muscIes way Move Themselves.

Albert Won Halter, a Swiss surgeon
of the eighteenth century, was the first
to point out that the muscles of our
bodies have an automatic action. Be-
fore Haller's time it was believed that
the muscles could not contract or swell
up of themselves, but were drawn up
by the nerves of yolition. Halter dis
covered that this is not so, but that a
muscle, If irritated, will draw itself to-
gether automatically, even when it is
quite separated from the nerves, and
this has since been proved to be true
by great number of experiments.
So that though it is true our nerves
are the cause of our moving, because
they excite the muscles and so cause
them to contract, yet the real power OF
contraction is in the muscle itself.
The body of a man is full of wonders,
not the least of which is this automat-
ic power of contraction in all muscles.

Weiehty Marriage Certificate.

Zone thing that makes marriage in
the Society of Friends such a formid
able undertaking is the size of the
marriage certificate" said the man.
''Friends use the biggest marriage
certificates on earth. Their size is
IL by % inches That equals two of
the ordinary certificates, which are
only 81a by II inches, and sometimes
smaller. A Friends certificate is
funereal looking document. Illumi-
mated letters are forbidden and the
printing is entirely in black on parch-
ment There is a good deal of read
ing matter on Friends certificate
owing to the custom of recording
there items Of family history that
other denominations do not care to adj
vertise on a marriage certificate. The
officiating clergyman at a Friends
wedding takes extraordinary precau-
lions to preserve the certificate from
destruction. He delivers it enclosed
in a little tin tube"

Later on, this valley Of Hinnom was
polluted so that it might never again

In the New Testament, written in
Greek, this valley of the son Of Hin

marriage should be put upon the same
plane as stock breeding, and the finer

Is it any wonder that children are
born nervous and peevish when we
know that the mother in bearing them
was fretted and annoyed in thousand
ways? Is it any wonder that children
are born to heritage of passion, anger

under any condition or set of cir
cumstances. The spirit of American
fairness can be depended upon to
preserve an even balance of justice
at all times.
Our democratic constitution also
contains ample provision for the
regulation and control of corpora
tons, and corporations must be
regulated and controlled. but not
destroyed. They are absolutely es-
sential to the growth and develop
ment of our commercial and indus
trial life. In these days of large
enterprises individual capital and
efforts, cannot meet the require
ments, hence combinations of in
dividual capital and efforts, in cor
porate co-partnership, must be re-
sorted to. No great enterprise of
any character can be successfully
promoted and financed at this time,
except in rare instances. save
through corporate effort and
methods.
But the system creates possible
ties in combination pregnant with
danger to the common welfare, as
there be unscruplous captains of
industry" who may and do utilize
these possibilities to establish harm
full monopolies in every department
of industry and business; monopolies
that not only impose hardships upon
the whole people but reduce certain
classes of wage earners to a state of
Industrial slavery. 1t is the wrong
full use of this power of combination
that has created wide spread and
just complaint against corporate ag-
erosion and oppression. The rem
edy is, not destruction as that
would bring business and industrial
disaster and effectively lock the
the wheels of progress in every d.
rection but strict and wise regula-
ton and control.
ArizOna's great natural resources
are as varied in character as they
are exceptional in magnitude. and
properly utilized, are capable OF in.
definitely sustaining and enriching
a vast population. But our first
care should be to properly conserve
these resources through the enact
ment of laws that will protect them
against larceny and waste, at the
same time provide for speedy utii-
cation of them through the agency
of legitimate enterprise and individ.
ua! effort and industry. To attract
the necessary population and capital
we need only to establish a state
government that will command con-
faence through the cleanliness. wis
dom and justice of its administra-
ton"

A NEW CANDIDATE

There is a rumor, which, while
unconfirmed, is daily gaining wide
circulation, that number of min.
listers of the Territory. together
with leading prohibitionists, are at
tempting to secure the democratic
guberatorial nomination for DIR.
Hughes, of Phoenix. Of course,
DR.. Hughes platform would neces-
sarially be prohibition, which we all
know does not suit all people.
Why not select a candidate whose
platform is broad enough to suit
everybody.
We would recommend to the good
people who are urging DR.. Hughes
nomination. to read the declaration
of principles which Thomas F..
Weedin has proclaimed. We don't
believe the democrats can select a
better man than Mr.. Weedin. We
don't think he is a lunatic on re.
ligion; we don't think he would con-
denim everyone to the eternal bow
vows who takes a drink, but we do
know there is not a man living who
has broader views on religion or re-
ligious liberty than Tom Weedn;
nor a man who would go further to
build commonwealth, whose NOR
aiity and intelligence would be sec
ond to none.
Mr.. Weedin is a candidate for
governor, and strong one, and if
the ministers are really in earnest
in desiring clean, honest man for
governor, they should unite on him,
instead Of bringing out another man
whose candidacy might endanger
the chances of such man as we all
know Tom Weedin to be.

GRAHAM COUNTY FAIR

The second annual Graham County
fair promises to be the best county
fair ever held in Arizona. The
people everywhere in the county
are giving valuable assistance to the
fair commission and there is no
doubt but. that the fair this year
will be successful in every way.

horse racing. a base ball tournament,
athletic events open to boys and
girls of the county public schools,
exhibitions of farm and dairy pro-
ducts, wcmen's work, etc. There

tween two teams and prizes will be
offered for the most stylish turnouts
and best decorated floats. automo-
biles and rigs that take part in the
industrial parade, which will be
great feature of the opening day of
the fair.
The school exhibits will be the
best ever seen here and will be held
separately with the exhibition of
women's work in a building in
town.
The finance committee has met
with great success in securing sub
scriptions to the fair fund. Con-
tributions have been liberal in SAT-
ford and every town in the valley.
The holding of the fair under the
auspices of the board of supervisors
has met with the enthusiastic APP
proval of the people of Graham
county, and this feature carried out
for the county fair each year will
serve to make the Graham county
fair a permanent institution.
