TO PROTECT AMERICAN FLAG
{ THROUGH STATE LEGISLATION

The American flag will be protected
from misuse by enactment of special
legislation in all states, if possible,
Garland w. Powell, director of the
American Legion's national American
ism commission, has announced.
Following the recent national con-
ference of SO patriotic societies and
other organizations held in Washing
ton, to promote flag observance nat
tional campaign has been started in
the states under leadership of the Le-
gion, to obtain statutes promoting flag
observance.
A law will be sought to set apart
Flag Day, on June Ia by proclamation
Of the state governor, to be observed
By display of the national emblem by
appropriate ceremonies. The flag
would be placed on the main admins
tration building of each public institu-
ton and at every polling place, if
the Legion's program carries. That
the flag with staff or flag pole will
be provided for each schoolhouse and
displayed during school hours, is an
other recommendation. Other items on
the program will be the enactment of
laws prohibiting use of the flag as a
receptacle for receiving, holding, car
rying or delivering anything, and for
advertising purposes, with heavy pen
alties for public mutilation, abuse or
Dissertation.
Prior to the adjournment of the
flag conference, it was voted to make
the conference permanent body. The
next meeting was set for Flag Day,
June Ia, 1924, at Washington.

HOW COUNTIES OF THE
STATE ARE CLASSIFIED

The valuations are fixed and deter
mined according to the tax rolls Of
each county. Referring to the report
of the State Tax Commission it aps
pears that the assessed valuations of
Apache county for the year 1922, last
years roll, is $8,776, ,318.00, and Of
Navajo county, $11 1895, ,70100, which
places these counties in the fourth
class The same reference gives,
Graham county an assessed valuation
of $12,480,418.O0, and Santa Cruz
county an assessed valuation of $12,-
ola, $4,000 which makes these coun-
ties classify as Second class" counties
for purposes mentioned. Coconino
county with assessed valuation Of
$2O,128, ,235.O0; Greenlee county with
an assessed valuation Of $24, ,911 ,059;
Mohave county with an assessed valz
uIation of $20,113,646, and Yuma
county with an assessed valuation Of
S21, ,064 1893, all belong to the second
class" counties under the classified
ton. The counties of Cochise, Gila,
Maricopa, Pima, Pinal and Yavapai,
the assessed valuation of the proper
ty in each exceeding $50,000,000, are
classified as ''first class" counties.

A story is told of a farmer who
bought a reaper with which to cut
his wheat. The reaper did the cutting
of the wheat so successfully that the
} farmer exclaimed: Il am going to
cut my corn also with that reaper.
The story goes on TO state that the
farmer drove into the cornfield with
the reaper and tried to make the reap
er cut the corn, but of course it fail
ed. The trouble was not with the
reaper, but with the farmer.
And SO it is with Christian Science,
faith healing and auto-suggestion.
They are to be defended as perfectly
proper for the things which they can
do. But the trouble is that they are
used to try to do things for which they
are not suitable.
On page III of Science and Health
Mrs. Eddy says: mind governs the
BODY OF course it does. And Chris
tian Science can do great good in
keeping the mind normal and healthy.
Christian Science teaches the mind to
be hopeful, cheerful, courageous, con-
tented, optimistic, benevolent, patient,
gentle, temperate, kind, faithful, con-
siderate, pleasant and loving.
s. Now every doctor and every student
Of the mind or the body will agree
that very much good comes to the
mind and body from such an attitude
of mind as is taught by Christian Sci
ence.
Such a mind is competent to con-
troll the body in fine shape, providing
accidents, contagious and poisons do
not interfere. But of course it 1is
not necessary to be Christian Scien-
list to have that attitude of mind.
One can have that attitude of mind
and still be Catholic, or Mormon,
or Presbyterian, or a Methodist, OF
a member of any other denomination,
or no denomination.
Now then, although such mind
governs the body" as Mrs. Eddy truly
says, yet the mind has its limitations
when it comes to curing disease.
Let US give Mrs. Eddy credit for
having the very best of intentions, but
people with the very best of inten-
lions often make some of the saddest
blunders.
z Christian Science is metaphysical
method of treatment. Mrs. Eddy
herself says so on page 185 of Sci
ence and HEALTH" where she gives an
account of a woman who always
breathed with great difficulty when
the wind was from the east" The
book explains the cure of that whirn
as follows: 81 sat silently by her side
few moments. Her breath came
gently. The inspirations were deep
and natural. | then requested her TO
look at the weather vane. She look
ed and saw that it pointed due east.
The wind had not changed, but her
thought of it had and so her difficult
ty in breathing had gone. The wind
had not produced the difficulty. Ny
METAPHYSICAL treatment changed
the action of her belief on the lungs,
The Coconino sun., 1923-07-06

AutO-SuggestiOn

and she never suffered again from
east winds"
But now on page 176 of Science and
Health, Mrs. Eddy makes the follow
ing pitifully tragic statement: Truth
handles the most malignant contagion
with perfect assurance" That awful
error of Mrs. Eddy's has cost many a
life. Christian Science cannot handle
the malignant contagion" of diph-
liberia with perfect assurance. That
pitifuI fact has burned itself into the
souls of the people of Flagstaff in
the past two months.
On page 148, Mrs. Eddy makes an
other blunder when, in speaking of the
miraculous cures accredited to Jesus,
she says: "He urged no obedience to
material laws" But he did use ma
terials. For instance, in the miracle
of feeding the five thousand as re-
corded in the 9th chapter of Luke,
the account reads: "Then he took the
five loaves and the two fishes and
looking up to heaven, he blessed
them"
Medical science in Christ's day had
not yet made any progress, and yet
Christ did use physical means to the
extent of laying on of hands and an
nointing with clay. For instance,
Luke 22:51, "And he touched his ear
and healed him." Also in John 9:2,
"He spat on the ground, and made
clay of the spittle, and he annointed
the eyes of the blind man with the
clay, and said unto him: GO, wash in
the pool of Sloan. He went his way
therefore, and washed, and came away
seeing"
And so Jesus did use material means
in spite of Mrs. Eddy's erroneous
statement to the contrary. He used
the means which medical science had
discovered up to that time. And to-
day Jesus would sanction and use ev-
cry means which medical science has
discovered, including diphetheria anti
toxin and chiropractic adjustments.
A man once came to me for chiro-
practic adjustments because he had a
very severe neuritis caused by a sub
luxated vertebra. In six adjustments
| cured the neuritis easily. Then he
made this remarkable statements "Six
years ago I was the first reader in
the Christian Science church at Whit
tier, and while there is great deal
of good in Christian Science, it will
not straighten crooked vertebra.
When a medical doctor saves
childs life by giving it diphtheria an
titoxin, he is doing Christian healing.
When chiropractor cures a case OF
neuritis by giving a chirophactic adj
justment, he is doing a Christian
healing.
In conclusion, we should be patient
with the Christian Scientists. They
are learning some sad lessons in the
bitter school of experience, and time
will right all things.
