Ten uessee, Arkansas, New Mexico, southern plateau region and in the Pacific states except central California, and by local snows in the Rocky mountain region and northern plateau region and northern New England. The temperature was above normal Sunday night almost generally east of the Rocky mountains, and decidedly so in the southern states.

Praying as a Business.


Commenting on the offer of six Mont.
peiler ministers to serve without com
pensation as chaplains of the Vermont
legislature, the st. Adams Messenger
says:
1T Is doubtful. however, if the legis.
lature will accept the offer, and the Mes.
senger believes il should be declined.
There have been offers of free service in
previous years, but neither branch OF the
general assembly has felt it compatible
with its dignity to accept. The chap
iaincy is an Office of dignity and the
state has not asked charity in this re-
gard before. The only argument in fa-
vor OF the plan is that it will save
money, but those at all acquainted with
legislative procedure know full well that
1t the offer were accepted someone at the
close OF the session would introduce
resolution giving gratuity and it would
be voted. There has always been a
chaplain as legislative officer. and the
practice should continue, as this paper
looks at it,
