The Week
By SAM'L HILL

WARE the HOmilyE
The Golden Text.
A Glimpse into the Furnace.
Phantom Justice.
Postponed Penalty.
Inesoapable HOusesOps.
This may develop into homily,
despite every effort to avert it.
People for the most part when they
want preaching prefer it by word
of mouth from the pulpit. To save
your looking it up in the dictionary
and to show the connection, "hom-
lily" is collegiate for a sermon
Some might think it was a disease
and even after they know what E
homily is, too many regard it al
something to be borne, a minor af
Fiction. But a homily in print i
said to be most irritating of all it
forms. Yet you can stop reading
and toss the paper aside when j
would be discourteous to rise u
and walk out of church. That tn
radio sermon has its good point
has been claimed by those VIII
have presence of mind enough t
turn the dial when they feel then
selves getting sleepy.

Neither one nor all of these
things will stir the American peo-
pie out of their lethargy. It is the
old familiar story with new actors
and perhaps a change of situation
or scene. There is no danger
where there is no public conscience
or reaction. The penalty which is
a past day might have been prompt
and severe is not visible. But il
piles up and when the day of reck-
onlng comes as it did in France OF
Russia men call it a reign of ter
ror.

ESSEN'S GARDENS
BEAUTIFY CITY
German Steel Center Arouses Envy
of Other Industrial
Towns.

ESSEN R.-This city of smoke
stacks. the iron and steel center Of
Germany, has been converted into a
city Of gardens by system which has
aroused the envy Of many other towns
and made it the antithesis Of the gen.
eral conception Of what a mill town
looks like. To emphasize this phase
of the place the citizens are holding
q garden fair which will continue ali
Summer.
Careful city planning has been partly
responsible for this result, but a far
sighted policy by Alfred Krupp, founder
of the famous steel works, Is also en-
titled to much credit. Decades ago
Herr Krupp set aside comfortable one
family houses for his workers and the
city has been laid out in such a way
that the mills are confined to one
section, business houses and ONCE
buildings to another and residences tt
Q third.
In this third section gardening has
become the favorite family sport The
municipality has encouraged this by
setting aside tracts of land and any
citizen can lease plot with a tool
shack on 1t for ridiculously low rent.
There has grown up a wholesome
rivalry as to who among the $50, 900
inhabitants can produce the best flow
ers or vegetables.
The Garden Fair itself was laid out
in tract of 81 acres. Some 10000
rose bushes, 10000 dahlias, uncounted

Sen. Schnitzler had asked for it.
Fireworks In Senate
Fireworks in regard to the Butte
postoffice came on the floor of the
senate today after Senator Walsh OF
Massachusetts had declared an effort
was being made to remove the repub-

civil service, because he was a per-
soma non grata to the powers that be.
Senator Wheeler said the same sit

postoffice. He has made inquiries, he
7 said, as to whether there were any
charges against the present Butte
postmaster but was told that the
postmaster's record was clear. Only
because the republican national COM
mitteeman had asked change did the
postoffice department contemplate
one, Wheeler asserted.
The manipulation by Schnitzler OF
