One of the most useless things in the world is to stir up ill-feeling over a matter of county divi- sion, One of the worst things in the world is to break faith with one another aver such questions. It is but natural that the large counties of Wyo- ming should be broken up into reasonable areas as rapidly as communities build up and attain wealth and population sufficient to sustain them- selves. The argument is altogether for subdivid- ing the large and unweildy territory and bring- ing local administration closer to the people. The proposed new county of McKinley, erected out of our neighbor, Fremont, should be given to the people who are applying for it. Je simply takes by natural boundaries the country tributary to Riverton, including 3,500 population, $6,000,- 000 property valuation, 1,500 square miles of ter- ritory, one-third the present irrigated area, leav- ing to the parent county 7,000 population, $16,- 500,000 property values, 10,500 square miles of territory, two-thirds of the irrigated area, all the coal measures, the Sand Draw gas field, the Pilot Butte, Muskrat and Alkali Butte ail fields, two- thirds of the railroad mileage and much other valuable property fer public and private revenue, The things asked by the new county are but a proper setting out for the young folks upon leav- ing the old hornestead and setting up housekeep- ing for themselves. It is the plain duty of the old folks to give the youngsters their blessing and help them on their way. And it would be a narrow and mistaken parental policy on Fremont county’s part to op- pose and attempt to defeat the ambition of Mc- Kinley county. The people of Fremont county are understood not to object to the creation of the new county, such objection as exists comes from the leaders of the old county and the basis of their objection is simply that they “don’t want division.” There is another feature in the whole matter that touches honor and justice and fairness among men in which the contrast between the people of the proposed new county and those of the mother county is entirely to the credit of the former At the election the appeal was made to those residing within the proposed county, for the sake of party, to support the candidate who happened to reside in the old county. The appeal came from high state officials, The McKinley county people did it even after a primary campaign in which there was some bitterness. good liberal people and did not seek to take any small revenge. They acted in perfect good faith and in return good faith should be shown them. The precedent, in the present legislature, is already set in the assurance of the new counties of Sublette and Jackson. It was only by narrow mar- gin that they could qualify for membership whereas McKinley county comes amply fixed in all the demands that are required, Fremont county in opposing the new county is showing a narrow spirit not justified by the senti- ment of her people. The legislature should not show favoritism by granting the right to form a county to one com- munity and withhold it from anothér, when all are equally qualified. Legislative action should be fair and just to all the people. ELEM eee A Te A SOMEWHAT PREMATURE It is a mighty change in sentiment to have been wrought in Germany in the brief time since the armistice from “God punish England” to ‘God bless England.” It is so sudden that its sin- cerity may be properly questioned. It is self-interest that inspires the calling down of celestial benedictions upon the head of the late “perfidious Albion,” at the present moment. Ger- man rationalists are looking te London for salva- tion. While France is demanding the immediate disbanding of special police in Bavaria and Fast Prussia and vigorously calling attention to delin- suency in carrying out obligations, the despised ‘o{were well founded and the special police are a Slonly in learning when Germany will cease “God “nation of aeanke ages i aL eS However, it is upon a purely unofficial basis that. Germany rests her hope that England does not desire to use compulsion toward her. PONZI'S GREAT OPPORTUNITY Differences of opinion exist in the British cabi-} Repiying to Gharies Ponzi's post card sent from the Plymouth jail con- taining this messagé, ‘Would it not be worth the five million I sued you for to have my disposition?” Mr. C, W. Barrow, the man who warned the public of the fraudulent character ‘of Ponzi's financial operations, took ‘the pains to reply at length and in- cidentally expound a sermon on hen- reached and the question of disarmament is still an international one’ Germany may have been chee too sudden in her invocation of divine favor. The British government may not be so willing to give up the clauses underscored by Mr. Lloyd Geege. Then it will only be a postponement of the disarmament period. If there is no communist danger, and none threatens at this time, reactionaries will make themselves ridiculous and gain nothing by creating trouble to prove to the allies that their assertions of integrity and are led on in their get-rich-quick schemes until ‘they come to grief upon the rocks of dis honesty. Mr. Barrow among other things say! “Although I have never personally seen you, I think I shall reply to your inquiry and say that no financial value can be put upon such a disposi: tion as you appear to have. You were perfectly happy taking in millions of money representing the hard-earned savings of your fellow countrymen with no thought of performing any service for the money. You evidently regarded the money ag your own and that it was a fair exchange for you to give them your notes and promises of 200 per cent interes. And then you spent the money for your per- sonal pleasure and investments. “When I told the public and the authorities what you were doing and necessity to preserve order. Subterfuge on the part of Germany will scarcely deceive the allies at this stage of the proceedings. French curiosity in the situation is concerned bless England” and resume “‘God strafe England.” THE CHARGE AGAINST US The United States commissioner of education makes the statement that 20,000 schools were gins, go every year into the hands of the weak and the wicker to be squan- dered and washed down the rivers that waste Into the ocegn of pblivion. “We have from many of ou sities the false teaching t) ww, the Jai t investme under the law of the spirit e Ha a 50 og oases i to work for his fellow man we haye some farms in Cohasset and | the right to take what men have ac- ham, where I produce certified milk | CUMUlated ahd divide it with their fel- to save the lives of children gnd|!°W men, which is just the reversal of babies wo never can return ks| the moral and spiritual law and is therefor.

Teachers throughout the country receive an an- nual average pay of $635, which is from $250 to $300 less than the wages of the commonest pick and shovel laborer. This fact alone tells why the shortage of school teachers. Our public school system has been gradually breaking down for a number of years. Year after year has witnessed more and more desertions from the profession by qualified persons, seeking other and better paid employment. And those who would naturalld furnisH the recruits to the profes- sion have qualified in other callings where the promises of reward were greater. During the war when the demand in specical lines was so urgent desertions from the school teaching profession were alarming. Only a small percentage of these have returned to school teach- ing. Boards of education in many instances have brought the pay of teachers to something near that of other employments and even this has not brought qualified teachers, for the very good rea- son that school teachers are not made in a few months: It requires anywhere from four to five years to produce such a teacher as you would select to instruct your own children. And to bring back the American public schools to the old standard of fifteen or twenty years ago, will re- quire first, very attractive salaries and five years’ time in which to develop the teacher. Meanwhile the rising generation is suffering, for our shortsightedness, and handicapped throughout life for our criminal neglect. A GOOD RIDDANCE Why all the hullabaloo about the unauthorized attempt to kidnap the miserable slacker, Berg- doll, who has finally found sanctuary in-the coun- try he refused to fight against when at war with his native land? The matter scarcely calls for an explanation on the part of the American govern- ment, much less an apology. If the American government was so fond of Bergdoll why did it not keep him when it had scrupulous attorneys and irresponsible officers to help ‘him to liberty after his conviction and im- prisonment? Who in the world would accept the pot of gold story except some Baker underling who had no business either in the army or in the war department? Let Germany keep Bergdoll. If she will under- take to guarantee that she will see to it that he never visits America again, so long as he cumbers the earth, we are satished. Traitor and coward that he is, he will find no ‘peace among those from whom he expected open arms of welcome. The * Germans have no more consideration for yellow dogs than have the people of other nationalities. It will be a pleasure to ship the remaining mem- bers of the Bergdoll family if our late enemy will receive them. pet AEH Ae TY oi To those contemplating a brief vacation to points in Nevada it is well to take along your heavy woolens.
