ROOSEVELT'S $
 BIRTHDAY TO
 BE OBSERVED

Honoring the memory of Theodore Roosevelt is the purpose of an execu- tive proclamation issued yesterday by Governor Campbell, calling on the people to observe October 27 as the 64th anniversary of the great Aneri- cans birth.
 The proclamation says:
 "The name of Theodore Roosevelt has rightfully been given high place in the list of great Americans, and appreciation of his greatness is not limited to this nation but is worldwide in scope. The purity of his life, his devotion to America, his high ideals, his moral as we'll as physical courage, and the service which he whole-heart- edly rendered to his fellow men, both as citizen and a soldier, all combine to make the study of his life an in spiration. It is most fitting, therefore, although no statutory provision has as yet been made for observance of his birthday, that the occasion be rec ognized in an appropriate manner.
 "So long as Arizona shall endure, the memory of Theodore Roosevelt will continue to be gratefully cherished in the hearts of its people. Because of his effective influence at a critical time, we have that greatest of all reclama- ton projects which bears his name as lasting monument, not only to his executive ability, but as typical of him whose name it bears-a fountain of good to the people and direct benefactor to thousands of homes. It is doubly appropriate that this great monument should be located within a state for whose people Theo- dore Roosevelt had peculiar affec- ton, as the home of many who fol- lowed him on Cuban battiefields.
 "The fact that among the states men of his generation Theodore Roosevelt was the greatest protagon- ist of a sound naval policy makes it eminently fitting that his birthday should have been chosen for the celebration of Navy Day. The occa- sion is one used to emphasize the service of the half million young Americans who served in the navy during the world war, and the close that exists between the nations prosperity and the navy. In this connection it is not inappropriate to consider the fact that one-third of the price of a pound of copper comes from foreign demand. The 6O0,000,- 900 pounds of copper, more or less, which go to foreign consumption, must be transported in ships. They should be transported in American ships. Up to the present time at least, the universal experience of the nation has been that sea-borne com merce is not safe unless protected by an adequate navy. Thus it appears that the seaman on the battleship Arizona" is the guardian of the prosperity of the miner of Arizona.
 Now, therefore, I, Thomas E. governor of the state of do hereby request that Fri day, the 27th day of October, 1922, which will be the sixty-fourth an 1iversary of the birth of Theodore be observed by special ex- .rcises throughout the state, and I do urge and recommend that he day be observed in the schools, both public and private, as an occa- sion on which the life and achieve nents of this great American may be reviewed and the principles for which | le lived expounded.
 And I do further request that in observance of the day attention and emphasis be given to the celebration ,f the service which the navy renders o the nation; to it's glorious past md its importance as factor in our ,ationai safety and Drosoerity."
