CUSTOMS or THE COMMONS
Billie In Bath British Houses of Par.
llament That Tend to Keep the
Memory Green.

There Is no other building in the
United Kingdom where the daily Gus
toms observed are SO full Of interest
as in the house Of commons, says q
writer in London Tit-Bits. Many peo.
pie who sit in the gallery fail to see
in the various forms links which bind
us to events Of centuries ago. But II
the visitor is willing to find out the
significance Of what he sees, he will
enter into world of inexhaustible ro-
nance.
II, for instance, he is present on the
first day of a session, he will notice
that, before the clerk at the table
reads out the business printed on the
order paper, he calls out "outlawry
BILL" which is thereupon considered to
have been read a first time, and the
house passes on to its appropriate
business.
It Is the symbol which marks the
victory Of parliament long years ago
In it's claim to consider whatever bust
ness it likes without interference by
the crown. So, in the first day Of ev-
cry session, before parliament pro-
ceeds to consider the business for
which 1t has been called together, it
turns aside to give first reading to
the outlawry bill.
The same curious rite takes place
In the house of lords at the beginning
of each session, but in this case the
bill which is read first time is called
"select vestries," and 1t Is considered
Immediately after the kings speech
has been read. No one knows what
the outlawry bill or the select vestries
bill is, but they stand for the suprem-
acy of parliament.

MUST BUY WAR
BONDS

II it were not necessary to gather
money from the entire populace of
our nation to carry on the big fight
In Europe the nation would not go
to the expense and trouble Of putting
the bonds before the people. 1t would
be an easy matter, perhaps, to COM
mandeer the deposit boxes Of few
rich corporations take out the cash
and coupons and carry on the war.
1t may be that the rich people Of the
country would put up enough money
to at least start the war. These
things hang in the mind vaguely, and
there is apt to be a doubt as to how
much good it would do the nation for
one man out in Idaho, say, to step
up and buy a $50 or 500 bond.
Charles E. Harris spoke finely on
this subject at the civic league sup
per Thursday evening, and addressed
himself chiefly to the patriotic senti-
ments of Bingham county citizens,
urging that false security must be
avoided.
1--WE are really in serious war,
and none of us knows to what
lengths it will go before it is done.
Let us not think that because we
danger we are not concerned in the
are far from the action and the
danger we are not concerned in the
success of raising the national loan.
It is as much our interest as 1t is
any ones that this war be won. What
is needed first is money, and many
of us are unable to offer the nation
anything but financial service. The
United States needs money to win
this war; the United States has al
ways raised money and plenty of it
in such a crisis, and we have got to
do it this time"
Mr.. Harris expressed the feelings
of the average thoughtful American.
Each community's pride will be at
stake in the matter of money rails
ing Eevry man who puts up money
in the cause will have an added in
terest in his country, as he feels an
added Importance to it, the import
ance of individual service. Wars to
be successfully financed, must be
financed by popular subscription.

THE PEOPLE
CHOOSE

CONSUMPTION Of the people by the
people represents democracy raised
to It's most glorious stage. America
Is doing something never in the
world tried before. There was never
o situation such as that of the United
States today.
Here is a nation going to war with
out fuss, but just sober, full de-
termination to beat the most gigantic
military resistance ever presented to
the world. In order to use every re-
source of the nation the people have
volunteered as a body, each single
person therein to do what he is best
equipped to do. We are not forced
to CONSUMPTION to raise men. We have
chosen It as the most efficient way
for us all to give our service. Such
a unified action ON the part of one
hundred million people had not been
dreamed of as possible.
Some Kansas editor bawls out in
the old-time slap-dash war fashion
that CONSUMPTION is an imputatiOn on
our patriotism. 1t Is precisely the
opposite. CONSUMPTION by the will
OF the people is the most perfect ex-
preston of patriotic devotion. And
we are proud of our legislators for
going the limit.
The selective draft system is no
makeshift. 1t is the common sense
method for, a peaceful nation to
adopt, when war comes. In its de-
liberate completeness it is deadly to
opposition.
AS a scientific business war is to-
day the most highly developed sys-
tenn in the world. War can not now
be entered on the run, nor battle won
by war cry and 100 yard dash.
America has elected to do the job
up right.
Without engaging in the great
combat Americans have had the
brains to follow the game, and they
realize that success depends not only
upon universal service but upon uni
versal fitness. There must be no
laundering management, and no mis-
fits Each man in the country must
be skilfully appointed to his par
ticular task.
We have placed our best men in
leadership and made them respons-
ible for using us one and all to the
nations best ultimate advantage. We
have offered ourselves in body for
such service, and our offer is a tri-
umph of pure democracy. Self i'm
posed national service is a sign that
autocracy over the water Is doomed.

BACCALAUREATE SERVICES

The baccalaureate services, held
Sunday night, May 10, were most
impressive and helpful and deeply
appreciated by the very large crowd
there. The 35 young graduates, rob-
ed in gray caps and gowns and &C
companied by the teachers, who have
made the past years pleasant and
profitable, marched into the auditor
ium to the strains of Onward
Christian Soldiers" After the pray
ers by the Rev. Bensen and an
nouncements by the Rev. CLANCY a
sacred anthem was sung by the high
school chorus, members of the gra-
duating class taking the lead.
That the chorus, under the direc-
ton of Miss Davidson has made re-
markable progress, all present last
night know. Rev. CLANCY introduce
ed Rev Dickinson, of Pocatello, who
had been selected to deliver the bac-
calaureate sermon. From the moment
he took his stand and looked into
the faces of his audience, he held
their interest spellbound. The text,
Watch thee, stand fast in faith,
QulC yOuTScll A1hS AUCu, uC cIiOA6,
needs no comment. Each of the four
parts were handled very completely
and the thoughts: Ever watchfulness
in order to improve ourselves before
we can hope to help others; faith and
confidence in mankind but first and
above all faith in Jesus Christ; &C.
quit our selves like real men and
women, and lastly be strong, not in
physical and animal courage but in
the strength of soul and character.
A plea against hypocrisy and sham
and for democracy and individuality
was made; in dealing with the third
phase of the text he emphasized the
necessity of honor for the teachers
and those who guide US, but great
est of all is the honor for mother,
let her be enshrined in our hearts
with holiness and love. 1t was appro-
pirate and applicable in every detail,
but il we were asked why 1t appealed
so greatly to each and every in
dividual we would say that its great
est charms lay in simplicity, con-
ciseness, and directness and force OF
delivery. During the services the
audience and the high school chorus
sang: "Jesus Calls Us Ger the Tu-
multi" "True-hearted, Whole-heart-
ed" and Come, Thou Almighty
King" The decorations, of potted
plants and ferns were very artistic.
Too from each auditorium light hung
decorations in the class colors OF
black and orange.

GREAT MEN USUALLY SILENT
Acknowledged Leaders of the Race
Have Been Content to Let Their
Deeds Speak for Them.

Genius has always been accompanied
by briefness Of speech, as may be seen
by the following list, remarks Lon
don Tit-Bits:
Napoleon rarely spoke when he could
avoid it, while Wellington was similar
ly Silent. Lord Kitchener was posi-
lively sphinxlike in his reserve, Lord
Palmerston was proverbially silent,
while William Pitt throughout his me-
teoric career was given to long periods
Of silence.
Sir Isaac Newton, world famous as a
scientist, rarely spoke save to answer
. question. Darwin wrote much, but
spoke little, while Lord Kelvin was
among the most mute of great men.
Authors are rarely great takers.
Tolstoi, the most amiable Of men, was
reserved in conversation, and at times
absolutely mute. Balzac, the great
French romanticist, when engaged in
thinking out a new work often passed
several days talking to no one but him
self.
Beethoven was reticent, Mozart spar
ing in his speech, while 1t is said Of
Chopin that he loved silence better
even than music, and Wagner, save
when discussing musical matters, was
silent even to the point of rudeness.
Among the most silent Of the worlds
great men were the late Lord Tenny-
son and Thomas Carlyle.
