FIFTEEN MEMBERS OF
HALEY FAMILY HAVE
BEEN GRADUATED HERE

Back in 1889 when it was decided in
the Missouri Legislature that an institu.
ton Cor higher learning should be estab.
lished somewhere in the state, there was
much rivalry between several counties,
particularly in Galloway, Howard and
Boone, to secure sufficient funds by sub
scription Of the citizens of those respec.
tive counties to secure the University for
that locality.
The national government at the time
Of the Louisiana Purchase had desig.
mated certain sections Of land that should
be sold at auction. the funds to go
toward starting university in the new
country, but the lands were sold at such
a low figure that the return they yielded
was small, and further funds were need.
ed before a university could be started.
Though there was little wealth in
Boone County at that time and the
country was still undeveloped, the resi-.
dents Of the district united in concen.
trated effort to bring the University
here. Every person with any means, how.
ever small, gave something, with the re-
suit that this county subscribed a total
of $4,000, several thousand more than
the other counties were able to contrib.
ute, and thus the school was located here
in Columbia.
A letter received from DR.. Charles
Robert Lee Haley, Jr., who was grad
uafed this month from Johns Hopkins
Medical School, mentions the fact thai
fifteen members Of his family have been
students in Missouri University, and that
his great-great-grandmother. Mary Will
cox, was one to subscribe $500 and her
sons $500 more in 1889 to bring the
University TO Columbia. The first grad
uate in the family was in l845. Doctor
Haley himself attended the University
in 1918, receiving an A. B. degree

OF the two kinds Of self-made men,
neither can be classed as superior TO the
other. The practical self-made man gets
all Of his training through experience,
and, if he is really student, advances
to the top slowly but surely.
The theoretical self-made man gets his
preliminary training in the colleges and
universities. This enables him to ad
vance more rapidly when he gets on to
the job.

CARNEGIES PRINCIPLES

Carnegie said:i you. can take away my
factories and my plants. take away my
ships and my transportation, take away
my money-strip me Of all these, but
leave me my men, and in two or three
years, at the most, l will have them all

Carnegie had complete confidence in
the persons who worked for him because
he had picked them carefully and had
treated them properly.
He knew that his business was made
by these picked men plus his own direct.

equal importance to the other. To be

Thus it is with childhood. Thus it is
with maturity. Most persons have their

ride through life, and because it is their
bicycle the world must forbear, toler-
ate, and approve.
Many people think they are en-
titled to special privileges simply because
they are what they are. Women ask
clerks in dry goods stores to pull down
bolt after bolt of material. And, upon
being asked to purchase. they reply, in
a bored fashion, "Oh. no. | don't care
to buy. I'm just waiting for Mrs. Jones.

Yuma county. A deep "V'' shaped
estuary had been dug into the Arizona
bank of the river in an alleged at
tempt to throw the current of the
stream into an old slough which runs
along the east side of the Cibola val
ley. Nine large holes had been blast
ed in the slough along the proposed
water course. This work was stopped
by Mr.. Galbraith before it pro-
gressed far enough to cut off por-
ton of the Cibola valley and throw
it over to the California side of the
river.
This work, Mr.. Galbraith declares,
was traced to the officers of the COM
bined levee districts on the California
side, who are said to have admitted
they had been trying to straighten
the river to protect their lands and
levees. Had this work been carried
out, the attorney general says, the
breaking of the levee near Ripley
several weeks ago would not have oc-
Cured. Settlers in the Cibola valley,
he added, predicted early in May,
while he was in the valley, that this
levee would be washed out, and a
week later it was.
According to information received
in a letter from one of the settlers in
the valley to Mr.. Galbraith recently,
the dynamiting operations at the
head of the Cibola valley We're re-
newed by five men, but were stopped
when this settler and others came up
as a blast was about to be set off.
These men, the settler reported, had
touched off one blast, but hurried into
their boats and rowed to the Califor-
MIA side when he and his neighbors
approached them. The river is now
pouring through the cut they made,
according to the settler.
Settlers of the Cibola valley are
much concerned with the alleged
operations to change the natural
course of the river and fear unless
help is given them that the valley,
consisting of about 10000 acres of
very fertile land, will be seriously
damaged. The valley, which is locat-
ed directly west of Phoenix is thinly
populated and is almost entirely iso-
lated from the outside world because
of. its peculiar location. A high table
land bench wall forms the eastern
boundary of the valley and the roads
are very rough. The valley is reached
with difficulty, even on horseback.
IF we don't wash away this year,
one of the settlers writes Mr. Gal
sbraith, Eve will be an inland empire
when the big dam is placed in the
Colorado river at Boulder canyon.

SPEAKER To DEFEND.
RIGHTS OF ARIZONA
To COLORADO RIVER

For the purpose of combating ths
Vaccinations of other states in the
Colorado rive" basin to rob Arizona
of her rights to the great rivers de-
yelopment, A. G. McGregor, member
of the Arizona Resources board and
an authority on power dam projects,
will speak at an open meeting TO be
held at the Phoenix chamber of conf
merce at O'Clock tonight. Every cit
izen of Fhoen x and residents of the
Salt River valley who are interest
ed in hearing Mr. McGregor's adj
dress on the Colorado river develop
ment problem are urged to be pres
ent.
Mr.. McGregor is prepared to give
a very enlightening talk on the prof.
ect and has maps and figures which
he will use to illustrate his discourse.
He was enthusiastically received at
Douglas last Tuesday evening, when
he spoke there to more than 100 cit
izens, holding them spellbound with
interest with his convincing argu-
ments.
In his address at Douglas, which
he will sui eantially repeat in Phoe-
nix tonight, Mr.. McGregor explained
the recommendations of Director Da-
Wis and made Arizonas position and
its danger OF lOSlnS natural TlSHlS,
plain. He expressed himself as anx-
ious to see work on the project start
ed Immediately. He also flayed the
Swing Ill, introduced by California,
which would. n his opinion, menace
state rights by Matchmaking the prof.
ect
Mr.. McGregor declares himself to
be in favor of constructing the first
power dam a Lees Ferry, thereby
controlling the river for future con-
structior
Between Lees Ferry and Boulder
Canyon" he stated, there are a
number of sites for dams, which If
constructed would furnish 6,000,0 900
horsepower per year. One-tenth of
this amount would be sufficient for
AriZona's needs.
Eventually there will be developed
more than 100000 horsepower in the
canyon of the Colorado, and at the
extremely low price Of $10 per horse
power year, this amount of power
will be worth $50,000,000 annually.
But Arizona cannot be dog in a
manger" Mr.. McGregor stated, "and
| if we oppose the naturalization pro-
gram for the great water power re-
sources of this state we must work
out a constructive substitute pro-
gram"

Statements Are
Made to Public

The following statements have
been handed to The Republican,:
Phoenix, June 1, 1922.
To the Public:
/ have been mentioned recently as
belonging to an organization known
as the Ku Klux klan. / joined this
organization last September, at
tended two meetings and resigned.
My motives in joining were of the
best, as / believed the organization
stood for high ideals. When l found
my mistake | took the only course,
and resigned.
e. NJ. ALLEN.
To the Public:
/ became associated with the Ku
Klux Klan last August or September
when they first commenced their
drive for members. Their purpose,
as set forth in their literature and
obligation, no man could criticize.
No violence was ever mentioned at
the two meetings which 1 attended.
The main business of these meetings
seemed to be the getting of as many
members as possible at $40 each,
payable in advance.
The membership at that time was
only about one tenth of the 300 which
was required before the head office
at Atlanta would allow this organiZa-
tion to incorporate under the state
laws of Arizona. This was an arbi-
trary ruling by the head office, as
explained by the organizer.
No card was ever issued to me nor
have / ever paid any dues to this
organization other than the first $40.
I am opposed to radicalism of any
sort. / bear no man or set of men
the slightest malice or ill-will. and
it would humiliate me deeply if any
friends might think that I could in
"A single hour forget the habits and
teachings of a lifetime. the obliga-
ton to my wife and children. and
become a night prowler and other
wise disregard law and order.
This is the most regretted mistake
of my life but made it with no idea
of doing anyone the slightest wrong.

Provisions of
Financial Code
Are Explained

Instructions concerning the pro-
visions of the financial code, Senate
Bill No. 43. which becomes effective
July /, have been sent out by Charles
w. Fairfield state auditor, to all the
state departments and institutions.
The instructions are in the form of
a letter which will be mailed under
date of June l.
In compliance with the provisions
of the bill, Mr.. Fairfield states In the
letter, unencumbered balances OF
state appropriations, as of June 80,
1922, will be diverted to the general
fund ana will become unsegregated
portions of this fund Each depart
ment is asked to furnish the auditors
office with a list of all encumbrances
against their 1921-1922 appropriations
on or before June 80. If possible. the
auditor .ates. it is the desire of his
department not to carry an encuin-
bered balances into the new fiscal
year.
The financial code provides for the
distribut on of expenditures over
quarterly periods and this will be
rigidly enforced, Mr.. Fairfield de-
clares, and suggests that each de-
partment and institution should keep
themselves informed at all times or
the actual condition of their appro-
priation. For the purpose of accu-
racy in obtaining this information.
specially ruled and printed sheets, to-
gether with loose leaf binders and
instructions fer keeping the record,
will be furnished to each department
by the auditors office.
Forms of payrolls also will be sup
piled for the convenience of the de-
partments, Mr.. Fairfield says, and
should be pref ared to conform with
the amounts specified in the general
appropriation bill.
