GOV. CAREY’S MESSAGE Governor Carey’s message to the Fifteen General assembly is one of the most intelligent documents that has ever emanated from the execu- tive chambers of the Wyoming state capitol. Devoid of generalities, sub- terfuges or misleading phraseology, the governor’s message stands out clear-cut, without a semblance of any ragged edges for misunderstanding. The governor’s address to the leg- islators of the present session is a forceful appeal for efficient legisla- tion, yet lacking any domineering at- \itude. He recommends the elimina- by the London Times, he says: “Translated into practice, the fivc points of Bolshevism really come t jthis: (1) High wages; (2) don’t work; (3) take other people’s prop ‘erty; (4) no punishment; (5) no tax ation.”” ; He speaks from long acquaintanc and careful observation of the ok regime and the new. He has know: Russia for 30 years. And as a resul of more than a year of Bolshevism “never have the working classes o | Russia suffered as they are sufferin- at the present moment. I have neve jseen or dreamed of the possibilit of such corruption, tyranny and th ubsence of all semblance of freedor as there are in Russia at the presen moment.” He concludes that the future o Russia is hopeless. But surely ther is hope even in the extermity c such an evil situation. A social an political diseese when it becomes ba enough tends to cure itself. ‘Sure’ the Russian masses will understan sooner or later, the origin of the evi they suffer, and repudiate the sy: tem which is responsible before the | themselves are utterly destroyed. I not, we are tempted to lose our fait ‘not merely in human nature but i that common sense which, is sup !posed to be the heritage of all races BOYS AND REVOLVERS ° A bill has been introduced in Cor gress to prohibit the shipment of e: plosives and firearms to minors. J tion of wasteful extravagances, urges. is meant primarily to prevent the pur the adoption of salaries commensur- ate with what is to be expected of an employe of the people, the aboli- tion of nondescript offices and the creation of others necessary, in the belief of the governor, to carry on good government. Practically every phase of state government is discussed. Every sub- ject is treated intelligently, yet with such understanding that even a small boy could define its meaning. The governor is unflinching in his recom- mendations affecting the immediate enaction of legislation on which Re- publican candidates pledged them- selves prior to election. He Warns against back-sliding and appeals for harmony in all matters that has to do with the betterment of the state. “I assure you one and all, regard- less of your poliical affiliations, that I stand ready to co-operate with any of you in anything that is for the good of Wyoming or the pcople of the state,” is Governor Carey's clos- ing statement and summarizes his whole message as to his attitude and policy as chicf executive of the great inland empire of Wyoming. ——-9——__—— A CENTURY OF GROWTH The world is anxious to get back to business. gling with its domestic trade prob- lems, while it awaits impatiently the assembling of the peace confereace and the results of its findings, wHich Every country is strug- will go so far toward establishing a{ basis for tions. international trade rela- In view of the present situation it is interesting to review a little of the past history of world commerce, to recall that just 100 years ago the greatest factor in the development cf world trade was l!aunched—the steam-driven vessel for ocean traf- fic. It was in 1818 that the Savannah, planned by Daniel Dod of Virginia) built in New Fickel and York by Francis sailed from New York to Sa- vanneh and thence to Liverpool, the first ocean “liner.” At that time world trade was esti- mated at about $2,000,000,000. In 1918 it stood at a value of ,000,- 000,000. The rapidity of its growth in the last 100 years is due first to the steamship, then the railroad and tele- graph and telephone lines, and last but far from least, the establishment of sound financial and banking sys teme. It is hard to realize that the past 109 years have seen more develop- ment in world trade than all the pre- vious time in the history of man, and that much of this development is due to inventions which are the pro- duct of the present generation. One thing, however, is certain: In- ternational peace ‘s vital, for upon” it hangs international trade and the welfare of the world eee eng PRINCIPLES OF BOLSHEVISM People who have been trying, without much success, to learn pre- cisely what Bolshevism stands for, may. derive enlightenment from the statement of Dr. Oudendijik, Dutch minister in Petrograd.

When the casualty lists are finally completed, it is going to be unhappily evident that there was great need of this legislation, and that the field for donations will be a large one. The suggestion is made that people who profited greatly in war work may cll contribute largely, but the do- ions should not be limited to this class alone.
