services to his country were so many
and so magnificent that a grateful peo-
pie has enshrined him in its memory
second only, perhaps, to his immortal
fellow-patriot and statesman, George
Washington.
That jefferson is richly deserving of
more numerous memorials must be
conceded if one but recalls, for mo-
ment the variety of his services to the
nation. His services, as president OF
the United States and founder of one
of our great political parties com
mend him to our gratitude as do his
diplomatic triumphs and his activity
as one of the prime movers in the
whole revolutionary movement, but,
after all, perhaps his strongest claim
upon the admiration of the American
people in all generations, past and to
come, is as the author of that key
stone of our national existence.-the
Declaration of independence.
1t is probable that the next decade
will witness the provision of an
acknowledgment in marble and bronze
of the republics debt to Jefferson that
will in some degree make up by it's
splendor forlthe tardiness of it's crea-
ton. However, Jefferson's fame has
not waited upon such reminder. AS
has been said, there are several stat
ues of him in public places; there is
an imposing though simple monument
over his grave in the hills of Virginia,
and finally there is a memorial which
is as noble a heritage as any man
could leave to the nation to whose
service he devoted his life.

University Jefferson's Memorial.

This last-mentioned memorial is
the University of Virginia which JEFF
ferson virtually founded and the up
building Of which was the project
above all others nearest his heart In
deed, it was his desire and avowed in
tention to make this ideal seat of
learning his monument before pos
terity, and he watched it develop on a
site he chose almost under the shadow
of his beloved home at Little Noun
tain with all the solicitude which a
father might extend to favorite
child. And yet the University of Vir-
ginia, despite its noble traditions and
the magnificence of it's architectural
setting, is not one of the best known
colleges of the country and it is safe
to say that very few persons have
ever been brought to realize it's signi-
fcance as the chosen monument of
the author of the foundation stone Of
our liberty.
The forerunner of the University of
Virginia, which was, by the way, the
first real university established in the
New World, was authorized by the
state legislature of Virginia in the
year 1903 but no headway was made
with the project until March, 1914,
when Thomas Jefferson, the real head
and founder of the institution, was
elected to the board of trustees and
threw himself heart and soul into
this labor of love which appealed to
him as few enterprises had done in
his whole eventful career. Through
the wish of Jefferson, Charlottesville,
his home town" in the foothills Of the
Blue Ridge mountains, was chosen as
the site for the new university and in
1917 the cornerstone of the first build
ing, Central college, was laid, there
being present on this occasion not
only Thomas Jefferson, but also James
Madison and James Munroe. who
stand in history with Jefferson as
presidents of the United States.

@HE GREAT CORPOR-

~ -atonS, the vested inter
ests, the special inter
ests, or whatever term may be
most appropriately applied,
have been i'll control of affairs
in Arizona too long to readily
resign their position at the
trough.
Every corporation in Ari-
iona is opposed to the consti-
tuition. What better argu-
ment could the people have
i'll its favor than that?
Already the leaders who
have the matter in hand are
arranging several eleventh
hour devices in a fatuous
hope that the tide of public
sentiment which is sweeping
irresistibly towards a great
peoples victory may be turned
in some miraculous manner
and the day saved for these
self same corporations,
One of these schemes in
wolves the issuance of a "roor-
back" letter which is to. be
sent to every voter whose vote
there is any chance of secur-
ing; too short a time before
election to permit Of the state
ments contained there to be
refuted and proven false.
Such tactics as these are
the last resort of a lost cause.
Of course they will have no
effect except to the more thor
oughly dlgust the public, al
ready sickened with the efforts
of the interests to keep
their feet in the bucket from
which drip the golden drops
of patronage.
The corporations have the
money and the organization.
The people have neither the
money nor organization with
which to make the righteous
battle of the ballots on the 9th.
All they have is a just cause,
backed by an almost solid pub
lie opinion.
The only possible way the
people could lose to the cor
porations is through a failure
to vote at all. The stay at
home vote, always dangerous,
will be especially so at the i'm
pending election. 1t is time
for missionary work of a high
type. Personal work is what
counts. You favor the consti-
tuition; you want Arizona to
become a state; you want to
be relieved from the heavy
hand of corporate oppres-
sion.
Very well-then go to the
polls February 9 and vote.
Don't assume that there will
be enough votes without yours.
Every single vote added to the
majority will help the commit
tee which goes to Washington
to hurry statehood through;
every stay at home vote will
hinder that committee in its
work.
After you have yourself
voted, go out into the high
ways and byways and find the
other fellow and see that he
votes. A vote unrecorded is

purposes-that is, to look after
certain stretches of road on The

munitions of War;" to help
communities where there is lots
to be done, and no one to do it.

undone to put it in first class
condition.
