TUESDAY MORNING. MARCH 81, 1922
Whot men aOaast is not talent, 1t is
purpose; not the power to achieve,
but the a0iU to labor.-Bulwer Lytton
Our Self Restraint

Arizona Is, in at least one respect, a funny state
y never allows itself to become unduly excited about
anytnlng and IN its widest irritation gives
sentiment by words usually 1t seldom acts so pre-
cipitatey as to be filled with regret afterward
There have been fewer instances of mob action in
Arizona, we believe than in any other state in the
union Notwithstanding it has had the venest pro-
vocation believe there have been but four lynch
ings since the organization of the territory sixty
years ago and only since the admission of the
state ten ago. The three earlier ynchings were
carried out with considerable formalty, with no
secrecy as to the identity of the participants and
without much apparent public feeling against the
victims The ynchers seemed to feel that they were
somehow saving the courts unpleasant tasks and at
the same time saving the taxpayers unnecessary
costs Of prosecution and the expense of the more
ornate frills of egalized execution to say nothing
Of the cost OF the keep" Of the condemned
The self restraint of Arizona in all these respects
is commendabe, but sometimes wonder whether
selfrestrain has become too habitual to us and
whether have not allowed it to fasten itself upon
US to such extent that neglect to set motion
legal machinery when ought to in motion; or
that having set it in motion we let it stop short OF
any sort of accomplishment
We thought of all this again when some weeks
Arizona had in state repositories, which were then
and yet in the hands Of receivers about half
million dollars-to be exact $4s16232S. We remem-
bered that at the times when these repositories
known to be insolvent and the soIvency Of all of
them had been questioned, there was some little
furry about it, curiosity as to whether some
body was not culpabe in relation to the loss Of all
this money.
There several things that looked bad ard
did not listen we'll in regard to the affair and
recall the mild curiosity Of some citizens and
officials propelled the affair into the Just
what its status is not sure but generally
we think the people have ceased to about this
haIf-mion loss. What's the use of crying over split
milk, anyhow?
We do not suppose there is any other state in
the union which would allow so much comparatively
OF its wealth to drop into rat hole without
endeavor get it back and to hold somebody respon
sible for this disposition Of the missing funds.
But we treat the affair as thing done and ir-
rcparable, act of God. nobody earth to blame
for earclessness, misappropriaton fraud, instead
or trying to get our money back by sweating out

Wisdom is not always in the law and the courts.

The conduct of the young such that his
hard headed father in making his will left him $3.50
a month The will so successfully contested that

Can anyone doubt that $3.50 month would be

in these days but small for the unrestrained
spender and from what we know Of young Dodge and
what his father knew of him. it will be long until
he will regret the Intervention Of the law and the
court in his fathers provision for his future
There is, Of course, the possibility that the jolt
which Dodge has received and the other jots awaiting
him will awaken him but evidently his father who
intended him to receive only $3.50 month and who
knew him better than anybody else did, had little
hope OF his reform.

SANTIAGO, Nayarit, Mexico.
March 1S.-Today we entered upon
the Oldest road on the North Aneri-
can continent. Sixteen hundred years
ago it may have been new. No one
knows. II may have been an old,
weary, dust -encrusted thoroughfare
even then. But it is certainly 1900
years old.
Romance clusters about it. The
older roads of this world are the gol-
den wires on which the beads of ad-
venture are gathered. Wherever men
have lived and fought and hoped
roads have been built. Down the
dust -fogged road we came today.

mid-Winter tropic day, slaves have

Mexico-Juan de Zumarraga, who
could be found and publicly burned

OF Mexico But it is at least guessed
that among the early wanderers on
this road were armed Chinese. who
later became the fathers OF the war
rior tribe of Chichimecs. From the
treasure house of races in the north
the Toltecs followed and then the
Aztecs. Later, the Spaniards moved
north upon this road from the City
of Mexico on the most disastrous

wayfarers ever attempted. Today
some know it as the Road of Cortez"

ipero Serra-gentle spirit-with his
skirted friars marched along its
weary leagues on his mission OF the

At first it was but a trail, of course,

We came to the road by the jungle
trail from San Bias, which leads to
the road through the overflow lands
Of the superb Santiago River. This is,
fortunately, the dry season, so that
we were able to ride in a flivver. The
trail wound around the great trees

pollens do not follow.
Doctors find that If the attacks are
prevented for several years the re-
sistence of the patient increases and
in time he becomes immune. The
main difficulty in achieving immu-
nifty as that there are so many pos
sible causes OF the disease. Most Of
the victims respond TO several irri-
tants, and out OF some 200 wind
borne pollens of a locality it is no
easy matter to locate the two or
three that cause trouble. Yet the
measure OF success achieved encour-
ages specialists to continue with their
studies and clinics. Hay fever is
no joke. A working woman cannot
afford to be practically incapacitat-
ed for work during A month or six
weeks OF every year. So the hay

association is busy and hopeful
