Are there enough live ones to hop in and make a baseball season and hoid up our end, with Denver, Sterling, Scottsbluff, Laramie and Greybull? If there are, the chance is wide open. It doesn't look very well, and it is rather a reflection on local sportsmanship, to permit the Midwest to put over the whole thing again this season, just like it has done in the past. It is about time to take a hand; and it is a whole lot more satisfactory to have a number of stockhold- ers whooping it up for baseball than it is to let George do it all. Of course the Midwest is dead game to go. but it isn’t right. There is something like ten or fifteen thousand dollars ts raise to insure a successful sea- son and a good team; and the lovers of the national sport must. show their interest by the amount writ- ten in the margin of a check. Other cities in the Rocky mountain country have already secured the necessary backing for their teams and the whole show is set, except Casper. The league apparently is waiting to learn about Casper. Surely we are not going to fall down. We cannot afford to fail. ————- ~0 Mr. Mellon of the treasury department impresses upon the country the necessity for economy. We are sound financially, but we must save. EBs Te BADLY SCRAMBLED. i A few weeks ago congress called upon former President Wilson to file an itemized statement of the $150,000,000 entrusted to him for war purposes, and for which he had rendered no accounting. Two; days before the expiration of his term of office a state- filed, showing a total disbursement of 70. The secretary of the treasury states accompanying the report that it will re- onths’ times to make up a detailed re- disbursements, such as congress desires, volunteering the statement that the disbursements represent advances for disbursing officers upon ac- countable warrants and the figures are not final and do not necessarily represent actual expenditures, Five million was allotted for the: civilian popula- tion of the Archangel district in Russia and four and a half million for operation and maintenance of the Trons-Siberian and China Eastern railways. The ship- ping board was given $27,000,000 for the purchase and repair of German and Austrian vessels. One item of inter is the allotment to Barney Baruch, techn ser to the peace mission, of $150,000 for expenses. When the items are finally cast up they will throw considerable light upon the expedition to Paris and reveal to the American taxpayers and Liberty bond purchasers, what sort of a splash we made on that famous sojourn. a letter eee THE GOSPEL OF HAPPINESS. “Sponge cake and doughnuts are the root of al) happiness,” is the gospel preached by Mary Wilson. onetime cook for Queen Victoria who is now a resi- dent of this country and a lecturer on domestic econ- omy and an instructor in the art of “love in the kitchen.” “The modern girl,”” Mrs. Wilson says, “has ‘a ter- rible time to land a man. She takes him to the mov- ies, and what does it avail her? If she would only take him out in the kitchen and feed him a great big slice of home-made bread with butter and sugar on it, her worries would be over and Mr. Man would be fastened with hooks of steel, “The tin can, the delicatessen and the bakery shop combined, are responsible for more unhappiness in the home and the growth of the divorce evil than all the other causes in the world. “The secret of successful courtship and subsequent married life is not more movies and more suffrage, but more old fashioned fruit cake. Don't you re- member how you loved to help mother crack the nuts and chop the raisins for the Christmas cake, And how you used haunt the kitchen on baking days wait- ing for opportunity to get the first chance at the mixing bowl and the stirring spoon. “A young wife should invite—no not invite escort is a better word—her husband to her kitchen several times a week to help her cook and bake and show him how the things he is so fond of are made. “The average young man takes an awful chance when he marries nowadays. The average mother is a tin can queen, and she won’t allow her daughter in the kitchen. So the poor girl goes to work in an of- fice at sixteen, and if she does land a young man she can't keep him on her delicatessen meals. We won't hear of any more silver weddings, or even tenth an- niversary celebrations. The way we’re headed now, at forty-five a woman will be proud to be celebrating her first wedding anniversary—celebrating it maybe for the tenth time. _—— © POWER OF SILENCE. “There is nothing in this world works to greater advantage,” in the opinion of the New York Mail than to be silent. No one likes to be ignored. “It hurts like # mischief to have an antagonist throw up The f barricade against which you have not power. moment the other fellow is silent, that minute all de- tailed plans of attack are worthless, The only thing one can do is to be nt also, and there you are! Though but an armistice, the action of conflict is over. “The one who refuses to converse may be one you have no use for. Still it bothera you. You arg an- noyed, your pride is injured at the realization that the one you hold in scorn has the opportunity to ig- nore you, The moment you resort to tantalizing ban- ter you acknowledge the final defeat. If you fall in line and imitate you compliment. The secret is to steal the thunder first. “If one you love keeps silent it hurts twice. Once because you have no idea how deeply you may have offended to bring down upon your head such punish- ment and again because the loved one could ignore you. Just think over the conquering points of this silent weapon.” eS A NE TRIPPING UP A GENIUS. “The young man who married fourteen girls in three years,” states the Baltimore American, “seems almost to have deserved better luck than a prison sen- tence. He was eyidently after Solomon's record and he seems to have been on a fair way to eclipsing it, eclipsing it. “To be sure, his moral code was exceedingly twist- ed, but a person who could get away with fourteen marriages all his own must have a good weal of pris- tine originality which will go to waste in prison. “The specialty of Hammond, which was his name, seems to have been desertion. He deserted first the army and then the navy, and then, one by one, his fourteen brides, The queerest thing about him was that it wasn’t the desertion of his brides which land- ed him in jail, but the desertion of the military. How he kept clear of the whole fourteen, however, will give most of the married men a puzzle to solve. “Evading more than a dozen ladies with success, only to fall prey to the stupid soldiery! It doesn’t sound possible.” Che RE The American Legion not only proposes to defend the boys who went after Bergdoll, but they propose to have Bergdoll finally. oo eRe RS THE PRESIDENT. Norman E. Mack of the Buffalo Times, a leading Democrat of New York state, member of the na- tional committee and one of the wheel horses of his party is withal a broad and patriotic man and his Democracy does not hurt him. When Mr. *Harding was inaugurated president of the United States he said in his paper: “Warren G. Harding is the president of the United States. “In all this vast country there was no thoughtful American so preoccupied or so indifferent that he did not pause on the stroke of twelve and, by wish or prayer, invoke the divine blessing upon the new mag- istrate in his great responsibility. “It is happily characteristic of the American peo- ple that they forget political prejudice once the ma- jority has spoken, Rancor is tempered by the fine oil of mutality. We go on together toward greater achievement and a finer nationalism. “We are passing the outpost of an epoch in the history of the American people. The analyst tells us the world has been fused again in the crucible of war and recast before our very eyes. Precedent was the dross. “What lies ahead of us no man may know. ‘fo- gether we must seek. “In all that confronts Mr, Harding let us not dis- cuss or give currency to the discouragements. Think trustingly, talk hopefully and act with faith. Keep always,in mind the consoling truth that the nation is greater than any trouble that can beset us. “This, beginning today, is the nation’s business.’ ee Secreary Hoover discovers that the treasury depart- ment has charge of the brown bears, the inerior de- partment has charge of the grizzly bears and the com- merce deparment has charge of the polar bears. He urges bringing our naional zoo under ‘one manage- ment. ep ta Et DISCUSSING THE DEBTS. Many editors who have turned their attention to a discussion of international debts are too prone to limit their observations to the relative expenditures of the various nations engaged in the war and to the present state of their treasuries. In doing so they find that if there should be a general cancellation of all inter-allied debts, Great Britain would still be the loser to the extent of almost $2,000,000,000, due to the fact that other nations owe her much more than her own foreign obligations. And if there be no debt cancellation, Great Britain would be a far heavier loser than is indicated only by what she owes the United States. Her heaviest creditor is Russia, to whom she loaned 568,000,000 pounds, the collection of which is exceedingly dubious. Merely viewed from the financial standpoint, whether or not there is a debt cancellation, sympathy is naturally extended to Great Britain. But to consider the matter in such a narrow light creates « wholly wrong impression. It makes no ac- count of the assets with which Great Britain, France, Japan dnd the other allies find themselves endowed as a result of the war. England’s’ liabilities, taken alone, are heavy, but when set off against her acqui- sitions they fade into insignificance. According to one of her own statisticians she came into possession of almost a million and a half square miles of terri- tory, about half the area of continental’ United States. Most of that territory is situated in Africa, and is of immense potential wealth. Its resources are. almost wholly undeveloped, although it is reported that many millions of dollars’ worth of diamonds have already been taken from the soil by British miners. It is cer- tain that the years in the immediate future will see a miraculous change in the former German African ter- ritory, accompanied by an unending flow of gold in- to the British treasury and into the pockets of her citizens who invest their capital in African enter- prises. Tt, has been conservatively estimated that the na- tional wealth of Great Britain hasbeen increased by one hundred billion dollars as a result of her man- dates and other miscellaneous acquisitions. It is true she cannot realize present cash on these holdings. It may even be said she is “land poor.” But it is equally true that the United States is making no demand for immediate payment of the British obligations. There will be no opposition to extending them over a period of years, making it possible for Great Britain to ex- tract their total many-fold from her new possessions, So it is a fair presentation of the case to say that against England’s debt to this country she holds new assets twenty times in excess thereof, This is the point that should be stressed in any dis- cussion of.-the allied debts. It applies also to the other countries which owe the United States money. Their receipts in reparations and territory were smaller than those of Britain but their obligations are also smaller. For months to come much will be heard of the wellnight insuperable financial burden under which Great Britain is laboring, but little will be said of her enormous increase of national wealth. Let the whole truth be told, that the people may judge for themselves of the righteousness of our insistence on payment of the allied debts, SRB Lio) Let us hope that there may be a suspension of hos- tilities in Ireland on the 17th long enough to proper- ly observe the day. 4 Cbe Casper Dail WITH OUR WYOMING EXCHANGE.
