Surely he came upon Gethsemane! And was there not one single piercing thorn From that dark wreath of anguish, for his brow? Within that grail of bitterness, we know Was held one drop that he alone must drain— And from the crowd the stinging jibe again, With lurking thrust that sped him to his fate; Friend of the friendless, meek, compassionate— Ours be the tragic loss, the haunting thought, “He dwelt amongst us—and we knew him not!” —Laura Simmons, ————o—_—————. IMPERISHABLE SPEECH “Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the prop- osition that all men are created equal. “Now we are engaged in a great-civil war, test- ing whether that nation, or any mation so con- ceiyed and‘so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those whovhere gave their lives that that naton might live. It s altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. “But in a larger sense, we can not dedicate— we can not consecrate—we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinshed work which they who fought here thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth.” eg ee 2 GUMMING THE GAME ’ Some sweet day, it may come to pass that we shall have a president of the Wyoming senate and a speaker of the Wyoming house of the same pattern. And that shall be of men who have a high con- ception of the rights of the tax-paying public, a correct notion of the transaction of the public business and a proper idea of the duties of public officials and the trust that is reposed in them On that great day there will be a cleaning of the lobbies. Those present representing personal and private interests of a selfish nature, seeking by in- sidious methods to influence the servants of the people will be cast from the temple. Officers of state, heads of commissions, bureaus and aux- iliaries, will be ordered back to their duties, presi- dents of universities and officers of public institu- tions will be sharply informed that their diities are elsewhere, and then the respective legislative branches will pursue the business that has called them together unhampered and uninterrupted. It is sometimes wondered what manner of men are sent to congress and legislatures, that they must be followed to the capitals by so large a percentage of the home population to advise and direct these chosen members? ; CREVSLie hit nh ss Sa THE BUSY PRUNING KNIFE Are they just fooling or does it really mean business, this lopping off ‘of a half millilon dollars’ worth of the state budget by the committee in charge? If it sticks the move will be readily approved by the people, of that there is no’doubt. There are several other items overlooked by the committee which are not worth the price listed in half million good and strong ————_o—______. BLINDNESS OF DEMOCRACY Recent figures of the department of commerce show-a 200 per cent increase in import figures in point of value, comparing 1913, the year preced- ing the war, with 1920, two years after the sign- Nine months of 1913 were ing of the armistice. under the policy of protection. The change recorded. in import trade over a period of seven years.is shown by the accompany- In 1913, 48 per cent of our import trade came from Europe, but notwithstanding the large in- crease of imports from this division, Europe now ranks third in sales to us. This is due mainly to the fact that Europe has, not yet achieved capacity output in her industries, and Germany has been struggling to break through the tangles of war; and it is also attributable to the development of production in China and Japan, where the mini- mum wage scale of the world is in effect. Ninety per cent of the North American imports came from Canada, Cuba and Mexico—61 2,721 and 180 millions of dollars’ worth, respectively, It is interesting to note that we imported $89,- 000,000 worth of goods from Germany during 1920, compared with $11,000,000 worth the previcus year, indicating the commercial come- Our normal imports from Germany, before the war were back which that country is staging. about $160,000,000- The purchasing power ‘of the American ‘dollar in foreign countries, particularly those of Europe, is far greater than in: preswar days,. so ‘that the yolume of goods imported is considerably greater, still restricted somewhat by the universal increase 1920 trade shows a loss of $308,000,000 in exports, and a gain of $1,375,000,000 in imports, or a decline in our trade balance of $1,683,000,000, the two years considered; “Exports of crude materials in- creased $260,000,000, while imports of manu- factured goods intreased $557,000,000. Exports of manfactured goods increased about $641 ,000,- 000, and a billion-dollar business in iron and steel products sales would indicate that our’ foreign competitors haye been busy patching up their old mills and building new ones with which to fabri- cate our crude products for return to us under the beneficient policy of free trade or nearly so. Exports of foodstuffs decreased $606,000,000, while imports increased $815,000,000, a loss to this country through decreased foreign salés and displacement in the home market of $1,421,000- 000 as the farmers’ share of Democratic free trade and the recovery of foreign agriculture.
