 MEMBERS" SLOGAN
Captain Hodgsor, as Toast master, Presides at Gather ing at Which Optimistic Confidence Holds Sway

Optimism and enthusiasm are char acteristic of the Great Southwest. but never before in the history of Bisbee has any movement for the social and moral betterment of the community been iuaueurated amid scenes Of such confident and aggressive doterminu- ton as attended last evenings ban quet of workers in the V. NJ. C. A. campaign, which has as its slogan. "S1000O for 1000 members"
 It is not within the realm of human probability that such mreseryed op- timism and zeal can know defeat and it may already be taken as assured that the terms of the Copper queen Companys $lO.OOO offer win be met, the members secured and the money pass into the treasury of the y. NJ. C.. A.
 The great campaign starts this morning and by the hands of the clock, outside the N M C. A. annex, the public may read, from day to day, the record of the progress to the 1000 mark The face of this timepieCe will be six feet in diameter. In other sec tious of the city posters and stream CTS will call attention to the great work in progress. The spirit of the movement will permeate the city.
 Trade your hammer for horn.'
 This is Secretary Richardsou's ad- monition to any knockers" of the great Y. M. C. A. campaign for SlOO0O for .O0O members" However, SO far as can be learned. amid all the enthtu- siasm and optimistic demonstrations incidental Co the inception of the ac- tual activities of the campaign, there is not one real "knocker' If such there be, he is holding himself under cover. not daring to meke known his pessimism in all the atmosphere of con fdeuce which pervades the r.. M. C.. A. and all sections where the work CTS chance to assemble.
 Last evenings big opening gather- ing was certainly a wonderful start. Postmaster Captain Hodeson proved the ideal man for the place, and his splendid spirit of aggressive, conh- dence inspiring optimism and faith in the project was radiated to every cor ner of the Association banquet hall If any individual entered the hall bear ing in his breast the shadow of a doubt concerning the success of the movement, that person must have changed his mind under the influence of the supremely confident toastmas- ter and his associate speakers.
 Captain Hodgson read the following poem. written by William II. C'Pier- pontD Morgon the popular minerwho is very zealously interested in the present Y NJ. C. A. effort;
