THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF THE
HARDING INAUGURAL

The Inauguration of Warren Canal
Eel Harding as President of the United
States will mark, not only a first step
in the return of government according
to the Constitution in the political and
industrial life of the nation, but in the
spiritual life as well. On the Sunday
following his inauguration Mr.. Hard
ing will attend Divine services in Am
erica's Memorial church, which pend
ing the erection of the editice conse-
Grated to the memory of those who
gave their lives in the World War, is
holding its services in the Assembly
Room of the Wardman Park Hotel,
Washington.
The religious spirit exhibited by Mr..
Harding since his elevation to leader
ship of his party and of the Nation
mas made a profound impression upon
all believing men-it takes one back to
that unparalleled example. Abraham
Lincoln, whose implicit faith in the
'O~mnipotent and whose manifest fidel-
ity for religious principles and for the
right, made him the "Lincoln," the
memory of whom we hold as immortal.
On IRE day following his election, Mr..
Harding spoke humhly: at is all SO
serious" he said, 1.-THE obligations are
so solemn, that instead of eXulting, |
am more given to prayer to God to
male ne cCpable of playing my part"
Ar. I4alC!nG has expressed keen per
soh5' -Cl25t in the success Of Amer
ica'a emuriul Church. 1t is pan-ser-
tari%r In its scope. The idea appears
to have originated with George Wash
ington, for the first map Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, plotted by Major
L'En-ant under the direction of Wash
ington, made provisions for just such
an ediice which, in the words of the
Father Of our Country, was to be as
Signe! to no particular sect or denom-
inatioN, but equally open to all" 1t
is particularly significant at this time
that there should come a realization Of
this purpose Of George Washington.
For, it is to preserve the national in
dependence gained by Washington in
1888 that the people elected Mr.. Hard
ing in 1920, and the solem admonitions
of the former were the declarations of
faith of the latter.
This will perhaps be the first time
in the history of the nation that the
ceremonies of the inauguration of a
President eliminate in a religious SER
vice on the Sunday following the
fourth of March. The spiritual is to
be emphasized and the political riga.
doom which has characterized past in
augurals will be eliminated as per Mr..
Harding's special request for simple
ceremonies. The dignity and meaning
of prayer will supplant the follies of
sham and display.
March 9th is to be consecrated to the
purpose of invoking Divine guidance
for the Nations Chief Magistrate in
the colossal tasks he is about to as
sumo, and of the christening to the
servitude of mankind the great Me
mortal to those who died that this Ma
ton, under God, might p%erpetuate the
freedom and independence of "Amer-
ica."

LAW AND CONDUCT

One of the popular indoor sports
with us and the rest of our fellow
countrymen is passing laws. We elect
legislatures and congresses to pass
laws whereby many things are sought
to be regulated. We are taxed by
various bodies to whom we have given
partial control of vi pocket books, I'M
til a somewhat liberal slice of our in
come goes for the upkeep of our vast
governmental machinery.
But, what we started out to say, is:
Let's talk less about passing laws to
regulate this thing and that thing.
When we regulate by law the length of
a skirt, let US remember that some
other legislature may take a notion to
make us all go to prayer meeting
Wednesday evenings, and deny US a
round of golf on Sunday mornings.
There ought to be a law"-How
many times do we hear that express
sion. Ninety-nine times out of a hun
dred there ought not to be such. When
law covers crimes and the more ser
ious misdemeanors it ought to stop,
as a rule, for an attempt to over-reg-
ulate our conduct. stirs resentment and
breeds disrespect for law in general.
We do not need more law, but rather
a more rigid enforcement of those
laws which we already have. We do
not need further aimless, even though
well-meaning, legislation, but we do
need better men and women whose
virtue and hardihood and sound health
of mind an body will advance them I'M
der their own power. Let US rather
try to learn a little tolerance and
radiant good will. Let us teach the
things that help wherever we are. If
we who can. will-well, there will be a
whole lot Of laws that we don't need
to pass.

A Department of Education,

A bill before congress that is receiv-
ing wide attention and is of particular
interest to every one is that creating
a department of education. The bill
has been carefully drawn and has the
backing of the educators of our nation.
When we say that, we mean that the
great body of college men and women,
the great associations Of teachers in
u high schools and colleges and in
our common schools are united in push
ing this measure for it means much

creates a department of education with
a secretary at it's head, who shall be

Summer Auto Travel.

For it is just as certain as anything
a be that the people who travel and
are discouraged by the circumstances
as related, will travel anyway, and
automobiles will be used almost ex-
clusively for the longer trips from
which a greater enjoyment will come
from the slower method. Montana,
and each city and town on the recog-
nized national highways, should begin
now to make preparations for the re-
ception of the motorist and enlarge
the facilities for entertainment SO that
the short stay in any community
may leave a lasting impression which
will constitute an invitation to come
again.-Miles City Star.

ESCAPE FROM VIOLENT DEATH

While proceeding at a fair rate of

Glasgow to Nashua, yesterday fore
noon, Fred Nichols, who is pumpman
for both the Glasgow and Nashua sta
tions, passed too close to the grim
monster for perfect comfort and ease.
Train Number One which was late,
hove into view just as Mr.. Nichols
was speeding into Nashua, giving him
barely time to jump for his life, a
snowbank saving him from possible
fatal bruises and internal injuries. The
speeder was totally demolished and the
fender of the locomotive rendered
somewhat the worse for the expert
ence.

State Income Tax.

1t should not be necessary to dis
cuss seriously the lcvying of a state
income tax, for the reason when the
states of the Union a few years ago
with power to levy this form of tax,
through adopting an amendment to the
constitution of the United States, it
was tacitly understood that the states
themselves waived their right to use
this source of revenu when they en-
lowed the federal government with
this privilege.-Butte Miner.

State Income Tax.

We think the state income tax is
open to serious criticism. 1t is a pro-

going up to 6 per cent when incomes
of $4,000 or more are reached. In our
opinion it's tendency will be to drive
