ROTAR|AN MOTTO
IS THE SUBJECT
At CLUB LUNCH

Roger Molten, district governor
of the rotary section of the west
and president of Colorado college
of Colorado Springs. gave a very
stirring address to the Albuquerque
Rotalians at their weekly luncheon
in Taft hall yesterday noon. The
theme of Mr.. Motten's speech CEN
tered about the motto of the club,
He profits most who serves best,
and with this sentiment in view
he exhorted the local members that
they should, no matter at what
cost, be examples of perfect citt-
Zenship in their own community;
that the principles and standards
governing their private and bust
ness lives should be so irreproach-
able that every boy or girl in the
community will regard them as
perfect ideals and constant sources
of inspiration; and, finally, that
painstaking, BENEVOLENT service in
variably offers its own reward
The speaker also showed that
there is wide gulf separating the
terms "Rotarian" and "member of
the Rotary club. - A Rotarian is one
who will protect thel interests of
his community regardless OF any
personal hazard. He is a public
spirited citizen who will do his ut
most to fraterhize. who win con-
tribute his best efforts in making
his community n realm OF hearty
cooperation and good fellowship.
Being a member of the Rotary
club does not of itself signify any
of this. The problem resolves it.
self into a matter of ones own indi-
vidual inclinations whether he is a
member of the organization or not.
Mr.. Molten then stated the aims
and aspirations Of the club, report
porting that q widespread move
ment is that of founding clubs for
boys and girls whose objects are to
promote wholesome. healthtul
amusements, to afford proper IN
structions to the youth of the com
munity, and, finally, to guide them
past the shoals and pitfalls of a
critical, impulsive and precarious
period

probation of the cordial reception
which they received while i'm Japan
this month. The series of official
dinners which was offered to Ad
mira Gleaves. the commander-in-
chief of the fleet, was supplement-
ed by various other courtesies.
A committee of Yokohama resi-
dents headed by Mayor Kubota sent
little present of fruits and tobac-
co to each and every one of the
500 seamen aboard the South Da-
kota, and the entire crew of the
ship were in relays entertained at
various Japanese dinners and
geisha dances.
Admiral Gleaves was officially
informed upon his arrival that his
majesty the emperor had conferred
upon him the decoration Of the
First order of the Sacred Treasure.
The announcement was made at
dinner given by Admiral Cato, min
lister of marine, IN honof or the
American admiral. Removing the
emblem of the same decoration
from his own breast, Admiral Kato
said to Admiral Gleaves; Your
decoration has been forwarded to
Washington, but will you wear
mine when you are received by his
majesty tomorrow" He then
pinned, his emblem upon the coat
of Admiral Gleaves.
Just before sailing to Shanghai
en- route for Vladivostok, Admiral

THE, STATE CONVENTION

The Democratic State Convention
held in Louisville last week had
enough spirit of rivalry and contest
about it to relieve the proceedings,
and yet such contest has developed
no trace of rancor or discOrd. There
was among the delegates a fine spirit
Of harmony and good feeling. They
were bent upon party victory and
rot on the success of any individual
in that party. They seemed to re-
tIize that the campaign this fall was
on and that any strife within the
party meant defeat and disaster. A.
the Convention, Senator Beckham
made an admirable address dealing
with the achievements of the party
at Washington within the last seven
years. No party, he said, in a half
century. had gone before the people
with a stronger record. Senator
Stanley made harmony speech and
appealed especially to his friends to
give their support to Senator Beck
ham and TO all the party nominees
this fall.
