FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1920
Oh, men, who are labeled "failures,"
rise up again ! and do !
Somewhere in the world of action is
room; there is room for you;
No failure was e'er recorded, in the
annals of truthful men,
Except of the craven-hearted who
fails, nor attempts again.
Alfred J. Waterhouse.
The Governorship
Thomas E. Campbell has again been chosen by the
Republicans of Arizona to head their state ticket as
candidate for governor. He has been twice elected
to that office, has served a total of three yea-rs, some
of them stormy ones, and has emerged with colors
flying and with a constructive record that entitles him
to the support of the clear-thinking, progressive men
and women of Arizona who place the welfare of their
state above partisan advantage.
Governor Campbell's task has not been an easy
one. Entering office with a fierce partisan feeling
against him by many of his associates in the state
government who lost no opportunity to embarrass him
or to undermine the constructive policies for which
he stood, he has determinedly and with admirable self
control blazed a trail for good government and a
greater and bettej Arizona. Under many trials he has
grown in those qualities which make strong men and
good executives courage, independence and sound
judgment.
Fortunately, Governor Campbell is a very human
person arid thus makes his mistakes, as do we all.
Some of these mistakes have been the result of bad
partisan counsel, and recently he has made it clear to
such councillors that to him the best interests of the
state and the sound businesslike administration oftate
affairs are far more important than partisan ad
vantage. He succeeded in the governorship a- man of good'
intentions, but who, through his ill-advised utterances,
did much to create class feeling and to stir up clas3
hatred within our state. In refreshing contrast, the
record of Governor Campbell has been one of deter
mined constructive effort to secure the cooperation of
all the people in the upbuilding cf the state on line3
of special privilege to none and equal opportunity to
all. As a result of this level-headed policy, Arizona
today has less industrial unrest than in many years,
has won the respect of the nation, and both capital
and labor are being steadily attracted to the state.
To the subject of reclamation, so vital to Arizona
and her people. Governor Campbell has given much
time and attention. As president of the League of
the Southwest, he is promoting a definite plan for the
further reclaiming of desert lands with such persist
ency and ability that definite results in national legis
lation seem reasonably sure.
As the chief executive of the state, both at home
and abroad. Governor Campbell at all times has been
a distinct credit to the state. His wholesome personal
life, his genuine democracy coupled with the becoming
dignity of a state executive has won for him the sup
port of thousands of citizens outside his own party
who feel that the good name of Arizona is safe in his
hands. ...
Like all energetic men, he has his enemies, but
that only attests to his forcefulness and his fighting
qualities attributes of every good leader. His devo
tion to the upbuilding of Arizona, his native state,
cannot be questioned, and with him at the helm of
the Ship of State for the next two years the continued
prosperity and development of Arizona is assured.
Air Mail Service
Air mail service in all parts of the country soon
will be an established fact. Two postoffice pilots, one
leaving New York for San Francisco and the other
departing from San Francisco for New York, are now
flying across the continent, foreruners of a generally
established service. These flights now being made
are not even considered to be experimental. They are
on a regular service, ordered to maintain a flying
schedule of about 54 hours and proceeding only in
the daytime.
It is a practical certainty that within a short time
there will be regular transcontinental air mail service,
interrupted only by weather conditions. That the
carrying of mail by airplane is a success is attested
in an announcement made by the postmaster general,
who stated that mail airplanes were saving money
for the government and that the postoffice depart
ment had found them an entire commercial success.
This was the verdict after the service had been estab
lished nearly two years. Little publicity has been
given to this innovation in mail carrying, but in a re
cent description of the success of the new service the
postmaster general said:
"The air mail has carried more than 25,000,t00
letters between Chicago, Cleveland, New York and
Washington at better than the speed of the Congres
sional or the Twentieth Century Limited and it has
to its credit a performance of 91 per cent working
day in and day out and up and down the seacoast."
Two cents an ounce for letters has been the cost
fixed some time ago for the air mail service, supple
menting the great railway transportation systems, the
postmaster general explains. Doubtless there are de
fects in the air mail service at present, but any person
in his mind s eye can see at no distant date airplanes
flying over every city and town in the country, .-a-rv-in
the postoffice mails. Especially on long routes v ill
they be used, possibly to the exclusion of the railway
mail service entirely.

United States cannot afford to be left behind by China.
The first requisite in the establishment of an air
mail service is adequate landing fields. If Fhoenix
and Arizona are to be ready to qualify for this new
service when the time comes, they must prepare by
securing the necessary fields, for the service is surely
coniing.
Today's Anniversary
One hundred a-nd thirty-three years ago today the
constitution of the United States was signed in con
vention and later ratified by a sufficient number of
states for it to go into operation two years later, in
1789. It is a remarkable document, this supreme law
of the na,tion, under which the country has been doing
business ever since. So well has it served during all
these years of wonderful progress and so completely
has it safeguarded the life, liberty, happiness .and pros
perity of the millions then in the United States and
who since have been added to the country's popula
tion tha-t it is easily believed that the makers of the
constitution were inspired to that talk. Through all
the years of wars and peace, of strife and content
ment, prosperity and adversity this remarkable doeu
ment has steered the course of the nation true a-nd
steady, a safeguard that has been its reliance in many
a crisis.
Today has been set aside by the government as a
day to commemorate the signing of the constitution
in 17S7. The Constitutional League of America has
planned to present an elaborate spectacle of this great
momentous and history-making event tody at Car
negie Hall in New York City. All the great men who
attended the constitutional convention Washington,
Franklin, Madison, Hamilton and the others will be
impersonated by the leading actors of the country.
The affair is to be made as true to life as it is pos
sible to make it and will be recorded in moving pic
tures. Later, these moving pictures of the signing of
the constitution will be exhibited all over the country.
Thus, we in Phoenix will be privileged to see a repro
duction of this spectacle, doubtless the most momen
tous in the history of America.
In thus humanizing history the Constitutional
league is doing an excellent thing. In showing the
great men of that day, not as statues, but
moving about as "men move about today, it will
impress upon the people the feeling that the
constitution is a human, rather than an infi
nite document; that it was conceived and written
by men wrestling with difficult problems as the coun
try's leaders do this day.
The commemoration of the signing of the con
stitution of the United States is an appropriate one.
Today the constitution celebrates its one hundred
thirty-fourth birthday. The little change made in the
original document attests how well it has served its
purpose. It is the anchor that often has prevented this
country from being dragged on the rocks. The safe
guard of the nation, it starts out today on another
one hundred and thirty-three years of useful life.
"DADDY, I'M SO LONELY"
By Dr. James I. Vance
It was not a little child, but a young wife, who
said it. It was the moan, of a broken heart, re
leased in the semi-delirium of an opiate that had'
deadened physical pain, but was not strong enough to
stupify a tortured spirit.
The train was on a night run between tw south
ern cities. Half an hour out, the young' woman
hose berth Was just across from mine began to
have convulsions. She had been found on the rear
Platform in a highly hysterical condition. . Fortun
ately there was an angel in the form of a trained
nurse on board, and she was tireless in her efforts
togive relief. We telegraphed ahead for" a doctor,
who came an hour later, but all that he could do was
to administer an opiate.
During the Intervals when she herself, snatches
of her story came out. Married three years before,
with a httle son waiting for her at the end of the
night s ride, with a husband who had grown tired of
his young wife and deserted her, it was the old story
of a lost Eden.
She had probably tried to end her life there on
the rear platform, but had not succeeded in getting
enough of the drug into her system to accomplish
her purpose.
- At three o'clock in the morning, the opiates
hushed the poor girl into a troubled sleep, but for
the three hours that followed, over and over again
that cry of a broken heart moaned itself out into
the car: "Daddy. I'm so lonely I Daddy, I'm so
lonely."
Literally hundreds of times she said it. Across
the car aisle, through the curtains, into my berth,
came this plaint of a stricken soul. I can never
forget that serenade of despair.
I began to wish that a man who had broken his
marriage vow might hear it. If it could reach him
would he care? How could he resist such a sob from
the bruised heart he had once sworn to cherish?
I began to wish that other men might hear a
young mother uncover the tragedy of a wrecked
home, as she thus reached out blind arms for the
father of her child.
How can a man play false to a woman when they
have taken this sacrament of life together?
Maybe there are men who would come back if
they could hear what I heard that night, moaning
its way out through the curtains of a Pullman If
you have deserted the girl you swore on God's altar
to love "till death shall part," that crv is coming
after you. It will hunt you down; it will tollow you
to the ends of the earth. It will not let you forget
It will meet you at God's bar at last; but there it
will change from a minor chord. It will become
jour accusation. As the judge listens. He will say:
"With what measure ye meet, it shall be measured to
you again."
"'TAINT MY COW"
By Dr. James I. Vance
Ones culture is measured by the range of hi3
interest.
They were loading cattle on a Mississippi steam
boat. Some negro roustabouts were doing the job.
They were a rough and jolly bunch of plantation
darkies. They were driving the poor beasts merci
lessly up the chute, twisting their tails, crowding them
over, under, and through, dragging them on their
sides, beating, punching and through all their mad
dening cruelty to the dumb cattle, chanting in unison
a song, the refrain of which was: "'Tain t my cow."
What difference did it make how they loaded the
beasts? What if a hcarn was torn off, or a leg broken,
or a poor beast trampled to death? " 'Taint my cow."
There was no money out of their pockets. They
were not cattle kings. They were just roustabouts.
. They would draw the same pay whether the freight
went throush alive or dead, and the pay was as wide
as their interest ranged.
'"Tain't my cow." They gave themselves away.
The brutes were not the cattle being loaded. They
were the cattle loading. If the cows could have talked
out their mind, what a damning arraignment of the
human beast they could have made.
But these Negroes are not alone. There are peo
ple who affect the highest culture, but whose stan
dard is crass selfishness. They not only treat cows
that way. They do not hesitate to treat their fel
lowmen that way. Their range of interest ends with
the radius of the ego. "'Tain't my cow."
They are not civilized. They drag into trade
and social life the creed of the jungle. Their manners
are faultless and their dress fashionable, but their
hearts have never been born strain.
The Golden Rule is the Fin qua non of a gentle
man. It rs the goal of true chivalry. People who
have real culture espouse the cause of the wpk.
They are not wanton. The skyline alone limits their
range of interest.
AND IT'S "HARD" COAL, TOO!

another meeting soon, when more com

SMCWS NEEDLE
Ml.SA, Sept. 16. "I I swallowed a
needle."
Such was the unpleasant experience
of little John Brown, 7-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Herman Brown, residing
lour miles north-ast of Mesa, and the
lad's ir-.sides will probably harbor the
needle for some time to come, for the
physicians have determined that it will
bo better to permit the instrument to
work its way out gradually than to per
form an operation to remove it
The little boy was nt play with the
voung" r members of his family Thurs
day afternoon at the ranch home and
in some way put the needle in his
mouth. Rcmonstratiricr with the lad for
his tactics of piay with the others, the
mother, unknowing of the needle's
presence, playfully shoved him along
with n iiio'im.
The lad gulped once or twice and
then in response .to his mother's query,
told of the mishap. At first the needle
lodged in the throat but a moment later
went on down and thus far the boy
has appeared none the worse off. He
was rushed to town Put physicians ad
vised against an operation and the
needle will be left to work its own way
buck into the world.

A. Although there are classical ref-
erences to such work, it is impossible
to say that such allusi'ons mean knit-
ting as it is known today. It is prob
able that these ancient writers regard
ed knitting as a type of weaving.
"Knit" in the specific sense in which it
i's known today, was mentioned in 'an
old gramamr published in 15.10 A. D.
This gives the verb "to knit." The
word is probably derived from the

to this narticular loon or its cr,nv. I
Q. What nationality would a per
son born in Scotland be, whose father
is Irish and mother Scottish? B. R.
A. The British embassy says that a
