 SERVICE

 democracy or aristocracy. The prob
 lem of this age is to believe that men
 are mutually helpful to each other
 and that men have mutual interests
 in each other"
 This was the opinion expressed by .Vice-President Thomas R. Marshall at the state convention of Salvation Army advisory boards at the Hotel Adams Sunday. When he spoke be- fore the delegates of the convention, the vice-president broke a silence on public questions he has maintained since the death of his adopted son, at Washington, at Washington last month. Touching upon his bereave- nrent and the reason for his talk at this time, MT. Marshall said:
 "I said to myself that while here I would say nothing on any public question, but when l was informed by MT. Clark that there was to be meeting for promoting the interests of the Salvation Army, l said 1 could not be faithful to the memory of the little one we loved so well unless by any word of mine I could induce you gentlemen to be faithful to the little ones still on earth"
 As this conference was a pioneer effort, the second of its kind ever held i'll the United States, the un- qualified indorsement of which the vice-president gave the movement in his talk encouraged the delegates to elaborate on plans for the future These plans include a campaign for S30,000 budget, to be carried on in Arizona from May F to May 20. This amount was decided upon after O. C. Bortzmeyer had presented a detailed report which showed con ditions in every county of the state and outlined their requirements.
 There were @ delegates and many visitors at the convention. The newly organized lay boards will cooperate with the Salvation Army in their work. Vernon L. Clark, chairman of the State Advisory Board, presided Avery Thompson, City Manager, made an address of welcome to the visitors.
 Vice President Marshall emphasiz- ed the value of the work being done by the Salvation Army when he said:
 T am myself, as most of you know, an old fashioned blue-stocking Pres byterian, but I am a far better Pres bytcrian than 1 am Christian, and there are lots of others in the same boat. 1 glory in the traditions of my church. I have faith that it is a power for good in the world. am not lessening the love and respect 1 bear for my own when l say to you that it is my deliberate judgment that there is not anything today in the world comparable to what the Salvation Army is doing for human kind. 1 never doubted it since I first met and listened to Evangeliue Booth Of all the great orators in the world she is the greatest" ."
 With characteristic forcefulness at another point in his address the Vice-President whole-heartedly de- clared; T am for the Salvation Army"
 Brigadier Fletcher Agnew of Chi cago, in charge of the Army in the west, gave a detailed accounting of the expenditure of Salvation Army funds. Other speakers on the highly program were Luke Hen derson, Phoenix; R. A. Armstrong, Stafford; E. NJ. Dickerson, Tuscon; Dr. Sampson, Winslow; and E. L. Bartholomew, of Jerome
