GbautauQua Injecting.

Pierian Circle held on Easter Sun
day had something of holiday
air about it. It is customary on
these occasions to slightly unbend
from the official gravity which
marks the circles usual proceed
ings and to devote the day to
pleasure rather than to instruction.
No hint of this relaxing tendency
was given, however, in the Secre-
tary's semiannual report, the read
ing and adoption of which were
the first features of the meeting.
The following lengthy program
was then carried out, the services
of the critic having been dispensed
with, and discussion of the papers
eliminated:

HALF-YEARLY REPORT.

1t is the duty of the secretary
of this circle, according to the by
laws adopted on May 81, of last
year, to furnish a detailed semi
annual report of the proceedings
of the circle. It is also his unof-
fetal duty to make the said report
as brief as is consistent with de-
cency and with the dignity of the
circle. The following report which
is calculated on the period from
October, 1906, to March, 1907, will
be found to neglect few of these
requirements.
OF the twenty-four members
who constituted the circle at the
beginning of the period, seven
have left the institution, five re-
signed, two were expelled, and ten
are still members. On the other
hand, eighteen new members have
been added, of whom, however,
one has left the institution and
one resigned. The present men,
bership is thus twenty-six.
The work of the circle has been
carried on, as heretofore, chiefly
by papers, of which fifty-three
have been read before the circle,
or rather will have been read by
the end of this meeting. These
may be classified according to
their subjects as follows: Indus
trial, ID; Geographical, 9; Artistic
and Literary, Z; Scientific. q;
Dealing with Political Economy,
8; and Treating of Miscellaneous
Topics of General Interest, IA.
Classifying them according to
their treatment, 70 have been de-
scriptive, IL argumentative, 7 hu-
morous, and 9 in pure essay form.
A new set of Chautauqua studies
has been distributed to the men,
bers but as yet no papers have
been read before the circle which
may have said to have a direct
bearing on the subjects therein
treated.
Several Rotations and musical
numbers have also been given
during the period covered by this
report. and there is an opportun-
ity for other members to come
forward and help in this manner,
as continued repetitions of essen

Wise and Otherwise.
3-By G.. A. Y.-G

Governor Hughes, of New York,
is not proving to be as much of
failure as was predicted at the
time of his election, altho I
must candidly admit that he has
proved bitter disappointment to
the machine politicians of the
Empire State. In recent speech
he gave utterance to an aphorism
that deserves to become classic;
one that should be framed and
hung in the Office of every gov
ernor, mayor or executive who
possesses appointing power in
this big country of ours: "No man
is friend of the party who asks
me or any one in authority to ap-
point man, or retain a man who
is not equal to his job"
Recently "The Holy City" ap-
peared in an Enid, Oklahoma,
theatre and the first six rows Of
chairs held but three or four bald
heads; few nights later when the
curtain raised on "Salome" there
were by actual count twenty-seven
marble-tops in the same space, and
nearly every one was a granddad.
We delight to honor the virtuous
four who saw the Holy City, but
as for the twenty seven at Salome,
it were better to draw the curtain
of charity over the scene; it's dol
lars to doughnuts anyhow that
their better halves told them
all they needed to know when they
learned where they had spent the
evening.
Any law can be enforced if there
be an honest, determined man be-
hind it. For years North Dakota
has had law prohibiting the sale
of liquor; this law has been a
mockery, a worse than dead letter,
until the coming of a governor to
whom all laws look alike. Gov
ernor Burke says he did not make
the law, but that being on the
statute books he proposed to en-
force it. just as he will enforce
every other law he finds there, and
the legislature having seconded
his effort by granting some adj
ditional legislation. the blind pig
gers are now journeying to Bis
marck to ask for time in which to
dispose of their wares. Govern
or Burke informs them all that
such has been the law of the land
for good long time and that he
is powerless tosuspend any statute,
and that if they are caught with
the goods on them it will certainly
go hard with them. With the
merits of the law I have nothing
to do, but it certainly is refreshing
to find an executive who does not
enforce one statute to the extreme
limit, and wink at the violation of
another. To an honest executive,
all laws look alike, no matter what
his personal opinions may be.

WILL BE THE END

Albert Severson, formerly a resident
of this city, who built the house at the
corner of Tenth and Custer streets now
owned by Lauritz Miller, is here for a
few days, getting his household goods
ready for shipment to Oak Creek,
Colo, a point on the proposed extern
sion of the Moffat road eighteen miles
from Steamboat Springs. Mr.. Sever
sons says the road will probably build
to Oak Creek, most of the grading hav-
ing been done to that point, but that
he doe not expect it to go much fur
Their at present. There are immense
coal fields at Oak Creek, now being
opened up, INT his theory is that the
road is after the coal and not much
else. He will return the middle of
next week, having a house nearly COM
pleted in hat place. .

To the Editor of The Republican.
Just now my attention has been
called to a statement in The Republi-
can a few days ago by Mr.. Goodding, an
exstudent of the university, concern
ing certain Mexicans and their prac-
tees. The statement would deserve
no notice, coming as it did from an
u~nref1ecting youth, had not n of the
professors Of the university deemed it
worthy of publication. 1t appears the
offending Mexicans carried in process,
sion an image of Christ and are there
fore set down as idlators. A few
months ago, while visiting in an east.
ern city, We saw the Elks carry in pro-
cession an elk's head, yet no one ex-
cept a lunatic would accuse them OF
idolatry. OF course no ~disrespect is
meant; the fact is used for illustration
merely. The young man saw "sleek
priests supported by poor people.

Wyoming; for instance sleek" stu
dents and sleek professors who were
supported by poor people, as every
