Wildman Has Not Forgotten Us.

That Professor Murray S. Wildman,
well known to Arizonans, and now at
the head of the department of economics
at Stanford University, retains his keen
interest in Arizona affairs, is shown by
recent letter from him to his old
friend T. C. Power, of this city. The
following extract is of particular mo-
ent Just now, as it refers to some of
the proposed legislation which our
voters must decide on November 3:
at would be hard to devise law
better adapted to make Arizona forever
known as the home of sage-brush and
coyotes than the so per cent citizenship
bill. Arizona must compete with other
states. If she should make law that
every workman must work with his
right hand tied behind him, she would
put herself in the same competitive
position as would result from this pro-
posed law.
"The anti-blacklist bill is so perfectly
framed to protect the scalawag in his
competition with honest workmen that
it is hardly conceivable that honest
workmen will vote for it's passage.

Mining Promises Well.

United States Senator Key Pittman
of Nevada tells the Tonopah Miner that
large eastern investors, who are nor
NAL traders in trails" and ''industri-
ais" are turning their thoughts to gold
and silver mining. He believes that
money will be generally easier after
the new banking reserve law has been
put into effect. The change in this re-
spect will start in November and the
reserve banks will be in full operation
by next spring.
"Just before my return" said Sena-
tor Pittman, 81 talked with a number
of business men in the East, who have
always been large investors in indus
trials and railroad securities. 1t was
the concensus of opinion Of these men
that the gold and silver mining in
dustry offers the safest investment.
Of course, such men are looking for
properties that they can operate
rather than stock interests. 1t all in
dicates, however, that we can expect
revival in the mining business when
conditions become somewhat normal.
at is also generally believed in finan-
cial circles that bedrock has been reach
Ell in the prices for4 Tonopah securities.
There is no question but that money
will be much easier as soon as the new
currency system is in operation, as it
will offer field for discount of COM
mercial paper to the extent of 2,0OO,-
900, COOS. The system will probably be
in general operation in four or five.
months. The assurance that a bank
panic is impossible will prevent the
further depression of the market.
The remarks of Senator Pittman are
a natural expression of the logic of
events. Up to the present time the
West has been mainly a producer of
raw materials. This will not always
be the case, if the people of the West
will hang together to secure those
rights which the traditions of the
nation should afford them; but we are
fully aware of our present industrial
limitations. The country lying beyond
the Mississippi river and along the
north Atlantic has founded it's civiliza-
ton quite largely upon the industries
which turn raw materials into the final
products of consumption. Aside from
a few sugar factories, one large steel
plant and the smelters, there are no
large transportation business directly
dependent upon them that are the most
adversely affected by the European
war. 1t is difficult to look into the
future and give satisfactory predic-
ton concerning the situation of the
"rails" and "industrials. This is in
Dictated by the fact that, in spite of the
loud talk about the manufacturing op-
portunities which the foreign war has
thrust upon US, American capital is
more timid than ever with respect to
such ventures.
Not so with raw materials. These
are the basis of all life. Capitalists
have no doubt about the future of any
type of enterprise engaged in the pro-
duction Of the crude stuffs from which
all other goods are fabricated. The
mines of the West, moreover, are sup
plying large quantities of the sub
stances from which basic money is
made. The likelihood of a tremendous
future demand for silver as a basis of
currency is also generally felt. Why
then should we have any doubt about
the outlook for the West and the min
ing industry within the next few
months and years?

A most novel exhibit is to be staged
at the Arizona State fair during the
week of November 9th by the Bureau
of Mines and the College of Mines of
the University of Arizona.
This exhibit is to be in the form of a
model assay Office, completely furnished
in every detail, fitting into room II x
%. This office will have the very latest
type of crushers, pulverizers, balances,
furnace and in fact everything designed
to simplify, make more accurate and
expedite assaying.
During the week all samples sent in
will be assayed free of charge for gold,
silver or copper. 1t is preferable that
samples be brought in person, aud it is
anticipated that assays will be made
directly and results given out. Samples
sent by mail or express should be ad-
dressed to the University of Arizona
Exhibit, care of State Fair Commission.
This exhibit will prove most instruc-
tive, and will give the mining men of
the State an opportunity to learn what
the Bureau of Mines and the College of
Mines may do for them. All persons,
whether interested in mining or not are
cordially invited to visit this exhibit.

The Wrong Medicine.

People often wonder why doctors
use Latin names for diseases and rem
edies when there are plenty of easy
Anglo-Saxon terms which would be
Just as good Our friends, the enemy,
intimate that the reason for this in
convenient habit is simply that doc
tors wish to keep secret the character
of the medicine prescribed.
In the first place only a well educat-
ed doctor Is capable of COUGHING his
prescriptions in Latin; many do not
even attempt it, but use a sort of
cabalistic language which the luckless
pharmacist is expected to divine by
means of deduction. But how about
prescribing for the Latin scholar who
may be more familiar with the Ian
guage than is the doctor himself? New
choice of forms than when prescribing
for the educated patient.
Latin is Coed the World Around.
Why do lawyers, chemists, botan-
lists and scientific people in general
employ so much Latin? Because
Latin holds good the world around. 1t
is an international language for use
when risk OF misunderstanding would
arise IL translated texts were relied
upon. For instance, the word cure in
America means to heal, TO rid the body
of a disease, while in Germany the
word cure means simply the treat
ment. A German PHYSICIAN may "cure"
his patient every day until the patient
dies. A German cure is therefore not
necessarily a cure in America. This
fact has led astray more than one vic
tim of medicine made in Germany"
The legal standard for the strength
and purity OF drugs is the Pharmaco-
poeia- This book, authorized by the
government and prescribed as the
standard by law. describes what the
proper standard for each medicine
shall be. The names are all in Latin.
Hence the doctor uses the legal. offic-
ial name for the medicine he orders
for the patient.
Any Fool Can Try It.
II a druggist receives a prescrip-
ton which is not written in official
Latin. and accidentally gives the pa
tient the wrong medicine, someone is
certainly culpable for the mistake, and

expectations OF common names OF

That west Texas or southwest Okla
homa contain potash deposits which,
when developed, will break the hold on
the worlds supply of that invaluable
fertilizer material by the German Kali
syndicate, is an announcement COM
ing from headquarters of the Rock
Island lines in Chicago.
This is based on discoveries that
have just been brought 10 the atten-
ton of the company's mining and ag-
ricultural departments. Significance
of these discoveries is emphasized by
the fact that imports of potash salts
in all forms during 1913 reached
total value of nearly s1l,000.O00 and
that the German mines, now closed to
the outside world by the war, have
hitherto been the only dependable
supply of a mineral salt that has
many commercial uses.
Drilling for water by the railroad
company at Adrian and Glen Rio.
Texas, near the New Mexico line, re-
suited in the discoveries, which at the
first named point included extensive
beds OF salt
When a depth of 500 feet was reach
ed in the Glen Rio well it was found
that the water contained III pounds of
alkali salts per 1000 gallons, which
is almost a saturated solution. The

mined by a chemical analysis. The
water is so strongly alkaline, however.
that IL is unfit for boiler use and it
cannot be improved by chemical treat

similar discovery at Spur, in Dickens

sELF-CONTROL AND INSTABILITY

All over the country we are having
evidences OF lack Of self-control in ehe
individual. and to an alarming extent
among children. A factory full of girls,

public school has difficulty in coping
with a strike among it's pupils because
they wish TO be transferred to a new
building in a better section OF the

vorce, labor agitations, war. may be
traced to conditions bordering upon
hysteria and based on instability Of
the social will.
The ungovernable adult was, in nine
ty per cent of the cases, the ungov-
ernable child. The ungovernable child
is the child who has no self control.

discipline that results in greater sta

been putting the cart before the horse
by trying to force our control upon the
children instead of aiming to establish
their own self-control
To say to a child, Don't cry!" BE

less We must begin, almost in baDy-
hood to teach children that control
which will give them the power to re-
strain and direct their bodies and their
emotions.
Dr. Montessori tells us to begin first
with the very necessary step OF teach
ing a little child how to control It's
body. All the necessary elements for
this education are found in the home,
that oldest agency of early education.
The man or woman who has made SELF
control a habit by willing to keep
from doing this or that, or by willing
to do this or that is the moral man or
woman. This is the basis of the
Montessori method of educating the
little child for bodily control.

, analysis of the water at Spur shows
potassium to constitute more than "a
per cent eff the total salts. Presence
of these salts also was disclosed In
analysis of the rock through which the
drill passed.
The geology of the region indicates
that the dip of the rock strata is west
ward and that, therefore, the potash
deposits leached by the water from
these deep wells will be found at a
considerable distance eastward of the
wells. In the opinion of Carl Scholz,
the Rock Island lines mining expert,
the probably locality is southwestern
Oklahoma, west of Clinton and posi-
bly, in the vicinity of Mangum.
The discoveries have been called to
the attention of E w. Parker, statis-
tician in charge for the United States
geological survey at Washington, d.
c.. by Mr.. Scholz. who makes the fol-
lowing statement in his letter:
Il am wondering how we can best
interest people in the prospecting and
development of these deposits. which
must include potash and salt in very
large quantities because the different
drill records which / have examined
indicate solid salt beds from to So

fallen this world to teach us 10 depend
