duction and often more serious trouble.
 Class domination cannot thrive carries the deadly machinery for it's own destruction. There is no more dangerous force operat ing in this country today than the class minded man, whether he is a laborer, capitalist or farmer--the one who demands a privilege for his class at the ex pense of the American people. It is tribute not founded on right or justice and cannot be eXacted. Americanism cannot live-this nation as conceived by our forefathers in liberty, equal ity and justice-cannot endure handicapped and retarded by the shackles of class control. Such control strikes at the very founda tions of our Republic and threatens its very existence. I hold with Abraham Lincoln that Labor precedes capital and has first claim to our consideration. The trne friend of capital is he who insists that it shall be the servant and not the master of the nation. There can be no real prosperity, in which labor, capital and the public do not share. And there can be nc real or lasting prosperity with our destinies and fortunes under class domination.
 Now, Therefore, I, Thomas B. Campbell, Governor of the State of Arizona, by virtue of the au thority vested in me by law, and recognizing the value of Labor and it's achievements, do here with designate and set aside, Monday. Septemb Der 6, 1920. as Labor Day a legal holiday. And I further recommend and sug- gest that fitting and appropriate exercises be held to commemor ate the occasion at which the people of this state may be made cogniZant of the manner in which the toilers have aided in the de velopment of this common wealth and contributed to it's greatness.

PROCLAMATION OF LABOR DAY

Governor Thomas E Campbell has issued the following Labor Day Proclamation:
 Since the day of the Divine edict: By the sweat of thy brow shalt thou earn thy bread," man has by his labor been earn ing emancipation and progress ing to plane of higher freedom physical and spiritual. All though imposed for the breaking of a command, the mandate, like all these issuing from such a source, was designated as bless ing and not as a punishment. Work. that of the hand and mind, has been the one most potent force in the worlds pro- gress. Nowhere has Labor made such onward strides as in these United States; nowhere has it's achievements been so notable and nowhere has the saying been more fully demonstrated that Labor is King" Labor has struggled and fought it's way to that freedom which com prehends and includes commen surate return for it's services, a voice In the body polite and the benefits enjoyed by one and all under our system of free govern ment. In recognition of the dig nity of the toiler and his envi- able record the State of Arizona has decreed that the first Mon day in September of each year shall be set aside as a holiday on which occasion due honor shall be accorded Labor. With this custom, decreed by legisla, tive enactment as the expression of the will of the people of the state I am in thorough accord.
 The nucleus of organized SO ciety is the individual. No sys- tenn that a bridges the rights of the individual or prevents the exercise of his initiative or in- enduring part of our economic system. No plan that releases the individual from his obliga- tions to his fellow-men, decrees that employment shall be re- stricted to the chosen few and predicates the right to live and earn under restricted conditions, can in its very nature survive. Organization to secure men their full rights, better relations with their employers, improved work ing conditions and adequate com pensation for their labor is jus

The worker must realize that there are certain obligations resting and devolving upon him. among them being: Improvement in quality and quantity of produc- tion; reduction through his efforts and cooperation of the cost of production. higher efficiency and loyalty to and confidence in his employer. The employer also has his duties, obligations and responsibilities. He should re- alize that before misunderstood ing is wiped out and an effective and cordial basis of relationship effected, the demands of Labor, including increase of wages, steady work and proper working conditions, must be considered in a fair and impartial way, and if reasonable, be granted. Too often the employer is arbitrary in his methods of dealing with his men, refusing them the right of presenting their grievances, and thus creating a feeling of dissatisfaction and discontent which leads to decreased pro

PORT DISCRIMINATION.

Tarpa has started a vigorous cam
naien against those interests which
seek to discriminate against the Gulf
Ports, particularly in relation to the
phosphate differential adopted and put
into effect by Jacksonville and other
South Atlantic ports. Philip Shore.
general manager of the Tampa Inter-
ocean Steamship Company. has been
very active in this campaign, and is
quoted as saying:
"The truth is, Tampa has been
asleep while other cities have been
working day and night to secure a
mart of the great volume of foreign
business that has followed the war"
said Mr.. Shore Saturday. No mat
ter how much a few individuals may
do to secure better advantages for
TAMPA, their efforts will fail unless
the business men and civic organiza-
tons of the city are back of them. 1t
takes cooperation to accomplish
things"

from Tampa's book, and start cam

Establishment of additional trade routes
from ports on the South Atlantic and
gulf coasts to provide shippers of the
manufacturing sections of the middle
west a freer access to the sea, was
recognized about the middle of June,
by the shipping committee of the
Southern Commercial Congress in a
memorandum. submitted to Admiral
Benson, chairman Of the shipping
board.
The memorandum suggested that. as
new trade lines develop, prompt allo-
cation of ships by the shipping board
should be made to take care of the
growing requirements of the shippers.
The Gulf Marine Register says: The
constant and continued congestion of
traffic in eastern ports makes it alb
necessary that traffic for ex-
port trade be diverted to other routes.
This it the immediate factor in bring
ing this whole matter of trade routes
into public notice at this time"
But there is an even better reason
for more trade routes being established
from southern ports. and that it. that
the distance from inland points in the
to Southern and Gulf ports is
shorter than most eastern ports, and
the grade to the Southern and Gulf
ports is easier, and for that reason

Mr.. Knocker, where do you come

but can you pull? You are strong at
the brakes, but did you ever stretch
the traces? You can raise objections,
but did you ever put on anything
that meant progress? You can defame
and discourage the men who are try
ing to do something, but what single
thing have you ever done to help
your town up and on?
You are wise, wonderfully wise.
You know exactly how everything
should be done. You have mind that
takes hold-not to speak of tongue
that bites. You have wisdom that
is seldom matched, never missed. One
wonders why you have been over
looked. Such a boon reconstructor
and regulator of human affairs
should be elected by reclamation.
It is a sight for gods and men when
you get into action. Socrates and
Methusaleh, from their caves in the
land of shades, look on with envy as
you dispense wisdom, but you never
get beyond verbal pyrotechnics.
Why don't you take hold and do

easy role to play. No one conducts
so large a business on so small a cap

Midsummer finds Florida talking OF
county fairs and already in some
counties the premium lists are being

come reports that indicate great inter-

the county seat, or some convenient
place, and it would appear that the
winter and spring will see a success

able to attend them all. Florida's
growing season is almost twelve
months long, and consequently the
fairs are held in a period that ranges

products and attractions.
In some sections of the state the eff
fort is made to hold the county fair
late in the fall and then they come in
frequent intervals until the spring is
well advanced. Florida has = winter
crops and fall crops and summer crops

WARNS REPUBLICANS.

The New York Sun and Herald sees
rough shedding for the republican
ticket, and warns republicans that
Harding and Coolidge are not going to
have an easy time defeating Cox and
Roosevelt. Here is the way the Sun
and Herald sums up the situation:
The total number of votes in the
ELECTORAL college is 5S1. Deduct from
these the votes of the following states.
which playing safe must be conceded
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1920-07-15

This leaves $50 electoral votes, out
of which the republicans must get 266
to win the election. Starting with an
almost certain ISL votes to their credit
before invading the Northern field, the
democrats need to find only IS votes
among all the Northern States to elect
the president. If they carry New
York state with it's As votes they
would have to pick up, here and there
only 40 more votes to win the cleo
ton, and these votes should not be diff
ficult to find, especially since Ohio,
with its "a is this year a mighty I'M
certain asset to the republican party.
Commenting on this the Jackson
vile Metropolis says:
According to these figures the demo
cratic ticket needs but IS votes out
side the solid South" to elect Cox
president. If he can run true to form
in Ohio he will gain "a votes for his
party. Cox has beaten the republic
can machine in the Buckeye state on
three separate occasions and is prob
ably the most popular official Ohio has
ever had. Democrats are counting
strongly on his carrying Ohio in No
vember.
Granting that the democrats will
carry Ohio with her "a votes the rest
of the North and West" must fur
nish 81 ELECTORAL votes to place Cox
in the White House.
New York can furnish As of the nec-
essary votes and it is highly probable
that Cox can carry that state. The
fight in New York will be a hard
fought one. Both parties remember
the old saw LAS New York so goes the
country" Cox will have no easy job
in the Empire state but he has more
than a fighting chance there. Many
wise democrats believe that he is the
only man nominated at Frisco that
would have a chance to carry New
York.
Granting that Cox will carry New
York with her As votes!
The rest of "the North and West"
must furnish the democratic ticket
only 16 votes for it to win.
Will California, with IS votes. Ne
braska with 8 votes, Montana with i
votes, Utah with votes, Colorado
with 6 votes, and other western states
that voted the democratic tickn- i'll
1915 remain in the democrats coIdin1?
A combination from these states may
furnish the necessary 16 votes to place
Cox and Roosevelt in the White House.
But the democrats realize as well as
the republicans that the election in
will be close. While the
democratic party can count on the
solid South" still the republican par
ty has it's New England, Pennsylvania,
illinois, Indiana and others.
In Cox the democrats have candi-
date that will gain strength as the
campaign ages. He has already an
nounced that he will not conduct
'front.' porch campaign and that he
will visit every state in the Union in
an old fashioned stumping expedition.
With proper handling, it looks as
.hough Ohio's favorite son will be the
next tenant at the White House.
