GOVERNMENT AID
 IN ROAD BUILDING

Representative Shackleford has been a staunch advocate of government aid for good roads, and he almost put one over on Congress by attaching a "ri- der," appropriating $25,000,00O as a provision of the postoffice bill. How ever, it was decided that the postofflce appropriation bill will not be encum- bered with this measure, which is big enough to stand upon it's own legs, and win or lose according to the judg- ment of Congress. The bill proposes to divide the appropriation of $25,- 000,000 among the states in proportion to the rural delivery routes and post roads of each state. For instance, Texas would get 1,126,2 ,25O, while Ken lucky would only receive $5S3,75O.

|S PRESIDENT WILSON WATERING
 IN POLICY TOWARD THE SYSTEM?

stand like rock against the combined power of the System that seeks to turn him back from his pledges to the American people,"
 There appears plenty of evidence that the perfect understanding" be- tween the President and the Wiscon- sin Senator is getting out of order. Nevertheless both gentlemen have done first-rate in getting along thus far, since it is no disparagement or disrespect-and possibly not even in- formation-to say that both gentlemen are seldom satisfied unless they are running things themselves, and abso- lutely in their own way.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 31.- Especial to the Yuma Daily Examiner Tn the beginning-and since differ ent beginnings have varying places on the perpetual calendar, let the time herein be designated as March 4, 1913. We'll, in the beginning, then, Senator LaFollette went over to the White House, and spent pleasant evening with President Wilson. Since LaFollette had terminated relations with the aforementioned White Houst very abruptly year or more previous ly when president of his own party was running the federal machine, there was good deal of prominence attach ed to the event. The Wisconsin sena- tor put the notion into the presidents head to deliver his messages in person to the Congress, a la Wisconsin style, and thereby did MT. Wilson a splendid turn.
 MT. LaFollette also voted for the Underwood tariff bill, and fell in line for the currency bill. But of late he has been murmuring complaints, de- claring that the currency bill was pas ed in haste in a form acceptable to the big bankers" in order to allay the "growl of the idle labor"
 Haunted at the head of every is- sue of LaFollette's Weekly are the lines: "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.' And as part of this truth, the senator as- serts it is "an open secret that the administration and the Democratic leaders of the Senate and House have been very nervous for many weeks" The reason is attributed to the claims that the National Manufacturers Asso- citation claims to be able to show that within the past ninety days two hun dred thousand wage-earners have been thrown out of employment.
 Business depression cannot be de- nied, although men like Secretary of Commerce Redfield may attempt to explain it. The result is that the Washington atmosphere is permeated with suggestions of compromise. Senator LaFollette fairly hates that word, and he is shouting in his loud est tones against the transactions that have been taking place in the depart ment of Justice wherein the big in- terests have taken their cases to the Attorney General and gone away with agreements that would permit them to rearrange their methods of doing busi- ness. without being prosecuted as any trusts" The senator sounds the tos- cin for "all honest men, all patriotic, all forward-looking men" to come for ward and "urge President Wilson toI

VALLEY FARMERS DECIDE ON
 SHORT STAPLE VARIETY IF COTTON

but the Yuma valley farmers, in their search of a royal road" have decid- ed to waise all possibility of the best grade of cotton, and will plant short staple because it is said to the easi- est of cultivation.
 Following is the tabulated vote, which was made upon the motion ot MT. Jacobs to decide the wishes of a majority.
 For the Egyptian.
 Morrow, 10 acres; Hamilton, 8 acres.
 For Durango
 Patton, 80 acres; Bard, 100 acres i; Schafer, 20 acres.
 For Short Staple
 Jacobs, 75 acres; Power, 20 acres; Crammer, 60 acres; Fuquay, 40 acres; Forkay, 75 acres; Stinnett, 50 acres; Hayden, 10 acres; Sergeant, 50 acres; Porter, 80 acres; Rickett, 2S acres; Church, 20 acres; carvin, 60 acres; Thurman, 40 acres; Henery, 20 acres; Kirkey, 40 acres.
 This is vital step and should be given very deep consideration. Every one, whether concerned personally in cotton growing or not, is interested in the development of the community through it's various industries.
 It was further decided that thorough cooperation with the San Pascual valley farmers, a gin could be obtain ed. A committee of two, A. H. Kent and Ralph Jacobs, was appointed to look into the matter of cooperation with the Bard country and for organiz- ing under the Produce Growers Asso- citation, which is already established. This would give them the use of the lot on Tenth street for a location for in shipping as cotton must be shipped by carload lots. The committee was instructed to write immediately to the Continental Gin Co.,, for prices and terms concerning their gins. The committee will also look into the mat ter of obtaining seed from Blythe from which place it could be very cheaply rafted down the river, thus saving freight charges.
 The next meeting, February IA, will also be very important one.

AS between France and Germany apart from the latters superior war footing, the total of the fully trained reserves in the Fatherland would be the most potent factor in a prolonged struggle and also the justification for vigorous initiative despite early heavy losses. Both Germany and France have in the last two years in creased the period of service from two to three years. In France this lengthenfng of the term with the col ors aroused great deal of opposition not to gay discontent.
 Immediately back of these soldiers are the first reserves, men who but recently have finished their full tours Of active service and of course are familiar with the latest practices. Now look at the foregoing figures. Ger many's peace footing Is only 29,S95 men stronger than that of France, but upon the first call to arms this moder- ate superority immediately jumps to the greater figure of IA, 4,203, giving the kaiser an advantage of nearly 21 per cent. But this is only the beginning of the difference.
 Germany's total reserve of fully trained reserves-men trained with peculiar thoroughness-is today quite e,ooo,o00, while the admittedly less ex. actingly drilled reserves of France number but 3,250,O0O rank and file. Here, as can plainly be seen, the Fa- therland leads by 1.750, ,O00-two and a half times the war footing of France. while still having in reserve as many as France would have at best.
 Setting aside the question of the relative military value of the training or the German and the French sol diors, those of France carry a maga- zine rife of eight milIlmiters caliber nd the German infantrymen repeat

PETER R. STEWART RESIGNS
Had Been President of the Union Coal
 Miners Since 1908.

Fort Smith.-Peter R. Stewart of McAlester, Okla, president of District No. 21, United Mine Workers, resign cd Saturday. His resignation was sub mltted to meeting of the District Board at McAlester It was accepted.
 stewart has been president of the district union since 1908 and gained wide reputation among union miners organizations in the United States. His resignation came as a distinct surprise and it is strongly hinted there will be more developments. Since charges were preferred against Fred w. Holt, secretary.treasurer of the district union, of accepting funds from the coal operators to use his influence in certain wage contracts affecting the miners and operators, there has been turmoil within the ranks of the union.
 The District Board of the United Mine Workers of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas, in session at McAlester, Okla. elected William Mclaughlin of Huntington president of the district to succeed Peter R. Stewart The office of vice-president occupied by Edward Cunningham of Thurber, Tex, was declared vacant and Thomas l.. King of Bonanza, was elected to fill the va cancy.
 It is reported that Cunningham will appeal Cunningham. it became known Monday, was suspended by Stewart before the latter resigned, and this led the District Board to vote the office was vacant. A special election has been called for December 2 to fill the office of president and vice president permanently.

FINAL PRAYERS

LEo's SUCCESSOR BREATHES HIS LAST AS THE NATIONS
 ASSEMBLE FOR WAR.

Rome.-Pope Plus x. died at 1:20 o'clock Thursday morning He had been i'll for several days, but alarming symptoms did not develop until Wed nesday morning.
 The cardinals were notified of the pope's grave condition and some of them who entered the sicl; room de scribe the scene as heart-rendering, es- pecially when the pontiff, rousing him self from time to time. spoke Once he said, Tn ancient times the pope, by a word. might have stayed the slaughter. but now he is impotent"
 Extreme unction was administered by Monsignor Zampini Sacristan to His Holiness, amid a touching scene The popes sisters and his niece were overcome with grief. Cardinal Merry del Val knelt by the side of his bed where other cardinals joined him, members of the household intoning prayers.
 The dying pope in moment of lucid. ity. said:
 "Now begin to think as the end is approaching that the Almighty in his inexhaustible goodness wishes to spare me the horrors Europe is un- dergoing,"
 The Giornale dltalia, discussing the difficulties of holding conclave for the election of a pope while the world ts at war, says that even if Italy were among the belligerents, every facility would be given the Sacred College to meet. It expresses the belief that a new pope might be chosen from among the foreign cardinals, for instance Cardinal William Van Rommum of the Archdiocese of Utrecht.
 The Tribuna says: The pope was the victim of the war In these latter days he dictated a great number of dispatches and tried to avoid the hor- TOTS of a European war. The rupture of peace broke down the last remnants of his strength"
 That the pope was grieving deeply over the state of war in Europe even to the last was evidenced by his words

 This means that any hash oeauc- tions made upon the basis Ni hen's won and lost up to date maH SooN prove absolutely misleading
 The question then arises: Whi6h ol the struggling armies can reach V ieS war strength soonest, and, with tylat attained, what are its chances ftva.r maintaining that standing in the gruA cling days to come? The answer Is matter of administrative efficiency first, and then follows naturally the relative merits of the reserve material upon which the nation can draw as battle after battle and disease thin the ranks of those in the field. At present the Germans are virtually fighting alone four other nations, but their initial setbacks are not properly true index of what Is to come in the near future.
