international Trades Unions Support For The Or.
CARNATIONS Of Servia and Bulgaria

The appeal Of the International Sec
retariat for the support of the labor
movement of Servia and Bulgaria
which has been so terribly deranged by
the war has been well responded to
by all countries. This raises hopes
that, thanks to the international soil
darfty of the workers, the trades IN
ions of these lands will be upheld, and
that their movement, after the def1n-
tie conclusion of thew ar will develop
faster than ever. From Belgrade,
Brother p. PawlowitsIch, the secretary
of the Servian Trades Unions, writes
in regard to the appeal Of the Inter
national Secretariat:

BOYS. IT DOESN'T PAY

Says the Valley Press During. the last few weeks there has been an un- usual number of arrests in Imperial county for serious offenses, particular Iy for passing fraudulent checks and for horsestealing, with the result that the county jail is filled with young men on whose lives shadow has been cast and several of whom are in dang CT of serving long terms in the pen itentiary.
 These young fellows are in most part boys of good general nature, but have been carried away with the idea that they might get something for rIothing. They look the desperate chance of escaping capture, but Tn practically every case, the perpetra- tor of crime has been caught.
 To older people is seems incredible that these young men woould sacrifice themselves in this way, for even Il they should escape from the officers this time. the knowledge that for years they would be subject to arrest would be a gerat hondicap in life.
 There is nothing in life of crime that pays. No man ever won success in life in that way. To be the hunted wolf of society in itself is punishment even if uncaught, and if caught, the years of confinement is about as bad as death itself.
 Imperial county is on the border line. and that fact sems to draw here a good many young fellows of dare devil instinct, and because the Press knows there is good in all these young fellows, it urges them to take time to think before they lift their hands against the law of their country

Colorado river at Yuma-the fedora government having appropriated $25, 900 for that purpose and Arizona like sum, with the understanding that Call fornia would join with a similar sun in the enterrise.
 "The California legislature, at the last session, passed an appropriation for $25,000 which failed to become ( law, by reason of the governors no having signed the bill.
 eff the money is subscribed, the aC counts should all be assigned to one individual as trustee, and the stat could then pas a bill paying the clain of such an individual in the sum ol S25,OOO which, if signed by the gov ernor, would stand every constitution al test. If moral obligation binds tf state, California is bound to provide $25,O0O for it's portion of the cost this bridge construction. l feel con vinced the legislature will do it's owI share, and I think the matter coult be presented to the governor in suc' a way that he would sign the bill which would make the appropriation then available.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 1S.-(Special to the Yuma Examiner). The question of raising Californa's s $25,000 obligation for building the Southern National Highway bridge at Yuma is in a fair way today to be answered with real money.
 Senator L. A. Wright, one of com. mittee selected by Colonel Ed Fletch- CT, chairman, to raise the fund, gives most optimistic and assuring opinion that the state legislature and the gov ernor will meet the obligation at til next session in a letter to Fletche willingly accepting a place on the con mittee and offering to put up a part the money himself.
 The state of Arizona and the feder- al government each has appropriated $25,O for the $75,000 bridge anC their money is ready. Somebody has to advance the California money. Col. Fletcher has secured an influentia committee to work with him to get il
 This committee is composed Mayor Charles F. O'Neall, Julius Wan genheim, Senator Leroy A. Wrig Fred Jackson, B. c. Hinckle, assem blyman; John Forwadr, Jr., and Ee Fletcher, chairman.
 The situation and Nikelihod of the legislature refunding the money ad- vanced is adequately set forth in Sen ator Wright's letter to Colonel Edward Fletcher, as follows:
 Colonel E. Fletcher, City My Deai Colonel You have asked me if, in my opinion, the legislature would pass an act refunding any money that migh be subscribed by San Diego citizens to raise the sum of $25,O00. which is California's portion of the $75,000 fol the bridge to be constructed across thu

ILLINOIS, FIRST WOMAN JURY

Illinois has experienced it's first woman jury-yet the heavens stlll arch unflawed and the roots Of the constitution remain firmly in the SOIL Facetious, unhappily, is the account of the deliberations of the women Apparently the case grew out or "clothes-line" war. The great out standing fact was the service of the women on jury.
 We are told of the depressing gal lantry of the city attorney of East St. Louis. Plugging presumably at his forelock and assuming an engaging smirk, he speaks:

 50 am r. says the magnanimous at torney for the defendent "as six pairs of eyes beamed upon him from the jury box
 A sentimental attorney gives sentl- mental reporter a chance to deprive us of what we would gladly know the merit of the verdict; but that per haps was inevitable. When everybody concerned has become used to the beaming eyes of the dear young wom- en, We shall get more facts.

THE EHALF-M|LL|ON-FOR-ROADS
 MATTER |S UP ID THE PEOPLE

The board of supervisors of Yuma county, acting upon the petition which had previously been filed with them asking for a bond issue for the build ing of good roads in Yuma county have called a bond election for Sep tember 27th, at which time the ques- tion of issuing bonds to the amount of $500,O00 for the building of good roads will be submitted to the tax payers of the county.
 AS stated repeatedly in this news paper, Yuma county is eager to vote bonds for roads as it is the uni"ersai sense that good roads will do more than anything else to build up this section. A million dollars isn't too much if it is spent right. The invest ment will bring a bountiful return.
 Without question, half million dol lar bond issue is far too big a propo- sition to handle in a Init or miss

 IN THE RELIGION OF A SCIENTIFIC MAN

he is in the third stage and is safe he has passed the crisis. In the fourth stage he begins to see that science is a wonderful system of knowledge, but does not solve the origin of things the primal, the ultimate, the first great cause. Here is where faith an swers the wearing of the heart and gives satisfaction to the mind. Then he enters the fifth and last stage. Here he sees that the world, the cos mos, or universe, is one, and that it is the expression of God, God who wills, feels, thinks, and who loves, and that such a belief functions with all his experience, and all human experience, past and present This idea of God gives him hope, makes life real and fits in with the onward progress of the universe, as the historian holds it, evolution, as science phrases it or the will of God, as the Blessed Bible puts it. This is my belief.
 There is no nonetity in the world Atheism.
 Our Atheist is only in the second stage. He has three more heats to run yet. When he has reached the fifth and final stage, he will subscribe his name to his creed, as 1 do here my name to this creed.

PROMOTERS SELL PAPACO LANDS;
 BUT TITLES MAY BE DISPUTED

PHOENIX, Aug. 16. 6.-Prospectuses of a Los Angeles concern that is Of fering for sale half of the lands of the Papago Indians, in Arizona, have now reached Phoenix and caused much comment here.
 The Papagoes own 2,146,56O acres of land in Pima, Santa Cruz, Pinal and Maricopa counties. R. M. Martin, of Los Angeles, who signs the prospectus, claims that several years ago Colonel R. F. Hunter purchased from the In idans an undivided one-half interest in that land which lies in ten differ ent tracts.
 Phoenix attorneys declare that MT. Hunters claims could not possibly be a valid one The Papagoes are not wards of the United States govern ment. like other Indians. They have occupied their lands since l52l and are really citizens of the United States and have the right to vote, but they have never attempted to eXer else their rights. No Indian agents have even been stationed among them.
 Martin and Colonel Huter have di- vided the lands of the Papagoes, on paper, into 1000 tracts of 2,OOO acres each. Five hundred of these units they claim for Colonel Hunter and they are selling them at $1,OOO apiece. They claim that the land is worth from $5 to $25 per acre.
 A Phoenician writing from Los An geles says that 90 units have already been sold.
 For Hunter legally to have bought half the Indian lands, attorneys say, he would have had to deal with each individual Papago.

Not this need be any better than that of any other man, but religion must at times in these days be consid- cred from the view point, especially when religion is attacked by an atheist, who ayers that the Bible is lie: Christianity is a lie; Christ never existed; God is a nonetity; Forty chur- ches are knocked yearly in the United States by lightning; And that science is the only Savior.
 The Bible cannot be lie unless human experience is a lie. The Bible is a record of Hebrew experience as voiced by the Creator. The fact that Christianity rules the world proves its veracity. Every great movement in history was started by some great man. Christianity was started by Christ, who must have lived. The great Philosophers and even scientists even say that ''the denial that Jesus ever lived amounts almost to histor- ical insanity" Jeaan Jacques Rous- seau. considered an infidel, said that II the story of Christ were a lie, the He itself would be more of miracle oi wonder than the true narrative as we have now.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2O.-Diggs took the witness stand in his own de fense, and told his own story of the motives impelling him to what he call ed the Reno escapade" In the word "escapade" is packed the substance of what the witness sought to show.
 All his testimony went to show that he was worried, harrassed, and hunt ed on all sides in consequence of his misconduct, and that his only thought was to get out of town, and give the scandal surrounding himself a chance to die down; then to return to his wife, family and business.
 In direct contradiction to the Wa rington girl, Diggs named her as the one who insisted that they leave the town.

 This bond proposition is one of the biggest things that ever came down the pike and a strong good roads com mission should be selected by the peo pie to cooperate with the county gov ernment until the roads are all built and under such a plan the bonds will carry with a whoop.

SCENE ON BATTLEFIELD

A soldier lay wounded on a hard | fought battlefield: the roar of the battle died away and he rested in the deadly stillnes of it's aftermath Not sound was heard as he lay there sorely smitten and speechless, but the shriek of the wounded and the sigh of the dying soul as it escaped from the ! tumult of earth into the unspeakahle peace of the stars.
 Off over the field flickered the lan- terms of the surgeons with the litter bearers, searching that they might take away those whose lives could he saved and leave in sorrow those who were doomed to die with pleading eyes through the darkness. This poor sold fer watched, unable to turn or speak, as the lanterns drew near. At last the light flashed in his face and the surgeon, with a kindly face, bent over him, hesitated a moment shook his head and was gone, leaving the poor fellow alone with his death He watched in patient agony as they went from one part of the field to another. As they came back the sur geon bent over him again.
 '1 believe if this poor fellow lives till sundown tomorrow he will get we'll" And again leaving him, not with death, but with hope, all night long these words fell into his heart as the dews fell from the stars upon his lips, "If he lives until sundown he will get we'll"
 He turned his weary head to the east and watched for the coming sun. At last the stars went out, the east trembled with radiance and the sun, slowly lifting above the horizon, tinged his pallid face with fuame.
 He watched it inch by inch as it climbed slowly up the heavens. He though of life, it's hopes and ambitions, its sweetness and it's raptures, and he fortified his soul against despair until the sun had reached high noon. It sloped down it's slow descent, and he needed strong stimulants to make him stand the struggle until the end of the day had come.
 He thought of this far-off home, the blessed house resting in tranquil peace with the roses clinging to it's door, and the trees whispering to it's windows and dOZing in the sunshine, the or chard and the little brook running like a silver thread through the forest.
 'If I live till sundown I will see it again. I will walk down the shady lane. I vii open the battered gate, and the mocking bird shall call to me from the orchard, and 1 will drink again at the old messy spring."
 And he thought of the wife who had come from the neighboring farm house and put her hand shyly in his, and brought sweetness to his life and light to his home.
 'If I live till sundown I shall look once more into her deep and loving eyes, and press her brown head once more to my aching breast"
 And he thought of the old father patient in prayer, bending lower and lower every day under his load of sor row and old age.
 eff I but live till sundown I shall see him again and wind my strong arm around his feeble body, and his hands shall rest upon my head, while the unspeakable healing of his blessing falls into my heart. Y"

and morality come through the heart first, and then the mind aids. We can never know God by reason, or in tellect. Kant proved that, and he says the same thing, "Canst thou by searching find out God" But 1 can find God by my heart, my heart which beats long before I could think, and at death continues to beat after l am no longer able to think in this world forever. Our heart cries out for God, we realize our dependence upon him. Belief in Him, and Christ, immortately of the soul function with the reality of life.
 There are five stages of a scientif- ic mans religion. When he starts away to school he still has the simple, childlike trust in God, as taught, say, in the home of his parents. AS he begins to study science and get the modern world view-how man came to be on earth; the gradual ascent in the animal world from the lowest to the highest, man-he begins to doubt his early religious teachings, and un- less he both prays and thinks and ad- justs the old views with the new, and so reconstructs new world view, he entirely loses his faith. If he does not,
 
 he does reconcile religion and science,
