Whether or not its obligations can be met and its prob lems worked out, we do not know’. But, at least an effort should be made to do something with the proposition. If it cannot be used as a club house, it would be better to convert it into a Dr. Frank Crane Says— THERE IS A LAWBREAKER WITHIN YOU The great lawbreaker is greed. Of course men break laws because of other passions, such as love, re venge, vanity and the like. But greed breaks the law twenty times to where any, other feeling breaks it once. The mainspring of every burglar’s and pickpocket’s career is greed. They want “dough” and they want it quick. Hence the blackjack and the break ing and entering. Old people are waited for with ira residence or use it for other purposes, patience and not waited on with love. As the ~irroijinds and club house now stand—they are a poor advertisement for the two towns. AN INCREASING DRAIN The manner in which taxes are mounting and the staggering burdens they are putting upon all the people should give concern to every individ ual who has any interest in the fu ture of our country. It seems to be easy to incur obligations and get into debt and correspdndingly difficult to curtail extravagance and get free from our bond, warrant and interest bur dens. ~ ^ While federal taxes have, been re duced by hundreds of millions since 1921, state and local taxes have risen twice as fast as federal taxes have been reduced. Local taxes of munici palities and districts of one sort and another, which are organized on vari ous pretexts for the purpose of levying some new form of tax, are responsible for the orgy we are passing through. Every tax dollar comes from the pockets of the people. It does not frow on money trees. Every dollar wasted or spent unnecessarily is a dol lar of capital destroyed. It has ceas ed earning, developing and producing. Business and property cannot for ever endure this increasing drain, this steady confiscation of capital. because of greed. Many an unhappy marriage has its .ause in greed. Families are separated on account uf it and ancient grudges were found ed. • * Laws are passed at its instigation.

At all times th« president seemed in the best of spirits and health. He liked to talk about the fishing he indulged in while at the park and he always had plenty of interested listeners. A slight sunburn was noticeable about his face. However, his outdoor life during the sumnier in the Black Hills had given himJla substantial tan to meet the bright sun while fishing in the park. In both Montana and Wyoming Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge were asked to re turn after they had left the cares of the White House. This invitation also was given by Senator Kendrick (Dem ocrat) of Wyoming, who spoke from the observation platform beside the president when the special stopped at 9 o’clock last night at Sheridan. A large and enthusiastic crowd was on hand and called for a speech. The president was all smiles and seemed about to break his rule against back platform speeches, but he refrained. Likewise, Mrs. Coolidge seemed ben efited by the week’s outing. When Senator Kendrick introduced her as “not only the first lady of %he land, but the most gracious of any land,” the crowd roared its approval. The special train reached Custer, S. D., early today and before 7 o’clock the president, Mrs. Coolidge and John uty sheriff and more recently as sher iff of Anderson county. He has five children, the oldest son married and living in Anderson. He said that the other children would move to Colum bia with Mrs. Sanders next week. He related that he would return to Ander son Saturday afternoon in order to make preparations to move to Colum bia about the middle of the week.

The money could have been raised in a much better way by simple processes of justice. Greed was equally behind the ac tivities of Robin Hodid of yore and the modern legislator. The principle upon which they acted is the same. They took money from those who had it as an excuse that they were protecting those.who had it not.

This spirit is strikingly exemplified each- summer in the holding of the union services with all churches in the city entering into the custom. The idea of holding these union services is an excellent one and they contribute in a large measure, even more than one might think, to a feeling of broth erhood and Christian fellowship in the community.
