Register complaints before § o'clock, - EO We Have Wandered Tu his talk to the Congregationalists at Washington the other day Vresidet Coolidge put his finger upon the real cause of lawlessness in the country. “The people have wandered away from religion.” That sentence is all inclusive. It accounts for ull of the other omissions, that others have pointed’ to, as prime causes and reasons for the things complained about, The worry has been altogether too much on account of the younger generation, The younger generation is not so much to blame as is the older generations, The elders have done the most of the wandering. They have not remained at home enough to teach the younger folks in the way they should go. There can be no high class citizenship without a proper home aud deyotion to religion. It is not so important which of the creetls is followed. Any one of them is good, because all of them teach adherence to the right. ‘Che right is easily im- parted und after all it is the cornerstone, of about everything essential in life. The president is not only right in bis diagnesis but he is wise as well. We have wandered far from religion. And by religion we are not meaning anything else than the right in everything, our public duty, our private duty, our business or profession, in fact every activity in which we are engaged. Keligion is uot church membership. Not following the forms and requirments. It is more in discovering what is right, fair, just and decent, aud practicing these things in daily life, Ad- mitting, that we have, like the children of Israel, turned from the true path and have set up other objects for worship, there is hope in the church activities that are going on under our yery eyes. The Catholic mission recently held in our city imparted some wonderfully direct lessons, and performed a work for righteousness, unequalled since the days of Moses. The Cutholies are to be honored for this, The Methodists through their noonday meetings are tak- ing a commendable step. Other congregations through their frequent meetings and other efforts are constantly pointing the way and bringing home lessons for the good, The world is showing an inclination for the better and safer things. Pos- sibly this showing is not so evident, as the showing of crime and wrong, but stilldtis being felt-and-its influence is work- sivadily. Hope is in no sense to be abandoned. At Variance With Facts \ college president, speaking to students, says the trouble With the world is that it hasn’t enough idealists, It is more likely tut the trouble with the world is that it bas too many idealists. Idealists believe in the power of the spirit, in the goodness which is-in the heart of things, in the triumph which is in store for the great moral ideas of the race. But this faith ouly too often leads to on optimism which is sadly and fatally at yariance with actual results. We know from history that it is the realist and not the idealist who generally is justified by eveuts. We forget, that the human spirit, the spirit of goodness and truth in the world is only au infant erying in the night, aud that the strugglo with darkness is as yet mostly an unequal struggle, Most of our ideatists are young, Someone bas said that idcalism is the vice of youth. In what is surely one of the greatest novels of our time, “Of Humau Bondage,” Maugham has observed: P “It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who haye lost it; but the youth know they are wretched, for they ure full of the truthless ideals which haye been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real they are bruised and wounded. “It looks as if they were victims of a*conspiracy for the books they read, ideal by the necessity of selection, and the conyersation of their elders, who look back upon the past through a rosy haze of forgetfulness, prepare them for an un- real life, They must discover for themselves that all they have read and all they have been told are lies, lies, lies; and each discovery is another nail driven into the body on the cross of life. The strange thing is that cach one who has gove through that bitter disillusionment adds to it in bis turn, unconsciously, by the power within him which is stronger than himself.” Henry Is for Coolidge Henry J. Allen, former governor of Kkansas, at one time a leader in the Progressive movement says: “The re-election of President Coolidge for another term is virtually a foregone couclusion, Outstanding in the work of the Coolidge adminis- tration lies the decentralization of a ‘fungus of bureaucracy in government and tax reform’ The keynote of the Coolidge ad- ministration up to now, and must continue somewhat the same in the future, is the solution of economic problems. No presi- dent bas wet his peculiar problems more effectively than has the president, He has recognized that the demand of the times is economy.” ‘The Locarno Agreement Professor Edwin Borchard of the international law de partment at Yale, remarks: “Treaties alone have never yet preserved peace and unless those underlying conditions which have made of Burope a hot-bed of hatred, distrust, fear and despair are now approached with something broader than a purely rationalistic viewpoint, the treaties of Locarno will not change the situation materially, The real test of the efficacy of the Locarno treaties will probably come in the next fire years und the criteria are likely to be their effect on the lim- itation of armament, While Versailles may be gradually molded by agreement to a more rational structure it is nevertheless, while unamended, a menace to peace. Will Locarno temper. those conditions?” The Benefits of Tariff In a letter read hefore the Southern States Republican League at Birmingham, Ala., Richard H, Udmonds said: “We are living in a time then grent international forces are seek- ing to break down our tariff. The south has heretofore had the benefit of a protective tariff on some of its interests, but al- most wholly by reason of the work of protection leaders of the north and west. Without their work the larger Industrial de velopwent which the south bas already made would never haye been achieved. We are indebted. therefore, to the very people. the protectionists of the weat and north, against whom the south often arrays itself, for much of the prosperity we have had? It is said that they are now finding a lot of real estate in Florida that they didp’t know they bad before. | << ke vibe “| mentary, conference and the World Topics decisions of the re ef’ the Interpariia- yalue of the union were discussed ‘recent- y by Brig.

This imposing mant- festation, this clear Indicution in fayor of peace, was in itself a jus- ideation of the conference, “A good many people have asked whether the utility of the Inter- parliamentary Union was not over now that the League of Nations is In existence, It played an un: doubtedly importarft part in the past, preparing the way for the creation of the league; but now that there is a clearing house at Geneva why should parliamen-: tarlans without direct authority meet and debate questions, which generally come up for discussion ut Geneva as well? “The answer is that as the Leugue of Nations does not includé all the nations of the world, the Interpar- Mamentary Union is still the, only organization wherein every nation can meet and debate questions af- fecting the whole world. Then, also, representatives of govern: ments alone meet at Geneva; the decisions are official and must be put forward as governmental! meas- ures, The parliamentary aspect ts entirely lacking in the discussions of the league; the views of power ful minorities are never” heard; whereas in the Interparllamentary Unton. all views find expression just as they do in national parliaments. “Not only is this important in that all grievances can be ‘red, ventilated and examined by repre- sentatives from all other nations, thus relieving many pent-up feel- Ings and doing away with many @ sense of injustice, but it: fur- nishes a kind of lower chamber to the league, a forum where all political parties of all nations can put forward their ideas and their aspirations and where decisions are taken which really do represent world public opinion.” Who’s Who One of the prominent military figures now in the Mmelight is Bris.

As this ia a matter of public in- terest, some of the misinformation which the anonymous taxpayer at- tempts to spread will be refuted tn this article, which is not anonymous. ‘The span of the suggested viaduct at Walnut and the Chicago & North: western tracks at the height neces: sary to clear railroad property is about 800 feet.

The zoning commission, has as much regard for the taxpaying abillty of Casper citizens as any other group, but the logic of thé anonymous-enginecr-taxpayer in crabbing about the eventual ex- penditure of a few hundred thou- sands In the orderly development of streeté as they are-of making tho best of what we have—and then in the next breath advocating a project that would cost the taxpayers mil- lions is not apparent.
