"The discussion dates back to colon- jal days; and occasionally flames up when some untoward event fo- cuses attention upon it. Two years ago the state of Washington was the scene of a battle between the pros and cons, and during the last six months California has been the center of a controversy as to wheth- er or not the King James version is} a “sectarian” book which should be barred from the schools. There aré, all told, ten states where the bible may not be used in schools. With the exception of New York end Louisiana, all are in the west. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois forbid it, and also Ari- zofa and Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho and Washington. If California, where the matter is still undecided, finally joins the ranks, Oregon and Utah alone of the Mountain and Pa- cific Comat states will permit the use of the bible. As the west is the home of the éxclusionists, so the East and South divide the states in which the read- ing of the bible in public schools is compulsory. Massachusetts leads the way, although desperate efforts have been made there from time to time to prevent the practice. Penn- aylvania and New Jersey also pro- vide for it. Three southern states, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama, bring the total of compulsory states up to six. In eleven more bible reading is specifically permitted, and in nineteen the laws are silent on the subject. In the last group the common practice, especially in the south and in New England, is to read passages from the bible in most schools. The line-up therefore is, broadly speaking, the old east and fouth against the newer west. Whatever special attempts have been made to prevent the use of the bible the controversy has largely hinged upon the meaning of the word “sectarian.” The bureau's in- vestigation shows that various states have constitutional or statu- tory provisions forbidding sectarian instruction. The purpose appears to have been a desire to check strictly denominational instruction. But these restrictions have furnish- ed the basis for the claim that the Mobile is in itself a sectarian work. This claim when submitted to the @upreme courts in three different states was differently interpreted. Tilinois upheld the sectarian theory, while Kentucky and Texas denied it, The bureau of education’s pam- phlet wisely refrains from entering into the merits of the dispute. Peo- ple too often run to bitterness in it. But as a summary of the actual practice and of the legal status of the entire question this publication is valuable. CAN GROW TRUCK PRO- DUCE ON CASPER MOUNTAIN ‘There has been some dispute as to j whether farm producty and garden jtruck could be grown on Casper mountain. The writer had occasion to ‘visit the mountain recently, and j while walking through the timber, | expression Cantrell, who has a homestead there. The writer bélisves that straw- berries, blackberries, raspberries, thubarb, asparagus, onions, peas| and all végetables that don’t re- quire a long séason can be success- fully grown ‘in large quantities there, as the sofl is the finest that he has ever seen, being a black ean- dy loam, Why do not more Casper peo- ple take advantage of this? Sineerely yours, L. G. THE MASK OF THE STRAINED EXPRESSION The American people are de- scribed as wéaring the mask of worry. Observers speak of the strained expression seen not only on the faces of those who ride abroad in automobiles, but also in evidence among family parties sit- ting in the evening on lawn or porch far removed from danger from the wildest of foyriders. It is said that the mask of the strained is robbing American women of their beauty. They are described as lacking the serenity and the repose of manner that should add to their charms. But is all this true? Here is question giving opportunity for cul tivation of habits of observation. Watch the man and women you meet on the street. So doing you may run the risk of fastening on your own countenance the mask of the strained expression, ‘but you may find that on the countenance of at least a fair proportion of | those whom you pass by the way there is evidence of happiness and satisfaction. After all, are not some of those who are disturbed by their discovery of the strained expression in need of new glasses? | Is not what they look upon as evi-| dence of worry and nervous strain | rather indication of alert and| healthy interest in life? Go and observe for yourself. You Car Turns Over LARAMIB, Wyo., July 22—Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Marquardt, who reside at 262 north third street in this city, had a remarkable éscape from death by drowning and Mr. Marquardt no doubt owes his life to his wife, whose présence of mind saved him by raising his head above the surrounding mud and water into which they were hurled when thei? automobile was overturned 4 mile north of Bosler, Wyo. . Mrs. Marquardt suffered from bruises and from straing of the muscles of thé neck and shoulders. Mr. Marquardt suffered much from the quantities of mud and water swallowed and which filled his lungs. Both were up and about when a reporter visited their home, but neither felt very well, Mr. Marquardt complaining all the time from pains in his chest. He talked with sonie difficulty. Mr. and Mrs. Marquardt were re turning from Salt Lake City where they had been visiting for a week, and when they reached a point on t Lincoln. highway north of Bos where there was a fill, the automobi slipped off the road and overturned. af carats Firemen to Organize SHERIDAN, Wyo., July 22—Sher- dan will take the initiative in starting the organization ot a Wyoming fire man’s association, open to all mem- bers of every pald and volufiteer fire department of the state, it was an nounced Monday following the return of F. W. Tossie, third senior member of the Sheridan fire department, from Sterling, Colo, where he was Wyom- ing’s only representative at the Colo- rado fireman's convention there. ‘The Colorado association has pledg- €4 support to the movement in Wyo- ming and the Sheridan fire depart- ment plans to communicate with other departments of the state to revive the old Wyoming Fireman's association, organized 20 years ago and allowed to lapse in 1910.

Sheridan Sells Bonds SHERIDAN, Wyo., July 22—The ‘Warren Construction company’ of ; Portland, Ore., was awarded the oon- tract for 24 blocks of street paving to be laid hefe this year by the city commissioners Monday. The company submitted two bids: $148,517.04 for Warrenite bitulithic paving on a bitulithic base, and $156,- 122.98 for the same on @ concrete base. The cholee of the kind of paving will he made in @ few days by the property ownérs in each of the six paving dis- trlots which the bids covered by a method not yet determined on, the city Officials said. ‘The Birch and Sons Construction company of Great Falla, Mont., was Pants Is Pants And Should ; Reader; Not Be Lent To Anybody, Believe Me! may be able to form reasonably ac- curate opinion as to what extent} life in the land where living is the| easiest and the best is being marred | by ungue anxiety and needless fear,| ; But tah» care in your investigations that your own outlook is sufficients ly intent to enable you to dodge the| automobiles the while you study the | faces of your fellow creatures.

Haynes opens his} description of enforcement condi- tions in the Times with the state- ment that “few men in any line or callng are subject to the temptation that besets the prohibition-enforo ment agent at almost every turn. The bootleg industry, Mr. Haynes declares, “illegally organized and playing a crooked game for tre- mendous stakes, counts only as a) small part of the cost the millions it! is every ready to pour into pockets! of prohibition agents who will list- en to its allurement. .. . Millions| of dollars piled upon other millions are strewn carelessly the | pathway of those engaged in law| enforcement.” this Mr. Continuing in Haynes gives detail. The largest bribe offer of which he has had knowledge was $300,000 a week, or $14,000,000 a year, for “‘look- ing “i.. other way.” It was not ac- epted, but other bribes have been. | In numerous instances,” we are in- formed, ‘‘the briber has been) caught. red-handed in the perform-| ance of his work.” Mr. Haynes leaves it to be inferred that in in-| stances even more numerous the briber was not caught. No other argument ever brought | forward has demonstrated so com+ pletely the break-down of enforce- ment and the futility of Volstead rohibition as this exposition by the Fead of the federal prohibition bu- reau. The morale of no_ police force could endure the assault of so much organized cash. There are al- ways weaklings who can be cor rupted, and their corruption affects the temper. of the whole: depart- ment.
