of the true situation became gener- ally known. MT. Shanssey was called to account and admitted that he had made mistake which jeopardized the interests of the political court house ring.
 While this is only a Democratic family row, it serves as an apt illus tration of the fact that politics and party interests me first and business second at the hands of the Democratic office holders trust in Yuma county, for right in the midst of the expen- allure of $500,000 of the peoples money for good roads, an engineer who has had the matter at hand and is posted as to the most judicious way to make the expenditures and favor the best interests of the county, is dis placed to make room for an ineX- perienced man who IS an entire stran- ger to the needs of the people in this regard, and who knows naught of the details of this important piece of public business.
 Here are the facts, proving that politics and party perpetuation is the guiding star of the Democratic court house ring:
 J. A. Donovan, Democratic chair man of the board, was a candidate for sheriff, and defeated by Mel Green leaf at the primaries. It makes no diff ference, for the purpose of this argu- ment, that Greenleaf has had his face at the public crib for the past twelve years, one of the most expensive lux uries the county ever enjoyed. J. H. Shanssey was a candidate at the pri- maries for re-nomination as a mem per of the board. Ike PrOebstel, the third member of the board, and c. M. Hindman, then county engineer, live in the Wellton district. Donovan did not receive a single vote in that pre- cinct and Shanssey received but two votes at Wellton. It follows that this discharge of Hindman was the revenge of Donovan and Shanssey because of their opposition there. Business to the winds, there was a political grudge to settle, and just what this gang of office holders has always done when it came to paying political debts at the expense of the county, they did it in this instance to get even with a political enemy. In other words, poll tics first and the interests of the peo- pie later.
 It is not probable that the already over-burdened taxpayers of Yuma

steps ought to be taken to safeguard
 the Pacific coast against foreign in-
 vasion, which he apparently knows
 just about as much about as he knew
 how to treat farmers on a reclama-
 tion project But we here on the Yu-
 ma project object to his injecting his wild cat" schemes into a proper solu- tion of the Colorado river water prob lem, especially do we object to having the waters of the Colorado diverted at Palo Verde.
 MT. Sellew also says in his Los An geles Times article, or rather he made the statement in a speech before the congress held in the City of Angels, that it will never be feas- able to conserve the waters of the Col orado river by storage dams, a scheme that is being given much study by the government engineers. Storage dams up the Colorado would give us cleo rtical power enough to run every rail- road in the west, and in addition sup ply the necessary power to run every factory on the Pacific coast, as well as give every farmer in teh west all the power he needs to run his house and all his industries with electricity. This has been one of the fondest dreams of the government for several years past, but now here comes Old Man Jupiter Plu Francis Sellew and declares that it can never be done. Save the mark. What he doesn't know on this subject would fill book so big that he could not read it through in fifty years. He is simply trying to scramble the eggs a little more, so far as solving the Imperial Valley water problem is concerned. And why he should butt in" at this particular time is somewhat of a mystery, unless it be that he wants the job Of driving that thirty-mile tunnel for the Palo 6rQo lnCdk6. DUI HO VIII AANN live a mighty long time before he Will have the pleasure of beginning the job.
 The only logical thing for Imperial Valley to do is to connect with Yuma oroiect at Laguna dam, and unless mistake the sentiment of the good people of Imperial Valley they are very much in favor of doing that very thing at the earliest moment pos sible The new board of directors or rmperial Valley are in favor ot solV-
 ing the question in that way, ana believe they will lose no time Ill so solving it. I predict that within SIX months the Imperial Valley will be lnder government control-and that means work will begin before the end If that time in connecting with La guna dam.
 In the mean time forget all about Jupiter Pru Francis Sellew and hls Dalo Verde solution of the Imperial Valley water question. Drowning men very often grab at straws, and then are never heard of again.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

The recent election is peculiar in that both
candidates enjoyed the exultation of victory and
endured the pangs of defeat. This was hard on
the eventual loser whose friends and family had
enjoyed the privilege of anticipating his access
sion to the highest office in the gift of the nation.
This much is peculiar but what follows is
significant. The west acquires an Importance in
future presidential. races that has been unknown.
It becomes a real doubtful section and to it's pro-
gressiye tendencies the politicians of the East
must give heed.
Personally we think this is good for America.
The West brings many new ideas for the South
and East to adopt. 1t will preserve the equili-
brium between the hide-bound democracy of the
South and the hide-bound republicanism of the
Northeast. 1t will offset the sectionalism of the
eastern North and South. It will balance the
concentrated power of the great %populous states
which have been known as the doubtful states
and whose support has always given victory to
a candidate. This, we think, is a thing for Amer
lea and while the decision of The West may not
be our decision we do not let that stand between
us and the lesson of the past election.

dependence upon foreign supplies ex-
lists and attention is being given the
development of neutral resources. The
silk consumed by the American silk
industry comes partly from Japan and
Italy, China supply about one-eighth
of the present import.
ut seems that none of the goods
chiefly imported into this country
during 1918, really need be imported
and that they could be done without
for a prolonged period by using &C.
cumulated stocks if it should become
imperative in the interest of the ma
ton to dispense win such imports.
The development of American indus
try has been n of opportunity, con-
venienc eand economy. American man.
%ufacturers, therefore, have abstained
frequently from making goods the
manufacture of which did not seem
profitable under American conditions
and have left it to the importers to
supply the real or imaginary needs
Of the country. When two years ago
the regularity of this convenient sup
ply was checked, a shortage of certain
supplies existed until the American in
dustry adjusted itself to new. condi-
tions."
