ETHICS OR TRUTH

Dr. Ray Furguson of the valley stat ed to the Examiner yesterday evening that he did not sign the Physicians Certificate as published in Mondays Examiner but stated that the facts in the published statement or certi- ficate were absolutely correct. The Sun says it is false-Why will some man tell us? If it is matter of ethics as pr. Furguson admits, are 4,000 readers of the Fix aminer more interested in that phase of the subject than they are in the real facts. We believe not. The truth in relation to Miss Irene Taylor is as published and the Examiner like every other protector of womanhood is right thankful for the facts contained in the Doctors statement ethical or otherwise. The Examiner cares nothing about or for the success of any of the numerous candidates while a great principle is involved and the iuG pOOolOly Ol IAAC SOO0 OA O pure girl is in the balance. Condemn John M Hess on the basis of the re- call petition and where is there man who will deny that the voters by so doing also condemn clean and pure girl who has been crushed by the awful events which have shap-
 T not the personal popularity or other wise of Superintendent John M. Hess; absolutely not. Yuma citizens look a little deeper and ask yourself what would you do if Miss Irene Taylor were your daughter and her good name at stake in the face of Dr. Ray Furgusons statement the truth of which he does not deny.

INDIANS INCREASE IN NUMBER;
 LANE ID ASSIST THE FARMERS

The United States census esplodes the fallacy of the vanishing Indian race showing that in the past ten years there has been an increase ut the dusky boys and girls of 17,430, or sev en per cent The total number of Indians in the United Staes is shown to have been 265,6S3 in 1910, besides 25, 331 in Alaska. There are 2S0 different tribes in the country, and it takes 5 different kinds of talk, or linguistic varieties, to navigate tie tongues of the tribes. The census bulletin contains this interesting and significant paragraph:
 The fact that stands out most prom inently is the high proportion of young persons among the mixed Dloods as compared with the full-bloods. A sim liar difference is to be noted between the mixed tribal bloods and the full tribal bloods. In both cases the diff ference may be accounted for in part by the fact that mixed marriages had not become common until within con paratively recent years. Another req son for the predominance of the yonng element among the mixed bloods is no doubt found in the greater fertit- ity mixed marriages.

 The conference held by Secretary Lane with the interests and RepreS en- tatives of states where the govern ment has reclamation projects, can hardly fail to be productive of beni. fit, according to the view of Washing. ton.
