James Stillman may hang on to the presidency of the largest and most important bank in the United States of America by virtue of his ownership or part ownership of the controlling stock. From this safe| retreat, with his millions piled about him assume and pretend to virtue and honor all he chooses but he is blinding no one but himself. It is not for him to publicly brand “Fifi” Potter as unfaithful, whatever | her sin. She is the wife of his youth, the mother of his children and entitled to his protection and defense to the end. He is a contemptible cur or he would not put upon her the charge he has made. If she. is guilty and has confessed, as alleged, she, with it all, is ten thousand times better, truer and squarer than he is. For he was hiding from her a similar sin. She was honest enough to confess. He was to blame, for his neglect of her placed her in the way of temptation. He can in no way be hu- miliated by her action for he lacks that high concep- tion and finer feeling that goes with genuine pride. He cast the first stone at her but his sins were deeper than hers, and it was unwarranted on his part on that account, from the highest authority this earth has known. Whether he receives it or not James Stillman has earned the contempt of every real man who walks upright. And there is no description that fits him so snugly and so aptly depicts his attitude and perform- ance than to say piously and with not the remotest thought of profanity—James Stillman is a damned cad. Jae EE a Admiral Fiske, retired, says jin the dedication of a book a friend wrote about the war, that Josephus Dan- iels is a liar, The admiral is correct in his conclu- sion. He could, with perfect accuracy, have added, “and a mighty common one at that.” a COMPANY COMING, We are promised some rather large doings before long in the way of receiving and entertaining Eu- ropean guests. Diplomats, commissions, singly and in groups representing what is left of the principal European powers, Japan and China will be present also, They are coming to America this trip instead of America going to Paris. The object of all the fuss, is to see what can be done to rectify the mistakes and unscramble the mess that resulted from the Paris party. Meaning no inhospitality or impoliteness to the guests, Mr. Harding will do well to lock the treasury and put the key under his pillow, for nothing much can be done for Europe it seems without using a whole lot of money, and what little we have, we have urgent need and use. As a matter of course, we are very much desired within the league to give it some force and effect. And there is no secret that we would be welcome on any terms. While perfectly willing to trust Mr. Harding, Mr. Hughes and thé senate in the matter, if there is any- thing we can do besides joining the league and dig- ging the kale we the people would be very much pleased to learn about it. ' Should we undertake to help compose the affairs of the distracted world, it will not be through a su- per government and there wili be no pledge to use American military and naval forces in European po- lice work. Our friends must be fully recovered from the illusions and delusions cast over them by Mr. Wil gon and be ready to talk plain language with refer- ence to practical things. Bringing their troubles across the ocean at a time when we expected to get a lot of summer work done about the old home place is a bit inconvenient, but we can’t turn company away when they travel so far to see us, We must simply do the best we can, give them the best advice we have, send them back to work and get back to work ourselves. Hope they have sense enough to know that we have the fall crops to get in and wood to chop for winter and not tarry too long. SS James D, Gallup of Buffalo, Wyoming, and William Spry, former governor of Utah, were contestants in the race for the commissionership of the general land office. Mr. Spry seems to have won the race, which proves that a stitch in time saves nine; and if you don’t like it that way pull your own conclusion about Gallup and Spry. eiaietaeeceetbeeerree eee THE UNITED STATES IS. “There is something which will be refeshing and stimulating to the nation,” declares the Chicago Trib- une, “in the news of the American Legion’s demon- stration in Madison Square Garden in answer to the recent ‘Rhine horror’ meeting staged at the same place. The simple fact that 25,000 Americans can assemble spontaneously and voice their Americanism enthusiastically is something worthy of comment and thanksgiving in view of the number of gatherings in the past year for other thap American purposes. “It leads us again to believe that we are still one} nation, and that a nation of Americans, not a hetero-| geneous collection of pro-Germans, anti-Germans, pro-| British, anti-British, pro-Irish, anti-Irish, etc. It con- | couraged. | their former countrymen in various corners of-Europe ests lie in the old world. We have been inclined to grow passive in the face of the danger is’ America fostered by such European influences. The Madison Square Garden mee.ing indicates that, while we may have been passive, we have not been unconscious. “Here is aggressive Americanism. It,is something which will defend America actively from the insid- ious propaganda of European interests, “ ‘We object,’ said General Pershing to the cheer- ing thousands of his assembled veterans, ‘to the for- eign born citizen who attempts to decide an American question for a foreign reason, whether he be-of Ger- man lineage and proposes to determine ‘an American policy because of German prejudice, or whether he be Irish, Italian, Hungarian, or Russian, who seeks for similar reasons to decide American questions. There can be no such thing as dual citizenship in America. Inder no guise can this country be made the breed- ing place of intrigue.’ “That is good American doctrine from a fighting leader of fighting Americans. When 25,000 Americans assemble to hear and cheer it we may well feel en. It is so completely the opposite of the in- trigue which it opposes that such intrigue is certain to fail. Those who seek comforts or advantages for do so by efforts to embroil the United States in Eu- ropean difficulties. That is dnti-American. The methods used are deceptive and frequently insincere. Such open four-square opposition on the grounds of pure Americanism and the principles for which we fought in the world war is certain to prevail ay&inst the insidious efforts of a dual citizenship. “Such stories as that of the ‘Rhine horror’ meeting in Madison Square Garden or the lesser item of the heckling of Sir Philip Gibbs at Orchestra hall in Chi- cago sink into their proper place of insignificance compared with the true American demonstration just reported. We are still a nation. Those who have shown doubts will do well to take note.” ico is to be invited to join the league of na- She is eligible for it is largely made up of Me cipples, oir Mod VAS Bt MARY DOES NOT APPROVE. Three cheers for America’s sweetheart. It is in- deed a distinction to be loved, by an entire nation, but Mary Pickford will retain the title and deserve it as tong as she talks good sense and by her winsome man- ner charms the public. 4 Mary never has affec' men’s dress, in fact st in her latest decrees. value, so here it it: “Cobweb silk hosiery, short dresses, high-heeled shoes and low-necked waists should not be worn on the streets. The afternoon shopping district parade is a disgrace. “Present day styles destroy illusions and kill ro- mance. The average girl of today has not the shape- ly ankle or foot that is becoming with short skirts. In fact, it seems they have weak ankles. “The styles of 1850 and 1860 were much more dainty, attractive and even practical than those of to- day. And I make no exception of the old hoopskirt, either. “Shop and schoolgirls make a mistake in trying to dress like women of wealth. To do that, they have to buy cheaper and tawdry material. ‘Silks’ should not be worn on the street except by middle-aged women. Lisle or woolen stockings and simple frocks should be good enough for anyone. “Evening dresses should always have sleeves. Every evening dress I have has sleeves of some kind. “Women should dress according to what makes them appear best. By no means should they allow Dame Fashion to tell them what to wear.” Mary may be a bit old fashioned in her taste, but she is dead right and when our women and girls re- cover from the present extremes they will look back upon the present day vagaries with more shanie than pleasure. the extreme styles in wo- 8 and scores Dame Fashion Mary’s opinion ought to be of Aon Ea Mates aed, Germany is enjoying a dose of anarchy. even worse than reparations. — Oe THE PHOTOPLAY’S CHANCE. The prediction of photoplay producers that Clara Smith Hamon will not receive a loud call from their art to come and help commend it to the public, ob- serves the Kansas City Star, may or may not be sus- tained by the event. But until disproved it must be hailed with satisfaction and full faith and credit be given the producers who are making this stand against influences that are a chief danger to the success and permanence of their form of entertainment. The photoplay (which we understand the producers prefer to have it called) will by no means be free from those influences even if it manages to escape conveying the great moral lessons which Clara Smith Hamon may desire to disseminate through its agency. Some producers seem to have all but surrendered to the theory that the public will stand for anything that they can manage to get by the police. Others have resisted this assumption as a working basis for their art, and the balance still trembles. On the whole, the That is People’s Forum The Railroad Controversy Editor ‘Tribune: As I belong to one of the Brother- hoods, and am interested in the con- troversy over the “National Agree: ment,” and as I am one of the men of whom it is sald, “He giver not an honest day's work for an honest wage/’ I thought I would write you cents.

I read The Tribune every evening, and at times the editorials seem fair, and again T feel that they are mis- leading to the public. It is true that public opinion will be @ large factor in deciding the present controversy. For the most part the public forms its opinions from the press. So don’t you think that the press. should be absolutely impartial and print nothing but facts, disregarding the ganda sent out from the radical. ele- ments of both sides?

History shows what license leads to in the form of entertainment of which the photoplay is a product. At one period the stage succeeded in utterly ruining it- self, and its just reward was the closing of the thea- ters. The good had to suffer with the bad, and to be an actor was to be a candidate for the stocks or the cart’s tail, A, better age, in which the efforts of ac- tors and an improved public taste co-operated to re- move the evils responsible for this result, restored the stage to favor and usefulness. The lesson is one the photoplay producers cannot afford to misread. If they corrupt the public taste for immediate profit the reaction must inevitably be against their future prosperity, for they will only suc- ceed in calling forth legislation for the public’s pro- tection that will put strict limitations on them. When regulation comes it will be likely to be severe in pro- portion to the license taken. They are taking a good deal. The aim of certain so-called comedies seems to be not fun, but vulgarity. The aim of certain so-call- ed dramas seems to be not entertainment, but the titillation of the depraved. There haye been. pictures of both kinds shown in Kansas City where many in the audience must have wished the lights would not come on at the end, so they could get out without be- ing seen. , if the producers do not realize this is ultimately go- ing to make an outlaw of their entertainment, then they are not the good business men they have been be- lieved to be. They have their choice of reforming the screen or having it reformed for them. Those pro- dueers who bring out the Olara Smith Hamons are voting to turn the reforming over to the police.

The Scout to The Rescue (Sheridan Post) ‘That scout training might have proved beneficial to the manners of some men of Present generation was demonstra yesterday when a rather humorous little incident oc- eprred, The noon train had just ar- rived and a poung lady with a small baby stépped off, apparently to en- joy the air until the train should pull out. The wind was blowing and the mother seemed to have some difficulty {in unfelding tho small cart in which she intended to give the baby its air- ing. No assistance was offered until a boy of ten or twelve who had also stepped off the train, came to the res- cue and with the pleasant manner and ready smile which seems a character- istic of the real scout offered his aid. It was just a smal! thing but those no loud or profane talk that is alleged as usually characterizing such events, and in short, the crowd semed to act no differently from those which are found at basketball, football or baze- ball games, In other places, perhaps this is not the case. Perhaps our good fortune in having such clean affairs here may be attributed tp the manner in which local promoters endeavor to manage the matches.
