OF religious significance, ii has come in
America to be a holiday of manifold activities. 1t
is the chiIdren's day. 1t is the family day 1t is
the day Of giving. 1t is the dar of Peace earth,
good will toward men" 1t is the day of good will,
of Jolity Of feasting. AS the old has it.
At Christmas play and make good cheer
For Christmas but a year
The thing about celebration of
Christmas these days is "a revival of the singing
of Christmas carols-or rather the beginning of it
in this country. 1t has been a feature of the Eng

Now Americans taking 1t up in earnest
The carol, what Child Is ThisT outlines in its
simple verses the whole story of the Christ begin
ming with the humble birth and concluding with
the tragedy of the crucfxion The harmony has
musical ntricaces and is especially well suited
to singing in the home.
Who has not loved little child, he knows

The wondered, brcathless waking through fir

The awe Of faith unhesitant in lifted childish
The spluttered, spicy. teasing joy kitchen
The sting of frost upon his face. the snow -creak

The swish runners, song of bells, the laughing

From drifted hIlltops sparkling white; the blue

So sings Martha Haskell Clark In Scribner's
Magazine And she Is right Of course, since
Christmas is in many respects pre-emnently
children's festival and Is certainly their Day of
Days That. why Clement Clarke Moore's poem

NATIONAL DEFENSE DAY
SHOULD GO OVER BIG

With strong state committee al
ready at work, and with the day Of
ficially designated by proclamation of
the governor, who is urging its en-
thusiastic observance, plans for Arizo-
mas participation in the National De-
fense test on September 12, are well
under way. Assurance of their sup
port of the plan have already been re-
ceived from the mayors of nearly
every city and town in Arizona, and
local committees report their plans for
the celebration are being rapidly de-
veloped.
Planned under the national defense
act of 1920, as a demonstration of the
processes necessary in order to assem-
BILE our forces for the national defense,
the test is desirable to enable the peo-
pie of each community to see exactly
the contribution they would be re-
quired to make in order to
bear their share of the COM
mon burden, were war to again be-
come necessary. In this respect the
occasion has been compared to great
national fire drill, held entirely for the
purpose of preventing loss of life and
property should any emergency arise
in the future.
1t is universally recognized that the
lack of adequate preparation for war
cost this country thousands of lives
and millions in money in 1917. Had
the present national defense act been
in effect and operative then, the
United States would not bave been
drawn into the World war. Only our
apparent indifference and helplessness
as rich and unprepared nation, it is
pointed out, provoked the attacks on
our neutrality that led us into the
conflict. The defense test on Septem
Der 12, it is expected, will serve to
promote peace through making clear
the new national policy of prepared
ness without the expense and burden
which large standing army would
involve.

CANYON TRAVEL SHOWS
AN INCREASE FOR JULY

Visitors from every state in the
union, District Of Columbia, Hawaii,
Canada and Mexico and eighteen other
foreign nations combined to make the
total Of 1924 people who viewed the
wonders Of Grand Canyon national
park during July, according to fug-
ures just compiled by the superinten-
dent.
For the first time since the foot and
mouth disease quarantine went into
effect on the Arizona California boun-
dary the months travel showed an i'm
crease over the figures for the cores
ponding period last year. Quarantine
restrictions were not lifted until late
nthe month, and probably had but
little effect on July travel. However,
with no restrictions on tourist move
ment, it is expected that August will
greatly exceed all previous records for
The Coconino sun., 1924-08-15

travel to Grand Canyon during this
month.
The fact that nearly every person of
the 1927 came with the sole idea OF
viewing the canyon, should be over
whelming proof of the fact that it is
the worlds greatest scenic spectacle,
as practically every other national
park has several different attractions
for the expectant visitor Visitors to
the canyon are beginning to realize
that they are in the heart of the his
toric southwest and on all sides of the
canyon are practically unexplored
regions of great scenic beauty. This,
combined with ideal summer tempera-
lures explains why more and more,
visitors to the park return for visits
Of longer duration.
Detailed analysis of travel shows
that 8,723 people arrived by train.
1921 by privately owned autos and 40
by miscellaneous means of travel. The
total of 1894 is 416 in excess of last
years figures of 16,578. The season
travel to date is 1927 compared to
76,54S last year.

NEW PARTY OF u. S.
ENGINEERS TO MAP RIVER

Another expedition of government
Grand Canyon of the Colorado river
for the purpose of surveying dam
sites, it was announced by E. c. La
Rue, head of the Pasadena branch of
the United States geological survey
and who will have charge of the trip.
The party of engineers, six in num-
Der, will follow the same perilous
route through the canyon as was ne
gotiated year ago, during which
time the lives of the party were en-
dangered many times due to the rising
flood waters which swept down the
canyon.
Three of the four dam sites will be
surveyed, LaRue announced. Of the
six engineers to comprise the party
one will come from Washington, and
all will actively participate in the
work
Several weeks will be devoted to the
trip which will be 200 miles in length.
Although the exact date on which the
party will start has not been set, La
Rue stated he believed the first of
September would be the logical. time
for the start. The same river boats
which carried the panty down the
river year ago will be engaged.
This will be the last trip to the
Colorado river necessary to complete
the dam site information for the gov
eminent, LaRue stated. He also places
great Importance on the discovery of
new locations.

has occupied several public offices,
serving in 1922 as superior judge in
Pima county and as a member of the
assembly in the last territorial and
first state legislatures. His degree
in law was received from Leland
Stanford university.
Senator Cameron was in northern
Arizona lately. At Flagstaff, his old
home, he was active in opposition to
the sale of the Bright Angel trail TO
the United States by the county of
Coconino. He is understood to have
been called back to Washington by
urgent business.

MERCY OR CRUELTY

The state board of pardons and
paroles has acted in the matter of
the application of William E. Acker
who was sentenced to be hanged at
five o'clock last Friday morning at
the state penitentiary for the alleged
murder of Iver Enge some two years
ago.
As an exhibition of refined cruelty,
it would be hard to parallel this pro-
cedure--it does not matter whether
Acker is guilty or not. The board al
lowed this application for reprieve to
hang fire until a few hours before the
man was to be hanged. He could sit
in his cell in the death-house at
Florence and hear the preparations
for his execution going on. A minis
ter was in attendance to prepare him
for the final expiation of his alleged
crime-and then the governor, act
board, granted reprieve of a
month. Medieval torturers never de-
vised so agonizing procedure as
this. If the man was to be reprieved,
why not do it weeks-days at least
before the date set for the hanging
Why torture the poor devil in this
way?
1t is fair example Of the manner
in which the business of the state is
conducted until the voters have an
opportunity to express themselves in
the November election.-Jerome

HOW BIG BUSINESS Is
DONE BY COOPERATION

Eighteen thousand people met and
did business on June IA, when the
Water Users association and 1nspira-
tion Consolidated Copper company
signed a contract.
The hotels were not crowded. in
fact, there is no hotel at Inspiration,
nor were the roads jammed with fliv-
vers. There was no dust or excite
(nent, nevertheless, all those people
met and pledged their credit and good
will to a cooperative plan involving
many millions of dollars.
From all over the United States the
12,70O persons who own the Inspira-
ton mine kept on their daily tasks
but through their cooperative organ
zation they signed that contract by
one man delegated and elected to rep
resent them.
Across the table sat 5000 farmers
in one chair, cooperative organiza-
ton equipped with brains, credit and
complete knowledge of the facts in
volved, meeting cooperative business
on it's own plane. The farmers worked
all that day in their own fields and
through organization elected as in CO.
operative business-one man signed
the contract.
Eighteen thousand seven hundred
people have joined in a cooperative
task for what? Simply this to Gre
ate new weaith-not only for the 49,
900 but for many thousands more,
who will benefit in the creation of
wealth which did not exist before.
Six million dollars for developing a
new mine, four and half million dol
lars for the dam and power equip
ment, a thousand men employed-is
this a dream? 1t is coming true
ten and half million cold cash ex-
pended which will produce in our life
time one hundred million dollars worth
of new business.
How was this great task made pos
sible-how could six thousand farmers
put it over? Only in one way-co-
operative organization. Without such
an organization no such development
would be- possible.
After such a practical demonstra-
tion how can there be single land
owner in this great valley who would
be backward or in any way doubt
the great value of farm or
ganization. If cooperative business
can be met fully on power contracts
why not meet business on its own
plan, with the products of the soil.
Organized business did not dictate the
terms of a power contract; farmers
made the contract. Organized COM
modify organizations can do the same
thing.

Arizona Industrial Congress).
