pleasurable occasion. 1t demonstrated
the purpose of the business men to act

There ought to be more of these

If they do nothing else, they show to
the Senators and Representatives who

''Theologic dyestuffs' are tiring the

The sermon was the third OF series

which DR.. Montgomery bases upon let
ters he has received from business and
professional men.
.'The religion Of Jesus is not a cata-
logue Of ideas" he said. The best self
hood is not interpreted in creeds. Chris
tianity Is being indicated by conduct
and life. Its greatest proof Is dynami-
cal rather than logical. Deed tells more

suasive than catechism. Art Thou He

G.P. O. BRANCH IN WEST
. PLAN OF DEMOCRATS
New Administration 10 Consider Prop
osition, Which, 1t Is Claimed, will
Bring About Big Saving.

4 proposition to establish a branch OF
the Government Printing oface in some
Western city will be one OF the things
considered by the Democratic admlnis-
tration.
1t Is claimed. and figures are produced
to show it, that a vast sum OF money
can be saved TO the government by hav-
ing a proper distribution of the heavy
amount of printing done, and that large
curtailment can be saved in transporta-
ton of public documents.
For instance, the Agricultural Year
Book, of which there are several hun
dred thousand printed and distributed
from Washington. costs about one-third
more TO get into the hands OF the peo-
Pile than it would if there were branch
government printing offices, say, on the
Pacific Coast and in Chicago.
The copy could be sent out TO the
Pacific Coast for about q cents postage,
and after being printed the book. could
be distributed on the Coast and the In
termountain States at a great saving
OF mail charges which the railroads now
get from the government.
In this connection some OF the newly
elected Senators and members of Con-
gress who are not only newspaper own
ers but practical printers as well are
LOOKING INTO tHe SSsltIu III EOBue lnt
printing affairs of the Federal govern
ment.
There is a printing establishment in
nearly all of the large departments in
Washington. and experts venture the
opinion that the cost of getting out pub
lie printing is greater to a very cOnsid-
cradle extent than what it costs TO get
printing done at private establishments
Reports of agricultural experiment sta
tions from all over the Union are sent
in to Washington to be printed and then
returned as a document to far-away
communities.
The proposition is to have the people
and the government. at least so far as
printing is concerned. brought nearer to-
gether. Irrigation reports from the arid
regions of Arizona and New Mexico are,
of course, of general interest, and are
called for from probably every State in
the Union, but in the immediate vicin-
ity of the plants and dams 1t is pointed
out that there is double the demand for
this kind of government literature than
from anywhere else. The same situation
exists relative 10 other field and forest
publications of the government
