JAS. COWLES WARNS
 AGAINST AIR TRUST

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 13.- Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner by J. E. Jones-It may be long look ahead, but somehow there is good deal to prove that James l.. Cowles, who fought for the parcel post for thirty years, has a way of discounting the future. Now MT. Cowles has tolo the Interstate Commerce Commission that, in addition to government owner ship of railroads, telegraph and tele- phone lines, that, while it is in the business, it should take over the air carriers. Mr. Cowles predicts that lair craft will soon ply the skies, carrying passengers and possibly freight, or least the mails" And, he adds, "be fore these air carriers are in the hands of powerful corporations, from whict it would be difficult to wrest control, they should be taken in charge by the government"
 This may all sound improbable at this time, but it must not be forgotten that when MT. Hitchcock was post master general, that several success full tests were made in carrying mail through the air. At the same time it has been demonstrated in France that carrying passengers in airships is entirely practical. This statement may be disputed because of the blow ups of the Zeppelin airships, but it must be remembered that the horrors of the air have been featured the world over, causing many people to lose sight of the real progress that has been made. Quite likely some may laugh at the suggestion that air craft may become practical instruments oi of transportation; but, in 1S45, when the government had the first telegraph station in it's postoffice, the idea of making it a permanent part of the potsoffice department was hooted.
 Now, after the telegraph has become a national necessity, the government hesitates to acquire it principally be- cause of the great expense involved.
 Perhaps MT. Cowles is right, after all, and it is just possible that the only trouble with his proposal is that he is ahead of the times. If so, it migf be a good idea for the government tc attempt to catch up.

THE cHINk AND HIS OPENING

The consular trade reports of the United States occasionally give infor- nation from United States consults in reference to the opium traffic of China. China seems to have more trouble with her opium than some of our prohibition states do with liquor. The Chinese government has brought down the weapon of exclusion upon certified shipments of opium from In- dia, and has made the sale of the drug to users in Hongkong a government monopoly.
 Of course, India has kicked" and the results of the commercial warfare between the two countries is likely to mark the beginning of the end Of the opium trade in China and Hong Kong.
 Consul General George E. Anderson at Hongkong estimates that the year 1914 opened with stocks in China at about $60,OOO.OOO gold, and this at a time when the retail trade was prac- tically stopped through the restrictive measures adoped by the Chinese gov ernment. China has been frantic over the matter, because it's banks have been advancing money, and it's mer- chants have been loading their stocks with opium.

THE STORY IF HOW GENERAL
 VILLA BECAME AN OUTLAW

At the death of his father, Francisco or Pancho, was left in charge of the Villa ranch in the state of Chihuahua and with it resumed the responsibility of his mother and a young sister, the latter a Mexican beauty of coquettish tendencies. Becoming enamored ot the county sheriff of the city of Chi lhuahua, the girl eloped with him. Forgetful of the marriage ceremony the couple fled to the mountains. The enraged Rancho, with an escort ol cowboys and a priest, pursued the runaways. Overtaking them, he forced matrimony upon the unwilling sheriff, then handing him shovel, commanded his brother-in law to dig a grave That horrid task completed Pancho shot down the terrified bride groom and rolled his body into the pit.

THE INEFFIcIENcY OF THE CIVIL
 SERVICE

A congressman Gudger of North Car
 olina wants civil service examination!
 every six years, this is to include al
 people who work for the government
 Democratic congressman are trying tC
 loosen the hold the Republicans have
 upon the smaller postoffices; ant
 since the policy of the administration is to uphold the civil service form oi government, the process is not as easy as it might be, notwithstanding the fact that the postmaster general iI providing competitive examinations throughout the country has shown ia
 voritism.
 MT. Gudger explains his bill, which he says, would in four months reju. venate the civil service. New life will be infused into it; the drones and incompetents will be weeded out. Pol itical hangers-on will make way foI vigorous men threshed from the ranks of the people," declared MT. Gudger. Discussing this phase of the proposi tion more in detail, the congressman succeeded in throwing considerable light upon the present day methods He says:
 q am not frightened by the cry which I know will go up from those who feel themselves secure in their places under the present dispensa- tion-that my proposition goes back to the Jacksonian theory that to the victors belong the spells. I do not deny thatsI would be glad to see a Democratic administration surround. ed by as many employees cc tie Demo cratic faith as can be put into posi- tions, with due regard, of course, to the proper maintenance of government While I would not replace an efficient Republican by an ineffi- cient Democrat, would be more than willing to supplant such a one in the service by an equally qualified member of the party whose standar, is so splendidly upheld by our great president, and whom the people of the United States have in- trusted with the government of the country.
 Tt is my honest belief that at least fifty per cent of the present incum- Oents of the classified service are in- efficient. I keep within bounds, think, if I assert that at least one third of this number are so burdened 0y the weight of years as to be un- lble to maintain the degree of efficien- y to which the government is entitled, md the other two-thirds fall short of he highest standard of efficiency in other respects. I have not the least loubt that such competitive exami- nation as is proposed in my bill will enable the government to reduce the present force in the classified service tt least twenty-five per cent, because he new material will be about twice IS efficient as the fifty per cent who nave held office for many years in he expectation of holding on for the balance of their natural lives"

does not dare to leave, as he would like. The only reason the military authorities tolerate him is that he is the y elected governor of the state chosen at a constitutional election, and they cannot well afford to over throw him because they are opposing Huerta for doing this very thing.
 When Maytorena has settled his ac- counts to the satisfaction of the mill tary authorities, it is probable that he will be given another leave of al sence and be succeeded by Ignacio Pesquiera, who was governor of the state following the revolt against Huerta and the flight of Maytorena to Tucson.

 It is expected that there will be embodied in the telegrams a plain statement of the deplorable state of affairs resulting from the order ot the secretary of state for the exodus of all Americans from Northern Mexi- co, and the present policy of the Amer ican government as it effects those who have interests in Mexico, pointing out the hardships being worked on the Americans, if their own government expects them to ultimately return to Mexico without any drastic action than is at present apparent
