We Can't Spare Them

We learn with regret that the annual Frontier
Days festival of Prescott ancient institution
threatened by the apathy of It's citizens whose liber
alty in the past had made it possible Preparation
for Frontier Days" has always begun with the Civ
ing of a banquet where the work is outlined and
where the assigning of tasks is begun. The initia-
tive has always been taken by the Chamber of Com
merce, from which invitations to the banquet
sent out to citizens
Until this year there has always been q large
and enthusiastic attendance but only forty
tions made for annual banquet last Tuesday
night. We see in the list of those who made reser-
vatons the names of many prominent citizens Of
long standing but we notice the absence of scores
who have hitherto been active Frontier Days
thusissts The head of the Chamber of Commerce
is inclined to pessmism concerning the celebration
and is fearful that none win be held this year. If
not it is probable that that institutions which has
meant much to Prescott and not only to Prescott
but to large section of the state, will never be
revived.
Prescott of course, is not dependent upon
Frontier Days." It's matchless summer climate and
the hospitality of its people will always attract to
it large population. The Frontier Days
visitors have never, suppose brought any finan-
cial advantage Prescott is not the kind of
that exploits its guests; it entertans them makes
things pleasant for them.
But Frontier Days" has always been great
farfung advertisement for Prescott and for all A-
zona. Though we saw it in Prescott,
member it once in Chicago and again in Cleveland
in great moving picture houses where the audiences
were thrilled because they knew that they look
ing at something real and not the wel-known and
tame tricks of the movie studios
We have no doubt that of the hundreds Of thou
sands who have seen those pictures there are many
who were thereby toward Prescott and toward
Arizona.
We hope that the apathy of the people of Pres
colt toward such event is only seeming and that
it may be overcomel with the result that the
Frontier Days" of 1922 will surpass all earlier cele
brations.

The Service to Which God Calls Us
Te-lsaahs ResponseIsa. 1918
GoIdan ~ I. &

fortunately, however, his contempo-
raries, like ourselves. preferred TO
ignore them. Their wise and prudent
men--that is, those who were wise in
their own eyes and prudent in their
own sight denied or explained away
these uncomfortable facts. Isaiah
simply proclaimed them, wrote them
as il in words of electric light against
the sky. as If IN the staring head
lines of modern paper. He put
them into relation with his spiritual
vision, his philosophy, his religion.
International relations. domestic in
stitutions. national psychology, the
behavior of the people, were matters
about which Isaiah, with his vision
and with his knowledge, could not
keep still.
Ia our several ways. according to
our vision and our knowledge, we
have obligations that, in a humility
matching his own. We must strive to
meet. We have to be reasonably sure
about our facts: and we have to be
especially sure that the live coal from
the altar has touched our lips. The
service to which God calls us is that
of promoting in practical ways the
coming Of his kingdom on earth--or
his democracy. il we use the form OF
language that is most familiar to us.
Kingdom or democracy, it is a
brotherhood based on common SON
ship. In it property is not absolute,
but a trust, stewardship of which
the only test is whether it has con-
tributed to the fullness of life of
those with whom the steward has
had relations. In this fellowship
personal ability is not more absolute
ly than property a purely selfish
asset. 1t is likewise a trust to be
socialized and yoked to the common
service. Science. art. music, litera-
ture and creative work are all to be
shared-all to be so completely with
in the reach of every son of man that
they cease to be marks Of privilege.
Work is not inherently disagree
able; but it may be so unequally dis
tributed that the disinherited work
ers Stagger under impossible burdens
Our service is in whatever way We
find right to help and Tighten those
burdens. Art is not naturally aris-
tocratic: but it may come about that
because of the unequal distribution
of wealth and opportunities. only a
few can see the best things or ac-
auire the education and guidance
which will enable them to appreciate
them. Our service is in whatever
way we find best to extend these
privileges; to promote that just and
righteous commonwealth in which
there are to be recognized the traces
of democracy Of God.

The Democrats at Tucson

There will be diversion in the Tucson Demo
cratic conference at Tucson on May is as to the
agenda. The radical element will endeavor to limit
he program to discussion of principles while the
conservatives will try to carry the purpose, and
he only real purpose for which the conference was
proposed last January-the endorsement of candi-
dates for office
In his letter of last week to county chairmen
and precinct committeeman State Chairman McCalla
said
Our ceanest, ablest and most efficient
Democrats should be nominated for office and
yourselves charmen and precinct commit
teemen, in conjunction with other Democrats
should lend your fullest cooperation until the
desired result has been accomplished

claiming that it is partisan yet must be regarded

with the declaration of platform the conference be
brought to close. leaving the nominations entirely

We recall that at the January meeting greater
stress was laid upon the endorsement of candidates.
Some mention made of the present absurd sys-
tern Of nominating candidates before they could be
committed to any platform principles and policies
was proposed, as we recall to place the horse
before the and make candidates fit the platform
rather than to construct platform fit candidates.
But this discussion was not attended by great
enthusiasm, the committeeman being aware that a

MODERN WONDER CASTLE

The hidden trapdoors, secret cham
bers and underground passages of the
old romances are rivalled by ingeni-
GUS novelties in home furnishing
which are being produced this year.
A house fitted throughout with the
new devices would have all the mys-
terry and surprise of a fictitious
Gothic castle, but with modernne ness
and domesticity as the keynote This
new romanticism in dwelling house
equipment was evidenced at the an
nual Own Your Home exposition in
Chicago.
For in these days twin beds swing
into the clothes closet; an ironing
board unfolds at the pressure Of a
button; a seat emerges from a panel
secreted in. the wall Of the kitchen
and the rear door may be equipped
with cabinets in the lower panel for
the delivery OF groceries, with a set
of trick locks to prevent the reopen
ing Of the door, and with automatic
signs to indicate when the cabinets
are full
An electric, double spindled sewing
machine masquerades as an assembly
of card tables or bookcases. A sub
stitute for swing doors has been de-
vised which slides gently from view,
apparently into nowhere.
Bathroom devices include a half
length tub arranged to enable one to
bathe in a sitting posture. A ledge in
front extends a foot deeper than the
rest of the tub, forming foot basin.
There are shower attachments.
Inventions intended to simplify
kitchen work include detachable
spout for the faucet, which may be
used in spraying lettuce or rinsing
dishes.
To meet vacation demands there is
a summer home in the form OF tent
house which can be put upon per-
manent foundation, 1t Is represented
in a few hours. 1t is said to be popu-
lar in the East.
In the new devices cultural and
esthetic cravings as we'll as utlli-
tartan needs are remembered. In one,
music from a talking machine is syn
chronized with that from an auto
matically set and electrically OPP
Grated player piano.
Among numerous novelties in heat
ing is a hot water heating system
with furnace and tank smaller than
an ordinary stove and adapted for a
place in the kitchen of a 4-room
house. Another heating device IS a
fan intended to push the air from
hot-air plants into the rooms before
heating the radiator flanges and
which is claimed to reduce the time
required to heat a house by twenty
minutes. An automatic heat regu-
lator is designed to cut off the draft
when the temperature Of a room
reaches 20 degrees and to start It

CIATION

The Security Benefit association
met in regular session April 2f, and
admitted another large class into the
folds of Security, the degree work
being under the direction of Captain
Lena Hall and her degree staff.
The most important feature OF the
evening was the presentation of the
new state prize banner to our presi-
dent. Brother Karles. Phoenix coun-
Gil has again won the prize banner
for this quarter and have held it now
for over a year. Let's all pull to-
gether and keep it for another year.

There is always some outstanding
factor responsible for the success OF
fraternal order. It may be the
ability of one man. or the spirit of
cooperation among many, or just
good old-fashioned hard work. The
Security Benefit association has
more than one of such contributing
to its success. Its officers seem 10
be always on the job, and the new
ideas they put into practice are of
such merit that they are frequently
discussed in other circles: the men,
mership shows fine spirit of fra
ternal cooperation; and the field
workers must have been doing some
hard work on the firing line, or the
production would not have reached
the figure it did last year.
