Some day the smouldering impatince of the moral people of the City of Casper will burst into flame, and the police department will be, figura- tively, tossed upon the gridiron. These officers will have no defense, then, as they have none now, for permitting the general depravity that exists under their yery noses, an could not possibly exist without their knowledge. When these men are lined up to answer an aroused citizenship as to why they have not per- formed their sworn duty, why they haye not driven out gambling, prostitution and other forms of evil that are now debauching the risiag generation they will have no excuse to offer. For they have e knowledge of it all and they have the power 1 the law within their own hands and further they | have taken oath to do these things. Yet they have | not and do not do them. These officers may side step for yet a short while longer, but they do so with the: assurance | that the day of reckoning is coming. And it will not be a good day for them. It will be better to | do their publi¢ duty while the opportunity yet re- mains. SENATOR WILLIS OF OHIO. The first official act ot Gov. Davis-of Ohio was | to accept the resignation of Senator Warren Hard- | ing and to appoint Senator-Elect Frank Willis to fill the vacancy to March 4, when Senator Willis will enter upon the regular term to which he was elected in Noyetnber last. \ It is true+that the retiring goyernor of Ohio, | James M, Cox, knowing this to be the result as soon as the new Republican governor came into power, offered to accomplish the purpose and avoid delay, but neither President-Elect Harding nor Sen- ator-elect Willis were willing to accept such cour- tesy at the hands of Mr. Cox. Inasmuch as he had, during the recent campaign, while the candidate of his party for the presidency, contributed more of slander and misrepresentation in the contest person concerned in the campaign. The people of Ohio generally approved of the attitude of Messrs. Harding and Willis, in permit- ting Republican political chores to be done by Re- publicans and the matter of sixty or ninety days’ time was of no particular moment. The fine point of Mr. Harding's declination of the proffered kindly offices of Mr. Cox was alto- gether lost upon a gentleman of the impervious epidermus worn by the late governor of Ohio, hut the nation caught the idea and smiled. THE COAL SCANDAL, Seemingly—no literally—it is just one scan- ile in the New York | ajl news credited in this paper and | | particular list it is shown that not only is rank fav- inst Mr. Harding and Mr. Willis than any other ; } | of the price. There are ample laws and adequate) | penalties against the abuse of public trust, j there are special laws against profiteering. — The | Weapons were in Mr. Palmer's hands, but his utter | impatency to, make them effective is common | knowledge. gekie: It has been brought out at the hearings that | the war department paid $9.25 a ton for coal that | cost anly $3.25 to preduce. Not only was that a] | big direct loss to the taxpayers but the transaction| | further served to hoast the price of ather sales. Sec retary Baker had complete authority to interfere ¢ | and prevent such extravagances, but he did noth- |ing. Other officials of the government demon- | strated their incompetence when they warned the country against a fictitious coal famine and stim- lulated prices accordingly. : A president with more concern for his own countrymen, than for the alleviation of the troubles of foreigners, would have stepped in and peremp- torily ordered his subordinates to ‘take the action hat would have saved the people from excess fuel | expenditures of hundreds of millions of dollars, | but, of course, he remained in the seclusion of the | White House, listening to voices in the air, and ar- ranging the boundaries of Dalmatia, Jugo-Slavia and heayen knows what other mushroom republics of the old world. | NO EXECUTIVE SESSIONS—NO CONFIRMATIONS | By the expedient of abandoning executive ses- | sions the United tSates senate will not take up for | action the thousands of recess appointments made ; by President Wilson in the, closing months of his | administration. | Many of these appointments were long delayed | and the president's action has all of the appearance | of an attempt to load up the incoming administra-|’ | tion with a class of appointees of a different political | | party, none of whom would be in sympathy with | the administration under which they would serye.' | Under ordinary circumstances the action of the | senate, which in effect defeats the presidential nom- | inations, would be termed purely political, and as | such would be open to criticism by the public. It | cannot be se considered, howeyer, for tbe presi- dent has neglected within reasonable time to fill the existing vacancies and at the last moment seeks to fill important offices with Democrats who serve publican president. The action of the senate is receiving very gen- eral commendation and more especially is it ap- proyed'so far as the army list is concerned. In this oritism shown in the advancement ef officers, but | establish rules of seniority are grossly. ignored, much to the detriment of the seryice., It simply} ‘reorganizes the war establishment without consult-| ing the wishes ar judgment of the new commander- | in-chief. H If there is political trickery in the matter, the president introduced it, but the senate checkmated. IN THE ENEMY’S COUNTRY. | A woman office ‘holder is no longer a novelty in. the West.
