IN MEMORY OF WASHINGTON.

The following speech was de-
livered by Congressman Carl
Hayden of Arizona at the dedi
cation of Arizona's stone in the
Washington monument, April
Is, 1924:
| Mr.. CHAIRMAN AND Mr.. PRESI
| DENT:-
AS a member of the Society of
the Sons of the American Revo
luton, am proud to speak un
der the auspices of the Daughters
of the American Revolution on
occasion when another stone is
added to this monument to the
greatest hero of the Revolution.
AS one born in Arizona it is my
happy privilege to be here when
my state presents this tablet as
a tribute to the memory of
George Washington. Though
Arizona was the last to enter the
Union the people of no State ex.
ceed ours in the reverence they
bear his name nor in loyalty to
the ideals for which he fought.
Today we bring to this shrine
one of Arizona's most ancient
treasures whose polished surface
discloses how it was formed.
Ages ago a magnificent forest
was submerged in Arizona. The
great trees sank beneath the
water but by miracle of nature
their form has been perpetuated.
The rough bark, the sapwood,
and the rings to the very heart
can all be seen. When this tree
became petrified the Tower of
Babel had not been built and
Egypt was without her Pyra
mids. The change that took
place produced a stone worthy
of a place in this massive and
majestic monument.
The soil of the State from
which this stone was taken be
came American by conquest and
by purchase. The blood and
treasure of the American people
paid the price which gave them
dominion over it. They acquir
ed land rich in natural re.
sources, of pine clad mountains,
of vast mineral deposits, of
grass and browse for the herds
man, of desert valleys to become
gardens under irrigation, of
matchless scenery, of pure air
and sunshine over all of it. It
was the haunt of savage Indians
who for more than two centuries
had successfully defied the Span
iards and the Mexicans. The
Apaches were subdued and the
way opened to settlement by
people from every State in the
Union. The pioneers brought
with them the seeds of constitu
tional government and we re
joice that the planting has grown
into a commonwealth which is
true to the American type and
credit to the Nation.
Arizona is new as State but
many of her people are decend
ed from those who fought for
freedom, who suffered with
Washington at Valley Forge and
who took part with him in the
final victory at Yorktown. We
have not lost our zeal for the in.
stitutions which his valor and
wisdom made possible. We love
liberty and are ready to defend
it whenever the occasion shall
arise. The history and tradi.
tions of the War for Indepen
dence are ours equally with all
other Americans.
With modest pride we assert
our right, based upon the true
faith and allegiance which we
bear TO the Nation of which we
are a part, to do as the people of
other States have done and ce.
ment stone from Arizona into
the Washington Monument as
symbol of unity and of our com.
mon devotion to the memory of
the Father Of his Country.

HOME FOLKS WILL
RALLY TO COOLIDGE
Popular Vote in New England
May Exceed Big Totals
.s Given Harding.
By Consolidated Press.


BOSTON, October 31.-New England
as q whole will give Calvin Coolidge
a remarkable majority. The entire
electoral vote will be Republican and
the popuar totals may even exceed
those which were given Harding in
1920.
Pride in the first New England resi-
dent to occupy the presidency in gen.
erations, confidence in the man who
as Governor of Massachusetts won
his spurs as Il conservative of con-
servatives, and the disintegration of
the Democratic ranks plus the in
vasions OF La Toilette summarize the
causes of the prospective Coolidge
victory.
Little interest is being taken in the
national campaign-so ones sided is
the contest. Hardly any newspapers
are fighting Coolidge. Most of them
are supporting him. The nearest ap-
proach to fight is in the senatorial
and congressional campaigns. In
Massachusetts, for instance, Senator
David l. Walsh, Democrat, who is
seeking Reelection, is being submerged
by the Coolidge tide
Confident for GilIctt.
Speaker Gillett, who has the whole
hearted backing of President Cool
idge, Will, in all probabil ty, be car
ried along on the Coolidge strength,
so that the Democrats will lose a seat
they have had in the United States
Senate. Virtually no effort is being
made for Giliett in the state, a cir
circumstance which in the last few
days has begun to alarm not a few
Republicans who think in their over
confidence they may be treated to a
surprise.
Were it not for the presidential
campaign, Gillett would have Il hard
time defeating Walsh, but the truth
is the latter is weaker than he was
six years ago. At that time he was
one of the few men carried to victory
by President Wilson's appeal for a
Democratic Congress. Walsh prom
isad to uphold Woodrow Wilson's

hands at the peace conference. Blu
| when the treaty of Versailles finally
was presented, Walsh became one o
the bitterest foes of the League
Nations out of Difference to his larg,
lrish-American constituency. Now
however. he has lost the support o.
many of the other Democrats ano
large numbers of independents. Tt
be elected as Democrat to th'
United States Senate in a Republican
State like Massachusetts one must
have not only the undivided Demo
cratic vote, but most of the inde-
pendents. Walsh will lose many OF
his supporters this time, including a
good many who were alienated by
his vote in favor of the soldier bonus
child Lnbor's Eject.
Some of these Conservatives who
might have been driven from Walsh
on the bonus issue might, it would
seem, be won back by his unwilling
ness to come out in favor OF the
child labor amendment. Cardinal
OConnellS utterance against it and
the reversal of Mayor James NJ Cur
ley, Democratic nominee for governor
who originally favored it, make
things awkward for Il senatorial
nominee who endeavorS to stand on
the State platform which favored the
adoption of the amendment.
In Rhode Island and Connecticut as
well as Massachusetts there is much
discussion of the child labor amend
ment and though many manufactur-
ing interests are opposed to it while
the Republican national platform and
President Coolidge favor it, the writer
heard of few votes that would be
lost to the Republicans on this ac-
count. Usually the opponents of the
child labor amendment are Republi-
cans and their reasons for wanting
to support Calvin Coolidge outweigh
their objections. In other sections OF
Evening star., 1924-10-31

he country his correspondent heard
title reference to the child labor
amendment. but it is live issue in
New England: at least, there is be-
ginning to be a crystallization OF
sentiment among the manufacturers
which will be heard from as the battle
sor and against ratification begins.
Democrats May Gain in House.
New England's industries, partic-
ularly textiles, have not been get
ting along any too we'll and it would
have been natural to expect a large
protest vote. Unemployment is by
no means negligible and while Pres
ident Coolidge may not suffer from
the protest vote because he has such
an overwhelming lead there are some
congressional districts in New Eng
land where the Democrats have bet
ter than an even chance to increase
.,uinbei Oh seats they have in the
House OF Representatives.. The La
Toilette vote, which will diminish the
Democratic strength on the presi-
Dental ticket, will probably be cast

for moro Democrats in New England
than Republican candidates for Con-
gress. so that at best number of
districts are in the doubtful column.
For instance. in Speaker Gillett's
own district there is a chance of a
Democrat winning out. though all
Republican nominees are counting
heavily on the Coolidge landslide to
pull them through. The whole fight
in New England, the platform, the
issue. the record Is all wrapped up
in the personality of one man-Cal-
vim Coolidge-whose first year in
office has enhanced his prestig with
his own people.

] \ THANKSGIVING STORY

There were once two children, boy and a girl. The girls name was Ruth and her brothers name was Jack.
 They went to school every day. The little boy was in the first grade and his little sister was in the second grade. Thanksgiving was coming and they wished they could have q turkey like the other children. The little boy said to his sister, Tt would be nice if we could have large pumpkin pie.' While they were talking. the teacher overhea rd them and she said to herself, II will surprise them. She knew they were very poor.
 The next day was Thanksgiving, so she invited the children and their par ents to her home to have dinner with her. The children had as. much turkey and pie as they wanted.

 "Yes. like Spain or France best, I think.
 Hollands my favorite," exclaimed Dick
 Why" asked Jack.
 "Nei. I will tell you, if you really want to know. Holland is one of the smallest of the European nations. It has many pcoIe i'll it for its size. As you know. much of Holland has been claim ed from the sea. Therefore it is very low. flat country. The project of re- claimin. q great part of the Zuyder Zee is- under way at present"
 "Whew.." whistled Alien. That's some project. isn't it? The Zuyder Zee contains about 1865 square miles of Water,
 ''YeS. that just shows how willing the people are to work. They are very thrifty. also. They never waste any thing and there are very few poor peo- pie in Holland"

Every part of the ships gre secured every morning and everything is spick and span. All of Holland i> quaint and at every turn you discover something new.'

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING

Every one knows the story of the small band of Pilgrims who formed America. It all came about Iwhen the king of Egland ordered all people to worship at his church. The Pilgrims did not want to do this, and tried to hold secret meetings. However, the kings spies we're always on hand. At last the Pilgrims could stand it no longer and decided to go to Holland.
 Some weeks later at the home. of Governor Bradford in Holland. the Pill grims were holding a prayermeeting. Governor Bradford's little daughter went to the window and stood there si- lently for few minutes. Then she ran to her father, crying. "The spies are coming. The spies are coming!'
 When they heard this. they hid in a secret passage built for this purpose. When the spies came in they searched the house. but could not find the Iil- grims.
 A few days later Dorothy Bradford came in very solemnly. 'Oh, she cried. "what will become of us? Ger trude Lester has married a Dutch boy and all our children are talking like the Dutch!"
 Miles Standish rose and said, My good people, why not leave at once? My ship. the Mayflower, will he at your service and I, too. if you will allow me-
 They were pleased and started mak- ing preparations to leave at once on the MayfIower with Miles Standish as their leader. In 1920 they landed at Plymouth The Indians at once made friends with them and showed them how to plant corn. They had hard winter and half of them died. But the fearless ones kept together and the! wanted to thank God for what He had done for them. So they set aside day and invited the Indians to help them celebrate Since that first Thanksgiv- ing Day. we also have kept it as day of thanks to honor the little band, who formed America.

PILGRIM FAMILY AT PLYMOUTH

Elizabeth was a little Pilgrim girl. She lived in log cabin with her mother, q calm, persevering woman. who was happy and cheerful in spite of the hardships of pioneer life in Plymouth.
 It was cold November morning when my story begins. Elizabeth was in the little kitchen helping her mother. when her father came in with trou- bled look on his face.
 "What is the matter. John:' said Mrs. Graham, looking up from her work
 II fear there is much trouble on hand for us," he said. II shall have to go away and leave you and our little daughter here alone, while I go to help my friends and countrymen drive the Indians back from the next settlement.
 Turning to his little daughter, he said, "Obey your mother. while l am gone. Our neighbor, Mir. Brown, will go too, and leave his son.
 , "Oh, Papa." cried little Elizabeth. twhen will you be back: And will the Indians be around here: Do tell me
 Calm yourself, my child. Your father does not know when he will be back and we can only hope that the Indians will not come here," said Mrs. Graham.
 A few minutes of silent thought fol- lowed. Then MT. Graham broke the silence; saying, Now l must start. l will get the Brown boy to stay with you and Elizabeth while am gone."
 After he left. many a day of trouble and sorrow was spent and many an hour of th0ughtfulness on the safety of the two merl~who had been gone nearly a yeay. At last came day when the sun broke through the clouds, day full of happiness for mother and daughter when the men came back. The Indians were no longer hostile. That was day long to be remembered. It was day of Thanksgiving. ALTA MABARY.

ATHENS

Athens is the capital of Greece It was founded 1850 E. C. by an Egyptian colony. It is situated on the inside of a peninsula at the base of hill. It rose very high after it was founded. Later it fell into the hands of the Turks, who nearly ruined the whole city.
 In the seventh and eighth centuries Athens was in war with Persia and was destroyed again. Now it has many modern things, but the ruins of the won derfui old buildings are still there. The most beautiful, thing in Athens is the Acropolis on hill of Athens.

THE PURITAN FAMILY

In the days when the Puritans lived in England. they wished to change the way of the church but King James drove many of their ministers out of the church. There was one family the King disliked more than the others.
 The people of the family were John. May Bell and Jim. Their father and mother had been killed by the King and he was trying to kill the three chil dren, too.
 The Puritans started for the new world, to get religious freedom. So the three children went too.
 They travelled for two weeks and on the third week they saw land. 4 few men got into small boat and went to land. They got out of the boat on Plymouth Rock.
 Governor Bradford asked the pcu- pie if they would like to set day of thanks and have great feast TIr people gladly wanted to do what lie governor said. So the bnflters went into the woods and killesi wild deer and turkey, while the fishermen caught fish.
 John and Jim killed several dee. and turkeys and caught more fish iian any other person. there. May Bell cook ed good cakes and pes. The feast last ed for three days. Every year the; had q feast because they were thank cuI for their many Blessings.
