We are certain the legislature made other mistakes besides that one. A good clean fight was made but the opposition was too strong. Let her go at that. No use to pout or make faces about it, because that don’t get any- thing. A couple of years is not a long time to wait until another session, and it affords time to perfect an organization that will bring home the bacon. And it may be, that meanwhile the old folks at home will recognize the fact that you are bound to have an establishment of your own and their old flinty hearts will soften and their cevoteri heads will bow to the inevitable. People have a whole lot of respect for a cheer- ful loser; but a peevish spirit is an abomination in a county division controversy. Cheer up! We've had an open winter and the promise is for an early spring. File away the courthouse ‘plans. They'll keep. And’let’s pre- pare to get the crops in. Sai Sed aA THANKS, WE'LL MANAGE OURSELVES Sir Philip Gibbs, a noted British war correspond- ent, recently came to America to instruct us in reference to our duty to the world and more espe- cially to point out our great omission in riot enter- ing the league of nations and furnishing the means and brains to rehabilitate Europe under the kindly advice and direction of his native land. Sir Philip was introduced as a man of daunt- less courage who had braved death on the battle- field many times in order that he might tell his fellow countrymen how the war was really going. The reputation for fearless audacity he gained in the war is borne out by his visit to the United States on a mission to urge this country to enter the league of nations. Either he'has misread the verdict of the voters at the last election, or he is exemplifying the British determination to “carry on” in the face of hopeless odds. Undertaking to define “what America means to the world,” he devoted a large portion of his ad- dress to a description of the distressing conditions in the countries of Europe as he found them. He painted a most dolorous word picture of the social and economic situation in France, Italy, Austria, Germany, and, lastly, England. According to Sir Philip, the future outlook for Europe is dismal in the extreme. The specter of anarchy menaces the whole continent, encouraged by the drastic repara- tions program imposed upon Germany by the allies. If those reparations are insisted upon the speaker sees a possible alliance between the Germans and the Russian Bolshevists, followed by a march of the Red terror westward until it engulfs all nations, and brings about a reversion of civilization to prim- itive barbarism. In spite of the terrible facts he depicted, Sir Philip declares he is an optimist.’ Through the gloom of Europe’s despair he sees a ray of hope. “Geneva is the lifeboat on the raging sea.” In the league of nations he sees the cure of Europe's disease. In the functioning of the league he is assured that a favorable solution will be found to the question, “Is Europe going to live or is Europe going to die?” Sir Philip related his imp of the league assembly in action, and re a voice of pathos to “the empty chair at Geneva.” “The league is marking time,” he admitted to his American audience, “because you are not there, and you are the richest and most powerful natio in the world.” ‘ “You may be builders or destroyers,”’ continues our British visitor, the inference being that Ameri- wealth and power and rebuild, under the direction of the league Europe’s waning strength. No hint from the speaker that possibly America’s influence for good could be made as potent under Ameri- can direction as under the control of Great Britain through the league. And therein lies the inherent characteristic of the true Britisher—nothing is worth while unless it is British or dominated by the British. Precisely that-sentiment was in evi- dence when Pershing and his legions arrived in France. Qur men were-all right, but they would be most useful as replacements in British divisions, officered by British officers.. It is to the everlasting credit of General Persh- ing that he firmly insisted on an American army under American direction. Likewise, American wealth and power are forces that may contribute to the welfare of Europe, but, from the viewpoint of Sir Philip Gibbs and his fellow Englishmen, they must be distributed and applied by England acting through the league of nations, rather than under the direction of their American possessors,. They would place our wealth at the disposal of the very nations who are responsible for the plight in which Europe Ands herself today. It is against such’a perversion of their resources that the American people are solidly arrayed. ERE HES DEVAS ERTS MEET SENATOR STANSBURY The Wyoming legislature is honored by having in its membership Senator John Stansbury of Con- verse county. Would that there were more like him. Our imperial commonwealth would be the gainer and our statutes less cumbered with lan- guage and bunk. Senator Stansbury is unique. He is also wise. His county should take pride in him and return him to the senate as long as he will accept the honor. This is the second session in which Senator Stansbury has served since his election, and in each of them he has rendered splendid service to his constituents and to the people of Wyoming. He has never introduced a bill, a resolution or a memorial. He has been present at each daily ses- sion and has never cluttered uy: the proceedings with a lot of cheap and meaningless talk. He believes that there are already upon the books more useless laws than there is any need for and more laws of all kinds than will ever be. enforced. If for the next ten years all counties of the state would send members of the type of Senator Stans- |bury to the ‘biennial sessions the people of the state would be better governed, happier and have more time to devoteito the important business of securing bull beef and Bull Durham for sus- tenance instead of just bull for their tax money. PATE ARS Ma eh Oe THE COMMUNITY’S SECURITY *The other day a holdup artist entered the peace- ful home of a citizen, shoved a wicked revolver into his face and. demanded money. The citizen happened not to have any ready money about his person, so the holdup man indicated that a check would answer his purpose in lieu of cash—but to be quick about it. The citizen felt that he had no option and but slight chance against an armed and desperate character who had him at his mercy. The citizen complied and the desperado departed. It so happened, however, that a neighbor notified the city police, who arrived in time to take the offender into custody at the front gate and land him in the city lockup. Later a charge of carry- ing concealed weapons was lodged and the prison- er fined $50, and upon payment was released. The police officers are to be commended for sromptness in arriving at the scene in time to get he highwayman almost in the act of committing his crime, but why was a man who had committed the crime of extortion and had entered a man’s castle to perpetrate his illegal act by force and threats excused upon the lesser offense of carry- ing concealed weapons? The city police had all the evidence including the check that had been forced unwillingly. from the citizen. A person who committed the crime this man had was surely to be regarded as a des- perate and dangerous criminal, unsafe to be at large, a menace to the security of the community and who merited the severest punishment the law in such cases permitted. A simple charge of carrying concealed weapons when the greater crime of highway robbery and extortion had been committed is a travesty upon justice. If there is no co-operation between city police and county sheriffs, there should be, and a prisoner of this character should never be allowed a moment's freedom until he had answered fully for the ‘crimes he had committed. If the greater crime came more properly within the sheriff's jurisdiction that officer should have received the prisoner to be dealt with under the statutes and before the district court. Crime will never be suppressed if there is the slightest compromise with it. A criminal is a coward, and fears the law. If fear is not instilled in him by punishment he is 5 | emboldened and snaps his fingers at the law. If the sheriff has nat already taken this particu- lar offender into custody, he is neglecting his duty by nut doing so at once, Casper is entitled to take all the pride she pleases in her city school teaching force. It is not ca may hold aloof from the league and watch the destruction of civilization or may throw in its oY every day nor in every town that a more whole- some group of young American women can be mustered than appeared at the forum lunch at the Henning last night. ern Te WITH THE CASPER BOY SCOUTS A Department Devoted to the Interest of Local Troops and | Their Activity in All Lines of Endeavor Here National Council |for several days before it became Reprenentati known thatigongratulations were in order. i Scoutmaster Wilson is employed at the Midwest refinery.
