the District OF Columbia. Wilbur II.
Zepp, a bank official. was named

A number OF %subpoenas have been
issued to persons in Montana, in Tul-
sa. Oklahoma and New York City.
Some of the witnesses were direct
ed to bring documents relating to
the dealings OF Senator Wheeler and
Gordon Campbell in connection with
OIL permits.
Asked by Senator Walsh whether
the court In Montana would have
jurisdiction in the case, Mr.. Stone
replied;
II am willing TO nssume for the
purpose of argument hat the Mon.
tana court would have jurisdiction
The attorney general added how.
ever. that inquiry into the case by
a grand jury hero might develop
evidence pointing to n crime that
would not be indictable in Montana.
He said n reason for bringing ac-
ton here was because the evidence

coded that certified copies could DO

were other considerations for a Dis

NEWSPAPERS AND THE PUBLIC

Roy w, Howard, head of the
Scripps- Howard newspapers, discuss
ing what newspapers owe the public
says first of all newspaper must be a
good citizen and decent neighbor.
He says they should encourage toll
erance and never forget that smile
has an asset value even in the midst
of fight. He would not print story
that puts criminal brand on young
person.
He thinks no story should be print
ed that raises a question on the part
of a clean-minded boy or girl that can.
not be answeredaor explained by any
parent familiar with normal realities
of life.
This is fine stand by an executive
of group of papers that go to work
ing people in hundreds of thousands
of homes, registering tendency to-
ward cleaner journalism.
This new order is bound to mini
mize crimes, scandals, details of So
cial and moral delinquencies and sub
stitute more space for industries and
enterprises by which nine-tenths of
the people make living.

BRAVE FORT LEE FiREMEN

The Fort Lee firemen who dared go
into a burning movie picture film lab
oratory last Saturday morning de-
serve every form of praise and
honor that can be bestowed upon
them. AS the fire progressed and
was finally distinguished there was
sudden explosion that would have
made men with less appreciation of
duty fee the building in dismay. But
these intrepid volunteer firemen, un-
selhshly laboring to save property and
perhaps lives, remained at their posts
defiant of danger, and never wavered
until there was last resounding
flash and staggering blast when the
inflammabe material exploded with a
thunderous upheaval that wrecked the
whole plant, mortally injuring two
men and severely hurting some twen-
ty others. 1t was a trying moment
when they set about the rescue of
their comrades scattered about in the
demolished structure. 1t was mir
acle that more were not killed or hurt.
And these Fort Lee fremen proved
that human valor in moments of i'm
pending peril may be depended upon
to stand firm and risk all to save
others. Unselfsh service for others is
ever a noble trait in any man; but
when a group of volunteer firemen
will do what those noble lads in Fort
Lee did it is the living exemplification
of the old Biblical thought: when en-
nobling impulse will lead a man will
lay down his life for his friend.

CHURCH ABsENTEElsM

Quite naturally, the ministers
throughout the country have been
moved to reply to Rupert Hughes ar
ticle, published in a popular magazine
some time ago, on why l Quit Going
to Church When people quit going
to church, the ministers, of course,
are concerned. They are eager to
know who is responsible, the parish
ioner or the church. In replying to
Hughes, varying views as to this have
been expressed. One thing the
Hughes article has assuredly done
II has encouraged an analysis of the
church and its methods by many emf
nent pastors. But, while it is true
that Mr.. Hughes has much company
in remaining away from church, it is
equally true that those who attend
church are not few in number. TAX
ing the local churches for example, it
is matter of common knowledge
that the majority of them have con-
gregations that usually tax their seat
ing capacity. Some of the churches
are forced to add seating quar-
ters There are local churches in
which it is difficult to secure a seat
on almost any Sunday morning, un-
less one goes early. The churches, as
rule. are much better attended than
the non-church going public imagines.
The old phrase of preaching to emp
ty benches" does not apply to the
modern church, in the cities and
towns, at least. Another thing that
will surprise the non-churchgoer is
the large proportion of men who at
tend. The church is by no means the
women's and children's institution
that some individuals who pride them
selves on being "he-men" suppose it
to be. The detection of Mr. Hughes
is unfortunate. as it is unfortunate
when any church member backslides
or resigns, but the Christian church
has been used to this sort of thing for
some 1000 years, but still manages to
carry on, with ever increasing num-
bers.

TEACHING RESPONSIBILITY

School savings bank balances in
creased from $11 ,S07 900 to $40 ,435, 900
during the year ending June 80, says
an American Bankers Association re-
port. The number of savings bank
pupils increased 32S,475, or almost II
per cent. In one group of 400 districts
the total number of pupils increased A
per cent pupil bank participation
per cent, collections % per cent and
bank balances "A per cent. With the
growing sense of responsibility school
honor rolls have grown from less than
80 per cent to more than 33 per cent.
Many an irresponsible man has
been cured by giving him something
to do. Many bad" boy, many re-
bellious girl, can be started on the
safe road by the responsibility of a
bank account. No child was ever
helped by being robbed of the privi-
lege of property, and two dangerous
extremes of society are the submerged
few who have been SO robbed and the
exotic few who have so much that
things have no intrinsic meaning or
value. This school bank account idea
beats all the languages, dead or alive,
for developing character and social
stamina Let's have more of it-not
for the riches themsedves-we're rich
enough as a nation-but for what it
will do in teaching responsibility.
