the northern district of Lower Cali fornia, and, according to law, there is a heavy penalty against such violators of the law. Notwithstanding this fact, General Cantu recommended that Joe Delgado should be treated with leni- ency; therefore, the judge consented to liberate him, and, as a matter of fact, the recommendation of General Cantu, this was actually the case, ow- ing to the notice that was sent that the grandmother of Delgado, who is a Mexican woman, was very ill on ac- count of the imprisonment of her grandson. This notice was conveyed by Mexican whose name is Lito Romo, whose appeal was attended to; therefore, it goes to show the good feeling which General Cantu has had for all his brother Mexicans."
 My information is that by tomorrow Gov.-Gen. Cantu will either officially recognize the Carranza government or declare his section independent of all factions and attempt to hold it against the world But he is now, as he has always been, real friend of the United States.

What impression do you put on conditions in the northern district of Baja California;" 1 asked
 q have only been in Mexicai and assure you that I was really aston ished at the tranquility that exists in that town. The government of the General Estevan Cantu, jefe politico of the northern district of Lower Cali fornia, has accomplished perfect or der, living strictly up to the consti- tutionaI laws of the Republic of Mex ico. All the government offices are under a perfect organization. The civil judges of their respective sec tions of the northern district of Lower California are conferring real justice in all cases brought before them. The lines of communications are entirely in good order The general direction of the customs houses and the frontier customs houses are performing then duties as in normal times In fact, everything is running absolutely in perfect order. Contrary to the gen. eral supposition, there is no discrimi- nation; citizens and foreigners are all treated alike"
 How about Gen. Cantu's army?" I asked.
 ''The army of General Cantu is really an army. He has large num- Der fo troops, perfectly equipped and armed. The officers are part of the former federal army-the majority of them are students of the military school in Mexico City, and they have successfully formed cooperation of the highest discipline"
 What about conditions in general?"
 'The progress of the northern dis trict of Lower California under the regime of General Cantu is astonish- ing. You know that in the times of General Diaz he had set aside a fund to cover the running expenses of. the governor of Lower California, but in those days the receipts were not suf- ficient to cover the expense Notwith- standing the fact that General Cantu

Will Mexicai Gouernnent Recognize Car ranza or Remain Independent of All Factions Until Staple GoUernment Is Established?
(By B. F. Fly)

The Mexican situation is becoming most acute, from a Yuma-border standpoint.
 We have but one company of United States regulars To- 'cated at this point and just at present these 60 odd men are scattered all the way from Yuma to the Mexican border, five miles below Cadsden.
 Our home militia company is now doing patrol duty in the Clifton strike zone, leav- ing Yuma wholly under the care of Capt. Murphy and his Company D, 12th Infantry, U. s. A.
 Under these circumstances and in view of the fact that Uncle Sam has just recogniZ- ed the Carranza faction as the de facto government of Mexico, and in view of the further fact that opposite our border has at all times been regarded as Villa territory, it is interesting to know just whether Governor General Cantu will recognize Carran- "a or remain as a possible ad- herent of Villa.
 1 have just had a most in- teresting interview with a personal friend who is largely interested in Mexican proper ty. He has just returned from Mexicali, where 1 pre- sume he held frequent con- ferenceS with Gen. Cantu. At any rate, know he knows what he is talking about, for he is very "close to the throne" of Governor-General

expense at present and has added very many substantial improvements in the different towns within the district he | dominates.
 Tn the northern district of Lower California everybody is paid in Mexi- | can or American gold. The army of | General Cantu is also paid in gold. 1 The soldiers wages are one dollar and ! ten cents per day. Therefore, you can see that the industries and com | mercial business have reached uni versally satisfactory stage, notwith- standing the increase in taxes which | cover more than the current expenses. The surplus is invested in municipal improvements, among which are, in Mexicali, a city park, strictly mod ern sewerage system, and wagon bridge across New River, which has greatly benefited the ranchers."
 ''They say that General Cantu has taxed the commercial houses and that lately he has decreed a large custom tax on the eXportation of cotton" l suggested.
 'The government of General Cantu. is a government that stands for or der He has many enemies who will spread false statements against him. The tax that the farmers pay is in equity and as a matter of fact and of further proof, the circumstances that exist instead of closing some new ne gotiations regarding cotton. Recently [ General Cantu had conference with the merchants, commissioners and farmers of Calexico and MeXicali and then agreed that the exportation tax on the bale of cotton would be reve nue stamp of one dollar, this not sig nifying a custom tax, but a contribu tion tax of the interior, according to the Mexican laws.
 "The. government of which we are talking not only has made efforts for the progress of the northern district, which it dominates, but has tried, in every way, to establish schools. In all the towns there are public schools and also in ranches populated by the Cocopah Indians they have installed some rural schools"
 What attitude will General Cantu take on account of the recognition of General Carranza?"
 General Cantu, being a great patri- ot, he is a man of principle I am sure he will know how to sustain his government and comply-as he has been doing-with his duty General Cantu may not have to recognize Car ranza as he is perfectly acquainted with the old Diaz senator and un- doubtedly he will continue like a good firm Mexican, giving every kind of a guarantee that is prescribed by the constitution, which he dominates.
 Until there is a constitutional gov ernment in Mexico to which he will render account and believe me when this time shall arrive-which we hope will be soon-General Cantu will be highly honored. You will note his just and honorable administration and Mexico will note it in history among

THE NEED OF THE Hour

Some one shouts, rum, another,

and some one else, more of this ex-
cellent weather. Europe cries for
men to feed cannons and food to feed
the orphans. As a matter of fact our
abnormal desires constitute nine
tenths, and our actual needs, about
one tenth Of what we ask for.
One pressing need is for normal liv-
ing We are either making lots of
money or we are making none. We
take in all the pleasures going or we
cut ii out altogether. We are going
the limit in extravaganza, or we are
as close as miser. We are terribly
religious or we are as Sodem and Ge-
morrah. God help us to be reasonably
temperate and consistent.
With this we need controlling con
victions, There are too many low
places in our standards: too great a
sag in ideals; too little of the rock
ribbed principle of loyal purpose.

PRESIDENT TABoos THE 400
President Wilson recently declared
that the world could dispense with
high society and never miss it; where
upon some of the fashionable set re-
piled to the effect that people Of wealth
refinement and education, who in a
large measure constitute what is
known as the best society" are as
valuable to the world and its affairs
as any othe- class of people. a close

does not indicate that ne was attack
ing worthy people, but simply meant
to pay his "lack of respect" to the
silly ounces who are most conspicu-
Gus in the world because Of their at
tempts at putting on airs
The INCOME TAX
In order to be certain that all in
come tax statements shall be filed in
time a penalty of not exceeding s10,-
900 is provided in the Federal law.
Therefore, all people who have not
made their proper report March !,
should hasten to make settlement for
their absent mindedness.
LUCKY COMMISSIONERS
Perhaps the best position in the
is that of membership of
the new Federal Trade Commission
since it pays $4,000 a year, and after
the commission is fully established
the term Of Office will be seven years.
There are no other officials of the
Government, with the exception of
judges who serve as long and the sal
