THE UMPIRE

When judge, sitting on the bench, has sub mtted to him problem of law, he is required to give his decision instantly does he have to submit to hoots and jeers from assembled m fans in case his decision is popular.
 The judge takes his time, days and weeks if he so desires. He listens to arguments by learned and able attorneys and often they file with him briefs in which they have set forth all decisions ing to the points issue
 The average judge will decide in a year ly so many cases umpire in a baseball game decides in the course of hours.
 And the umpire decide instantly. He has no chance to hear arguments by opposing teams and nobody ever files brief in the bar. He must pass the point at issue right now and if the decision means the winning a game, as so often decision does then the arbiter liable to be mobbed after the contest $ over.
 The judge sits in court, looked up O by all and esteemed by all. while the umpire has friend and everybody who has paid his way free to address uncompIimentary remarks him
 Yet the umpire has the harder job two Because he has to pass judgment so quickly he is bound to make mistakes that the judge court can avoid by deiberation. The umpire, too has so many more points which to pass than has the judge And almost any fair lawyer will a good judge; at least good judge the average of today But good umpries born and made. Not all good ball players are good umpires by any manner of means

He ful in many ways, and he groaned when he was asked to do the little things that a boy do to make life easier for the family though strong and he would work hard for outsiders little money of his
 The boy not unusual. Most boys are like him. He was beginning to lead life his own and developing interests that would expand merge some day into the interests larger world. He was inconsiderate of But though that is hard on mother 1t is better for the boy being too considerate. There boys girls who live by far too much in the atmosphere the home and take its burdens far seriously. when at last the home is broken they feel lost in the world and i'll at ease amongst the joyful young people that should have been their companions. they carry an atmosphere of over -conscientousness into new home of their own.
 In the animal world it is the rule of life for par ents to look after their young and young to repay the debt not to the parents themselves young of their own. A species that neglects ents can continue to exist But neglects young cannot.

THE DANGER YEAR

A boat adrift in a whirlpool is akin to Fates handling newly married couple the sea of ma trmony. Wee insignificant quarrels easily may be likened to the whirling waters which turn the boat-sometimes to send it to sailing, or to whrl it rapidly that sinks before it right itself.
 Petty quarrels and false pride, greatest and oldest enemy of married happiness wrecks for all time the one real haven they know. home
 Gilbert Frankan, the novelist, believes the sev- enth year of married life is the most dangerous Then passion" he says has cooled often there is nothing to take it's place. Marriages founded on mere whim or infatuation may their happiness in a year."
 Others assert it is question of age only.
 T think the danger year of marriages varies according to the different classes people" says another writer. Where the is her own maid the danger year for her. is the year child is born Very often the girl-wife, to the many household duties fond of pleasure pretty clothes grows morbid because great care and the nec essary extra economy the baby brings. Sympathy and love from her husband tide her over and when the full realization of life grows upon them-corn- plete understanding essential married happiness has them.
 "Eugenics and more honestly relating to life are the most important factors marriage re- lation,'' says prominent divorce lawyer J1dees magistrates and lawyers to agree that aignor- ance" is to blame for dvorces and separations than all other causes.

An Article In Which Things Start Happening

Good morning, everybody. I hope that you all feel as cheerful as you look. I don't believe that l have ever been in a place where every one seemed to be so happy. Perhaps it is because of the sunshine and the more than blue sky, or it may be the spirit of the vest about which we hear so much in the east.
 And how did you like the picture of me this morning? Sometimes I won dered if I really could get up enough courage to turn around and let you see me But did and here am. Do look like you thought I would?
 I don't know just what I shall do first, now that I really have decided to make my home here. l think, with the fall and winter tourists already planning to come to Phoenix, that per haps it would be wise for me to find place to live. And that of course, will necessitate great many visits to real estate dealers and many tours of inspection throughout the city. I think that I would like to live on one of your lovely shaded streets that go for so many blocks under such grand big trees. Because a home on a street like that would be pleasant both in the winter and the summer months, don't you think.
 When I was discussing the purchase of a home with one of your realty dealers he inquired how large a place wanted-er-"are you married?" And I had to confess to him that I was notl Folks, I wonder if that was a confession. or is it something to be proud of? I'll bet half of you will say, "It's a shame" while the other half will declare that it's great to be sin gle.'
 One of the features of Phoenix that is especially attractive to me is the little brick or stone houses, the most of them being only one story hfgh. should think that they would make
 the most delightful little homes for either the summer the winter months. l think perhaps that I shall live in one of the brick ones. l wonder what the real estate dealer meant by asking me if I was married.
 I didn't hardly know whether to be cross with him not He really seemed quite interested. Maybe I'll see more of him later. Maybe not. Whats his name? I'll not tell. now ] anyway.

Governor cox's Visit

For years back in Ohio Governor Jimmy Cox has been regarded not only very shrewd politician but of the most adroit carnpagners who ever stepped foot a Buckeye platform Yesterday to a crowd of many thousands of faithful Democrats and Republicans state fair grounds Governor Cox lived up his reputation He has many attrac- qualities lots of punch and earnestness lively of humor, ability to make brilliant epigrams and any incident that occurs to his personal advantage. but with all his personal charm he has too big burden in carrying the wire of success in November the Wilson administration and it's record of wabblness and waste.
 An interesting illustration of the feeling of the yesterday that while the governors refer ence to woodrow Wilson his handmade League Nations brought little applause, when the governor, realizing of the Wilson lead began the record of Theodore Roosevelt and the constructive had done in building up the West the crowd broke loose.
 And, again. with clever political sense, catching spirit when he started in to praise the fine progressive record of Hiram Johnson re- sponsive chord was California senator who. like good sportsman. is today supporting the national Republican ticket.
 Governor Cox dwelt with characteristic earnest ness and fervor on the group of senators largely responsible Harding's nomination and painted them dismal coors but failed Messrs. Charley Murphy, Tammany York. Mike Brennon Murphy's confrere of Chicago, Tom Taggart of Mud Baths fame In- diana, the Wet Triumvirate whose team play for him at San Francisco made Cox nomination a possibility.
 The crowd delighted at the kind things Governor Cox said about Arizona this lovely valley They enjoyed his humor and gave him generous hand for what he said and said we'll boys in France but question whether visit will add any votes to the Democratic ticket. The people of Arizona have been taught to think as Governor Cox did yesterday, endorses to the limit the Wilson administration. they going to think and think mighty hard and thinking will result in showing them the folly putting in the White House who promises to continue the Wilson dynasty.
