Plan For Pageant
Here In 1929
Approved

The Board of Directors Of the
Arizona Pageantry Association
has advised Secretary Bristol Of
the Chamber of Commerce that
his idea for "a progressive pageant
to be held in 1929 has been en-
Enthusiastically approved.
Since 1924, Secretary Bristol
has been dreaming of putting in
to pageantry the wonderful his
torlc episodes that occurred in
tbs region. When it was learn
ed that the Native Sons of the
Golden West, California, had
placed a bronze tablet marking
San Carlos Pass, Riverside Coun-
ty, through which came the first
American overland expedition to
cross the mountains into Califor-
ma the idea was evolved that a
pageant starting from
the Tumscacori Mission at
Tubac in Santa Cruz County and
advancing by stages to San Fran
cisco, approximatelv over the
route taken by the Spanish Cap
tain would be wonderful propo-
S ton. large enough in it's scope
to attract national attention. The
plan provides for the main cast,
professionals preferred, moving
on from point to point enacting
in each place a local pageant,
financed and staged by the local
people and winding up in a big
affair in San Fraccisco.
The pageant in Santa Cruz
County and the travels of Cap
ain ANA would be based on the
ollowing facts:

MICHIGAN, CIVILIZED STATE.
IR. MELLON HOUSEKEEPING.
The IDEAL CHILD.
nERE-REAL NEWS.
By Arthur Brisbane

The State of Michigan is still try
ing to reach decision on capital pun
ishment. Certain legislators appear
to think that to discourage murder
the State must initiate the murder
and inAict death.
1t is proposed to restore capital
punishment in Michigan, where 1t
has long been unknown.
Michigan is a civilized State, an
example to others in many ways. II
IS to be hoped the Legislature will
not decide that civilization in Mich
igan needs the help of hangman.
or a man to throw the switch on an
electric chair.
