YUMA SUPPORTING BRENNAN.

We are pleased to publish the fol-
lowing letter received Thursday from
T. M. brennan, who is now in Yuma
in the interest of his candidacy for
the state legislature The Post is
gratified to learn that the sentiment
expressed in an article published in
last weeks issue under the head, "Yu-
ma Wants All the Offices is not so
general as supposed.
AS our information was received
by conversing with only few OF
the residents of that portion of the
county, all of whom were candidates,
it appears that the matter was mag
nified to considerable extent How
ever, we did not wish it to appear to
the reader of the article in question
that the sentiment expressed was
general and the article stated this
fact clearly. Mr.. Drennan's optimts-
tic letter, however, indicates that
there is no fear of his running behind
of his party vote in the southern end
of the county. His letter follows:
Yuma, Ariz., Dec. 5, 1911.-Editor

The leaders of the democratic party,
as we'll as the business men, Yuma
valley farmers and in fact everyone
that 1 have talked with, have told
me many times that it is only fair
and just that the north should have
a representative, and for that reason
1 would be strongly supported.
There is no indication whatevc:
that l will fall short of the entire
democratic strength i'm this locality,
and quite few progressive republi-
cans have assured me of their sup
port. Of course, l do not want my
friends in the north to succumb tC
over-confidence, but there is no rea-
son to believe that l will not be elect

northern and southern portions OF

ment ON the article and l trust you
will do your best to correct it in your
next issue Everything looks fine
and | am sure of success.

PHOENIX, Dec 6-An invention
that marks an epoch in the history
of irrigation has been patented by C.
w. Mckee Of this city. 1t is nothing
less than a complete automatic cleo
trio irrigation system, which can be
installed ON any ranch at a total cost
of not more than $3.50 per land 1t
does away with all labor costs, which
now are heavy drain upon the farm

water will not matter to him-all thai
he will have to do will be to set his
gates and go to bed, to church, to
town or wherever he pleases. His
farm will be irrigated more perfectly,
more uniformly, than were he there
to watch the water on every inch of
it's tedious course over the land un-
der the system now in vogue.
This invention, without a doubt
one of the most marvellous of. the
age, is astonishingly simple, as 81

The PEOPLES FORUM
By A. C. MCBRIDE

A man named Perrin, who happens to be
the new manager of the Seattle, Renton and
Southern, and who was sent to Seattle from
Chicago to teach the Rainier Beach people
a few things, blew into the city hall one day
last week and looked up Mr.. Valentine.
This big wind from the windy city said
he was there to see about the coniscation
of the Crawford street car line. At that
time he did not see much to feast his eyes
on, but he will "see things" when Lawyer
Hughes gets ready to move. If taking the
Renton line under city charter and fran
chise that expressly provides therefor is con-
hscation, I wonder what he calls what Craw
ford has been doing to the patrons of that
line? Charging fifteen cents for a single
trip within the city limits in violation of law
could not truthfully be given so mild name.
Refusing transfers, to which the people were
entitled is another, and in that manner, thou
sands of dollars have been wrongfully taken
from the settlers living in the Rainier Val
ley According to the ideas of right and
wrong, as developed in the new manager,
this wrongful taking of their money is all
right, viewed, of course, from the ethical
standpoint of man from Chicago, but here
in the West we call it very unlady like
name Mr. Crawford forced this "conhsca-
ton" on the people. A man with grain of
sense might have known that the course
taken by the management of that line would
result in some move that would protect the
people There will be one regret connected
with this matter. Taking the line to the
city limits still leaves Mr.. Crawford few
miles of track into Renton. He should be
completely eliminated from street car con-
troll in King county.

that made him such valuable man in the

capable and efficient in every undertaking.
but now we find him in new role-that
of humorist. In Kansas, one day. last
week, he said that judges ought to be i'm
peached, but not recalled and he favored
changes in the impeachment procedure
Now isn't that funny, side splitting n1irth,
to one who knows anything about the failure
and success of impeachment trials? Only
about year ago the u. S. Senate sat as
court of impeachment and tried federal
judge from the South. There was no lack
of evidence, but did that gang of corrupt
and dishonest legislators impeach him? Of
course not. Hasn't nearly every state in
the Union, including Washington, had i'm
parchment trials, and what did they amount
to-? The President must not be taken seri-
ously on this subject-he must be taken
as humorist. A man recently died in
Illinois from excessive laughter over joke.
This should be a warning to our ponderous
President.
One cannot help but admire the nerve of
our militant sheriff. For the first time,
believe, since he has been in office, he turned

its on boarding the federal prisoners. Here

TOO MANw COMMISSIONS

liam Pitt Trimble, whose friends are urg-
ing him to become a candidate for gov
ernor, is said to be strongly in favor of re-
trenchment in public expenditures, and as
a means to this end favors the adjustment
of some of the numerous commissions with
which the state is today burdened There
is no question but that the state is going
the commission way pretty fast, and the
way the expenses are increasing it is about
time some one undertook to quell the mad
ness We have commissions for everything
Imaginable, from measuring the length of
our sheets to managing the railroads, and
each one has it's retinue, or rather army
of employees who are eating up the taxes
about as fast as the taxpayer can pay them
in The people got the idea into their heads
that there was altogether too much politics
and graft in the management of state and
national affairs, and they have gone to the
other extreme and are now getting little
too much Scientific" management. Gov
eminent is not unlike ordinary business, and
in business life the man who succeeds is the
one who applies "horse" sense along with
careful management.
To see the way in which matters are drift
ing one has only to look back over the past
three. years and attempt to explain where
all the money which was paid into the state
highway fund has gone. 1t certainly has
not been spent in actual road making, but
was expended to keep up an expensive
Scientific" road commission. This was
done because it was found" that the farm
ers and ordinary taxpayers who were elected
as county commissioners were not honest
and capable enough to spend this money.

it should have been expended by the COM
missioners | understand that not penny
of this money was used by Sheriff Hodge
personally, and the use he made of the
money was the use that should have been,
but would not have been made by the
board. The commissioners hired special
counsel at an expense of five hundred dol
lars any they got after Mr.. Bob. Now what
Bob did to the commissioners and their five
hundred dollars -- borders close onto
the crime of cruelty to animals. But if I
must say it, our Bob licked the whole out

say in this instance whatever is, is not

The failure to secure sufficient names to
recall Mayor billing and some of the coun-
cilmen conclusively shows that in Seattle,
the recall is not a dangerous weapon. L
believe large majority of the electors, were

ure of the administration has been one of
judgment.
I have never heard Councilman Goddard's
reputation for honesty question and his per-
sistent fight for honest, clean government
should meet with hearty encouragement.
The new council has not been as economical
as the hard times demand and so far as I
know, Goddard has not had the support
he should have from his fellow members
I am inclined to the belief that that man
Goddard ought to be made mayor to succeed
