Ee DO YOU FAVOR DECENCY? i We are wondering just how well-informed the people of Casper are with reference to the moral status of their city, and what transpires daily and nightly; not only in sections which have hereto: fore borne an unsavory reputation, but in portions of the city where famnilies reside and respectability "reigns. The: press has furnished considerable data in the past several weeks of much disorder created by undesirables that discloses all too plainly that the Sandbar district has recovered from the midsusn- mer shut down and is again flourishing in all its pristine putridness. Raids and arrests haye been tonducted, yet the Sandbar seems possessed of more lives than a tom cat. Each time it emerges } from a contest with the authorities, it brushes the dust from its scarlet habiliments and continues to flourish its uncleanliness in the face of the public. i This is sufficient to arouse the indignation of | every respectable man and woman in Casper; but | what will be said and done by these people when they are told that the scarlet woman and her un- derstudy, the semi-respectable woman, have in- vaded many of the residential districts and are ply- ing their nefarious professions within stone’s throw | of the homes of those who abhor sin in all of its | phases. ° There is positively no excuse for the situation that exists. The social evil should be stamped out and if must be if the younger generation is to be brought up in the ways of righteousness. The men and women who will guide Casper's future must be clean morally, physically and mentally. They cannot be this in an atmosphere polluted with evil. When immorality fastens itself upon a com- imunity it is in no sense modest. Its ambition is to grow and wax strong and to destroy, the good and ' beautiful. It encroaches with the slightest encour- | agement. If given an ifich it invariably takes a yard. | It is assumed that most people desire that the ! community in, which they reside and* where they bring up their children, have their friends and | neighbors, they want that community moral and respectable. They want things wholesome. They don’t want to be constantly stumbling over a mess | of unsavory conduct. They don’t want the rules | of cammon decency openly violated and flouted be- fore the eyes of themselves, their families and their friends. We take it that a very large majority of the people of Casper'very much desire to see, hear and know much less about bootlegging, gambling and traffic in shame. They would like these blem- ishes removed from community life. They suffer | these wrongs to exist because it is a nasty job to get rid of them. They leave it to city and county official authority, but they omit even so much as a word of encouragement or counsel,’ While the wish for a better condition remains unuttered. To bring about the desired condition of. de- ¢éhey requires nothing more than a crystalized de- | mand upon the authorities, who will be very ready 4 act when the matter is présented to them. In act some very excellent preliminary éfforts if the tight direction have already been made... The ad- vantages so far obtained should not- be permitted to languish, The evils referred to are entitled to ng consideration whatever.

The Wilson cabinet canndt come down to earth | a ry in matters of expenée: They cannot {minds of the idea that the people ‘ ‘ploited.

Mr. Mondell, the house leader, has’ already outlined the Republican program and it bears no resemblance to the Democratic estimates. of the government's needs for next year. ‘The country has confidence in Mr. Mondell andl the Republican congress in lifting such burdens as is possible from the backs that are breaking under the load of Democratic misthanagement. It is to be regretted that in raiding Seah les parlors the higher ups: are scarcely ever “caught. |1 If there is a sincere desire to break Up the for- | bidden practice yank out the keystones of the pro- feldon and the arch will fall instantly, } THE. NEED OF LENROOT. There is not the slightest doubt that Mr. Hard- ing, when he assumes the presidency, will desire to make Senator Irvine L. Lenroot of Wisconsin, a member of his official. fatnily. There are severa! different positions in the cabinet that he would fil with honor, both to the"administration and to him- | ,,,\V° belf. It is a question, however, whether Senator Lenroot tegards his first duty to his country to re- main in the senate and perform the work for which the pedple of Wisconsin so overwhelmingly | selected him or to assume a part in the administra- tion. , i Senator Lenroot. is needed in both places. And while he will in either situation be equally a part of | ‘the administration his greatest work lies before him in the senate. His guiding mind, his great ability, | his profound knowledge of the law, his élear con- ception of international duties and obligations: are of the highest importance in the great part the | senate will perform in the ensuing years. Tt is doubthil if the senate membership will ‘onsent to surrender him to the president however great may appear the need of him in the cabinet, Snator Lenroot naturally becomes. one of the great leaders of, the serfate as it will be organized after Match 4. He is in every particular fitted fo, the duties that will ‘rest upon him and in evéry way deserving of the honors that will come to hira. We believe the country, if consulted, Would prefer to have Senator Learoat remain in the sen- ate and continue to serve in his present high capac ity, than to see him assume other duties as a cabi- met officer and disturb the great record he has be- gun atid not yet completed. The ban on bull fighting in Mexico was lifteci with the inatiguration of Obregon. | Circumstances and administration make no difference in our na- tional sport, bull throwing. It goes on forever. HAS WASPISH DISPOSITION. lt was rather a “‘get together” ticultutal joint committee had with Gov. Harding of the federal reserve board the other day. This particular Harding person must have a waspish dis- position. He doesn’t seem calculated to gét along wth folks. About every other time he is called into consultation with reference to the public busi- ness things go up in smoke arid meeting breaks up with everybody cussing the governor of the re- serve board. Whete ‘did Wilson dig this gentleman io? And | just why does he assume so much importance? In other and more elegant terms, where does he get that stuff > . Tt is. not understood that he is anything more than an ordinary Wilson appointee. That ought to be enough: He seems to be just about 43 meddle- some, officious and contemptible as that other bril- | liant financial .genius—John Skeleton Williams—if that's his middle name, How very comforting it is to know that’ there are only eighty-three more days in which such birds may strut in their brief authority and Play. their fantastié tricks before high Heaven. HAND | THEM THEIR HATS. The people not only want to say good-by to’ Mr. Wilson on March 4, but to every Wilson ap- pointée to a position of trust as Well. They signi- fied that desire in the huge protest aghinst Wilson- ism on November 2. It is entirely unlikely, there- fore, that the senate will ¢onfitm the appoigiments now pending before it. Rather will the appointees’ be permitted to go out of office automatically when congress comes to an end on the 4th of March. By so doing President Harding will have a free rein for his own policies without, being hampered by a fot of Wilson holdovers. WHO WOKE BENSON UP?
