HENTSCH

German militarists have new
goat. They're blaming Colonel
Hentsch, member of their general
staff in 1914, for ordering the re-
treat that lost the Battle of ths
Marine and shortcircuited what
might have been a speedy winning
of the war.
What really lost Germany the
war was the fallacy of the thing she
fought for. In a titanic human up
heaval like the World War. Pro,i-
dence has hand in the result and
permits no error in the decision.
Militarism, rather than Germany,
lost the war. Time will prove this.
Militarism seems very much alive
now, but it's like a chicken after
its head is chopped off.

SPIRITUAL

The growth of materialism has Gar
outdistanced the mental and spin
tual development of man, warns
Sir Max Muspratt, the celebrated
scientist. But he is right.
Nearly all Of what we consider ay
economic ana social problems are
really spiritual problems. No SOU
ton, as long as we deal with ma
terial effects instead of spiritual
causes.

What Is Opportunity

Opportunity is occasionally
blown in by the winds, but not
often. Usually opportunity has
to be CREATED. In other
words, success generally is up to
the Individual himself rather
than his surroundings.
1t is the fellow whose eyes
are open, mind receptive and
possessing ambition and energy
who first sees opportunity and
embraces it.
The lazy, satisfied individual
never sees or hears. He con-
soles himself by saying Luck
never comes my way"
A rag-picker named Harry
Game works in shoddy mill
at Springfield, VT. AS he was
sorting the endless stream of
rags he found a woman peck
etbook. 1t was old and dirty
and torn. Harry gave it
glance and threw it on the floor.
Another fellow saw it fall. He
picked it up, went through it
carefully, even explored inside
the lining-and found $44.
Aesop would have taken this
story and made it into a fable
with this moral: Good oppor-
tunities are thrown away daily
by people who do not recog-
nize them.
What is opportunity? Most
of us consider it just another
name for good luck. The aver
age persons idea of opportunity
is something that comes unex-
pectedly to the fortunate and
fairly shouts: Here am. Didn't
expect me, did you? Big mon
ey-ail ready for you to pluck.
like ripe fruit"
There are, to be true, many
opportunities of this sort. Lega-
cies, for instance. and the oc-
casional lucky strike" by gold
and oil prospectors. But for
each big success of this kind,
there are thousands of failures.

Mention of it Immediately calls
to mind men who found yellow
nuggets and became millionaires
overnight. We forget the thou
sands who found very little

ing gold.
For every opportunity that
grows on trees, that comes un.
expectedly like a windfall, there
are hundreds of opportunitie,
that are made.
Opportunity exists in every.
thing. Few see it. You have
for instance, known cases where
a new manager took a rundown
business and built it up to a tire

self than in his own ability

Fifteen ad 20 years ago, on the
New York Stock Exchange, specula-
ton centered in railroad securities
Roughly, two shares of railr)a
stocks were sold for every industrial
share that changed hands.
Speculation has shifted to indus
trial securities. In the first eight
months of 1924, four industria.
stocks were bought and sold fol
every railroad stock traded. "
Quite a revolution in gambling -

a CALL TO THE INDEPENDENT
VOTERS OF ARIZONA

The political conventions have met.
The result Of their deliberations are
known to all. A vote for either can
didate of the two dominant organiza-
tions is only further perpetuatiOn of
the long-drawn-out game of "Tweedle
Dee and Tweedle Dunn" in so far as
the best interests of the rank and
file of the American people are con-
cerned.
OF all the conventions, that of the
Cleveland Progressive Convention was
epoch-making in American history. 1t
was a decided expression of the Am
erican people that they intend to re-
turn to the form of government their
forefathers left them wherein their
National rights were guaranteed un-
der the Constitution of the United
States, and they possessed certain
state rights which have been prac-
tically eliminated at this time.
La Toilette and Wheeler are by far
the strongest ticket now before the
people, This Independent ticket is
progressive and all American in char
acter. 1t is the desire that the In
dependent vote of Arizona may not
be found "asleep at the switch" and
to prevent this an invitation is here
by extended to every Independent
voter of Arizona without regard to
sex, race or creed to be present at
the House Chamber at the State Cap
itol Building at eight o'clock next
Tuesday evening, July 80, 1924, for
the purpose of further organization
of this independent campaign in Ari-
ZOna.
