THE GLORY OF THE MINING
rs 81 ENGINEER 'sFo


!, Edward Eyre Hunt, in an article
in the Worlds Work, on Hoover of
the c. r. b." says the following
about mining engineers, under the
sub-head, 'Ths Glory of the Mining
Engineers afkn
* There must be something about
the mining engineering profession
which encourages these traits.
confess do not know how to define
it, but there seems to be an unusual
esprit de corps and high level of
professional honor and sensibility
which marks mining engineers out
from the mass Of men. It cannot be
an accident that Herbert Hoover and
practically all of his more important
assistants in Belgian relief work
have come from this group It can
hardly be an accident either, that
the Rocky Mountain Club, a club of
New York mining engineers, gave up
00,000-all that they had been
saving for a new club house and
handed it over to Hoover to be spent
for Belgium; or that still another
group of mining engineers formed a
corporation called Belgian Riddles,
Ltd ~ for the purpose of aiding the
the children of Belgium For these
themselves a new type of citizen.

II you saw nan throwing sand at

thus cemented together would go
through the window when it hit.
And you would Immediately begin
to figure on your insurance.
II all the men in this country were
to start out, each ON his own respon-
sibifity, to conquer another nation,
that nation would not have much to
fear, would it? ' 1''.''
But if these same men went out to-
gether and under efficient leadership,
they would be practically resistless.
SO It is with the community.
A single individual, however ear

An entire commnnit.' Of individuals
prompted by the Same desire but act

without regard to what the others
were doing, will accomplish little
more. - --''' A, -''' go -
But actuated by the same desire,
and working collectively for the same
purpose e-ah, that is another story.
Our town is entitled to the conf

A MOST DECENT THING,

The tender by Governor Hunt to
former Governor Campbell Of the for
'mer place of Mr.. Campbell on the
state tax commission was non
partisan action which must commend
it to ali Arizonanhs. 1t will do much,
or ought to. do much, to allay partisan
feeling in the state, and with parti-
san sentiment reduced, business
would be reassured. The tender was
evidence of the high esteem in which
The Parker post., 1917-12-29

Governor Hunt holds his predecessor.
: Moreover, it was a recognition of
the will of the people, expressed in
the substantial majority by which
Mr.. Campbell, a republican had been
elected to the tax commission in a
strongly democratic year, when no
other republican candidate nearly
approached election. Mr.. Campbell
owed his election not only to his
strong personality but in large
measure to the record he had already
made as a student of taxation and
as an administrator in his own coun-
ty of taxation laws.
This tender with other incidents
of the change of administration is an
augury that the state is to be reliev-
ed for time, at least, of the curse of
partisan politics which has rested
upon it for many years to the repres-
sion of its development in full meas
ure. The purpose of Governor Hunt
in this respect was further set forth
in his brief statement, accepting the
good wishes of his predecessor and
the proffer of his personal services,
that at this time, in the face of the
great struggle in which the country
was engaged there should be har-
mony of action and oneness of pur-
pose.-Arizona Republican.
