A Fitting Tribute.

A brave member of the metropol-
itan police force received recognition
last night from 4 group of citizens for
his part in the capture of a gang of
bandits who had committed many
crimes. At the same time his fellow
officer. who met his death in the fight
for the capture, was eulogized for his
fearIessness in the face of fatal gun
fire.
Policeman Frank Ach, now recov-
ertne from bullet wounds received in
the encounter, was the recipient of
a watch from Brightwood Masonic
Lodge, and Mrs. L. W. X. Busch,
widow of the slain patrolman. was
presented with a bouquet in memory
Of her husband, who fell in the line
of duty.
1t is fitting and proper that honor
should be done these men, one living
and one dead. Shot down by bandits

Disagreeable people seem to consti-
tute a necessary portion of humanity
The joke of it is that those who rub
one person the wrong way Will prove
eninently agreeable to another!
So every one finds his place.
The ancient Greeks held, according
to Homer, that Jupiter mixed In the
fate of every person certain amount
OF happiness and certain quantity
Of evil.
The same sort Of thing would seem
to hold true of acquaintances In every
day life. Each one of us will find
some men to our liking, others affect
ing us adversely.
1t is not always so easy to see, now
ever. that those we dislike are quite
as necessary to our scheme OF things
as those agreeable persons who fill our
cup to overfioWing.
, It Is pleasant to contemplate lie
free from the let and hindrance of
persons who say the wrong thing at
the wrong time, of those who 1nVarla-
| bly, do something to make one feel un-
! happy, of those who throw rocks In
: the pool of life.
Would 1t not be possible, we might
ask, to build such a world, each man
| for himself, in which each one would
be surrounded at all times by friends
alone, with no provision ever made
! for the intrusion of Quarrelsome. dis
agreeable persons?
Yes, 1t might be possible-but would
| 1t be profitable? The chances are that
one would lose q great deal more than
| he gained. In days of old, potentates
| of various countries had much the
same idea.
Surrounded by sycophants, flat
terers all, they lived somewhat happy
lives, in the course of which no one
| said a single disagreeable thing In
their presence. One might say that
they were happy. in degree. But as
they had falsified life for the sake of
spurious happiness, so their fate was
generally in keeping with the life they
! had led.
Some time in the dark night, when
| the royal presence had at last been
got to bed with great ceremony. and
after he was sleeping away much as
any other man, some envfous soul,
who had only a few hours ago
mouthed pretty platitudes, released
| the stored-up rancor of lifetime
and let the slumbering potentate have
| it between the ribs.
| The uses Of enemies have been dis
cussed before, and better than we
could hope to do it.
After all, very few of us have
enemies, in the sense the word Is gen
orally meant.
Modern life has done away with
! enemies" to a large extent, for the
majority Of persons.
| 1t has left plenty of disagreeable
persons, though.
One meets them on every side. Even
| the superoptimists confess as much,
by the very plenitude of their writ
! ings upon the very opposite sort of
men and women!
! Indeed, he doth profess too much" ="
as Shakespeare said.
| If modern life were not filed to
1 overf1owing with disagreeable per-
| sons, where would there be the need
| for the cultivation of optimism?

SHOOTING STARS.

Once Again.
Once again the Autumn CLEANS
Rich and fair,
AS the misted sunlight streams
Through the air;
And the seasons as they pass
Seem to say
Though the cynic sighs, ALAS

There's mellow, yellow light
Through the trees;
Golden rod is bravely bright
In the leaS.
Every season has its charm
AS we stray;
Let's go on, without alarm,
And be gay.

FLAGSTAFF VOTES
TOCHANGE FORM
OF GOVERNMENT

FLAGSTAFF - Flagstaff town
council on Monday last, voted un-
animously to change from the town
to the city form of government.
and Flagstaff will become a city on
September 8.
There is no charter change. I'm
der the adopted city form, there
will continue to be a mayor and
six councilmen, but instead of be-
ing elected by council, the mayor
will be elected by direct vote of the
people from among the candidates
who may try for the place.
The motion to change to the city
form was made by Councilman Jos.
J. Walhaus and seconded by Coun-
Gilman K. ]. Nackard. Mayor /. B.
Koch put the motion and it was un-
animously carried.
City Attorney F. w. Perkins had
been working for some time on the
legal phases of the proposition and
had consulted the state attorney
general concerning seeming con-
flicts in the law regulating the
method of change. These contra
dictions, however, he was advised,
were more apparent and real, and
there remained no legal obstacle
to the change and the manner in
which it was made.
Under the city form, council has
many more powers than under the
present town form of government.
In addition to those delegated to
the council of a town, are the pow
ers delegated by the state law to
city councils.
