Not only in the political and industrial-life of the nation are these things desirable, but the épiritual life as well must share. -We have wan- dered away from the finer. things of life and have been coarsened and brutalized in our interests and ambitions. \ It is well that the example will be set by the new president in the simplicity of the ceremonies that will mark his inauguration, Already has Mr. Harding created @ ‘profound impression by the religious spirit exhibited since his elevation to the leadership of his party and of the nation. It was the real Harding that’spoke on the day following his wonderful -endorsement by the people when he said, “'It is all so serious, the obligations so solemn, that instead of exulting T am more given to prayer to God to make me'capa- ble of playing my part.” bas : It will be the first time in the history of the country that the ceremonies of the inauguration of aipresident will culminate in a religious service on the Sunday following. It is appropriate, too, that America’s Memorial church, consecrated to the memory of those who:served in the world war and non-sectarian in its scope is to be the scene. The dignity of prayer will supplant the follies of display. The political rigadoon which has characterized all past inaugurals wili be almost wholly eliminated. At least it will be subdued, for Mr. Harding has requested that it be so. ' * To further mark the emphasis upon the spiritual it is proposed that on the same day in the usual places of: worship, throughout ‘the land, similar services be held and that the same hymns, scripture geadings and prayers be given. A_ simple h Rig meaeago that the American people are God-fearing and rely upon divine guidance in their efforts to direct their republic in the’ pathway of peace, rectitude and honor. pag Slee NS Nleneste HAVE THEY GOT HIM? Kenesaw Mountain Landis, federal judge for the Chicago district, is a picturesque jurist in both personal appearance and character. Whatever he does, is done in unusual manner. For a federal judge, supposed by all tradition to be the personi- fication of dignity, Judge Landis takes: frequent e§cursions into the realm of sensationalism. As for instance, when he assessed a fine of $29,000,- OPO against the Standard Oil ‘company, which eyent everybody recalls with amusement. ' The judge gets away with many of the peculiar things he does because of the arbitrary power pre- sumed to go with a federal judgeship, and the hesitancy of citizens to call a judge to account. The call has finally come, however, and upon the surface of affairs it appears that they have the judge draped gracefully over a barrel and are about to administer to him the same sort of treat- njent he is wont to impose upon those who come before him in his judicial capacity. The judge has lately been made the: supreme ‘ - dictator of organized baseball at a salary of $42,- 500 per annum. His judicial salary is $7,500. _ The constitution which Judge Landis has -taken oath to uphold, and the federal statutes framed inder its authority forbid judicial officers holding ther offices of trust and profit in civil life. The , object being the public- policy of ‘keeping the a spurts free from all extraneous influences whatso- 2yer.

She would like a husband and a home as much as any other girl who earns: her own’living. She has the same affection for her mother and the'members of her family that other girls feel who divide their earnings with those partly or wholly dependent. Sweeping generali- zations about any class or profession are not safe, and because some chorus gitls are tough hoydens who snap their fingers at the conventions it is as- sumed by some persons that they are all like that. “As excellent officers have risen from the ranks of an army to places of high command, so certain actresses who have attained conspicuous persona! distinction and enhanced the prestige of their call: ing were once tnembers of the chorus. In tha school of sobriety and diligence they acquired habits of hard work and self-control that helped them later. Today with the fierce conditions o competition there is no vocation for man or woman in which cheap dissipation is not the passport to ruin. he chorus girl knows that if she means to be a “‘star’’ she must work hard and live tem- perately as one yith whom the homely virtues are habitual.” 1 There is simply no dependence to be placed in these weather sharps. Here’s old Mr. Groundhog contracting to deliver six weeks of steady winter, unloading beautiful spring to the extent of thirty-- three and a third per cent of his bargain. One of two things is certain. He was blinded by the bright sunshine when he emerged from his gloomy winter quarters and pulled the wrong lever, or else he is substituting and profiteering on the goods he agreed to furnish. fA ae ee et a The Wyoming legislature will end its forty-day session tomorrow night. The closing hours will witness the busiest scenes of the session and the saparation ‘of the wheat from the ‘chaff will be ruthlessly done. As it is, too many measures will get through and become law. The committee on of the session. Let us hope that the damage done by the session is not irreparable. Some fellow with a sharp lead pencil has figured out that out of every 68 persons in the United States one is a federal officcholder; and counting state, county, local and federal, one in 15 holds office for which‘salary is paid. Yes, we are gov- ered to death and taxed in the same manner.
