Owing to mining operations, the pop ulation increased considerably from 1855 to 1860 and Tucson and Tubao prospered somewhat. At the latter town the first newspaper in Arizona was published from 1858 to 1869, the weekly 'Arizonian."
 Congress added Southern Arizona or the NGadsden Purchase" to New Mexi- co, in which country the territory north of the Gila was included. The Territory of New Mexico Oh January Is 1855, attached the ''Gadsden Purchase to Dona Anna County, but it was felt that Arizona should be distinct terri tory, and many efforts were made tC obtain from Congress a territorial gov- ernment. In 1860 a constitutional con- vention was held by the people ot Arizona, and officers for the proposed territory were elected and laws were adopted.

 That the restrictive law has done much for the welfare of the country during the time it has been in effect cannot be questioned. If there are con ditions at the immigration stations, how ever, that are not what they should be they should get attention. The country has no idea of inf1icting harashfps upon the immigrants and such measures of relief as are needed ought to be taken, whether 1t happens to be increased ac- cornmodations or. speeding up of decis- ions

Two MINUTES oF PRAYER.

sIn the issuance of his proclamation calling f& the observance of Fridak, November Il. as holiday, Governor Lake acts in accord with President Harding and lays stress upon the desir- ability of having all public and church bells throughout the state tolled for the quarter hour preceding twelve o'clock noon and that two minutes thereafter there should be two minutes of silent prayer by all devout and patriotic citi- zens for these noble lives and of sup plication for His Divine mercy and for the spread of the brotherhood of God among all nations"
 This appeal is one which should be respected by all. The halting of all ac- tivity for a period of two minutes that that period may be devoted to silent thanks to God cannot fail to create a deep impression. It is arranged at a | time when the wheels of industry will be stilled for the noon hour. when it will be easy to halt the wheels of transporta- | ton for that brief period and when those engaged in their respective tasks can halt in their steps as a tribute to tt at army of young men who gave their | 1 This is one of the features of Armis- tice day that should receive general par tieipation.

TRAINING THE DISABLED.

In connection with the criticisms that have been made regarding the lack of fhs cesired success in connection with lhe rehabilitation of the disabled sol d!ers and the failure to turn out a larger number, in the time the training has been underway who are fit to take care of themselves. 1t is to 'be realized that there is need not only of providing proper training for the men but of giv- ing so far as possible the kind of train ing for the men but of giving So far as possible the kind of training that will come as near as possible to making use of the mans inclinations.
 In connection with such training the endeayor is to teach him to do something useful. something in many if not most csses entirely different from what he hsd been engaged In before the war. something that win occupy his time and attention ana prevent him from remain ng a dependent during the remainder of his days. It is no small job to make thst decision but the importance of it GannCt be overlooked when it is realized what dependence is being placed upon t.
 It can be appreciated that many 8 disabled soldier Is entirely united tt do what 1t might be the easiest thing tc teach him. He may lack the prelimi, nary education or his inclinations may bs go completely in another direction that it Is but waste of time to try to make too radical change. Some thing as nerF as possible to what h, had been doing or what he Is fitted t, do will prove of far greater and last ing benefit in his case,
 That the men are willing to try mos anything to overc6me dependency is t. be expected. ID others, however l must be apparent how great a waste o time, effort and money is being made f. such attempts when by directing thos sszne ones in other channels the desire reE1lss would he obtained. Where sue condition exists reforms should be in stttrted without delay and greater at :tention given to placing men in line fo training where they can make the bes Pregrsss for their own good instead C ieoerding their time on something whic !fhey can mako little or no use of in tn years to come.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Peace and Safety

MT Editor: This is not a new order. Men talk of peace, and our own honored secretary of state only year ago, In full fillnent of prophecy, as he seemed fondly to believe, caused Q, number of swords to be beaten into miniature plowshares. But the Lord. by the mouth of the prophet, says: Proclaim ye this among the na- tions: prepare ware, stir up the mighty men, let all the men of ware draw near :; let them come up; beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say. I am strong. Joel 3:9, 10, A R. V.
 1 And this prophecy of Joel clearly has l it's application in the last days. at which every time, according to both prophet and apostle, many will be saying. Peace, | peace; when there is no peace" In Isa- 1 2:3 to 5 and Micah 4:2 to we are told what ''nlanJs people, and many nations would say, and what they we're saying i but the Lord says "ware;' not that he ] wants ware, but because while peace is on mems lips war is 1n their hearts. 1 Permanent peace can come only by the 1 coming and reign of the Prince of Peace And his throne must first of all be estab- lished in the heart of the individual. The apostle writes, when they shall say Peace and safety, then sudden destruction co1ned upon them, Thess. 5:3. How may we know beforehand the things that
 are coming upon the earth? Matt 2S.37 | While there is always room for question as to the merits of each particular case there can be no question as to the prin. tciple involved, nor as to the general sit uation. The Bible says there Is wrong and oppression; but instead of giving encouragement to violence and lawless ness, prophet and apostle alike counse peace. "Be patient therefore, brethren
 unto the coming of the Lord. James 5 :. to s.
