(From Saturdays Daily)

(From Saturdays Daily)
 "One for all-no knocking-no politics-and no subscriptions" was the motto outlined by Judge F. O. Smith for the luncheon club which was organized yesterday as an affin- ity of the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce.
 Judge Smith was greeted with ap' plause when he stated that there would be no subscriptions, as he was with laughter when he proposed that the members of the new club become intoxicated with enthusiasm" The jurist who is chairman of the organi- zation made it plain that these lunch cons, which are to be held twice q month, are for the sole purpose of getting all business men and their associates together with the war club put away in the safe, and he suggest ed that every one interested in this movement sign the list as a member of the club. The list will be on file at the office of the chamber.
 The club now mas a membership of 50, this number being in attendance at the luncheon at the Yavapai Club yesterday at noon. The committee in charge. composed of Chairman Smith and vice-chairmen Fredericks, Hazeltine, Drake and Hope, ask that anyone knowing of any prominent visitors in Prescott during the hold ing of one of these luncheons notify the committee so that proper arrange ments can be made for their partici- patton.
 All members intending to bring friends or guests at future luncheons are asked to communicate with the chamber, thus giving ample time for proper arrangements to be made. This is one of the best opportunities offer ed residents of Prescott to get to- gether in friendly and social way and discuss topics of interest at least twice per month and it is hoped that every one, whether they are mem bers Of the chamber or not will join the club.
 The program was short for the first meeting. President C. E. Yount of the chamber in addressing the gen tlemen stated that he was very proud of the fact that large number had attended, proving that the entertain ment committee was right in follow ing the suggestion of Judge Smith, "the father of the movement"
 George C. Worcester speaking of the island possessions of the United States in the Far East told of the de- plorable condition in wnich the gov ernme1t found the Philippines when they were taken over from Spain number of years ago. He told of how Western civilization has changed the islands by constructing schools and roads and teaching the natives. Min ing, grazing and agricultural possi- bilities in the Philippines, he said, are wonderful.
 Worcester stated that the Ameri- cans have tried so hard to avoid in timidating the Filipinos that they have sometimes gone too far in the other direction. They do not have the fear for the Americans that they have for other foreigners and one Is occasionally humiliated when they show more deference to some dirty. swearing adventurer than to an Am erican gentleman.
 One day Worcester entered one of the newly established public scnools in a remote district. The native teacher was proud to show off his charges He had written some En glish on the blackboard for them tc copy: Those Americans him read muchly of books and right letters Menny talk good, and speak long time. Telephones are useful and cleo trical lites."
 While Worcester was wondering how much English the pupils were likely to learn from such teacher, a familiar missile went whizzing past his ear. It was made Of paper with just the proper mixture of moisture and fixed itself upon the wall behind him with sicke1ing "spat.' A sup pressed snicker went around the room in which the teacher joined. Wor- cester laughed as a recollection came to him. of certain spot on the wall in a. little red school house in the New England hills and he decided that the problems of education had much in common even at the opposite corners of the world.
 Besides speaking for a few minutes at the club Worcester gave short talk in the afternoon before the High school and grammar grades, and last night he delivered a more extended address at the Elks' theatre under the auspices of the Prescott public schools.
