Address of Rev. Furr of Rock Springs, at
cenver.
Speaks of Communities Where no Religious
Work is Done.

After the opening exercises OF the sec
end day of the Congregational meeting at
Denver, Rev. H. NJ. Burr of Rock
Springs was introduced and spoke on
The Spiritual Conditions and Needs of
Wyoming" He sad: When called
upon yesterday to act as a substitute for
the Rev. Mr.. Williams to speak on the
conditions and needs Of Wyoming. l said
that 1 could only speak for Rock Springs.
where | am located. | can only speak
generally OF the work being done in the
territory, as my experience has been con-
fined to Rock Springs. However. this
great territory with its wealth Of area and
demands attention. Capital and
people are constantly flowing into it, and
when in the near future it becomes a st tie
its demands will be greaie-.
One OF the needs of Wyoming grows
out of the character of the work being
done there. | don't want to c~riticise
those who are doing gcol work, but there
are exceptions.
Some of the Congregational churches
do not lead an active life. Some are
crossed with the Presbyterian church. and
you know a hybred life is never a very
productive one. There are a number of
wholly unoccupiel feel is in the territory
In the region OF tn, Burnt Fork there
are scores of communities where no re
ligious work is done at all. At Rock
Springs, where we have a thrifty town of
1000 or 5000 people, there are many
God fearing, church going people, bat
there are others on whom the light OF the
gospel has not been shed. There is a
great deal of work to be done in Rock
Springs and it ought to be done to-mOr-
row. First of all, we need a new church,
and were going to have one in tina. At
present we cannot begin - accommodate
our Sunday school although | have sent
two of the ~clisses over to the parsonage.
When we get our rev church We can
turn over the old building TO the SOC
Swedes of Rock Springs. so that they
may worship in their native tongue.
There are about 500 Chimes, in Rock
Springs, who need caring for, but as yet
nothing has been done for them. | have

STILL AFTER IT.

in Washington, the advocates of the
Mexican article propose to fight the
battle again and this time the struggle
will be in the senate. IL the STAN
DARD's special correspondent in Wash
ington is a good prophet, the action
of the house of representatives will be
sustained and the duty will stand.
Readers of the STANDARD will re-
member how the fight over the ques-
ton has run. In the first place, MI.
Carter, when he was talking from the
the Montana stump, assured our people
that he would fix up that little lead
question in no time. All he needed to
do was to talk with the secretary and
the thing would be done. Congress

Washington when he was giving these
assurances to the public-the secretary
of the treasury wouldn't heed his talk.
At once republican newspapers likethe
Inter Mountain demanded that Score
tary Window be put out of the cabinet,
but somehow Window staid right
there. Then, before the house commit
tee on ways and means, Mr.. Carter ar
gued the question, proposing an amend
ment which was promptly condemned
by the STANDARD and which was pro-
nounced unsatisfactory by the salt
Lake Tribune and other western news
papers.
The proposed amendment did not
stand but i'm the end the house ordered

credit for his share i'm bringing TO final
passage a measure which appeared to
be demanded by the people of Mon

posed TO this action. II has a strong
lobby at Washington, and the news
that the struggle will be carried into
the senate is not surprising. We do
not believe that the duty on lead is a
matter of as deep concern to the people
of Montana as some people consider il
to be; still, the duty was asked In be-
half of Montana and, now that il has
been carried i'm the house. there is
small reason tn fear hostile action in

In Boston that great American in
stitution, the free lunch, Is receiving
"A decided impetus in n way, while I'm
another its death blow is surely being
administered. The meaning of the
paradox is that the free lunch as such
is a thing of the past, although all its
distinguishing characteristics and at
tributes still remain, the only difference
being that the privileges of the counter
are no longer free. The decline and
fall of the free lunch would he regarded
in many circles as truly deplorable were
il not accompanied by the compensat-
ing phenomenon of free beer. This re-
versed condition Of things has been
brought about by the peculiarities of

to distinguish much vital difference
between the new plan and the old, but

The increased activity of the Farm

the professional politicians of those

control the result. II is also said that

that il is only another passing political

The present movement, however, is
entitled to respect. for the farmers feel
