A SOLUTION FOR ARIZONA'S
 FORElGN-LABOR PROBLEM
Mining World.)

Mining communities of Arizona are
 rot the only ones that are confronted with problems arising from a large
 on-English-speaking population, but at least some of these communities
 are endeavoring to solve these prob lens in a way that promises more sat isfactory results than can ever be hop-
 ed for in Arizona should the kim ay bill introduced in the state senate be- come law.
 This bill, as pointed out in these columns last week, provides for the exclusion of non English speaking
 workmen or foreign citizens from
 hazardous occupations about mines in the state. Such step would be more
 drastic than is warranted and would entail great hardship to the foreigners affected, and great embarrassment to
 mining operations.
 Arizona could better solve it's proo- lem in a way similar to that now be- ing tried by certain manufacturers in a New England city, where a large foreign population is employed in the mills. These manufacturers have made it compulsory that all employees
 must be able to understand and speak the English language. The foreigners
 have been given months in which to acquire working knowledge of the ldHSudSS- lOOhS llh0 d UlS IdSh
 but it is being gone about in a busi- ness-like way by carrying on a cam paign of free education.
 The manufacturing companies ma H. tain night schools at their plants with
 stenographers as instructors. In Id
 dition, the clergy of the city, in whose churches services are conducted in foreign languages, are assisting the
 movement as far as is possible for them to do.
 Excellent progress is reported, and greatly increased labor efficiency is al
 ready evident through better under standing of instructions. Even great
 CT benefit may yet be looked for, both
 to the employers and to the employees What works so well in this New
 England manufacturing country should
 work just as well in the Arizona min. ing towns, or in any other sections
 where foreign labor is employed There is no doubt but that Arizona
 can better afford to teach English :? . it's non-English-speaki population
 than to drive it out of the state.

TOO MANY LAWS.

In recent address Howard Elliot, president of the Northern Pacific radroad made clear that the Of the United States has increased the complications and he believes that there is not the feeling of interest and responsibility the American peo- pie when there fewer people and less wealth. He that do seek relieve ourselves this responsibility by passing laws, deluding selves that solve problems which should be by public opinion by merely making government complicated with legislation.
 In explaining this position, Mr. Elliot quotes from writings Pierre Leroy-Beaueu, the keenest foreign observers conditions in the United French economist writes:
 Moral worth, which includes the recognition of well of rights self respect respect ones lows, has contributed fully much the magnificent their country, the brilliant American people. Of the qualities that have cooperate1 to elevate them rapidly to such commanding position the most impressive is great, tireless
 Now that the obstacles Nature have been that the country is already wealthy that the individual always hope his efforts richly compensated formerly the there is danger that this precious quality be to degree lost.

RANGE CONDITIONS
Graham Guardian

Judging from reports coming from different sections of the southwestern range, conditions are very unfavOr- able. Stockmen report that the ear ly spring rains started the grass ill fine shape, but that the cold weather that the pasturage will not amount to much, and unless we have early suEi- mer rain sthe cattle industry will suf- fer. To a limited extent this condi- tion prevails in this section, but as q rule our ranges are in fine condition, with a good prospect of turning of fat cattle during the entire season.

THE WAR GOES ON.
(Graham Guardian : ]

The woman suffragists have decided to invoke the aid of the initiative in order that the people, by their votes at the next general elecion, may de clare whether they want equal sui frage for women or not. The wo- men should not be compelled to take this step; the legislature should have been willing to submit it to a vote. It is a matter of national importance
 and one that deserves more considers tion than it has ever received. Equal suffrage is not far distant and public men had just as well understand it.

STUDY OF DENTISTRY

Atlanta, Feb. ga little red note

from cover to cover, was found this
morning ON the marble floor of the

to the contrary may still be studying
dentistry here.

contains nothing but items relating to
finance, yet the jotting down records
the whole life of the owner. And
some life it is.
That the boy was a "rounder" and
was often broke, is the least of the
things to be learned from the pages.
/ Under date of January, 1912, the

$11; aJnuary 18th, borrowed from
Peacock, 81; Jan. 10th, sold overcoat,

The following Pages shows the
Outs" for January, and starts off as
follows Necessary expenses, board
$40; January Sth, sandwich, cents"
/ Then the page swaps from necessa-
ry expenses, and another is started
with what the young man rightly re-

January 4th, pistol, $3.50; cigars and
cigarettes, 50; bottle of cocktail, 81;

Plan for tuberculosis Day.

Sermons on the prevention of con
sumption will be preached in thou
sands of churches on April %, which
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis has
set aside as tuberculosis day.
Last year out of 100000 churches
in the United States, over $4,000
observed tuberculosis day, and mil
lions of churchgoers were told
about this disease from the pull
pit. This year will be the third
observation of tuberculosis day. Plans
are being made to have the gospel of
health preached more widely than
ever before. The movement will be
pushed through the 600 anti-tubercu-
losis associations allied with the ma
tional association and through the
boards of health, women's clubs and
other organizations in hundreds OF
cities and towns throughout the coun-
try. Through these various bodies
the churches will be reached and in
terested in the tuberculosis campaign.
