There has been no time the present win- ter that the roads in Natrona and the several sur- rounding counties, have not been in excellent travelable conditions. If you have had occasion to use them you know this without the telling. Wherever roads have been kept up during the summer and fall and crowned so that they drain themselves in wet weather, there are good roads today. It is, the maintenance that tells when the bad spells come on the ordinary roads. The road that remains flat, undrained, or has.been neglected is the samt old impassable morass of yore. The moment you strike a stretch tha? has had care in the past, you are aware of it, and upon these | stretches, you rely to make time on your journey. Natrona county spent a vastly greater sum upon! her county roads last year than any other county in the state. Tt was worth the investment and we do not believe the people will ever regret the cost. But with all of our own efforts in the construc- tion of better roads we would have still been in a sorry plight were it mot for the improve- ment and maintenance performed by the state highway department. It is to be hoped that a way may be found to continue the same excellent class of work, that the state has commenced, to the end that ‘a com- , plete state system is built before we are called where the paving is done in gold. We believe the people of the state desire good roads, in spite of the defeat of recently proposed bond issues. Possibly we have been too enthusi- astic or urged good roads too strongly. Be that as it may the people will realize the differenc between good and bad roads this winter and the argument will be closed in favor of roads that can be used when you want to use them. Good sense always prevails in the end. eS Do If you are sowing seeds of kindness be wise enough to select a soil in witich they will grow. cA See HOW HE WILL BE CONTROLLED You get a bit weary by hearing from those,'who do not know what they are talking about, that Warren Harding will be controlled by this faction or elethent of the Republican party, this interest or that in the business or financial world or the “senate oligarchy.” This sort of clatter is indeed clatter. There is no justification for it and no indication of it. We tare sure Warren Harding has given ample evi- dence in his public as well as his private career that he is a man among men. There is nothing in his record ta proclaim the weakling. Vacilla- tion, indecision, fickleness, these characteristics are not his in his life heretofore. They are not ex- pected to appear. later. He never has been, from boy to man, easily subject to influence, or been a person of whim or fancy. Rather has he been firm and positive. Some have said too much so. His life’s schooling has developed a man entirely different from the kind of person these erroneous allusions indicate. Harding is a kindly disposed, reasonable man. Ready to counsel or discuss with any man the affairs of life. Gifted with keen perception and possessed of the faculty of assimiliation. He de- sires nothing less than the right. If your notions do not fit in with his own, he does not curtly in- form you that you are all wrong. He does not set up his own as the superior and the cor- rect plans, He develops the best of yours and his own into a composite and in the result you get a glimpse of one of his leading characteristics— conciliation. He cannot be arbitrarily nor eveu diplomatically fny other leading drug store.—Adv, dictated to. Men will not attempt these things with him. _ They will readily recognize the futility. With Harding it is pretty much the same story that it has been with other chief magistrates. Lincoln, even, was viewed as subject to the in- fluence of certain strong members of his cabinet. Nothing was farther from the fact. For if ever an American president marked a clear course, adhered to it and proved it wise in opposition to views held by his cabinet members, Lincoln was that man. McKinley, the most gentle and lovable of presi- dents, was thought a weak reflection of Mark Hanna, a strong, vigorous character to whom McKinley was deemed under obligations. Both were misjudged in the beginning. McKinley used his own head, vigorously prosecuted, a war en- forced his economic ideas and brought the country to its highest record of prosperity. Mark Hanna lent every ounce of strength and business sagacity to the president's plans and their successful estab- lishment. Mark Hanna believed’ absolutely in William McKinley. ‘Recognized his ability and wisdom. Believed that it was to the highest in- terest of the country to make William McKinley the president. He did much to accomplish this result and when he himself went to the senate from Ohio, he asked the president what he could do, along with his efforts for the benefit of their countrymen. ; And now comes Harding, somewhat of the same type as McKinley, with the strong faith and pa- tience of Lincoln, who does not hesitate to place his reliance in his maker to guide and direct him in the great task before him. > The people need have no fears. Warren Harding will not be controlled, save by his own wisdom and conscience. ——__o——_—_—_. CALLS ’EM PIPE DREAMERS Germany is pteved. She is bawling her head off. The particular and immediate cause of her state of mind is the fifty-two billion reparation bill presented by the allies. The sizeableness of the sum is admitted by those interested, but they say it only approximately represents the legiti- mate claims and if the high cost of war damage were asserted in full it would amount to practical confiscation of the Fatherland. Speaking for Germany, the Berlin Tageblatt says: “The Paris conference ‘resolved itself into an aggregation of pipe-dreamers, doing mental gym- nastics with figures in billions, in the same manner that the Oriental seems to delight in a paradise through opium smoke. For Germany the action of the conference excites only curiosity and a cer- tain degree of psychological interest. Germany will have the opportunity in Brussels and London to dissipate these grandiose pipe-dreams. If these fine, fanciful dreamers want to find us a willing vayer they should come down from the clouds and put their feet on earth again.’ ” On the day Germeny turned loose her dogs of war to overrun Europe, she did not reckon the cost. And on the day when the Hohenzollern tribe sat down by the camp fire to partition the world a few billions more or less were inconse- quential. Germany was drunk in that day. She is sober now and rid of the piratical band that led her on. Her old time frugality has reasserted itself. She don’t want to pay for a dead horse and she is stalling and whining. She is not half the sport she was when she marched against Ver- dun, with her solid blocks of infantry. She is a mighty poor loser. However, it will avail her nothing to cry over spilled milk now. She is simply up against the proposition of getting into the collar and digging up the ‘revenue like France did in 1870 and liquidating the fiddler’s bill, for the dance she in- vited the world to attend. She will gain no sympathy from her present attitude. If she is to get help from the world in her troubles she will have to show a better dispo- sition. Be eee GUARANTEES SAFETY . Mr. Harding says we must maintain our navy. “Our navy is the great wall of America. I be- lieve that a navy that is almost good enough, in the end, will prove more costly to the safety of the United States than no navy at all. More and more are wars won upon the’seas. We have learned that in the great war, where so much attention was given to land fighting, the key to victory, during the entire course of the conflict was found in the naval power of the allies. “Tt is the navy that guarantees us against in- vasion. It is the navy that guarantees us the ability to send armies overseas if the need ever comes. We want no navy for conqtest. We would all like to reduce armaments, but so long as there| is need for American national defense we must maintain our navy, not only in its material strength, but in the morale and capacity of its officers and aaa aS = men.” Pees PSII 7 as EY Votes for Women!

National headquarters al- lows the post 60 days in which to renew memberships before names are dropped from the rolls of the na- tional organization. Up to date 182 members of the post have brought in their retewals, and the member- ship drive which is to be put on with- in the next two weeks is expected to bring the total up beyond 864, which was the memtership of the post last year. The Casper post has always been the largest and the strongest) \ in the state and the officers of the local post do not intend to allow it to relinquish the distinction to any other post in the department of Wyo- ming. The office of Post Adjutant Fred w. jo is always.open for the is- sue of membership cards, and it is urged that as many of last year’s membership as possible should come in and renew their membership for the coming year before the campaign for new members begins. Each man who brings in his own membership materially lessens the work of the committee, and it is felt that they are going to have sufficient work on their hands at the best.
