It's No Job to COyet

The president of the United States, in the eyes
IT the average American, has fine job.
He has honor, dignity, power, fame. He occupies
he first place in the country; has the highest posi-
ton his fellow citizens give him.
It looks NICE But before you begin to envy Presi-
dent Coolidge, stop and think of the problems thai.
are confronting him.
He has very tangled, intricate course to pursue
in regard to relations with Latin America: a
course where misstep might easily bring war.
1 The entire question of our course in China mus.
soon be passed on by him. Here, also, the posi-
bility of war looms ominously in the background
These perplexing issues arise in addition to the
myriad lesser problems that come in the natural
course Of government.
When you feel that it would be nice to be pres:-
dent, think Of that, too.

IN NEW YORK

New York, Feb. 1.-Along the river
front Of this great city there Is
strange nomad population, as foreign
to Broadway and Fifth avenue as
Australian bushmen, that lives Its
own secluded, peculiar life, unheard
Of by the throngs that come and 60
about it.
It is made up Of the 5000 men.
women and children who live on
the coal bargcs that float lazily up
and down the river.
The coal barges are ancient
wooden hulks, many of them dis
mantled square-riggers shorn OF
their former trim beauty, dis
masted and reduced to mere oblong
boxes with rounded ends, covered
with matches from stem to stern
and fitted aft with little deck
houses, usually containing a couple
of rooms, each Of which measures
about 6 by 8 feet.
Each barge has its bargeman,
who lives in the cabin, tends the
lights. handles lines and looks after
the hulk generally. Some Of these
men are bachelors, living in soli-
tary comfort, strange hermits sur
rounded by millions of people;
others are married and their iami-
lies live on the barges with them.
Some of. the married bargemen
hardly have ideal domestic establish
ments. In many cases a man and
his wife and three or four children
live all together in the two little cab
ms of barge. This is not because
Of any love for river life, but be-
cause the bargeman's wages-around
500 or 500 month-do not allow
separate home ashore.
The children usually miss school
entirely. They are out of reach of
truant officers. Their quarters, often,
are filthy in the extreme. They grow
up stunted, uneducated, sickly.
Bargemen have no time off. They
are required to be on their craft at
all times, including Sundays and
holidays. To be sure, their work is
not extra arduous, and some of the
single men enjoy lazy, carefree
existence; but it is hardly a life
for a family man.

Editorial Comment
Tennesscc's State Religion
(Thc N. Y. WORLDLY

The decision Of tho supreme court of Tennessee
in the Scopes upholds the ant-cvouton law
but the controversy is not closed. 1t is probable
that the defense will move for rehearing. There
are also reports that the state legislature will be
asked to repeal the statute. Repeal is net impos-
sble. There has always been opposition in the
state legislature to the anti-evoluton law. There
was enough opposition when the bill was first pro-
posed to hold it up for protractcd debate and amos,
to block 1t in the senate Contrary to current myth
the Tennessee legislature has never been all of one
mind about the law. 1t is possible that after two
years of what the state supreme court calls a
bizarre" experiment opposition to the law may be
strengthened. At least the legislature has had
chance to its danger
The chief of these dangers follows from selecting
dogma peculiar to certain religious sects-in this
case fundamentalism-then giving that dogma leg
isative approval and making it binding upon schools
supported by funds contributed by taxpayers who
may may not be members of the sects which
accept the dogma. As Charles Evans Hughes said
in address before the Bar association at the time
of the Scopes trial:
To control curricula in our public schools and
state universities in the interest of reason
able arrangement of courses of study in order
to aid the acquisition of knowledge is one thing;
to attempt to control public instruction in the
interest Of any religious creed or dogma is quite
another II we are true to the ideal Of religious
liberty the power of government is not to be
used to propagate religious doctrines or to i'm
terfere with the liberty Of the citizen in order
to maintain religious doctrines
There is no liberty more essential than the right
not only to worship as each man desires, but the
right 70 have the state remain strictly impartial and
strictly neutral Is between al kinds Of religious
faith and religious practice. When the Tennessee
legislature chose to regulate education IN tho public

Kansas, apparently, is about to repeal her famous
anti-cigaret law.
News dispatches state that the repeal campag:,
has received most of its strength from the exservice
men, who recalled the soace and comfort given them
IN trying times by "fags," and who also remen,-
bered that all the welfare agencies helped to supply
them.
The war taught lot of things. Apparently
among these it taught US that there are lots of
things more wicked than cigarets

Lighting Farms on Air

The air has been regarded as fine medium for
aviation, but looked upon skepticay as too tickle
a source of power The old ideas of the wind rap
idly are changing
The national weather bureau, cooperating with
the Nebraska State Agricultural college, has found
electric power generation by windmills one way of
lighting the farm
Five hours of charging, every two or three days,
is enough to keep the average farm lighted for three
nights. wind of 10 miles an hour is sufficient to
turn the trick
The farmer already has his gasoline motor. If
ne can depend on the wind for his power, prac-
teal economy may be effected running into mil
lions of dollars annually in the United States

Editor Tribune:
A concurrent resolution memorial
izing congress for the repeal Of the
Volstead act and bill for the repeal
Of the state prohibition enforcement
laws have been introduced in the
house of representatives of the North
Dakota legislature. The object of
these measures is undoubtedly pub
licity for wet propaganda. This is in
line with the program Of the Asso-
citation Against the Prohibition
Amendment and was carried out in
the hearings in congress last spring.
These hearings consumed three weeks
of valuable time which. according to
the correspondent Of the wet Chica-
go Tribune, was time lost as far as
securing any progress for the wet
measures then before Congress
was concerned. Hours of the
hearings were used showing
how to make stills, reading
into the Congressional Record rec
ipeg for making beer, and in the
attempt to defame some Of the
greatest names in American history.
Not one Of the wet measures was rec.
commended to pass. Instead of that,
the enforcement of prohibition was
strengthened. This shows the senti.
mcnt of the congress which was elect.
cd by the people of the country and
which reflects their sentiment.
The voters of North Dakota have

FRESHMAN PARTY AND
 PARADE GREAT STUFF

The Freshmen initiation party of 1927-28, given last evening by the upper classmen of the Seward High School was success in every way, possibly not for the Fresntes, but for those officiating.
 The affair commenced with a par ade which started at the high school building, down Main street, around the traffic cops" a number of times, back up the street to the school. It was the greatest parade witnessed in the city for some time The Fresh ies wore green dunce caps. Guy Manthey led the procession, beating a tattoo on his six cylinder, sound less" drum, the upper classmen rid ing behind in two cars A good-sized crowd witnessed this parade.
 After retiring to the school build ing, it was found that the Freshmen were in bad state of constitution, so remedy, consisting of castor oil, bread and few laxative bills in the form of green peas, was applied with good results. To round up the dirty work, the Freshmen were asked to clean up the floor, during which time each one of them was obliged to make a speech in the form of T love this and that, him or her."
 Dancing was indulged in for the rest of the evening until refresh ments were served in plentiful quan- titles of a most nourishing and deli cious kind. Then little more danc- ing, and the crowd began to dwindle away
 Now, the Freshmen can justly class themselves as high school stu Idents, without comment from their superiors.

FAWCETT AND HEnuER COIN NEW NAME .FOR
 SUBSIDIARY COMPANY.

Capt. w. H. Fawcett, one of the foremost magazine publishers in the United States, who arrives in Sew ard this evening having concluded successful big game hunt under the auspices of the Alaska Glacier Tour association, together with Van Cam pen Heilner, field representative of the American Museum of Natural History, also associate editor of Field and Stream, performed signal hon. or recently for the big game associa- tion MT. Heilner passed through the city some weeks ago after he also enjoyed the rare privilege of secur- ing some excellent specimens.
 They conceived the idea that the Alaska Glacier Tour association should have a more distinctive name, UT d SuUSIuLdIy udu1c, oO lOl lIuWlIA coined "The Alaska Guides Associa- ton, Inc," and the company imme- diately took the new child to their bosom and adopted it.
 Gus Gelles, secretary and treasurer of the association, when asked yes terday to divulge information con- cering the subsidiary association said that the main reason the name was selected was because the majority of the licensed guides, all of whom are professional hunters, were members of the company. The name will be feat |ured on their stationery and in the Icompany's national advertising cam paign this winter.
