ALARMING RACKET MERELY
ELK HERD BREAKING CAMP
Delegation, of for Dallas Convention,
Adds Siren Whistle to Their
other Noise Making
Paraphernalla

Did you hear a long wall about 10:3o
o'clock last night that was something
OF a cross between a "siren" and
caliope? If you didn't, everyone else
did, and wondered.
Some thought 1t was the echo of the
Bryan demonstration in Denver, and
that the whole thing had ended in a
whoop.
1t wasn't the end of the convention;
not much. 1t was just the start. The
barrier was just UP. 1t was the fare
we'll whoop-de-whoop of the Los An
geles Elks setting sail for the good
port Dallas. Texas. where something in
the Elk line of pyrotechnics is down in
the dope book for next week.
The Los Angeles delegation, not con-
tent with ordinary noise-makers, bor-
rowed-some say stole-the siren whis-
tie from one OF the downtown build
ings and attached 1t to the air brake
OF it's special train.
When the train started was there a
noise? Ask the man next door.

According to an interview given by
Congressman Ellis. as we'll as the in
formation given by special correspond
ence and press dispatches, practically
every representative and senator
thinks there should be some legislation

many different ideas as there are legis-
lators and the prospects of any action
are not bright. This is practically true
with reference to the tariff and all
other important questions demanding
the attention of the American people
but as this is a presidential year it is
deemed wise by the pliticians to go
slow and hence the multiplicity of
ideas is a good thing, if not a necessi-

prevail that little may be expected Of
this session. The policy appears to be

To be sure in many cases it is perhaps
well for the country that the repre-

they know nothing. for they then do
no great harm to the country. but it

FOR A UNITED EFFORT.

The resolutions adopted yesterday
afternoon at the Christian Missionary
right spirit. AS rule it is undoubtedly
true that there are too many churches
in the smaller towns and in many of
the larger cities. BY this it is not to be
intimated that there are too many
church members or Christian people
but that possibly there could be better
work done by a more united effort.
Would it not be far better to enlarge
the usefulness and the scope of the
work of one church before establishing
another?
AS an instance it might not be ne
cessary to go farther than Walla Wal
la. Without an effort to criticize would
it not be better to unite some of the
churches in one grand body with one
magnificent temple? There are four
Methodist churches in the Garden City
and it may not be saying too much to
assert that none of them has an ejifice
such as city of this size should have.
Distances are not great and with car
lines ii should not be too much Of ar
effort to reach a centrally located
church from any part of the city With
all the churches united it should he
no trouble to erect temple that would
be a credit to the church and to the
city, affording ample accommodations
for the increased membership.
AS matter of business economy, to
say nothing OF the opportunities af
forded by united action, would it not
be better to have fewer organiza atoms
with a larger membership working for
the cause of humanity? The suggest
ions of the resolutions afford a subject
for careful consideration.

on the part of a number of Walla Wall

suits, thus rostponing the making Of

be presumed that Mayor Kellough may
not be invited to join this organization

will keep the vags moving just the
same.
