CAN you RESIST THE APPEAL?

WHAT" To become a Promoter
of the Society of st. Peter Claver
Il, become Promoter" Well, is this
SO arduous? Is it asking much to give
fifty cents a year to maintain the
works of the Society for the African
Missions? With little good will, and
at the cost perhaps of a few sacrifices,
this Offering can be made by almost
every one. In every large city in this
prosperous country of ours, with a
large per cent of Catholic population,
we should be able to. enlist several
thousand promoters in the cause of
the African Missions. This annual
fifty cents, multiplied by the thousands,
would enable the Society to undertake
very active propaganda and advance
immeasurably missionary work in the
Dark Continent. This pecuniary help
entails no personal work on the part
of the Promoters, whilst it entities
them to share in all the spiritual
favors and indulgences granted to the
Society of st. Peter Clayer by the
Sovereign Pontiff. A certificate of
Premiership is sent to each Promot-
er, and at the end of the year notice
of renewal of dues, SO that the mensr
bers need not burden their memories
with any details whatsoever.
. A life Promotership is $500.
Will you refuse to become a Pro
moter? You know for certain that
some day you must leave this world,
but if you knew just when you would
die-perhaps the time is close at hand
you would surely not refuse the
small aims we are asking to help save
the souls of the benighted Africans

WHAT'S "A FRIEND

"What is friend? will tell you. It is per-
son with whom you dare to be yourself. Your
soul can 60 naked with him.. He seems to ask
of you to put on nothing, only to be what you are
He does not want you to be better or worse
When you are with him you feel as prisoner
feels who has been declared innocent. You do
not have to be on your guard. You can say what
you think so long as it is genuinely you. He un-
derstands those contradictions in your nature
that lead others to misjudge you. With him
breathe free You can take off your coat and
loosen your collar. Youcan avow your little van
tiles and envies and hates and vicious sparkle,
your meanness and absurdities and in opening
them up to him they are lost, dissolved, on the
white ocean of his loyalty. He understands
You do not have to be careful. You can abuse
him, neglect him, tolerate him. He likes you
He is like fire that purges all youdo He is like
water that cleanses all that you say. He is like
wine that warns you to the bone. He under
stands, he understands. You can weep with him,
laugh with him, sin with him, pray with him.

and loves you. "A friend, Iarepeat, is one with

HOPE THESE HOPES COME TRUE

The general idea of the industrial conference
held at Phoenix last week. was good, but we sup
pose the big men will all go home and commence
peddling sheep, CATTLE cotton and copper and for
get all the high ideals and enthusiasm that was
on exhibition for a couple of days. We hope we
are not pessimistic, but too often the trouble is
not the lack OF knowledge, but the lack of action.
If this gathering only put their shoulders to the
wheel enthusiastically for square deal on rail-
road rates, there would be something doing and
Arizona could not be made an outcast and the
goat for the more favored regions.

SOME GOOD ADVICE

Former vice-president Tom Marshall in a re-
cent speech said I'D rather be jackrabbit in
Arizona than the Prince of Wales."s However,
he did not stop there but gave the citizens of
Arizona the following sound bit of advice"
beg you to forget Washington for awhile and
take up the business affairs of Arizona and run
them for yourselves. If you wait on Washington
you will never get anywhere. lived in Wash
ington for eight years, and ! know"
1t is to be hoped that those who are now so
short-sighted as to demand government owner
ship of the vast projects on the Colorado river
will take heed of this good advice. If there is
anything done by the government in the way of
building the great dams, it will be some ten
years from now, and these same people should
also realize that under government control, that
much more of value has been taken from the
wealth of Arizona in taxable property. Do not
forget, either, that Coconino county is not the on
ly loser the whole state is loser of that much tax
able wealth. In the division of this power and
wealth, the state with the biggest political pull
and the most votes, usually controls the situa-
ton and gets the lions share of the benefit.

BURDENED WITH LAWS

DIR. Nicholas Murray Butler told the lawyers
of the middle west that the country was suffer
ing from excessive legislation. But the lawyers
are not worrying about that. It is their business
to both make and break legislation. They are
prepared to play both ends against the middle.
If we have too much legislation the idea of the
attorney would be to pass more legislation for
bidding it. 1t got to the people long ago that
the ship of state was overfreighted with wild
and weird laws and enactments, but the realiza-
ton doesn't seem to do any good. The people
themselves will turn out and vote for new set
of lawmakers pledged to inaugurate different
set of measures to regulate the universe and the
habits of the dwellers therein. If it isn't one
blooming thing, it is another. - Los Angeles,

HENRY WRONG AGAIN

Henry Ford speaks of the 'long discredited
doctrine of protection" But protection is all
right provided he is the beneficiary. He had
the protection of patent laws during the period
of development of his huge automobile manufac-
turing business. Quite likely he has no need of
such protection now, for his quantity production
is such that he can produce at less cost than
anyone else. Many an American industry has
been established under protective law and
brought to such stage of success that it can
supply the home market and export surplus
the exported surplus representing profit to the
wealth of the nation. II

BOULDER DAM AND THE GOVERNMENT

Last Monday at San Diego secretary Of the in
terror Fall said it was his opinion that the gov
eminent should construct the Boulder Canyon
Dam, maintain and control it in perpetuity. His
statement was supplemented by one issued by
Arthur P. Davis, director of the United States
reclamation service, In which he said: II believe
there is good fighting chance to get congress
to give the necessary funds for construction of
the dam" ~ 8 ssn ssya1 srsE
r From the viewpoint Of the owner of the land
the water from the reservoir would irrigate, it
certainly is desirable to have the government
construct the dam, for, judging by projects al
ready completed, those who benefit by the dams
rarely pay back to the government the money
put into them, No one can object to a dam in
: the Colorado built and controlled by the federal
government, but the question as to when con-
gress could be induced to set aside the neces-
sary money at once arises. 1t has taken the
government twenty years to build the three
great southwestern projects, the Roosevelt, the
Elephant Butte and the Yuma !. It probably
would be twenty years more before the Colorado
dam could become reality. -.r1v
Then, there is the San Carlos project lying
wholly within Arizona, and which, due to the
long agitation in its behalf, ought to be built
before there is any work on a dam in the Colo
i RADIO river. The fact that certain southern Cali
fornia cities are anxious to- get the advantage
of the cheap power the Boulder dam would sup
Z ply should not be the means of disappointing
those in the Casa Grande valley who SO long and
patiently have awaited for moisture from the
eplenteous ella river. 2 q aa1,n
Unless congress changes its attitude the pres
ent generation will not see dam in the Colora-
do river If congress will not do the work. it
should be arranged so private capital will be per-
mitted to carry it to completion, if enough pri-
waite capital can be procured
With the nations population increasing so rap
idly, more land is needed and it is needed now.
When the Edison company's men were in Pres
colt they said the Marble Canyon dam could be
made to serve arid land in the lower river valley.
If this is true and the truth can be ascertained,
there is no reason to hinder this agency in it's
program. The government should not act as a
dog in the manger. The company would be regu-
lated so all possible benefits from the dam could
be obtained by the people of the great southwest.

IN UNCLE SANS LEFT POCKET

Every citizen who reads the report of secre-
tary of the interior Fall should be imbued with
new pride of country. The undeveloped natural
resources on the public domain are of fabulous
value. If they are to be leased to private opera
tors on royalty basis they would bring return
to the federal treasury of over $4,000, 900 900.
Capital values given to the properties on the ba-
sis of the royalties would give value of pub
icily owned resources of about hundred and
fifty billion dollars.

Sullivan, It is evident. originated the
trudgeon crawl, therefore, IT IL an
American stroke and was brought into
prominence by Ameican swimmers.
The arm motion is the same as that
used in the crawl. The arms work al
) ternately, as a windmill. Enter the
water with elbows slightly bent then
propel, by bringing the arms down and
back with a a steady motion, the OPP
posite arm recovering at the same
time.
The kick known as the six-beat kick,
one,two, three and four count, are CIV

scissor kick, and five and six count
are given for the wide scissors. On
the wide scissors you draw the legs UP
under the body, spread them out for
a wide sweep then quickly snap them
together. A novice should use care in
learning the scissors kick that he does
not allow the legs 10 pass when being
snapped together.
The breathing for the t~rudgeon
crawl Is the same as used in the crawl.
In fact, ali breathing In water should
be done by inhaling with a quick gasp,
