GLOBE AS HOST

In fairness to Globe and to the men who SC ably prepared the program for the entertain ment of the postmaster general and the terri tora delegate during their stay in the city, It IS fitting to say that no guests in any municipality could have had warmer welcome or one more sincere in its cordiality than that which was ac corded Mr. Hitchcock and Mir. Cameron.
 And it is due to the two men who enjoyed Globes hospitality on that occasion to asser that no visitors could have received that whicf was rendered them in a more pleasing and manly spirit than did those two workers in the public service who left yesterday morning for the ter ritolial capital.
 To be sure there was nothing i'll the least elab crate about any part of the entertainment pro vided. Simplicity was the predominant quality of the hospitality that Globe afforded. Even tht banquet at the Dominion hotel was characterized by a total absence of anything approaching arti ficiality or show. This was all as it should be The spirit that pervaded every part of the wis itors' reception at the hands of the people oI Globe was truly western And it can not be oth erwise than true that Postmaster General Hitch cock and Delegate Ralph Cameron, trained a. they have been by the necessities of public life readily perceived and were grateful for the sin
 
 have made Globe district what it is paid to then in perfectly Arizonan straightforward way.
 In the speeches made by men of high standing locally on the resources of Globe district and o Arizona, both guests must have caught and hay, been impressed with the note of intense sincerity and earnestness that was the tenor of every ad dress In rapid succession, the postmaster gen eral had laid before him convincing array o facts-Arizona facts. And anyone closely ob serving the distinguished visitor and studying the mans real feeling that flashed forth oc casionally behind the cloak of dignity and re serve that he has come habituay to wear, mus have discerned that he was duly impressed witl the fact that the men who were speaking before him were whole hearted and determined in be half of their cause, the spreading of accurate knowledge about the long misunderstood terri tory of Arizona.
 It might be argued by the thoughtless ob server at the banquet the other evening that the brief after-dinner speeches made by the mer chosen to take active part in the program savoured strongly of bravado and gasconnade that they were too avowedly laudatory of Globe and Arizona to be wholly appropriate. But the redeeming feature of these speeches was that they were frankly calculated to boost every part of Arizona her industries, her people, her pub lie facilities and civic conditions And beyond any possibility of doubt, Postmaster General Hitchcock perceived this fact and accepted all that was said as sincere effort on the part of the speakers to convey to him, in some degree the eagerness for progress that every loyal Ari zonan feels for the section in which he lives Judge F. $. Nave, as master of ceremonies ex. pressed the sentiment prevailing at the banquet when he said:
 We are young and progressive body of men in young and resourceful territory And we must frankly admit that this gathering here tonight is largely for the purpose of boosting ourselves"
 That kind of talk is frankness with capital F and frankness of most commendable kind Is it possible that the postmaster general failed to grasp in it's entirety the meaning behind it Most certainly not. He came he saw and the chances are that he went away with little more loyalty and feeling of kindliness for Arizona than he had before it all occurred Otherwise we have made wrong estimate of Frank Hitch. cock But in this case, there is no otherwise We are not mistaken.
 It was splendid series of speeches that the diners enjoyed Monday evening Every man seemed on his mettle to do his best for Arizona and Globe. And he certainly did it. There were
