It will be a revelation to/ you. You will discover a lot of things you either did| not know or had forgotten, You need not have any) fears of the roof caving in on you. Chufch roofs| have no such habits. It is an old fiction. And besides! this point has just been tested by several Casper gen- tiemen who hav’nt been in the vicinity of a synagogue since their parents took them by the hand and led} them there many years ago, when the wor!d was} newer and offered fewer coumter attractions on the! seventh day of the week than it does in the present. You will readily recover from that “out of place” feeling. depending somewhat on the length of time you have been absent from such exercises as are held in churches. A few eyebrows may be elevated in polite surprise at your presence. but you soon learn that aichough you are a cat in a strange garret, you are neverthelss welcome, and no one will say any-| thing about you at the time, reserving this privilege! until gathered about the lunch table in the privacy| ef the home. And what is said there, of course, never reaches your ears. First off, you will discover that the usher has given you a pretty fair seat in a fairly prominent portion of therchurch. This is gratifying. And you take it} —— | that the usher has recognized fully your importance] yniform rates made to protect the greatest number of , Your graceful slenderness, in the community. Although you don’t know him, | you have no doubt the urher is a very excellent person| and you ‘mifht desire to‘ know him more intimately. | Next, mach to your surprise, you learn that the} church you have selected possesses a very excellent choir and a skilled organist. You are hearing sacred music, splendidly rendered, for the first time in a 38ng, long while. And what a relief it is from the jazz of the world? The rites and ceremonies proceed, quite in the Same way as recalled out of a misty past. The les- sons concluded, comes the sermon. You settled your- self in what comfort you could extract from a church pew, and braced yourself for the long seige you remembered from other days was certain to come at this stage. The one thing you remembered distinctly, with no alluring prospect, was the degree of hardness of the church pew. What was your surprise then, when Rector Edwards launched into a brief and entertaining lecture, of plain wholesome quality, replete with wisdom, and philosophy, and with no consideration of the views of the rich parishioner or anybody else. So far av he went he dealt in truth and fact. There was no hesitation or stuttering, nor apology for his views. The recessional, and as the worshippers filed out a kindly greeting from the Rector. That was all. Try going to church sometime. For the novelty if for no other reason. If not Dr. Edwards’ church, then, any of the others. They are all "good for what) ails sinners. . | } oe The Grand Jury System f]) SOUSEING the tendency of the times and the periodical attacks upon the grand jury as an insti- tution the Christian Science Monitor has this to say: “Appearance in the legislative proposals of some of the older American states of the abolition of the grand jury may be taken as an indication of tfe| tendency away from the old order of jurisprudence even in regions where it has been regarded as most secure. The grand jury is the most venerable item in the list of inherited features of criminal prosecu- tions. It antedates the judges, comes out of the haze of an unrecorded past, is older by centuries than the| trial jury, and so is déeply founded. But its antiquity perhaps lends attraction to the assault, upon it. sup- plying the easy inference that it is old enough to dezerve retirement. or, to put it more seriously, giving strength to the claim that it fitted a primitive social order but is out of place in our day. “It is not new for the grand jury to be under attack as an institution. It has furnished top for se many years. Great legal lights its discussion. Volumes have been ‘written in its defense, and have had to be, in order to meet the assaults upon it. The newest constitu- tions of the commonwealths of the western United States have omitted it and the middle west has re- cently called it into question, with just now the New York legislature’ pondering upon doing away with it. Ic is not undertaken to make out that it operates less well than at any time in its honorable past. Abuses are sparingly cited, if at all, and the case for abolition rests upon the assertion that it has outlived its use- fulness. “Against such rather negative reasoning, the de- fenders of the grand jury point out that its service is not one that time makes less valuable and that the defense of the man against false, or trifling, or tech-| ee 90/ require prosecution, and to pass upon evidence which, But the jury survives even in the regions where this official has been added, and the reliance upon the preliminary examination by a magistrate to determine whether or not one shall be held for trial is not ex- cept in a few states, held to be sufficient. The trial jury is secure. Probably no fea:ure among the for- tifieations against personal injustice is more so. Not yet is there indication that judgment as to guilt would be intrusted with any confidence to one man. Upon questions of fact there must be the conclusion of men from the common walks of life. The defender of the grand jury, consistently at least, aererts that the question of fact equally deserves consideration at the point of accusation. It is hardly less a trifle that a man shali be held for trial than that he shall be found guilty, and neither should be left to the chance of a technical, as against a purely human, consideration. “To cast aside the grad jury would be to reduce the preliminary steps in prosecution to a technical basis. It serves to sift from those who are accused those whose offense is too trifling in its nature to as one high authority has stated it, ‘can more wisely be heard by a body impartially selected from the fhe Casper Daily Cribune SPOILING THE HARMONY | ThE GENOA CONCERTOS Coiiee Making Revolutionized people than by a single officer whose traiuing vreuld incline him to find grounds upon which « prosecution might be sustained.’ There is obviously involved in the issue of abolition the removal of one of the set- tled usages of the common law, designed to throw barriers around the liberty and security of the indi- vidual. They are such barriers as would seem to be needed so long as the right to be protected against if_ing or unjustified accusation is recognized as Jy a common human right.” Kansas Characteristics ACK, BEYOND Civil war days in early frontier times and on cown through the cattle period and railway construction era to the days of Populism, Peffer, Jerry Simpson, “What's the matter with Xansa: cyclones, crop failures, Bull Mooseism, to the very present hour Kansas has been noted for one particular thing—hell-raising. Tt always has been and still is the principal business of Kansas politicians and it crops out in the Capper bills to amend the federal transportation act. Complete authority has been given the interstate commerce commission by that act to establish uniform interstate rates to rehabilitate railroads and enable them to give the public decent service and pay fair wages.

The Capper program will enable any state commis-| sion to tie up any interstate order affecting rates for ninety days, and will also set aside any previous) orders made by the federal commission on the same subject matter. Questions of definite injury to a locality of a shipper within one state by a rate extending over several states cnnnot as a matter of practical business be proven, and would only destroy and defeat all uniformity. Under ibe recent supreme court decision the inter- state commission is upheld in fixing rates within aj { | | | state that are part of an interstate rate, and making Twi them conform to its orders, and to that extent only takes that power away from state commissions. This law the Capper acts seek to overthrow and| this decision of the United States supreme court Cap-| per seeks to nullify. Jt would be a fatal blow to all people from gouging in different localities. The state commissions have jurisdiction over rates within their respective states, but they should not be given power to hold up the regulation of rates on interstate long haul shipments which comprise 85%! of railroad freight traffi pee Sipe Tey ge stn Education and Insurance YEEY CITIZEN should be taught the importance 4 of fire prevention as a matter of national welfare. He should receive his lesson in fire dangers along with his instruction with “safety first.” As a cold matter of fact, most cities and towns, big and little. lack a great deal from having conditions of ordinary safety. Urban communities, that stand on a dead level sur- face, even with buildings of inflammable material, ure eafer than those on a slope. Gities or towns built on a sloping hillside, nearly all frame buildings, exposed to a wind blowing up hill, are veritable firetraps. Then take defective wiring, defective chimneys, pipes, stoves and flue, chimneys built on brackets that settle, rubbish and trash. ' Consider thousands of persons smoking pipes, cigars, cigarettes and throwing about matches, and then consider crimes of setting fires. Is it any wonder that losses from fire in our coun- try mount into millions of dollars monthly to be met by insurance. Consider the automatic taking up of losses from carelessness of 110,001.900 human beings by insur- ance companies. The state should educate all its people to greater care in fire prevention instead of undertaking to carry insurance and pay for losses caused by ignor- ance and carelessne: How Is Your Memory? O YOU RECALL the days before we enjoyed the blessings and conveniences of electric lights. gas, telephones and other modern appliances, you chopped wood and carried it into the house for fuel for heat- ing and cooking purposes? You filled the coal oil Iamps, carefully trimmed | the k and curled tapers of paper to be used in lighting the lamp? When your mother warned you to be careful lest the coal oil lamp tip over, explode and set fire to the house? When you lighted a candle and carried it upstairs to go to bed by, accompanied by warnings not to let the candle grease drop on your clothes or on the car- pets, or the flame catch the window curtains or bed | clothing? When you carried in coal to cook with and carried cut ashes to fill ruts in the alley or street? When your grandmother had her own candle mould and made candles for the household? Only a few families took ice and it was kept in a tub, wrapped in a piece of blanket, or in a honie-made icebox?
