Good Water.

DR.. BRACKEN ofthe state board
Of health is Investigating the
best means to secure a pure
water supply for small cities. IF
the state board Of health can
make any progress toward the
settlement Of this puzzling and
important question it will have
again justified it's existence.
tits reported that DIR. Brack-
en- is favorably impressed with
the sand filter system used at
Grand Forks, North Dakota and
that he will recommend it's adop-
tion by Minnesota cities. It is
said that the Grand Forks system
cost less than fifty thousand dol.
lars and that it can be operated
for $3.50 per year. It is possible
that Grand Forks has at last
been able to make it's sand filter
system work and that it is now
sure Of supply Of pure water,
but it is equally certain that for
years while the city was estab-
fishing the system the water Of
Grand Forks was a byword for
dirtiness and it's filter was the.
butt of ridicule for every news
paper in the North Dakota and
for some in Minnesota.
Bemidji, however, has not thus
far been able to install success
full system, although the city has
gone at the matter along right
lines and with every prospect
that it will ultimately be success
ful. Meanwhile the result Of the
Investigations of the state board
Of health will be awaited with in
terest.

MIR RocKEFELLER's PHILOSOPHY

John D. Rockefeller ST, if not a wise man, is a knowing one, and when he addresses casual remarks to members of his sons bible class, as he did on Sunday, an alert press is eager to publish and expound his philosophy for it's wider constituency.
 Mir. Rockefeller has borrowed from Gladstone the practice of chewing his food thoroughly. Why" he says, eff l were in a hurry to catch a train and were hungry and wanted to eat a beef steak. I would take the beefsteak with me an take time to chew it on my jour ney." If owing to the devices of the beef trust MT. Rockefeller could only afford chuck" steak-and there are such cases-his efforts with it would be worth watching.
 MT. Rockefeller believes in cold baths but modifies them 'by taking towel immersing it in cold water containing a little salt and throwing it over my back" This is a milder use of salt than that which MT. Rockefeller makes when he rubs it into the sores of his business rivals.
 MT Rockefeller advises Philadelphia as a rest cure. This is not new. He says: Even I am impressed by New York City" New York City, when it pays it's gas bills and rides in it's street cars, reciprocates,-New York World.

Frances Fingers In the Door.

It is a curious fact that the only republic of consequence in the old world will have to bear the brunt should a revolution occur in Russia. The thrifty peasants of France have bought, during the last fifteen years, Russian bonds and securities to the amount of two billion dollars. A col lapse of the autocracy in Russia would be followed. probably. by a repudiation of Russia's public debt. And at best, if the present uprising of the working men becomes a general insurrection, the expense of restoring order will cost a prodigious sum. This fact, in con- nection with the constantly increasing debt made necessary by the war with Japan, is sufficient to cause the grav- est anxiety in France. The whole financial world would suffer a tremen- dous shock, of course, should Russia become bankrupt. but the main weight of the blow would fall upon the French people.
 Hence, we have the anomalous spec tacle of all European governments except the British-anxiously praying for the speedy restoration of order in Russia and for a victory of the autoc- racy over the people: the monarchies because they dre dthe advancement Of popular government, and France be- cause her peoples stockings are filled with Russian securities. It is paradox teal to find the most tyrannicaI monar- chy in the civilized world sustained chiefly by the enlightened republic of France.
 This curious situation has been the outgrowth of Russias shrewd playing upon French pride and sentiment. The BouIanger nightmare almost scared the republicans of France out of their senses. They began looking for part neF in international affairs. Moreover. the French people. still thirsting for r'Fevanche" against Germany and for a chance to recover AIsace and Lorraine, were ready to welcome any ally for that purpose. The statesmen of Russia saw their opportunity. Their treas ury was empty. and there was no mon- ey wherewith to carry out the vast scheme of internal improvements,

which included the Trans Siberian railroad. France was the only coun- try where money could be borrowed in immense sums. With the pretext that the Triple alliance of Germany, Austria and Italy threatened both Russia and France, and that the two countries had common interest in standing togetk- CT, Russia approached France with the proposal of an alliance. Russia had no real fear of the Triple alliance-Great Britain was her only enemy. Neither had France anything to fear from the Triple alliance. so long as she behaved herself. But the wool was nicely pull ed over the eyes of the French govern ment and the French people. Frances head was turned by the offer of an all liance from the worlds greatest em~ pire."
 The compact was entered into, and only the brighter statesmen and jour nalists of France are beginning to real ize that it was a jug-handled bargain, with Russia holding the handle of the jug. The czar and the president hav- ing exchanged visits kissed and em- braced. and each having shed the proper quantity of tears down the back of the other, the alliance was in work ing order. Thereupon Russia entered upon the job Of rifing the pockets of her ally. Any old bond or security could be sold to crowd of clamorOus French investors, if it only bore the Russian stamp Two billions of French money have been carted of to Rus sia, and France holds a train-load of Russian promises to pay. Russia is able to prosecute her war with Japan because of the strength given her by France. and what does France get in return? Why, the glory of being in parternship with the worlds greatest empire" certainly.
 But payday will come, sometime, the Russian paymaster will not be on hand, and France will make a worlds record in bowling.

But perhaps the most wholesome way in the long run is simply by repe- titiOn and effort to fix the thing in the memory directly without tricks of memory or artificial methods. by mem orizing each day one sentence or verse from the best literature the mind will soon have a fine treasury of beautiful thoughts and enriched vocabulary.
 For quotation purposes it is neces- sary to remember verbatim, and though this is the hardest task or memory it will repay the effort. Once trained, the memory will be able to recall the exact words of conversa- tions, sermons and passages in books without having made any conscious eff fort to commit them.

Whose the Credit ?

The Tucson Citizen is devoting each dav g considerable portion of its very important editorial space to the task of showing that Delegate Wilson and DeIegate-elect Smith are entitled to all the credit for defeating the joint state hood bill It occurs to us that it might he just as we'll to wait until the bill is busted. before passing around 'bou- ouAts. Should the measure happen to pass. somebody would surely be mean enough to say that, Smith and Wilson having claimed all responsibility in the nranfses. they should be charged with inc failure to defeat joint statehood.
 Rut it is pertinent to suggest now that if Smith and Wilson alone have killed the bear they. should explain why they have been frantically insisting all winter that the republicans of Arizona must make a breach on the republican side in the United States senate. Smith and Wilson have done good work, to Ina sure among the democratic sena- tors. albeit it according to MT. smith last fall it was only necessary for Arl- zona to go democratic in order to hoid the democratic. senators to the position they had already taken. As matter of fact. the statehood bill will be de- feated. if at all, by the defection of some sixteen senators on the republi- can side. And these senators are ar raved against the Arizona-New Mexico scheme. not because of the activity of Smith and Wilson, but because they have been steadily bombarded by the republicans of this territory.
 We hasten, however, to assure the esteemed Citizen that we do not ac- cuse 1t of being engaged in a foolish performances It is making good polit- ical medicine. for it knows the demo- cratic party of Arizona, and 1t knows that the average Arizona democrat will religiously swallow any kind of yarn that boosts Marcus A. Smith or J. Frank Wilson. Were the claim to be set up that Mark Smith, for instance, is responsible for the Panama canal majority of the democratic voters would take 1t as gospel truth. The Citizen is wise. accordingly, in laying the foundation for next years congress sional campaign, when the democratic slogan again will be: Mark Smith and Statehood!" or 'eWilson and State hood." The bunco industry never Ian guishes for lack of suckers.

HOW TO TRAIN MEMORY.
Power to Retain Facts Acquired by
 Attention.

Many persons complain of having a poor memory, and yet that faculty can be developed as easily as can the biceps muscle. Nor is it necessary to go to any professor of memory or to master any elaborate system in order to accomplish this result. One does not have to go to a gymnasium to strengthen the arm or back. ChOpping wood or rowing a boat will do il. Sim iIarIy. memory may be cultivated by an effort and amid ordinary pursuits.
 One man made the Sunday service of his church serve as a memory eXer- else. After the service he would en- deavor to call the numbers of all the hymns sung, the chapters and verses of the lessons, words of the anthem, the text and points of the sermon. This required paying close attention and a conscious effort to impress things upon his mind. By this and other equally simple means he developed a memory that was absolutely at his command.
 Famous speakers who have memOr- ized their speeches have adopted vari- ous simple devices to aid them. One noted orator fixed in mind the different points in his speeches by first drawing little figures of pictorial representa- tions. If part of his speech had to do with a bridge he would make a little sketch of such a structure, or if with Cuba or the Philippines he would sketch a small map of these islands.
 He could remember these little fig ures or pictures. When he rose to his feet he could see them in imagination, and select them one by one as he pro- ceeded from point to point in the ad- dress, not having any note or manu- script by him at all. That was the method best suited to him.
 Certain people possess what may be called the bump of location. If they remember a passage in book they can tell you which side of the page it is on and on what part of the page. There are students with that kind of a mem ory who prepare their recitations by taking a large sheet of paper and writ ing different parts of the lesson in diff ferent places on the paper. They then rely on their sense of location to call to mind whatever they wish to remem- Der.
 Again, there are people who have a keen. eye for color. They will make their memoranda on slips of paper of different colors. Then simply calling to mind a particular color will enable them to remember the memorandum associated with that color. Of course, all this is based on what is known as the faculty of association of ideas.
 Some people who can remember words and phrases find difficulty in re- membering figures or numbers. In such cases a curious expedient has sometimes been resorted to. A phrase will be devised, the initial letters of which suggest the figures sought to be remembered. For example, suppose some ones street number to be 1S2. The suggestive phrase might be q seek him." The letter I will be the figure 1, the letter $ Somewhat resembles an g.. and the two perpendicular strokes of the H suggest the Roman numeral II. A roundabout method this may be, but 1t has served to fasten figures in the memory of people who had previously found them troublesome.
