Should Recldssifu

WHEN George Wharton Pepper, the distinguish.
W ed senator from Pennsylvania, complains that
the people generally take too small interest in pr.
maries, elections and public affairs, and that the
sons of the well-to-do fail in their duty to their
country by avoiding a public career, he is right.
But IN the same connection, when he asserts that
criticism OF the United States senate undermines
the institutions OF the government he is wrong. For
he classes honest, constructive critics along with
red radicals and L. w. w, Bolsheyists and destruc.
tionists of all classes. All who utter a sound
against the action of that great and sacred insti.
tuition is guilty of less majesty and therefore un.
dermtntng the government.
In this view the able senator goes too far. The
United States senate is a purely political body,
where the game of politics is played with the hiRh.
est skill and greatest refinement. Still 1t is PLAYED.
And while its members would have us believe the
body Ear removed from political influence and de.
voted solely to the welfare of the people, the record
OF Its action comes before the world and an an.
alysis of it tells a different story. The senate sim.
ply kids itself not the public.
II Senator Pepper has already, In his brief sen.
atorial service, come to the senate's own view OF
It's secredness ana freedom from public criticism.
he has caught the disease very early, and will find
no moro sympathy with his position than with that
of others VINO have served longer and from whom
he has contracted the disease.
The fact that the congress is criticized Is obvious
by the rush of members to defend it. That it is
criticised by its friends equally as we'll as by its
enemies Is a matter of Significance for congress to
note.
them are the best citizens, purcst patriots, and
most ardent supporters OF our institutions. They
~criticise because Of their love of institutions that
fan to measure up to their ambitions for them.
These decline to be classed with destr7tct;onlsts
extremists or radicals of any type.
The good senator From Pennsylvania must re-
arrange his classification II he would do Justice to
bis countrymen who may hold different opinion
from himself and his collea CUES, respecting the
operations of the great legislative body which he
honors by his membership in II.

The Poets Song

The poet sans a tubilant long
OF wopds and valleys and fields.
He sans OF the Joy the victor can
taow.
And the courage that lever yields.
And, oh, he san with a eonhdea.
heart
Ard vision OF things that are;
He sang OF the healing-nevsr the
wound.
And never sang he of The scar.
His lyric told of the radiant stars
In deeps OF stlvery night.
He SANG OF the love that ever Is true.
And the glory of wrong made right.
Amidst the throng a listener sat
Who timidly caught the strain,
Who half unconsciously lifted his soul
In the wholesome and sweet refrain.
With a lifted soul and lifted hope,
Life budded for him and grew
The poot a-sinsing his humble song
Sang better than ever he knew.

About Doing Things

GAY YOUl What do you mean going around with
~ lead in your shoes? Delaying the game, i'm.
peding progress, and mussing up the parade. Get
out of the way and permit the fellow with pep and
action to do the things that have to be done.
There's no time TO dawdle along and spend an en-
tire day blowing just one furrow wien there's n
forty acre field 20 pillow before the crop can be
put in.
When you are putting up hay and a storm cloud
Is rising in the west, it is not the time to sit down
on a hay ccc9 and roll a cigaret or tell a soiled
story, get ON to the business end of the pitchfork
and see how near you can come to breaking it with
ont actually accomplishing that purpose.
When there Is anything to do do 1t. Don't talk
about 1t or about something else entirely foreign
to the thing in view. Don't wait until NEXT day,
next week or next month. Lay hold and do the
job.
Whatever your business or work in life is, wheth-
Sr FOR yourself or someone else, you owe it either
70 yourself or to the other person to do il. To do
IL promptly and TO the best of your ability. Hop TO
It and save a lot of words and language later, ex-
planning why it was not done.
Nobody IL going to coax you 10 do things very
long. Life is too short and the wheels of progress
revolve too rapidly for that. II you don't get a
wiggle on and do what is expected Of you, just one
thing happens. Some regular docr of things comes
along some morning and does the things you have
been puttering over.
Ever stop TO take that view Of the case whom you
wasn't doing what YOU ought 10 be doing?

Then House of Worship

OUR PRESBYTERIAN friends have reached the
" point when their congregation, now one of the
large and growing church bodies of the city has
and decided TO undertake the erection of a perma-
nent church home for themselves, suited to their
needs and commensurate with their Importance as
a power for good in the community.
The congregation is not an old one nor a rich
one, but it has an active and influential member.
ship blessed with determination and a desire to
serve that has long been felt throughout the city.
Casper may we'll blush for her array of church
edifices. With one or possibly two exceptions, we
have no church buildings in the city comparing in
size, beauty or suitability of purpose TO other
structures for other purposes. We have handsome
and commodious mercantile and office buildings,
public buildings, hotels, theaters and homes. We
arc the largest and richest city in the state. We
have done about everything else except build
churches and attend them. And it is high time that
we paid some attention to the places and the con.
vcniences of the places In which We may hope to
have our souls saved.
Casper is rich and the people are liberal. It
ought not to be a very hard task for our good
Presbyterian friends to raise the funds necessary
to build a suitable place of worship as we'll as an
ornament to the city.
1t is a task that must be done. We all want Gas
per TO be a moral as we'll as a progressive city. 1t
can be neither successfully without churches and
Sabbath schools.
Let us all join with our good friends and help
them accomplish their good work.
