"A KNOCK IS A BOOST

The Yuma Daily Examiner is for sale. The owner says: 'No reason at all for selling, except the owner wants a rest" If it didn't look like a knock we would say, perhaps Yuma wants rest, too.-El Centro Progress
 Brother Tout, we. know you can't help it. Anyway, it is true that The Examiner is for sale. Any man who knows the business will find here the best modern printing plant in the Southwest; but standard printing ma chinery runs away up into money. The man who knows the business and has the money don't always go together and may be we won't get our rest soon.
 Anyway, we have nothing to give away, nor is The Examiner earning 36 per cent on S20,000 investment

HuERTA SEEMS DOOMED

The latest dispatches from all over the Mexican republic indicate that the Huerta rule will last but briefly, and it is being demonstrated, very clearly that withholding recognition from the present Mexican regime by the Wash ington administration is proving more potent in hastening it's downfall than armies been landed, as the latter course would most likely have reunited the Mexicans-at least for time. In terfering in family row usually brings temporary peace and a com bined assault on the wellmeanine third party.
 Lacking recognition from this coun try, the Mexican leaders in nomina charge of the republic are unable to borrow money, which means that tho armies can not be paid nor the othe. expenses kept up satisfactorily under present conditions. The revenues which the Huerta administration are able to collect fall far short of being sufficient to finance the government and if no loan can be obtained present unfavorable conditions will grow rigorous.
 Most of the rebel strength is in the northern states, but the Zapatas have been joined by number of lesser leaders in the movement to overthrow Huerta, whose forces are entirely in adequate to cope with the rebels ex cept in a circumscribed territory.
 The fact that the Mexican people will not stand for the present admin isration is decidedly to their credit The wanton murder of President Ma dero, accomplished by treachery, sen shock over the civilized world. Red handed assassins as rulers are no to the liking of this government nol of other governments in this enlight ened day. Huerta can expect no mora support; it is only question of how soon the rebels overwhelm his blood stained rule and sweep him and Diai out of the country Speed the day.

STEWART ARRA|GNED
 ON ANOTHER CHARGE

PHOENIX, April 29.-An almost un- precedented action in the history of American criminology took place on Monday morning when William Stew art. convicted of murdering Frank Hilpot in Gila county in September, 1910, and serving a life sentence for the murder in the Atlanta peniten- tiary, was arraigned on an indictment charging him with the first degree murder of Fred Kibby.

ADVERTISING AND NEWS

News is any recent or fresh intel igence or information concerning any matter or event." and advertising Is giving news relating to business. The ordinary doing and happenings are not news. For instance, to say that Jones, the dry goods merchant, sells calico, is not news. But to say that Jones, the dry goods merchant, sells the regular price is news, business news and advertising.
 That advertising may be effective, productive and stimulating to business it must be done in the way of convey ing information.
 To say that Smith is still making good goods honestly, and that the peo- pie ought to eat his product, conveys neither specific nor interesting infor- nation. But to show why Smiths goods are good, how the goods are made and why they are made that way, why they are palatable, why digestible, and why healthful, are all points of interest conveying intelli- gence. Of course. the news must be told by the advertiser in way that is convincing. Every one is open to con viction. It is up to the advertiser tc demonstrate the real value of any product for sale Every good product will profit by this test for the people are quick to take up with anytime they know is good, and skeptical about a product of which they know nothing. If a product can not stand the test of publicity it will go off the market as it should. And a merchant whosc business can not stand the test of pub licity will not make a success of hiS business.
 When the merchant put the same arguments and intelligence into his ads that a good salesman puts into his talks to sell a commodity, then will newspaper advertising become i'm mensely profitable.

If the government adopts the rec ommendation of the United States grand jury last week with respect to the disposition of the cases of persons charged with the sale of liquor to ln- dians under the care of an Indian agent, a new and growing industry of the copper-colored brother will be nip- ped in the bud It is little more than a year since the smarter and more interruptions of the government wards learned that they could apply the ex- isting practices to their financial v vantage by tempting drunken MeXl- cans to give or sell them liquor, thus creating a case which provided the victim" with witness fees, to say nothing of the pleasure of trip to Tucson, the expenses of which should be paid by the government.
 Under the plan proposed by the grand jury, these cases win be sus2- narily disposed of by resident com missioners.
 During the administration of Miss Anna c. Egan as superintendent of the Fort Yuma Indian school. several boys were accused of working up cases against white men just for the trip to Tucson.

NEW PLAN PROPOSED
(New York Tribune)

The Japanese government is taking the logical course which was forecast in these columns some days ago. It perceives that the real point at issue between it and the United States is not so much the proposed land law of California as the naturalization law of the United States. In forbidding un- naturalized aliens to own land and in giving them time in which to dispose of it, after which it would be forfeited to the state, California would merely be following the example of the fed eral government of the United States and of the imperial government O Japan. Obviously, a protest against that by Japan would be inconsistent and a protest to the United States government would be in vain.

BEFORE FoRTY-NlNE

An extract from the diary of Walter Colton, the Alcalde of Monterey in 1346, contains this quaint bit of "so- cial justice":
 "A lad of 14 was brought before me today, charged with stealing horse. The evidence of the larceny was con, elusive, but what punishment to in. flict was the question: We had no house of correction, and to sentence him to the ball and chain on public works, among hardened culprits, was to cut off all hope of amendment and inflict an indelible stain upon the youth; so I sent for the father, whd had no good reputation himself, and directed him to inflict 24 lashes on his thieving sons back He proceeded as far as 12, when I stopped him.
 "1nflict the rest, Soto,' said, 'on your own evil example; if you had been upright yourself, you might expect truth and honesty in your boy. You are more responsible than this lad for for his crime; you can never chastise him into the right path and continue yourself, to travel in the wrong
 Here we caught up with this Al calde of nearly 70 years ago? Father is to blame, but somehow we don't often see it. Father" has been boss so long that we even take meekly whatever excuse he gives for any botch work. And there's terrible botch somewhere-in spite of all the wonder. full things he's done-or there couldn't be so much wrong and poverty and crime and heart-break in the world.

DiSREGARDING THE THERMoME-
 TER

Are we Yumaites in business twelve months out of the twelve; or eight months only? Twelve.
 Very we'll. That being the case, are we going to do a good business thfee- fourths of the year, and merely 'rock along for the remainder? Why not rush things all the year? There's money in it.
 It is true enough that good many of our people go away in the summer time, but relatively small percentage, after all and as some go away others return. Those who return, and the vast majority who leave, all buy. Un- stimulated, dealing with merchants who have come to expect slack busi- ness in the warm months, they buy just what they absolutely need. Many desirable things they do not buy, sim ply because their attention is not suitably directed by an alive-and-jump- | ing retailer who is hard after business every day and every day throughout the year.
 The Examiner believes that so long as a man is in the game, he should continually hit the ball with every ounce of strength he possesses; that there should be no slack times or lie down periods which any agency in hunan control can prevent.
 The Examiner proposes to be just as live and energetic in the summer as in the winter, to serve it's patrons just as VI in the summer months as now-and better, if possible-and to go after business with great zeal and with an eye solely to the merits of it's proposition, wholly disregarding the thermometer. We would be very glad to have every business and profession. al man in Yuma join us in similar de termination. How many will enroll with us in the stay-busy club?

SUICIDE AS A WAR MEASURE

The copstitutionalists of Sonora have learned that war can not be con- ducted on wind and high-sounding, patriotic utterances, When it was de cided that resistance would be offered to Huerta all other activities were sus- pended with an utter disregard for consequences. Sonora had time for nothing but war and the generals and colonels went forth in long array. It was war with nothing behind it and no hostile country in front upon whom the troops might subsist.
 All means of production were taken away. The government seized the only railroad in the state and it was to be used chiefly for the transportation of troops. Thus, Sonora cut it's com munication with the outside world. There were no supplies, no fuel for the factories and the mines. Everything was brought to a standstill and in this short time the people have been brought to the verge of starvation Here was suicide as war measure. No less foolish than this procedure was the proposition to make the for eign owners of property within the state pay the expenses of the war.
 We do not know whether the federal government of Mexico is any better than the state government of Sonora. It has not so displayed it's folly, per haps, because it has not yet had so good a chance.

CASH LEFT BY MApERo

So much has been said and written recently and published in the news paper press of the United States with regard to the finances of the federal government at the City of Mexico, a great deal of which has been guess work or presented from ulterior pur- poses and motives, that it might prove interesting to the readers of The Elk aminer to know the truth.

 Lie. Esquivel Obregon, the present incumbent of the office of Secretary of the Treasury. in his report to the Mex ican Congress, states very plainly the condition of the federal treasury as he found it upon taking charge, which was done in the presence of a con- mittee selected by the Congress from among it's own membership. MT. Ob- regon states further that it is not his intention to create political an imosities by reason of his report; but that he considers it a necessity and his duty to give the facts and figures as shown by the books and official rec ords.
