WHO ARE THOU?"

st. John i.22: ''Who art thou. What
sdyest thou Of thyseU!" "He said, I am
the voice Of one
w YE CANNOT always be neu-
n / trail and silent. There
W comes time in the life
of every one of US when
we must make declaration
OF the thing we stand for. the prin-
ciples We avow and the cause we ad-
Vocate. Occasionally there may be
wisdom in silence and an attitude of
seeming neutrality, but such occa-
sions are rare. 1t is generally true
that the man with an idea has
changed the face of the universe"
Ideas and ideals must be articulate
in themselves, apart from their ex-
preston, they are ValuelesS.
If the beautiful ideal of the painter
or the poet is never expressed il dies
a birth. The treasure, the riches of
the world that we cherish, are the
product of minds that dared TO utter
themselves. Challenged by men to
give expression to their ideals, their
ideas, their aspirations, they have
readily and gladly uttered themselves,
and sometimes at infinite cost have
given expression to convictions that
have resulted in proud isolation from
their fellows.
y x
The real prophets and seers have
in the main been lonely men; lonely
because they counted not their lives
dear unto themselves" They have
been of those
Who, seeing far end sublime,
Contend, despisinK party rage,
To hold the spirit of the age
Against the spirit Of the times.
1t is no easy task to declare ones
self, especially where it costs per-
sonal inconvenience and ultimate sac
ritice. To stand up and be counted
when in the minority and the odds
gainst us calls for the finest kind of
heroism. To run with the crowd to
hold to no fixed convictions, to have
no ideal, is easy and cheap and
cowardly.
The words of the above text were
addressed TO a very remarkable man.
He had been challenged by the ruling
classes to state who he. was and
what he represented, What sayest
thou of thyself?" To his time he
was an innovator, a proclaimer of
strange doctrines. His utterances
were those of one who was censured
as with a passion. He essayed a role
that was, by prevailing custom,
utterly unpopular. There was moth
ing of softness or compromise in his
speech. His very exterior as well as
his habits were those of one who
abandoned himself to a great cause
The answer he gave is unique and
altogether striking, Il am the voice
of One" He would seem to say, II
am but the witness of another: 1
speak for One who is greater and
mightier than l." He that cometh
after me is preferred before me-"

Charley" Barrett is known as one

and today lives in Union City in that

for the national organization Of

State and is president OF a company
which owns the largest herd of reg
istered Hereford cattle-the pictur-
esque white-faces so common "out
where the West begins"-in the
United States. Such qualifications
as these persuaded the President to
ask him to head the committee.
The elder Carey. Joseph NJ. went
to what is now the State of Wyoming
in 1869, having been appointed by
President Grant as United States at
torney for the Territory of Wyoming.
He was later judge of the Supreme
Court of the Territory, delegate to
Congress. was author of the enabling
act which made wyoming a State,
and was its first United States SEN
ator. He also filled the gubernatorial
| chair which many years later was to
be filled by his son.
This son, Robert D. Carey, after be-
ing graduated from Yale in 1900, i'm
mediately located in Careyhurst. Wyo.
Eastern influences had not weaned
him away from the plains as he at
once assumed the management of the
ranches and livestock interests of J.
NJ Carey & Brother. of which com
pany he is still president After serv-
ing as president of the Wyoming
State Fair. Association, head of the
State stock growers organization,
and in other capacities, he was elected
governor in 1919 and served until
1923. During his administration a
farm loan act was passed whereby
the permanent funds of the State were
loaned to farmers at n low rate of
interest. A new highway act was
passed and an extensive road-build-
ing program undertaken.
Agricultural activities on the
Careyhurst holdings are carried on
intensively. and to a considerable ex-
tent they have served as private
experimental station for the benefit
of all farmers in that region. Many
different kinds of crops have been
tried out to determine their adapta-
bility to local conditions, and one
year more than As varieties of small
grains were produced. Carey agri-
cultural products won prizes at the
St Louis and Portland expositions
and sweepstakes for the best agri-
cultural exhibit on two occasions at
the Wyoming State fair.
Somewhat divorced from agricul-
tural activity, but of more than pass
ing Importance relative to his work
as chief executive of his State were
Carey's pronouncements at the time
the now notorious Teapot Dome oil
leases were signed. AS soon as he
heard of the lease being signed
Carey protested to the President on
the ground that the oil should be
preserved for the future of the Navy,
that the lease should have been sub
mitted to competitive bids, and that
Wyoming should share in the pro-
ceeds. After the lease was granted
Carey strongly objected to the send
ing of Marines into Wyoming, advis-
ing the President that the courts were
still functioning and that legal steps
should be taken to remove those who
were alleged to be trespassing on the
reserve.

Germany got new government si1
years ago; now she Is going to have a
new history. The stentorfan Hohen-
zollerns and fox trotting crown
princes that have Uttered the pages
of German history since Frederick the
Great will be fewer. Dynasties and
imperial wars will be somewhat sup
pressed, and the massive loyalty of a
people that carried the nation un-

and hard suffering in war will be writ

OF ranger of the early days for five
years. He then entered the Utah
Agricultural College.
DR.. Jardine had been good
student and It was not long after he
graduated before he was called back
to his alma mater to become head of
the agricultural department. Then the
United States Department of Agrf-
culture became interested in his work
on grain and in 1906 he came to
Washington to fill the position of as
sistant United States cerealist in
charge of the grain work in the
Western half of the country. He
took charge of the agronomy work at
the Kansas Agricultural College in
1910, and later filled several impor-
tant positions in that institution be-
fore he became its president in 1918.
During the World War DR.. Jardine
had charge of agricultural production
in Kansas and won a national repu-
tation for his efforts in this field.
Besides his college connections. he
has served in other agricultural ca
pacities, among them being agri-
cultural advisor to the American
Bankers Association and a lecturer
at the national school for the train
ing of secretaries of chamber of COM
merce. He long has maintained an
enviable reputation as a writer and
lecturer on agricultural subjects and
last Summer won particular prom
inence for his vigorous attack on the
McNary- Haugen bill which was de-
feated in the House of Representa-
tives.
