II Everyone Were Good.

If everyone were good rs good could be-
And not soul in all the world were bad
or that included you and counted mel
How things would be improved / cannot see:
I've really got hunch 1t would be sad.
If everyone were free from fault; | say
II everyone were spotless free from faint
comparing then with how things are today
really cannot see where 1t would pay
Things seem so good too often when they
ain't!
For I've observed that good folks get their ioy
From criticizing neighbors who are not;
The good kid always scorns the naughty boy
iurH gold looks down with scorn on base alloy
The spotless soul weeps for the soullcss SPOT
And so / think. il everyone were good
GOOD people would be miserable, because
Ihey couldn't scorn, proper persons should
The scrub-oaks growing in .heir virtuous wood ;
And scandalmongers needs must shut their
jaws,
Therefore, good friends, l do not think I'd dare
10 live when all the world is faulucss; Men
Mhst have their faults. for Nature cannot bear
Fields without mountains growing anywhere
The Devil must make merry now and then

comedy drama "A Stitch in Time will be presented for the last times. This
 intensely interesting play of everyday life has greatly entertained large au-
 diences at the Elks all the past week;

 Remembers of the Lawrence com pany have greatly added to their lau-

 Miss Wilma Steck as Phoebe Ann has
 been a real treat. In this Cinderella like role Miss Steck has made it a
 most fascinating one, endearing the little scrub girl to the audience and
 making them love the little fairy of the studio more and more as the play
 progresses.

~The Right to Happiness"-strand.


 Dorothy Phillips, appearing in Allen Holubar's tremendous success-"The Right to Happiness" is the attraction for the final showings at the Strand today.
 Without question, this is the greatest picture of it's class ever released. Its story is of vital interest to every man, woman and child, and it's lesson a most timely one that strikes true to the heart, the unfoldment of the remarkable plot serving as a medium to drive it home with hammer like blows.
 In the portrayal of the leading role, Dorothy Phillips is superb. It is a dual characterization of the highest emotion al type, and one calling for greater skill than any character of the sort ever wove into a photoplay. As the girl who has nothing and who gives every thing, Dorothy Phillips rendition of Sonia surpasses anything she has yet done, not even excluding that mem orable portrayal in her former success -'The Heart of Humanity" She is equally as convincing as Vivian, the girl who had everything but who gave nothing.

SHE DIDN'T WAIT ID
 SEE DISHES FLY IN
 PARENTAL BATTLE

Pretty 15-year old Irene Cass was the most interesting witness yesterday in Judge Stanford's court in the di- vorce suit which has been brought against her step mother, Mrs. Lydia Cass, by her father, Hugh Cass. in which the defendant has filed a cross complaint
 [ Irene, who is at present a student in girls private school in Los An geles, was called to the stand to testify as to whether or not Mrs. Cass threw dishes at her father as was claimed Showing composure beyond her years, she met most of the questions by saying that when her mother and father got to quarreling she always withdrew from the room
 Miss Harriette Carey. according to Mrs. Cass' testimony, was the recipient Of too many attentions from her hus- band. Mrs. Cass introduced as evi- dence, letters written by him to Miss Carey and signed Eddie" with a photograph and snapshot of the young woman, found in her husbands trunk Mir. Cass. who demanded a jury trial of his suit, maintained on the stand that their relation was nothing more than a friendly one. but admitted he had written her letters whose salu- tation was something like My dear little girl Mir. Cass insisted how ever, that he had made but little dis unction in the treatment of Miss Carey and his own daughter Irene, and that their relations had been proper throughout.
 Attorney Miller of Los Angeles is defending Mrs. Cass, and Pat Hayes of this city is acting as counsel for her husband. The case will be continued today.

"HOLE IN ROCK" AND GIANT CACT| WILL BE IN PARK
Great Natural Curiosities Near Phoenix Are To Be Maintained For Pleasure Of People Of This Vi cinity

Hole in the Rock, six miles east Of this city, with the surrounding desert with it's wonderful growth of cacti, is to be made a park for Phoenix and vicinity to be maintained for all time
 This statement was made yesterday by Hon. James Goodwin, who has for some time interested himself in secur- iLg for the pleasure of the people and the many visitors to this valley this remarkable work of nature.
 Many thousands of people have vis- tied this freak mountain formation, photographs by the hundreds of 1t have been sent all over the country and lt has long been one of the favorite spots of interest in the valley. The great cacu in the immediate vicinity Of Hole in the Rock, scores of them. form the largest park in number and variety of these giant sentiuels of the desert to be found anywhere in the southwest
 At the last session of the state legis. lature, MT Goodwin succeeded in get ting passed a bill to cover the neoes- sary law in the matter. As explained. each township of a reclamation pro- Jecl IS enUtled 10 70 acres Of govern ment land for park purposes, under the reclamation act provided such is desired The bill covered this point.
 Mir. Goodwin said that the commit % tee in charge of the proposed park will confer with the Salt River Valley Water Users association within a few days with reference to details, after which the government details will be attended to by Representative Carl Hayden through the department of the interior
 This proposed park, MT. Goodwin explained, will be one of the best as sets of the valley, place for picnics and a resort upon which the people win look with pride. The canal near Hole in the Rock can be tapped for water sufficient to irrigate grass. flowers and trees. The wonderful collection of cacti. which includes many rare varieties, will be preserved The park is reached by good roads and will be an attraction to tourists in winter and refreshing, delightful spot for the people of the valley dur ing the long summers.

have expressed themselves as eager to do their part in it's maintenance.
 Mines Are Interested
 Goodwin says he has written the big producers as to paying the salary of custodian, with assurance that this will be done He said that it was de- sired that the mines pay this salary until the next meeting of the legisla- ture when a bill will be introduced providing for maintenance of the min ing building permanently. He said in asmuch as the mines now pay 57 per cent of the entire taxes of the state that it would not be hardly a broad minded idea to ask the mines to main- tain the exhibit permanently, and that therefore he was confident the bill will go through without opposition.
 MT. Goodwin said he had talked with all sorts of people on the matter and that he had found almost everybody in Phoenix and the state with whom he talked in favor of a permanent exhibit. He said one man had told him the fair grounds was too far away from Phoe nix for such an exhibit. He said he replied that when he came to Phoenix s5 years ago Washington street was in town and Adams street in the coun- try in a business sense. 'In another 8 years" he said. the fair grounds will be in the center of Phoenix"
 He said that tn fair grounds is ideal as place for exhibiting ores that ores of developing mines and pros poets could be placed there for the benefit of investors. They could com pare such rocks with the ores of the producers in the various mining dis tricts and thereby obtain information first hand without being misled

PERMANENT MINING EXHIBIT PROPOSAL
 GAINS IN PRESTIGE

The proposal to make the mining exhibit at the state fair grounds per manent attraction and to engage a landscape gardener to lay out gar dens and otherwise beautfy the grounds, especially with the view of making of the grounds an exhibition park. is gaining in popularity and prestige, said James Goodwin, super intendent Of the mining exhibit, yes terday.
 The proposal to secure an expert to beautify the grounds was made only a few days ago, but it sounded a re- sponsive note in the hearts of all to whom it was presented. Just to what extent the ground may be beautified scientifically has not yet entered into the proposal.
 As to the permanent mining exhibit MT. Goodwin has received co-opera- ton from the mines. The costly min ing building at the grounds is con- sidered ideal for something in the way of a mining exhibit which would be of worid-wid significance. This exhibit, with ores from all the great mines of the greatest copper mining state in the country, is of so much importance to the civic interests, as well as business interests. of the state, that the mines

"Cry of the Weak" At Lamara.

"The Cry of the Weak is the La mara attraction for the final showings today. Taking it's basic theme, modern criminology, an building it's plot on the cause, effect and remedy for crime, ir opens a broad discussion of a subject on which perhaps every inividual has an opinion-that of whether the most persistent criminals are such through circumstance, desire, or environment, and whether the theory of "once a crook always a crook will stand the acid test of thorough investigation.
 It takes for it's characters the wife of the district attorney. a woman, charming of disposition, who was reared amidst the tenements of big city, a locality steeped in crime, but who rose above her conditions, and rid herself of the contamination. The dis trict attorney breaches the gospel of "once a, crook always a crook" while the wife and noted judge combat the argument by stating that a large pro portion of crime is directly attributable to vengeance against a harsh society rather than from criminal inclination.

This is dramatization of the Mary Rob- erts RineharE "Detitia Carberry" stories published in the Saturday Evening Post recently. The play was made by Edward E. Rose whose ability as d dramatist is attested by the remarkable success of "Cappy Bucks" and Pen rod in New York this season.
 Miss Robson's portrayal of the won derful character of Irish" reveals a unique individuality and strikingly humorous appeal that prove irresistible. This comedy seems to be better suited to the charming talents of this distin- gnisheS comedienne than anything she

At tho close of an appeal last night at the Central Methodist church more than score of earnest young men and women surrendered their lives to Christ. Dr. D. l.. Coale, the Texas evan gelist, preached a searching sermon on "Christs Mission in the World' after which the singer, Mir. BrilIheart, sang He Died of Broken Heart"
 deep feeling was manifest in the audience throughout the service and when the evangelist gave the invitation the front pews were filled with weep Ing young men and women who came forward to surrender themselves to The Christ of a Broken Heart.'
 Dr. Coale then called on Evangelist Owen to lead in prayer, which he did with deep fervor and earnestness.
 Dr. Coale announced that two union services would be held Sunday after noon at 8 o'clock, one for men and boys at the Central Methodist church, at which he would address all the men and boys of the city, at the same hour Evangelist owen would address all the women and girls at the First Methodist Episcopal church
