Here's the way dollar developed shown by way
written in old letters.

- 80 -T-HF-eas
AS Prof. Cajori informs us, the
dollar mark is the lineal descend
ant of the Spanish abbreviation,
cps" for pesos" or Spanish dol
lars, and it came into being as a
result of the business dealings
constantly in progress between
Spanish-Americans and English
Americans during the days before
the revolution. The earliest
known use of it was in Tvs, but
it was seldom used until after
1900.
George Rogers Clark, one of
the great men of the early days of
the republic, received a letter
from a correspondent in New Or
leanSNin 1873 that gives the very
first authentic record Of it that is
stillin existence. But it had been
used occasionally since then.
Robert Morris used the mark in
a letter-but his mark had but
one line running through the IS"
which was the first form of the
mark.
It came about this way-the
"p" to abbreviate pesos" was
made with a long stroke carried
upward, and the small IS" made
at the top. 1t was but an easy
thing for a careless writer to
Irvine the IS" around the p
and there is your dollar markl

Here's the way the dollar mark
was written
The grandmother of the dollar
mark has been discovered!
A scientist, a professor of
mathematics, Prof. Florian Ca
jori, dean of the school Of en-
gineers of Colorado college, is
the discoverer. After working on
the problem for years he recent
ly announced his discovery in the
Popular Science Monthly.
tits we'll known that the word
dollar" itself was a corruption of
the old German word thaller or
thaler. 1t came to America with
the Spanish, and really took the
place of pieces Of eight in com
mon speech as it was easier to
say Then suddenly, just about
the time of the outbreak of the
revolutionary war the dollar
sign" appeared.
The first men who used it
doubtless knew where it came
from, but the knowledge was
qsooR forgotten, and for a century
ats origin has been a mystery.
1T is the general impression
that the 81 is simply the letter
~" combined with the letter ISL
from the initials ~, S." for
United States. As a matter of
fact, the mark came into being
before there was any such thing
as the United States. j

FIVE WOMEN HAVE
 REGISTERED TO DATE

PHOENIX-Five women, Mrs. J. l.. B. Alexander, Mrs. Jennie Patrich, Mrs. Alice S. Hine, Miss Zoe Hyatt and Miss Rachel Davidson. have registered since the new registration act became a law last, Saturday, when the governor attached his signature.
 Mrs. Alexander was the first wo- man to register. The register is now open for both men and womeA at the office of County Recorder Vernon Vaughan and will reman so till May 18th.
 All men and women who expect to vote on any referendums which might come up at any time are requested to register before the books are closed on May 15th
 To register it is not necessary for a woman to tell her age All she must do is to say she is over twenty-one years of age and must have been a resident for one year. The same ap- plies to men.
 Phoenix women will cast their first vote at the city election in May. The registration for this election will open at the office of City Recorder Frank Thomas immediately following the primary in April.

firmed and vicious criminals and the
 '-unfortunates" would have carried
 out the governors ideas with mucn
 more credit to him and less damage
 to the party, which must finally bear
 the burden.
 Instead of going to the mines to
 get socialist miner to place at the
 head of the reform schools a good man whose reputation was made through work of that kind, a man in
 terested in the welfare of the chil- dren of the state, who would have felt the responsibility as a father for his own family, might have car ried out the wishes of the governor without scandal and disgrace. Out of the many thousand fathers in Ari- zona such one certainly ought to be found. So I repeat, Governor Hunts mistakes seem to be of a kind of secondary nature.
 but one desire and that is to give Arizona an administration of which he may feel proud and the people feel grateful for. If the legislature feels called upon to point out to him some irregularities in his admins tration, democrats should be chosen who have not only the interest of the state but the party at heart. If he is a little off the track, set him let him know that the place to get saro counsel is among democrats, the kind as President are the people who not only have the best interests of the state at heart but look to the welfare of the party as well.
 The constant and consistent pound ing into the people the doctrines of finally brought the masses of the republican party to see that we are right and have been the party of the people all the years that the boss es were turning the government over to the interests. The better ele- ment of that party believe now with Bryan, but dislike to take the name of the party they have fought so long.
 You may call man a dry demo crat or a wet democrat, a progress i sive democrat or a reactionary dem- ocrat, you may call him a northern democrat or a southern democrat, but the main question remains, is he a one who votes the ! ticket on election day, one who at [ all times upholds the doctrines that | the party has fought for through ! and defat, mostly defeat.

OLD LINE DEMOCRAT GIVES ADVICE
 ID PARTY
pr. H. A. Hushes,fof State Committee From Maricopa County Gives j Some Good Advice to Leaders.

PHOENIX, March 26-Arizona Democracy, or rather the Democrats of Arizona, all well wishers for the success of the principles as advocated by the great Jefferson, must view with alarm" and regret the condition sof the party at this time.
 First we find a certain class within our ranks who seem deter mined to divide the party, calling one division progressives and the other reactionaries. Now I can un- @derstand how such a division obtains in the republican ranks because they 7put two national tickets in the field and thereby acknowledged the ne cessity of distinction The pro- edges that for fifty years they have been wrong in aiding the building up of special interests and in turning the government over to the control of the trusts and monopolies. Both wings of the party have fought the principles of democracy all these years.
 NO leader or pOiiClCd1 thought Ol any party has ever improved on the statement made by Thomas Jefferson as a basic principle of our party when he said we stand for equal rights to all and special privileges to none' Even our Bryan with his rich vocabulary and his thorough knowledge of democracy has net been able to improve on that ser- tence that has been in every demo- cratic platform for fifty years. Dem- ocracy is always tue same, it stands for the masses against the classes. It stands for a government of the people. It means the greatest good to the greatest number It has al ways advocated equality before the law and equal taxation and econ omy in the administration of the government.
 So when a party carries out these principles it is simply democratic without any prefixes. It is only be- ginning to follow the teching of the fathers. Now we have the spec , tacle before us in Arizona politics
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1913-03-28

people in seeing that the laws are enforced, the state government ad- ministered in economy and righteous ness toward all
 What we need now is not so many new laws as the enforcement of the be democrats in principle as well as in name. Then we will ultimately succeed, for men may come and men may go, but the pr:ctjples of Gemoc- racy w;il live for ever.
 Yours, sincerely.

THOUSAND Is LOSS OF LIFE
 BY FLOOD
HALF MILLION ARE HOMELESS.
While the Property Loss in Ohio and Indiana is Estimated at Sum of
 $1oo, 100000.

Chicago, March 26-Three thous- and perished in the deluge which swept the northern half of the Ohio river valley yesterday and today. Probably half a million people were made homeless by the floods in In- diana and Ohio, and property dam age in both states will be at least s1OO, ,OO0,0OO
 These figures were compiled late today from reports received here from various points in the stricken district. Further rePots may increase the number of dead and it is unlike ly that any decrease in financial loss will be expected.
 An additional horror was reported early this evening from Dayton in the fire there, which seemed wide spread, and probably uncomfortable in view of the paralysis of the water plant, probably brought a horrible end to many who sought to escape by climbing to upper floors of buildings.
 Revised Death List.
 Following are the revised list of the
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1913-03-28

of men who have fought these prin ciples all their lives jumping into the ranks of ouI party under the name of progressives.
 Where were a lot of these fellows when the very life and existence o1 our party was at stake and in dan ger of being crushed by the party oi special interests and place makers Some of the would-be leaders of democracy are seeking to divide our party by labelling themselves pro gressives.As Madame Roland was be- ing led to the guillotine she eX- claimed, ''Oh, liberty, what great crimes are committed in thy name 9 And may we not justly say: "Ok progressiveism, what lot of frauds would hide beneath thy garments, or what fool things are done in thy | name" Many of these fellows would have to be introduced to a gather ing of de'no: rats. They are strans- CTS to the 1ank and file of the dom o:rats who have made il possible to have a party n this statr.
 was pleased when I learned that Presiden: AL:son, when asked what kind of democrats he wanted pre- sented for appointment to office, said democrats who vote the demo- cratic ticket"
 The party has weathered many a storm and long after the present generation is in the grave it will still be the champion of the doctrine of equal rights to all and special privileges to none."
 Some would have us believe that to differ with the present admins tration is equivalent to being a non- progressive democrat. Since when did one man become larger than the party? Who says that party fealty is to be measured by our capacity to digest all the vagaries and fads of any one man or set of men? As to our governor, let us give him credit for his good intentions and many good deeds and I believe the good people of Arizona will overlook his mistakes when they are convinced that they are of the head and not of the heart. For who does not make mistakes?
 It seems to me that many of his mistakes have been made in his ap- pointments. For instance in the mat ter of prison reform all will agree that there is something needed in that line and the honor system is not without merit, but how could a man accomplish results in that line who says before the committee that he was only a bookkeeper, without any experience in handling crimin- als? A man of sound judgment with an experience that wouln enable him

Rumors Proved Untrue.

Rumors Proved Untrue. It was rumored in Indianapolis early today that 200 persons were drowned in WestIndianapolis but this number was later reduced to 14, though it was estimated that more than that had died
 South of Indianapolis the flood is said to have caused death in a num- Der of small towns and villages.
 Fire at Dayton added to the finan- cial loss caused by the food Early estimates, placing the damage in Ohio and Indiana at $5O,OOO,OOO were re- vised to show tonight double that amount. Railroad officials were au- thority for the statement that lines converging inIndianapolis would have to stand a loss of $25,OOO,OOO in that city and vicinity alone.
 Railroads Chief Losers.
 Railroads were chief sufferers from property damage. It was said tonight by engineers and construction bosses that strips of railroads more than away in several places through h. diana. Concrete and iron bridges, their supports undermined, crumbled before the strength of the torrent hurled against them.
