MEMORIAL DAY

Yuma had no memorial service to day but each citizen went in his owI quiet day to decorate the soldiers graves on the Mesa.
 The graves of the soldiers of tha' great war are a sacred heritage t. the loyal, liberty loving people of this republic. The struggles and incidents of that fiery period in our history the many gallant stands made by the Blue and the Gray, the heroic devo tion to home and country, and the mar velous sacrifice made on both sides of the Mason and Dixon line, hav, hallowed those graves as no other were ever honored.
 Over the fiercely contested battle fields, where life and everything dea to humanity and Christian hope were freely offered and accepted, is now freely spread the mantle of love. Tn old flag that emblem of long-cherish ed institutions, free government, anG the hope of the world, today floats il love and reverence over a happy, uni ted nation.

TARIFF ON LEMONS
 NETS s3,000,000 A YEAR
WILLIAM ALDEN SMITH FAVORS EVERYTHING CALIFORNIAN, IN GUIDING LEMONS.

Washington, May 30.-(Special to
 The Yuma Examiner). Of course it is natural enough for the California man to say, "Oh apropos the Titanic disaster, what do you think of our Californian climate?" Or else, "Ah, yes, sun spots no doubt affect our weather, but apropos; did you ever seen finer lemons than we are ship ping out of Riverside and San Diego now?"
 It wasn't a Californian, however, who, at hearing by the Senate Con- mittee on Commerce, asked Willis Booth, of Los Angeles, in the middle of a panegyric on the Los Angeles harbor, if his talk applied to lem ons?" It was Senator James A. Reed, of Kansas City, Mo-, and it was a case of ''apropos'' because the Senator had been petitioned somewhat exten- sively by his constituents last summer not to urge the removal of the duty on lemons. Senator Perkins, of Cali fornia, broke into the testimony at that particular juncture to say that he hoped for Senator Reeds kind consid- eration for lemons California lemons, not Sicilian-and Senator William All den Smith, fresh from sojourn by the gentle wavelets which kiss the sands of San Diego bay, the beach at Newport, and the shores of fair Ven ice, announced his firm friendship for everything Californian, including lem ons, which he said were cheaper than ever before and-he added-which thrived under tariff that brought $3 O00,000 year into the Federal Treas ury, while still permitting the foreign fruit to find profitable market in this generous country.

MONUMENT
 IN HONOR OF EVE
WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO SHOW APPRECIATION FOR THE UNIVERSAL MOTHER.

Washington, D. C., May 30.-(Spe- cial to The Yuma Examiner). While we are talking about monuments and memorials, whats the matter with a monument to Eve?
 By all accounts, Eve was a great woman. She was our universal an- cestor. None of the genealogists ever get any farther back than Eve. And Eve was a suffragist. She was equal partner with the head of the house. Get us call him so by courtesy any way) in the fruit orchard known as Eden. If Adam didn't feel like trying the qualities of the apple-or lemon, as some believe it to have been, (while the Californians declare it was an orange)-Eve invented the initiative to meet the occasion, and so became the first Progressive What though both Adam and Eve suffered the Ire call' in consequence? Eve still de serves a monument at the hands of her descendants, for the habit of eating fruit has survived to this day, and who would be willing to forego the benefits of .the great discovery of Eyes fruit-whether apples, lemons, oranges, figs or what nOt-are good for the system and beneficial to the complexion, besides adding to the fam fly expense account unless grown in your back yard?
 Perhaps we have not shown Eve so much honor as she deserves be- cause the earlier chroniclers did not dress up their facts with as much wealth of descriptive laudation as marks the effusions on the society page of the journals today. It is not too late to honor Eve Why not have Congress erect a monument to her fame?

MANY GRADUATES
 RECEIVE DIPLOMAS
9TH GRADE GRAMMAR SCHOOL BOYS AND GIRLS REWARDED FOR FAITHFUL WORK.

The Teller theatre was filled to it's capacity last night with the patrons and friends of the Yuma Grammar school to witness the graduation exer- cises of the eighth grade pupils. Twenty-two boys and girls, constitut- ing the graduating class, were pre- sented with diplomas by Chairman of the Board of Trustees, J. H. West over, assisted by Principal John H . Williams.
 The program of the evening was good and was listened to closely.
 The music was excellent, showing the careful training of the pupils by Miss Thompson.
 Charmain Robertson delivered the salutatory; Theodore Coulter read the class history, and Rose Marquard de- livered the valedictory.
 Luva Hess gave the class prophecy.
 State Superintendent J. O. Case of Phoenix, was present and was intro duced by Superintendent J. M. Hess, of Yuma MT. Case made short and interesting address.
 The time when the members of graduating class are handed their Gi- plomas is an occasion of real enicy nent, not only to the relatives of the graduates but to their many fir: ends as well. The general public takes decided interest in such occasions.
 To the spectators the sight of tn, graduates being handed their diplomas is signification of work we'll wone honor merited, and an honorable school career brought to the pOin' where the graduate can start ont on life's journey prepared to w.ge ar honest fight for aGvancement.
 State institutions of learning are by the taxpayers of 'ht commonwealth. " ose who support such institutions have right to have their wishes respected as to ,aftalrs school customs.

WRONG NAME

In the report of the death of 2 Mexican who was killed in Yuma Val ley by falling in front of a wagon and being run over, the name given proves to have been erroneous. Mex ican Consul found on the body let ter addressed Rudolfo de la Torre, and suppOsing this to be the mans name so gave it for publication. Yesterday de la Torre called at the Consulate and stated that he had given the let ter to a fellow countryman whom he had asked to get his mail at the postoffice, so that the postmaster might better understand the name. He did not know the name of the man who was killed

PLEASE BE MERC|FUL
 ID EVERY HORSE
EXAMINER RECEIVES A coMMUN- lCATlON CALLING ATTENTION TO IMPORTANT MATTER.

The Examiner has received the fol-
 lowing from someone that has a heart for poor dumb brutes, with the re- quest that attention should be called to some infractions of law sometimes seen on the streets. The writer says: Editor Yuma Examiner:-
 Summer is approaching for Yuma and vicinity.
 The writer has taken the liberty to write and ask you to appeal to the people through the columns of your valuable paper to care properly for the animals they have under their pro- lection.
 There isn't a doubt but what the animals in this country suffer untold tortures from thirst during the sum- mer months.
 When We stop to consider that poor dumb brutes have to rely entirely upon human beings for any comfort they may have, it becomes a serious matter ,and We must answer to a high er power for any neglect or abuse We may inflict upon them.
 Unfortunately, Yuma does not SUD- port an s. P. c. A. Society, and brutal drivers feel at liberty to shamefully abuse their horses.
 "The other day we were compelled to stand helplessly by and watch a Mexican lash and snap his blacksnake above the horses he was driving, while they strained desperately at a load far beyond their capacity. Another instance: A driver started to unhitch magnificent team of mules he had been driving, presumably owned by the Government. AS he lifted his hands the mule nearest him reared, and backed in effort to escape contact with the man. To the onlookers it told a silent but eloquent story of brutal blows and inhuman treatment. If only Maud could have whispered few of her fancy stunts into the ear of that great magnificent mule, MT. Driver would have taken a flying trip into Kingdom Come-a fate he richly de- served.
 "The Indians pass our hotel in great droves on horseback, and I have yet to see one of them give their lines a vicious jerk or spur their horses when they wish to hasten them. When they have occasion to strike the horse they strike across the flank. It migat be we'll for some of the Americans and Mexicans to emulate the example of their Indian brothers.
 Editors of the great New York dail- les devote time and space in an ap- peal to the people for human treat ment towards animals.
 For any effort you may make in their behalf, MT. Editor. allow me to extend my sincere and heartfelt thanks. and could our dumb friends Dnt khcw and understand, they would iSe up zen masse" and call you blessed"
Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1912-05-30

They are resolved that this govern.
 ment shall be conducted in the pubic interest. They are determined 10 bring to an end the long continued usur- patton of the powers of government by Special Privilege for it's own sel- fish profit. A better and a brighter day is dawning God he thanked that the exploitation of the people by plut- ocracy draws near its end.
