 Pythianism In Arizona
 The first official notice of the in troduction of the order into the State of Arizona was the institution of Prescott Lodge No. in Prescott, Ari- zona, by Past Chancellor A. W. Sut- ton on April 26, 1877. with twenty five members.
 Pythanism In Salt River Valley
 Shortly after the institution of Pres colt lodge, Brother Buck visited Phoe- nix, at that time a town of about 1900 people The trip was made by stage, 125 miles. Here he found but one Pythian, who introduced him to George r. Coates. a merchant of Phoenix, and through him he brought about meet ing that evening. at the Masonic Hall, of some twenty of the business residents of Phoenix, and the next day he succeeded in the collection of the entire amount of fees of s20 each, and sent for the paraphernalia and dtspen- sation, and on September 25, 1880, Phoenix Lodge No. was organized by Brother Buck, with the following first officers: l.. F. Kirkland, past chancellor; J. T. Alsap, chancellor | commander; :. r. Patton, vice chan i cellor; Joseph II. Lively, prelate; 1 George F. Coates, master of exchequer: 1 W. A. Hancock. master of finance; P. 1 ". White, keeper of records and seals Today we have but two surviving i members who signed the charter at the i institution of Phoenix Lodge No. . 1 They are II. W. Ryder and Joseph l Thalheimer, thus making them Pyth- l ians for 40 years.

 In the purchase of their new prop erty at the southeast corner of Wash ington and Third streets, Phoenix Lodge No. ?, Knights of Pythias have acquired not only a prominent business location, but also one of the best con structed buildings in the city On this spot was formerly situated the old Lemon hotel, which. although a one story adope building, was for many years admittedly the finest and best hotel in Arizona. Tn 1911 the property was purchased by Anton Gold. one of the pioneers of the Salt River Valley. who immediately tore down the old adobe edifice. and constructed the present splendid two and three-s story white enamle brick building. The second floor will be immediately re- modelled to make one of the finest lodge halls in the state. and 1t is the intention of the lodge ar an early date to add another story to be utilized for club room purposes.

 Modern Woodmen of America, the the world. was granted a charter by the state of Illinois on May 5, 1884 The founder of the society it is said received his inspiration for the name or the organization while listening to sermon by a minister, who referred to
 woodmen clearing away the forest" The original plan and purpose of the society, which still maintains in it's later development. was to furnish protection for dependents at actual current cost and thus to make it pos- sible for persons of limited means to carry life insurance protection.
 The principal feature of the organ ization is the prompt payment of sub stantial death benefits to the widows orphans and other dependents of de- ceased members. The rates for such insurance are based upon the societyfs 8 own mortality table, which is recos- nized as standard in determining the cost of insurance. Tn addition to death benefits, members upon reaching the age 70, if disabled. may receive refund of all benefit assessments paid by them during their membership years by surrendering their certificates

Public Standards.

Graft is an ugly word an | an
uglier thing. And we who have
lived in an era of aircraft scan
dals and pork barrel legislation
are inclined to feel that it is es
pecially chan acteli stic of our day
and generation.
This is a mistake. Investiga-
ton and comparison give proof
that during the last forty or
fifty years there has been grad
ual and steady improvement in
the public conscience.
Men of better character have
been elect ed to pubic office
Standards of public morality are
higher in the different state leg
islatures. Though much is to be
desired in city government, the
old reckless neglect of public
rights and disregard of common
honesty is gone, We trust for
ever. Men who in other days
robbed the public with impunity
and lau ghed at the powerle S.
ness of law, would in our day
face the strong probability OF
bolts an6 bars and a disapproved
pattern of stripes.
The millennium is far away
But slow and !ortuous as the
course of American politics may
seem, it is headed in that direc
tiou. We have firm faith that
as the years pass graft aid cor.
ruption will be more and m re
discredited and public ser
will be Increasingly based G.
