Quealy of Kemmerer, is) nothing if not a big, bread large hearted American} citizen. Valuable to his community, state and coun- try. He never has and never will stand idly by and witness suffering in any form, if it is within his power to relieve it. Therefore it need cause no surprise when it is an- nounced that he has accepted the Wyoming chairman-! ship of.a committee to secure funds for the relief of innocent sufferers from the disturbed political eon- ditions in Ireland. 4 As any reader, who keeps abreast of the times,/ must know, for many months Ireland has been a theater of war. A gallant struggle of courageous men and women against the tremendous odds of the whole power and resources of the British Empire. In| the conflict fearless patriots have gone dowy to death) fhting for human liberty and the right to govern! thimselves, denied by the mother country. {n the warfare that has been waged fathers and mothers have been taken and.dependents left, behind} to struggle on their own account.and possibly for others for the necessities of livelihood, The destruc- tion of cities, towns, villages andvindpptries have left; the people without the Means of @ainfhg daily bread. Not that they lack the ‘courage or industry, but: de- struction and disturbance have placed the means of} securing netessities beyond théir reach. They. cat | not go to other places for conditions ate the throughout the island, Children‘are reduced to a single meala day and ‘the fare is both poor and! meagre, The suffering may be imagined. These people are our people. We owe them sonie- thing more than our sympathy. ‘The’ whole world of fers them that. We owe them the same substantial help they would render us in reversed circumstances, In their distress it becomes our Christian duty to suc-| cor them until the dawning of their brighter day. The aiding of the Irish people is purely a work of humanity. It is non-political, non-sectarian. Simply Christian. They must have food, clothing, medical supplics. The relief work is conducted through « national ex- ecutive committee, with headquarters in West 84th) street, New York, and some of th most prominent men| in the nation sre its members. Mr. Quealy is the) state chairman for Wyoming and this state’s quota is| ten thousand dollars. He says it ought to be se- cured easily and quickly. Any bank in Casper will accept your subscription and forward it for you. Or| if it will be more convenient, the Daily Tribune will receive your offering and transmit it to the proper hands, secing that acknowledgement is made, through Mr. Quealy, Can we desert these people, near and dear to us in ties of blood and friendship, in thejr dark hour? No we will do as they would do—divide the last we have with them. | } se A REAL ADMINISTRATION. The heads of departments in the Harding cabinet will have a free hand in conducting the business of their several departments. They are to be the secre- taries in fact to shoulder the responsibilities and ac- count for success or failure. They will have the power to act and will not be subject to direction as mere clerks or messengers. Mr. Harding recognizes that it takes more than one man to conduet the gov-, ernment of the United States. This being true he has} called to his assistance men who are accustomed to managing large affairs, and will entrust them with authority to show what they can do in conducting busi- ness for the government. The ultimate accountabil- ity, of course, rests upon Mr. Harding, for he has se- lected the men who will fill the positions, but respon- sibility for the manner in which the duties are per- formed will be with the incumbents of the several cabinet positions. It is also a determined policy of the president to as- sociate the vice president more closely with the ex- ecutive branch, and to call frequent cabinet confer- ences and establish a unity of effort and avoidance of conflict or duplication of effort in official action. ‘The numerous instances in which departments of the Wilson administration have worked at cross purposes were almost enough to create doubt as to the ultimate success of our form of government. We shall now see the result of having real men and not mere rub- ber stamps in cabinet positions. 0 LATIN AMERICAN TRADE. We have got to wake up on the South American trade question or else lose out on the whole show. The Harding administration seems alive about the matter for the president looked into matters when he visited the Isthmus early in the winter. He has sur- rounded himself with men familiar with Latin Amer- ican problems and the temperament of those peoples. His diplomacy must be a radical departure from that followed by the previous administration, if we ever get anywhere in restoring more cordlat relations and in securing a reestablishment of trade supremacy over European rivals. The foreign controlled press of the country below the equator has systematically given us the worst of it. We must institute legtimate propaganda of our own through private sources until our manufactures are again familiar to the people. The United States is the closest and best mar- ket for all South and Central America, Here the ex- change of commodities can be effected to better ad- vantage to both parties than at any other point in the world. And it has only been through neglect and failure to cultivate our natural friends that we do not enjoy better commercial relations today. One of the greatest hindrances to the establishment of cordial relations, personal and commercial, be- tween the United States and. the. «Latin n countries has been the insidious and lying propaganda of certain European countries. Heretofore our tele- graphic communications with Latin America have been controlied by European interests. They have seen to it that nothing complimentary to the United States sparked through their wires, but all the slop | and muck procurable has been unloaded from their cables for the South American press service and the daily consumption of its readers until the untraveled ones have grown to believe us a nation of cut-throats, libertines, and second-story workers, without decency and without grace. Naturally, the business men of Latin America have not been particularly encouraged by opinion thus formed, to expand their dealings with’ us, so long as Europesn trade was open to them. The government must get behind private enterprise )' in publicity and other efforts to reestablish ourselv jin these countries. 4 SPE FE ae eee te WAGES AND FAIR PLAY. “In the progress toward what we call vaguely ‘nor- mal conditions,’ ” says the Chicago Tribune, “‘the re- adjustment of wages is perhaps the most difficult of our many problems: Readjustment in commodity prices has been painful and, in some cases, ruinous, but the reduction of wages is even more complicated and unpleasant. If it is too violent, it will involve consequences, both to tie individual and the country, which will counterbalance the good effects expected in the economic situation. ‘ “In a broad sense this readjustment will be govern- ed by conditions no man or set of men can control. The buying slump in America and the paralysis of Europe have brought the shutting down of factories, the curtailmont of business, a widespread unemploy- ment. With railroad traffic reduced, building stag- nant, manufacture slowed down, price levels of com- | modities lowered, and business inactive even at the reduced levels, labor will have to be adjusted to the |new conditions. “This, we believe, is pretty generally realized by responsible l~ders of labor and by the thinking wage earner. But, unfortunately, the problem has been complicated by other considerations. Certain master- ful employers have made no concealment of their in- tention to make use of the economic situation to at- tack the organization of labor. The same attempt was made, and for some years succeeded, after the Civil war and tBe panic of 1873. In fact, labor was then at a’disadvantage, and it was handled without gloves. In return it fought back with anything it could lay hands on, and many of the evils of unionism and the difficulties in establishing harmonious rela- tions between employers and employes which persist to this day had their source in the unhappy warfare of that period. “No employer who can see beyond the end of his nose, no conscientious labor leader, no sensible work- er wants a return to those days. The -temporary ad- vantages which might come to directors through the breaking up of organization would be more than off- set by the replacement of unionism with destructive forms of action and a guerrilla warfare which would destroy any hope of peace or maximum production. “But industrial peace and maximum production are essential to American, prosperity. . We cannot. go it foreign niarkets to meet competition if our industry ina sepeail and our aebnlar a Oe artaaaes” By strife, are: producing at a low level ciency.” Ae i peace based on the best feeling obtainable, tial to ns.” ‘ “During the war, when lJabor’s power was high, we heard much talk of the sanctity of contract, of pa- triotic service, of the drawing togethér of right mind- ed workers and employers. All that is now to be put to the test again, and our need for the virtues then xtolled is not less than it was in war-time. We have all suffered from war and its aftermath. We are in sore need of peace, and we can get it only by having consideration for one another and for the common good. The folly of trying to ‘smash labor’ is abysmal, first, because labor can’t be smashed, and, second, be- cause it ought not to be smashed. Evils there are among the policies and practices of labor. as among |the policies and practices of business and of politics. The attack should be on them, and, if it is honestly made, it will get help from the best of labor itself. But the organization of Americans for the defense of their rights and the advancement of their condition can never be destroyed. It will take various forms, having various faults and merits, and the way to de- feat its evils is to put something better in their place. “American employers have in the present situation a chance to take a long step toward permanent indus- trial harmony. They are themselves carrying a heavy burden, and cannot meet unreasonable expectations. Wages will have to be readjusted, and we believe la- bor realizes this. But it makes all the difference in the world how the readjustments are made; whether by war or in fair conference. This is the time to set precedents. When labor was weak, labor was strong for arbitration. When labor, during the war short- age, was strong, its devotion to arbitration grew weak. That was foolish and short-sighted. Employers ought to be wiser. Fair play pays in the long run for both sides. If employers refuse to take advantage of their strength now, they will invest for the future, and a spirit of confidence between employer and employe, the lack of which in the past and present has been and is the great obstacle to industrial peace, will ap- pear. “Confronted by grave problems of restoration at home and co-operation abroad, America has a right to demand peace in her own household. That can only be had of justice and good will.” es IT’S GOING TO BE DONE, You all know about Will Hays, postmaster general ig the new cabinet. ‘There was no error made in his appointment. We imagined that he would remove his coat, roll up his sleeves and get promptly to work, and he has done it. He finds there is considerable to do to restore this great institution to usefulness to the people. What he says he will do, he generally does. Here is what he says about it: “The Postal establishment ig not an institution for profit or politics. It is an institution for service, and it is the president’s purpose that every effort shall be made to improve that service. “Every effort shall be exercised to humanize the industry. Labor is not a commodity. That idea was abandoned 1921 years ago next Easter; Thero are 800,000 employes. They have the brain and they have the hand to do the job well; and they shall have the heart to do it well, “We purpose to approach this matter so that they shall be partners with us in this business. It is a greht human institution touching every individual in the country. It is a great business institution serv- ing every individual in the country. I know that with 10,000 men and women pledged to serve all the peo- ple and honestly discharging that duty, fairly. treated and properly appreciated, all partners here with us in this great enterprise, we can do the job. i “It’s going to be done.” ———_—_0—_____ It is to be hoped that Mr. Harding will waste no time in concluding a proper peace with Germany and relieve the intolerable situation. , Tete PREWE Tena, A Republican president would never have handed Yap to Yapan. ie People’s Forum Editor Tribune: ‘There: seqms to be: a very great misunderstanding i taxpayers as to who fs pa: for the 00d roads we'are building. One man who ‘signs hitnselt “A Tax Payer”? calls me down fot advocating the support of the bond issue to be voted | upon on May 10, and he Is doing this simply because he does ‘not . know how the bond issue is to'be paid off. Further he states that we the $1,800,000" that we get from the federal government by our income taxes, If we do pay that money thru our income tax; is It not better to get it back “right. at 7 get it back at If we vote for the bond issue, we wil! have the $1,800,000 of our own; -and-will also “have the $1,800,000 that -the- federal government puts up to match our money, making $3,600,000 to be used on our highways, and it will not cost the taxpayer one cent. Further than that, it will save him money for it “do not do this the county will have-to keep the roaés up at th pxeecesnetacinshrdiuetaocinu up at the expense of the taxpayers by a direct tax, The bonds vote are retirgd by the automobile money, just the same as the bonds for the $3,000,000 that was voted two years ago is now being paid off. If the wool growers had understood this they would never have passed a reéso- lution that all road work be stopped, as they did at thelr last convention held in this city. ‘They voted for that resolution without knowing what they were voting; for, and one of the most prominent wool growers of Natrona County told me that if he had under- stood it he would have stopped that resolution from being passed. This taxpayer also throws discredit upon the statement that 60 per cent of the people living In the State of Wyoming lve on the Yellowstone highway. Here he is wrong again. The people who live within one hours’ ride of the Yellowstone highway constitute more | ¢ than 60 per cent of the population of the state. These figures were made by a man who ts competent to make them, and puts the city of Casper in at 20,000 people, which you allow is a fair figure. Now if all the taxpayers will get busy and keep up this good read work we will soon have good roads for sure, but they try to throw discredit on the work without first being sure of what they are all talking about they will cause us to silp back- wards, for we cannot stop without great. loss of both time and money. I hop@ Mr. Taxpayer will now get busy d_get all of his friends out to vote for the bond issue on the 10th of May.
