PREVENTING CARELESS
NESS BY LAW

The fact that a few persons have
recently died from taking bichloride
of mercury tablets by mistake has
started an agitation for law to pre-
vent the sale of this poison except on
a physicians prescription.
How that would avert a danger due
solely to individual carelessness is
not apparent. Can human beings be
made careful by law? SO long as
drug-users tumble around in the dark
and take the wrong medicine, it is
not clear what difference it will
make whether the poisonous drug was
procured on a prescription or directly
What is needed is not law but com
mon sense. The publicity given to
fatal poison cases of the kind must
have impressed on all persons the
necessity of extreme care in reSTart
ing to the household medicine cabinet
at night. That is as much as any Law
can do. But why should not poison
Gus medicines be kept by themselves
under lock and key?

T,4E ENTIRE BORDER
SUFFERING

That the entire border between the
nited States and Mexico is suffering
4ously from the continued troubles
"a Mexico, is a fact that is too patent
"a the face Of it to even admit Of ar
glmaht. That there is urgent reason
NHy peace should be established IN

Il every business man and every in
dividual who has interests on either
s.de Of the border For more than
three years now these conditions have
prevailed. and if peace is ever to be
rest. red in the neighboring republic
it would seem the time has come for
supreme effort in that direction,
says the Ell Paso Times.
On the American side of the border
business interests are suffering se-
verely. Millions of dollars have been
lost to The legitimate business inter
ests of this country through the con
ditions that have prevailed in Mexico
Additional millions will be lost unless
there is some means speedily devised
for the pacification of Mexico There
are more serious conditions prevailing
on the other side Of the border. how
ever conditions that involve the very
lives of the unfortunate people who
have 50 long been depredated upon
during the continuance of the unhappy
war. The great northern states Of
Mexico which under normal conditions
are prosperous and nappys are at this
time but scenes Of desolation and de-
struction. Mines, railways and all
other industries are dormant No

sALE oF lAPANEsE ANTlouEs

Kloto, Japan, Nov. 4.-Collectorss
dealers and agents representing many
leading museums in all parts Of the
civilized world are gathering here to
attend one of the most remarkable if
not the most remarkable sale of Jap
anese antiques ever held in this coun-
try. This sale, which is to be held
with the sanction of the imperial gov
ernment has an interesting history
The great temple of Kyoto, being
heavily in debt and unable to raise
funds among the worshippers, found
it necessary to- resort to desperate
means. The teiQpls authorities ap
pealed to the impefial government and
obtained permission to sell part Of
the famous temple treasure, consist
ing of priceless paintings, ceramics
bronzes and worries, art works in va
rious metals, wood carvings, iades
tapestries and silks, many Of them OF
great antiquity and ranry. Probably
never before has there been such an
opportunity for collectors to acquire
Japanese antiques of undubitable gen
uineness. 1t is understood that the
imperial government win be represent
ed at the sale, which is to continue
through the entire month, by expert
commissioners who will see to 1t that
the most valuable and important OBJ
jects are sold to the government, SC
as to keep them in the country.

New York city has a fine school
system and decidedly up to date in
every respect. Some grabbed cavilers
have found fault with the system, it
is true. but who cares for their anti
ouated ideas. What difference does
it make if a large percentage Of the
country school they teach to the chill
the English language; if the children
graduating from the grammar schools
have only the haziest ideas of arith-
metic, history, geography and few
other useless branches; they will have
plenty of time to learn all that after
they have left school. In any measly
countrp school they teach to the chill
dren reading, writing and arithmetic;
in the great metropolis they have no
time for such trifles. Here they teach
for more important things Boys learn
to sew on buttons and 70 make dol
lies; girls are taught how to use a
saw and hammer; both, boys and
girls, are carefully instructed in po-
litical economy, political science, dane
ing and basket weaving, the doctrines
of physiology as laid down by the w.
C. T. U. and the Anti-Cigarette league,
eugenics and woman's suffrage, they
learn to make artificial flowers and
to trim hats and, last, but not least
to become thoroughly yersed in rag
time. To supply a much felt want the
children are to be given an oDpor-
tunity also to become acquainted
with classical music. This has been
decided at recent meeting of the
board Of education and the cost Of
carrying this plan into effect will be
but 10 cents year for each child. If
that will not stop the critics Of New
York's schools. nothing will.

to give public exhibition of the most

such an exhibition was opened in Mad

Press agents, from time immemorial,
have furnished to the world a great
deal of amusement, not always inten-
tionally. There are hundreds of press
agents in this city, but by no means
all are masters of their profession.
There are a few, all Of them veterans
in the publicity business, upon whom
rests the fame of their fraternity; the
rest are scarcely more than bloody
amateurs, utterly unable to distill
most than the most insipid stuff from
their commonplace and unimaginative
brains. Among the old-timers in the
| profession there is none who ranks
higher than A. Token Worm, famil-
iarly known as "Anti-toxin" Worm.
He has more originality in his little
finger than most of the small fry in
their heads and it is always refresh
ling to read one of his productions.

named Rose and Francis, do not look

Will Cost $S9,931,7O and Freight-ShaIl State Han dlc or Let Contracts = Board of Education in Session

The state board of education held one of the most strenuous sessions yesterday that has ever been> held in either the state or territory of Arizona. It was the day for the meeting on the question of the bids submitted by school book publishers to furnish the school books to the state that are to then be distributed to the schools for the free use of the students There were two main propositions up for con sideration. and at the time of adjourn ment last evening no decision had been made by the board although an exec utivc session had been held
 The two propositions were, shall the state establish a central school book depository in Phoenix under it's direct supervision managership and control. and from thence ship the books to the county superintendents 9" or. shall the state purchase through a local central depository privately run for gain 2" (Which of the two propo- sitions will Dc the most economicaI?''
 The McNcilI company of this city has obtained the agency for nearly every text book used in the state schools, and yesterday as agent for the pub fishers submitted q bid that was so much lower than what was expected that 1t immediately created surprise.
 For some time A w. Costigan. d we'll known expert accountant who has been working upon the proposition for the board for some advised that the board consult with the corporation commission and obtain a rate on car loads and for the establishment of two Repositories. one in Tucson and the other in Phoenix This he contended will be saving to the state He sug- gested the state might have these two
 Repositories under the control and mana cement of the superintendent of public instruction
 Mir Costigan reported to the board figures showing that the total number of books needed to equip the schools of the state will be 262.o49 which will cost outside of the freight $S9.9517 70 at the contract price at present listed The entire shipment will amount ap- proXimately to 1S9,25S pounds which will be shipped variously from New York Boston and Chicago according 10 the publishing house from which the books arepurchased. Mir Costigan i however advised that the books be shipped directly from the purchasers to i q certain point within each county and thus save labor of reshipping from central Repositories.
