tlous and expensive policy of teaching other
nations the gentle art of self government.
We are tutoring the Filipinos the Porto
Rcans, the Cubans and the Haytians We
are told that these inferior people are going to
learn from us, how to govern themselves
Never in the world.
Self-government, like poetry, music and elo-
quence, has Ito come from within Civilization
is the outward dress worn by the ideals of
people, and 1T can no more be taught from
without than bird can be taught to soar and
sing

The Morrill, war tariff put the Protective
principle at work. once more, and every other
industry had to be taxed to enrich New Eng
land manufacturers. The Government began
to burn up the paper money, and tremen-
dously decrease the supply of currency at the
very time when the demand for it tremen-
dOusly increased. Prices went down, down,
DOWN. Money was harder to get-there
being in circulation so much less of it from
year to year Debts devoured most of mans
cotton, corn, wheat, tobacco, land and labor
10 get dollar he had to give more of his
stuff, and after he got it, it went no further
IN freeing the man from debt taxes, interest
and fixed charges than it did when he had to
give less to get it,
Thus the Capitalist became our lord and
master. His conquering legions were unjust
laws; and he drew the sources of his power
from you, because your representatives voted
the laws which violated the principles of Equal
and Exact Justice.
Now, Mr. Watsons idea is that we have
had illustration of the fact that genuine
democracy CAN make a country prosperous
and happy. We know that the principles of
Jefferson can give It's good government, FOR
WE HAVE SEEN THEM DO 1T. Why
not try the same medicine again?
Jefferson and his school had to make a de-
termined fight before they could overthrow
the Special Privilege which had got it's grip
upon the young republic under Hamton's
management and the administration of the
elder Adams. But Mr.. Jefferson organized
the masses, led them in peaceful array against
Capitalism and gained glorious victory
What has been done once, can be done again.
Mr.. Watson has profound confidence in
democracy. 1t recognizes the individual, ap-
peals to each to make the utmost out of him
self, and, in order that strength NAV be de-
veloped, encourages legitimate competition
which is restrained by wise laws from becom-
ing the bludgeon with which the strong beat
down the weak. TO each individual dem
ocracy would leave the utmost measure of
personal freedom, letting each do as he p1eases
so long as he does wrong to anybody else,
and violates none of the rules which have been
adopted for the good order peace and dignity
of the State Democracy would keep open the
wide doors of opportunity SO that each could
get a fair start in the race of life. Regarding
the individual as the source of political power
it regards the home as the fountain of pa
triotism.
Some traits are born in us, and they can not
be eradicated or stihed, or permanently sub
dued Love of our individual selves and the
wish to have our own way, is one of them. No
man can wear my hat with comfort; no other
mans hat can | wear with comfort. Nay,
more-I can not adjust his hat to his head
and he can not adjust mine to mine. Each
must do that for himself However obscure
you are, and however poor, you would not
change your name for that of any other man.
Is it not so? We very much doubt whether
there is any this earth, however hum

SCHOONER TO BE RAISED.
Repairs to Be Made to the Lumber
Boat Martha Washington.

The owners of the schooner Martha
Washington. which was cut through by
the ice and sunk in the river Off the Firth
Sterling Steel plant early in the week.
have contracted with Capt. Frank Taylor
to float the vessel and bring her to this
city for repairs. AS soon as conditions
will allow a lighter will be taken to the
place where the vessel Is lying and her
cargo of lumber will be removed, tug
boat will then pump her out and will tow
her to this city. The Martha Washington
is lying in about six feet Of water and it
is thought that she is not seriously dam
aged by the ice. only plank or two being
started. The vessel loaded the cargo Of
lumber which she has aboard at Nomini

OYSTERS QUOTED HIGHER.
Supply at the Wharves Said to Be
Enough for Christmas Demand.

The cold weather and the prospect fol
ice forming heavy enough to seriously in
terfere with navigation Is causing. de-
cided stiffening in the prices asked for
oysters in the shell by the masters OF
vessels having them aboard at the 18th
street wharf, and this morning prices
ranged from 50 cents to $1.25 a bushel In
large quantities. The supply on hand.
amounting to about 1900 bushes. is ample
to meet the demand. for the rest of the
week, and there will be no shortage In
the supply for the Christmas market.
There are several vessels with oysters
aboard lying at river points preparing to
tow though the ice to this city. They are
expected to reach here not later than the
early part OF the coming week.
