The Optimist and the Crouch

The spirit of optimism manifested by the people "I Phoenix Saturday should have an every day in- the-year demonstration. Of course one cannot nc optimistic when things are going wrong beyond his power to right them. All ne do is to mini the evil and make the most of whatever good there may be in the circumstances about him. He would be very foolish entertain a false conf- dcnce for which there is no ground. That att- Jude would be an invitation to disaster
 Ilut when there is much more of good than evil in surrounding circumstances. it IS the duty of one to be optimistic. That is the present sit uation.
 There is place in Phoenix, in the valley Arizona fer the srouch now. As a matter of fact. cupi,d by grouch that couldn't bc better filled by somebody else. There is nothing to De gained y idle complaining about things do like. The grouch cannot start any reform The very fact that lie advocates a reform of any kind is naturally taken proof that it is really needed It is the optimist who makes things move and raises the higher material and moral level If he sees thing that he thinks needs fixing, it is pretty tain that that is what it needs He it's defect with unprejudced eyes He never sees graft and cNtIuvasancc where exists. He may not see it it begins exist, but it could net attain very dangerous proportions before clear visioned and alert optimst will notice it and take measures for it's suppression.

LEI COUNTIES VOTE ON
 UNIT PLAN SAYS CASE
State Superintendent of Public In. struction Favors Local Option on County Board Propo-
 sition.

That the people of each county should nave the privilege of deciding for themselves whether or not they want Inc county unit plan, is the opinion of Professor C. 0. Case, state superintendent of public instruction. The measure, which was endorsed by the recent conference on school laws, between representatives of the tax papers association of the state and the teachers association, will be pre- scented at the next session of the legislature.
 T am in favor of the county unit plan" said Professor Case in speak ing of the proposed measure, but I do not think it should be saddled on the entire state all at once. There are many details to he worked out in connection with it's operation, and it's adoption is largely matter for the taxpayers of each county to decide.
 Then there is the question as to how the county board is to be chosen. If it is made appointive it will tend 1 to fall under the head of political of flee If the members are to be elect ed the question naturally arises. by whom? In one state the county board of education is chosen by the grand | iurv in others it is elected. Ohio ! l believe, has the most democratic method of administering the county
 unit plan. There the board is elected [ by the presidents of the district school boards at a special election. I think the people of each county should be i allowed to determine for themselves
 whether or not they want the sys- ! tenn"

 At this time we received orders from the Good Hope to get out of range of the enemys fire, which we did: and then all we could do was to look on helpless, and I hope to heaven I shall never have to witness such a sight again.
 There was the Good Hope and the Monmouth on fire and being shelled unmercifully by the enemy, and with over 200 boys on board between them. and with 300 men in this ship who could not even raise a hand to help them-only stand and look on.

When after it had tri- umphed Hucrta overthrow Madero and Carranza broke into revolt it apparent that the later revolution would be short-ived and that fairly orderly if very respectable and admirable government would be established Probably that would have happened if government had not interfered to give strength and proongation to the revolution, with the result that the country divided into three hostile camps of probably nearly equal strength and without prospect that any of them will quickly dominate.

who was sacrificed upon the harvest
field. In the great Phoenician sanctu-
airy Of Astarte at Byblus the death of
Adonis was mourned to the shrill wall
ing notes of the flute, with weeping,
lamentations and beating of breasts,
but the next day the dead god was
believed to rise from the dead and
to ascend to heaven in the presence
Of his worshipers, amid hymns of Joy
and glad shouts of 'Adonis is risen
from the dead" 1t is in the worship
of Attis, however that occurs the
most striking resemblance to many
of the observances of the Christian
Easter. Attis was believed to have
been miraculously born of a virgin
mother and like Adonis to have died
a violent death, rising from the dead
at the time of the spring festival.
Hideous orgiastic rites marked the rit-
ual Of AttiS worship in Rome. Days
of blood and atonement preceded the
hilarious joy OF the great day of res
direction. While devout multitudes
Hooked to the sanctuary, the unsexed
priests of Attis and Cybele, to the
music of flutes, drums and cymbals.
slashed themselves with knives, and
in wild, frenzied dances splattered the
affairs with dripping blood. The effigy
Of Attis bound to a pine tree played
an important part in the ceremony.
The Day Of Blood" witnessed the
period of mourning over the efigy of
the god which was afterward buried
in sepulcher. The worshipers prayed
and tasted in wailing and lamenta-
ton in preparation for the sacra-
mental meal. But when night had
fallen the grief Of the worshipers
turned to ecstatic gladness in the Fes-
tiTal of JOY. Suddenly a light shone
in the darkness. The tomb was opened
and the temple thrilled to shouts thai
told that Attis had risen from the
dead And as the priest touched the
lips Of the mourners with balm he
softly whispered in their ears the
glad tidinss Of salvation. The resur-
Tection OF Attis was hailed by his
votaries as a divine promise that
they, too, would issue triumphant
from the corruption of the grave.
a blessed sacramento meal and a
baptism of blood were among other
ceremonies for the initiates, a ritual
which included q sacrifice of vfrility.
1t meant to then a new spiritual
birth and remission of sins.
