The Rev. Henry NJ. Couden is chap
lain of the House of Representatives
at Washington, and he is falling into
the habit. of saying things things
that make the members smile, in his
morning supplication. On Tuesday he
vcntured to deliver the following:

Thy holy name for the upward look.

the forward movement which charac-
terizes our age in spite of the alarm,

erous. highminded, sincere preacher
that their tribes may increase. and
lead us onward to yet greater attain
ments.'
After this manner pray even the
muckrakers themselves, and most
people of sound and discriminating
taste laugh at them Just as the mem
! bers of the House laughed at Brother
couden the other day. If the empty

er is to be continued. we would sug-
gest that committee on style be
appointed to sit during the recess and
prepare a special form TO be used by
the chaplains of the two Houses. This

| Collector Loeb went to New York to
| make trouble, and he has made 1T. An
nouncing before he took office that
there was reason TO believe that the
customs laws were not being rigidly
enforced, he declared his purpose OF
cleaning up his Office. He has done it,
but he has done a good many other
things which showed more zeal than
discretion.
When Mr.. Loeb was under fire last
summer one of the charges brought
against his force b. returning travel
ers was that they were subjected TO all
manner of indignities by the officers on
the piers. There was particular protest
against the Jostlingn or pushing" of
customs officers, who played the pick
pocket in their efforts TO prevent
smuggling More than one irate trav-
eler declared that his pockets had been
racd, and several raised a storm by
scizing The hands of men who were in
the act of examining the contents Of
their coat pockets. AIr. Loeb. if we
recall correctly, distinctly denied this
charge and declared that while he in
tended to enforce the law he would
not resort to espionage.

of the United States Government re-
mains the same and he lets the matter
rest there. He laid down the law IN
his long letter to Rodriguez last
December and he does not propose to

peats now. that this Government does
not recognize either Madriz or Gstra-
da as the head of a stable Govern
ment, and he consequently will not
decide between them.
In the meantime, conditions have

ty. He says that the Government rec
ognized Estrada as in control of Blue

nit Madriz's officers to collect duties

MOVING PICTURES IN EDUCATION

a
The Charlotte Observer seconds the
motion of Mayor Seidel, of Milwaukee,
that moving, picture shows be estab-
lished in all the public schools, be-
cause they could be turned to eH-
ceedingly effective educational pur-
poses. They are largely used in the
Sunday Schools and would be an
equally good agency in the public
| schools The popularity OF the NOV
ing picture does not wane." Certainly
not in Charlotte a year ago there

agencies in the independence town and

Nights, their train robberies in Kan
sas, their ballet performances, their
