Our merchants are enjoying a fine Christmas trade at this time. One of the unusual features of the holiday trade this year is the early buying. It is customary for the trade to wait until the last two or three days before Christmas to make their pur- chases, but at this time there are a number of our merchants who have almost sold their entire stock of holiday goods.

Execute inc Sentence.

A petition is being circulated among the people of Yuma aud numerously signed by them, addressed to Governor Sloan and urging that the sentence of Francisco Marqniz WAS just and de- serving one and that he should be exc cuted on the 10th of this month, to which date it was postponed at the re- quest of the government Of Mexico.
 The most damaging witness against Marquin at the trial vas Manuel Arvi- so, who was with Marquiz and Hodges in the mountains when Hodges was murdered and wboT Mareuiz sought to slay him. h its inLerceSsiop for the neck Of Mareuiz the Mexican govern ment attacks the character and verae- ity of Arviso and attempts to dlscredit his testimony. The petition carries with it an endorsement of ArviSo's character. lie has been resident of shis district for many years and his general reputation stands high.
 To most people of Yuma the seeking of any sort of clemency for sGeh bi.Mtal, cruel murderer as Marquiz is q most astounding piece of business.

Air Dome

There is a small element of fanatfcal moralists who can never see anything good in theatrical performance; to them every thing behind the glamOr of the footlightS is very. very bad, and very demnralizing t9 the youth Of the land. Even the innocent but enter taining moving pictures are scored un- .mercifully ;Bs being ruinous to the young men and young women.
 The great majority of the ''stories withoat words'T depict human interest situations, and nearly every story car ries a high moral, which with the gen erally capable stage people employed in the GeAine3tion, is made to stand out strongly. As in life, the good is shown go be the neblest and best, while the bad is mst as strongly depicted as be- ing disastrous. 1t is natural that the human thus appealed 10 will have his best and noblest impulses aroused and the impression made is love for that WHICH IS SoOu anu hdtIeu lor 'uaI which is ignoble and mean. The stage develops more of the good and noble in human nature than does the pulpit. One of the strongest temperance pro- ductions ever seen was put on at the Air Dome d few nights ago, showing the depths of degradation, sorrow and death to which a man may be brought and bring his family and friends through excessive drinK and wrong associations. What made it strong was the depicting the fascinating al- lurements of sin as well as their penal ties. Who, by the contrast, would not be moved to choose the right?

The Farmer and the Auto

One E. T. Fairchild, who has been making a census of the school attendance in the state of Kansas, commits himself to the opinion that the decrease in the | birth rate of that state Is a re- suit of an increase in the use of the automobile. As it would be impossible to arrive at such conclusion by mere human req son, we suppose that MT. Fair child gets his results by sheer genius, even as Shakespeare and the federal attorney general The only possible alternative Is that his preternatural sagacity runs in the family, like wooden legs.
 We are inclined to think that the farmer in Kansas and else where is suffering from too much automobile. Ro is not merely afflicted in that way, but there are certain complaints following in it's train which, like the smell of the gasoline, are pervcrsive and distaSteful. When a farmer gets an automobile he is like the lady with the new hat, who re- qulres a new rig-out from top to toe, on the theory that the hat "kllls" everything she has on.
 Apart from its deadly influence upo the supply of babies in Kan sas, the automobile is important, not because it is an automobile, but because it is a seductive and delightful toy which appeals more particularly to people who have not learned the habit of self denial. We seem to be con- genitally an extravagant and wasteful people. In the period of prosperity which set in with the Notation of industrial combi- nations in the past ten years, we have seen many fortunes made, almost over night. We ought to have started to save money at the time of the panic of 1907. Each of us is still more extrava- gant than the other in spite of all warnings. Who are we that we should tell our ueighbor that he is keeping an automobile on a bicycle income?
 Suppose we offer a cold, dis agreeable fact, more immediately important than MT. Fairchild's deductions on the population of Kansas. A single automobile company, and that by no means the greatest, appeared in the New York money market with $l,O00,000 of farm mortgages and farmers notes. It sought to rediscount and was embhat- ically turned down. If anybody wants to buy an automobile just now he can get 20 per cent off the list price for cash, and choose his own machine.-Wall Street
