The Man Who Wouldn't
Go Home
lChristianna G. GiIchristl


I've been talking TO this young
man and | cannot persuade him
that home is the best place for him"
The assistant of the charity agent
sighed anXiously, for young herself,
she knew the hopes of youth and
the appointments, also, in their
transcendent bitterness. Il won't go
home, III die in the street first"
The charity agent had heard this
sort Of sentiment before and she
smiled. You have never died r the
street, yet, so YOU cannot know how
it would seem. Moreover. our police
have habit Of picking up people
who want to die IN the street and of
bringing them under shelter. Then
they resuscitate them with beans"
The young man gave a little shame
faced laugh. Anyway. l won't go
home. You know l should die if
did, and l think I have right to
do what I want" A harsh. choking
cough interrupted him. and the two
charity workers resumed their writ
ing, while the boy regained his
breath. He was twenty four he had
said, and any mother would have
rejoiced in the broad frame, now so
pitiably thin. and in the crop of
curly brown hair the straightfOr-
ward gray eyes. But the mouth
weak and wiIfull, offered light on
the history Of the illness. You
came from your home to FL Paso?'
Inquired the agent, as the coughing
subsidized, and l suppose your friends
compelled YOU to come" No, II
came of my own accord" From El
Paso YOU went to Los Angeles and
later to Redlands?" Yes. the fogs
hurt me in Los Angeles" "Of
course your friends forced YOU to
leave Redlands and go down to I'M
perial." "A doctor advised me to
find a warmer climate, but / went
because | wanted to. Then your
friends urged YOU to leave Imperial
and come to Phoenix. didn't they o.
The boy looked his surprise but made
no answer
Have you improved great deal
since you left home?" queried the
agent This was too much-'Tm
worse, lots worse" The boy was
almost sobbing. And still you think
your way is best" the agent spoke
without raising her eyes from her
writing, but she was sure of the an
swer-"Tll do anything YOU say. but
/ won't go home" Don't worry
about going home or about anything
else. just now" the agent cOmforted,
but take an order to the county doc
tor When he has seen you, we
shall all know much better what
should be done" The boy left the
office with less of mutiny in his
face.
The doctors verdict was simple:
tuberculosis third stage, left lung
practically gone and right showing
much activity generally. etc" AT
the next visit. the boys face was
pathetic Doc isn't most awful en-
couraging, is he? He didn't say

A BOND ISSUE
He Urges Other Ranchmen
to Endorse the Proposal
to Give to Maric0pa
County a Permanent Sys-
tenn Of Good Roads

To the Editor of The Republican. Sir:
l read the letter of Mr.. Lin Orme
in regard to issue of million dol
lars worth Of bonds for permanent
roads in Maricopa county with a
great deal Of interest ana entire ap-
prevail.
notice by your paper that the
business men Of Phoenix are endors-
ing the movement, but have noticed
nothing 50 far from any rancher. I
myself am a rancher and as such.
want to endorse the idea as strongly
as can and would advise every
rancher TO endorse the plan
If il is worked out carefully on a
business like basis. it viii mean more
TO rs than anything else. as a per-
manent system Of roads would al
low us to get our products to mar
ket for about one-half of what it
costs us now
Under the present system of tenn
porary repairs the only way the
roads can be worked with the small
amount of money we have each year
am satisfied that 80 per cent of it
is wasted
That amount of money paid as in
terest on long term bonds would give
us a permanent road system now.
Not only do we get the benefit of
the increased ease with which we
can travel and transport our pro-
ducts but we derive direct benefit
in enhanced valuation of our prop
erty which viii be many times more
than the cost of the bonds
Under the present system if con-
tinued we will probably in ten years
spend a million dollars on our roads
and derive no more benefit than we
have in the past ten years.
With rapidly increasing immigra-
ton Of settlers into this county we
have reached the point where we
must have better road system and
know Of no other way except by
bond issue
Thanking YOU in advance for the
space in Your valuable paper,
! am sincerely yours.
