Now that the objections raised by Senator John Dillon of Fremont county in the case of Pilot sounty have been removed in the proposed crea- tion of McKinley county, the public awaits the revelation of just how big a man John Dillon is. Whether he is provincial and willing to confine his representation of Fremont county to a portion of that domain, largely restricted to the town of Lander, or whether he is faithful to the interests of his whole people and the interests of his state as well, and is broad enough to brush selfish and prejudiced considerations aside and lend his aid and his vote to the people of that portion of his county who are qualified and desire to set up a county of their own? John Dillon is regarded generally as a_sizable man with a future in public life if he desires it. He is a lawyer of splendid attainments, an ofator of finished accomplishments. He has. prestige, ability and industry that will carry him far. What will he do? Will he confirm the fears of some and prove just ordinary and disappointing or will he justify others and render justice and fairness in the big way which they claim is uniformly his in- clmation? Along with John Dillon the town of Lander has its opportunity. Will it rise to the occasion, ex- tend the glad hand of welcome and set about to aid in proper spirit or snarl and object and remain hopelessly small town? We believe Lander will manifest a sporting spirit, fully worthy of the many excellent and liberal-minded citizens who have helped make Lander what she is and are too broad to deny the people of another section of the same county the right to follow their footsteps, have their own government and gain whatever of prosperity they may earn. ao Of course, some cruel person must always take the joy out of life. Now the censor has eliminated all the “hells,” “‘damns”’ and other emphatic utter- ances from the Dawes testimony before the con- gressional war investigating committee. Dawes says, at these hearings a man must either cry or swear. Charley Schwab did the crying and he did the swearing. A ee HERE’S YOUR HAT—WHAT’S YOUR HURRY? Forty-nine members of the Democratic national committee have signed a communication to Chair- man \Vlite requesting him to call a meeting on March 1. There is a big fight on for committee control and it is McAdoo against Cox. That's the way it will be also in 1924. The McAdoos are determined to take the committee away from Cox by retiring White. They find him the stumbling block, hence the request for the meeting. Tt was Mr. Thomas Love of Texas, manager of the ill-fated McAdoo boom at San Francisco, who stirred up the trouble and issued the request to the chairman for the meeting that will separate him from his chairmanship and transfer the power from Cox to McAdoo: The letter from Mr. Love to Chairman White is good all the way through. It is a Democratic masterpiece, entirely worthy of the best efforts of any and all the Democratic bull-slingers, from T. Jefferson down to date. It is worth the space it occupies. It is a gem of composition, truth, feel- ing, delicate allusion and bunk of the purest qual- ity. Here is the document: “We the undersigned, members of the Demo- tratic national commmittee, proud of the history and traditions of our party, especially of its match- less record of achievement under the leadership of our great president, Woodrow Wilson, and aware of the solemn responsibility developing upon our party to fight constantly for the prin- ciples which have ever been its glory to be always militantly on guard as the champion of the rights of all the people, respectfully urge you to call a meeting of the Democratic national committee, to be held Tuesday, March 1, at St. Louis or other centrally located point, in order that the forces of| progress may be organized for continued construc- tive, patriotic action in the succeeding four years and for a righteous and richly earned victory in 1924. “We congratulate our chairman and his asso- ciates upon their valiant «and patriotic efforts in the recent campaign under the leadership of that splendid Democrat, Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio, and beg to wish for Mr. White many years of jhappiness and added usefulness upon the retire- ment which he announced, shortly after Novem- ber 2, his private interests will make it nécessary for him to seek.” . “Matchless record of achievement under the leadership of Woodrow Wilson,” is particularly fine. But, who, pray, in these United States of America does not know there is no such thing? Tt was largely due to this ‘matchless record” that the people piled up a majority of something like seven million against the party that fights “‘con- stantly for the princip]+s that have ever been its glory” and is “always militantly on guard as the champion of the rights of the people” and wants to “again organize its forces of progress for con- tinued constructive patriotic action.” Right now, while the country is suffering from these ‘very! things, no one except a Texas Democrat would have the gall to mention them. ; And then the ‘“‘valiant and patriotic efforts of the chairman” is fine, when the chairman is the very bird whose tail feathers Mr. Love can scarcely wait to pluck. So also, “leadership of that splendid Democrat, James M. Cox of Ohio.”’ We all know about his “leadership” and rather think it ought to be for- gotten or at least not mentioned in the presence of the public health authorities: At least the reference is a rather fine piece of deceit, for James is the person whom they are trying to push onto the toboggan slide. i The delicate allusion to Mr. White’s retirement is also in excellent taste. ‘ - Yes, verily, Democracy, thy name is hypocrisy. The lord mayor of Cork has disappeared as mysteriously as he came. + ———_——o—____—_ THE DANCE SITUATION Sheridan means to see to it that so-called im- moral dancing is eliminated from this form of recreation if it is possible by ordinance and cen- sorship to accomplish it. A drastic ordinance governing public dancing goes into effect in that city today, and under it gitls under eighteen years of age’are forbidden to attend public dances unless accompanied by par- ent-or guardian and violation of this section cat- ries with it a maximum fine of $100, Other city ordinances define what. are proper and improper dances under the city’s moral code. The underlying reason for Sheridan's action is doubtless the same that has alarmed almost every other city in the land with respect to dancing. Its indulgence is no longer rational. It is carried to excess) From a.delightful exercise it has been perverted into a display bordering on obscenity. License, liquor and jazz is the combination that has brought dancing to its present low state. The war, popularly blamed for every wrong and ill of later days, is not to be held answerable so much as is the natural depravity of the human family, when restraints are relaxed. It may have been a mistake when the churches, having stood from Puritan days firmly opposed to dancing, liberalized their discipline in answer to appeal by members for greater liberty. It may have been better had ‘the churches remained as inflexible in their rules as were the laws of the Medes and Persians, and continued to preach upon the subject, “From the Ball Room to Hell.” It is most assuredly a timely topic in this par- ticularly day. There was never greater need for some in- fluence, church or state, to lead the people back to sobriety and decorum. Unless there is reform in the present tendency in dancing, and more of the quality of decency reintroduced into the diversion; family tragedy is certain to follow family affliction and shame as night follows day. OO aT MY CREED I would be true, for there are those that trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much to suffer; I would be brave, for there is much to dare. I would be friend of all—the foe—the friendless; I would be giving, and forget the gift; I would be humble, for I know my weakness; I would look up—and laugh—and love—and lift. —Harold Arnold Walters.

SPRING SHOES ARE RIOTS OF COLOR, JEWELS, RIBBONS AND METAL, SAYS rina AEE ‘or Inited NEW YORK, Feb. are more elaborate and gor- geous than ever before, :although such a pedal state seems almost im- possible in view of the confections of footgear that have tripped about this past season. Shoe makers say that since, after long years in the attempt, they have convinced womankind that shoes must be as fragilely beautiful as gown or hat, they .do not intend any slump in their propaganda. Thus, spring footwear showings in manu- facturer display rooms are a riot of colored kid and fabric, metal, jewels, ribbons and composition. Gray seems to be the big choice in color, as shoes follow suit and coat, and blue and gray isthe big color feature in outer raiment for spring. There are many copper and red bi however, a few blacks and midnight blues, and the usual novelty combinations. Trimmings run rampant. A swirl of patterhed perforations with an Income Tax Facts You Should Know U Births, deaths and marriages during the year 1920 affect materially income tax returns for that year. Millions of babies were added to family circles, each of whom brings exemption of $200 in the parents’ i come tax return. ‘Widows and widowers! who lost their husbands or wives during the year are especially affected, They are single for the purposes of the income tax Jaw and are granted only an exemption of $1,000, unless the head of a family. Persons who were divorced or sepa- rated by mutual agreement during the year also must consider themselves as single persons. . The status of the taxpayers on De- cember 31, 1920 determines the amount of the exemptions. If on that day the taxpayer was married and living with wife or husband, claim may be made for the $2,000 exemption. If single, or married and not living with wife or husband on December 31, the exemption is only $1,000. Persons who reached majority dur- ing the year and whose earnings for that period amounted to $1,000 or more, or $2,000 or more, according to their martial status, must file a re. turn and pay a tax on their net in- come in excess of those amounts. ‘To avoid ‘penalty, the return must be in the hands of the Collector of Internal Revenue for the district in which the taxpayer lives, or has his principal place of business, on or be- tore midnight of March 15, 1021. MARJORIE underlay of contrasting color and fabric is the big trimmings feature. For instance, a pair of bronze kid Colonial pumps kave an inche-wide, band of oval perforations about the entire shoe. White kit is used as the underlay and white, velvet boks flank the straps upon the tongue. The revere effect is another new note in footwear. This style is shown in blue kid pumps, piped in witite kid, with white straps that disappear under the turn-back re- veres. Gray suede perforated with a wide range of patterns and underlaid with black patent leather is a style much in the foreground, and black patent leather, trimmed with gay scarlet pipings of velvet, satin or kid, is another reigning novelty. Gay coloring and elaboration is given by patterned stitching that runs over strap, tongue, toe and: shoe top. Such a unique model is shown in black patent leather with an intricate design “in scarlet end white stitching. A wide tongue fringed at both top and bottom com- pletes the bizarreness of the model. One-sided effects given by mis placed straps or slashing are also very nobby. Floral patterns out- lined in narrow leathers of gay color are a new season's hobby aiso. Evening pumps adhere to satin and cioch of gold or silver, although a corabination 6f satin and metallic cloth is very popular. Very narrow strips of the contrasting material alternate. A huge composition or velvet flower takes the place pf the old-time rhinestone buckle. ‘The vamp of the new shoes is me- dium. The toe is somewhat round- ed and either the military or Louis heel is used. There seems to be a compromise between the American and French cut.
