urday.

Church going is an old fashioned
habit which would be more useful
if it had the long, wiry roots of the
alfalfa plant. The trouble with so
much modern church going is that
it diesnt strike deep enough to get
people out to the divine service on
a rainy Sunday, while the golf links
and the ball game will drag them
from home in the face Of cloud
burst.
Years ago one of the most popular
ways of spending Sunday was to go
to church and listen to a sermon with
a handspring longer than a Water
bury watch. Nobody stayed away
from church on Sunday morning UNI
less he was totally paralyzed or the
church had been burned down, the
night before In those days church,
going was duty which nobody could
escape unless he had contracted diph-
-tueria in both tonsils, and as a result
ihe minister was not obliged to look
into the faces of cold, empty peWs
and yawning profiles, as is so often
the case today.
There was a great deal of whole
souled church going in this country
up to the time when the installment
plan automobile rose above the sur
rounding scenery and began to con-
sumo gasoline, tires and storage
batteries in rank pr0fusion. There
is something about an automobile
which removes a mans mind from
the church and everything else ex-
cept the cost of upkeep. After an ac-
tive church goer has owned an auto
mobile for a few weeks and come in
contact with its massive and ceaseless
appetite, he will be in no frame of
mind to go to church and greet the
semi-annual missionary collection. He
will be more inclined to retire to
some quiet nook and finger his check
stubs with a trembling hand.
although every inGucement is be-
ing held out to increase church going,
it is not necessary to reserve seats in
advance. The church attendant is
now offered filtered music by de-
termined solo quartet and the sci non
has been boiled down until it is a
mere skeleton of the old time dis
course with self-Winolng attachment.
In the evening there are free motion
pictures and cornet solo, and yet
people prefer to stay away and listen
to the music of a grabbing clutch.
If people would do their joy riding
after the morning services they would
be better prepared to meet the shift
ing scenes of life, especially when
they shift into an open ditch at for
ty-fve miles an hour.-Howard Ram.

commended, entirely unaware that her machine

The distinguished senator from Colorado
might have put it much more succinctly. He
might have stated that if congressman could
break themselves of the habit of crowding
around the pork barrel, there might be a small

breaking themselves of the habit would prob
ably be fatal to the old-line bunch, the posi-
bility of really economical Congress is pre-
cisely as remote as the millennium.

WHO'S TO BLAME.

Senator Charles S. Thomas of Colorado APP
pears to have made,an epoch-making discovery.
He has found out why Congress is invariably
extravagant a.
Recently he enlightened the upper house as
follows;
Il have noticed, Mr. President, during my
somewhat short experience in this chamber
that the two great parties of the country alter
nate in accusing each other of extravaganza
in the administration of public affairs. am
conscious also that in each instance the accu-
sation is we'll founded. had hoped that, in
view Of the change of administration which
took place on the 4th of March, 1913, the ma
iority Of Congress would appreciate the i'm
portance of minimizing public expenses wher-
ever and whenever possible and of making a
record which would commend itself both to
is friends and to its opponents. But; Mr..
President, have long since reached the con
clusion that extravaganza in fiscal administra-
ton is something for which no party is di-
rectiy ind solely responsible The party advo-
eating protection is largely, though perhaps
Indirectly, so. The people of the United States
are more and more coming to depend, and
therefore to make demands upon the national
treasury for financing various purposes never
anticipated nor comprehended in the expe-
riences: of those who organized the government
AS each locality has multiplying interests of
its own for which it desires appropriations, so
individuals, increasing in number, are con-
stantly clamoring for fiscal recognition through
the agency of special bills. Consequently,
there seems to be no end to these accommodating
extravagances until the people shall themselves
not only make demand but by their conduct
and cooperation see to it that the demand is
obeyed.
81 have, therefore, Mr.. President, reached
the conclusion, as before stated, that extrava-
gance in the administration of the financial
affairs of the government is a national disease,
for which constituencies are largely if not
wholly responsible.
"But am equally convinced, Mr.. President,
that this growing extravaganza, this vast in
crease of appropriations is the logical result
of that system of protection with which men
and women are chloroformed and then robbed
by indirection. Their consciousness of the ex-
tent to which the burden of taxation is placed
upon them is dulled and deadened by the fact
that the taxation is indirect, and the interests
which have been builded up, which are founded
upon and which support the party advocating
the policy necessarily encourage, directly or
indirectly, all these increasing expenditures to

Colorado brewers have voluntarily agreed te
help enforce the new prohibition law. That is
much more to the point than bucking it, as the
liquor, men of Washington attempted to do
only to lose The whole position of the liquor
interests has been that the majority should
rule that the personal liberty Of the ma
jority should not be curtailed to suit the ideas
of the minority. Consequently, when the
minority changes into majority and votes the
booze joints out of business, the liquor men
should be the first to recognize that the decision
of the majority Is the governing decision, and
it is up to all good citizens to cooperate in en-
forcing the law. -.
