Billy Sunday
FREDERICK A. HATCH

The announcement is made that contract
has been signed to secure the services OF the
famed Evangelist for six weeks engagement IN
Pueblo. Sounds like baseball contract NO
man since d. L. Moody has faced the crowds
that Mr.. Sunday has addressed in the last III
teen years. No evangelist has better carried his
popularity. He has had numerous lmitators Dut
he has initiated other worker. What critics
termed sensationalism carefully worked out
plan to rivet attention on his theme. He has
offended many good people by his rough ways
in the early years of his notorlety, but IN the
latter years he has suffered but little criticism
on that score and has deserved none.
But this is placing big responsibility on
Pueblo churches. The financial preparation can
he perverted to make it seem like the financial
backing of Grand Opera troupe. In the months
preceding the visit of Mr.. Sunday lies all the
promise of success or failure of the tabernacle
campaign. In the eight years In which the
writer has known Pueblo. it has always seemed
if the great majority of members OF the
Protestant churches incompetent to handle
a work of this kind, in which the finest of spir-
tual energies, the sincerest humility, and the
utter confidence of a faith knowing God by ex-
perience, are vital elements of attaining the re-
suits which shall please God. For, big additions
to the church membership lists are not the
chiefest results TO be desired If this is a kind
of a ''drive,n sort of agitation for better
religious roads, there will be no abiding fruits of
the Spirit.
Mr.. Sunday will bring "nicer" message
for ears which wish to be commended for not be-
ing any worse He cannot bring any other mes
sage with hope in it, unless he helps men and
realize the enorlnity of sin which puts
God in the background of life. And he cannot
talk about heaven and not also tell of hell. And
the average church member ought not to get any
enjoyment out of the meetings, land he or she
will notl, unless they have Strengthened out some
matters in their lives, before Mr.. Sunday
comes. To hang to hate, jealousy lust and
worldliuess Just as long possible will be no

The New Appointments

Following the United States taking, which
comes every years, it is customary for the newer
states in which changes of population constantly
to make changes in the distribution of representatives
in congress and of members of the state legislature.
This rcapporonment. congressional and legislative was
part of the work laid out for the Twen'ythird as
scmby.
The fourteenth federal made change in the
relative population of Colorado That is, the population
Of this state increased the period just about
in the same degree that population increased in the
United States as a whole so that Colorado continues
to have four representatives the it has had
for ten years.
The only question before the assembly was whether
there should be change the boundaries OF the con-
grcsiona districts and the legislature found that there
were GOOD reasons for such change. Two counties, FL
Paso and Teller changed from the second district
to the third; three counties Gilpin Clear Creek and
jefferson, changed from the hrd TO the second;
and one county Park changed from the third to the
fourth.
The effect of these changes is TO improve the poiti
cal man of the state making the districts
pact and more in accordance with their natural divi
sons There may also be political reasons as
Senator Peterson told Senator Adams tho change makes
il easier for the Democrats carry the second district
With regard o the legislative reapportionment tic
proposed redistribution of representatives and senator's
was defeated, and change made. The number
of Is senators and 60 representatives fixed by the
state constitution They not divided among the
counties upon the basis of population. Denver gets
much less than its proportion according to population
The western slope fares better than the more thicky
populated counties the plains and the smaller
mining and mountain counties receive preferential treat
mcn
The proposed legislative bill cut down the repre-
senation of the mining counties, increased that of the
agricultural counties and left that of the larger cities
without change. This defeated and the legislative
apportionmcnt stands without change. Upon the basis
of population it is not fair apportionment but other
matters than population may properly be taken into
consideration, and serious harm is done to any
person. or to any section by the present spporonmcn

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By s. W. sTRAus
President American Society for Thrift

The most concise and comprehensive definition OF
thrift may be stated in two words: Eliminate Waste.
very simple definition, indeed, yet the mind can
travel far before it reaches the end of the possbiil-
ties for human beterment that spring from the con-
sstent practice of this rule. .--
Eliminate waste and have the most perfect
system of efficiency matter in what phase of human
activity the rule may be applied.
Eliminate the waste that springs from false pride
and habits of extravaganza and shall have end

President Anderson INDICATED

The special committee appointed by the legislature to
investigate matters pertaining to the School Of Mines at
Golden has made its report and the result is complete
vincation for President Anderson, who has been the
target for a very bitter attack
The committee reports that the present faculty
seems to be harmonious and working energetically to
maintain high standard for the school; and that the
student body appears be composed of intelligent
and energetic body of young who give promise OF
great usefulness to the state and to the world
With regard to President Anderson the committee
reports that the record of the school since 1917 has
shown steady growth in attendance, and the commit
tee has found evidence of improper conduct in the
administration of the affairs of the school since that
date. ~i'Hi "
In general it may-bet f4irfy said that the report
of the committee is endorsement and approval both
of the president and of the board of trustees and nd
rectly it is condemnation of those who have attacked
the school and its managers.
The Colorado school of mines ought to be of the
BEST if the foremost educational institution of this
state ought be of the best schools of this
kind in the world 1t has exceptional advantage of
location, and it also exceptional need in the
Industrial development of this and neighboring states
The Colorado school of mines has had very high
place and reputation the past and in the unbiased
opinion of many of the best informed mining of
the state there is better qualified to put the
school back where it belongs than DR.. Victor c. Al
derson provided always that he has the proper support
from the legislature and the people Without that sup
port no college president succeed in his work.

Verdict for the Battleship.

After the experimentation carried on at con-
siderable expense, the purpose being to demon
strate the usefulness OF the heavier-thanair flying
craft as means OF offense as we'll as defense in
warfare, the conclusion is that the batteship has
not yet been displaced by the flying bomber.
This does disparage the feat of sinking the Ost-
friesiand, which in itself only confirmed still fur
ther the we'll demonstrated fact that If suf-
ieient quantity Of high explosive be detonated
close enough to vessel the effect on that vessel
is likly to be disastrous. The more impressive
fact also was demonstrated that accuracy OF
placement Is not such as to justify the claims
that a moving target is at the mercy of an air
plane. Another, and governing point. is that the
airpiane is not sufficiently mobile to be depended
upon. Its range Of action is limited, and unless
II be extended by the adoption Of some device,
such as the airplane carrier ship its use must be
restricted to areas that easily may be avoided by
an enemy feet In other words, the battleship,
like the infantry in the army, retains its place
for the good reason that no advance in military
science can do away with 1t. On land and sea
the aircraft have function, and for scouting
and similar service are beyond any other device
known, but the nucleus of the army will remain
the foot soldier while the battle wagon" will
hold similar position in the navy.

League Of Walkers

DR.. John H. Finley, New York's former COM
missioner of education, just back from Europe,
says he's going to start campaign to popularize
pedestranism in this country. As chairman Of
the league of walkers he has been impressed by
the fact that self-locomotion is rapidly becoming
lost art in America as compared with the de-
gree to which it is practiced in foreign lands. On
his recent voyage DR.. Finley promenaded the
steamship deck to the extent Of 100 miles In
ireland he covered 90 miles in two days and also
did considerable walking in Finland. Russia and
Alsace. He met young refugee, who had been
prisoner of war in Russia, who attributed his
escape to his powers Of walking, having Travelled
on foot continuously for IS days DR.. Finley
says Americans are missing lot of healthful en-
joyment by not cultvating the art of walking.
OF course, there are reasons why pedestrian
ism does not flourish among us. No other coun-
try has so many excuses for riding, in the shape
of automobiles. In Europe the motor car is still
luxury the pleasure vehicle of the rich. 1t costs
far more to buy and operate than it does here,
and money is less plentiful than with us. But
Europeans have always been fonder of walking
than we. Charles Dickens was prodigious
pedestrian, thinking nothing OF a 10 OR even
20-nile stroll, and in making many of his char
acters equally athletic he portrayed contempo-
rary custom and was not regarded at the time
as indulging in ggeration.-Pittsburgh Chron-
ic1e Telegraph.

Control Of State Expenditures.

With that charming inconsistency that has
ever been characteristic OF its erratic career, our
esteemed democratic contemporary assails the
governor OF Nebraska because he has essayed to
establish reasonable control or oversight in state
expenditures. For many weeks the World-Her-
aid has displayed the utmost ingenuity in, ad-
vertisng the fact that Nebraska is saddled with
the heaviest load OF taxation ever foisted on the
property owners of the state. Persistcntly it has
bewailed the extravaganza of the republican ad-
ministration, and bemoaned the fate that is sure
to overtake US because Of the public waste that
is made possible. Now, when the executive OF
the state, who really is the head Of its affairs,
and has been under each Of the three consttu-
tions to which such dramatic reference is made.
undertakes to adopt prudent business methods in
the management of state housekeeping, he is
pilloried as "czar" and poseur, and everything
else but ninny
Under the good old democratic definition, an
appropriation carries with it an obligation to ex-
pend all the money set aside on estimates. No
thought OF managing so that the expenses will
fall inside the forecast ever enters the head of
the donkey. Worse than that, the system to
which the democratic party is devoted contem-
plates always the creation of deficiency, so that
no matter what sum the legislature has provided
for the carrying on Of the states business during
the biennun,, it must be supplemented by addi-
tional appropriations later.
II is this that Governor McKelvie seeks to
avoid. He does not want to cripple any depart
ment; he knows that all the money may be
spent il It is needed, but he does want each ad.
ministrative head to so arrange as to keep within
the limits Of the appropriations made, and to
turn over il possible balance at the end Of the
term. This is good practice and 1t has sound
foundation.
The dispute between the governor and the
Board of Regents Of the University of Ne
braska may be settled without all the hullabaloo
that is now being raised. Salaries for instruc-
tors deserve to be increased, and provision spe-
chcally made for that purpose should be faith.
fully carried out If the university needs every
cent set aside for its activities, it will get it, and
il will also get more il necessity requires.
What The Bee finds to commend in the action
OF Governor McKelvie is that he seems to be i'm
bued with a desire to curtail expenses and to
get we'll inside estimates Of the cost in his adj
rninistration OF the business Of Nebraska. This
ought to be appreciated by the taxpayers.

Silence and Thought.

One OF the easily accepted conditions of life
is that silence and thought go together. just
what constitutes silence, however? Is 1t the utter
absence Of sound, the deadening OF all noises, to
the end that no disturbance whatever may assail
the external ear? Men have been known to be-
come so accustomed to the uproar and din OF
industry that they were able to endure its clangor
and yet carry on not only delicate operations Of
mind, but to produce such thoughts OF beauty
as might have been the effect of real inspiration.
Solitude may be restful, but it does not in all
cases operate as stirulant. Hotels and clubs
are providing rooms where silence is to prevail,
to which the distressed individual may take his
wrought up nerves, and soothe them into qui-
escence, but it may be questioned If this will
engender process of deep thinking, either
imaginative or analytical. Not that we would
recommend boiler shop as place to go when
solution for some perplexing problem is sought,
or shipyard as place to write play or
poem. What we do have in mind is that the
normal noises of the city are not nearly so dis
tracing ordinarily as would be their absence.
What one is accustomed to is the controlling
influence after all, and if one is inclined to be
"temperamental," then the concentration afforded
by "silence" chamber may be the thing needed
Most folks will seek the crowd, however, just
because they are nearest to normal.
