In the Senate of the United States,
 April 4, 1917.

1 MT. Ashurst. Mir. President, the supreme hour has struck and we must stand up and be counted We cannot shirk nor evade.
 ! No man has ever striven more nobly for peace than has Woodrow Wilson
 He tried diplomacy, moral suasion, argument. He eXpostulated, he ex' hibited patience beyond that of any man I have ever known. He resorted to every ingenuity, every subtlety, ev- cry lawful device to preserve peace, but all in vain.
 The United States is great not sim ply and solely because of her vast area, but because she never seeks re- venge-she simply demands justice. Our government came into life not on ly as the fulfillment of the bright dream of liberty-loving persons, but as the fulfillment of task as we'll. Our free states are not mere abstract longings for justice and peace, for when the states were formed these distractions and longings were gal vanized into life and translated into communities seeking concrete justice and liberty.
 Civil liberty on this continent was a worthy but denied and baffled senti- ment until it became articulate in our Declaration of Independence. The declaration itself would have been nothing more than an eloquent and accurate recital of the philosophy of liberty except that it's principles were vivified and enforced by the American patriots. Liberty cannot survive if it does no more than parade around in nightgown and slippers looking for comfort, safety, luxury, and ease. When democracy is attacked it must repel force by force. Democracy will not survive if in times of danger it does nomore than preach the doctrine of philosophical nonresistance, sim per sentimental regret over a deadly wound it receives, and with lustrous, soft-expressioned eyes view with pen sive melancholy decisive action aimed for it's destruction.
 If we are to keep our nation pow erful for good in the affairs of men and continue to work out the altru- istic problems to which our country was dedicated, we must present to other nations an unweakened fiber, a courage both moral and physical, mind free from trash and slush, flexed muscles and thews that have not been debilitated or degenerated by sensu- ality, security, and luxury.
 Our governmental system is and was intended to be one which shall be

Dr. Elwood Mead, who came to the
 Salt River valley on behalf of the
 United States government to see what
 might be done to add to the effective
 ness of this district as a food produc-
 ing section, yesterday received com
 mittee of prominent business men
 who strongly laid before him the ad-
 vantage to come to the nation through
 the construction of the proposed Yer
 de impounding dam. It was not the
 province of the visitor to express any
 opinion with regard to the course he
 will take, but it is believed that he will lay the matter before the proper
 authorities at Washington. What his recommendations will be, of course, is merely a matter of conjecture. pr. Mead is one of the foremost ir- rigation experts in the world. It was he who outlined the irrigation system
 in vogue in Australia and his work in this country has made him recog-
 nized authority in such matters. He is already familiar with the Verde project and so it was not necessary for the committee to start in at the beginning in outlining what the Yer de project means in it's possibilities of retaining the desert.
 Dr. Mead talked over local matters and the Salt River valley situation in particular with Project Manager Cone, who was with him much of the day he spent here. He also visited Governor Campbell and was the guest of Will liam Conrad Mills, an old friend, at
 the Rotary Club luncheon, where he spoke of the federal farm loan bank,
 of which he is a director.
 The conference with Dr. Mead is
 the latest step in the effort now being
 made to press home upon the govern
 ment the importance of taking up the Verde project, now that food crops are
 of such necessity. The work will not cease at this point for it is possible that delegation may follow up the
 wark already done by visiting Wash ington. It is believed that with no
 equivalent expenditure could larger desert acreage be brought under cul- tivation than by the construction Of the Verde dam. It is really needed to
 make the valley irrigation system
 complete, and there is no doubt but
 that it will come at some future time. Phoenix Republican.

 to oppose with force those who forcib 1 ly attempt to subvert and destroy any | of the attributes which adorn and ele I vate humanity.
 A government designed to make life

 kind. They believe that Mars is dead instead of red. They think they per ceive the earth to be a beautiful tenn pie within which are walled peace, con- tentment. and plenty; temple domed with rosy hues; a temple within which turmoil, strife, and struggle are black balled, and from which all crime, vice, cupidity, hate, envy, rage and revenge are banished till time itself shall be no more. They see, however, vision of heaven, not of earth. Evil things con- stantly assail man on this mundane sphere. Envy, deceit, fraud, force, foaming revenge, livld fires of malace and hate, bigotry, cupidity, greed, lust for world power, and kindred evel pas sions inveterately attack the human heart and must be combated, not sur rendered to. The liberties of our citi- zens-yet, our very security in the fu- ture-will be preserved by public ser wants who have their eyes to the sea, not by those who have their ears to the ground.
 If our country is to retain, as I be. lieve she will, her historic position as the leader and noble pioneer in the vanguard of progress and human lib- erty; if she is to remain the beautiful exemplar, we must keep her, in senate, Il court, in camp, in field, and in home true to the principles upon which she was founded
 What shall it profit a nation, if, by keeping an unpunctured skin, it rots it's heart? What shall it profit nation to keep full pocket and lose it's soul? America must not only rear temples, build cities, conquer deserts, enchain the bolts ofOlympian love, hew down mountains, and harness waters that pour destructive floods, she must also head sour wounds, crush bigotry and race hatred, struggle for liberty, en- dow the youth of the land with stand ards of courageous patriotism, and con- stantly pour forth her long enduring strength for the vindication of Ameri- can rights and the preservation of hu- man justice on these shores.

 one which shall nourish the individ
 ual The individual should give strength and sustenance to the state,
 not receive strength and sustenance l from the state. It is easy and pleas ing to indulge in snug complacency and self-deception and thus evade the unwelcome thought of national defeat l or degradation, but it is neither wise, | judicious, nor statesmanlike to do so. It is wiser and safer to be on glard and preclude all possibility of dan ger than to ride our fears of danger in the secret recesses of our closets.
 We are living in day of wonders. Gigantic events are coming so rapid ly that they tread upon each others heels, and among the lessons being taught is the fact that men may be heroes, but unless they are drilled their heroism will end only in un- availing martyrdom. Our mountains are filled with copper and iron ore, but these cannot instantly be convert ed into battle craft. Preparation and vigilance only can work the necessary changes. Men do not ascend to emil hence, strength, and power by sin gle leap or by growth overnight. It is only by steady tread that a man moves up the rough and rugged path to success. Those who reach eminence and distinction are they who subject their lives to the fires of intellectual and physical endeavor. Success and efficiency, iii war and in peace, come only after many years of anxious striv- ing and long sustained effort. He who expects something for nothing has already begun to decay. There is nothing worth possessing that we get without effort. To compensate the world for what we use is the profound law of life. Liberty, security, peace, health and happiness must be paid for. We must face problems as they are presented, not as we should like to have them presented.
 So it is with a nation. It holds it's place and preserves its liberty by never becoming careless and by new CT despising nor undertaking nor run ming from an opponent. Ever since the days of the children of Noah men have sought to build them a tower which they might ascend in day of trouble and thus escape the hardships and the clash and din of this world But such cannot be; under natures harsh yet profound laws we must meet and overcome dangers and perform duties; we can not build tower lofty enough to take us above and beyond the trials and duties of this life.
 In the annals of every nation it has frequently been necessary to protect innocense and peace by vigorous ac- tion. Persons who think with any de gree of accuracy are bound to know that this is not a world of automatic righteousness and self-acting justice. Innocence alone is not sufficient to protect the innocent
 No man making a pretense toward statesmanship would for moment as- sert that it would be moral or right eous for us inertly and supinely to sit by and twiddle melting notes on a harp of peace, the while our progress, spir itual and material, our liberties--the most cherished deposits confided to human hands-the blessing of our in-
