"A Happy Thought. III Book It. "

Whose first thought of it we do not
know. but the idea Of having weekly
song fest is good one, and we give it
our hearty endorsement. The propo-
sition is to get the people together once
a week, either in the park, or if the
river bank, opposite the dam, should
be deemed better, then there, for the
purpose Of singing popular and we'll
known songs, religious, patriotic and
any other of the old airs, such as My
Old Kentuckey Home" and others.
It is proposed to get lot OF music
specially adapted for this purpose and
have the band Join in. 1t is also pro-
posed to have some twenty or thirty,
the more the better, meet occasionally
for practice, and have the choir lead in
the singing, but the idea is to have
everybody join in. Only simple, well
known airs will be sung.
Singing forms large part OF German
life and accounts in large measure
for the affinity OF the German nation.
Every German city has its sangerfest and
every village its sangerbund. Nothing
so much as singing together softens
petty antagonisms. Singing makes oil
churl a goodnatured, companionable
fellow. Why, we've seen sourfaced
man stand around where bunch oil
fellows were singing, just plain singing,
and directly you'd see his features be-
gin to soften, and he'd join in the
chorus. The best singer on earth
can't strike a chord while in temper.
Try to sing sometime when you're mad.
The extreme oddly of the attempt may
tickle you into a tuneful mood, but SO
long as your cholar lasts you can't sing
By all means let's get together and
sing. Everybody sing. If you have
troubles you'll forget them. Drown
them in song. 1t will beat drowning
them in booze.
A few weeks ago the people of Ia
coma met in their stadium one Sunday,
eight thousand of them, and had song
fest, and it proved a great success and
is TO be followed by others.
Let's get together. The sooner and
oftener the better, and sing "America"
Let Little Sunshine In" and some
other oldtimey songs, and I'll warrant
you will leave with kindlier feeling in
your heart than when you came.

Make the Speed ManiaCs Obey the Law

There is a city ordinance making it
an offense to drive an auto or motor
cycle thru the streets at a rate OF speed
faster than twelve miles an hour. This
law is violated every day. We have
seen men, women and children hurry
to get out of the way of these machines.
Our attention has also been called
TO this matter by women OF the town.
So far we have been fortunate. No
accidents have occurred. But it is
only matter of time until some child,
woman or man will be run over. Then
the people will get up in arms to have
the laws enforced, aud blame the po-
lice officers for failing TO do their duty.
Some drivers make speedway OF the
streets and laugh when someone runs
to get out of the way. They think it's
funny to make 'em run to get out oil
the way. Doubtless they do not know
that the law gives pedestrians the first
right to the streets. According to law
the auto and motorcycle must get Out
of the way Of those who walk on the
streets. Not in the middle OF the
street, but in crossing from one curb
to the other the pedestrian has the frs'
and best right.
See that the speed law is enforced
If the police officers will not enforce
it, ask the mayor to make them enforce
the law or suspend them. School viii

streets will be full Of children The

If the president would intimate to
his attorney general that his resignation
would be acceptable it would be a
great stroke of policy and relieve the
administration of man in whom the
country has lost confidence. Mercy
holds should go. If he has not been
touched by the invisible government
it will yet be hard for him to convince
the country to the contrary.

A Great Bund of lawmakers

The last Legislature passed two tax
regulation laws that refer to cities OF
the third class. One day the
governor signed bill allowing
cities of the third class to levy
fifteen mill tax, and the next
day he signed a bill prohibiting the
same cities from levYing more than ten
mills. When the matter came before
the supreme court that body very
properly held, owing to the conflict in
the law, that the law signed the Sec
ond day repealed the law signed the
first day. OF the thirty-six cities in the
third class in this state thirty-two vio-
lated the law in levying over ten mills,
and are subject to suit for tax rebate
by every taxpayer. Leavenworth lev
led 15H mills. An effort is now be-
ing made to have the governor call an
extra session of the Legislature so that
law may be passed giving these cities
the right to exceed the ten mill levy.
The legislature and its two special legal
advisors, and the governor and his one
special legal advisor, all blundered.
Looks a good deal like a plunderbund.
No, blunderbund.

Smashing Financial Idols

Mr.. c. S. Mellen, ex-president Of
the New Haven railroad. says he will
not longer stand for the obloquy
heaped on him by the press and pub
lie and proposes to tell all he knows
about the inside facts in relation to the
financial juggling in connection with
the New Haven railroad. From what
he has already told Public Prosecutor
Folk some high-ups will be smirched.
Men that have hitherto been looked
upon as winter than snow" who gave
literally to the church, to charitable
institutions, that occupied front seats
in the synagogue of religion and fl
nance, will be thrown down and fall
in the mire. 1t will be an awful
shock to society when these idols are
shattered. United States Attorney
General McReynolds, in trying to pre-
vent the Mellen disclosures on the
ground that it would proven this future
prosecution, laid himself open to the
charge of having been tempered with.
No doubt there were high-ups ready to
move heaven and earth to prevent the
disclosures. The New Haven railroad
scandal was known to be dirty, but the
half has never yet been told"

The Hebrew prophet declared four
thousand years ago that it was at diff
cult for a man to pass thru the eye of
needle as for rich man to enter the
gates of Heaven. Was the parable
founded on the prophets experience
with the Morgans and Rockefellars of
that period?
The Colorado mine owners employed
gun men and had them enrolled in the
the state militia to help guard the
mines. The men are fighters. To
kill is their business profession. They
took their employment seriously and
evidently thought the more they killed
the better their employers would be
satisfied. The military commission,

banks, members Of the Colorado mill

port that the burning of the tent col
ony and the killing Of women and chill
