All Over the Country

It's a big country, the United
States. No map is big enough to
show all of the tens of thousands
of cities and towns and tiny Will
ages that exist in every part OF
IL. But even a casual glance at
any map of the whole nation or OF
any single state or section in IL
will reveal one surprising thing.
That's the number of towns and
cities in America that have been
named after some industry. Names
like Steelton and Valley Forge and
Tannerville dot American maps by
the hundreds.
These names offer quiet but
convincing testimony to the i'm
portance of industry to the general
scheme of things in this country.
The communities in question were
named after industries, and an
other large group of communities
have been named after men who
founded in those towns.
And there Is outstanding evid-
ence that industry has had a lot to
do with building up the community
and through that, the national
life of this nation!

Wilkes War Record
Appeals To Veterans

Five of the six Republican NOM
inees for President following the
Civil War and up to the present
century were war veterans: Grant,
Hayes. Garfield, Harrison and Nc
Kinley. Now it is more than like
ly that the men of service in the
World War art going to play an
important part in the affairs Of
America for quite a number of
years. They have reached the age
and know just what it means to
make sacrifices for their country.
Wendell Willkie, just starting to
build up a private law practice,
closed up books and enlisted as
private in "a hours of the first call
for troops in April, 1917. He gained
his promotions, up to the point of
captain, on the field of battle.
There is going to be more appeal
in this war record to the thous-
ands of boys who served in the
ranks than the average citizen, or
the most expert politician, can
visualize today.
The World War veterans are at
bat for the first time in the Ma
tional Political League.-Detroit

Governor Jones Will
Speak at Small Mines
3rd Annual JamboreeI

Governor r. T. Bob" Jones
has accepted an invitation to
speak at the Third Annual jam
boree and Funniest of the Arizona
Small Mine Operators Association
to be held in Globe August %, 90
and "a. His audience will include
hundreds of miners and small
mine operators who will come
here for an affair that promises to
be one of the outstanding mining
events in the history of the state.
Jones address will be listened to
with particular interest inasmuch
as the Arizona Department OF
Mineral Resources, which has con-
centrated it's activities toward i'm
proving conditions faced by the
small mine operators, was created
during his regime. "One of the
key policies of my administration,
Jones recently decalerd, "is to en-
courage the investment of new
capital in Arizona to develop our
vast potential resources, establish
new industries, and provide jobs
for the unemployed.
"The most constructive step in.
this direction has been the es-
tablishment of the Department OF
Mineral Resources which already
has to it's credit the development
and improvement of a number or
small mines. These properties
have added thousands of dollars OF
taxable wealth to the state.
Arrangements for the Jamboree
are being made by f. r. Scoop
Kielgass, chairman of the Miami
Council of the A.S.M.O.A., and
Loyde c. Edmonson, chairman OF
the Globe Council. The latter Is
also a member of the Board or
Governors of the Department or

Coxon Urges
Boulder Line

William Coxon, Pipal county
senator advocates that the state
use 100000 it expects to receive
in Boulder Dam power revenue to
begin construction of new
power line from the project to
bring needed electrical energy to
Arizona.
He said he had telegraphed
Governor Jones, calling his atten-
ton to "a gravely acute shortage
of electric power in Arizona dis
tricts where an estimated thous-
ands of acres are threatened with
destruction, and suggesting that
a line be constructed to bring ad-
ditional Boulder Dam Power to
this state. The Parker Dam power
line is inadequate to supply need
ed power, he asserted.
Power curtaiIment
Further complicating what he
termed "a very grave situation" )"
the power supplied farmers in the
Casa Grande valley by the Salt
River Valley Water Users Associ-
alton will be curtailed August Z,
he asserted.
The Water Users Association
has been aware of the power short
age situation for two years, Sen.
ator Coxon declared, and farmers
blame it for not anticipating their
needs.
He foresaw the loss of $4,000, 600
to $10,0O0,000 worth of property in
the Casa Grande valley as a re-
suit of the power shortage.
Opposes "Diversion"
"This may be accomplished by
Boulder Dam conveying adequate
construction of power line from
power for agricultural, industria
and municipal requirements in Ari
ZOna.
"It is wrong and unpardonable
to divert the money to the genera
fund for the participation oi
political spendthrifts or to en-
courage them in overspendine
their budget allowances. Let u:
use this money to assure th'
stability of Arizona agriculture ant
industry"

Bolts Begin To Strike

Bolts of prominent Democratic
leaders against the third term can
didacy of President Roosevelt be-
gan to be announced Immediately
after Roosevelts denomination BY
the Chicago convention.
From Senator Edward R. Burke,
Democrat of Nebraska, went a
telegram to Wendtll L. Willkie,
Republican nominee. at Colorado
Springs, Colorado. advising him
that Senator Burke would work
for your victory at the pools in
November"
The telegram continued:
"Thus only may we make GER
tain that never again will any
party Or any individual be tempt
ed to try to overturn the wise
precedent established by Washing
ton, strengthen by Jefferson, Mad
ison. Monroe and Jackson and
cherished by all Americans who
prize their freedom"
He continued:
"a host of citizens nurtured in
the Democratic faith will support
this stand against the third term
for any President"
Senator Burke then quoted
Presidents Buchanan, Jackson and
Grover Cleveland as opposed to a
third term and concluded:
81 disclaim the leadership OF
those in my party who but a few
years ago put themselves on rec
ord that any departure from the
two-term tradition would be UT
wise, unpatriotic and fraught with
peril to our free institutions, and
who today take the very action
they then denounced. A fitting re
buke to their apostasy will be ad
ministered by an aroused people.
Representative Harry B. Coffee
Democrat of Nebraska, was QUICK
to join Senator Burke in also de
claring he would not support
President Roosevelt for a thirC
term. He said:
GAS a Jeffersonian Democrat
consistently adhering to the prin
ciples upon which that party was
built, I cannot conscientiously sup
port any President for thirc
term. If our constitutional de
mocracy is to survive we mus
have more patriotism and les:
machine politics."

doing. He suggested inter-city
meetings with other Rotary Clubs
and then stressed the fact that II
one could he should attend the
large clubs such as Phoenix and
Tucson. Mr.. Kieth said that
some Rotarians were designated to
respective places to fill every club
He then spoke of the individual

! ing c. ]. Moody announced that
every Thursday would be Rotary
! Day for the boys and girls of the

The Low Down From
Hickory Grove

You know, this idea of doing
something about getting prepared
for war is o. K. But the idea of
just doing something, and having
only a hazy idea about how it is
gonna turn out, is a horse Of a
different color.
And you take these battleships
costing around 80 million each,
which we think we gotta have.
they will maybe not be what We
want. or 4 years from now, when
they are finished. We need some
thing now as much as 4 years
sence.
For 80 million we could build %
or 30 welter-weight boats. And 25
or 80 such spitfires circling one
battleship, would make things
pretty lively for the big boat. The
25 million dollars Graf Spec of the
Germans, she didn't last long
against 3 small Britishers, down
there off South America.
We been rushing around, voting
money hap-hazard, and halfway
beside ourself. The only thing
Congress asks is, how much-and
the bigger the amount, the quicker
the vote. Maybe this old, common
sense Hoosier boy, Willkie, will
kinda get 'em quieted, down ana
back on terra firma, there in OLD
Potomac Town.

Pillars Of
Americanism

The best ism in Americanism.
The best way to sell that idea Is
to point out the advantages of this
ism. Menthology recently carried
a statement under the caption
"Pippars of Americanism' which
makes for appreciation OF the ad-
vantages We claim. Here 'tis:
ST h e principles underlying
Americanism are as unchanging as
those upon which Christianity is
based-as good today as when
first decalared. AS we understand
the term, these are some of the
fundamental pillars of American
ism. and in these parilous times
every American should have en-
craven in his heart and axioms
that give reality to the immortal
word-Freedom.
81. The conviction that the
Liberty of the Individual is basic
to any worthwhile social order.
80 That progress in our coun-
try has come through individual
iniative based on the right of each
person to acquire and hold pro-
perty-free from interference.
"3. That the rights of the in
dividual must not be invaded by
the government or by any division
or by any agent of the govern
ment.
"a. That the Constitution Of
the United States is the soundest
instrument yet devised to preserve
and fortify the rights of the in
dividual citizen.
SO. That the first duty of the
Government is to preserve Law
and Order.
Sc. That its second duty is to
Keep Luc uOOIS VI OppOl tuuiIy
open for every citizen-to protect
him from any forces which may
attempt to limit or deprive him Of
his rights and opportunities.
az. That it is the further duty
of the government to preserve a
free economy and the orderly
working out of natural economic
laws as best designed to promote
human progress-to resist any at
temps of politicians, labor, capital,
or any other group, to bind these
natural forces to a selfish group
advantage.
So. To be ever alert to detect.
and promote to combat forces, no
matter how attractively garbed,
which would destroy the Liberty
of the people and make them
servile creatures of super state
SO. That the measure of per-
sonal worth in our Country is
character, and that those who set
up classes and inflame those
classes against each other are
enemies of the peace and progress
of the Commonwealth.
40. To obey the laws of the
Country, to support our institu-
tions and to Honor our Flag. In
times of war with our lives if need
be - in times of peace with the
honest discharge of the duties OF
citizenship, particularly at the
Ballot Boxes

Library Readers Turn to
Philosophy for Relief

When the printed page, the radio
and the motion picture today be-
wilder a person with their presenta-
ton of the rapid change in the
European scene, leaving a general
feeling that nothing is stable or safe,
1t is surprising to discover that many
readers are finding release from ten
sion by reading philosophy. The
Central Public Library at Eighth
and K streets NV, and its branches,
can testify to this current interest
and suggests certain titles that
might have been overlooked.
The United States is justly proud
Of John Dewey who recently cele-
brated his 80th birthday. This was
the occasion for publication of sew
eral books about him and his philos-
ophy. In the PHILOSOPHY of John
Dewey" edited by Paul Arthur
Schlipp, II great thinkers scrutinize
his writings, and Mr.. Dewey is able
to justify his findings related to the
problems of life.
Written particularly to honor his
birthday, other well-known scholars
contributed essays on his work which
have been gathered together in a
volume entitled 1.-THE Philosopher of
the Common Man" 1t is an inter-
probation of his thought for the lay
man. In the same book is a thought
provoking essay written by Dewey
called Creative Democracy: The
Task Before U.s." An excellent COM
prehensive selection from his works

is contained in Intelligence in the
Modern World"
In 1916 another American philos-
opher, George Santayana, after 20
years of study, made an analysis Of
Germanic philosophy and called it
"Egotism in German Philosophy
This recently has been republished,
and the observations contained
therein are as timely as they were
when they were first presented.
For those are interested in English
philosophy, the work done by Edwin
A. Burt in editing The English
Philosophers from Bacon to Milf
will be appreciated. He calls this
age of Hobbies. Locke, Hume and
others, the golden age, and feels
that these representative thinkers
are "the prophets and creators of
the goth century world"
To develop the idea that modern
European thought is influenced by
the thinking done by Hindu and
Mohammedan philosophers, Paul
Brunton has written Indian Phi
losophy and Modern Culture"
Ancient Indian texts are compared
with those of modern writer's with
amazing clearness.
Jacques Maritain, the eminent
French philosopher, recently has
had published a volume entitled "a
Preface to Metaphysics. This is
probably section of larger book
on the same subject to appear some
time in the future.

Run of the Stars
By Dora Aydelotte. NeD YorI

Appleton-Century.
Miss Aydelotte again presents a
romantic novel Of the pioneer men
and women who fearlessly fought
their way westward to new frontiers.
The scene of her story is the do
main OF Dinwiddie," in Northwestern
Texas. Her plot covers period Of
seven years, beginning in 1889 with
the arrival in Dinwiddie OF the
principal character, Sela Burchard,
and Sela's steadfast courage in the
face of trouble, disaster and con-
flicting emotions makes her love
story different from the usual boy
meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-wins-
girl type Of novel.
The struggle of two men, Lew
Grace, a ruthless yet nkeable cattle
man, and Clint Aragon, a quiet,
courageous farmer, for the possess
sion of land and the love of Sela is
a good background.
Farmer Aragon's motherleSs s.
month-old son Bud plays an i'm
portant part in the wooing Of Sela,
who falls Immediately in love with
the little fellow. A hayward brother,
gun law with resultant quick death,
an old Indian fighter and a rough
pioneer woman, who tries to forget
swearing to become a true "lady,"
add zest to an already interesting
book. CHARLES G. SHINN.

These Men | Knew
BIZ Rositd Forbes. NeD York.
E. p. Dutton Co.

E. p. Dutton Co.
The only thing remarkable about
this work Is that one woman should
have gotten around the divinity
which hedges "a kings. Or, if not
"a kings, then "a assorted dictators,
presidents, regents, economic royal
lists, emperors, soldiers, marshals,
admirals and so on through the cat
alogue of titles. Mrs. Forbes did this.
She personally visited, apparently
on terms of delightful friendship,
the following: Hitler, Goering,
Goebbels, Stain, Voroshilov, Horthy,
King Boriss King George of Greece,
the late King Alexander, the late
Zaharoff, the late Ataturk and his
successor, Ismet Ineunu; the Shah,
King Feisal; King Leopold, Queen
Wilhelmina, President Roosevelt,
Henry Ford, Mussolini, Zog, Emperor
Halle Selassie, Gen. SHUTS and Ma
hatma Gandhi.
1t must have been quite a job
to make and keep all those appoint
ments-clearly 1t must. That, no
doubt, is why Mrs. Forbes has felt
it unnecessary to write more than
the most banal superficialities about
her truly astonishing hosts.
