STATE COMMITTEE FUR MEMORIAL TO
 MEET HERE TODAY

The state executive committee and eleven of the fourteen county chair men of the Roosevelt Memor al asso- citation will meet at 10 o'clock this morning to lay plans for the work in held at the office of Governor Camp bell.
 State headquarters for the associa- ton were established yesterday at the chamber of commerce. where Captain George A AlSire will be in charge as office manager.
 The national campaign for $5,000, 900 to be used in the acquisition, develop ment and maintenance of a park in the town of Oyster Bay will begin Octo- Der 20 and endure until October 27. Arizona's share in the memorial fund will be $25,000, and it is intended that 15,000 residents of the state, including school children, win contribute
 Colonel James H. McClintock, ex- ecutive secretary, in speaking of to- days meeting, stated yesterday tna. it is likely that the three county char, men as yet unnamed, will be ap- pointed today. As to the method of collecting contributions, Colonel Me- Clintock said there would be differ ences of method in each county. but the main idea would be to make the movement as wide spread as possible and give every one a chance to par ticipate in the rearing of a monument to the greates American of this gen. eration."

LOCAL MAN SAYS HEALTH DEPT. |S
 NUT DOING DUTY

"Either the city health department should be aroused to immediate activ ity or their powers transferred to the police department was the opinion given yesterday by Harry Thompson of the Palace Hardware company, while discussing the cleanup day set for October 9.
 Every day should be a cleanup day, ' he said. and the efforts of particular people to maintain sanitary conditions should be better augmented by the paid employees working under the su- pervisio1 of the health department. At the present time when a complaint is made to the police department re- garding garbage or trash that should he removed, the complaint is referred 10 the health department and from there the buck is passed back to the police"
 Under the present system the garb- age and trash IS removed by a con- tracting firm. Thompson led the way 10 the rear or the Palace Hardware store on Washington street and pointed 10 high pile of trash and refuse which was mingled with decayed garbage.
 That is the usual condition" he said and explained that a complaint to the health department brought no results
 "PhoeniX is in worse sanitary con dition than any other city of it's size in the United States was Thomson's opinion. This is especially true of the sections of the city tenanted by negroes and MeXicans. cleanup day is bound to bring very desirable re- suits but the campaign against fifth and disease breeding refuse must not stop there. The day can best serve it's purpose by bringing to the atten- ton of the proper authorities the exact condition the city Is m and apprise them of the fact, the situation can be remedied."

tary of the Treasury, in statement
just issued, shows that by the 30th
of next June, when the whole cost Of
the war will have been financed, we
shall have total public debt of
twenty-six and half billions; all but
about one billion of that vast sum
will be war debt. To these losses
and burdens we must add the grave
social and industrial disturbances due
to war.
By rejecting the League covenant,
or endangering its acceptance by all
the nations, we expose the United
States of America to repetition of
these calamities, we invite a recur-
renee Of war with all its awful costs
and disasters. President Wilson and
the supporters of the League are
zealously striving to secure for the
whole world the blessings of assured
peace, but to no other nation would
the assurance of peace be a greater
blessing. 1t means that we want to
be left free to work out our national
destiny undisturbed by the clash Of
arms, and the history of the last
five years warns us that a resort to
arms in any part of the world must
compel us to take thought about our
own responsibility, our own security.
The people of the United States
ordained and established their Con-
stitution not only to form a more
perfect union, but to establish
justice, insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defense, pro-
mote the general welfare, and secure
the blessings of liberty to ourselves
and our posterity." Every one Of
these great ends will be served by the
League of Nations. International in
their scope, Mr.. Wilson's labors in
behalf of the League are intensely
and in the very highest degree
national and American.

HE COULDN'T GIVE 1T AWAY

1t seems to us that there could
have been dozens of ways for Car
negie to have given away or used his
fortune to bless and benefit humani-
ty. First of all is the mission fields
for spreading the gospel of christi
anity, civilization and clean living to
the countries of the remote sections
of the world. Next there are the
unsettled and undeveloped portions
of the world that humanity is crying
for, for homes. He could go to those
places and build irrigation projects,
monuments that will last thru the
ages and will supply humanity with
a place to live and prosper and a
chance to get foothold on life. He
could have loaned his money at low
rate of interest to people to buy
homes and farms.
There are thousands of worthy
projects the world over that are cry
ing for money to finance them with,
projects which in their development
would furnish hundreds of thousands
of opportunities for good people tC

poverty or at best the drudgery of 6

SUICIDE NEAR HOOKER

John Byrl Wallace, age % years
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse S. Wallace
who reside five miles north and two
miles west of Hooker, committed sui.
eide early Tuesday morning, August
18th.
A young brother with whom John
had slept on the porch, awoke to find
John missing from the bed and the
little boy went to the barn to look for
his brother and found the body in a
farm wagon with a 22-rifle by the
side of the body.
John was a soldier and had sustain
ed serious wound to his head in
August, 1918, and at the same time
was wounded in one leg. After his
injuries were received he never went
back on the firing line and was re-
turned home in casualty company
in February, 1919.
He had been working on the farm
but suffered constantly with pain in
his head and it is thought this led to
the mental depression or worry that
caused him to take his life. The COM
munity was greatly shocked to learn
of Johns death and the sympathy of
all goes out to the bereaved family.

HoMESTEADING is
ALL BUT EXTINCT
There Are But 5000 Acres of Public
Land in Kansas.

Homesteading land in Kansas has
become all but extinct. In the entire
state there is not to exceed 5000
acres open to homesteading, and this
land is considered worthless for
agricultural purposes, according to
the records of the government land
office here.
Five years ago there were about
100000 acres remaining in the To-
peka land office district and between
$4,000 and 10000 in the Dodge City
district. Also, during the last few
years homesteaders have absorbed
practically all of the 100000 acres
thrown open by the government and
formerly held under the forest re-
serve. Due to this reduction of fed
eral lands, the Dodge City and To-
peka land offices recently have been
ordered consolidated, effective Sep

The lands are mostly sand dunes on

with the exception of a small tract

almost valueless, because it is in the

BANKS

1t is not as popular today for the
multitude to condemn banks as it was
few years ago. The people have
found out during the time the war was
being carried on that the great sys-
TEN of banks that spread over our
country, by their work and their in
vestment made it possible to provide
the government with the money that
carried the war to successful term
ination and brought peace and lib
erty to the world, and now that the
battle has ended the banks are found
fighting to protect the interests of
their localities wherever it is pos
sible by advancing the finance neces-
sary to carry on the business opera
tions of our country.
We could no more in this day and
age transact the business of our
country without the banks, than we
could harvest our crops of grain and
hay by the old method of the scythe
and the cradle.
The growth and development of
our banking system has kept in close
touch with the growth and develop
ment of our states and nation and
has been found rendering full assis-
lance where their help was required
and as said before, it is not so pop
ular now to get out upon the streets
and belittle a man because he is a
banker as it used to be a few years
ago when unnecessary prejudice and
jealousy existed against men engag-
ed in the banking business.-Wood-

woman, whose first name is Maude.

THE HIGHEST AMERIcANIsM
Editorial from
The New York Times.)


It Is the boast of the Republican
opponents of the Treaty and the
League covenant that they are "for
America first" Senator Watson Of
Indiana, in the course of his inter-
Tgiew at the White House, Scaled
NMr. Wilson an Internationally" an
! appellation the President declined to
accept.
Mr.. Wilson may we'll decline to be
called an internationalist, for in seek
ing the application of the Peace
Treaty and the establishment of the
League Of Nations he is doing more
for America, for America first, than
all the Senators opposing the League
will be able to do for their country
even should they live to Biblical ages.
We are profoundly interested in the
welfare of our sister nations-none
but the narrowest and most Grabbed
Of the foes of the Treaty would deny
that-but the League of Nations will
be the great bulwark of our own
peace and security. In proportion to
our greatness as a nation, to the
immensely of our interests, which
would be imperiled by war, we are
more deeply concerned than any
other nation for the erection of this
great safeguard of the worlds peace.
If the League of Nations had ex-
listed in 1914 there would have been
no war. For that war we raised an
army of four million men. We sent
over two million soldiers over the
seas. The casualty lists of the War
Department show that $4,000 Ameri-
can soldiers were killed in action,
$4,000 died of wounds, $4,000 Of
