BRINGING COMMITTEE TO PEOPLE.

It is a very excellent idea the Republican state CEN
trail committee of Wyoming is trying out, as demon
strated in the gathering which took place at the Hotel
divided the state into five regions or districts in what
are to be held meetings of committeeman and party
workers at frequent intervals to discuss party mat
tiers, devise ways and means of combating the enemy
and advancing the interests of party candidates.
The plan contemplates bringing the committee to
the party members in place of requiring the members
to come to the committee
The trial of the departure from the usual plan de-
veloped a better understanding than could have been
obtained under the plan heretofore followed and the
contact of Republican workers from the several coun-
ties was the means of arousing considerable en-
thusiasm.
Meetings in the other districts in the state will be
held in rapid succession.

faraway places. During the last year twenty-six YES
sells that left port for a voyage failed to arrive at their
destinations. They steamed away and disappeared.
What fate they met, how it came and where, all are a
part Of the mystery of the sea-.
Probably some mine, planted during the war and
picked up when peace came, broke loose from its moor
ings, was caught up by the great ocean currents and
carried out into the lanes of travel. Probably other
vessels will be in collision with the lost mines, for
there are many not yet accounted for. Each mine
may mean another mystery of the sea. The inven-
tons of man have done much to make safer the navi-
cations of the wide waters, but all the inventions of
man thus far have not operated to take from the sea
the mystery that has enveloped it since sailing first
began"

cost" The SlOss-Sheffield company and the other industrial concerns that had the courage to build for the future will find their faith justified
 Proof of this districts ability to meet in- dustrial foresight was furnished by the Chicka- saw Car Works at Fairfield, which began oper- ations June IS, 1921. This was at the very worst period of depression. Yet the company has not lost day through lack of orders, and is one of the busiest and most successful indus tries in the district.
 The Sloss-Sheffield's by-product works, its electrifcation of mines and quarries and the building of plant have proved that enter prise either in iron or steel manufacture in this district has a certain foundation.

Another Professor"
From the Louisville courier-Journal.

from the LoulsVlHe Courler-J Ournal.
 Because John Spencer Bassett, professor or history at Smith college, Northampton, Mass, has been mentioned as an acceptable candidate to be pitted against Henry Cabot Lodge for the United States Senate the Hartford Courant cannot resist the temptation to sheer away MT. Bassett's claims for political preferment, refer ring to him "a hitherto little known professor at Smith college" and adding that in case he should be persuaded ''to run" it would not be ia run but walk.'
 The Courant may know it's Massachusetts better than the Courier-Journal knows the Old Bay State, but things not yet quite faded from memory incline to the belief that college pro- fessors, though little known, are not readlIy whistled down the winds in Massachusetts poli- tics Men of culture and power as many of these professors from Boston harbor to the Berkshire hills are known to be, have habit of appealing convincingly to voters there.
 Mir. Bassett is as little known nowadays as a colleague of his in the noblest of the pro- fessions was 50 years ago when the congress sional district in which Smith college is situ- ated happened to be not altogether content with the blessings resulting from republican rule at Washington. Then it was that the scholarly and able Julus Hawley Seelye, pro- lessor at that time of philosophy at Amherst college, was persuaded by friends to give de- cent, intelligent voters of the district chance to send to Congress man of real courage and real culture. Professor Seelye accedod Ao 4soir wishes, permitted his name to be voted for as an independent and was triumphantly elected His remark that his election cost him "a post age stamp and that wasn't cancelled" is still current where politicians of Massachusetts come together.
 In Congress Professor Seelye took high rank winning national distinction by being the only member of the republican party to vote against the electoral commission bill to settle the Hayes Tilden presidential contest.
 If the good people of the Old Bay state hap pen to get notion into their heads that in Professor Bassett of Northampton they would have in the Senate an approximation to what they had 50 years ago in the House in the per of Julius Hawley Seelye, friends of Senator Lodges will have reason to revise their esti- mates of hitherto little known college profes- sors."
 What an altered face the world might wear this day had Julius Hawley Seelye occupied Lodges seat in the United States Senate the last six years!
