tor Gooding, Idaho, spent the entire

quiring into phases Of the injunc-
ton which also prohibited union
miners from marching, advertising

the church OH several occasions and
sang Coward, Christian Soldiers"
and other favoritc hymns. Several

timony. The church is located near

time tear bomb was found in the
church basement, intimating that
company mine guards were respon-
sible for placing the bomb.

we no longer will have government"
With the exception of Senator

SACRAMENT OR MERCHANDISE

Beng part of a newspaper, we whole-heartedIv
agree with the slogan 1T pays advertise" and believe
1t IS sound doctrine that merits high place in the
business world.
AT the same time also believe that there are
places, times and things with which advertising is not
concerned. Therefore cannot hold with the minis
ter III neighboring city who is reported as having ad
Neftsed "a special eut-rate marriage price of S49S"
All religious denominations contend that marriage
Is religious rite therefore something apart from the
usual run OF things that may ethically be advertised
10 put the sacrament Of marriage the same plane
as breakfast foods smokes silk stockings, dogbiscut
and the miscellaneous assortment that the advertising
WorId boosts, is lbecoming in anyone, and most of
all IN an ordained minister of the gospel
Had justice of the peace or any other civil officer
authorized to perform marriages been so rash as to
boast S4.98 marriage rate he would have incurred
the enmlty and wrath of flock of minister's and right
ly so. Possibly the very minister in question would
have been IN the protesting against such sacr-
lege
We repeat again what was written in this column

the dignity OF religion should not be surprised that the
number OF scoffers increases We do not say like the

THEY DESERVE HEARING

Announcement by Premier MuSSolini that he will
conduct complete investigation of the entire Italia
expedition, including the efforts made to rescue the
survivors of the ilfated North Pole expedition, will
be received with satisfaction by the entire world which
Tor weeks past has been puzzled not to say nystfed,
by reports coming from the Far North.
There have been charges of gross incompetence by
Mobile the commander of the big dirgibe of selfish
ness and downright rickery by other Italians in efforts
TO themselves from the results of the disaster and
other charges of particularly revolving nature with
reference to the fate of the young Swedish scientist
Malmgren
1t is only fair to those against whom the accusa-
tons have been made that they have chance defend
themselves. Those of us in civilized places know little
nothing of the circumstances surrounding the dsas
plee disregard of the spirit of fair play toward
the interest of science.
AT the time it is also essential that if the
charges be sustained any guilty of offenses against
the fundamental laws of humanity be made to give
account of themselves.
Premier Mussoni jects, and rightly so, to hay
ing the hearing elsewhere than in Italy and by Italians
The expedition fostered by the Italian government
the chiefly concerned Italian citizens and they
entitled hearing before their judges and
courts
The rest of the world we'll afford to trust Italy
to be fair in conducting the investigation frank and
honest investigation will satisfy everyone. Any other
kind do harm to but Italy and Italy thinks
too much of its good TO take any such risk. We
have doubt Mussoni's sincerity and fair
demands that await the result of his probe be-
fore condemning anyone connected with the cruise Of
the Italia.

not get the doll house down.
Uncle Wiggily, who had hopred

was looking for a ladder, to use in
climbing up in the tree, had said
there was one hidden near by.

to what seemed to be tiny house,

Bunty.

They hoped closer to the green
