THANKS, BROTHER SCOTT.

That superb magazine, Arizona, .
edited by c. S. Scott, one of the
best known newspaper men in the
state, is always right. We have ever
greatly admired the Arizona Maga-
zine, and what it stands for-the up
building of the state.
Especially are We in accord with
Editor Scott's opinion of The Post;

REMEDY FOR FLOODS.

The appalling flood catastrophe
of the Ohio river valley emphasizes
with striking and irresistible force
the urgent and imperative necessity
of the national legislation embodied
in the Newlands river regulation bill.
The prompt passage of that bill by
congress affords the almost complete
and perfect system for the working
cut of protective measures for the
future that human ingenuity could
dev Sc.
First: 1t creates a national board,
composed of the heads of the great
bureaus of the national government
whose duty it is to Immediately pre-
pare complete and comprehensive
plans for flood protection and pre-
venticn in the future, in the country
so recently devastated, and provides
that these plans shall cover and de-
fine the respective spheres of action

icipalitlcs. aid outline the work to
be done by each respectively.
Second 1t provides all the money
necessary for the making of such a
survey investigating plan and report
fully, comprehensively and com
pletely WITHOUT any of the delays or
uncertainties of congressional action.
Third. 1t appropriates in advance
the money necessary for completely
constructing whatever portion of the
work it is determined should be done
by the national government.
Fourth: 1t is made the duty of the
national board to earnestly labor to
bring about complete cooperation and
constructive action by all state, mum
icipal and local agencies, whose CO
operation is necessary for the con-
struction of complete works of relief
and protection for the future
Fifth: And last but not least-be-
CAUSE this point, in the last analysis
Is the most important of all--it fur
nishes the necessary strong and force

immediate action and cooperation all

different agencies and forces that

Peanut as Civilizer.

The peanut seems to be playing the
part of "civiliZer'' in some OF the co
lonial districts OF Africa. Traders
give a negro a pushed of the nuts for
seed on condition that he returns four
bushels from his crop, and since the
WELD in good years is twenty-fold the
black man generally has a surplus
that he can sell at the rate Of shil

Literary Works of Other Days Make
Curious Reading in the Light of

Chance phrases in the literary works

sxactness inventions of far later times.
For instance, we find in the Prolusions

1shed in the year 1917, what might be

wireless telegraphy
Strada represents two friends as
carrying on CORES spondence by
means of certain loadstone which
has such virtue in it that if it touches
two needles. when one of the needles
begins to move, the other, although at
ever so great a distance, moves at the
same time and in the same manner"
In 1874 Robert HOOke published a
work wherein he observed that, as
glasses improve vision, so ways might
be found to improve our other senses.

his hero to relate, in the voyage to

Riley llcrn, the first professional to

opinion that Hern can play as good
hockey today as when he retired. In
his prime Hern was one Of the best of
