Everybody is present. It is more or less of a tavk for pedestrians to get along the sidewalks of the main streets, while the streets themselves are a tangle of auto- mobiles. It is a bargain to secure a seat‘in a pic- ture palace and the main entrances-are blocked and depend upon experience we will take no stock in signs, appearances or groundhog predictions, we will simply take what comes, for i weather at this time of year is full of deception and as capricious as Dame Fortune or Lady Luck. is the work of demagogues. It is never their pur- pose to fight real men and real issues, they want an easier job where victory is certain.and they can then turn to the world for-its applause. This sort of thing is characteristic of the proponents of the league of nations, advocates of debt cancella- tion and a lot of other things that ring of anti- Americanism. debt to this government and its people, if it can- Wyoming Trust in the smiles of a premature spring if you like, but take it from an old timer—you are trifl- ing with a vampire, who is luring you to a ‘most humiliating throwdown. STRAW MEN AS ISSUES Setting up a straw man and knocking him down Here we find one of the prominent newspapers of the country asserting: “It is plain that Europe cannot pay its huge not trade with us. . . It is equally plain o1 should be, that the United States cannot perma~- nently refuse association with Europe in the set- lement of problems which are mutual.” The straw man in this assertion—the false as- sumption—is that the United States even proposed’ either to refuse to buy European goods or to con- fer with European nations in the settlement of “mutual” problems. The United States has never taken the attitude indicated in either instance, so the assertion quoted is not germane to any current discussion of real public questions. The United States does not propose to erect an absolute barrier to the importation of foreign goods. It does not propose prohibitory tariffs. All it proposes is an import duty which shall rep- resent the difference in cost of production here and in other countries, so that the American pro- ducer shall not be destroyed by the cheap labor and low standards of living of Europe and Asia. This has been stated so many times that no man need be in doubt as to the American attitude of the Republican party. We are willing Europe ~<\almost every line as the season advances. shall pay her debts partly in goods and services, but not in a free market which would be ruinous to the American producer. Neither has the United States ever proposed to refuse all association with other nations in the settlement of mutual problems from the founda- tion of the government. We have appointed rep- resentatives of this government to all the «other civilized nations of the earth for the very purpose of settling mutual problems. We were pioneers in the arbitration movement and were participants in The Hague conferences. We shall continue to con- fer with other nations for the promotion of peace, justice and general welfare. The, purpose of such statements as that quoted above is perfectly clear—to create the impression that the United States must choose between free trade and cessation of foreign purchases, between isolation and the league of nations, No such choice need be made. We can have a protective with long lines overflowing the sidewalks awaiting their turn at the earlier performances. Stores and shops are crowded with Saturday evening shoppers, not only for supplies to last the family over Sunday, but for other substantial pur- chasers. The holidays at the close of the year presented no busier scene than the average Satur- day evening of the present time. If times are pinching elsewhere there is no in- dications of any similar situation here. The evi- dence all points to prosperity of the solider sort, with nothing of the spending frenzy that held the people in its grip awhile back. The further promise is for a larger av oka o i Jan’ development, building operations, public im- provements and many other engagements requir- ing enterprise and industry. The pulse of real estate has quickened and the prospect was never better for a good year. Home builders are taking advantage of the numerous profitable offerings made by the dealers in both close-in vacant lots and in the remoter outlying additions. There is bound to be an influx of new people this spring and it will be limited only by Casper’s ability to house them. There are even now scout- ing parties here to look up homes and places of business. . The hotel lobbies and other public places afford evidence of another feature. Casper is growing in favor as a trading center for contiguous terri- tory and also as a desirable place for week-end or over-Sunday entertainment. While many centers are reporting a decrease of unemployment and gradual improvement in stag- nated conditions, and the belief that the up grade has been reached with them, let us hope that Casper has escaped entirely the unfortunate experience other places have suffered and will go ahead with her usual stride. ek a eee ELIMINATE FRILLS TO GO TO WORK The main topic at the center of things is the inauguration of President-elect Harding on Friday. In spite of the simplicity of the ceremony Wash- ington will be crowded with people to witness the }transfer of the government to the new rulers ‘chosen by the people in November. The time honored customs and ceremonies will be followed but the pomp and display will be Jacking and the lavish public and private expendi- ture cut from the program in deference,to the wishes of the new president and vice-president and as being out of harmony with the general de- plorable situation of the people of friendly nations 1s the result of war, as well as in poor taste when he burdens borne by our own people are consid- red. It is well that the new administration avoid the frills and devote itself at the earliest possible mo- ment to the task of the long neglected domestic affairs of the people. And this seems to be the design as well as the desire of Mr. Harding and those who will labor with him in the effort. Saat NS Ser aes oh EARLY INDICATIONS The harbinger of spring is here, the moreadyen- turous members of the robin family. So also are the advance agents of the blue bird troup. In the sheltered nooks upon the south side the grass is be- ginning to show green. It could not be otherwise with the long stretch of mild weather and the per- fect spring days, such as yesterday. If we believe in signs and appearances spring has arrived. If we rely upon friend groundhog we know something tariff that is not a prohibitive tariff—we can nego- tiate with other nations without making what Mr. Wilson terms “the supreme sacrifice’ to a league dominated by Great Britain or any other nation. Setting up and destroying false issues may de- ceive a few people, but, judging by the outcome of the last election, it will not deceive ‘many.

TRADES ee ey aa THE MANAGER GOVERNMENT Now that the commission manager bill has run the legislative gauntlet and is tc become law upon ‘receiving the governor's signature, the next thing in order is its adoption by the people whose rep- resentatives presented it. While it was not altered greatly in its journey through the mill, the peo- ple will be familiar with its provisions which have heretofore been published in full; but just as soon as the measure is available it will be republished with such amendments as were made. In addi- tion all other information relative to the manager government will be laid fully and completely be- fore the public. ESSER ASE STi .
