Frank -W. Mondell of Wyoming to again be the floor leader of the Republican majority. He has been a real leader in the session just expiring and his work has had the approval of the country. The taxpay- ers have him to thank for saving them from addi- tional burdens and the members acknowledge that legislative business has been despatched with unusual] , celerity. Notwithstanding the several unfortunate accidents befalling Mr. Mondell he has continued on the job with scarcely the loss of a day and his work is evi- cenced in the closing session, as it did in the pre- vious one, in the great savings effected in the cost of government. With the executive departments working in har- mony with the legislative branch larger and more di- rect results are to be expected. $$$ RIPE IN YEARS AND HONORS. The country has sustained a real loss ‘n the death of Champ Clark of Missouri. The best beloved of all Democratic statesmen. In-all the years that he has served his country no man upon either side in con- gress has enjoyed greater esteem. His attitude was truly national in scope. While he served his district and his state with great fidelity he served his coun- try with his whole heart and soul. He was a Demo- erat of the old school. Able, fearless and honest. He | they would patently’ have betn agents wf the mer- chant and the manufacturer in attempting to divert the mind of the public from conditions and in the building of false impressions as to prices and costs. “In doing this the newspaper would have lost its effectiveness as a medium, for after all the thing we purchase from a newspaper is reader confidence, in the paper and in the news, both topical and mercan- tile which the paper carries, “Such articles as the one refefred ta have a tend- ency to narrow the viewpoint of the merchants and nanufacturers who read them and to blind them to the fundamental fact that for them, newspaper effi- ciency lies in the free and untrammeled functioning of the editorial department. “T have talked to a great many business and ad- vertising managers of newspapers and I know that they as business men, deplore some of the things newspapers have said and done in the past year. “But when a medium is dominated by a class or an interest, as a great many of ‘our médiums are, espe- cially in the class field, it loses effectiveness with the reader because the reader knows that such a me- dium cannot but publish the. news from the stand- point of the intefest which controls: it. “Just at this time when the merchants of the coun- Question Box (Any reader can get the ‘answer to any question by writing ‘The Casper Daily Tribune Information Bureau) Frederic J, Haskin, Director, Wash- ington, D.

The report of the treasurer of the United States says that the, ex- penses of the senate in 1919 totaled $2,112,571.78, while the entire cost of the House of Representatives for that year was $5,303,054.67 try need every possible medium for increasing the volume of their) business, in order to overcome the losses of the deflation period just passed, the writer does not believe that the best interests of the mer- chant lies in bucking his best, medium for transfer- ring the potential ‘energy of advertising into power. “The newspapers face a hard enough year as it is. With the cost of’ white paper rising and the ‘cost of labor and maintenance already greater than last year, the newspaper, if it is to produce for the merchant as it should produce, must be encouraged rather than dis- couraged. “While the newspaper is an integral part of the retail merchant’s business, and should be an integral part of the manufacturer’s business, neither the mer- chant nor the manufacturer has ever taken the trou- ble to look’ into the newspaper situation. Opinions as to the cost of newspaper space are based entirely on the merchant’s own views of the matter, and, since the merchant faces a falling market he cannot ‘see’ a rising market for any commodity he purchases.” In conclusion Mr. Baker states, that articles in- sinuating that the newspaper departments co-operate in the handling of news matter dealing with price cuts and editorial opinion on economical questions to the advantage of the business office is unjust to the news- paper and misleading to the merchant and arouses in the merchant a spirit of resentment which has no right to exist. The newspapers in handling matters of price cuts and all questions of readjustment have had no wrong motive but gave to the public those matters of gen- eral public interest to which it was entitled regardless of benefit or detriment to the newspaper and certain- ly with no thought of injuring the merchant who is the newspaper’s friend and has had enough grief to ear. ee Se THE DAWNING OF TOMORROW. The nation will have ample cause for rejoicing to- morrow and we doubt not its sincerity, when Mr. Harding relieves Mr. Wilson of the powers of govern- ment in the exercise of which he has ignominously failed to meet the ideals of the people. ; Why he failed is easily explained. He exaggerated his own importance. He set up a government that made himself supreme and surrounded himself with underlings Who cheerfully acknowledged such supe- riority and played upon his vanity. Such a govern- ment was bound to fail because of the magnitude of and to have died at a great age. He Cunedda and his mother was Non, a Cymrid saint. ing called by his nate, and a shrine Q. Will there be a naval training school for boys during vacation this year?—M. ©. C. A. The navy department says that at the present time they have not made any definite plans for estab- lishing a naval school this summer for boys 16 years of age. Q. Who wes Saint David, Where and when did he live and die?—D, 0. A. The exact date of the birth and death of St. David, the Patron Saint of Wales, are not known, but he is said to have lived about 500 A.

A, Steamship authorities say that the Japanese word “Maru,” which is used in connection with the names of Japanese vessels, means steamship or vessel, depending upon the way in which it is used. Q. Where is the largest railway station in the United States?. Ss. A. The Bureau of Railway co- nomics says thet the largest rallway terminal is the New York. Central, which has 62 tracks or @ total train capacity of 46. The largest building is the Pennsylvania station, New York City. Q. What was the Anatomy of Abuses?—G. S. E. A.

He was to a de- gree partisan, but his partisanship never warped his judgment. He was too great a man to be the choice of his’ party’s managers for president, although upon one occasion he was his party's choice and only by trickery and treachery was his ambition frustrated. Coming to congress in the prime of a vigorous m: hood he served with all the distinguished men of his time. They were his friends. He has sat under the speakership of a long line of eminent Republican leaders and in turn has himself held the gavel and ruled the house wherein many of them sat as mem- bers. The relationships established and the friend- ships that flourished were as devoted men striving in the same cause and not as partisans seeking advant- a ge. Champ Clark had grown old in his country’s serv- ice, he was over seventy. He was not as old as Jo- seph G. Cannon by some fourteen or fifteen years nor did he serve in congress as great a number of terms, but the two held a very similar position to their respective parties and were “devoted friends. It may be going too far to say that the Republican landslide last November which unexpectedly sup- planted Mr. Clark in his seat by a new member had some contributing influence in hastening the end. His failure was known to be a bitter disappointment and coupled with previous disappointments only added to his general discouragement. The nation will mourn his loss, his loyal home peo- ple will miss his homecomings, but his fellow mem- bers will feel the absence of his genial companionship and delightful personality keenest of all, and a sad- ness will be present in the historic halls that will not soon be dissipated. Champ Clark has been among us a long time. He has served faithfully and well. His reward should be commensurate. ahet ee KEEPING THE MATTER STRAIGHT. A recent article appeared in the Dry Goods Econ- omist, a mercantile trade publication, implying that there was a close working arrangement between the editorial and business offices of newspapers over the country. The matter appeared so vital to Mr. H. S. Baker, the advertising director of one of the country’s large mercantile concerns that he took occasion to not only put the publication that had spoken ill-ad- visedly but advertisers, merchants and the public right as to the functions of a self-respecting newspaper. Let Mr. Baker give his views in his own words: “The tenor of the Economists’ article appeared to me to be that the editorial policy of endeavoring to force price declines had been assumed by newspapers over the country for business office reasons. “The newspaper functions through two distinct de- partments, the editorial department and the business office. To be wholly efficient both of these depart- ments must of course function in harmony in so far as they actually touch each other, but the interfer- ence of either one with the working of the other would, and has, hundreds of times, resulted in disas- ter. “Primarily, a newspaper’s purpose is to disseminate news, and to voice and mould opinion, The advertis- ing is secondary and is effective only in so far as the news of the paper is uncolored by the policies of the business office. “I do snot believe any newspaper in the country, maliciously, through the business office, works to the detriment of the merchant or the manufacturer. The editorial policy of many newspapers conformed to and expressed public opinion. country exhibited an attitude of indifference to com- modity prices and to conditions they would not ‘have been truly reflecting the tiny 4 of the public mind and Had the newspapers of the That tiere will be harmony is not doubted. That there will be economy and reforms is certain. They have been promised, the situation imperatively demands them, and there will be no inclination to evade the pledges. It is fortunate that the change came in time to avoid the certain disaster toward which the country was rapidly drifting. We will permit history to deal with Mr. Wilson as it may*in the light of his accomplishments. He has been our president in troubulous times. There are none but wish him well, and hope for his ultimate recovery in health and for long years of future use- fulness. -0— GIVE AND TAKE FAIRNESS. The overshadowing discussion of recent weeks is concerned largely with phases of the railroad situa- tien. General opinion, aside from that directly con- cerned with either the brotherhoods or the transporta- tion companies is fairly reflected by the Seattle Post- Intelligencer which says: “In the general public and private demand for fair play in American business and industry there seems no good reason why the railroads of the country should be left out of account, These concerns are indispeneable adjuncts of our business and industrial life and are necessities to all the people. They have been, within recent months, returned from govern- ment operation to their owners, who are trying to get operation back again to a businesslike basis, and are having an. exceedingly busy season in that regard. Yet the Interntional Association of Machinists has re- cently set afloat some weird charges against the new managements of the roads, and is asserting that they are in collusion with private bankers, the Steel cor- poration and others, to disrupt union labor. No doubt thousands of men believe these charges and are em- | bittered thereby. “When we ask fair play for ourselves we should not withhold it from others. Viewing the’ railroad sit- vation in this light, ave note that the lines were turn- ed back to private owners deteriorated as to equip- ment and roadbed, with expenditures increased to un- reasonable figures, and with thousands of people on the pay rolls who were not needed. Under govern- ment operation the; management was subject to the demands of both politicians and unionists, none of whom were particularly concerned in anything but making jobs and paying the job holders all the traf- fic would bear, and eyen more. When the roads were returned to their owners, after losing, millions of dol- lars under federal management, rates were increased by government consent, and the owners were warned to practice economy and efficiency’ if they did not wish the lines to be taken over again by the govern- ment. _ “Under this stimulus political appointees were dropped from the pay rolls and the administration and working forces were reduced to actual needs. Every dollar of expenditure that can be dispensed with is being cut out, and efficient labor is procured and re- tained where possible. Hence, the discharge of help is not in the direction of a conspiracy against organ- ized labor, but is an endeavor to conduct the lines ef- ficiently on business principles and prevent their lapse into wasteful government operation again; “Those who desire to be fair, and that should in- clude about everybody, will not criticize the railroad managements, nor charge them with conspiracy against labor, when the facts bear out the statement that nothing of the kind is true Q. Has there always been a dis- tinction between Shoel and Gehenna? —O. McD. A. In the earlier versions of the Bible, distinctions were not made be- tween Shoel, and Hades, es for the \abodes ~ spirits and the words Gehan ‘Tartarus, which were hi 7 ae izing the places of punishment an torture. In the revised Eas toe the Bible these distinctions are indi- cated by the text. ack Q. When will the U. 8, 8. Califor: nia be put in commlssion?—W. L. A. The burea’: of construction and | repair of the navy department says that the U. 8. 8. California will prob- ably be commissioned during the month of July. f Q. What are the leading breeds of ponies? Which is the smallest?—T. E. C. A. The five principal breeds of ponfes are: The Shetland, Connemara, Galloway, Dartmoor and Canadian. The Shetlands are the smallest, orig- inating, “ds the name implies, in “the Shetland islands. . ———--— WOMEN INVALUABLE IN MODERN BUSINESS So Say Officials, of the Columbia Graphophone Co. ranged for special women’s rest rooms in the new quarters which {t will oc- cupy shortly in the Gotham National Bank Building on Broadway at Col- umbus Circle. This company has taken the eight upper floors of this new 24-story structure, and will move up town from the Woolworth building and bring to- gether in this new location not only all its business departments, includ- ing the comptroller's organization, which has hitherto, been located in one of the company’s factories at Bridgeport, Conn., but its recording laboratories as well. “This is a business of infinite de- tail,” said one of the officials, in tell- ing of this new million-dollar lease. “Infinite accuracy is necessary ‘in handling our thousands of records, and doing business with several thou- sand dealers. Not only in our fac- tories, but in our, business office as well, we have found that women are willing to exercise greater patience and care than the average man work- er.” Railroad Placed On “‘Open Shop” Basis by Owners HELENA, Ark., March, 3. — The Missouri & North Arkansas railroad, on which employes engaged in ope-a- tion of trains went on strike Satur- day morning, hereafter will be operat- ed on the “open shop” basis, accor- ing to a statement from the railroad’s headquarters at Harrison, Ark., tod The statement declared that 700 strikebreakers from Kansas City had been brought to Harrison during the ES EI PSN THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1921 = PACKERS’ PROPOSAL FOR SALE OF THE STOCKYARDS IS AGAIN - TURNED DOWN IN COURT RULING WASHINGTON, March 3.—The substitute proposal of.
