will be one of the first of fhe new
Pima cotton planters to plant crop

their official experts anu the cOun-
ty horticultural commissioner and

the growers and the valley it cannot
help in reason but be received with
great appreciation.

partments of agriculture, follows:

A CHINESE AT GOMPERS.

Always Gompers has tried to
steer a middle course, and it has
not been easy. | recall one night
when the head of the carpenters
union had defied the labor chief,
and called a strike in the ship
yards, 1t was just at the time
when the German tide was rolling
across France, and American ships
were needed to carry American
soldiers overseas. Gompers had
rushed into the breach to check
his unruly subordinates. 1t had
been a day of conferences and
meetings, of hot words and rash
threats. 1t was late at night when
the last meeting broke up, and
Sam Gompers sank into his office
chair completely exhausted. his
odd, squat figure showed utter
WEAKNESS in every line; his sparse
hair was rumpled.
The newspaper men who had
been holding their vigil in the hall
way gathered round the labor lead
er to know whether he had brought
his insurgent union president TO
order.
ITS going to come out all right, :

member, if you should indicate

THE TREATY OBSTACLE.

The recent letter sent by Wis
count Grey. special ambassador of
Great Bfitain to the United States,
made it perfectly clear just why
the reconstruction of the world is
being held up. When the peace
treaty was being debated in the
senate the one argument used by
the democratic senators, against
the Lodge reservations, was that
these reservations killed the treaty.
Now comes Nisceunt Grey with a
letter which expresses the views
of the British foreign office. He
is glad to give the United States
all the reservations it wants. He
feels that the more reservations it
makes the freer it is to do as its
Judgment dictates, the more it will
do to carry out the purposes of
the League of Nations.
So at last it is shown that there
exists but one obstacle to a league
of nations, that the senate will
sanction, and that is the Man in
the White House. When will his
friends insist that he yield to the
judgment of the senate of the ma
ton and the willing allies?
Mr.. Wilson has been possessed
with a determination to shape I'M
aided by American statesmen the
form of the league of nations. He
has had confidence in the su-
periority of his judgment over that
of the whole world. He dictated
to the peace conference. He came
home in the mood for a fight, de-
termined to put the league con-
stitution through without change
of jot or title. 1t has been the
most autocratic course ever pur-
sued by an American president.
The people demand the right to
exercise some control over the
greatest constitutional change this
nation has been asked to make in
the 100 years of its history. No
one can doubt that the democratic
senators would quickly ratify the
treaty if they dared vote as they
think.

a wholesome one. When a candi-
date puts his money into a direct,
frank, public appeal to the people,
he isn't going to put it into secret
work by wire pullers, a campaign
by newspaper publicity is or can
he made educational. 1t gives a
chance to impress direct and eff
fective arguments on the public
mind, to give actual facts which
can be read and digested at leisure.
Campaigning by newspaper adj
vertising promotes truth telling.
A political worker will go around
on the sly, appealing to peoples
their lowest motives
and meanest prcjudices. But when
he depends upon newspaper pub
Hcity, he has to show arguments
that sound reasonable to the peo-
pie. He has to ask support on the
ground of public interest, That
lifts politics to a higher level.
Some people claim that cam
p igning by newspaper publicity
costs Atoo much. and places too
much of a burden on candidates.
Anytime that the people feel this
to be true they can limit the
a candidate can spend. The
amount he spends for newspaper
space is not like those given to
political workers. The eXpendi-
lures for newspaper publicity can
always be verified.
The time has gone by when po-
litical campaigns can be won by
gum-shoe work, or by merely gain
ing the support of the heelers who
control the purchasable or the ig-
norant vote. Frank, open cam
paigns of publicity, direct appeals
to reason and common sense, are
in the political field today.

LARGER MD STRONGER

Every now and then some med
ical man arises to bewail the

race. Frequently his conclusion is
drawn from the results of a physi-
cal examination of school children.

defective in this or that particular.
None is absolutely normal.
Or he points to modern uEhy-
gienic habits of overeating and
under-exercising, He says that
trolley cars and automobiles have
done away with walking. In "the
good old days most boys had

fewer girls were engaged in office
work and other sedentary occupa-
tons.

degenerated physically if not men

there is something wrong with
such theories, and now it is seen
that they aren't true.
DR.. Dudley Sargent of Harvard
has as good claims as anyone to
rank as an authority on the sub
iect. for he has been a professor
of physical training for nearly so
years, and he says American girls
have gained an inch in height and
ten pounds in weight since 1898,
when he compiled some statistics
for scientific purposes. The aver
age gain of young men students at
American colleges in that period
has been two inches in height and
nine pounds in weight.
Regardless of the high standing
of its author and the proof he pre-
sents, it is more logical than the
others. In the last quarter of a
century there has been a greater
popular participation in athletic
sports Of all kinds than ever be-
fore, especially by girls and wom-
