The question became pertinent when a manual training instructor chas- tised a thirteen-year-old boy and was arrested on complaint of a parent and charged with assault and battery. The testimony at the hearing showed that the instructor had struck the pupil sev- era! blows with his open hand, at or near or in the vicinity of the side of the head. In other words, the teacher had boxed the boy's ears. At last ac- count the case had not been concluded and deci- sion given. Time has brought change in methods of educa- tion as well as in curriculum. Of later years par- énts and guardians raise serious objection to the employment of other means of inducing correct deportment than the softly spoken word; and since, despite all of the other changes surrounding matters of education, there has been none to men- tion in the nature of the boy himself. The soft stuff does not always make a hit, and he proves just as wayward as his dad or her granddad. Many of the prominent citizens of this town will acknowledge to receiving not less than an average ef three sound thrashings on every school day. Did not consider themselves to be enjoying good health if a single one was omitted; and mind you they were regular thrashings, delivered upon the place designed by nature for. the purpose, with anything from a good stiff apple tree sprout to a short rawhide horsewhip in the good right hand of a muscular man teacher. The said place here- tofore referred to being covered only by a close- fitting pair of jeans trousers. The authentic history of a certain school back in the middle west country, in the day when, if a boy got a licking in school he was awarded an- other at home for deserving the first one, that re- veals in its record this state of facts. There were forty-seven boys members of this school. Grey jeans was the prevailing material of which boys’ clothes were made. Visitors to that school would note that every boy wore two large square black patches upon the seat of his trousers joined at the center seam and éxtending toward the side seams as far as was necessary. These badges were particularly noticeable when a boy was sent to the blackboard to solve a mathematical problem. Such of the visitors as inquired, learned that the black badge which gave this school dis- tinction was due to the efforts of the teacher to maintain discipline and. that in the process the supply of self material in the neighborhood had be- come exhausted, and loving mothers had resorted fo the cast-off sabbath raiment of the heads of families to keep the rear exposure of the boys out of the weather. There was no row kicked up with that teacher either for wear and tear of badges or for the chastisement that accompanied. The further record of that school is that out of those forty-seven boys, three became presi- dent of the United States, twenty-eight became members of congress, and the remainder were ministers of the gospel. There was neither a poker player nor a fiddler in the lot. And now we have fallen upon a day when resi- dents of the progressive metropolis of Sheridan are making mollycoddles of their bright and active boys, and causing the arrest of a school teacher for simply boxing the ears of a‘hopeful who doubt- less merited more vigorous treatment. O, tempora! 0, mores! CU ak IT REMAINS WITH US It is a great game if you don’t weaken—but the Wyoming legislature weakened; and therefore we will have the same old primary law with us for another season. It could not have been that the brethren view the present law with any degree of satisfaction or pleasure, for neither of these ele- ments are present in the law when the candidate or the voter faces it on primary election day.. The probable reason for the failure of the re- peal measure can likely be traced to the mistaken notion that certain rights would be removed from the people by such action. A pure fallacy, for if the present law secures to the voter any right of choice of candidates that cannot be manipulated against him, then tell us about it. However, if the people prefer to be jobbed by those who are skilled in matters of politics, they are welcome; only they need not expect the pri- mary law to be a political insurance policy against ithe evils they desire removed. Some day, unexpectedly, wisdom may wander into the statehouse in legislative season and so sure as it does the primary law will be thrown out the window. aE ae ciel aia LS THE ONLY REMEDY “Exponents of free trade contend that it was fogical for America to adopt protective measures in defense of infant industries,” observes the American Economist; but now that our: country has become the richest in the world, and our in- dustries have grown to manhood, we no longer have need for that protection. In other words, they would have our government encourage new industries, stand behind them in their infant days, and then when they have become full-grown, to turn traitor, refuse them further protection, and leave them exposed to the destructive competition of foreign industry which is carried on by cheap, ill-paid and underfed labor. “The objection to unrestricted importation of foreign competitive products is not only that it does not give our infant industries an opportunity to expand and become self-sustaining, but that it also undermines industries which have become fully established. : “Labor here is no cheaper in infant industries than it is in old-established ones. The evil lies in the difference in cost of labor here and in for- eign countries. “We boast of our efficiency and high standards of living here in America, compared to those in other countries, but we must remember that effi- ciency and high standards of living call for a cor- respondingly higher wage. i ‘Wages in America are higher than in any other nation in the world. So is our standard of living. Therefore, the cost of production and manufacture, ‘and the cost of living throughout.the rest of the world is lower than it is here. We cannot ¢on- sistently ask our domestic producers and manu- facturers to compete. with those of foreign coun- tries unless we are willing to reduce the wages of our workers to the level of that in foriegn coun- tries, It requires no deep thought for one to real- ize the baneful results of such an undertaking. “Another alternative is to educate foreign coun- tries to the principle of higher wages. We cannot have honest competition until there is an equili- brium established in the cost of labor here and abroad. To undertake raising the wage scale in foreign countries is out of the question. The only remedy left is to adopt measures here that ‘will produce the equivalent of an equilibrium in labor cost—that is the imposition of a duty on imported competitive articles sufficient to provide for the difference in the cost of production here and. that in foreign countries. That is the mission protec- tion seeks to perform, and it is the only feasible solution to the problem of relieving America of the dire consequences of the competition of cheap, underpaid and underfed labor of other countries of the world.” fot Racha teease WR NS EC, STILL MARCH AND FIGHT One of the outstanding characteristics of George Washington was modesty. It is just as strong a trait in the descendants of *oday as it was in the first president. 3 There are many descendants of Augustin Wash- ington, the father of George, through two other sons. There are none in public life. One, how- ever, is an admiral in the American navy. George and flocked to the flag of their country. The same modesty held good. They volunteered as privates. All of the younger men of the name were volunteers in the army. Out of one family went nine sons, two reached Russia, four fought in France and Italy, the remaining three served at home. They were ready to go but were not sent abroad, because of the armistice when they were ready to sail. Tt is good te know that the Washingtons are still carrying on. That the spirit of °76 lives in them and that when their country calls they mod- estly seek the humble places in, which to serve. 0 oh CPR WHEN IS A THIEF NOT A THIEF? Under the decision of a judge of the Georgia superior court it is not a crime to steal liquor. And a person who surreptitiously purloins liquor from another is not a thief and no prosecution for |theft can be maintained against him: Liquor has |no legal status and cannot be protected’ by law, jit is an outlaw, contraband and has no existence nor place. The only recourse a citizen has when another |takes his liquor is to catch him before he drinks it or otherwise disposed of it and prosecute him for violation of the prohibition law. Any reader can get the answer to any question by writing The Casper Daity Tribune Information Bureau, Fredric J. Haskin, Director, Washing- give advice on legal, medical, and {i- nancial matters.

Some farmers believed that wheat changed into chess as it grew, but it is needless to say that such a miracle never hap- pened. The two plants are not even closely related, but belong to quite dif- ferent tribes. in the grass family, and each comes true from its own seed."* otek sr boeass Setibhic: ot Metal screws: since 236 B.
