Bronze Tablet For A Great Governor

BRONZE TABLET FOR A GREAT GOVERNOR -
4 step in the right direction was taken at Phoenix
"A this week when friends Of the late Gov. B. B.
Moeur began raising funds to place bronze tablet in
Arizonas chief executive
The first contributor was Bob Jones Arizona's
present governor, and like Moeur, who will 60
down in history as of the states best governors.
There is similarity in the careers Of Moeur and
Jones' in that the nomination of each by great plur
atty came as big surprise to majority Of Demo-
cratic leaders who didn't think either would win.
We recall that when Moeur came to Nogales on his
first campaign tour none Of the local leaders reished
the idea of being going, about town with man
whom they thought had no chance and it was tough
job finding someone to introduce him that evening at

Maybe Arizona Has Found The
Man To Stop Garner

TWO three political novices headed by Kirby Vid-
rne of Phoenix, got together recently in the capital
city and "organized' Garner for President Club.
This little coterie of politicians, long on ambition
to annex themselves individually and severally to
the public payroll, but short political experience,
adopted slogan for their organizations Bring
Business Back With Cactus jack And what is more
they rushed out to the secretary of states office to
have their slogan copyrighted apparently afraid that
some cuss would steal their brain child.
Jack Garner has many friends in Arizona, which
is natural considering that large percentage Of the
citizens of this state hail from Texas.
These real friends and boosters of Mr.. Garner are
very much disturbed and exceedingly panied the
childish efforts of Mr. Vidrne and his little crowd to
attract attention They point out that the last thing
in this world that the asute vice-president would
wish would be slogan that would even infer that
business has departed died gone vacation dur
ing Democratic administrations AN administration
in which Mr.. Garner has been No. z man. And too,
they point out, most New Deal laws could not have
been enacted without the active support Of Garner,
formerly speaker of the house and president of
the senate, and whose influence with both branches
of Congress is perhaps greater than that of Mr.
Roosevelt.
Should Mr. Garner admit that business has gone
to the bow vows by adopting Bring Business Back
With Cactus jack for campaign slogan, the presi-
Dental nomination would be of value to him.
if he got it.
Fool the people into believing that business has
been killed by the Roosevelt Garner administration
ana one may De sure they won't try 10 Drlng 1t DacK
with Cactus Jack They will try "do it with Dewey,
'"Tackle it with Taft, "Boom Business with Brcker,"
or Build Business with Bridges" In other words
they will vote the Republican party back in power.
However, the American people know that the
tiona annual income Of all the people in the United
States has been raised from SO billion dollars 1892
the last year of Mr.. Hoover to more than 60 billions
in 1888 1t will not be easy to convince the average
voter, therefore, that business has been killed by
Democratic administration.
One of Mr. Gamers Texas friends in conversation
with the writer the other day became positively
eloquent not to say poetical in his denuncaon Of the
Vidrine boner. He spouted thusly:
"Kirby Vidrine and all his pack should be muz-
zled for the sake of Cactus Jack"

Miles, L. Paul Ewell, vestrymen, of
the Church; and Francis d. Young.
Mr.. and Mrs. McMaster were among
Pocomoke's eldest and most esteemed
citizens. They had lived long enough
together to celebrate the 5Oth anniver-
sary of their wedding, and Mrs. Nc
Masters death followed his in less
than a year.
Mr.. McMaster's public life is so well
known as to need no recital here. AS
a legislator, a county official, and as
an educator in both state and county,
he rendered signal service; and, as
bank president, he closed his labors,
being president of the Pocomoke City
National Bank, when he died.
Mrs. McMaster spent part of her
life as teacher. Active in mind and
body, she was real help mate to her
husband She was interested in
Church and social work. Her home,
on the Pocomoke, so long as she was
physically able to maintain it, was at
tractive in it's beauty and location, and
she and her genial husband constituted
dispensers of the old time hospitality.
After their removal from the farm
the old McMaster homestead-they
both were strong supporters of Church
work, and both were valuable addi-
tions to the social life of this city.
No two people had more friends,
and these most sincerely bemoan the
death of two such substantial people.
They had life far beyond the allotted
time of life; they had reached the age
when death, while dreaded, is an ex-
pected visitor. They had lived noble
lives, and, no doubt, they are reaping
the reward of their mental, moral, and
physical rectitude.
But, Death, as Foster says, sis
not, to the Christian what it has Of
ten been called: Paying the debt of
nature No, it is not paying a debt;
it is rather like bringing a note to a
bank to obtain solid gold in exchange
for it. You bring cumberous body
which is nothing worth, and which you
could not wish to retain long; you lay
it down, and receive for it, from the
eternal treasures, liberty, victory,
knowledge, and rapture"
