What does it mean? Let "us try to see. Tor years we have been hearing of the -western movement of civilization, culture and education.

We have seen this in the growing populations of the western states, in the high ratings of western educational institutions and gradually we have come to realize that culture, a new vital, recharged, individual culture, is growing up in the west. There have been writers, and artists who have migrated 'from the effete east to this rough and rugged west arriving with their, noses bit in the air, defiantly sniffing at our tmconventionalisms. They have been charmed, electrified with what they found, stayed to absorb this fresh newness of the this in By RODNEY DUTCHER ABHIKOTON, March SS von- ticians are Interested In poll- Hr a. nd tlie'MOlfle generally seem willing to let them take care of it. The fact that politicians are thus left in charge or the national wi-fnre means that Tio vital problems are to be disposed of unless lur organised groups persuade tne politicians that it Is politically aan-gerous to dodge them.

also means that no man may te nominated and elected president merely because he Is the popular choice. All this has been especially demonstrated in years divisable by four and Its truth is again evident In 1928. Congress, apparently afraid to do anything in the face of election, doesn't. And those who once believed that the pri mary system would result In popular rule must confess again tliat the primaries generally can be controlled by politicians, despite some notable exceptions which may justify their existence. Take first the pro-convention Republican campaign.

It is the best example of the prostitution of the primary because the Dcmot crats are more accustomed to factional discord and because their leading candidates are in some instances fighting one another for the same delegates. The outstanding Republican candidates are not to be found fighting each other for primary delegates in one of tho 17 states which' hare tlie presidential primary. 'T'HB largest primary state is Pennsylvania, with 000 inhabitants and a mob of 79 delegates. Not w. single candidate for nomination filed his petition before the closing date, and Ross Vare and the Rosses Mellon are sending an uninstructed delegation to Kansas City.

The bosses will decide for the great mass of Republicans in this great Republican state just whom they want to be president, They 'told LUK1CVA. jfll Days in Old Pueblo dividual western background of history, customs and peoples. And when they have gone forth to the world these same writers and artists have found their works tinctured with the vivid west. Turn now to the east. What do we find? Ingrown conventions and customs, a stiffling commercialism and congestion of papulations, a worn-out, fatigued culture which is more the result of European graftings-on than of healthy from the mother trunk.

And as often happens when luxurious flowers are grafted on commoner- stems, the blossoms have reverted, lost their lustrous beauty and are more common in their hybrid selves than the original fair and simpler flower. But in the west we are free. Space and nature's beauty makes little the narrow stiltedness of the east and artists must find a new tube of paint for our scenes, a new manner for our people and the writer needs stronger words, but simpler forms to put us on paper. And now the west is ready to take her place as a new culture center by common consent of the nation. But in order to hold that place, in order to stimulate her own growth from within she must have what Tucson has found necessary and provided buildings, art centers, groups working toward the time when the east will turn to the west to set her pace in all the arts.

In the Saturday Morning Musical club there is the working group, in the Temple of Music and Art there is the place, pie permanent home for this expression. Now in this offer of a "responsible party," who does not live in Tucson, we of Tucson are privileged to- have the working capital to develop ourselves and our children. Detached views are often helpful, and this may shed light on what the Temple and its art center means. In a barren dining- room in middle Texas a couple from blorida met couple from Iowa, the first motoring westward, the second returning from Tucson to an Iowa home. The Iowa couple remarked "If you go to Arizona stop in TucJ-son and be sure to go to the Temple of Music on Sunday afternoons.

Free concerts and art exhibits. Don't miss them." And the Florida couple came on to Tucson and went to the Temple and remarked the words of the Iowans to a newspaper reporter.

MvHiW LATE Happy i I 1877 Year, Delivered Anywhere MARCH 23, 1928 to Endowment should remain, it must extend Republican. to a lourum By ARTHUR DEAN, Sc, D.

I Positively Decline fttfrfoLYED: It's butter ta be ft good student and pour ilU-tvn than to be poor tuudent and a flood citizen. A very nice girl student asks tua furnish some arguments or lev! which will help her win this do-bate. It Is hr first debute. Natur-ally she wantH to win. But I can-not help her for two reasons.

First. This column cannot sup port debates when they become merely a Kit me and when they pro mote Insincerity among student engage In them. More of tlU later. Second. I would no more think of arguing that It was better to bo good student and a bum citizen than I would attempt to prove that the moon is a firefly's tall light.

Publie schools are supported out of public runds in order that the youth of our land may be educated towardn true citizenship. While tho state and the community holds iho kindest of feelings towards youth as Individuals worthy in-U'Ueotual power and would do all that is within reason und the public purse to provide education for Individual boys and girls, young men and young women, it holds that the primary purpose of a public educational program Is to fit youth to serve tho state and the community lis good citizens. More than once this has been decided In tho courts. It is not a matter of personal opinion. Any school kid or collegiate who struts around a school house or state university thinking that the state owes him an education Ij mightily mistaken.

The state has never intended to give an education to a pupil or student for his or her own sake. It provides free education that the state Itself may be preserved by training citizenry worthy of -this vast expenditure of public funds. Nothing would be more dangerous to a state than the educating of a lot of smart aleeks with no of the duties of citizenship. Mind-Bedevilmen Caused by Debates Now back to the first point: Professor Mangun in The Educational Review states, and rightly: "To vast numbers of young people tii make 'the better case' out of either side of an issue is an ideal preparation for just tho kind of sophism of which we already have a. i overplus.

"Society always has too many people who give themselves sufficient practice to become all too skilled in arguing plausibly and earnestly in a rationalizing and wishful-thinking manner rather than in support of conclusions reached without bias by straight thinking. This weakness seems to be a natural one and is a dangerous enough tool without being given a better edge by formal education." The debate manuals urge that the debater "must always seem to be sincere." But in order to seem sincere you must actually so. There arc plenty of flebatable sub jects in which there is no question of the sincerity of the debaters. Imagine Lincoln debating "Slavery is Best for America," or Senators Bofal), Heflin, Capper or Robinson arguing againsf their convictions. Money raised by public taxation ts not to be spent training insincere thinkers who argue against good citizenship.

I propose that high school students read this article in The Edu-cational Review and debate: "Resolved that Arthur Dean is all wrong In his contention." I welcome the comeback. OUR CONVERSATION CORNER Changing Horses I am a bookkeeper at present but have aVways had the idea I woul'J like the wireless operator's work. It seems to me wireless is going to Da one of the big things in the near future. Can you give me any information regarding this line ot work? Is now a good time to got In on the ground tloor? YOU NO MAN. Cannot soe the ground floor.

It looka to me as though you would be entering at least the third story. Cannot see any advantage in wireless operating over bookkeeping, except that the former may offer many advantages. If you change residence to a larger place where there are more vocational opportunists and where there are evening and university extension courses helping you to advance in your business pursuit, I think you will be far wiser than to enroll In a correspondence eourse In wireless. Master of Boy or Rings I am a boy of fourteen in the ninth grade. I am interested in to different subjects, scouting and boxing.

John Sullivan held the heavyweight boxing cbnmnlonshln Iniuvr I than any other fighter from 1882 to 1S. You see, it was not Tucson's climate, her university, her iTUlls primary certainly tos no warm friend among politicians, but Its nearest approach to a champion is Hoover In Indiana and Ohio. It Is interesting to noto that his opponents, Senators Willis and Watson, are regarded as talking horses for Dawes, who Is, violently against the direct primary.

But Hoover only entered those states after it proved impossible to make political deals. He -knew that In such dealt lay his best chance. Now he is out to get what ho can and to break up the anti-Hoover game of stopping him with favorite son delegates known to oppose him. In both states, with certain exceptions, in Ohio, Hoover has merely permitted his name to he used by political "outs" anxious to beat political "ins." They needed the prestige to be borrowed from Hoover's name; Hoover needed their Influence, teach, rides pn the 'oattalls -of tho. other.

But Hoover is the only candidate to declare himself I' doubtful territory and only the primary gave him a. ehance in Ohio and Indiana. As a' of good-politics, Xowden refused to divide the anti-Hoover vote by opposing him in Illinois. Hoover ought to get more than twice as many primary delegates as Lowrien. Voices have ben raised in the past for a national direct primary system, but politicians have opposed that apd the voters have yet to organize any shirt-tall parades in his favor.

I understand that every effort has been made to get this monster out of action, overtures have been made to the officials in charge, who have promfsed to adjust the disturbance within two or three weeks so that it will no longer be heard. Instead of taking steps toward an adjustment, the pounding has, gone on, not for weeks, but for months, increasing In volume dally, until life in Uiis city Is unbearable. Tucson has made a gallant 'fight for 'progress, advertising its sunshine ali over the fnited States, and it Is succeeding in a fair measure. Health-seekiug people flock here, depending on the promise Tucson makes to restore to them their very lives, all making some sacrifice to transplant themselves in a new home, some leaving their families behind, others giving up flourishing businesses.

Is that sacrifice worth while when the most health-giving element, quiet, restful sleep is robbed from them by the continual pounding of that engine? What right has any private individual or corporation to thrive on the comfort and health of nn entire population? Sunshine by-day and rest by night are the, principal means to the restoration and maintenance of good health, together, not one without the other.

THIRTY YEARS AGO Governor McCord has appointed a commission of delegates to the Omaha exposition who will be charged with the duty of making good showing for the -territory in the matter of exhibits. The commission is composed of representative citizens. Pima county Vfl! be represented by Hon. Charles R.

Theoe gentlemen represent the Important interests of the county and Mr. Drake in also the delegate for tha territory at large. The ringing of ircbells last night was not on account ot fire. A small child about three years old was lost and the bells were runs to summon persons for a search. The little one -waa found at the comer of Meyer and McCormlck streets.

i Only one fifth of the time now spent in teaching the three i R's is necessary if progressive methods of teaching, already! understood here, were used generally, declares an instructor at an educational, meeting in New York. "Such methods, if instituted would release time in which the pupils could indulge in the study of social sciences and creative art." To which another educator declared that he favored learning the possibilities of the child rather than merely teaching him. The older generation have been taught, and they believe, that a thorough drill in. and complete mastery of, the three R's is not only absolutely essential, but little else really matters unless the pupil has a firm foundation upon which to build. At least the old system has produced some very wise men and women for several hundred years.

The question arises: if the three R's are to be practically abolished so that time may be released for the study of social science and creative art, how arc pupils going to learn anything if they can not read, write or figure? There must be a foundation for the study of social science and creative art the three R's have been forming an excellent foundation in the past. I'rofessors in the University of Arizona have told us that it is almost impossible to teach "creative" writing for the simple reason students have not yet mastered the basic principles of writing, that is, spelling, simple sentence and paragraph construction, and that the major portion of the time spent in English classes in universities today, which should be taken up with higher subjects, is devoted to trying to instill simple principles that should have been acquired in the grades. Social sciences and creative art will take care of themselves if a student, boy or girl, is taught to think, and think straight, and concentrate bis mind on the subject before him. Latin and Greek have been boohoocd for years, but the minds that mastered Latin and Greek have contributed more than the minds that receive a slipshod, easy-method training. The treasurer of the Republican national committee in bis reply to tlv attack of Senator Capper on the Sinclair contribution scandal, misapprehends the point of attack, exonerating all members of the present administration of participation in the Teapot Dome and subsequent scandals.

The point is not that any Republican connected with the administration was responsible for any of the events to which Senator Capper refers. But the treasury of the national committee is a continuing thing. It was tainted by the $160,000 Sinclair contribution and the taint can be removed only by the repudiation and return of that gift. It cannot be removed by any lapse of time, and if it to the whole party. Arizona.
