DE WITT BROWN, 0N HIS WAY
 HOME, FALLS FROM TRAIN; DIES

where the party was awaiting train connections for this city.
 Enroute to the Ash Fork station the victim, through gasps of breath told the official and physician a story with many pathetic features.
 Brown is survived by a widow and two children, who reside in a cottage he purchased for them in Phoenix. He was but 27 years of age. Married on the coast, he removed to the state capital in search of health. There, in addition to discovering the elixir of life, he also was able to make a liv- ing for his family and lay a little away for a rainy day In a short time he purchased the small but cosy home on the installment plan. A month ago he had paid off all but $50 upon the property.
 At that time, feeling we'll and find ing things rather dull about Phoenix, he decided to go to the coast and seek employment. Several days after he arrived in San Francisco, he became i'll and telegraphed home for money. None coming, he determined to make his way back to the land of sunshine as best he could. It was while upon this trip that he met his tragic fate

F THEO. ROOSEVELT
 WERE PRESIDENT NOW

It is rather peculiar to see the Port land Oregonian making a list o things that would and would not have happened had Theodore Roosevelt been elected. The Oregonian was one of the standpat Republican papers anC the candidacy of Roosevelt last cleo tion, was ridiculed.
 The Oregonian says:
 If President Roosevelt had sent Mr. John Lind, or any confidential agent, to Mexico he would have supported Lind in his demands with all the great powers of the United States, and he would have gone through.
 If Theodore Roosevelt had made UT his mind that he had duty to require Huerta to resign, Huerta would have resigned, either under persuasion or through compulsion.
 If President Roosevelt had discover ed that Americans in Mexico were be- ing murdered and their property de spoiled he would have protected them and not required their protection by the weak device of asking them to leave Mexico.
 If Theodoe Roosevelt were presi dent, he would have used the Big Stick and not merely the Big Talk. In the one instance it's display would have been sufficient; in the other it was nothing but empty talk.
 If Roosevelt were president, we should have an outright diplomacy for Mexico, and not the diplomacy of hesi- tation, barley and failure.
 If Theodore Roosevelt were presi- dent, there would be peace in Mexico if he set about to compel peace
 However, Woodrow Wilson is now president, and we believe he is doina his best to conserve the peace of both the United States and Mexico.

TWO MYSTERIOUS FIRES GAVE

on top of all the high buildings in town, and the Main street school building on the south side of ;hs thea tre by almost a miracle was saved.
 The total loss was about SI0,0C0 with $4,OO0 Aetna insurance on the Teller theatre building.
 Louis Levy, of the Wigwam theatre had contracted to move to the Teller theatre on October 1 and was already laying plans for the transfer. As the theatre will now have to be rebuilt the removal cannot take place until November or December, if at all
 The loss to pr. ApJohn and the Fio- neer stables was nominal, though the fire necessitated a hurried removal to the street, and a moving pack again after the fire.
 A thorough investigation should be made into the cause of these fifes, and if a fire bug is at work, mete out justice that such work deserves. Yuma has played lucky in the matter of recent fires and the work of the fire department has been all that could be expected, and much more; but let's get to the bottom of the cause, and do it NOW.

Lajero who left Mexicali the first of last week to crush the uprising of the Constitu- tionalists in Lower California, return ed to hi post Wednesday afternoon with reports of a fight last Wednes- day afternoon at a point which he terms Corral Bicoco.

Firing was commenced, but the enc my were forced to flee with the loss of four of their men. The COnstitu- tionalists are said to have been forced across the Colorado river, passing on over into Sonora and another band crossing into the United States. Col Lajero says he would have easily cap turned or killed the entire enemy ex: cept that his men were afoot and the rebels mounted and were able to get away. He feels that he has crushed the uprising entirely. Two prisoners were brought in with the Federals who were thought to have been asso- ciated with the insurgents, but whc have been identified as Americans and uninterested in the rebellion, an( they have been liberated.
 The report that Lajero's men were sick and unable to travel as the re- suit of drinking impure water is dis proved by the return, as well as Col. Lajero's denial.

J. ]. WADDELL Is NOW
 BOOSTING FOR ROADS

The increased value of lands vii pay for modern roads says J. J. Wad dell, of Yuma, in a letter to the Ex aminer from his summer home at Man kato, Minn And such is the univer sal verdict Then why is there man so foolish as to fight any road i'm provement?
 It matters not whether every detail suits everyone; the fact remains that Yuma needs the roads and must have them and every man who fights to defeat the coming bond issue is doing himself and his neighbor the great est injustice.
 The fight isn't even won when the bonds have carried at the polls-for then the money must be secured in blocks of $50,000 at a time, and in the present troubled condition of the money market it may not be the easi- est thing in the world to get the money at once; so let's carry the bonds and get started. The moral effect alone of carrying the bond issue at this time will give Yuma a much-needed boost on the outside Defeat the bonds and you give Yuma a black eye, MT. Cit izen.
 ' It is encouraging to note that the big men-the men who have to bear the biggest share of the taxes-are boost ing for the half-milIion-dollar bond is- sue for roads; and when such men as J. J. Waddell of the Southwestern Land Company boost for a thing it means something. Read his letter:
 Mankato, Minn., Sept. 2, 1913. The Yuma Examiner,
 Yuma, Arizona.
 Gentlemen:
 I note with a great deal of pleasure that you are advocating the bond issue the proceeds of which will go toward the construction of roads in South western Arizona If there is any one thing that will help n the setting of the Yuma project, it is good roads. Ii has been the history of any new coun- try where money has been appropriat- ed for good roads, the value of land adjoining increased a great deal more than the cost of building the roads.
 1 also note that some of the heavi- est taxpayers of Yuma-Mr. Sanguinet ti being one of them-are working for this bond issue. This shows that these people are wide awake, even though they will have to pay higher taxes for few years but the settling of the country is bound in the long run to pay us all; and I, for one, am very much in favor of this bond issue and hope you will keep it before the peOple right along, so that it may carry.
 I expect to be back in Yuma soon, but will not be there in time to vote for the bonds. With knd personal regards to MT. Shorey, I am
 Yours very truly,
 J. J. WADDELL.

THE TAX ON CIVILIZATION.

Chicago Tribune: The Underwood
bill when it came out of the house,
provided that paintings In oil or water
colors, pastels, etc, not imported as
articles Of utility and sculptures that
are he work of professional sculptors
only shall be admitted free of duty.
The Payne-Aldrich bill had confined
the duty on art to work less than 20
years old. The Underwood bill made
art free. That was intelligent and
consistent with the protestations Of
democracy against undue protective
privilege.
But while in the hands of the SEN
ate the time limit is once more adopts
ed and raised far above the Payne-Al-
drlch tariff-that is to relieve from
duty only art work proved so years
Old. The rest is to be taxed Is per
cent ad valorem.
The change is r~eactionary and
senseless. If there is n real respect
Tor the alleged democratic doctrine
OF tariff for revenue only, it should be
strong enough to undo this piece of
stupidity. An art tax lis not needed
Tor revenue, and American art does
not need protection in this fallacious
guise. The tax Is a tax on taste and
culture. American artists resent it
and American art is injured BY it.
The house provision should be restor-
ed without fail.

The system Of monthly evening din
ners for all members OF the Fargo

of these dinners will be held on the
evening of Thursday, Nov. 20 at 6
o'clock at the Fargo Commercial club
dining assembly rooms.
This social gathering among the
business men of the city proved a
decidedly popular feature of the club
several a ago. They were given
when former Lieut.. Gov. Robert S.
Lewis and Pres. Il. J.. Weiser of the
First National bank were presidents
Of the club.
These series Of dinners, which tend
ed so to strengthen the commercial
conditions Of the states metropolis
at that time. ceased in the early
autumn of 1910 when the old Prize
building, in which the commercial
club was then located, burned and
have not been revived since.
Upon the completion Of the re-
organization of the club it has been
decided by President Watson to re-
vive this system Of popular monthly
dinners.
All the members of the club should
bear in mind the evening Of the first
dinner so as to make the mmenc
ment Of the revival an suspicious one
