Arizona sentinel Yuma southwest., 1915-06-10

A few words about real values Congress has just passed an appropri- ation of $725,000 to continue the work on the Yuma project from June 30, 1915, to July 1 1916, or approximately s2,O00 per day including Sundays and holidays This daily expenditure is sufficient to purchase, at present val ues, an ordinary farm unit each day of the year, and during the year 365 units will have their present entire value expended simply to continue the work for the twelfth year of opera tions. While the towns-people want the appropriations, the settlers do not want them, for the reason that each appropriation simply adds to the al- ready heavy burden-5flat is, accord ing to the Departments interpreta- tion of the law. These 365 units con- stitute very large portion of the en- tire project. The settlers do not thank our Congressman Hayden for helping to secure this appropriation, but would thank him if he could hold up every appropriation until the law of estimated cost is finally settled, and settled right in accordance with the terms agreed upon by every possible precautiOn, at the time the project

If Carranza entertains the idea
he can strengthen his power and
government in Mexico by visit
ing harsh and cruel penalties
upon the Catholic church, it's
priests, and nuns, and its sister
hood, he has made a fatal error
even before he gets seated in
security as the President. The
day has long since passed when
persecution of any of our relig-
ious orders brings strength or
vital support to temporal power.
The Catholic church is one Of the
great civilizing forces in the
world, and if Carranza succeeds
in driving it out of Mexico even
temporarily, which we doubt
very much, he will rue the day
Of his folly.

If the republicans of Arizona
want a live, progressive business
man as their candidate for gov
ernor, we would suggest they go
to Flagstaff, and look over T. E.
Pollock. He is of the sturdy oak,
who would bring brains and abil-
ty to the gubernatorial chair, and
Arizona would soon realize that
a business head was in control.
But if the the popiticians want a
Eastwood stick. whom they can
control as a puppet to Go their
every bidding, Mr.. Pollock is not
the right timber. The people are
more interested in good govern
ment than in the distribution of
spoils to political mercenaries.

II was big crowd at the thea
ire Christmas night to witness a
fine film production of the love
of an Italian laborer for his moth
er-less little girl, and his anguish
over her death when she was
killed Christmas eve by an auto
mobile. No doubt the sympathy
of the audience even went so far
as to draw a tear, but as the
writer watched the picture he
saw two greater tragedies even
though they were minor charac-
ters. One was the dissolute son
of a wealthy father, whose only
ambition was to lead a wild, RI
bald, sensual life: the other was
the trusted employe, dazzled by
the apparent friendship of the
dissolute scion of wealth, robs
his employer to pay for the wild
orgies planned by the other. AS
we gazed at the scene we thought
that with all the squallor sur.
rounding the humble quarters Of
the Italian laborer, with the
child of his JOY still in death, WE
would rather be him than the
wealthy father Of the dissolute
son, or the father of the thief
The Italian had a holy grief he
could tell to friend and stranger
and the pain in his heart was the
reminder of a pure life that wa:
once his, but now only swee
memory; it is the simple TRACED.
of death. The other two were
the tragedies of life. The pa
rents cannot share their grie-
with either friend or stranger
it is burden of shame and dis
grace to be borne in silence an(
alone. When will young mer
ever realize that a greater grie-
even than death can be visited
on their parents, by a dissolutt
or dishonest life?

1t was announced by County
Attorney Jordan in court a few
weeks ago that grand jury had
been called for January. Judge
Sapp has been in Winslow since,
and now the information is slow
ly seeping out that no grand jury
will be called at least not until
some more propitious occasion.
Is>it possible that the visit to our
city had the effect of changing
the judges mind? Who could
he have consulted concern
ing the calling of grand jury!
Certainly not with the good wo-
men of Winslow. who voted for
him so unanimously year ago,
thinking he was most just and
upright judge. Whois opposed
to the calling of a grand jury? Is
it the church people, the W. c.,
C. u, or the business mems or
ganizations? Why then does the
Judge change his mind: What
and who were the real propelling
forces? Let us get at the facts.

With the dawn of tomorrow a
new year will be ushered in, and
it behooves US to look forward to
greater possibilities; forgetting
the old year that has gone with
it's failures and disappointments;
live in the future, and remember
the past only as mileposts in life
to marx your advance to the goal
of your ambition. The old year
brought its cheer and gladness,
it pains and sorrows, and it's fail
ures, but rest not on the sue
cesses, but reach out for greater
things; and brood not over fail
ures, but take fresh courage and
wrest a victory from defeat. 1t
is only when ambition fails, and
courage Weakens, that the fu-
ture holds no hope. The shrewd
business man takes account of
stock with the new year to learn
his measure of success, or to get
at the reason for his losses, and
that is what we should do with
life at this season. A little re-
trospection may show where we
failed, so we can correct the mis-
takes, and even if some have at
tanned measure of success a lit
tie meditation will disclose posi-
bilities for a larger sphere of
usefulness. Let us then wei

red up not a little commotion,
when in a recent sermon he
declared the movie camps" in
that city are breeding places for
immortality, and young women
are getting film crazy. AS was
to be expected he has brought a
storm about his head, with all the
salaried artists writing him let
ters denying the conditions exist.
Phe writer's of the letters failed
to get the minister view point,
and are unnecessarily exciting
themselves and gaining not q
little ridiculous notoriety. The
remarks of the minister do not
reflect on the actresses who have
arrived, and are established in
the profession, but it applies to
the hundreds of foolish girls and
women, gone film crazy, who
haunt the movie camps every
hour in the day and every day in
the week. They are so infatuat-
ed to get in the movies that they
lose all sense Of modesty, and
when confronted with bartering
their virtue for promised infu-
ence to get them place they fall
easy victims to the lechery and
lust of unscrupulous men, that
are always to be found in such
an indiscriminate assemblage as
are attached to a movie camp.
For managers or other prominent
characters connected with the
moving picture game to deny the
truth Of the minister's statement,
and advance their own particu-
lar case as a refutation, are
either trying to deceive, or they
are densely ignorant of existing
conditions that have been gross
ly apparent to all observing
people. There is no doubt
hundreds, nay possibly thou
sands. of noble pure-minded men
and women are engaged in the
production of moving pictures,
and the minister's remarks in no
way applies to them; but the
thousands. of poor misguided
foolish maids and even married
women, who are film crazy,
these are they who fall the easy
victims, and put the brand Of
immortality on the movie camps.
What is true of the movies would
be true of any other passing fad
that would disease the brain of
any considerable number of
young women, and have them
about seeking to get in
the limelight. In a more limited
sense the preachers remarks
will apply with equal force to
many girls in the cities holding
positions as stenographers, pri-
vate secretaries, and other con-
fidential positions. They are
drawing down good salaries, not
because they are competant
but because they are
to make sacrifices that
other young women spurn with
scorn and Indignation. 1t is to
be regretted such conditions
exist, for there is always the
tempter's voice whispering to the
underpaid, virtuous girl, Does
it pay" She sees the other girl,
not nearly SO competent as
herself, in some easy employ
ment with short hours, always
gaily attired, painted and roug-
ed, dining in fashionable cafes,
and joy-riding at night; while
she has to work long hours for
pay, is compelled to dress
eats a lunch from a
meagre lunch box, and spends
her evenings quietly at home.
The only wonder is that more do
not fall, which IS a grand tri-
butte to the sterling worth of
young womanhood, which is to be

INCREASED COST OF FOOD
CAUSED BY SPECULATION

Madrid, Spain, April 10 Cores o.
pondence of the Associated Press .-
The increasing cost of food supplies
in Spain, which has resulted in a
number of food riots, as reported by
cable, is charged solely to specula-
ton. In 1914 the crops were bet
ter than in previous years. with an
excess of 100000 tons of wheat over
the crop of 1913, but Notwithstanding
this prices have mounted so high the
government has been forced to take
measures to avoid monopolies, and
has intimated its intention of fixing
the maximum prices.
Wheat, cereals in general, potatoes,
beans and other products have been
exported in great quantities to France
and England. Numerous French ag-
ents have bought beef and vegetables
at prices above normal, and Switz-
erland alone last month bought for

products from Spain. All this has
caused a natural crisis which has
been felt severely in the provinces.
The high prices. added to the fact
that IVORY in the factories is paralyzed
in almost the whole of Spain, is ren.
dering the workman's life impos
sible. Public works on the govern.
ments account have been begun in
some provinces but nevertheless ii
has not been possible to eliminate
the existing bad state of affairs. The
trouble has reached its greatest in

month disorders broke out in Murcia,
where groups of workmen paraded
hetts now
the streets in hostile attitude. In
Crevllesute more than 1000 people
walked the streets demanding bread
and work. In Cadiz, Laragoza, Lt

similar disturbances took place. In
Albacete the crowds protested to the
civil government and the governor
ordered them to be fired upon. One
person was killed and several wound
