NOT EVERY ENLIGHTENED
THOUGHT IS SOCIALISTIC.

II is a singular fact that some per
sons cannot take calm view OF chang
ing conditions. Any departure from
the established line Of thought or the
accustomed course of action seems 10
such persons a radical step, always an
occa sion for alarm.
Much Is being said in these days
about "tbe spread of socialism, which,
being interpreted according to the
ideas Of the alarmists. signifies bloody
revolution and chaotic state. Every
new thought along enlightened and
progressive lines Is promptly branded
"socialistic." and, therefore. dangerous
BY way of example, New York
pastor-the Rev j. Wesley Hill by
ua;nc-has been 1sying the group he
calls socialists, these including pro.
grcssive thinkers of every sort. HC
draws no distinction between the MAJ
OF high intelligence. of radical, ideal.
istic views. and the other, whose miser.
able life permits him 10 think OF
rotning but revenge to be procured by
murder and assassination.
Hear the man from New York:
The SO iaIistIc movement is perme.
ated with discomfort and class hatred
/ The leaders present a diShearteniul
picture of life TO the tOlleT, striving
10 poison his mind against the EN-
I plOyer by picturing him as q vampire
| feeding upon the lie blood Of nj;
! helpless victims
There are men who are spreading
this sort of doctrine. who are preach
! ing sedition and revolution, but In,
preacher errs when he seeks to put
into this class, as he apparently at
tempts to do, all those whose enlight
ened views upon social, religious. anC
political subjects are discordant only u
those unable to appreciate that "dc
world do move"
No. this country is not progressing
/ toward a socialism such a. the New
Nork preacher depicts; it l. moving
away from IT. But the truth is that
bv whatever name it be called, an in
teliigent new thought has gripped TIT
nation and is carrying it forward t.
better things, to healthier and Z
hoEer state. Perhaps. in the process
. the time-staincd musty ideas of cen
Z turtles ago are passing into nothing

BRIGHT DAYS FOR SONS OF

The top of the morning to you'll It's
a fine day on which to celebrate the
memory of the patron saint Of Ireland.
Likewise it's fitting that the sons of
Ireland should bring their celebration
up to date and feel encouraged because
Of the. accomplishments of the past
year.
There is no class of aliens coming
to our shores which enters more en-
Enthusiastically and earnestly into the

the leaders OF the Irish party to carry

Ireland Is met with a generous re-
Spouse in the United States, and it is
only fair to say that whatever success
has attended the efforts of the Irish
leaders in parliament has been made
possible. in a large measure, by the
contributions OF those who. although
loyal Americans, are still intensely in

Never before have the Irish been in
better position to enforce its VIII on

Tales Gathered
In the Capital

9 ENATOR ELMER ]. BURkETT has
- suddenly discovered that his cigar
bill is growing 10 enormous proportions
and he is in search for an explanation
The Senator is just on the eve Of a
campaign for reelection TO the Senate
Up to date, however, the campaign has
been conducted from his offices In
Washington and he has not yet put in
a stock Of campaign smokes.
IT the Senator does not know why ne
is buying more cigars today than he
did month ago some Of his friends do
and they are enjoying, not only the
situation. but also the cigars. Recently
a friend Of the Senator dropped into
his office for social talk He had been
there but a few moments when he
pulled out box Of cigarettes. The
senator eyed the cigarettes suspiciOusly-
'Haye>a cigar please" he said.
"Oh, ] prefer a cigarette" his friend
answered.
This is a very excellent cigar re-
marked the Senator, " and l really wish
you would try it,"
The cigar was accepted The next
time the friend went TO Rurkctts Office
he was again compelled 10 abandon his
cigarette I'm favor Of One or the Senator
lal cigars. Suddenly IL daWned on MIN
that the statesman from the plains OF
Nebraska dislikes cigarettes intensely
and almost 20 the point Of dislikinS
those who use them. he told the story
around the Capitol. and now Senator
Burkett is being confronted almost
hourly by some friend who begins the
conversation by offering him cigar
cite.
81 don't smoke them" me Senator
with me"
Formerly the Senator found Il pos
sible 10 keep a box OF cigars In his
office and load up his pockets before
going TO the Capitol each day. Now
the outEo is so large that he has a box
IN both places. But ne has not learned
yet why ne Is getting rid Of more
cigars than formerly.

THE GRE At ISSUES BEFORE

that 1t will declare with the definite

Sherman antitrust law mems and
what shall be done with the great bust

NEED FOR GOVERNMENT
OWNED BUILDINGS IN
WASHINGTON.

Congress could have no more force
full illustration Of the need OF a bond
issue to be used i'm the erection Of
governmental buildings in Washington
than is presented in the report of the
Secretary Of the Treasury. Nearly
half q million dollars is being spent an
nually in rentals,
That is an enormous sum 10 be paid
at the seat Of the nation for the incon-
venience of having its bureaus and de
partmeHts scattered here, there, and
everywhere. The Department Of Com
merce and Labor is quite homeless, and
because of that fact the Government
must pay over $4,000 a year until it
is provided with its own quarters.
The Department of Justice is homeless,
and It's rent bin each year is over
$4,000 Practically all Of the exccu-
tive departments of the Government
are paving rent. Even the Senate,
with its magnificent office building,
finds 1t necessary 20 pay rent.
It j. high time that Congress made
provision for the construction OF build
incs on q scale which will enable the
Government TO take care of an Of its
departments i'm q manner beftting the
dignity Of tie nation. Half a million
a year for rentals is waste of money

There is to be a legal fight at
Fort Collins over the power OF
that town to pass and enforce an
ordinance prohibiting statesmen
or others from soliciting orders
for Intoxicating liquors to be filled
by wholesale houses elsewhere.
Fort Collins is a dry town. but 1t
is contended that its powers in
dealing with the sale of liquor
are defined specifically by statute
and that it can not go beyond the
power granted by state law. The
law permits it to regulate or pro-
hibit the sale or giving away OF
these liquors. but it is contended
that there is no power to prohibit
solicitation to purchase. 1t Is
said the case will be carried to
the supreme court for a final de-
cision.
