No good citizen desires another year to go by with the same miserable results‘as haye marked the year just closed. The situation calls for unity of spirit and action on the part of all decent, law abiding people, for many who pretend’ to be decent, law abiding at heart sympathize with and uphold certain breaches of the law. Tt will not be through sheer weight of num- bers that America will be made better than it has been in the past but by the quality of ser- vice- rendered Millions want soft jobs, short hours, big pay, a pocket full of cigarettes, and no responsibility for the success or failure of the enterprise that supports them. Multitudes of others will not work at ali if they can help it. The mitlions who do honest faithful work and support the religious. and philantrophic insti- tutions and thriving industries of the country, have a gigantic task on their hands to sustain the nation’s wellbeing in the face of present facts and conditions. These millions understand the force of the poets’ further admonition: ‘ Ill fares the land toghastening ills a prey, Where wealthaccumulates and men decay; Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade; A breath can make them as a breath has made; - But a bold peasantry, their country’s. pride, When once destroyed can never be supplied. But times are altered; trades unfeeling train Usurp the land and dispossess the swain; Along the lawn where scattered hamlets rose Univiveldy wealth and cumbrous pomp repose. “Backbiting’ "(Condemned | ley, the founder of Methodism, and tes condemned “backbiting’ when this great religious sect was first launched in England. This is revealed by some old docu- ments recently sold at auction in London. These early Methodists got together and joined in an agreement condemning “backbiting” as a sin to be avoided in their brotherhood. The document is in John Wesley’s handwriting and reads follows: It agreed by us whose names are under- written: ‘ W John his hters, i no sin can be more far-reach-) That we will not listen, or willingly inquire n the neglect of childhood.

Z of these warmade rich are bowling bout in costly motor cars, filling expensive hotels, patronizing criminal bootleggers, indulg- ing in all manner of luxury and in many ways flaunting their riches in the faces of the less fortunate. This is the cause of much of the ‘rime. It is luxury and law defiance like this that has overthrown the buried empires of the past. Can this country expect to survive if such practices spread? : Furthermore, the Bolshevistic doctrines, “if you see what you want take it, *tis yours,” has permeated the brains of more sapheaded and yrazen-hearted youth in America than is dreamed of by most of our smugly contented citizens, Oliver Goldsmith, in comparing the humble irtues of Sweet Auburn in its early days with ts later luxury and indulgence, sang a song which Americans can well consider: O Luxury! thou cursed by Heaven's decree, How ill exchanged are things like these for thee! I lo thy potions, with insidious joy gdoms by thee, to sickly greatne grown, ast of a florid vigor not their own At every draught more large and large they grow 4 bloated mas f rank, unwieldy woe; , sapped their strength, and every part un- sound, Down, down they sink, and spread a ruin round.

Wall Street has every reason to sire agricultural _ prosperity. When rural prosperity is missing that of Wall Street is largely gone. Tt is high time to disabuse a large part of the public of the notion that in panics or depressions, bankers wax fat. They do not, they suffer. To believe anything elge is to show an utter ignorance of the A B © of economies. During the war demagogues spread the lie that bankers welcomed hostilities—indeed, that they had brought on the fighting—because it served with the orderly processes of banking. emphasized now during a time when politicians are not vexing the air with bunk calculated to help them get votes. What the railroads, the grangers and some of the manufacturers have started should be taken up by other elements in the country that a better understanding may be achieved, to the end that foolish and hurtful strife be done away with.

Editor Tribune: May I ask the courtesy of space !n your columns to mentlor a matter of vital impor- tande to the welfare of this city and its future progress. Recently your editorials have dealt lucidly and vigotously with the fine prospects for [commercial and. industrial de- velopment inthis new year 1925. From. the material standpoint you have@ made out an excellent case for confidence and optimisnt on the part of our ‘people, and there can be little doubt that your forecast of substantial. progress and increas- ing |prosperity will be realized. Rut T have looked in vain for any, mention of the Christian church in the program of development. Sure- ly the church stands for, and seeks to Hromote all that is best in man- hoof and national life, the things which make life .sweet and whole- sopse and worth while, and without which thero can be no true progress or prosperity. Doubtless. many of your readers may think the church has/no relation to the busineés life of the community, ‘and some may eten consider it a clog upon the wheels -of progress. ‘This may ac: count for’the fact that many nen ure |not found in the church either on \the Sunday or week-day eve- nings. I'am: told by some who should know better than I that the ma- Jority of the men of Casper do not attend any church. Is this correct? If so, why? Is it the fault of the church or the preachers? Are they out ‘of touch with modern life and its problems? Or is it just care- lesshess or frreligion that keeps men from coming te church?
