Commercial Club Meeting.

One of the best meetings of
the commercial club held since
the reorganization assembled in
the Maccabee Hall Tuesday even
ing to hear State Engineer Lamar
Cobb discuss the question of
bridges and good roads, and
explaining the part the state
takes in aiding the work. Coun-
ty Engineer Perkins was there
also with his little talk along the
same line, and Supervisor VOL
fork of Coconino county told
something of the work in his
county. The attendance was fine
and the enthusiasm was great, a
clear demonstration that interest
in the commercial club is grow
ing. There should be member
ship of one hundred in this town
under the present arrangement
of only $1.00 per month for dues,
and if no actual good was ac-
complished other than to develope
a get-together spirit among our
citizens it would be a fine invest
ment yielding abundant returns.
The first active steps toward
opening the south road were
taken this week while County
Engineer Perkins was in the
city, when notices were posted
that the road would be establish
ed beginning at the Old Trails
Highway just west of the Santa
Fe yard limits, running thence
in a southwesterly direction to
the Coconino county line. a dis
tance of about four miles. Mr..
Perkins will begin work on the
road as soon as the board of
supervisors pass on the petition
at their next session. Messrs.
Sutton. Walton and Cresswell,
who have taken hold of the road
matter. are working in con;unc-
tion with the supervisors Of Co.
conino county, and they think by
spring they will have the road
open for travel through to Phoe-
nix. 1t is the purpose to connect
with the Phoenix road near the
Roosevelt dam.

Phoenix-Winslow.

The Phoenix union high school
Played basket ball in Winslow
last Saturday night, and both
our girls and boys teams were
defeated-the former by a score
of Is to 16, and the later by
score of Al to 29. The girls
game was lost on fouls allowed
by the referee, finally disquali-
flying Ella Dadey, but it is gen.
orally conceded that our local
team, Notwithstanding their de-
feat, out-played the visitors at
every turn, putting up a fast and
furious game. The boys game
was also very fast and fine ex-
hibition of the sport. Jewett,
of Phoenix, was the star per-
former for the visitors, but was
later put out of the game for
over-guarding. There will prob
ably be another game between
the schools at an early date, and
our youngsters are feeling sure of
a different result.

The correspondent who fur
nished the Arizona Republican
with it's account of the Winslow-
PhoniX girls basket bal! game
allowed his enthusiasm to get
away from the truth. In his ac-
count of the game he said Ella
Dadey was disqualified for rough
guarding, when in fact the young
lady was retired on five fouls be-
ing called, and the action of the
referee was open to criticism.
1t was clearly evident to the au-
dience that it was the trick play
ing of the Phoenix girl that put
the fouls on the Winslow girl,
and it was surprising the referee
could not see it when it was so
patent to every one else. Miss
Dadey is about as big as a pint
of cider, and a statement that
she was "roughing" is a joke.

George Washington.

1t was I83 years ago that George
Washington was born in a farm
house close to and looking out upon
the Potomac river below Washing
ton city. fifty miles in direct line,
but about twenty miles farther if the
windings of the Potomac river be fol-
lowed. The place is now known to
the world as Wakefield. but that
name was given to the farm by one
of the later Washington proprietors.
The estate has been divided into
many smaller holdings, though much
of it is farmed by collateral kindred
of George Washington, and a large
acreage around the site of the house
in which Washington was born, after
passing out of the hands of Wash
ington heirs, has long been back in
the possession of people of Wash
ington blood. The site of the house,
part of the ruins of which were vis-
ible up to the time of the civil war,

Popular Bathing Facilities.

The conversion OF the tidal basin
into a bathing beach appears to
meet the favor OF the Senate. and IN
the sundry civil bill passed by that
body is included an appropriation of
$4,000 for beginning this useful pub
lie work, meritorious in itself and
having the additional good feature
or attracting more people to Poto-
mac Park. The Star has repeatedly
argued in behalf OF increased bath
ing and swimming facilities. not oniy
as a general proposition, but as d
local plan for promoting health and
happiness OF the people by encour-
aging exercise and cleanliness and
widening the knowledge OF the
often most useful art OF swimming.
The fine area of water has not been
put to its full measure of utility, and
save for few boats and occasional
skating has been merely a pleasure
to spectators. Its popularity as a
spectacle will be largely increased
by its use by bathers. Senator Nor
ris of Nebraska. who has advocated
and industriously pressed the matter
to inclusion in an appropriation bill
has taken broad-gauge view of the
question, and large numbers of the
boys and youths OF Washington will
hold him in happy memory.

is marked by fine monument erect
ed by the United States about twen-
ty years ago. The farm on the Rap
pahannock, opposite Fredericksburg,
where the cherry tree and stone
throwing incidents of Georges boy
hood took place, long ago passed out
| of the possession of Washingtons
and has been divided into smaller
farms. All vestiges of the house ex-
cepting the cellar pit disappeared SO
long ago that nobody in that country
can remember having seen them. The
| Mount Vernon estate, great in ex-
tent in the days of Washington
passed out of the hands of the
Washington family, but the house
| and a small acreage surrounding it
are preserved as a national shrine
by the Ladies Mount Vernon Asso-
citation.

There was nothing dramatic in his

Washington and Lincoln.

Ten days after celebrating the birth
OF Lincoln we are celebrating the
birth OF Washington. Our two great
est men were born i'll the shortest
month. About the names and flames
OF both myths have gathered. No two
men were ever more malIgned IN the
days of their public activity. No two
have ever been more exalted and be-
praised after death. The measure OF
their hard fortune is the measure OF
their good fortune.
Washington was born at the top,
had opportunities. and improved
them. He was so successful he be-
came target for malice Because OF
a stately presence, a serious mind
and al inclination toward ceremony.
he was pictured by his enemies as
cold. crafty and ambitious. They
flouted him as leader OF democracy
and attributed to him desires for i
throne. They assaulted even his per-
sonal character. Ii the lingo OF the
curbstone OF today had been in use

After death had dispersed the foul
ristS, fair mists gathered. and. to
degree, have obScured the real man.

impossible sinner Washington has

porrunities. and triumphed signally
over adversely. Naturally. when he
reached the top. he became target
for malice His physical disadvan-
tages. his bent OF mind partly humor-
Gus. and his frank partiality for the
simple life. were laid under tribute by
his enemies. and he was pictured as
q jester and coarse buffoon. He re-
ceived the fullest measure OF detrac-
tion. Not even his broad humanities,
manifested in the White House nor
the Gettysburg address. nor the sec
ond inaugural served 10 silence his
enemies.
Death transformed him. and he has
since been painted in spirit as white
As the other was black. The language
OF eulogy has been exhausted in his
behalf. Some OF the praise would
amuse the man who knew himself as
we'll as he did others. and put no
false values on anything or anybody.
But time is doing for both men
what both would desire. They are
coming into their real own in the ap-
praisement OF their countrymen as
we'll as OF others. They are world
figures, and accepted by the world as
Americas best contributions to the
greatest purposes OF men. Byron's

the investment is considered good
one, and the municipal authorities so
far from manifesting any inclination
to recede from this line of endeavor
invariably show a disposition to
broaden and extend the work.
Few persons in this age doubt the
efficacy of bathing as a factor in
physical and moral hygiene. The
only question with some has been
the practicability of SO extending
municipal authority and action as to
include this phase OF public service.
Some people have feared that mu-
inequalities are entering too exten-
sively upon the work of conducting
public utilities, but the usual argr-
ments against such exercise OF mu-
nicipal authority do not lie against
objects tending to the betterment OF
hygienic conditions.
Municipalities have taken over the
matter of schools with the result that
the private school in way has been
overshadowed. municipalities have
taken charge in large measure OF the
health of school children, and have
made long strides toward conducting
the play and recreation of the chill
dren. The municipal swimming pool
in so lar as the children are con-
cerned affects them both in the mat
ter OF health and recreation. In ITS
effect on adults it is probably mainly
hygienic. The public bath and SWIM
ming pool are forms OF municipal ac-
tivity which are bound to grow.
