our own drifting and muddling-
they are lost. And the meaning
passes from life. and the secret
warmth and radiance.
There's nothing to believe in
anymore nothing to fight for
-. nothing to clutch when the
way seems dark. We are alone!
So. inevitably, each one Of us
comes to our Garden Of Gethse-
name our dreadful Golgotha
And you may read the record
Of that black and bitter loss in
the thousands Of strange eyes you
daily pass hopeless eyes T..
bitter, despairing eyes each
one seeing only a sealed and
guarded tomb as weeping Mary,
coming through the desperate
dawn, saw only death awaiting
her.
While, all the time, Life stood
there by her side. He was not
dead-her dear young Lord! He
was not lost, nor gone. He was
alive and real ready to give
help only she couldn't see. She
was too blinded with her own wild
doubt and pain.
THEY NEVER PASS
And again, I think it's like that
with all Of us. We all need Him
so, in whatever form we may be
able to perceive Him. Whoever
we are, whatever we may have
done, we all need grace and cour-
age, honesty, love and fairness in
our lives. And we are all broken
and bankrupt when they seem to
pass, as soon, or later they do.
But they never really pass. The
one we loved best may die. The
dream we held highest may shat.
ter. The trail may seem to end
in a sealed tomb. But it never
does!
Always, right beside us, there
is someone else to love some
one who needs our love. Always
about us, there are the makings
of another, finer dream
nobler crusade q more glo
rious battle. Always Life and Love
go on, ready for our taking, II
only well open our frightened,
broken hearts and take them in!

IDAHO

4NAA4O
The snow spots of Europe had
better look to their laurels. st.
Anton, Kitzbuhel, Murren, Davos,
Chamonix and st. Moritz now face
the competition Of an American
rival, and what a rival it is! From
what we have already seen and
heard, it looks as though the inter.
national crowd from Europe will
now find themselves in Idaho, just
as this set now prefers Florida to
the Riviera.
Work on the resort is nearing
completion in Sun Valley, in the
lee Of the Sawtooth Mountain
range. At this remarkable resort,
skiers will glide under midwinter
skies on a marvellous course, ba.
theirs will plunge and swim in an
outdoor hot-Spring pool in a
Christmas card setting, and sun
batherS will worship Old Sol in
roofleSS iglooS built of ice blocks.
There will also be a hoStelry that
will give anything in Europe, in
cluding the Palace at st. Moritz, a
good run for its money.
IDEAL RESORT SITE
Gold miners, striking across
Idaho more than so years ago,
took look at the lofty Sawtooth
range peaks, running east and west
across the western terrain, and
dubbed the district the "Switzer.

I'm comforted by that part Of the
story particularly because I'm just
such a fool myself. AS aren't we

BEAUTY AND TRUTH
All our days we go hungering
for Beauty and Truth. We may
not seem to be. We may seem
shallow and greedy, vain and
cruel. But somewhere, in all of
us, the Christ lives-in some vague
but radiant vision Of the Truth.
We do not call it 1.-THE Christ. "
Perhaps we do not think Of 1t
that way. We may speak Of that
vision as "our ideals" Yet they
transform life for us as surely as

Being in charge of the or
derly and perfect presentation
of the feast, he is at liberty to
reserve without cOntestatiOn
whatever seat he judges well
placed for the proper direction
of the service.
"The meal will be served at

shall commence at that hour
even though a majority Of the
members should be absent. Later
arrivals will begin their meal at
whatever course they happen
to enter upon.
Persons under the influence
Of liquor will not be permitted
to sit at the table. The napkin
must be worn tucked in the col

to accompany and enhance the
delicacy of each course, must be

enforce this ruling, the glasses,
even if full, must be removed
at the end Of each course. There
shall be, at no time, more than
one wine glass before the diner.
Needless to say, smoking will
be absolutely forbidden up to
the time dessert is served. A

PROSPERITY NOTE

The gentleman from Pennsyl.
vanit who lost his savings-ac-
count book in the corridor of
the Capitol may get it at the
office Of the Secretary of the
Senate. Not that he must be
very much perturbed by the loss
for the entries showed that he had
only 10 cents left in the fund.
Representative Matthew A.
Dunn, the blind member of the
House, is ready to "go the whole
hog or none" He's introduced
bill calling for the relief Of the
unemployed and he wants to ap-
propriate the. all-time record Of 80
billions of dollars.
New Deal propaganda from the
Government departments for the
past four years has cost the tax
payers more than $217 900, 900, &C.
cording to Representative Albert
j. Engle, minority member Of the
House Appropriations Committee.
Representative Engle charges
that never before has the frank
ing privilege been used to this ex-
tent. He says:
Taking the official estimates
Of the Post Office for the fiscal
year 1887, the executive depart
ments and agencies will have
mailed during the four years
ending June 30, 1887, the enOr-
nous amount Of 2,493,369,271
pieces of free mail; q yearly av.
erage of 623,342,232 pieces or
more than two million pieces Of
free mail for every working day
in the year."
He charges that the lost reve-
nues on this free mail were $118,.
$4,000, almost three time as
much as lost revenues during the
four previous years, which was
$42,701, ,274.
He also pointed out that the
number of pieces sent out by Con.
gress under the franking privilege
has dropped.
True to his colors, Representa-
tive Engle sent this statement out
and PAID THE POSTAGE.

The Tax Bee Can Sting

-
TROM many quarters reasons and suggestions
L being advanced for increasing the tax burdens
paid by Washington residents.
Many of these suggestions could be laughed off as
utterly ridiculous it not for the fact that the Dis
trct is in unique position among American commun
ties being poweress to decide the justice wisdom
or even the necessity of the taxes which its residents
shall pay.
All Washingtonans are familiar with the ngpend-
ing suggestion that the gasoline tax in the city should
be at least doubled.
MANY weird reasons have been given for proposing
this advance.
The latest. however, and undoubtedly the weirdest
comes from Maryland officials
They assert that the Districts local gasoline tax
should be doubled in order that sixty per cent Of the
increased may be divided between the States
of Maryland and Virginia. which need money for
road construction and repair
Particularly is this suggestion of Marylanders inter-
estng at the present time because that State is about
to lose onehrd of the Federal highway funds to which
it is entitled because it has diverted its gasoline
tax revenues to other purposes.
STATE WHICH LEVIES A TAX ON A SPECIAL
GROUP FOR SPECIAL PURPOSE AND THEN
SPENDS THE MONEY FOR ANOTHER PURPOSE
FOR WHICH MEMBERS OF THE SPECIAL GROUP
ARE ALREADY TAXED NOW PROPOSES TO DC
TATE THE SPECIAL TAXING OF ANOTHER
GROUP IN A DIFFERENT POLITICAL sUBDIVI-
SION.
The absurdity of that situation would be appealing
if Washingtonians could forget that Maryland has a
powerful delegation in the Senate and in the House
while the District has none in either place.
Somewhat similar, although not quite absurd, is
the suggestion advanced locally that the threatened
deficit in the general fund Of the District could be
tailed by shifting expenses from that funds account to
the gasoline tax account and increasing the gas tax
to meet the additional expenses thus thrown that
account
This is simply diversion Of special funds in another
form unless it be clearly shown that the expenses
thus shifted in reality and justice chargeabe
against the motorists special group.
Washingtonans in general, however, should not be
luled into false Of security by believing that the
moorst is the only person that it is proposed to soak
with additional taxes here.
There at least half dozen increased taxes
that are under consideration at the moment.
There will probably be more suggested before de-
cison is reached on the tax program
In fact consideration will be given to soaking every
body and everything before it is over but there will be
very little consideration given to program of economy
and efficiency means Of curtailing expenses.

CAN DEMOCRACY SUCCEED?

The success of democracy is possible
only SO long as the welfare of the people,
as a whole, is more important than the
welfare of any part of the population.
If the government of the United
States is to represent the farmers, the
laborers, the veterans or the job-holders
and take care of their needs, without much
regard to the balance of the taxpayers, the
end of the republic of the United States is
underway. #ra az j-"s
This same rule applies to smaller units
of democracy. Always there must be con-
Germ for the general welfare. Always
there must be no vested rights and special
interests on the part of minorities or ma
iorities.

"UNDOMINATED!"

The Chicago Tribune, which says it is

ly took full page advertisement in other
newspapers to proclaim that its Washing

We remember the day when it was
taken for granted that newspaper writer
was "undominated.'
The profession of journalism, it seems
to us, is at a new low when the s.world S

cial virtue, the fact that its writer's are
"undominated."
