The Five Points Star,
Tempe, Arizona.
Dear Sir:
Much has been said in press and
pulpit, and written in books and pa
pers to the effect that the human
race is disintegrating, and that it will
not be long until the social world
will be going the way of Rome and
Greece, and still older world-famed
civilization. These opinions are
based on a vast mass of records and
statistics relating to institutions for
insane, moral perverts, degenerates,
physical diseases as shown by war
draft records and the startling growth
of divorces, crimes and murders that
invaded our land today, 80
Whether this mass of records may
be considered Of degeneration or nor,
the fact remains that there certainly
is a wonderful if not Woeful waste
Of human material in the world, and
the wonder is that it is so great in
this country that boasts of higher
civilization, moral and religious en-
lightment people. r.. a.-..,~
We hear and read so much about
the great efforts that are being made
to save the ignorant and benighted
people in foreign lands, and SO little
comparatively that is being done to
save souls of the poorly educated,
badly trained and ill used here at our
homeland communities
OF the thousands of boys and girls
whose home life is morally and soci-
|ally as far unsanitary for the welfare
of our civilization, what percentage
do you imagine will be saved under
present methods? If these boys and
girls are not raised to higher social
and moral levels, what can we expect
Of the future generation? They are
the mothers and fathers of tomorrow.
The nation was originally founded
Christian home, the home of the
frontiersman, the home where the
Bible was read, where God was wor-
shipped, where the only school exist
ed. 1t was a spiritual home environ
ment, and its influence has made
this nation what it is.
But the situation has greatly
changed in our land today. The
Question of the hour is how are chill
1dfen living in morally unsanitary
homes, breathing bad surroundings
sin-laden atmosphere, lacking in re-
striction and direction, to be trans
planted into more healthful environ
ments and taught to be better boys
and girls?
The church people and the better
class of our land have a far greater
problem to solve that confronts them
today than they can imagine and we
should all realize that "this world is
just what we make it,
This reminds us of a country
school teacher recently asking her
class what constitutes a college?
After waiting a while for an answer,
several replied: "a football team
1t seems our late presidents have
hit the right keynote when they
said: 'The church and religious peo-
pie have great duty to perform at
the present day."
1t isn't the mere question of alb
stract religion that confronts the
church, nor of mere routine schooling
by educators, nor the duty of organ
lied society as represented by the
home, but how these great forces may
be applied to produce the best possi-
BILE results to plant our coming gen.
Grafton on higher level.

House of Representatives. of the Uni
ted States of America in Congress as
sembled, That Title L of the Tariff
Act of 1922 is amended by adding
after paragraph $50 the following new
paragraph:
PAR, 38O-a. Copper ore of all
kinds, copper concentrates, regulus,
MATES, cement copper and black or
coarse copper, cents per pound on
the copper contained therein; old cop

other form not specially provided for,
6 cents per pound; all alloys or com
binations of copper not specially pro
vided for, 6 cents per pound on the

ally recovered: Provided further, That

have demanded and received sympa-
thetic consideration in the form of
tariff protection from the congress
of the United States.
Owing. partly ITO peculiar conditions
of dual ownership in both domestic
and South American copper mines
which exist within the industry, Am
erican copper has not been given pro-
lection by Congress against eompeti-
ton from the latter source. While
the American market has been flood
ed with metal from the mines of South
America, produced with extremely
low priced labor, the copper industry
in this; country has languished. Am
erican communities dependent upon
the copper mines for their economic
existence have been held back from
normal prosperity and development
Senator Cameron's bill to give to
the copper produced in America the
protection against foreign competition
to which it is justly entitled and
which it so sorely needs, is another
monument to his already splendid
record of achievements for the peo-
pie of his state and for the entire

Under Eyes Policemen

New York, YJuly 12.-(P)-Boot-
leggers have used Bellevue Hospital
dock at Goth Street and East River

quor, testimony in federal court re-
vealed today.

"whiskey trust at the trial of Dwyer
and nine others charged with viola
ton of prohibition laws.

ed on "A treasury boat" at $50 a

numerous trips from Rum Row to

IN YORK PETITION
TO BAN AUTO CAMPS

Portland, Me-, July 12-(P-Deci-
sion was reserved by Supreme Court
Justice Guy H. Sturgis after a hear
ingf today on the petition of the
York Harbor Village Corporation for
an injunction to restrain Fred NJ.
Libby and Edward K. WEIGH from
keeping open automobile camping
grounds within the limits of York
Harbor village.
Justice Sturgis decided to obtain
firsthand knowledge of the situation
afternoon in company with counsel
for the two sides.
The village corporation assessors
complained that the maintenance of
the ground was a violation of VIII
lage ordinance, passed in conformity
with a special zoning act adopted at
the last session of the Legislature,
that they were a nuisance and caused
adjoining property to depreciate in
value.
Libby and WEIGH, the defendants,
offered no testimony. Ralph w.
Hawkes.. their attorney, argued that
the court had no jurisdiction over the
matter and raised various objections
to legal technicalities in the COM
plaintants' bill of allegations. He
particularly attacked the constitu-
tionality of the ordinance restricting
campers as passed by the corpora
ton.

GOV. SMITH TO PAY
VISIT TO PRESIDENT
SOMETIME THIS WEEK

Paul Smiths, n. Y, July 12.-(P)-
Governor Smith of New York has
found 1t impossible to accept the in
vitation of President Coolidge to visit
him at White Pine Camp early this
week, and as result the invitation
was renewed tonight for Friday.
The invitation was extended by Mr..
Coolidge for the governor and Mrs.
Smith to have luncheon with him and
Mrs. Coolidge any day up to and In
although transmitted last Saturday
was not received by the governor. who
was out of Albany until today. Hasty
telephone calls resulted between the
secretaries of the two executives dur
ing which 1t was said that engage
sments OF bong standing would make 1t
difficult for the governor to accept on
the days specified, and the outcome
was renewed invitation for the lat
ter date.
Previously Governor Smith had let it
be known that he intended to make on
official call upon the present at the
summer White House to pay his re-
spects and extend a formal welcome to
the state. AT the time it was indicated
that July 16 might be the date select
ed but Mr.. Coolidge originally pre-
ferred slightly earlier date. One re-
suit is to make certain later depart
ure Of the president for his boyhood
home in Plymouth, VT, the general
view here, in the absence of formal
announcement. having been that he
probably planned to leave Thursday.
Departure on Saturday now appears
the earliest moment Mr.. Coolidge can
leave for that visit, which may keep
him away from White Pine Camp for
five days.
Negotiations on the visit of the New
York governor during a day devoted
almost exclusively by Mr.. Coolidge to
fishing. Evidencing keen euthusi-
asm for the sport which he had for
saken since boyhood, he went in the
morning to Lake Osgood, upon which
the summer White House is located,
and pulled out a fine six-pound pike,
measuring 20 inches from tip to tip.
Then in the afternoon he went II
miles from the Camp to the preserve
of the late William Rockefeller now
owned by Colonel Benjamin D. Meal
pin of New York, John Mcdonald of
Utica, and others, and hauled out five
brook trout averaging half a pound
each in the course of three hours on
Fondsby Junior Pond.
