respect the Bull people for their one
ness and their unity Of spirit and
are only grieved that for reasons be-
yond our conception they are blinded
to every cause that stands for the
good of the county. Had they so
much as a selfish reason for their op-
posites, we could understand, but
when they deliberately stand out
against their own interests and "cut
off their noses to spite their faces"
its beats us. There is something more
than pure, genuine popular sentiment
back of it all, and we question what
that is.
But as great a detriment to the
county as is the Bull spirit of mega
ton, there is another element to which
this editorial is directed. When we
4 find that only thirty per cent, speak
ing very conservatively, of the quail
fled votes in the east end of county
appeared at the polls to cast a vote
either one way or the other we won
der just what has become of the ia
NOUS worldwide known Twin Falls
county patriotism and enthusiasm,
that has transformed this wilderness
into veritable Garden of Eden. In
the Kimberly precinct alone. with
which we are most concerned, only
fifty per cent of the voters were rep
resented at the polls.
We certainly can find no common
dation to offer to the citizens of a
county who have not enough com
munity and county pride to stand
either for or against its measures
and hopes. And we contend that such
an element in a community is as a
milestone hanged to the neck OF the
county's pride and progress. for in
evitably the taxed without represen-
| tatiOn, whether the lack of represen-
tation is their own fault or anothers
are always the kickers and the knock
ers.
Many reasons might be attributed
to the lack of representation at the
polls. The majority of the people
were over-confident. One could hard
ly find one man in an entire com
munity talking against the bond is
| sue. Every one was in favor of gOOC
roads, and when it came time for cleo
ton, every one depended upon the
other fellow to vote. We must say
it is mighty poor judgment and wors,
business for any man to depend up
on any one else to tend to his end o
the job, especially in an election w,
are hoping that the time is at hant
when people will find out that if the.
want something they must ask for it
When we want something in the cOun
, ! tv or community, we must vote for il
That is our way of asking that it b
done We are convinced that ever
|, man and woman qualified to vote il
1 the east end of the county, with tn
exception of very few, stood solid
~ for the bond issue and for goo
roads. and they were so sure that
would go through, they just neglect
ed to play their part in the drama
AS a result they lost out.
| There may, of course have been
few, who were so distinctly mill
stoned to the county, that they neve
even took a thought about either on
phase of the question at stake O
another. But it is hard for us t
believe that such could be the cas-
and we are rather inclined to regaT
the present failure as a lesson
which all the good people of the cou1
| ty will profit in the future.

bandits who have been threatening to
attack Juarez, today have withdrawn
to near Villa Ahumada. Americans
arriving here declare a large force of
Villistas is assembled in that vicin-
ity awaiting the arrival of the main
column of bandits led by Francisco
Villa.
The advance guard of Villas main
force, which is marching from Dim
aga, is reported near Chihuahua City
Reinforcements have arrived at the
Juarez garrison and 1900 men are
now there. This is a larger force
than that commanded by Martin LO-
pei, the Villistas leader.
Reports from Preside say that only
100 Villa men now remain at Ojinaga-

Captain Manuel Acosta, commander
of the garrison was among those re-

The Carranza outpost, it was re-
ported, was grazing 500 horses when
attacked. The horses were driven off
by the bandits and the guns and am
munitions of the massacred soldiers
taken.
The manager of the Babicora ranch
owned by Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, one of
the largest ranches in Mexico, report
ed today that large numbers of cattle
are being driven from the ranch by
the bandits. Mexican government
forces also are declared to have con-
fiscated many cattle.

Government Ownership
Issue Looming Large
Pressure Brought To Bear To Take
Over And Operate Railroads For
The Nation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21-Congress
will meet a demand for virtual own
ership and operation of the American
railways when it convenes a week
from next Monday. The pressure
will come from the people of the ma
ton who are dependent on the roads
for the transportation of the neces-
saries of life as well as from the
country's great industries. Whether
definite action Will result depends on
the administration
President Wilson at the present
time has before him reports from the
various departments showing how the
roads are meeting the war time prob
lens. He will confer with the heads
OF the big railroad brOtherhoods to-
morrow. Ostensibly the reason for
the conference is to line them and
their organizations up for a media

STREET LIGHTS ARE
INSTALLED IN KIMBERLY.
Lights Are Installed On Nearly Every
Corner. and VIII Be At All Public
Places.

Kimberly has reasons for rejoicing.
This has been a great year for i'm
prOvement. and the appearances of
the village have changed wonderfully
since the first of the year. Cement
sidewalks have been installed almost
on every street; some seven build
ings have been constructed in the
business section of the town, and a
new lumber yard has been establish
ed; the streets have been graded
preparatory TO paving, which will oc-
cur in the near future; and new street
lights have been installed at all the
principal corners and public places.
Even travelling men are aware that
Kimberly is one of the moving vii
lagos of the west, and frequently COM
ment on it's progressiveness and dem
onstration by its many improvements
during the past few months.
Now the citizens are looking eager
ly forward TO the time when some
man of a vision will come into the
community and erect one or two good
rooming houses fitted up for light
housekeeping purposes in order for
the accommodation of the many PEG
pie who are constantly coming into
i Kimberly seeking homes. and many
of which are unfortunately obliged
to turn away for want of some place
| to live.

ton and arbitration plan that will
absolutely prevent any interruption
OF the railroad activities for the per
iod OF the war. Actually the entire
question of the relationship Of the
roads and their employees will be con-
sidered.
1t is understood that the president
has an open mind on the question OF
whether more drastic measures must
be taken to increase the effectiven ess
of the railroads. He realizes that the
committee of railroad executives who
have been co-ordinating the country's
system since the war commenced has
done wonderful work. Whether they
have exhausted their efforts still is a
question. Because of this the president
Is expected TO act slowly in recon-
mending any changes. There is now
growing, in this city, however, a feel
ing that it yet will be necessary for
the government to go at least as far
as Great Britain has gone in admins
tering the railroads for the benefit of
the country at large.
Organized labor leaders are expect
ed to favor complete government own
ership. w. C. Lee and other railroad
brotherhood leaders believe it is I'M
derstoOd, that government control
would allow the general wage adj
vances the majority of railroad work
erS now demand.
1t is understood here that upon the
outcome of tOmorrow's conference be-
tween the president and the big rail
road chiefs will hinge the recommen-
dations which the president Will make
to congress in his annual message
! December 4 The president has not
only taken the position that the coun-
| try will not tolerate any interference
with the operation of the railroads by
strike or otherwise but also that ex-
perienced railroad men will be held
on their jobs. He holds a big trumI
card in the selective draft as a major
