Bisbee daily review., 1919-10-22

Although the local committees in the drive for funds for the Roosevelt Memorial have been organized and in the field only since Monday, more than $4O0 has been subscribed, ac- cording to an announcement made last evening by Ira B. Joralemon, chair man. This subscription has come from about 400 subscribeds, making the average donation $1.
 The work among the mines was be- gun yesterday and last evening and it is the hope of the committee that this one source will bring in more than gratifying returns. The campaign among other trades and business will also prosecuted diligently, beginning today, and it is believed that tomorrow will see the quota within reach. The total amount to be raised in the War ren district is $1500,or S4000 for Co chise county.
 The following proclamation, calling upon the people of Arizona to ob- serve Monday, October 27. as Roose- welt Day, was issued yesterday:
 In listing great Americans, the nation and the world have given high place to the name of Theodore Roose- welt. The purity of his life, his de- votion to the land of his birth, the high ideals he followed, as well as advocated, and the services, both civil and military, which he whole heartedly rendered to his fellow men, have all been considered in ac- cording to him the rightful title:
 Theodore Roosevelt, American" !"
 As long as the State of Arizona shall have existence the memory of theodore Roosevelt will endure in the hearts of the people, for here especially he will be rememberd through that gratest of all reclama- tion works, the Roosevelt Project, which created an empire from the desert, and was possible only be- cause of his active influence at a critical time. This rugged monu- ment no more statue or work of art in bronze or marble, is typical of the man whose name it bears; a fountain of good to the people, direct bene- factor to thousands of homes. It IS such a monument as he would have wished and within a state made doubly dear to him as the home of many of that gallant regiment that followed him on Cuban battlefields.
 The nation at large has now under taken to honor the memory of the hero who has passed. The Roose- welt Memorial association has been formed, open to the membership of all patriotic Americans, to secure for posterity the Roosevelt home at Oyster Bay, and make it shrine of Americanism as Mount Vernon has been since the time of George Wash ington, the Mecca of countless patriotic pilgrims, and to erect at the nations capital, a memorial of lasting sort and of public utility.
 In this memorial Arizona must have no small part, and in every community it is hoped that the as sociation membership campaign will be actively conducted from October goth to 27th, with especial participa- tion by the schools and churches. It is considered particularly fitting that the last day of the campaign should be set aside for public observance.
 NOW, THEREFORE,, Thomas F. Campbell, Governor of Arizona, by virtue of the authority vested in me by law, do hereby set aside Monday, October 27, 1919, as Roosevelt Day, an ddo request and urge that on that day every effort be put forth to in- sure the success of the Memorial campaign, and that on the evening of such day there will be held public
