THEIR HUMAN SIDE

mentary questions and decisions thal
MI more than a dozen large volumes
n has remained for this late date to
settle the simple little question OF
whom Is the proper time for the
chaplain Of the House to pray For
more than a quarter of a century the
blind chaplain who has just retired
has been opening the session with
PRAYER. But the other day Repre-
, sentative Jim McCHntic of oklahomA
undertook to have roll call eacn
day before the chaplain SAID the
prayer.
Representative Henry w. Watson
appealed to the Constitution that
there was no authority for compeli-
ing members of Congress to listen to
the PRAYER. He said: when the
lack of a quorum is disclosed the
Speaker will send the sergeant-at-
arms to arrest members and bring
them into the House, for example

present. to make a Gjorum Tor a re-

In the House there are various re-
Iigions represented. as named by Rep
resentative Watson - Quaker. Jew,
Gentle, Roman Catholic and various
shades of Protestants-
On that occasion Speaker GllIett
ruled against Representative Wal-
son, but. after considering the mat
ter for two days changed his ruling
fSiiows:
Rule VIII provides that The chap
lain shall attend at the commence
House and open the same with
: prayer Obviously. that provides
that the opening execise of the House
shall be prayer by the chaplain The
chair thinks that it is not matter
of business, but that it is matter
of ceremony, of devotion. and that
its appeal is not to the duty of MEM
hers to hear it. but to their sense
is not compulsory. Rule I provides
that the Speaker shall take the chair
and call the members to order. and
on the appearance of a quorum cause
the journal to be read. There II
specifically says that for the read
ing of the journal which is the first
business after the prayer by the
chaplain. quorum shall appear. b!
indirection that would indicate that
the PRAYER does not require the pres
ence of a quorum. inasmuch as the
rule particularly says that it does
require quorum to read the journal:
The chair. therefore, is disposed
to think that the offering of prayer
by the chaplain is not business of
the House that requires a quorum,
and that. regardless of any gentle
mans sense of reverence or pro-
priety. it is not in order to make
the point of order that there is no
quorum present"

In solving a problem such as the water problem which now menaces the welfare of the Town of Williams, it is neces- sary that the citizens be able to present a united front if any successful measures are to be carried through. It is a very difficult matter to obtain unity of action in any community and Williams is no exception. Un- ity can be secured in no better way than by airing of differen- ces of opinion in an assembly of citizens gathered together to work for the public good. In this way many misunderstood ings may be overcome and a common basis of agreement for working in the public good may be settled upon. The News again urges upon the Town Council the advisability of bringing the citizens of the town together in a mass meet ing to consider ways and means of solving the city S water prob lem.
Williams news., 1921-08-26

One citizen in discussing the water question made the asser- ton that the mud holes and ruts in thR streets of Williams have been filled up in good shape so that visitors may get cut of town in hurry after get ting a sample of city water. There is no denying that the city's water situation will do more to keep people away from Williams than the improved streets can do to attract them back. Improving the streets is a necessary public work but it takes second rank as compared with solving the water problem. There is but one paramount is sue before the town and that is the securing of good water. All other matters of public good can we'll wait until the water problem is solved. Time will notsolve the problem. The coun- cil and the people working to- gether, alone can do so. Why not get together and solve it now?
Williams news., 1921-08-26

Cloudbursts have transform ed many sections of the country about Williams into miniature oceans on a number of occas- ions during the summer rains, but all such storms have con- sistently avoided Bill Williams Mountain. Consequently Will Hams is still in the grip of water famine. Water is the one great issue before the Town Council and the people of Will Hams. Is anything to be done about it?
