STAND BY THE PRESIDENT. Congress is now controlled # by a democratic majority in both'houses, with a democratic president chose/i in 1910, before our entry into the war. The committees in congress are controlled by men of the presi dent’s own party and, as such, com plete harmony prevails between the two branches of the government. The president is comtnandm-in-chief ill the prosecution of the war; con gress votes him money and men. The president determines economic policies essential to the devel opment of the nation’s strength in war; congress vitalizes these policies by giving them statutory force. The president controls our participation in the peace conference,being respon sible for the maintenance of our pur poses in victory; the senate advises and consents to the ratification of the peace terms, and may even rewrite and amend or summarily reject the treaty. Can there be doubt as to the* wisdom of continuing unchanged the control of congress until the issues of the war are fully determined? The advent of war found the dem ocrats in control of the presidential office and of congress. The conduct of the war has thus been directed. If the country approves, there is but one safe course and that is to avoid changes that might jeopardize our entire program. Both common sense and good business judgment dictate such a course. Congressional action is largely de termined by the committees of the two houses. These committees arc usually guided by the chairman. A republican senate would mean re publican chairmen of committees, with Boies Penrose at. the head of the finance committee, v hieh write revenue laws; and Henry Cabot Lodge at the head of the foreign re lations committee, which handles aii treaties with foreign powers A re publican house would mean republi can chairmen of committees, with such republican leaders as Fordney. Haughen, Campbell of Kansas, and Hayes of California at their heads all men who have antagonized war measures and the policies of Presi dent Wilson. Republican control of the committees of congress would tie the hands of the president in both legislation and the making of treat - i'es. Inevitable disagreements would arise between the president and con gress. The net would be obstruc tion and delay. Can the country af ford to lake chances in time of war? The committees of congress are now harmonious with the executive, and responsive to his leadership. Con gress is a part of the war machinery. The committees of congress are like wise essential units iri the nation s TO THE VOTERS OF YUMA COUNTY Having been nominated very liberally for Supervisor at the pri mary election, > find that there are still a few obstacles to surmount before going over the top on Nov. sth. Information has reached me that, there is a report current that 1 had registered as a Republican to be nominated. That wouldn’t have been necessary, as an investigation in the court house would show. Since our declaration of war upon the “Unspeakable Hun” I have been a. “Wilson Democrat” of the most strenuous type. Being past the age limit for military service 1 could see an opening on the Board of Supervisors wherfe a man could donis bit for the public good, in making our roads passable for all vehicles not equipped for navigation.

It would not be either good business or political ; policy to make general changes, par ! ticularly during progress of hostili ; ties. The war is nearly Should iwe hazard victory by sweeping changes in one branch of the govern ment? This consideration is especial ly important when we bear in mind that such changes would unquestion ably lead to vital disagreements be tween the chief executive and the law-making body. HOME RULE BILL. Legislative Home Rule known on the ballot officially as 102 (Yes) and 103 (No) is dividing interest with the proposed compensation amend ment and the land laws. So far however, no opposition has developed against the proposed redistricting measure from any source and all fac tions forecast its passage. Under the proposed amendment, the old arbitrary system of represen tation will be abolished, so far as the low r er house is concerned. The pres ent basis of representation Avas fixed in the constitutional convention and did not provide for the natural growth of the state. As a conse quence, according to people who are advocates of the measure, the state could double in size and the same number of representatives would sit in the low'er house of the legislature. However, it would not matter which county increased its population'. It could not grow-, so far as power in the law making body is concerned Another feature of the bill is that the present, representation of any county can not be lowered The amendment does not affect the sena torial candidates in any way. They will continue to be elected at large. Should the. measure pass much of the hodge-dodge system of selecting legislators will be eliminated. The districting will bring the duty of the voter close to his home. He wilt know his man before voting More responsibility will be a result. There is not a county in the state in which a favorable majority should not be cast for 102. All are equally interested and in the future may de sire greater representation than they now have. Sentence of the Court. Mr. Rotter, an Irish magistrate, it •pronouncing the sentence of the coma, i said to a notorious drunkard: “Yov will be confined in jail for the lunges, period 'he law will allow and 1 sin cerely hope you will devote some pur tion of the time to cu'-sing whisky’ “I will,”, was the answer, “and Ros ter. too.” CAFES UNDER NEWJRBERS AFFECT 30,000 PERSONS PATRON* IZING PUBLIC EATING PLACES. IN EFFEGT MONDAY, OCT, 21 LATEST PROGRAM COVERS ALL PLACES WHERE FOOD 18 COOKED AND SOLD. The new program for all'public eat ing places, effective Monday, October 21, is announced by Timothy A. Rior dan, federal food administrator for i Arizona. The new rules apply to all ylaces where cooked food is soid to be eaten on the premises and affect 30,- ; 00u regular aud occasional patrons in j this state. The new hotel regime i» j part of a national program which, will go into effect in all parts of the Unit ed States at the same time. The general plan of the food admin istration with regard to the conduct of public eating places has been re** duced to twelve “general orders.” These twelve rules furnish the spe cific measures by which the food ad ministration plans to carry out, as far a.-’ the public eating houses are con cerned, the announced plans that for the ensuing year the American food program will be a direct reduction iu the Consumption of all food, particu larly the staples, rather than a series of emergency regulations such as meat less and wheatless days aud meals and the substitution of one food for another. Co-Operation Assured. Concerning these twelve orders the food administration, in a circular to the managers of public eating places, says: “It has not been deemed ad visable or necessary at the present time actually to license the operation of public eating places, but in cases where the patriotic co-operation of such public eating places cannot be secured by other means the United States Food Administration will not hesitate to secure compliance with Its orders through its control of the dis tribution of sugar, flour and other food supplies. A failure to comply with any of tlu* following orders will be regarded as wasteful practice for bidden by Sectfbn 4 of the Food Con trol act of August 10, 1917.” These general orders prevent th* serving of any bread that does not con tain at least the 20 per cent of wheat flour substitutes, and of this Victory bread no more than two ounces may be served to a pat.ron at one meal; If no Victory bread is served foul* ounces of other breads, such as corn bread, muffins, Boston brown bread, etc., may be served Boarding Houses Exempt. Bread served at boarding camps l* excepted as is bread containing at least one-lnilf rye flour. No bread is to be served until after the first course is on the table and no bread or toast may be served as a garnitur*. Bacon is also barred as a garniture and only one meat may be served to a patron at a meal. Included in the definition of meat are beef, mutton, pork and poultry. Not more than a half ounce of butter is to be served to one person at a meal, aud jCheddar (American) cheese is limited to the same amount. “Double” cream is banned. No sugar bowls will be on the tables, a teaspoonful is the limit for a meal, and then only when as'ked for. Two pounds is the allowance to be ob\ served for each ninety meals served, including cooking. No waste food may be burned but ah must, be saved to feed animals or reduced to obtain fats. , Observance Voluntary. The food administration relies on the hearty co-operation of the vast majority of hotelkeepers and other proprietors of public eating places to observe these regulations voluntarily, : but Is prepared to use the full roroe of j Its power against the few who would i interfere with the success of the plan. A paragraph in the circular says: “We know that the majority of men in this class of business will welcome this enforcement on the ground that it protects the patriot from the slacker and gives the honest man who wants to save for the country protec tion from ihe wrongful acts of his un patriotic competitors. Attention is especially directed towards the conservation of bread and butter, cereals, meats, fats, sugar, cof fee cheese and ice, to fresh vege tables and fruits which should be served when possible, and to unneces sary suppers, teas, luncheons and banquets, which are condemned as ’’Fourth” meals. The food administra tion desires as few fried dishes as possibte Menu Card Simplified. Simplified service, with meats and ! vegetables on one plate instead of In i side dishes, and only necessary silver- I ware, and simplification of the menu and the menu card are urged as means of saving not only food, but. labor and 1 paper The general bill of fare should be abandoned because the great vari j ety of dishes listed makes wasta through spoilage Simple bills for breakfast, luncheon and dinner with United dishes, changed from day to day for variety, are recommended, al so the u-e of hors d’ oeuvres, vege table salads, fruits, sea-foods, made over dishes and animal by-products, I which save staples and utilize many available foods.

I V v To the Voters of Yuma County: The year will probably go down in history as a year of apparent political harmony; and properly so. the only public business of real , importance being the triumphant winning of the war, all candidates and candidacies have been relegated to the background. Now, however, that Yuma county, by the patriotic efforts of her men and women in all walks of life, has so magnificently gone over the top in the Fourth Liberty Loan, and her most important public duty has for the time being been discharged, it may not be amiss that their attention be now directed to another matter of really great concern to all—that of electing the officials who are to serve the county for the next term of office.' I am, therefore, placing before the public notice my own candidacy for the office of Judge of the Superior Court of Yuma county. The nomination for this office has been given me by the members of a great political party. Though this was done without my solicita tion, and even against my own wishes, it is properly the due of those voters who thus bestowed upon me this mark of their confidence and trust that I make an earnest canvass to secure the election. \ Justice and fair play, and particularly deep concern for the rights of the humble and the unfortunate, and an administration of the law with an even and tempered hand, without fear nor favor, and without distinction nor discrimination are matters that have taken with me almost the form of religious beliefs; and I believe, without prating too much of my merits, that I have the moral fiber so to administer the law. Not the least merit I think I possess is that of not changing my political clothes according to the strength of the political party in the community in which my lot is cast, for the purpose of gaming for my self in importance or in power. As the office to which I have been nominated is essentially a non political and non-partisan office, I respectfully ask the support of the electors of all political parties, assuring you that political considerations will never be allowed to sway any official act of mine should I be en trusted with the duties of so high an office as that of judge. Respectfully submitting my claims to your favorable consideration for f the office for which I aspire, I am, Yours for the winning of the war, and for the upholding in our own daily lives of the principles for which the war is being fought and won, HENRY C. KELLY, i For Judge of the Superior Court of Yuma County, Election, Novem- her 5, 1918 i I * ■ .
