Governor wilson. Comment.

When asked for comments upon the
result Of the vote for commission gov
eminent In Trenton, Governor Wilson
said: "It may be that this Is only the
3 beginning of this part of the fight for
the peoples right to control their own
government, but certainly the result
IN Trenton Is most suspicious n en-
~couraging. 1t represents what will
happen everywhere just SO soon as the
people really understand the full sig
nihcance OF the issue they are voting
upon.
Whether the fight goes rapidly or
slowly toward success, IL is sure in the
end to result in the firm establishment
OF population control, and as yet no
better instrument of popular control in
city government has been found than
the commission form.
THE men who have worked for this
object In Trenton are certainly to be
warmly congratulated on the uccess
OF their work, and on the intelligence
with which their efforts were pushed
forward"
Primaries will be held on July Is for
the selection of ten candidates TO go
before the people in the succeeding
election August 10. There must be no
political designation opposite the names
Of the ten candidates whose names Will
go on the ballot election day. nor any
thing to indicate In any manner what
soever their political affiliations.

people. He will be chosen az such by
his colleagues aftey' election to preside
ever the deliberations of the new board,
and although known as a Mayor he
will have under the terms of the act
NO more power thar his colleagues.
Wherever the word mayor ccurs in
the new law II is in quotation marks
II 1t refers TO the president of the COM
mission. IT will he interesting to note,
however, just what powers will come
to him from court decisions, as many
functions are exercised by the present
Mayor for the carrying out of which no
provision is made under the new form
OF government. For instance, the Leg
i~slature last winter passed a law CIV
ing the appointment of school boards
TO the Mayor OF each municipality. 1t
was not contemplated in the act that
the Mayor should be the official desig-
lated as such by the commission.

after the election has been held and

OF log-roliing. has decided the point for

 Beach views were thrown upon canvas, showing in beautiful col lors and moving pictures the life and scenes around these beach resorts. The pictures were fine and true to life and very interest ing to the Yuma public.
 The Venice of America band, with thirty five pieces, under the leadership of that great artist, Chaiffarelli, gave one of it's in- imltable musical concerts.
 The beaches represented were Santa Monica, Ocean Park, Ven- ice of America, Redondo, Long Beach and Catalina Island.

CRUFLLY BEATEN
School Child UnmercifuIly Whip
 ped by Principal Williams

Last week, at the Main street school, little Ike Finley, an or. plan boy who has been adopted
 by Mrs, Abe Frank, aged thir- teen years and a student in the fifth grade, received a brutal beating at the hands of his teacher, John G. Williams.
 A short time after this inhu- man punishment Captain J. N. Bickal examined the boy and found two welts, each about eight inches in length and one and one-half inches wide, where the blood was ooozing through the skin. It is understood that the weapon used was 8 loaded water hose, and that during the present term it has been custom. ary to use this kind of weapon for punishing school children. It is also alleged that the boy was otherwise roughly handled by Williams, and this without any rebellioUs spirit upon the part of the boy being punished.
 This punishment is said to have been inflicted all because this boy could not spell 8 word.
 It is certainly time to call a halt when a teacher will infict punishment in such brutal man. ner upon pupil for the small ofense of failing to spell word, and the board of trustees should see that loaded water hose should not be in the hands of a teacher and principal for the punishment of children in the future.
 For the past few years the Yuma schools have won an en- viable reputation throughout she country for the efficiency of of the work done With such treatment of the pupils the rep utation of our schools will soon be reversed.
 This is a matter that should be investigated by the board of trustees, and, if the allegations are found to be true, the teacher should be summarily dismissed as being unfit for the position he occupies.

YUMA COTTON
A Peculiar and Valuable Strain
 HaS Been Developed

Yuma has the distinction o. having developed a peculiar and valuable strain of Egyptian cot ton. So marked are its charac- teriSticS that a late bulletin oi the Bureau of Plant Industry de
 votes whole chapter to it. The plant is of high productiveness, very large bolls, nearly smooth seeds, and fiber containing a high percentage of lint, satisfactory in length, strength and fineness. The fiber measures one and one
 half inches in length. An Egyp- tian cotton expert has examined this fiber and describes it as 6 medium between two famous strains of the Nile in color. Many acres of the Yuma strain have been tested in the neigh
 borhood and without doubt elsewhere in California. An authority tells me that our State will go largely into Egyptian varieties, so the tests of the Yuma variety are of great i'm portance.-Los Angeles Times.

FOR STATEHOOD
Bill Passes the Lower House by
 Vive Voce Vote

Washington, May 24. The joint resolution admitting Ari- zona and New Mexico to imme- diate Statehood, but withhold ing approval of the Constitu- tions of both until the people have voted on the proposed amendments passed the House of Representatives yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock by a viva voce vote. No roll call was de- manded on the final vote.
 The resolution requires Ari- zona to vote on an amendment removing the recall provision as as it applies to Judges. New Mexico will have to vote on an amendment making it's Constitu- tion more easily amendable.
 Neither State is required to adopt the amendments proposed by Congress. Whether they are or rejected by the pro- posed referendum, the Constitu- tions of the new States will stand finally approved when the respective votes have been taken.

Colonel Norton Improved

Captain Isaac Polhamus has returned frem a ten days trip to Los Angeles and coast points. Last Sunday Captain Polhamus, in company with Tom Lavis, a former railroad man and we'll known in Yuma, called at the Soldiers Home, near Santa Monica, and spent the day with Colonel George ". Norton. Colonel Norton, who was taken to the Soldiers Home in a pre-. carious condition about three months ago, has greatly im- proved, and Captain Polhamus reports the Colonel as holding out hopes of complete recovery. In fact, his condition is better than it has been for the past three years.

ELKS LAY STONE
Immense Throng Witness Im-
 preSSive Ceremonies

In the afternoon of last Sun day Yuma Lodge of Elks, No 476, held beautiful ceremonies a the laying of the cornerstone O. their new hall and clubroom il second avenue.
 Hon. Eugene s. Ives, prom inent attorney and politician and one of the foremost members o1 the order of the Territory, made the principal address. MT. Ives, who is 8 charter member of the local lodge, was for many years resident of Yuma and he stated that whenever he came to Yuma it was like coming home, and that the greetings accorded him were mutual in every respect. MT. Ives address was filled with pathos and it was iu 8 high de- gree oratorical.
 It is not improbable that when Yuma becomes the first city of Arizona that the gentleman and statesman from Tucson will again become one of OUT num- Der.
 Paul R. Ingle, district deputy exalted ruler, of Phoenix, made a splendid address and compli- mented the local order on it's good work.
 Mulford Winsor, always a ready speaker, was at his best on this occasion. His theme was the history of the Elks lodge in Yuma, and the efforts to build 8 beautiful home.
 Genial George Michelsen had the honor or placing a copy Of the addresses on this occasion, together with many other relics for future generations, as also copies of all the local papers in the cornerstone.
 Music was furnished by the Yuma Concert Band and the lodges famous male quartet, consisting of c. P. Hiegel, W. O. Pryor, w. D. Littler and Rags Lee.
 About twelve hundred of our people were present at the cere- monies.
 Architect F. H. Brooks and Contractor Charles Olcester, as we'll as the building committee of the lodge, received many con- gratulations upon the work al ready done. It will require about sixty days in which to conarlnte this S2O,0O0 structure.

From Raleigh, Tenn, comes a story of an Irish potato that turned to stone. We are pre-. pared to accept that story at par. There is no reason why vege- table products should escape 8 fate that frequently befalls anil nal products. It is 8 we'll known fact that steaks are cap- able of ieasts partial petrifica- tion. It is within every one's experience that meat occasion- ally resists the sharpest knife, the must determined teeth. The Tennessee stone potato should be served with it.

Unjust Criticism

Sundays issue of the Morning Sun published very unfair crit icism of Billy Lyon, who is in Washington representing the Yuma County Water Users As sociation and the farmers of the valley. President Stitt replies to the Sun as follows:
 "Edltor Sun: Your article in Sundays issue is likely to be very misleading to the farmers who read your paper, when it states that Billy Lyon is first victim of the recall. It is re- grettable that your reporter did not catch the drift of what was done. Of course, it was the in- tention to truthfully report the the proceedings. The 95 per cent of the farmers that stand behind the Lyon proposition are satisfied with his efforts to carry out their wishes, built was never intended to maintain him perma- nently in Washington and the action of the board of governors on Saturday was simply directed toward having him return.
 "I hope you will give this the same degree of publicity that you accorded the article which made this explanation necessary. Re- spectfully, R. G. STITT,

To Clean JeWeIry

Any woman who owns a silver purse, either sterling or Ger man, and who constantly pays the jeweler for cleaning it, in order to save gloves and light dresses, will be glad to know that common baking soda will clean it in a few minutes. That is what most jewellers use I have found-after paying for having mine cleaned dozens of times. Just take plenty of soda and a little water, and wash between the hands or with g. brush; rinse and dry-and think of the money saved. Hampers Bazar.
