Man Mysteriously Disappears

A man by the name of F. Vail, who had been working for the L. ]. Smith construction company on the double track work has myste- riously disappeared and can not be located.
 Eight or nine checks made out to him were cashed by a couple men named Brannen and Leland who claim Vail gave them to them to cash, and one check was found along the railroad track.
 The endorsements were alleged to be forged, but Vail has myste- riously disappeared leaving no trace behind him, though the sheriff's office has been doing everything in their power to find the missing man. It is known that Vail had been drinking the last time seen in Flagstaff and some of the checks were cashed during that night.

There is constant demand for literature concerning Flagstaff and Northern Arizona, from all over the country. The Sun has week after week sent out free copies to people inquiring for them. For this reason We believe that a good booster edition would be of great benefit to all. Messrs. Reaves and Delaney are exceedingly com petent men for gathering up the necessary data and are putting their whole time to it. This is not a money making scheme for The Sun--it is for the benefit of Flagstaff and surrounding country, consequently every one interested in boosting things along should help the edition along. The more help we get from business men and citizens the larger the edition will be.

Killed at Pioneer Home

Escaping from the nurse who was watching him, John O'Donel, an inmate of the Pioneers Home at Prescott, fell from the porch of that institution at an early hour this morning and, landing on the rocks below, sustaining injuries that resulted in instantaneous death. When found, about fif- teen minutes after being missed, he was mass of broken bones and internal injuries.
 O'Donel had been in the hospi- tai, where he was under treatment for ills incident to old age. A man by the name of Daly had been assigned to guard the old fellow, but somehow or other the sick man got out of bed and walked over the porch to his death before his absence was discovered.
 The deceased was admitted to the Home March 4, 1911, from Coconino county, to which place he had come in 1871 from Yuma. He was an old soldier and mule driver. He was born in Galway, Ireland, in 1881 and was aged S2 years at the time of his tragic death. Coroner McLane was ummoned.-Journal Miner.

An exchange says: A banke r down in Missouri has hit onto a novel way to tell whether an applicant for loans at his bank is reliable or not. He steps to the telephone and calls up the pub- fisher of the local paper. If the applicant is paid up, be gets the loan, but if he is in arrears, the security must be gilt edge. " There is more truth than poetry in the above proposition. The man who is slow to pay for his local paper IS just as apt to be slow elsewhere and the men who dead beat the printer are the same fellows who will do" the mer- chant or banker.

Tribute to the Church.

Protestant testimony to the power
and beneflcient influence Of the church
is constantly increasing. Speaking at
the national conference OF church
clubs recently held in Cambridge.
Mass, Professor Lawrence B. Evans
said:
IT would not minimize in the least
the credit due to the Church of Rome
for her splendid services to religion and
civilization. When the very founda-
tions of civil order we're shaken, while
Europe was in the process Of adjust
ing itself to the changes caused by the
breaking up Of the Roman empire and
the migrations Of the Teutonic tribes,
the Church of Rome not only main
tanned the Christian faith in the west
Of Europe, but she also supplied the
deficiencies Of the secular government
She cared for the poor. She taught
the young. She civilized the barbar-
ian. Everywhere she stood for law and
order. She was chief civilizing influ-
ence. And a large part of her success
was due to her centralized control-a
control which was constantly strength
ened as the centuries passed. With
the development of an orderly political
authority, the necessity for much OF
her secular activity ceased to exist.

A SANE FOURTH.

Minneapolis may lay well substan-
tiated claims to having celebrated a
sane Fourth this year. There was
only one serious accident reported
that may be attributed to the celebra-
ton. There was no noise but the
noise of happy voices. No one was
subject to the danger of being manned
or poisoned by firecrackers and other
have been the source Of peril to chill
dren. The flag raising in twenty
three parks and the singing Of patri-
otto songs by audiences collected in
as many places were the principal
lessons in patriotism taught by the oc.
casion.
That the celebration accomplished
all that could be wished in the direc-
ton of eliminating danger to life and
limb, goes without saying. The only
question that might be pertinent is,
Could the Fourth be celebrated as
sanely and in a way that would better
bring home to the people the signif-
canoe of the occasion?
Athletic contests, while laudable in
themselves and innocent and pleasant
means of passing the day, do not seem
to be especially designed to teach the
children what the Declaration OF Inde-
pendence stands for and what the
Revolutionary war meant. The ques.
tton arises, Could not oratorical con-
tests be arranged among the young.
sters that would be entertaining and
at the same time instructive to the
audiences and especially so to those
who would take part, as feature of
sane Fourth celebration
Patriotic subjects might be chosen
There could be different classes of
contestants, just as there are in ath-
letic events. The talks could be made
as brief as need be. They might
even be reduced to the form of a COM
petition in epigrams. The purpose
would be to inculcate the idea of the
value of liberty and what it cost our
forefathers to win it for US. The pro-
gram might be varied by the singing
Of patriotic songs and by quotations
Of passages from famous speeches that
best express certain ideas connected
with the war of independence.
This is not in the way of a criticism
of the celebration. but only as sug.
gestion of how the Fourth could be
kept as sane as the recent celebration
was and still be little more patriotic

Choosing Ones Life Work.

or the many graduates of schools
and universities who go out each year
to begin their life work, there<is a
large percentage who do not know
what kind of work they would like
best to follow. Choosing a life work
is an easy task for some, but not so
for others. Some boys know before
they leave the grade schools what they
would like to do and keep constantly
aiming at that goal until they reach
it. When they do, they are happy.
Doing work that is agreeable is half
the pleasure of life.
The young man or woman who can
decide definitely what he or she wants
to do is fortunate. Half the trouble
and worry of getting job is passed
when the decision is made. Such a
person will do whatever comes to
hand, always with the object of trans
ferring to the desired work as soon as
IN opportunity arises. e.. 81. j..
But there is the other less fortunate
individual who does not know what
he wants to do and is never satisfied
with what he is doing. He looks at
the apparently contented people about
him and wishes he was in their place
He does not realize that If he were he
would be no better satisfied. For such
q person the important thing is to
come to some sort of decision. The
sooner he decides that he will do this
or that kind Of work. no matter how
hard or disagreeable it may be at first
the sooner he will succeed. 1870.
Vacillating from one position to an
other never gets anyone anywhere. 1t
was Emerson who once said. IL man
can write a better book, preach bet
ter sermon or make q better mousse
trap than his neighbor, though he live
in the heart of wilderness, the world
will make beaten path to his door
The important thing is to learn to do
some one thing we'll. To choose life
work Is not an easy matter. but ev-
eryone must make up his mind to do
1t soon&r or later. Every one can elm
mate many kinds of work that he
would not care to do. He must keep
up the elimination process until he
finally hits on something that he would
rather do than anything else. When
this is done, he must not let consider
atoms of inadequate pay deter him
from following 1t. His aim should be
to do that particular kind of work so
we'll that his services will command
the highest pay.

content at home. The second attracts
them to America. The two forces
working together determine the iney-
liable result. s-r,,
While the Irish immigrant is able to
adapt himself to the changed condi-
tons confronting him here with much
greater facility than people of some
other nationalities. he, nevertheless,
has to face severe odds. In the first
place he must separate from the
friends and scenes which are the prop
er setting OF his home life and his do
mestic happiness. He must accustom
himself to u changed climate and to
changed conditions. He must make
an entirely new start. For the aver
age man this is not easy. For the ex-
ceptional man it may be an advantage.
This significant fact must not be
overlooked, that as industrial condi-
tions have grown better in Ireland
fewer and fewer have been the emf.
grants. People instinctively prefer thu
place where they were raised to any
other place on earth. Other condi-
tions being equal, they are better off
there.
The natural conclusion, then, is that
when Ireland gets home rule. cmigra-
ton will fall off still more. Home rule
will mean, If 1t means anything, that
the industrial conditions will improve,
that opportunities will improve and
that foreign countries will appeal less
to young ambitious lrishmen. The
country will cease to be drained of its
best blood and culture will increase. If
home rule will do what it is expected
to do, namely give the Irish people tho
opportunities they are seeking in 9TH
er lands, it will solve the emigration
problem.
