AN IDEAL SELECTION ‘ Governor Carey has honored himself, the city of Casper and the State of Wyoming by the ap- pointment of Samuel W. Conwell as a member of the State Highway Commission. Wherever Mr. Conwell is known, the appointment will be ap- proved, for it byings to the commission a man of yersatjle attainments,, splendid judgment and wide experience. Mr. Conwell is a real man of usefulness and yalue to the community. He came to Casper in the early days, about 1895, and few have done more to build the city and maintain it along lines of good order and general decency than he. He is regular, dependable, wise, and has the courage of his convictions. Devoted to the public good and without hesitation where its interest is con- cerned. No road would be too long, no storm too Severe to deter him. Of just plain, every-day qualities which wear and are the same for three hundred and sixty-five days in the year. Of his success in private business enterprise, little need be said. Everybody knows him and the record he has made from the day he became the cashier at the Richards & Cunningham Bank, afterwards the Casper National; on through the years, as an imPortant factor in the Nicolaysen Lumber Company, his services as county commis- sioner, and in the countless other positions of trust; but the real index to the character of Sam- uel Conwell is in the fact that the people have sought his services for twenty-two years to guide the fortunes of the public schools of the city. There are our schools. They stand at the head in the state. They compare, with credit, with all the others everywhere in the land. In their excellence may be traced the influenc of Samuel Conwell. The office to which he has been appointed is not the most important in the world. It does not call for the best administrative ability there is in Mr. Conwell, but that is exactly what it will re- ceive. The trust will be faithfully executed and the people may rest content and congratulate their governor for his wisdom in selection. ——————_0 RECEIVING WHAT WE DESERVE While the last vestige of the Wilson power upon the government of the United States will shortly vanish, it will be some time before the unfortunate effects of his administration can be remoyed. A tremendous work is presented in domestic affairs but we shall quickly yemove the causes and re- covery will be rapid. The American people ac- complish wonders—started in the right direction. Within a year or two we shall be able to begin to throw off the burdens, the while trying to forget that Wilson ever existed. It is in foreign relations that will require time to place ‘lves aright and be understood. Some Euro. a power will be awakened some morning by rude jolt which will be notice that the “supreme sacrifice” policy is no more and it is a matter of business in the future. What an abysmal mess Wilson did get us in clowning up and down Europe, dreaming that he represented “ American people? “Suprem fice?” Me eye! No wonder .ne nations of Europe big and little are eager to accept our sacrifices. When they find our president in the mood to give things away. Of course they would take things eagerly. And when we cease to offer, they have the nerve to ask or take without the asking.. That is about what it has lately come to. That's why Great Britain established a censorship of American cablegrams. The censor not only reads the messages of Ameri- can exporters but he communicates the informa- tion to British concerns in the same line of busi- ness. Fine. Need not get peeved about it. It is due to the style of foreign policy Mr. Wilson has insisted on conducting ever since he has been office. It is what you call “strict accountability’ stuff. Possibly you remember the brand, admin- istered to Carranza and to His Imperial Majesty of former days. When subordinate officials of the State Depart- ment were smoked out and also smoked up to the admission that more than three thousand com- plaints had been lodged with reference to the out rages perpetrated by Great Britain, a great éf- fort was made to smother the information upon the ground that if the American people knew the facts it would only add to the resentment against the British government, which was already suf- ficiently strong. This reasoning was sound enough, but the un- derlying fear of the State Department was not so much for the growth of resentment against the British as it was of the resentment of the Amer- ican people against the Wilson administration. That was what was gnawing upon the-State De- partment. In the circumstances you can’t exactly blame Britain, for taking advantage of such a weak and pusillanimous administration as the Wilson regime has been. While the United States would not act in the same manner if conditions were reversed, yet it is perfectly understandable, the ease with which an ambitious government would drop into practices which are scarcely defensible on ethical grounds, however smart they may be considered commercially.. When some “‘easy mark” goes about seeking an opportunity to purchase a gold brick, we can- not feel very great resentment against the man who makes the sale. When Mr. Wilson pro- claimed, ,after the sinking of the Lusitania that the United States was too proud to fight, later de- manded a peace without victory, and finally pledged the United States to make the “supreme sacrifice,” who can find it in his heart to blame Great Britain for taking everything within reach and then asking the United States to cancel a few billions of dollars of credits? If the United States, under the leadership of upstanding men, had displayed the spirit befittmg a nation entitled to maintain an “‘equal station” among the nations of the earth, we would now en- joy the respect of Great Britain instead of being the, subject of very evident contempt.. There is no{need to nag Great Britain nor quibble over tritgs. There is sufficient reason for perfect un- defstanding. But friendship must be between equals and based on mutual respect. Great Brit- ain will yield fair treatment when our interna- tional policies command respect, and we need not expect it otherwise. ee NOT THAT TYPE Those who look for or predict any such auto- cratic or dictatorial attitude in governmental and party affairs as the country has witnessed under Mr. Wilson, when Mr. Harding assumes his presi- dential duties a week from today, are not doing Mr. Harding justice and moreover are not found- ing their prophecies upon anything to be found in the Harding character or utterances. Mr. Harding said in his address of acceptance of the nomination: “Let me be understood clearly from the very beginning. I believe in party sponsorship in gov- ernment. I believe in party government as dis- tinguished from personal government, individual, dictatorial, autocratic or what not. . . No man is big enough to run this great republic. There never has been one. Such domination was never intended, Tranquility, stability, dependability— all are assured in party sponsorship, and we mean to renew the assurances which were rended in the cataclysmal war.” The Republican national committee is composed of 53 members, chosen by the forty-eight states and five districts or dependencies. When a change takes place in the chairmanship of the committee, the members will go through the form of electing. If that be a form only, with the real selection made by an individual, then there would be established in the party organization a personal government, “individual, dictatorial, autocratic.” To assume or assert that Mr. Harding» would undertake to designate a man to be chairman is not only to question the sincerity of his campaign utterances but to reflect upon the ability of the members of the committee. . In the management of party affairs the national committee has its duties, with corresponding re- sponsibilities, just as the senate and house have their duties and responsibilities in the management of government business. The same fundamental orinciples that apply to one apply equally to the other. In his farewell address to the senate on the opening day of the present session Mr. Harding said: “When my responsibilities begin in the executive capacity I shall be as mindful of the senate’s responsibilities as 1 have been jealous for them as a member, but I mean at the same time to be just as insistent upon the responsibilities of the executive.” Mr. Harding's entire course has been consistent with his declaration in support of “‘restoration of representative popular government.’ As no man is big enough to run this republic, so no man is big enough to run the Republican party. There is nothing in his utterances or his acts to justify the assumption that he will attempt to do either.

This week a number of teams’ have been engaged hauling the ore to a car on the siding near the new alfalfa mill and the first shipment will’ be made the latter part of the week. The ore is of good quality and we are glad to know that the Iabor of these three men is to be rewarded. It has been known for a long time that Wheat- land has immense riches.in the hills nearby and all that is needed is the courage and persistance to tackle the task of unearthing it, as exhibited by these men. ‘The same courage and persistance will make Wheatland one of the greatest oil producing sections in all of Wyoming. 5 LIVE WIRE UNDERTAKER (Glendo Star) Mr. Longwith the undertaker from Wheatland was up from the county seat and embalmed Mrs. Hoadley and while he did not get there until Mon- dgy he made the body look natural as lite and in his usual good nature and courtesy with very reasonable prices won many friends to his already good- ly number. A GOOD RECORD (Pine Bluffs Post)) Alonzo Shrake, living southeast of town, recently marketed nine head of hogs that were just sven months and four days old the day they were sold, and they «veraged just. 300 pounds each. They were from pure bred Poland Chira stock and, inas- much as Mr, Shrake raised the pigs and also raised all the feed they consumed, he was netted a handsome profit. More good hogs in this coun- try, in addition to cows and chickens, WITH OUR WYOMING EXCHANGES Dailp Tribune will put money in the bank for every man who follows that system of agri- culture. STATE. FAIR FARES WELL (Douglas Budget) : ‘The Wyoming State Fair fared pret- ty ‘well at the hands of the legislators, getting a decided boost upon he amount appropriated two years ag> for the conduct of the Fair. The amount appropriated in 1919 was but $35,000, a sum wholly inadequate to finance the Fair and keep it up to the standard of similar institutions. This year the purse strings were loosened somewhat and the Board will have $55,000 to spend during the com- ing two years. In addition the gate receipts will go to the Board to be utilized in paying the expenses of the fair. A deficit of $12,500, incurred during 1920, was taken care of. by the legislature. This leaves the board out of debt and with $27,500 a yeac to run the fair. With this sum there is little doubt but that a splendid pro- gram can be put on for the entertain- ment of the patrons. The Fair is still' under the nominal menagement of the fiate Board of Charities and Reform, which ‘ereto- fore has paid no attention to it and whic! will probably continue to place the entire management in the han of the Board of State Fatr Manskebe “RED” COMES TO TOWN (Gody Enterprise) “Silent Red™ Slough, who has been employed at the Antlers ranch brought his saddle and bed over to Gedy last Wednesday for a short vis- it. “Silent Red” recetyed his name in the navy where, during his twenty- five months of service, he became familiar with all the important ports of the world. But, taking it ali in all, Red says he cannot see where Hong Kong or Tokio, London, Paris or Shanghai has anything on Pryor or the Crow reservation, to which place he aims to return as soon as he has finished visiting. = WITH THE CASPER BOY SCOUTS A Department Devoted to the Interest of Local Troops and Their Activity in All Lines of Endeavor Here Basketball. The Scout championship basketball game was played off last Thursday night at the high school gym: when the team representing Troop 1 defeated the Troop 4 team by a score of 38 to 27. Troop 4 had previously defeated the teams that represented Troops 2 and-3 and had contributed several play- ers to the all-star team which put on an exhibition game with the Troop 1 team at the rally during Scout week. The game Thursday evening was a hard-fought battle, the lighter play- ers of Troop 4 putting up a game scrap against their heavier opponents. Superior teamwork and longer experi- ence won the game for the ‘Troop"1 players. Court of Honor Session. A regular sitting of the Court of Honor took. place last Sunday after- noon at the Chamber of Commerce when the court awarded a merit badge in firemanship to Senior Patrol Leader Harry Young of Troop 2, and gave merit badge examinations in fireman- ship and first aid to animals. Troop 7 Headquarters Changed. The headquarters of Troop 7 have been changed from the North Casper school to the Burlington chapel. The first meeting in the new headquarters will take place next Monday evening. The troop has the opportunity to use the Burlington chapel as a meet- ing place through the courtesy of the Presbyterian executive committee and the school board. In the new quarters it will be possible to move the seats back against the walls and have an open place for wrestiting matches and boxing contests such as are impossi- ble in a school room with permanent desks. New Headquarters For Troop 6. The officials of Troop 6, of the Bap- tist church, have arranged to use the old church building in the rear of the new church for a meeting place of the troop. Meetings have formerly been held in the basement of the parsonage, and the troop will appreciate the use of more commodious quarters. Scout's Bicycle Lost. A bicycle beionging to Scout Flavio Valdez of Troop 4 has been lost or! stolen. The bicycle is a red enameled Napoleon wheel, equipped with Vital- lic tires. Finder should notify Scout- master Frank Taylor at the Daily Tribune. Phone 15. ! First Aid Lectures. Dr. J. F.
