summer it was my pleasure to lunch
with Louis Brandeis and his wife and
daughter at their modest summer
home in Massachusetts. Through a
friend 1 learned one thing about
Brandeis that was new to me, and
which increased my respect for him
greatly. Just little story, but here
it is:
When Brandeis got married he and
his wife agreed that he should
give one-quarter of his time to the
public service. AS the head of a big
Boston law firm he has since learned
that he doesn't need to use so much
of his time for himself, and has gone
fifty-fifty with the public and gives
half of his time to the public service.
Brandeis is another of the nations
modest big men who know the joy
of service. l believe the number is
growing.

UNITY OLE CHI1RCHEs.

Too much significance cannot be
placed in the meeting of representa-
tives of the Protestant churches Of
North America, held last week
at Garden City, N. Y. The confer
ence has for its ultimate purpose
church unity. Its immediate plans
are to call world conference on
Faith and Order at which an attempt
will be made to formulate the essen
tial Christian doctrines upon which
all denominations can agree.
Just how far the churches hope to
go in union of denominations is
not clear, but there is one field in
which great good can be done thru
cooperation. That is in the smaller
towns of the country where desperate
efforts are made each year to keep
up three or four churches where
there are scarcely enough people tc
support one church.
We have in mind n score of com.
munities with population of fror
100 to 700 with four churches. Ever
some of the larger towns with popu
Iation Of three or four thousand are
overburdened with ten to twelve
many Of which can scarcely pay {
minister a decent ware. We nigh
mention Durango in this list
When the Protestant denomination!
can get together sufficiently to agre,
on one church in the small town.

ment in the cause of Christianity.

SELECTING A VICE PRESIDENT.

Political parties in the United
States are engaged in the quadrennial
occupation of picking out second rate
statesman for the first class job of
vice president.
In spite OF the fact that over ono
fourth of the presidents of this coun-
try have either served as vice presi-
dents and were later elected to the
first Office OF succeeded TO the presi-
dency thru the death Of their chief
the electorate continues to consider
the presidential running mate as n
vote getter or n speech maker.
1t is inconceivable that the man
who may be called upon at moments
notice TO assume the highest and most
responsible position ia a nation of
a hundred million people, should re-
ceive SO little attention either before
or after election.
President Wilson indicated desire
at one time, it is said. to have his
vice president sit in cabinet meetings,
that he might become acquainted with
the problems of government. He never
did so. 1t would make the vice presi-
dent u more efficient presiding Off
Ger In the senate, his only duty at
present, and at the same time put
him in condition for possible emer-
