Primary Qualities Of Good Citizenship

Assuming, then, that good citizen.
ship necessarily implies service OF
some sort to the state, the country or
the public, that such service may
vary widely in amount or in degree,
says Success. Tho man and woman
who have family OF children, edu-
cafe them, bring them up honorably
and well, teaching them to love their
country, are good citizens and deserve
well OF the republic. The man who,
in order to care for his family and
give his children fair start in life,
lauors honestly and diligently at his
trade, profession or business, and who
casts his vote ut all elections, adds to
the strength as well as to the mater
ial prosperity OF the country and thus
fuliills some OF the primary and most
important duties OF good citizenship.
Indeed, it may be sad, in passing,
that he who labors in any way, who
has any intellectual interest, who en-
ploys his leisure for any public end
even the man who works purely for
selfish objects-has one great element
OF good citizenship to lis credit; Tor
country like ours rs the mere idler,
the mere seeker for selfish amuse-
ment, who passes his time in con-
slant uncertainty as to how he shall
get rid OF the next day or the next
hour OF that brief life which, how
ever short in some cases is, from
every point CT view, too long for him.
Rearing family, casting vote,
leading decent life and working
honestly for livelihood are, however,
primary and simple qualities in meri-
torious citizenship, in its true sense,
rises much higher and demands much
more than these. Here, again, it be-
comes necessary to define ones mean
ing and get rid OF generalitics. All
men who do good work have ideals at
which they aim, dreams of what they
hope to accomplish, and all, especial
ly these who succeed most fully, fall
far short OF their ideals, for self
satisfaction usually halts tho adj
vance and puts an end to achieve
ment. But to come short of ones
ideal is not defeat. "Not failure, but
low aim, is crime" The ideal can be
set too high, and then any progress
toward it is victory, and the life
work is not barren OF results. This is
as true OF citizenship as OF any other
great field of human effort. The
ideal cannot be set too high, pro-
vided it is comprised by common
sense and clear reason and does not
topple over into eccentricity. But in
order to possess an ideal which must
be at once sane and lofty, it is es-
sential to have standard, and that
standard must be clear and sharply
defined, not misty or confused. For
example, if we wish to teach our
children that loyalty to the nation
and to the union OF states Is funda.
mental quality of any American citi-
zenship worthy to be called good, We
must not set up monument to
man, no matter how eminent, who
won all his fame in an unsuccessful
effort to wreck liberty.

THE MCDOWELL DITCH
Amicable Adjustment of Rights Of
Various Settlers.

Frank Mead. special agent of the In
dian department, who has been here
for several days and who also spent
some time in Fort Mcdowell for the
purpose of adjusting matters between
the Indians and the settlers and be-
tween the government and the settlers,
has about finished his work and VIII
probably leave tonight or tomorrow
morning.
Yesterday he held IN important con-
ference in the parlcrs of the Ford
hotel, with certain of the Mcdowell
settlers. The purpose Of It was &c set
tie matters that were not really the
issue for which he came here but which
naturally grew out of the general trou-
bic. In reality il was a settlement CT
the ditch troubles Of that locality and
il is believed everything is now agree
ably and pleasantly arranged. The title
to the ditch rests in Ii Jones and in
the Shaver estate. other settlers who
had no interest in the ditch had in
times past bought certain wate- priv
ileges. Some Of these were n dispu,e
and the conference yesterday was TO
adjudicate and have defined the rights
of all to the use of the ditch and the
water. 1t is believed that everything
has now been satisfactorily arranged.
