REDEEMlNe THE RIVERS.

The most unfortunate thing about the emphasis now
placed and perhaps placed rightly, national defense
is the setback gives internal Improvements. ono
Of the things sure suffer much from the diversion o.
great sums for armament the control and development
Of our rivers
Secretary Lane whose department has been thrown
into undeseryed obscury late by focusing OF public
attention the and navy departments, makes an
eloquent appeal the rivers in his annual report
mo one he says, "can survey the physical condition
OF the United States without being impressed and al
most overwhelmed by magnitude OF the work that mus
be done in keeping the rivers within bounds and put
ting them to use It is the largest task that the govern
ment must undertake later, and the sooner il
my judgment the better. The people OF this country
regard themselves owning this land, really
possessing IT, until they have brought these waters under
subsection. and in doing so they will literally create
new land by the millions acres land that will supper

upon it today

new process Of taking xray photographs has been
discovered by a scientist named Dr. Manuel Perez ANA
lor of Mexico City IT looks easy enough for almost any
one.
Dr. Amador has simply found that white sulphur
is radioactive and makes substitute for radium or 1
ray lamps in taking shadow pictures In the presence OF
group Of scientists he obtained photograph Of
a lizard as follows:
He put out an ordinary Photographic plate in holder
laid the holder down put the lizard on top OF it,
Then a short distance above he suspended an ordinary
tin shade Of an electric lamp the inner surface Of the
shade being covered with coating Of white sulphur crys
tails The Ays from the sulphur penetrated the lizard
body also the black plate holder and left perfect
image of the skeleton the plate, which developed
in the usual way
This fact may explain discovery made nearly twenty
years ago by a boy in Youngstown Ohio, which seems
to have escaped the notice of scientists He used to en-
erain his friends by taking xray pictures by direct
sunlight He would put Photographic film inside an
unabridged dictionary, then put the object be pho

1pment pan sprinked with powder the nature of which
he would never diyulge. He would set the whole bust
ness in the sunlight few seconds exposure would
suffice to print image OF the key the film, through
/ three or four inches of leather and paper
In the light Of Dr. Amador's discovery it seems like

DROPPING A PUNCTUATION MARK.

The action of Milwaukee newspapers in dropping the|
liyphen in German American and printing it German
American" is step the right direction, and as such
will win the approval Of all good citizens regardless OF
their racial antecedents
But in itself such a typographical change means lit
te 1t would be unfortunate if thing so superficial
and accidental as punctuation mark mistaken for
the real issue.
It matters little whether any combination of racial
names is printed with the hyphen without it, so Ions
as the combination persists In most languages no such
punctuation mark used but when two proper names or
adjeoves are joined they together one word
It's really an the same whether the dual title is made
that way or with the hyphen, by using the two
erhs as separate words American practice tends more
and more anyhow, to omit the hyphens in word-combi
nations.
The essential thing is the dual idea represented by the
words themselves. And opinion is swinging more and
more TO the view that dual allegiance of which the
hyphen is merely casual symbol must pass altogether
from our national life.
ii cannot do so of course, until passes from our cit
liens hearts That is a slow and painful process. il
may many years before thenew idea is fully accepted
America has so long tolerated and encouraged the
hyphen that is wonder citizens Of alien birth have
found it hard to grasp the situation and shift 81
at once from their equiyocaI position Our politicians
and orators have heretofore fostered alien pride
They have appealed frankly to the "GemanAmericaI
vote" the italian American vote" the swedshAmer
lean vote" etc
The citizens who have long been flatered ane
coured as groups are now told that their groups mus
dissolve And so they must if the and perilou.
lines Of cleavage citizenship be closed NJ
and national unity reestabished.
Our hyphenated citizens, then of all classes, are moi
to condemned certain indignant surprise that tho
thing that they formerly found mark OF honor is nov
suddenly become anathema But they should recognize
nevertheless the issue is clearly drawn, that fo
the sake of a higher Americansm the hyphen must be
thrown into the national smelling pot and must disap
pear only the written symbols OF nationality
but from the OF all citizens And our newe
Americans are recognizing it, and acQuescng more ant
more willingly as they come understand that the fat
of the nation therefore the fate OF thei
own children.
Even the citizen of strongest alien ties prejudice
doesn't like TO think of his grandson being Dor
into a hyphenated fatherland.

Arizona BankeTsASSociation AS
sertS That Returns From Ag-
riCulturaI Products are Posi-
BILE of Enormous Increase.


PHOENIX, Dec 23.-The Arizona
Bankers association, through its pres
ident, M b. Hazeltine, Of Prescott has
appointed a committee on agriculture
in accordance with the resolution a.
dopted at the last session Of this or
ganization, as follows: THAT this
committee is to cooperate with the
agricultural extension service of the
University of Arizona in the further
ance Of improved methods of agricul-
ture and the betterment of rural life
in our state and that the said com
mittee, with the approval Of the exc
cutive council, be empowered to make
such expenditures for prizes from the
general fund as may be deemed advi-
sable"
This committee is made up as fol-
lows: N. d. Sanders, chairman. Phoe-
nix; d. J. Thomas, Holbrook; ]. J..
Gillen, Phoenix; Tenny Williams. Tue
son and l.. c. Snow, Thatcher.
This action on the part Of the Bank.
ers association has been taken as a
result of the address entitled The
Arizona Bankers and Agricultural De-
yelopment' delivered before the asso-
citation Of the annual meeting in New.
ember by Prof Stanley f. Morse. SUI
perintendent of the University of Ari-
iona AGRICULTURAL extension service,
and state leader of county farm advis-
Tor work, United States department Of
agriculture.
In the address Prof Morse pointed
out that only one-tenth of the arabic
land Of the state of Arizona was de-
veloped and that in the development
of the other nine-tenths scientific. bus
iness-like methods should be used in
order that adequate profits may be Sc
cured and no time lost Il was point
ed out that in most states the agricul-
tural lands have been exploited in
stead OF developed and the actual prof
liable development has thereby been
greatly hindered Prof. Morse stated
that the agricultural products of Rri.
zona might easily be increased to
Sl0O,000,9O0 per year and that this fact
vitality affected every banker in the
ista.e. He suggested that the bankers
select a committee TO study with the
agricultural extension service the ma
/ tiers of agricultural development and
rural credits with the idea OF assist
ing new settlers and farmers Of the
state TO make a success of farming
Il is proposed by Prof Morse even
tuaily to call a conference of repre-
sentatives from the railroads, press
and business men to meet together
with the Arizona Bankers agriculy
committee and the agricultural exten
sion service to formulate definite plans
ior developing the agricultural resour,
es Of the state.

WAKING UNDER LADDERS.

In attack the silly superstitions that prevail
In this hardheaded day, the statement was made
that it would be worth paying dollar an hour
for walking back and forth under ladder just TO prove
that the superstition was silly and groundless. OF all
The supersttons that might have been singled out for
contempt this seems the least offensive.
Not to walk under a ladder is mere matter Of com
nonsense particularly if there is some one on the lad
der OF the simple act Of walking under ladder
is going bring death aPd disaster in its wake But
there's every particular danger of bucket OF paint up
setting Che head of the person lacking in judgment
place himself under it, Bricks shingles and tools
have been known TO fall from wornen's hands and Int
the innocent pedestrian And there is the more serious
danger that the passer by may bump and upset its oc
cupant
No. it's better TO keep safe distance from ladders
whether through ignorant superstition or plain common
sense The dollar hour might better be earned by de
flying the thirteen-ata-table superstition

DESERT MURDER DONE
BY PROSECUTORS PAL
Phoenix Officials Sure That MyS-
terry of Crime viii Soon Be
Solved.

PHOENIX, Dec 23.-The mystery
surrounding the identity Of the man
found dead on the desert six miles
southwest Of Hot Springs Junction
will soon be solved, according to the
sheriff's Office
Immediately after the finding OF the
body Sheriff Adams went to the
scene, accompanied by County Attor-
ney Clyde M. Candy, Stenographar
Alice and Deputy Sherins Sears aad
Brawner
The body was that of a man appar
entity between thirty-fve and forty
years of age, with sandy hair and
mustache, and blue eyes.
Two bullet wounds were found on
the body, one through the mouth and
the other through the left hrest The
bullet which entered the mouth passed
through the lower lip, broFe or
tooth and passed into the posterior
portion of the lower skull. The wound
in the breast was close TO the heart.
A pack outfit was found near the
body and the tracks of the 5urros
known 10 have been taken along by
the prospectors were found all O, err
the immediate vicinity. One OF the
officers remained to track the burros
and bring them in.
A gold watch and 1885 in money
were found on the body.
The theory advanced by the officers
is that the man was accompanied
from Phoenix by partner and that
he was shot in a quarrel The identi'
dcation of the body is almost certain
and it is expected that further devel-
opment will be made. Witnesses
have been found who can prove that
! the dead man was accompanied by a
, partner when he left Phoenix, and the
officers have a good description Of this
man, who is supposed to have done
, the killing. The body is at the Whit
ney undertaking establishment
