Welcome Maxwell, An Old Friend

Next Monday night Ell Paso will entertain at dinner
under the auspices Of the chamber Of commerce, dis
tnguished friend, George H. Maxwell There ought to
be record crowd, and the crowd ought to practice
cheer that viii carry far. George H. Maxwell Is one
of our folks and he viii be coming back home when
he lights here
Arizona knows Maxwell better than FL Paso
knows him But she cannot know him any more ia
vorably or appreciatively than FL Paso knows him
Memory is tickle thing and hint has to be thrown
out sometimes to get people to turn back the leaves
to the night page 1t IS too much to say-because no
body can be sure-that Arizona would have had no
Roosevelt dam and the Rio Grande would have had
100000 irrigation project Maxwell hadn't happened
along when did But IS not too much to say that
Maxwell had a great deal to do with bringing beth
projects into being.
So far as Ell Paso Is concerned, MaXwes chief con
trbution was this particular: In 1902 the national
reclamation act was passed. In 1908 the National
Irrigation congress me- at Ogden, Utah. FL PasO
wanted the 1904 congress; but FL Paso had money
to send big delegation so far from home. The plan
to send large delegation had all but been abandoned
when Maxwell, who in Chicago, asked to obtain
from the Santa Fe and Denver Rio Gran6e railroads
transportation to Ogden for the delegation. He
known great advocate Of western development, and
he had friends among the railroad people.

that plan beats reading about what other fellow
has done to make life harder, primitive and more
delightful by sloughing off starched clothes and
civilization.
But the average American doesn't care to soil his
fingers put heelless shoes walk on dirt; he
contents himself and takes his sport between the pink
sheet and the bleachers, and he would rather read
about boxing match and get his heart all thumped
up with mental excitement than take any chance Of
getting a swelled red from missing his guard in
a friendly bout hard floor; he would rather root
for the home team than chase horned oads around
bases for himself and it's more comfortable in the

The typical American way leads to nervous exercise

limited to the mere breathing of cgaret smoke-laden

OPPOSE WE TOOK OUR LOVE AND RELIGION

The Herald Is making deliberate effort through
its sport department to encourage actual personal
participation in games and sports Of all sorts. The
campaign It is true ought not to limit itself to boys
and meu-girls and women need the outdoor exercise
and recreation as much the boys and men do. But
this development will perhaps in time through
the general promotion Of school sports and playground
activities.
There is a great work here before the public play
ground director. Much of his work viii doubt be
with school pupils, but that ought to be only small
part of his activities Too much stress cannot be laid
on the Importance of each individual taking part him
self or herself legitimate outdoor games sports, and
healthfu exercise Those who cannot learn anything
else OF do not to play games may at least be
taught how to walk, and encouraged to 90 climbs
and hikes, and to ride horseback
Much might be said about the value Of organized
and supervised play, The Importance Of team work. the
training orderly and intelligent group activity, that
comes through the application Of modern methods to
the public playground plan. But after all, the first
and greatest thing is to induce people Of all ages and
both to get actual personal physical benefit
out of their sport" inclinatous and not limit them
selves to sitting in automobiles reading about what
other people doing to keep themselves sound,
NAL clear headed, and gift" This viii be of the
principal objects of The Heralds sport recreation and
outdoor life page and the active cooperation Of the out
door loving public is invited in helping to make The
Herads recreation department most serceabe to pro-
mote real sport in every line
