Announcement has recently been made that President Harding has purchased the “old home farm,” where he was born and where he lived as a barefoot boy. There is @ lot of good. wholesome sentiment in that. And the tombstones in al- most any cemetery will testify to the popularity of the move which brings @ man to his final resting place where he knew his first rest. But most of us return too late— enly to sleep the last long sleep. How much better to go back early| enough to enjoy the boyhood mem- ories, and to sit in “slippered ease” among the household gods we knew at first. Many, of course, can not do this. Some, perhaps, do not want to. Their niche has been so firmly fixed elsewhere, or they left their birthplace at such an early age that the appeal is dimmed or lost. Mr. Harding, however, is a typical American; typical in this as in many other respects. Undoubtedly when his political sun is set, he will re-| turn to the old home to spend the} twilight of his days. That “little window where the sun came peep-| ing through at morn, immortalized] be his bedroom again, He will know, | be his bedroam again.

He is not the Rev. | John Roach Stratton type. He is not a man who prostitutes his de- nomination and commercializes| Christianity as a whole. That he is sincere. with fine mental attain- ments and the good of the com- munity at heart there is little doubt. He is an “advanced” minister; but} one sometimes wonders in his ‘“‘ad-| vancement” whether he is not| A | Doctor Grant is best | Briefly, known for: (1).

His refusal to believe all of the Bible literally, and his rejection of the miracles as against the laws of physics. This last resulted in the | biggest upheaval, and for a time| the threat of a trial for heresy | hung over the pastor. In his advocacy of a change in divorce laws, liberalizing the church to correspond with many of our own civil laws he had the support of all those within the denomina- | tion whose progress is not back: wards or sideways—like the crab. In his stand for free speech and forum discussions most persons, we believe, agreed with him, although perhaps condemning the method he took to espouse that cause. The question of aLeresy trial may be dis-| missed, as Bishop Manning thought | it best to dismiss it. In this matter Doctor Grant was only following the best teachings of modern ence, and “interpreting” the} Scriptures rather than accepting them blindly. Nobody will quarrel] with him for that. But when Doctor Grant, as he does most recently, espouses the cause of William Z. Foster, a no- torious trouble maker and an or- ganizer who has been intimately associated with Bolshevism, synd- icalism, and all the other malodor ous “isms,” he estranges the very liberals who stood by him during all his other exploits. Liberalism is not license, it might be pointed out to Doctor Grant; and never will be. The “one big union” idea has in- vaded the open sanctuary of Dr. Grant's head, and he welcomes it with loud cries of joy. Now it is a very moot question whether the “one big union’ movement has more than a modicum of support- ers among labor men themselves; and certainly if labor does not want one big union, nobody else does. Doctor Grant is an “advanced” thinker, it is admitted. But it looks as if in his latest “‘advance” he has plunged over the edge of a cliff into the abyss of Dangerous Rad- icalism. LINCOLN HIGHWAY TRAVEL An American in the rush of '49 who wanted to travel from New York to California had to allow two | or three months at least for the journey. It took him longer than it would have taken a Roman em- peror to travel a similar distance across his empire. The American of those days had no transconti-| nental Roman roads to ride over. | A sea-to-sea road tour now takes, | instead of several months, a couple of weeks. Not only is it not con- sidered an ordeal, it is undertaken annually by thousands as a pleasant outing. The Lincoln Highway As-| sociation estimates that 60,000 au tomobiles, containing about 225,- 000 persons, will traverse the Lin- coln highway from one coast to an- other this year. Thousands of oth- ers will go a part of the distance. PETREL | The Reverend Perey Stickney Grant, rector of the Church of the| Ascension in New York, seems con- genitally unab o keep out of the! public prints long enough to let the Episcopal Church stop seething. No sooner has one issue occasioned by his remarks subsided than another issue arises, and the boiling over process is r 4. Doctor Grant is a “modernist” in the church. He has a great personal} following, and re can be no shadow of a de that he one of the t thinkers and speakers in the church today, But! he has the f. of forever rais-| ing questions sily answered | in the tenets a ons of his de-| nomination; or, for that matter, not so easily answered in terms of ev-| ery-day life. The consequence is that he creates innumerable discus-| of er the church of the Ascens The highw: y, which was com- pleted in after the expendi ture by th ates through which it passed of about $15,000,000, is the shortest motor road between the Atlantic and the Pacific, Ne York City to San Francisco it is t miles by this route. Not all of the distance is paved, indeed there are a number of rough places. For 300 miles across Iowa the highway is mostly gravel. For about 100 miles it is a dirt road, good enough in dry weather. But every year improvements are made. and soon the highway will be one| stretch of smooth, paved surface. | The Lincoln Highway has been called the American Appian way. With its tributaries and similar highways in other places, it links one end of the country with the other, making San Francisco com- paratively close to New York. The Romans could have built such a ppt and doubtless would have don e so had their empiré lain on this side of the globe. But if the ould have burned up their t roads at a rate of several miles a day the history of t political system probably would have turned out differently | who have been, during the past two fhe Casper Daflp Tribune Pathetic Figures. “THe YouncsTer WHo HAD ro (c ‘To BEAT IT AWAY FROM HIS PoLé AND LINE AND WATCH THE TTRUANT OFFICER PULL IN THAT BIG CATFISH !
