With reverent hearts the American people will
gather tomorrow beside thousands of graves to be-
deck them with Natures choicest offering as token
of the great appreciation in which free people hold
those who willingly risked all to establish and main
tain their liberties.
This great ceremonial is observed by united
people in spirit of patriotic gratitude that weighs
well the great service rendered by all embraced with
in its application Upon this solemn occasion people
unite freely and willingly than upon any other
public manifestation To i'll it has common signific-
ance. Whatever may be the opinions of men upon
other subjects all agree that those who risk fe health
and comfCn for the common defense are worthy of
one day in the year to be given to their memory.
Upon such occasions it is usual for those who
write and those who speak to present trite and well
worn remarks upon cOnsecrating ourselves to the
great cause to which those we honor now gave the full
of devotion 1t is easy to say such things
easy to write them But when a scoffer arises and
asks what men and women are to- do to compass that
self conservation there arises at all the differ
Of opinion that go to make political and faction
al differences in America. When that question is
asked the subject passes from abstract idealsm to
concrete application and it is in such concrete appi
cation that comes all the wide differences between
political parties and leaders in political thought
Granting that each and every man or woman
desires to stand for and support that which is best
for the community and the country, we must admit
that is in the detail that comes differences So even
the speaker writer to endeavor to draw from
patriotic and reverent spirit of the time lessons
for application to concrete duties of citizenship he
deal in general terms only trusting to the univers-
al desires to do what is right to put people in the

The principal cause of the doTmancy
81 the Chamber Of Commerce lies in
the fact that it is controlled by an
ollgarchy in the form of a directorate
who meet once a month in formal SEES
sion to decide the policies and activi-
ties of the organization, and who have
on several occasions refused to ac-
cept suggestions Tor activities from
members because they were not on
the directorate. If this system could
be abolished and monthly meetings of
the entire membership held, and every
bodygiven a chance to express his OPP
inions and work for the upbuilding of
the city, regardless of whether he be-
longs to the proper clique so long as
he has the best interests of the city
at heart, we believe that Nogales
could then get along very we'll with
only one civic organization and real
good accomplished by the consOlida-
ton of the two bodies.
Under the present system how
ever, we believe that to consolidate
the two bodies would mean the stiff
ling of the activities of a number Of
young men who have shown their abil-
ity to do things for the city and whose
young energy is badly needed in the
proper upbuilding of the community.

Once more the question of consoli-

and the Young Business Mems Associ-
alton is up for discussion, and this
time is being considered more serious
ly by the latter organization.
If such a consolidation could be
effected without losing the spirit of
independence and progressiveness on
the part of the members of the Y. B.
NJ. A. it would undoubtedly be good
thing. as it would save the double dues
and the duplicated effort which has
resulted from the two civic organiza-
tons during the past year. But
when the question was up for discus

ization, three different members stat
