LENTEN

Whether one should observe the Lenten period by special
seH-denlal in the matter of food or otherwise, is a matter for
personal choice according to ones religious faith. But the idea
OF the deslrablEty of some form of sefdenial is not a principle
that can be limited to any one time of the year, + any particular
group of people. Those who think they can accomplish the
true ends OF life without conforming to this principle in some
way make a mistake.
Even in the most material fields of activity, the people who
cannot deny themselves pleasures and extravaganza are not like
y to accomplish the success they desire. The country is full
OF people who were never able to deny themselves anything
and who in consequence never had the concentration to succeed
in their occupations or otherwise.
The world IS full of selfish people whose only thought is
to follow the pursuits that will give them the most pleasure.
If they are involved in any dispute or controversy, they can
think only of their rights and claims.
They give scarcely a thought to the troubles and difficulties
of others. AS a rule such self-seekers are unhappy and dis
contented.
There are more who practice genuine %self-denial in harmony
with the Lenten idea, than we realize.
lnnumerable parents are denying themselves the comforts
they wish for, so that their children can have better advantages.
Many deeds of kindly sympathy are performed involving sacri-
flee, and many gifts are made by, those who need the money
almost as much as those who receive it. A great deal of
unselfish service is given to the community, that costs the givers
thereof seH-denlal. Such sacrifices may seem difficult, but they
bring generous rewards of affection and esteem, and few people
who make them ever rgret it.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH JURY SYSTEM

The question has been asked many times in Cody tha nas+
week. what Is wrong with the present jury system? % This
query a result OF several cases which have been tried in This
Term IL court, when, although evidence seem preponderant n
way or the other, a verdict to the contrary has been returned
More noticeable probably, than in any other case. is tbe
case OF the state VS.. Jim Kelley, who was charged with an
assault to kill. The evidence in this case seemeda altogether clear
cut. The shooting took place, and MaIette was seriously wound
ed, although he did not die. Kelley took the stand. admitted
the shooting, Claimed he knew the shot which he made could
very easily have been fatal, and in a braggadocio manner adj
mltted that he was pretty quick with a gun.
The jury was composed of many local men. These men
knew Kelley. Most of them knew his reputation. They knew
that this is but one of many gun plays in which the defendant
mas participated. They probably knew that on numerous DC
caslons he has threatened the life of others, and at different
tunes has been put under restraint. Yet they turned him loose.
In fact from the first vote, the jury was in a majority for
acquttal
The Herald has no quarrel with the defendant in this case
He is known as a peaceful and industrious man when he is
sober, but dangerous when drinking. In no country in the world
are there so many murders as in the United states. What is
the reason? Is not considerable of it due to the fact that men
VINO n real menaces to the safety of others, are upheld and
permitted their freedom by an indulgent people?
If ever a county attorney was warranted in filing charges
against a man, Attorney McElvain was justified in prosecuting
the Kelley case. Yet he failed in a conviction. The county was
put to considerable expense, and the case "blew up so to speak.
Ii the qualified citizens of this nation, who are called for Jury
service will not support the courts, it is useless for the govern
ment to make any attempt at law enforcement. The taxpayers
money might better be saved, and "the people, become their
own courts of justice, as they did during frontier days.
Ii the Kelley case had been a case in which the enforcement
OF the 18th amendment were involved, we would make no COM
ment, for the reason that there is such a widespread belief.
same spirit of indifference, the same indulgence of the citizenry,
which permits all kinds of outlawry to go unpublished, which
complacently approves of the fragrant violation of the 18th
amendment.

THEY DON'T

In commenting upon a recent article appearing in the Park
County Herald regarding hay shipments from this section, the
Casper Tribune editor, sarcasticaly remarks that it is a very
fine thing for the farmer to receive a revenue from his products
from the east. for in that way he will get back, at least a part
of the money which he sends to the eastern mail order house.
We will say for the benefit of the Tribune editor, that we
believe nowhere in the state, or the west, can a community be
found which sends less money out to the mail order houses.
Although it seems practical for some farmers to buy direct
from these eastern firms, yet as a whole, the Cody stores are
very well patronized, and do a volume of business which en-
ables them to compete very well with mail order prices
The Casper editor asks cor don't the farmers around Cody
indulge in such practices? 2" We say, they don't"

A E ON VAGARIES

In these days when the church is apparently shaken by
attacks from within, it is well to consider what organized
religion means to the community, not only in its moral standard
but in what may be called Observation-Disclosures" Creeds have
always served as a restraint on the erratic beliefs of individuals.
They have done this sometimes by the direct authority of the
church and at other times merely by the weight of public
opinion.
But there are abuses totally condemned by the church.
The alleged communication with spirits is one of these. 1t
has always happened that where the church has lost it's hold
on the people, the practice of spirtuaism has spread.

MAIN BUILDING GONE
(By Dispatch A. p. Wire)

WALLA WALLA, Wash, Sept 3. -
The main building of the Washington
state penitentiary,t4 including the two
main cell blocks and the dining hall
of the institution, are a total loss as
result of fire which ragged for over
three hours in the Institution tonight.
The fire is said by officials of the in
stitution to have started from a burn
ing object hurled BY aaconvict into the
ventilating fan which was probably
carried to the ROOF Of wing No. s..
From this origin itis believed, the
flames raced to cell wing No. and
swept the full length of the building.
The loss is estimatedg3at over 100000.
Reports that any of the prisoners
have escaped We're denied by Warden
Long. The 975 convfcts imprisoned in
the penitentiary at the present time
are being held under heavy guard in
a recreation area within the walls.
