THE BUILDER

America thou Builder. Thou reacher up to Ciod Thou whose tall cities grope with trusting spires Into the shining empire of the sky Stand now with thy good weapons in thy hands, There's task here for a Builder.
 Hark the wind That moans in from the sea. It hath more The song of proud ships going unafraid Nor the sweet hum of cities at their mills: The beat of souls is in it and the wings Of wasted dreams, and the great gasp of Death. See there's flame to eastward. Half world Burns to it's naked timbers. Heav'n itself Is stained and all the dynasty of stars Which we had built stone to like song, Is plotted by the angry bloodied fires They burn. Our brothers cities. All those towers Where History lay cradled and where Truth Dwelt in her golden garments like Queen And Art her handmaid brushing from her robe The Dust of routed centuries, stood forth Clear-e eyed, a -smudged palette in her hand, And God himself upon her brushs tip They burn! Those ancient splendid cities burn, What Art is left What Truth? What History? The whole's to build agan-and alone Are strong build it. Now, country, rise, And take the stone up in thy straining hands, To thee of all the nations and the tribes That eer have played the game of Destiny Is given the task to shape the world anew. Then wake for dawn is shining the stone. Fling thy tall spires to Heaven like song! Come lift the world up to the rising sun, America, thou Builder.

B|C CONCERT BY
 4 LITTLE COMPANY
Although Only Three In Number Gamble Party PIeases Large
 Hi-Y Audience

The large audience that braved the threatening clouds last night at the high school were more than delighted with the Ernest Gamble concert party.
 Although three in number they are big artistically and musically. A great artist must have technique plus feeling and personality. The Gamble com pany lived up to this and delighted it's hearers by it's breezy and artistic man ner of rendition of difficult selections from great composers.
 Ernest Gamble, bass, by his personal charm and magnetic mannerisms held his audience from the first solo, "The Land of Hope and Glory," by Eigar to the difficult Vulcan Song" by Gounod. the greatest living composer.
 The printed program was made more interesting by the words of each solo being printed with something about the author. By this the average person even though he did not have an ear for high class music could easily understand and follow the solost.
 Miss Nerna Leone Page, the violinist was encored again and again. Her quiet, modest demeanor and uncon- scious manner added to her wonderful playing. She is one of the few women artists that can really be called a great violinist. She rendered such difficult selections as Chopin's "Nocturne in E Flat" and Spanish Caprice" by Moskowski, with ease.
 Miss Aleen Kuhn, pianist accom- paniSt. added to the solos and trios d breadth. tone and virility that few pianists possess. Her technique was quick and certain. The concert party appears at Tempe Normal school this evening on their regular lecture course.

PITTSBURG BELLS CHIME OUT

Pttsburg has put it's old bell in the city hall to a new use. Whenever crime is committed within five miles of the seat of municipal gov ernment three resounding whacks are bestowed upon the bell and all policemen within hearing get into immediate connection with headquar- ters.
 Perhaps the scheme will work in Pittshurg, but in Chicago it would be one continuous chime. Possibly an extra deep bass bell would have to be installed to record any unusual rush of depredationS. At that it might be of benefit. Citizens would be con- stantly awakened to problems of city government and of law enforce ment and our public morality would have a constant measure of it's fail ings.

Even then min isters put to good deal of trouble to explain just what kind of great fish" it engulfed the recalcitrant Jonah These explanations rather took the form of conjecture.

But how Jonah could survive three days and nights in the cesses of the dolphin and then be in sort of shape to preach to the Ninevites was not explained That part of the episode was described miracle and the old teachers washed their hands of it.

 Those who dscredit the story of Jonah and the whale actual happening do not thereby reflect any degree upon the authenticity of the scriptures which there is much of grendeur, strength and beauty that be believed that their reliability upon such dssociated incident the story the adventures of Jonah and the whale.

For fourteen hours and fifteen min utes today, those lucky enough to have secured tickets emitting them to trans portation on the Copper Special on the trip to Ray, Hayden and Christmas, will have one thing after another thrust at them in the way of pleasure and education.
 It is not contemplated by the com mittee in charge, that there shall be one idle moment from the time the train pulls out until it rolls in this evening at 9:15.
 The mining camps to be visited are looking forward as eagerly to the ar rival of the special, as those who are going are looking forward to getting there. It will be the first time many of those aboard the train have ever been in that section.

WILSON FEELING
OUT SENTIMENT
ONNEW MEASURE

Washington, Jan. 26-President
Wilson summoned to the White house
today leaders of the senate and house
to learn their attitude toward a ship
ping bill, tariff commission and the
Philippines bill. He indicated to them
that in addition to the unpreparedness
program and revenue bills those three
measures would be the principal ones
backed by the administration.
AS result of the conference, de-
tails Of the shipping bill which will be
supported by the administration be-
came known for the first time. 1t pro-
vides that the government shall pur-
chase or build ships and then lease or
sell them to corporations or private
individuals. Only in case no one Of
fers to lease or buy the ships does
the bill allow the government to oper-
ate them.
The government could buy back the
ships at a reasonable price for naval
auxiliaries in time of war. A bond
issue of $50,00O,OOO for the purchase of
construction of ships would be pro-
vided by the bill, which also includes
a shipping board to control shipping
rates.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
senate finance committee, who favors
both tariff commission and the new
shipping bill, said the president was
anxious to get action on both meas
ures as soon as possible.

VILLA IS DEFYINC
CARRANzA army
IN MEXICO HILLS

Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. 26.-Francisco
Villa, now in western Chihuahua de-
flying the forces of the Carranza gov
eminent, is using the ,Iy, Remember
Orozco" to stir up hatred against
Americans and gain recruits for him
self according to foreigners who
reached the border today.
General Orozco was Villas most
formidable foe until the latter drove
him across the border into the United
States after the battle of Ojinaga, near
ly two years ago. Orozco was shot and
killed last September ON this side of
the boundary after lie had forfeited
the bond under which he was being
neutrality laws. Villa, taking advant-
age of the circumstances of Orozco's
death, is declared to be using his name
as a rallying cry for new recruits.
The reports were brought to the bor-
der by foreigners who were in Chi
huahua City during the period just
before and after Villa evacuated the
capital.
Thirty-six Americans were thrown
into prison just before Villa left the
city, a number of Chinese were shot
and the stores belonging to them and
to Japanese were looted and burned,
it was reported. Villa made a point,
they said, of not threatening English
men and Germans
The bandit chief announced that he
intended to hold the Americans until
they paid 100000, but they were re-
leased when Villa was told that re-
leasing them was the only condition
under which he would be allowed to
enter the United States, if he were
forced to flee northward.
