The Wesley house is then>a settlement -
and a Settlement is a home-a place
where experimental efforts are made to
aid in the solution of the social and in
dustrial problems which are engendered
by the modern conditions of life in a
great city. 1t must have the power of
fleXihiity and of quick adaptation in its
methods to the demands made by it's en-
vironment 1t must keep itself facile and
unincumbered This settlement is so
placed that it can easily lcok every way,
but never loses sight of the fact that its
duty is to look always toward the loss
favored classes.
so long as l seek liberty for myself
alone it win prove a misleading phantom,
for my true self is a social self and can
not be achieved in isolation"
Now does this appear eXtravagant, is
il not simple?
Now listen and you shall hear of our
experience at the Wesley house within
the last week and our experience may be
yours almost any day that you will fol-
low the simple directions given above.

An Old-Time Sunday

From the London Chronicle.
The sixteenth century practice of the
elders in Scotland of going the rounds to
pick up offenders against Sunday rules
survived until the eighteenth century.
Mr.. Thomsan, in his ''Weavers' Craft
gives details of the bag: ''The minister
himself would make the rounds to spy
with his own eyes the sins of the ab-
sentees. Here one man is found romp-
ing with his BARNS; another detected kiss-
ing his wife: two men were found drink
ing ale, and one was found with his coat
off. as if he were going to work; and
still another was seen eating hearty
dinner. All were pulled up before the
session of the kirk and 'repentances' en-
forced upon each" And now one can un-
derstand the wherefore of the drawn
blind on the Sabbath, which struck James
Payn as astonishing in the Edinburgh Of
the sixties.

Have you heard about the Wesley house
and the work it is doing? If not, 1t is
worth your while to learn about it, or
better still it is well worth a visit. 1t is
situated at 14o4 Avenue Fl. Ensley, near
the Moore school. Visitors travelling via
Tidewater line would find it convenient
to leave the car at Avenue II and Seven
teenth street, and walk north three
blocks.
At the introduction of this subject It
may be well TO tell you, in a paragraph,
what the Wesley house is.
It is not an institution. nor a great phil
anthropy, but a simple home where
cleanliness and the beatty of common
things. recreation, information and the
love of correct living might enter in and
become an inspiration. that now desires
might be created.

BLOOMINGTON HAD
fine STREET PARADE

Editor Examiner. While enroute
Fish Haven on the Fourth, just
my family and | stopped in
Bloomington to see their street
parade, and it was SO exceptionally
good that cannot forego the pleas
ure of referring to-it in this public
way. l have never seen better or
more creditable parade in Bear
Lake county, and we have givea
some very good ones in Montpelier.
It would have done credit to any
town in the inter-mountain country
and the people of Bloomington are
deserving of special commendation
for the work and efforts put forth
in producing it. The floats were
everyone handsomely and tastefully
decorated and drawn by horses that
would have looked all right In any
of the large circus parades of the
country. The young ladies and
children deserve special mention
for they were prettily costumed and
all carried out their different part
perfectly. The other towns in tn,
county will have something to do u
beat II another year.

BOISE ASSAY OFFICE
WILL NOT CLOSE

Washington, d. O., July Thru
the efforts of Senator Brady an APP
of 1920 is carried in
the Legislative Appropriation bill
for continuing the operation of the
Boise assay Office for the fiscal year
beginning July 1st. 1914. This Is
the same amount which was approp-
rated last year; tho slightly less
than the amount which Senator
Brady sought to secure. The house
of representatives made a stubborn
fight to close the assay Office al
Boise, as well as the offices at Hell
ena, Salt Lake and other western
cities.
Senator Brady insisted in tn
Senate and before the conference
committee that the Boise assay of
flee was of so much Importance Z

prevailed, the miners OF Idah

GOVERNOR REMOVES
GAME WARDEN

Last Friday Governor Haines re-
moved from office State Game War
den o. H. Barber and named Jess
B. Gowan Of Caldwell in his stead.
No statement has yet been given
out by the governor regarding the
affair, but it has generally been un-
derstood for some time that the
governor entertained notions that
Barber was politically active for
other than the Haines interests.
The removal Of Warden Barber
is said to be wholly political and re-
sulting from differences between
the governor and himself. At the
time Barber was a candidate for
and claimed to have the promise of
appointment as a member Of the
public utilities commission, but the
political lineup in Boise being some
thing Of peculiar quantity he was
asked to take the game warden ap-
pointment, and did so. His origina
candidacy was for immigration com
missioner, but he abandoned that il
favor of Major Reed, and owing t.
Barber's strong support and efficient
work in behalf of Haines for gov
ernor, it was conceded that he wa
entitled to any position within tn
governors gift. Barber was tn
original Haines man in this state.
Recently it has been charged tina
: he was active in the interests Of .
] w. Davis of American Falls, an
: later with promoting the interest
of M. E. Lewis of Moscow. for tn
D nomination for governor. Some
+ his deputies are charged with tn
same political activity.

WORK STARTS ON
BIC PAVING JOB
Dunnigam & Masters Now Lay
ing Brick in &c, 900 Square.
Yards Paving Contract.

Work on the biggest paving job OF
the year, in the Twenty-seventh street
district, by Dunnigan & Masters, has
reached the stage of brick laying.
Workmen were today assigned to
place the first of the $4,000 square
yards of brick that is being used for
the improvement. They commenced
at Twenty-ninth street and Ninth ave-
nue. With good weather prospects the
contractors will be able to push the
work along with vigor during the sum-
mer, although it will probably not be
entirely completed before the first of
December.
Lyle Payton, city engineer, this
morning made an inspection of the
concrete paving work in the alley be-
tween Fourth and Fifth avenue be-
tween Twelfth and Fourteenth streets.
The use of concrete as a paving ma
terial is coming into more and more
prominence all over the country and
the city engineer is interested in the
work being done here, the first of its
kind in Moline.
