The Mexican Situation.

with interest an editorial in one of
our county papers of recent date en-
titled Digging Their Own Graves, >"
in reference to the economic and
moral status Of the people of Mexico.
TIE American press ought to speak
discreetly in passing judgment on the
situation in Mexico. because it is
through the press that public senti-
ment is moulded more particularly.
The American citizen, too, is a stu
dent, using the newspaper as one of
the mediums for his information.
The human mind acts and thinks
generally according to its teaching.
This is due to the effect of sugges-
ton.
do not agree with the writer that
the Mexican people are digging their
graves They might be, but out Of
chaotic conditions, perchance, will
arise a people with new BIRTH
alike unto the glorious liberty en-
joyed by the sons of Americans
wrought from the product Of an op-
pressed people by British dominion
and rule We people here hear too
much about Mexican peonage and il
literacy. From whose hands was
woven the present fabric of Ameri-
can liberty and conservatism? /
build here in my mind product in
the personality of our colonial days,
and hold an ideal wrought from the
poem entitled The Closing Scene"
This poem surely must have been a
product of the colonial days. Such
was the personality of young Amer1-
ca, and it was under such circum-
stances that the yoke was lifted from
the British crown.
To quote three verses of the poem:
She had known sorrow. He had
walked with her,
Oft supped and broke with her the
ashen crust;
And in the dead leaves still she heard
the stir
Of his black mantle trailing in the
dust.
while her cheek was bright with
summer bloom,
Her country summoned and she
gave her all;
And twice war bowed to her sable
plume
Re-gave the swords to rust upon
the wall.
"Re-gave the swords,-but not the
hand that drew,
And struck for liberty the dying
blow;
Nor him who, to his sire and country
true,
Fell mid the ranks of the invading
foe"
Not only does the hideous monster,
ignorance, and rapine stork in Mexi-
can territory, but the cruel and ty-
rannous hand of the political dema-
gogue coupled with monopolistic con-
troll of Mexico's wealth. l picture an
awful plight for our own country in
her effort to deal with Mexico. We
are looked to to pilot this country
over the breakers, and looked to for
it's pacifcation, while we sit aside
and watch those European countries
sweep into her wealth like dirty vul-
lures leaving in their wake the trail
of oppression and want.
1t is lamentable that our country
is not to be excluded from hand by
monopoly on Mexico's producing
power. It would be only the discreet
and honest economist who would go
to Mexico and return with a true ac-
count of her situation.

The taxpayers, real estate taXpay-
ers, have the responsibility in this
matter. l wonder how many of them
are going to consider the benefits
that will go to- the average poor man.
who, the law says, must not have a
voice in the matter because he does
not own any property. Of course
the rich folks. the big property own
ing fellows. will have to foot the bill
and pay the money damages, but in
return their property will be en-
hanced in value. and the town they
have their money invested in will
take on new growth, the health Of
the community will be bettered, and
the town made more desirable in
every way.

BASEBALL NEWS.
Teams in County Play Several Good
Games of Ball.

Ehrhardt, July Sin a pretty
game of ball Ehrhardt defeated Es-
till Tuesday on the local lot, the
score being to 4. The victory OF
the local team was due to. the stellar
work of Moore. He did notable work
on short for the first four innings
and then relieved HERS for the rest
of the game His hitting was parti-
cularly noticeable, getting a double
and triple, scoring two men on each
and later scoring himself. Parnelle
was in excellent form.

Mr.. Editor. there has been so much
written about the war that / feel
sure you and your readers will think
it the height of presumption for d
small atom like myself to venture to
have anything to say about it. Well,
I'll not have anything to say about
the war, for l don't know anything
about it-that is not much. l know,
or rather have good reason to be-
lieve. that Kaiser Bill, King Ed, and
the rest of the bunch even down to
the Gaekwar of Baroda, seem to be
trying to kill each other out. What
was going to say, however, Is that
we will soon have a splendid oppor-
tunity to do some mighty big busl-
ness. With all the rest Of the world
at war, the United States is at peace,
and likely to remain so, despite the
talk of the jingoes. Every product
this country makes for years to come
will be worth gold to the war-ridden
countries. And we may all reason
ably expect to share in this prosperi-
ty, for anything that prospers the
whole country will prosper every in
dividual, even if only a small bit.

I notice that the time-worn "po-
lftical pot is beginning to simmer
is appearing so early as this. Notice
one candidate is out for governor al
ready. Well, it looks as if we do not
finish up with one campaign before
we have to start on another. 1t is
a pity we have so much politics in
our country. Some times one is fore
ed to the conclusiontthat politics and
war are somewhat similar. What
the one does in killing people, the
other does in singing mud and
splashing black things about. Some
times l think that the time for men
running on their merits is about
passed. The usual campaign consists
of one candidate telling the dear
voters why John Doe should not be
elected. Looks like the candidates
might let the people do their own
thinking; but then the muck-raker
would be out of job. They are
elected only by stirring the muddy
water; in other words people vote
for Richard Roe not so much because
Roe is a good man for the job, but
because Roe has succeeded in con-
vincing the people that John Doe is
not q good one to vote for. Let the
people rule.

Death of Mrs. T. L. Ayers.

Mrs. T. L. Ayers died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mabel Schneider, in Oakland, California, on February 5, of this year.
 Mrs. Ayers was one of the pioneer women of Mohave county and was a splendid type of the frontier women of forty or fifty years ago. All her early married life was spent in the mining camp of Cerbat, and where she had a host of friends. She was big hearted, amiable and one of Gods own noble women. Wherever she was known there will be sadness in the hearts of the people over her demise. She leaves husband, and two children to mourn her loss.

About week ago the papers of Phoenix and the southern part of the state were filled to overfowing with joyous paens of the good that came to them in the way of the deluge of water, but just now they are noisily proclaim ing that the floods left the roads in per feet condition; that there are no mud holes at any point along the Sand Dune Route, (which to be romantic they have labeled the borderland route.) This re- minds us of the people of southern Cali fornia, who shiyer at the mention of the cold and frosts of the east, but only have that delightful tang of winter when the frosts come to them at home. And when the terrific storms destroyed breakwaters, undermined houses and carried them to sea, week ago, the delightful old sea god sent back the self same sand and piled it up in deco rous order under the buildings it had un- dermined, and spliced new piers onto the ones that had been broken up few days before. Thusly it is delightful to have it for one purpose, but don't tell anybody that it came and made impass- able the roads that lead to the Sand Dune country.

Would Foster Enterprise.

For the stated purpose of protecting and fostering legitimate mining inter- ests of the Tom Reed-Gold Roads min ing district, which recently reappeared in the limelight on account of two gold strikes, and which is tributary to Los Angeles, an organization of influential mining men was formed Thursday at the Sierra Madre Club. It is to be known as the Tom Reed Gold Roads As sociation.
 There are about twenty members, mostly residents of this city and Pasa- dena. Carl F. Schader was unanimous ly elected president, and H. E. Woods, secretary.
 Details of the organization and plans for modus operandi of the association will be worked out at a coming meeting. Following is a statement issued by the organization.
 'The great activity in the Tom Reed Gold Roads mining district has brought about the forming of an association for the purpose of protecting and fostering the legitimate mining interests of that district, now the largest gold-producing section of the State.
 "One of the principal aims of the as- sociation is to safeguard the interest of the investor so far as the Mohave coonty gold fields are concerned, and to create an interest in Los Angeles the logical center for operations in that country-in the largefree-milling gold deposits now being opened up. It is recognized that Los Angeles is now headquarters in the West for mining in- vestments on larger scale.
 Among those enrolled in the associa- tion are Carl F. Schader of the Pioneer mine, Col. L. P. Hansen of the Pitts burg mines. E. H. Newland of the United Eastern, Dr. c. Hartwell and w. s. Ball of the Boundary Cone, s. M. Warmbath of the Big Jim group, James Conlin and D. Worth of the Ma zona Company, J. H. Hoffman and H. c. Taber of the Tom Reed, Jr., Con- pany, J. L. Hummel and Julius Rhodes of the Orion Company, H. E. Woods of the Lexington Arizona Company, H. K. Wheeler, Gold Ore Co.,, Telluride Gold Mining Co.,, Carter Gold Mining Co.,, D. F. Wright of Black Range Co.,, The Iowa and others. Los Angeles Times.
 In line with th!s proposition the Kingman Chamber of Mines held a special meeting for the purpose of meeting H. E. Wood, of the Lexington mines, who was looking after the matter of publicity for the Oatman- Goldroad section. After MT. Woods stated the object of the new organi- zation the Chamber agreed to assist the publicity campaign to the amount of 2OO$ for three months and that later another contribution to the campaign would be forthcoming. The publicity association plans to put thorough man in the field who will send out uptodate facts regarding the mines of the whole district to the vari- ous newspapers and thus disseminate the gospel of good to the world. This goldfelds of Arizona needs only un- vanished publicity to get results. It is wonderful gold section and only needs the introduction of money to get results.

An interesting old book published in 1913 tells of the first discovery of platinum, metal which is now being more and more used for articles where gold and silver were once necessary. It is said to have been found at Choco and Santa Fe in South America, and was long supposed to exist only there. It has since been found in Brazil, in the Ural mountains and in Spain. It was at first used chiefly in chemical ex- pertinent and research. It has many of the qualities of gold and silver, such as ductility and malleability. It looks most like silver but has a different sheen, and is especially good for setting diamonds or indeed any jewels.

Bradstreets reports the bond market in shape for the immediate absorption of large issues of securities, and in stances the taking of the entire issue of 49,OOO, ,OOO$ of Pennsylvania 1-2 per cent consolidated mortgage bonds at 1O9 3-4 in support of it's contention. Other desirable bonds should find a ready market, wherefore we would ad- wise the putting out of an issue of high school and road bonds as soon as practi- cable. The United States banks are glutted with money, and this money should be used for internal improve ments instead of the taking up of the war bonds of European nations. It is up to our local school boards to get busy and participate in the good times forecasted by Bradstreet.
