fully of MT. Orme and the pioneers. He then continued
 No campaign could start better than has this one with the meeting to- night. You have begun well. Team work is the thing that counts, and 1t is teamwork that must bring us to- gether for the good of all in the ad vancement of your city. Remember, as in the case of a ship being warped into a drydock, that one rope from her to a pier-head will overcome the efforts of hundred men to pull that ship into place. Let us see what teamwork has done in other cities. Twenty years ago Long Beach was hardly a town, and near it was Santa Monica. Long Beach had then not more than 1000 people, and today 1t has 60,000 while Santa Monica and Ocean Park are still fighting over name. Long Beach had teamwork Santa Monica had none.
 Jefferson, Texas, a few years ago
 was a prosperous and progressive city. It had 10000 inhabitants and every in ducement to carry itself along to a great and bright future. But it's citi- zens lacked teamwork, and today Jef- ferson has scarcely 2,O00 citizens and [ a score of Texas cities have eclipsed it. Fresno. Cal, raised s4G,000 two years ago for a greater chamber of commerce and a greater town, and to-
 
 for the lesson that it has learned in that first campaign has been the lesson of cooperation, of team work and their Iresults-success, growth, betterment. Team work always wins whether with men or communities, and Phoenix to- night is setting out to win,' pr. Won kIeinSmid Speaks 1 Postmaster Heard then introduced Prof R. D. von KleinSmid, president of the University of Arizona, saying; | Professor von KleinSmid is a scien-
 tist and Holmes has remarked that
 science is a first rate piece of furni-
 ture for a mans upper chamber if he l has common sense in the ground floor. | Professor von KleinSmid is that kind | of a scientist for his ground floor is
 filled with the best of common sense. | Professor won Klein Smids address
 was short and filled with Illustrative stories. He spoke in part as follows:
 Tt is good to look into the faces Of you men and women and to hear you sing.
 l q do not know why I was invited here, unless it is because Phoenix can afford to look benignly at Tucsonians, although Tucson once held quite an air of big brotherliness' with regard to Phoenix and watched it's companion city with fraternal carefulness. But times have changed.
 "Phoenix is today the admiration ot Arizona. There is not a citizen that IS not proud of our capital city. We are proud of her especially because of her tremendous dedication of all she is ana has in her determination to win out. She is always willing to take a chance and to make it winning chance, and when she is rebuffed she never loses the will to press on.
 sTn the plan to make herself a great CT and better city. she has shown the same force and power It is no longer a question of Can 1t be done?' or | There's nothing to the plan but it l has already reached the point of I just knew we could do it..
 But in building up your city there lis one thing that must be watched. As yau cannot purify the stage with out purifying the audience first. so Iyou cannot make clean city without first cleansing it's citizens. You can have a better city only by making your citizens better-by using tools that lean do the work"
 I Dr. G. w. Shelton Speaks.
 Dr. G. W. Shelton. head of the Bet I ter City MovemeRt' in Pittsburgh. IPa., then delivered the chief address lof the evening. His speech was a sum Imarizing of all the elements that go Unto the making of better city, and
 he emphasized the great part that must be played in the work os better
 ment by a right morality. He spoke in part as follows:
 .If there is a pessimist tonight in lall Phoenix he would become a shout ling optimist if he could be brought lhere at the speakers table and shown lthe enthusiasm of this audience. It is Ia great. a wonderful occasion.
 "I looked. over your city today, but II did not see Phoenix I saw your lufr nfS nA fnI ht1i1 n6 lyour hotels, but Phoenix is the men and women that are in it and the best Iof Phoenix is represented by those who are sitting before me.
 q q quite agree with all the things
 I have heard today about your city but it is one thing to boast and another to boost. The first never gets one any where, while the second spells achieve : ment every time. In Phoenix. it seems to me, it is time now to stop boastins
 and to begin boosting.
 This is a day of improvement, anC
 I can imagine that some believe that we have improved our lot because WI
 have taken what has been left to u:
 by those that have preceded us. This i.
 a fallacy-for the golden age is yet be
 fore us, and we are at the rising ant , not the setting of the sun
 Must Plan Our City , If we want to have beautiful cite: we must plan them. This has been tht
 difficulty with most cities-they hay, grown up by themselves. A COW hai , wandered through the fields, and sh' 7 has taken the same path a hundred times. The man builds store alon:
 the COW path, and another erects . house. and soon you have a street an, !, a city built along that path and tn II result is-Bostoni When you wish t. build house, you first go to an arch
