BISHOP HUSTON spEAKES
AT THE Island CLUB

On Monday evening the Doth
representatives from various COM
munities met at the Island Club
House where Rt, Rev Arthur p
Huston, Bishop OF Olympia addres'
sed them in refere.ce to their de-
sire of reestablishing Episcopal
services on the Island. The Bishop
outlined in a very well defined,
brief, comprehensive manner pro
gram which will be used as a guide
by the committee yet to be elected
who will have charge of the initia-
tive methods of procedure. Hav-
ing the needs OF the church thus
before him finds the Bishop very
graciously willing to aid those in
terested in every possible way. His
suggestion to send to the Island a
committee on Missions whose
main work here will be to decide
first where the best location can
he for the church, will, perhaps,
cover one of the most important
questions that came before this
meeting. The evening was one OF
inspiration and help with results
that will be far reaching.

Passing the Buck

Chicago's chief of detectives, Will
liam O'Connor, has different cure
for banditry.
He thinks most Of the gunner
are crazy, and whether they are
or not, the possibility of being de-
clared so is enough to scare them
away.
Hereafter when a bandit is caught
in Chicago he will be taken before
psychopathic commission to test
his sanity.
O'Connor believes that many of
them will be found insane.
What is more to the point, he
believes that many will flee the city
rather than take the chance of be-
ing found insane.
An easy way for Chicago to rid
herself of bandits, perhaps, but how
about the places where they go?
When all is said and done, Mr..
O'Connor's scheme looks like just
another way of passing the buck.
1t Is becoming too common a
habit with American cities to main
tain law and order by merely shoo-
ing criminals and buns out of town.

BRYAN Backs Reed

Charles w. Bryan, former Gov
ernor of Nebraska and Democratic
candidate for the vice presidency,
says that Senator Reed of Missouri
is acceptable to him as the party
standard bearer in 1923.
This is significant because he is
dry while Mr.. Reed is a wet.
He clears up the situation by de-
claring that the American people,
but especially those living in the
Middle West, are too interested in
economic issues to talk about pro-
hibition at this time.
1t is his opinion that the Demo-
cratic party's only hope consists in
program which promises relief for
the farmer and from monopoly.
Mr.. Bryan is correct in assuming
that economic issues have come to
the front. Whether as Democrats
or Republicans, the people of this
country want their politics trans
lated into business terms.
They are tired of the vaporizing
about questions which were i'm
portant before the railroad, tele-
phone and automobile came into
being, but which were sidetracked
by more pressing problems twenty
five or thirty years ago.
They would like to have the
parties discuss up-to-date affairs, II
nothing else.

Laze, and Justice
BY Dexter NJ. Keezer

man learned of chance to buy piece of prop
erty at what he thought was a very low price He
did not have enough money to pay the total purchase
price, so sought to borrow enough from building
and loan association to make up the balance. The
building and loan association told him that it would
not be able to make such loan for ninety days and
then promptly purchased the property for ITSELF The
loan association to turn the property to him at
the price at which it had been sold to it. He con-
tended that when he had told the building and loan
association about the possible purchase the company
had assumed position of trust, and had no right
to go behind his back and purchase the property
On its own account. The company commended it
had done no more than exercise legitimate bust
ness discretion
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision: The Supreme Court of Mary
land decided that the company was not required to
mans application for loan and consequent descrp-
ton of the property imposed no obligation on the
company not to purchase it on its own account

Preparedness Didn't Pay

Speaking of the crime wave and
its effect, story is going the rounds
here which illustrates what often
happens when the citizen under
takes to protect himself.
A sub Urban resident, whose bust
ness calls upon him to drive about
the country in a horse rig and to
keep quite bit Of cash in his pock-
ct, decided shat hold-ups we're be-
coming too numerous for him to go
unarmed.
He not only bought gun, but
sought to perfect himself in it's use
by little practice. Having stopped
his horse on deserted byway one
evening, he calmly stood up in the
wagon and took a shot at a con-
venient tree.
Not having been broken to fire.
arms, the horse decided to leave
right there, which caused the partJ;
of the first part much difficulty IN
maintaining his equilibrium.
During the performance the gun
went off second time, and the
horse was shot through the head,
though whether by design or acct
dent does not appear.
In an orderly region like this, no
such bombardment could occur even
in a far away suburb without at
tracing official attention, and as
might have been expected, the police
put in a quick appearance.
After thorough investigation, the
citizen was fined SIS for carrying con-
cealed weapons.
