BED TIME AND BEDLAM

Tell me not that these n1ournful numbers ha1
70 backing of fact. Marse Henry Watterson give
ne this parable in point:
Paragould, one of the minor American cities
situated in Arkansas, and there concealed from the
public eye until it won prominence in an hour by
enacting reform legislation, has determined to
purify itself by sending its citizens to bed at a
respectable hour 1t has passed an ordinance for
bidding residents of Paragould or strangers within
the gates to appear upon the streets after midnight
and before o'clock in the morning A vioator
of the ordinance, without excuse sufficient in
the opinion of the police, will be capped in the
calaboose, there to await the next session of the
city court. If he not satisfy the court that he
had good reason for being abroad when the rest
of the citizens of Paragould were abed baying the
with the honest snore that bespeaks clean
conscience, he will be fined or sent to the work
house to learn regular and industrious habits
The Kentucky sage proceeds
Regulating personal conduct by laws and
ordinances and creating the various virtues by
legislation is the idosyncrasy Of the times One
crusade is waged to prevent gentleman from 3
joining friend in drinking juep Another
aims at preventing from backing his judg-
ment upon horse race. A law to put all and
surdrv to bed is logical

in which he says concerning the prosody OF one OF
his quatrains that I quoted last week
As flowers" being monosyllable Tom

"Flow'r and bow'r may pass muster" The die

SURVIVAL OF THE LEAST FIT

Consider the extensive and ever increasing body
of laws by which the several states have in recent
years set themselves to reverse the processes OF
evolution by which hitherto the immaterial. irrelc-
want and incompetent citizen has been permitted
to eliminate himself with the help of his pleasant
vices To that law of evolution due the gradual,
il slow, improvement of the human race. Our 1egis-
ators have now set themselves of deliberate purpose
to reduce the average standard of humanity by
seeking to preserve the inferior types from the
effects of their weakness. In fne they seek to
repeal law of nature, and they will discover that
it can't be done If you take his slot machine away
from the fool he will quickly discover the dice box.
AS the Los Angeles philosopher remarked, this is
free country"-in spots. Besides, this legislation
is flying in the face OF providence, and therefore

A Life Of Good Works

A few days ago, to be exact. on
the twentieth Of January, resident
OF Helena, a man whose work in
this state has been as far-reachino,
for good as that Of any who has re-
sided in its confines, celebrated the
SEVENTEEN anniversary Of his birth.
The celebrant was Leigh E Brewer,
bishop Of the Protestant EPISCOPAL
diocese Of Montana. Few knew, even
among the communicates Of his
church, that this man who has given
the best years Of his life to the SER
vice OF his adopted state, had reach
ed the age Of three score and ten.
When Bishop Brewer celebrated
the SEVENTEEN anniversary Of his
birth ne had passed by less than a
month the twenty-eighth anniver-
sary Of his elevation to the bishopric
in Montana Looking back over
these years, they stand out as the
most momentous in the history of
the state. They have seen Montana
born into statehood. they have wit
messed the mining camp give way to-
the modern city, they have seen the
population grow from a few hundred
to many thousands, the waste places
have been filled, and more than ali
they have witnessed law and order
firmly entrenched and the work of
the church and Christianity grow
and expand and become the CONTROL
ing influences.
In this work Of Transformation.
and it has been nothing less, no man
has played more conspicuous part
than Leigh r. Brewer. Taking no
his duties as bishop when but a
little past forty, filled with the vigor
OF perfect manhood and an enthus-

The Chronicle was misled into
publishing last week an account
of double wedding supposed to
have taken place at Del Norte
but which never occurred. 1t was
stated that James Shawcroft and
Myron Guymon had welded two
most estimable young ladies of
Sanford at Del Norte while as
matter of fact the yonng people
were at Alamosa for the basket
ball games and never left the city
during their stay there The infor-
nation upon which the article was
based was furnished by Gerald
Shawcroft, brother of James, who
was himself deceived and came IL
miles Wednesday night to attend
the wedding dance. The story
was confirmed by "A number of
people who heard the young men
declare their marriage and The
ChEonicle can hardly be blamed
for accepting their statements as
true. The story was, doubtless,
originated as a youthful prank,
and no disgrace attaches as the

spreading false report and would
much rather miss a dozen good
