New York, May 27.-The most gen.
erous of all New Workers are the
people Of the STAGE And that gen.
crosby is never so evident as it is
at this season of the year when
many shows close and thousands of
performers are out of work.
Those who have saved part of their
earnings during the fat months
share their rooms, their meals, their
clothing and their money with less
fortunate or less provident fellows
of their craft.
Yesterday l met young woman
who was much before the public for
few brief days because the Prince
of Wales had taken particular notice
of her when he. was here last sum-
mer. She told me that all she had
to her name was five dollars earned
by posing for fashion picture. She
had left sick bed to do that job.
Everything l had was spent dur.
ing an illness that kept me abed for
three months" she told me. even
that would not have been sufficient.
l would have become a public charge
if other girls had not helped me out.
When get on my feet again they
probably won't let me repay them q
cent. All that l can hope is that
some day may do good turn for
someone else in trouble"

NO HARMONY UNTIL
FAITHS LIBERALIZED
BY Chester H. ROwen

An eloquent rabbi calls the Christian churches to
establish harmony" between Fundamentaiss and Modern
lists And of course always the prescription for thar
mony" is that the Fundamentalsts shall yield to the Mod
ernists
If the differences are as unmportant the Modernsts
think why quarrel them But if they are vital as
the Fundamentaists think-how compromise them? Men
can be tolerant than they think God is.
The Modernst may respect the Fundamenalist as sim
devotee of toonarrow faith The Fundamentast can
only oppose the Modernst traitor to the faith and
enemy of salvation If the Fundamentals right toera
ton would be SIM and Harmony impossible
You not harmonic faiths until you have first liberal

by authority, then by public senti
ment, against all similar "detectors"
of oil and water.
The forked witch hazel stick, to
find water, is one of the oldest SUI
perstitions, but there are educated,
and even Scientific" men who are
duped by it. The gold and oil loca-
tors pretend to be new inventions.
If any .one offers you one, or tries
to get you into speculation based
on one, tell him first to convince the
patent office and the professors Of
physics and of geology in the uni
versity. Whatever they can't under
stand, you would better not risk.
Telling Truth in Politics is at Least
Heroic
A genius of finance" they call
Caillaux, merely for the brilliant
idea that France tells its people the
truth, pay its way, raise its money
from taxes, spend only what it col
lects, and pay what debts it can.
1t would seem scarcely to take
genius" to devise ideas so obvious.
And yet, perhaps it does. Certainly,
telling the truth, in politics, takes
heroism, if not genius. And the
clear seeing of the simple way, and
the resolution to follow it, are one
sort of genius.
To know, and convince the people,
that there is no hocus-pocus way to
meet plain case, seems to have
awaited a genius.

months long must have recalled
that, on one notable occasion, the
saloon moved, not ITO the alley" but
to Representative Hill's own cellar,

one American lawmaker was defying
American law.
There are worse evils than the
saloon, either public or clandestine.
One of them is this sort of law de-

Restricting a Dead One.

Senator Clarence Gardner, of Lincoln county, Republican
vice president Of the senate, and Republican member from his
county elected by Republican votes, has been scratching around
In the Democratic bone yard, and has succeeded in unearthing
the old and discarded Democratic proposal of a severance tax.
He has brushed the mold therefrom and bright and early this
morning presented it to the senate in the form of a proposed
constitutional amendment to the basic law of the state of Wy
oming.
Senator Gardner is ono Of those who is unwilling to take the
qualified electors of the state at their word. For it was so
recently as last November that they voted upon an identical
proposal and overwhelmingly rcpudiated ii. Ninety DAYS is
a brief time for the electorate to face abcut m any such pro-
posal, and Senator Gardner can show no assurance from them
that they have so faced.
In the nature of things it looks like a foolish proposal and

of the 1924 experiment. no one, save Senator Gardner, has
heard it, and not much of anybody will believe it when inform.

bill for a severance tax, within the next day or two and try
it by that route, If the senate joint resolution, which requires
a two-thirds vote to pass, fails.

Begging for Money.

The University lobby came to town today, to browbeat,
large sized chunk of the Lowry taxpayers money. 1t required
a goodly portion of the day fer the professors to present the
same old bull, as has come from the same source ever since
that institution was located aboy. timber line in the consist
emily Democratic stronghold Of Albany county.
Heretofore liberal appropriations have been granted because
no one desired to retard an institution Of learning; but of late
the demands and strong arm practices have grown until II IL
cents of every tax dollar collected in Wyoming for state pur-
poses, now goes to the support of the University and while
the governor has suggested an increased appropriation for
the University for the ensuing two years, in order to get the
increase four cents per meal has been cut from the price of
food furnished the orphan children under the states care.
Everybody would be inclined to support the great and holy
cause of athletic education at the University, but nobody is in.
clined to be dictated to by a bunch of bespectacled highbrows
at the expense of helpless orphans. Yet this is the situation
and this is the attitude of the University in its clamor for
funds.
1t is to be hoped that the legislature will grant the Univer-
sty a sufficient amount to conduct a school commensurate
with the results it is accomplishing, but it is also hoped that
not a cent will be given for new and wasteful building ex-
travagances like the gymnasium elephant it has lately con.
structed.
What this University management needs to do is to descend
from its tall perch and walk awhile on the earth and learn
that tax money does not grow on the ~sagebrush along the
trails in Wyoming.

Pity the Poor Taxpayer.

The house revenue committee this afternoon held an open
hearing upon the highway commissions scheme for a three.
cent gasoline tax for the maintenance of highways. The pro
ponents Of the measure were present in force, but the much
punished taxpayer OF the state was not represented. 1t may
be that some sort of an agreement may be reached and the tax
will be applied, but whatever the legislative committee and
the highway department may conclude to do about the matter,
the three cent gasoline tax is bound to be unpopular with the
folks who win be compelled to pay it.
IL is an outrage, OF course, TO add additional taxes of any
kind, to the burdens already borne by the people. The reason
is not because those placed in authority do not know better brt
because they simply lack the old-fashioned rigidity of spinal
column to deny the vultures who would pick the tarnavcrs
clean.
