negie Hall Governor Whitman is ex-
pected to deliver an oration and De-
partment Commander William F..
Kirschner will speak for the veterans.
From time to time the honor of hav-
ing originated Memorial Day is claimed
by some bold spirit who refuses to re-
main any longer in historical oblivion.
But the veterans themselves rise up
in indignation when any such idea is
put forward.

General Logan" said one grizzled war
rior the other day. "He alone created
Memorial Day, and nothing is too
good to say about him"
"Black Jack" was fascinating and
picturesque figure, idolized by his SOL
diers. He was not merely skilled
fighter, but brilliant public speaker,
whose .eloquence and dramatic power
were we'll attested. His wife, a clever
and accomplished woman, was Of in
valuable assistance to him throughout
his career. She has told the story Of
her husbands life and work in a most
delightful volume Of biography.
In January, 1858, General Logan's
comrades of the Grand Army of the
Republic elected him commander in
chief. He was twice reelected. It was
during his first incumbency that he
issued the order which he often re-
ferred to afterward as "the proudest
act of my life" setting apart the soth

What the Brother
Wife Recalls
What manner of lad was Raoul in
those two years of casket fittings :?
No young friends? No church soci-
ables and strawberry festivals, no
girls? Nine. Lufbery laughs softly at
the thought Of Raoul and love, and
shrugs expressively.
"'E'ad no time for Lowell" she pro-
tests. She is very French and her ac-
cent is the soft, liquid b-r-r-r of the
Midi. "Always e came 'ome, tran
quil-quiet-dul like e was tired. At
taire diner e went to bed like an old
man, or very leetle boy and at break
fast it was the same. Not gay! No,

Nine. Lufbery is interrupted. There
is a faint plaintive wall from the
cradled bundle beside her. She bends
over it swiftly, murmuring, and when
she raises her head her eyes are wet
and = trifle red.
"My baby" she says, simply. "It is

Memories to Recall Him.

of anything that concerned him per.
sonally If it could be avoided. So
much then, for wife. As to sweet
hearts of his youth, Wallingford
scratches an ear and tries to remem-
Der. Truly Wallingford remembers
very little of Lufbery. That he worked
at Simpsons, yes, but there were many
boys in the works." and it cannot be
remembered that young Lufbery was at
all exceptional or distinctive. Ger
tainly he was not distinctive to such
degree as to warrant the feeling which
they now entertain, the somewhat
guilty consciousness of having over
looked the youth of greatness and not
foreseen its glory. But he was a steady
boy, that Is certain. And CAV? No.
not at all gay. If there was pirl. she
has not come forward to claim his
memory. But it was twelve years ago
that he was there. If girl existed
Wallingford cannot produce her.
The Old Men
Strain Their Memories
The old men remember him as among.
the boys at Simpsons, but they are a
little too old to halt their minds at
decade. Like overzealous fishermen,
they cast too far and the bait is swal-
lowed in fruitless anecdotes Of their
own gallant youth.
The younger men are dazzled by the
new and radiant vision Of Major Luf-
berry strung with medals. There is the
Legion of Honor, the Medaille Mill
taire, the Croix de Guerre and the
British Military Cross. Also Monte
negrin order which, Raoul wrote, was
not so hard won as the others, but of
which he was verp proud.
Wallingford has thrilled daily at his
exploits and counted breathlessly the
enemy planes that fell beneath his
skilled onslaught. 1t is not surpris-
ing therefore that the past should be
dimmed by the present and that it
should be difficult to recall the quiet,
morose lad who worked upon the
lugubrious bright work of casket ft-
tings and then vanished from view to
reappear in the guise of Americas
greatest "ace." But Wallingford is de-
termined to erect monument to him,

gruous years which compose his total

turned to this country. With them

Ina Work of Phoenix Women

Phoenix has done very well in subscribing to the third Liberty loan and in the purchase of thrift stamps but it has not done well enough. Its task will Lot be complete until the last minute of the campaign Lntil it has bought it's last bond Then the judgment IS to its performance can be entered
 The Women's Loan Committee of the City of Phoenix has arranged for another outpourng of sub stantal patriotic expression next Friday and next Saturday. There will, of course, be flags there but they will not be to take the place of subscrp- iions People are not asked to take part in the pa rade merely to prove their loyalty. By this time it is taken for granted that all loyal except the comparatively few suspected pro-Germans and anar- rhists among us
 But the loyalty of a good many loyal people needs firing and that what the coming parades for. For that it becomes the duty of all good ot to join in this movement to make it the most inspiring of all the Liberty loan campaigns to inspire the bringing out of the last reluctant procrastin Rtng dollar. The parades intended not for show, but to produce psychological effect which will mani test itself in the completion of quota and more.
 The of Phoenix who taking part in this movement deserve all the support that be given it. We do not know whether it is in other communities not, but in this one the women have been engaged in work far in of their pro portion to the whole population and with a whole heartedness and single mipdedness beyond that of their husbands, their brothers and their fathers

LANGUAGE AS A WAR ISSUE

So long as government was conducted exclusively by throne and arisocracy, the ruling class was con- strained speak language, that of the court and of polite society. All cultivated people in the land educated in the same literary tongue, which naturally used in official transactions.
 The uneducated classes talked their dialects and cared little what their rulers spoke. They have not always objected even when these men affected foreign culture Frederick the Great thought himself a French Htterateur and spelled his name like Frenchman. But when popular elections were intro duced and still more when primary schools became universal the question of language assumed far greater importance Then the matter of was brought to the forefront.
 The Czechs in Austria for example, must insist that their children shall be taught in Czech that their language shall not be excluded public fairs, their people will inevitably be Germanized The sentiment has, no doubt, in cases been exaggerated until of letters have raised dialect into language, and local patriotism has inspired a small branch of great with feeling of distinct nationality.

 WONAN'S 5 PLEA

The following, contributed through the Phoenix section of the Council ol Jewish Women by Mrs. Henry Bas- witZ, is q reminder to each son ana | daughter of America of the big and noble partshat can be played by them 1 in this ordeal through which our country is passing. It recalls to them that their valor is about to be tested and that they will be judged by the manner in which they meet these re- responsibilities. It is as follows:
 This great war means so much to our young men. It will develop all | that is in them, and when the war IS over our returned men will be recog- | nlzed as the greatest favOrites, because | they will have had an immense deVel- | opment. both mentally and morally. They have come from stock devoted to | finances, arts and sciences; many care less of body and untrained in the arts of war, but they will come out of this conflict as a great army of tested and developed men.
 Tt is every mans duty and his right to do all that he possibly can at this time. We say get up and fight; 1t Is | an opportunity that will dominate a | real man. It is imperative that the men at home, the women at home, | the children at home, keep business moving, keep production at top notchs but as efficient as at all possible. l Without this big commercial army at home, proper aid cannot be given to the great army in the firing lines. The people at home must have good execu- | tives as much as the military organ | izations need good officials, just as 1t is the mems duty to do his best at the front it is the duty of us at home to do the best we can in business. It is here that the women of America can do good work. As capable in civil life as the American soldier is in mili- tary tactics.
 In the military camp men are working hard to perfect themselves for responsible work. The women at home must do the same for work in
 the office and for handling business
 The women must fit themselves to contribute every ounce of power to
 produce products in order that success
 may come to the men in the field. To
 the women will come the responsi-
 bility now as well as after the war to
 do great work everywhere.
 The women of America can and will rise to this emergency now so
 great in this country. Women are
 now soldiers; over 60000 women have
 gone across the sea to help win this
 war, and here they are in the hospi-

Tariff Ammunition

The American people are not at present interested in any tariff policy We not apt be interested in anything which only very remotely concerns us The war has established international trade rea- lion which superseded all American tariff legislation and left us in such condition as we would be in with an extremely high and almost prohbitive tariff. We are for the moment without competition at home and would be almost so throughout the western hemis- phere were it not for the limitations the war has put upon our production. This is condition that is likely 10 obtain for some years to come. This condition as brought about by single shot fired from pistol in the Balkan town of Sarajevo July day four years ago, repeating all the tariff legislation which our democratic brethren had so laboriously constructed That shot prevented a demonstration of the futitv of that legislation.
 We would not think of mentioning the tariff now but for recent address by Burel S. Cutler chief of the bureau of foreign domestic commerce before the Georgia Manufacturers' Association in which he set out some brilliant corruscating views on the sub 1eet of preparation for peace. Said Mr Cutler Not less than 3.ee0,0o0 of Great Brains army alone will seek industrial occupation on their return home in consequence of which there is likely 10 be an in tensive competition between that empire and orr

Conseription of Labor

At least two states have enacted or have laws pending to enforce labor. It has been recommended in congress that federal legislation be enacted the conscripton of labor. and believe the government will ultimately find it necessary to take such action.
 We have rather anomalous situation with regard to conscripton. Citizens of certain age may be forced into military service, but supplies for them depend upon the voluntary service of the men who remain unconscripted. If men choose to engage in food production. in shipbuildng the manufac. ture of munitions the copscript is useless.
 There several classes of idle men. There is the lazy man. there is the who will work only under conditions of his dictaton, and there is the wealthy idler, who though he may not be lazy, has no urge for productive employment. All these should be taken by the scruff of the neck" and dragged into service
 Here is the situation: The nation needs wealth to carry on a long If all the money in the United States were available it would not be enough to last very ong If all the wealth that could be con- verted into cash were converted we would still need moro cash. What Is needed is new wealth constant supply from day to day and from year to year. New wealth cannot be created by legislation pr by speculation. or by accommodating interest and dividends. It can be created only by labor the original source of all wealth.
 So, any man, however great his accumulation of wealth may be, if he is not doing his part in adding new wealth to the nations wealth is not worth the room he occupies in busy country.
 We hope the time will come when q recruiting officer one recruiting for the ranks of labor will be stationed at every pool hall every place where men congregate to fritter away time. and that he will nduct them into some branch of the industrial service
 We further hope that will have legislation applicable, of course, only in war time under which every man who proposes a general strike may be dealt with only strong, firm nations deal with traitors.

 "Efficiencv and co-opera.io are the two dominant ideas of today.

She will do her best: she will emerge from her ordeal a prouder and nobler nation. purged from many weaknesses.
 There is a big and noble part to play for each and every true son and daughter of this republic. One of the finest things we can now do is to maintain composure, refuse to be stampeded by any foolish fears, pull right on as before, only faster, and, slackers in business, as well as slack CTS in the ranks of war must not be tolerated"

He said that Houser was making a miserable salary" of s75 a month and that he had wife and child.

DERDEN GRANTED. ARMY KEMP T|ON

c. P. Neyitt, attorney for the South west Cotton company, has furnished the following interesting news item:
 In September of last year Charles V. Derden, superintendent of the 5000 acre Chandler ranch being operated by the Southwest Cotton company of this city, was subject to the draft. As he was experienced in the raising and growing of long staple Egyptian cot ton, the Southwest Cotton company applied for his exemption to the dis trict board on the ground that MT. Derden was engaged in an agricultural industry which was necessary to the maintenance of the military establish ment. The request for exemption on the ground above stated was very promptly denied. The Southwest Cot ton company then applied to the dis trict board for a rehearing. filing ad ditional affidavits and giving addition al reasons why he should be exempted The reconsideration was promptly de- nied by the district board. The South west Cotton company, in accordance with the rules and regulations, then made application to the local board re- questing such board to refrain from CdllluS MI. DGIQtn III lildl tUt company might have a short time in which to secure the services of some competent man to take his place. This request was also denied and shortly thereafter MT. Derden was drafted into the army, belonging to Company K, 159th Infantry, Camp Kearny, Cali fornia.
 AS the attorney for the Southwest Cotton company I advised an appeal to the president, which appeal was duly perfected and within O short time thereafter was filed with the United States provost marshal general, who is the direct representative of President Wilson in such cases.
 The Southwest Cotton company has just ben notified that the decision of the district beard denying exemption has been reversed and that MT. Derden has been exempted from service in the army. He will return from Camp kearny, California, to Phoenix with in the next few days and undoubtedly will occupy the position which he for merly had with the company.
 Approximately D of the employees of the Southwest Cotton company have been drafted into service and this ia the only instance wherein the company has asked or applied for an exemption
