DR. NORTON TO. HEAD CANPA|C
 T0 JET s50,000.
Well-Known Phoenix Citi- zen Will Be Field Marshal In Campaign Of Raising The Money To Pay "Y" Debts

Dr. J. c. Norton. one of the foremost civic workers in the city, has been named as field marshal of the $50, 900 campaign which will be inaugurated by the Y. M. c. A. on December 1.
 This announcement was made at the Y headquarters yesterday when it was confidently predicted that the amount would be raised in the eight days set aside for the campaign which will not only lift the mortgage on the Y but which will make possible the enlarge ment of the boys department.
 General satisfaction was expressed when it became known that Dr. Nor ton had not only accepted the appoint ment as general chairman but that he would devote his time exclusively to the drive. He has had years of experi- ence in campaigning for funds which coupled with more than quarter of a century which he has been identified with every public movement here makes him remarkably well qualified to direct the movements which he heads
 Many Achievements
 Perhaps one of the best known eff forts of Dr. Norton was his connection with the Valley Bank Adjustment com pany when as chairman of the commit tee he aided in working out of a plan of general good to the community. As president of the Chamber of Commerce he made a splendid record and his af- filiation with the Y over a long term of years has been for it's best interests. pr. Norton has been a director of the local association for nine years which time he has served in the capacity of treasurer. During the war period he was active in all the drives and was particularly so in the two campaigns of the Y.
 War times developed the spirit of cooperation" said Dr. Norton. The spirit of cooperation means everyone doing his part and as this campaign is for funds for one of the few public institutions of the community which has to do with the welfare of all classes we expect that everyone will do his share at the time.''
 Time Is Propitious.
 The officers and directors have in- terviewed scores of business and pro- fessional men and all agree that there never has been time in the past ten years when the mortgage could be lifted as easily as at present. The city and the country are both in a most pros porous condition which will have a bearing on the campaign we believe Certainly mortgages, which have no4 advanced with the high cost of living should be paid off now.
 pr. Norton explained that the cam paign policy was "all or none.' He said that if the goal was not reached the pledges would not be binding. In his mind however, there is no questios but that the eight days drive will enC in success declaring that the time: were never more favorable for a cam. paign.
 Dr. Norton recalled the s1O0,000 cam paign waged for the building whicl now houses Y activities, and stated that at that time, A. c. Bartlett gay, flO,0O0 on condition that the balanc,

 The $1oOooo Campaign.
 The original subscribers of the form CT campaign numbered 1,080, the aver, age subscribed totalling S95 to each subscriber. The amount ranged from s5 to $10,000 and there were several over $2,000 donations to the fund which was secured after Il days effort on the part of leading citizens of Phoenix Among the prominent men who served on the committees were J. w. Doris, Dwight B. Beard, B. A Fowler, Simon Ober- fielder, Lloyd Christy, Frank T. Alkire, H. J. Mo Clung, A. c. Bartlett, L. W. CoggingS, $. H. Mitchell, H. B.

 First Move For HY."
 He brings that campaign up-to date in his remembrance of the still earlier history of the Y in Phoenix He has distinct remembrance of a group of men meeting in 1892 to discuss the pos sibi1ity of such an organization in this city. He recalls the temporary quarters where the Lamson Business college is now established only instead of the spacious rooms of the college, the Y had one shower bath on the back roof and a reading room in which athletic sports were also held. Colonel Christy was president and one of the boosters in those early days and he with Dr. Nor ton as secretary of the board and some few others succeeded in securing ap- proximately 200 members. The activity continued two or three years and when hard times hit the valley the active work ceased until the $1o0, 900 campaign was inaugurated
 The result of that campaign gave Phoenix one of its worthwhile institu- tions, according to Dr. Norton, who sees even greater results when the coming campaign comes to a success ful completion

|S TO ASK REPEAL IF
 THE BOXING LAW
Executive Declares Prize Fighting Brutal And De- grading-Bill Had Been Intended For Soldiers

Prize fighting is brutal and degrad- ing sport, according to Governor Thom- as E. Campbell, the governor stating that he permitted the passage of the bill legalizing it here because he had supposed the bill to be purely a meas ure for legalizing the boxing bouts which the returned soldiers desired, but that the soldiers have not benefited therefrom and promoters have taken the fullest advantage of the bill.
 His desk is besieged daily, he says, with mail from the church people of the state in which the strongest pro- testations are made for his aid in se- curing the repeal of the boxing bin known as H. B. No. 113.
 The governor states, further, that in his next message to the legislature he will advocate the repeal of the bill and that if any effort is made to legal ize buIl-fighting in this state he will take pleasure in vetoing any bill to that effect.
 In letter yesterday to Rev. Harlan Page Cory, of Webb, the governor states his attitude as follows.
 Received Many Letters.
 My dear MT. Cory.
 Tt is gratifying that the church peo- pie of the state are taking such an ac- tive interest in the cause of good citi- zenship as is exemplified by the num- Der of letters I have lately received asking for the repeal of House Bill No. 113, known as the boxing law.
 'The history of this measure is not only Illuminating, but perhaps would be of interest to you and the members of your congregation When passed by hn T 1af faI fn me that the sentiment which demand ed it's enactment came from the re- turned soldiers who had been provided with this kind of sport, not only in the camps here, but abroad. The bin does not legalize prize fighting, but I re- gret to say that every such exhibition held in this state has been of that character, and by the farthest stretch of imagination could not be classified as a boxing exhibition.
 Soldiers Not Benefited.
 While extremely doubtful whether the law would work out as represented to me, felt that these boys who had sacrificed so much for their country were entitled to some consideration, and therefore permitted the bill to be- come a law, but without my signature. Since then it has been demonstrated beyond argument that the soldiers have have not benefited, but promoters have taken advantage of the measure and used it for the enrichment of their own pocketbooks.
 Prize fighting is a brutal and de- grading sport, and I thoroughly agree with the stand taken by the church people of this state that it should be abolished. Bull fighting falls within the same class, and if any effort is made to legalize it in Arizona I will take much pleasure in vetoing any such measure that comes before me. Will Ask Repeal.

COOPERATION VERSUS SOCIALISM

American farms must keep clearly be-
fore their minds the difference between
cooperation and socialism.
State socialism or state ownership of
industries as proposed by the Nonpartis-
an league is not cooperation.
Referring to the Newport, Wash,
Creamery association on a real coopera-
tive basis, President Thompson says:
Cooperation is word that has not
been given full recognition by the aver
age individual at least in the past, but
the future is more or less based on a
broader Interpretation of the word.
"The cooperative movement the past
two years has been establishing itself in
the shape of large number of associa-
tions, throughout the state, in the form
of corportions handling various lines of
products"
The Newport Miner says:
Statistics on cooperative enterprises
show us that 95 per cent of such enter
prises are failures, and the causes for the
failures are various"
1t is nevertheless a fact that coopera-
tive enterprises, such as creameries, can
neries and marketing are growing in IA
vor and success in our country.

Commercial activity is universally re-

Beet acreage is being largely increased

of extra laborers and greatly increased
payrolls to operate the sugar factories.
This activity will greatly stimulate the
demand for agricultural implements,

thus will increase the number of workers

EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY

The socialist dream that laws can make
all men equal is founded on misinterpre-
tation of the constitution that all men
shall be free and equal overlooking the
fact that this referred to political status.
To give all men equal opportunities be-
fore the law and under the constitution
was the highest concept of the founders
Of this government, but it was never
dreamed by them that this referred to
material conditions.
Tc fail to take into account individual
selfishness and the natural weaknesses
of the undeveloped individual, to say
nothing of natural talent and natural
born cussedness and inefficiency would
seem to be pure folly.
All government can do is to give each
member of society an equal chance but it
cannot make that Individual take it and
nike the most Of it. 1t cannot make men
or women wise, frugal, Industrious or in
telligent.
The false, un-American, hypocritical in
depreciation of the constitution that laws
can make all men equal would destroy all
individual values and only make all men
equal by making all men cyphers under
autocracy.

CULTURE

1t is culture which gives character, in
tellectual and spiritual atmosphere to
man or woman. The Danes attached the
greatest Importance to this. The founder
of their high school system realized that
it is of the first Importance to make
man a good human being, more import
ant even than it is to make him an eff
Gent business man or to equip him with
scientific knowledge Therefore as the
center of that education Danes were
taught the history and literature Of Den
mark, the story of their national heroes,
the poetry, folk songs and music which
were peculiar to their country, together
with survey of world history; in fact,
they impaired a culture, knowledge OF
the best which had been thought or done
by Danes. The children at our national
schools are laying the foundations for ac-
quiring knowledge rather than acquiring
culture, an economic policy or scientific
education. They are too young to COM
prehend all that is in volved in the idea
of national culture. An Irish rural uni
versity would impart to its pupils a
knowledge of Irish literature, the legend
airy history, the story of national heroes,
all noble deeds, all exaltation Of mind
manifesting itself in poetry, music, song,
or action. We were made by that past;
we are the inheritors of it. But all that
vast literature and tradition is today al
most unknown to Irish people. Its beau
ties are only known to scholars. Yet
generation after generation Of our an
cestors had dreams of beauty, sacrificed
themselves for causes, did memorable
things and they were recorded, but that
record is little known. The music is ex-
traordinary in its appeal, but it also is
known but to few. Without culture OF
some kind man is spiritually boor.
He may be an efficient worker at his
business, but he will make any educated
person feel that behind his business eff
cheney his soul is empty and he is hardly
more than an intellectual animal. One OF
the aims, the central aim, indeed, OF an
Irish peasant university should be to give
access to that vast treasure house OF Irish
tradition, song, story and music to every
person enrolled as a pupil-The Irish
Homestead.

AMERICAS DIsINTEREsTEDNESs

He is a purblind. reader of history, he
wholly mistakes the philosophy of Amer
lea and of Americas place in the world,
who does not realize that this country
owes its freedom from suspicion to that
very policy which the president now
wants us to abandon. If America does
indeed mean so much to the world if it
inspires other nations with confidence
and with hope, as we rejoice to believe, it
is because we have consistently followed
the wise and prudent course upon which
at the beginning we entered under the
guidance of Washington and Jefferson
and Monroe. 1t is because we have not
meddled in the affairs of European ma
tions which did not concern us. 1t is be-
cause we have refrained from entangling
alliances, and have been content to culti-
vate peace, commerce and honest friend
ship with all. It is because, while we
have ever been ready to enter into tem-
porary alliances for specific purposes, as
we did in the Boxer war in China, and as
we have done in this war against the
Huns, we have not entered balances of
power or concerts of the powers for sell
fish and sordid purposes, nor so tied our
selves up in any International compacts as
to make ourselves party to intrigues,
jealousies or animosities such as too Of
ten prevail among other nations. --Har-

TRYING THE KAISER

1t is impossible from the American
point Of view to have much patience with
squabbles in the peace conference over
the trial and punishment of the kaiser.
We can appreciate that in England and
France he is bitterly hated and we in
America have no reason to be concerned
about his fate. He has helped to make
more mischief than any government has

ent government ownership Of railroads.

SAFE FOR AUTOCRACY

The present president came to office
with matured ideas touching the preroga-
tives of the executive. He worke accord
ing to fixed plan in small matters AS
well as in big. Executive and legislative
power should be, he held, in the same
hands to secure an efficient and coordin>
ated government. This indignation is at
tanned in other countries by the Cabinet
system. A committee of the legislature,
under the leadership of prime minister
makes the laws that it enforces. Pesi-
ent Wilson saw himself as prime min
ister but without the limits by which
prime minister is bound-that is, without
responsibility to Parliament. A Presi-
dent cannot be voted out, yet the Presi-
dent assumed that the executive should
enjoy the privileges, while he escaped the
obligations, of prime minister.
The purpose to reduce Congress to
practical impotency is now conceded. The
White House has sent bowstrings to Con-
gressmen who dared to be independent.
One can hear in imagination the words of
Cromwell, "Sir Henry Vane, Sir Henry
Vane, you will rue this dayw Not only
have particular districts been told whom
instructed to listen and obey The query
has risen in thousands of minds: "Why
Congress at all, with its great expense?"

err way is Roman-the way employed by
Augustus when he conferred all authority
in an Imperator. At Washington there is
imitation of Augustus rather than of the
Athenian demagogues. Congress is to
continue, but as body of automatens.
The undertaking moves rapidly. A
treaty which is not only to end particu-
lar war but to bind the future with re-
spect to most vital political mates is be-
ing designedly drawn to make ratifica-
ton by the Senate mere form. The
President seems to propose nothing 9th.

WILSON'S RESPONSIBILITY

When President Wilson returned from
France rich with the honors and gifts of
kings, he made one or two statements
which seemed excessively modest. He
said that the American draft of coven-,
ant for the League of Nations has been
rejected and that the British draft had
been accepted The covenant was new to
us then and because we were just begin
ming to see the sinister tendency of the
salient articles the real purport of the
presidents statement escaped analysis.
In the covenant adopted at Paris, the
most far reaching article is Article 10
which guarantees the territorial integri-
ty and existing political independence of
the nations, member Of the league.
It fastens upon the United States an
obligation to make war to respect and
preserve ,as against external aggression,
the territorial integrity and existing po-
litical independence Of all states, men,
bers of the league"
Is it possible that we have forgotten
those familiar words? They occur again
and again in the presidents fourteen
points," They are employed with refer
ence to the Balkan states and the new
Polish state which he proposed and
Point IA is as follows:
"a general association of nations must
be formed, under specific covenants, for
the purpose of affording mutual guaran-
tees of political independence and terri
torial integrity to the great and small
states alike"
This is the keystone of the arch. With
out it the entire structure of the League
of Nations would be changed.
Why, then, was the president so willing
to admit that it was the British idea
which finally was adopted? Was it be-
cause. he desired to shift the blame? Was
it because having involved his own nation
inextricably in the. "entangling allan
tes" of Europe, he wished to distract at
tention from his own culpability? Or
was it because he had been outgeneraled
by the British and sought to shield him.
self from derision here at home
Certain it is that the basic article of the
league is the presidents own. And equal
ly certain it is that Great Britain Crap
pied that friendly article to her breast
with hoops of steel, for it promised to
afford an undreamed of power for the
protection of the far flung British en-
pire.
At all events the president did not whis-
per a word about his own responsibility
for an article which has so alarmed and
| offended the American people.
But there is another explanation. Edi-
tor Harvey says the original fourteen
points were of British origin.-Goodwin's
