STRAIGHT PARTY VOTE
 MENACE ID FREEDOM

The Arizona Socialists hon. ored Yuma county by nomin- ating Judge P. T. Robertson for governor. If elected he would give the state an able administration, untrammeled by the bosses of either dom inent party. The people are not ignorant of this fact, but nevertheless aside from the independent and progressive voters most folks will con- tinue to vote 'er straight. and the net result will be about the same as last time. The politicians care little for what the masses think so long as they vote like sheep, not for the man, but for party.

The request made by the Mexican commissioners at the New London conference that the United States enter into an agreement to make things unpleasant for such Americans as violate neutral ity by engaging in conSpira- cieS against the peace of Mex ico is eminently reasonable. In fact, it is so reasonable that all the United States would be obliged to do would be to enforce it's existing statutes on the subject.

NEW BOARD IF DIRECTORS
 PLAN ID HOLD FIRST MEETING

Calexico Chronicle: The first meeting of the new board of directors of the Im- perial irrigation district is slated to be held at 10 o'clock this morning, according to a statement made by Leroy Holt of Fl Centro, one of the members of the new board, last night.
 J. M. Edmunds of CaleXico, also one of the newly-appointed members, has been in Los Angeles for some time, and it had been his plan, it was stat ed yesterday, to remain there for two or three weeks to recuperate in health and he had further planned to rest for some time after his re- turn to the valley, before again taking up active duties in connection with his private business.
 But with the new position which

has been placed upon him by the ap- pOintment, it is understood he is eX- pected to arrive at Fl Centro this morning to attend the first meeting of the board.
 Further than organization and talk ing over plans in general way, it is probable no definite action will be taken at the meeting today.
 It was stated from an authoritative source yesterday, however, that the general plan of action of the new beard would undoubtedly not be ac- companied by any particularly drastic 
 It is considered probable that the new board will listen to the board of engineers. If the plans of Chief Engineer Redwood are pretty generally upheld by the consulting board, then prabably no steps will be

Yuma county had another candidate before the primaries who would have greatly honored the state in educa- tional matters-we refer to Miss C. Louise Boehringer, Yuma's competent county superintendent of schools. The women of the state were entitled to representation, but again the party lash was stronger than right, backed by the women The nomination and election of c. Louise Boehringer to the office for which she is so splen- didly qualified to fill, would have been tower of strength to Arizona throughout the nation and a lasting credit to Arizona Democracy.

VIOLATING THEIR NEUTRALITY
 ENFORCE PRESENT LAWS

There is not the slightest doubt that ever since the beginning of the revolt led by Francisco I. Madero against Diaz, many violations of MeXi- can neutrality have taken place in the United States. It is likely, also, that if they had been directed against a stronger power than Mexico, the United States would have been called upon to explain them, and possibly to foot large bill on account of them.
 It is well known that, during the Madero revolution recruits were open ly enlisted in the United States. It was done right here in Yuma These recruits were marched down to

CARUTHERS' SLAYER DISCHARGED
 STRONG SELF DEFENSE PLEA

tering the store, was attacked by Car uthers. Johnson retreated to the auto mobile, being followed by Caruthers who drew his gun and threatened to kill him. Johnson told him that there was no occasion for trouble and that they could settle their difficulties peaceably. Caruthers replied with an oath and said that he intended to have trouble right then. He walked around the automobile and attempted to take Johnson out of the machine Johnson then moved to the other side of the car, which was a Ford truck Caruthers then climbed over the back of the car to the right-hand side, grabbed the top support with his left hand and pulled his gun down on Johnson with his right hand. It was then that John son fired, shooting him through the heart. Caruthers fell back on the ground. Caruthers' gun, a .32 auto matic, had the safety off and was fully loaded with a cartridge in the barrel
 The court, after hearing this evi- dence, found that there was no prob able cause for holding the defendant to answer and by this decision com pletely exonerated Johnson of all blame.

Government By The People In Demand

The value of political par ties organized on the Ameri- can plan is being put to a Se- were examination this fall. Of course, there will be par ties wherever there are differ enceS of opinion. The ques- ton is whether the American type of party has not tended to shift the emphasis from opinions to organization, so that we now have two great parties whose differences of opinion are not sufficient to excuse their existence, and which do not in fact represent the great split in opinion which cuts across the coun- try.
 Whatever life has been injected into the present campaign, aside from the vivacity which comes from a passion ate desire to hold offices and share spells, has been almost all accidental and unexpected. It was an accident which placed Woodrow Wilson in the chair during the European war, and thus made his party defender of the new neutral policies; it was an acci dent which consigned Mexico to MT. Wilson's supervision; it was an acci- dent which placed the railroad strike before him for settlement.
 The traditional policies of the great parties were remotely, but not direct Iy, connected with those adopted by MT. Wilson in these emergencies. In the settlement of the railroad wage dispute MT. Wilson fairly turned his back on the principles of his party and countenanced an extension of the federal power, which is entirely incon- sistent with the states rights creed. It is on these decisions, rather than on traditional policies of any kind, that the outcome of the election depends. The independent voter, who is the po- litical boss of the country, will vote for or against MT Wilson on Mir. Wi sons record rather than for or against the Democratic party on the party's record.
 If one believes this to be true he will not be patient with the use of the party organizations to dragoon votes. Instead of clarifying the issues the are helping to confuse them. The fuzzy compromises between the radical and conservative wings of both parties mean simply that an attempt is being made to set aside i'm portant differences in favor of un-

TUCSON, Oct. 6-Russell 6 I. Johnson, who was charged with murder in the second de- gree, growing out of the kill ing of Eugene CarutherS at Gila Bend on September 21, was discharged at a hearing before Justice of the Peace DeSouza at Phoenix Wed- nesday. Johnson was repre- sented by Judge John H. Campbell of Tucson, with whom was associated Alexan- der and Christy of Phoenix.
 John B. Ryland, president of the Gila Land & Cattle Company, of which Johnson is manager, attended the hearing. Judge Campbell and MT. By land returned to Tucson this morning.
 The nine witnesses examined by both sides told practically the same story. All agreed that Caruthers sent word to Johnson that he wanted to see him in his store. Johnson. who was in an automobile in front of the store, went into the store in response to Caruthers' request and, upon en-

Butler is Fortunate.

During the present hot, dry
spell Butler has been more for
tunate than a majority of the
cities in this part Of the country.
In both Rich Hill and Pleasant
Hill the authorities have eau
toned the consumers not to use
the water to sprinkle lawns as the
water is getting low. The Butler
waterworks plant seems to be able
to furnish an abundance of pure,
wholesome water. Mr.. Letton, of
the Home Produce Company, in
forms us that his plant is turning
out IA tons of ice for local con-
sumption every "a hours, which is
ample for all the needs of Butler.
When you think conditions are
bad just call to mind some neigh
boring town where the water is
neither plentiful or wholesome
and good ice not always to be had.

this morning slightly damaged
the plant and set fire to a mass OF
copies of the Menace, an anti
Catholic publication just off the

The damage cannot be estimat-
ed accurately, but officers of the
company have placed the figures
tentatively at $1,000. 1t is evident
that the explosive was planted in
an attempt to destroy the presses,
as the three explosions occurred
near their foundations.
Dynamite was used in the effort

examination of the partially
wrecked building late this after

to confirm the belief that bombs
had been used.
