There is considerable bantering backwards and for- wards between the counties of Hot Springs and Sher- idan with reference to which will roll up the tall- est majority in favor of the $1,800,000 bond issue at the state-wide election on May 10th, The Chamters of Commerce of Thermopolis and Sheridan have attempted to convince themselves and each other there was nothing to it, that their par- ticular county would lead all other counties in the state in majority. So earnest has the bluffing become that Thermop- Mis has backed her boast by an offer to wager $5,000 that Hot Springs county will show a greater percent- age in majority than any county in the state, and adds “money talks.” To date the Sheridan Chamber of Commeree ix still studying her hand and has given no evidence of seeing the bet. The other nineteen counties, while invited to sit into the game, have shown ho inclination to buy the necessary stack, appearing perfectly willing to per- mit Thermopolis and Sheridan fight it out. Possibly, as May 10 draws nearer there will be a better show of confidence and nerve. It would seem, so far all the good roads enthusiasm is confined to two counties. ROLE tty aioe oenoee runie an DO WE OWE FRANCE? One of the minor French statesmen has cast a doubt uyon the fact of repayment of money advanted by France to the United States during the Revolutionary we and also the purchase price of territory known as .¢ Louisiana Purchase. these transactions are more than a hundred years old and have been presumed to have been paid years and years ago. ‘Treasury officials, however, have searched the records of the department and report fail- ure to disclose balances due France in either transac- tion. “ Jean Bernard, who sets up the claim, furnishes no particulars whatever to establish it other than the assertion of non-payment. If, in the stirring events of the two republics there is actually any omission of fractional repayment in the one case or failure in deferred payments in, the other case the government of the United States should thoroughly satisfy itself and the government of France either of payment in full, or balance due if such exists, and then settle in full with interest. The claim of M. Bernard is regurded as preposter- ous both in French and American official circles, that a situation such as he claims could exist, No matter, how trivial and unsupported the mat- ter may seem, it should be completely determined to the satisfaction of the people of both countries, eens WILL NOT BE Goop. When there was no demand for it during the win- ter, building material rapidly descended in price. Now that it is spring and possible to prosecute building to advantage, those who seek to relieve the house shortage learn with dismay that the prices demanded are very much advanced. The dealers explain that it is all due to a “strong market,” due to active spring building. So it goes, when you don’t want a thing the price is low, when you have need of it, you find that the price fully corresponds in amount to the degree of your necessity, and is not based, at all times, upon a fair percentage advance over cost. The federal government has just discovered this to be the situation with reference to present building material prices. The supreme. court decision declaring the profiteer- ing clause of the Lever act unconstitutional is sus- pected of being the influence. more than the demand, that is causing the present complaint, i A GERMAN OPPORTUNITY, Secretary Weeks of the war departinc ays “we will get Bergdoll” and we will also sec the re- lease of Neuf and Zimmer who attempte: kidnap the deserter on German soil. Well, why nu haven't We ah army in Germany and isn’t such request as may. be made in the matter a simple and regular one? If it is desired that we take Bergdoll, ourselves, and re- lease our men from prison we not only can but will do it. It is much preferred that Germany deliver all of those inen at General Allen’s headquarters and have such credit as would accrue to her from the act of courtesy and decenc $a REPLY TO SOVIET RUSSIA. Replying to a recent appeal from the soviet gov- ernment of Russia to the government of the United States for a resumption of trade relations Secretary Hughes returfns:an answer that will commend itself to the entire country as expressing the view of the great body of our people, weary of disorder and ir. responsibility. The secretary’s communication is brief, courteous and pointed. It says: “The government of the United States views with deep sympathy and’ grave concern the plight of the people of Russia and desires to sid by every appro- priate mea: in promoting proper opportunities through which commerce ,can be established upon a sound basis. It is manifest to this government that in existing circumstances thete is no assurance for the development of trade, as the supplies which Rus- sia might now be able to obtain would be wholly in- i a adequate to meet her needs and no lasting good can result so long as the present causes of progressive im- poverishment continue to operate. “It is only in the productivity of Russia that there is any hope for the Russian people, and it is idle to expect resumption of trade until the economic bases of production are securely established, Production is conditioned upon the safety of life, the recognition by firm guarantees of priyate property, the sanctity of contract and the rights of free labor. “If fundamental changes ‘are contemplated inyolv- ing due regard for the protection of persons and prop- erty and the establishment of conditions essential to the maintenance of commerce, this government will be glad to have convinting evidence of the cohsumma- tion of such changes, and until this evidence is sup- plied this government is unable to perceive that there is any proper basis for considering trade relations.” GERMAN RED FIRE, There is no specia) reason to grow excited concern- tne the reported red uprising and armed clashings with the police in Germany. She has had many such spasms in the past Ghd they have done no particular harm except to a few of the enthusiasts engaged. Germany has regularly staged uprisings every time outside affairs pressed seriously. This time it is the reparations demands of the allies and Germany has said no to the twenty billion request and through the civil disturbance is endeavoring to establish the rea- son why. All Germany has ever done since she sued for peace in the war she brought about, is to whine and stall. It is Just about time for the allied troops to make the long postponed visit to Be: y AUR Ae tat RESULT OF VETO. It is said that the veto by the former president of the emergency tariff bill has haf the effect of bring- ing huge quantities of wool and meats into our mar- kets. One hundred million pounds of wool are re- ported on the way to American warehouses,/ and shousands of carcasses of frozen mutton and beef are being stored away for speculative purposes. Yet the cost of living remains about the same. What little reduction there has been in the price of clothes and food has been due to deflation and not t% increased imports. What has resulted is the thrzatened ruina- tion of whole industries. RTS “TELE D DIFFICULTIES NOT INSURMOUNTABLE. It is altogether possible that within the next year or two substantial progress will be made toward re- striction if not actual reduction in armaments, as ap- plied to navies. President Harding said in his inaugural address, “We are ready to associate ourselves with the nations of the world for conference to recommend a way to approximate disarmament and relief from the crush- ing burdens of military and naval establishments.” The United States being the wealthiest nation in the world is in far better position to build and main- tain a huge navy than any other country. This fact and. a willingness to discuss the matter indicates that the first move to put an end to international naval competition! should come from America, e British ate in a, recepi mood and in all probability all the other nations would be found will- ing to discuss the question of limitation at least, In such proposals we are concerned with Amefica’s welfare and there are fundamentals that must be in- sisted upon. In the first place the American navy| should be the equal, if not the superior, of any other afloat. Our position as the foremost world power to- day, coupled with the necessity of providing a. pro- tection for our Pacific coast equal to that furnished for the Atlantic seaboard, demand equality. No na- tion in the world, even though possessed of far-flui colonies, has a coast line behind which is shelt such great wealth as that of the United States. Secondly the American navy must always be sub- stantially superior to any navy of an Asiatic power. It is against all natural laws that the Anglo-Saxon: race should be seriously threatened by the Mongol-! jan, and it is equally contrary to the natural course of events that the latter race should ever attempt to make the Western Hemisphete its home. Asia is its habitat and there it should remain. The statcs quo must be maintained ut ali hazards, and a dominant) American navy is the best and, in fact, the only in-/ surance thereof. The discussions re; ing such a question must) necessarily lie among the nations most powerful upon! the sea—the United States, ‘Great Britain and Japap. | The propositions upon which this country must make| an irrevocable atend intimately affect both the other nations. If they are willing to acquiesce, a naval holiday for the world is not far distanct. And there is no good reason why they should not fall in with! the American suggestions. At present Great Britain) is our superior on the sea, but in three or four years it is predivted the relation will be reversed. There is no hation in the world with which the United States is less likely to go to war than Great Britain, Again,! it must be conceded that any present increase in na- val srmament by her or by us is an effort to meet the naval growth of the other. That being true, there appears no valid objection to equalizing the two na- vies. And equalization should not mean construction by the weaker country until it reaches the strength of the former. Construction by both should cease, and equality be reached by retiring from service certain ships of the stronger navy or assigning them to the weaker, With an agreement between the United States and Great Britain it should not be a difficult matter to se- cure the assent of Japan to the proposition outlined. The difficulties do not appear insurmountable. And a practical consummation of such a project would be somewhat of a contrast to the impossible proposals that have occupied the world’s attention since the close of the European war. pe WHOM TO TRUST. IT don’t like Bill Bartholomew. He's pleasant-like and friendly, too, But something seems to say to mé He ain’t the man he seems to be. I know he teaches Sunday school, And advocates the Golden Rule And speaks of Brother this and that But here’s the p'int I’m gettin’ at— T’ve noticed every dog he meets On country roads or in the streets, Gives Bill une look and élinks away— That don’t look good for Bill, I say. Then there’s the preacher Ogden Stokes, Who's made a hit with lots of folks, He's educated you enn see, And polished to a high degree. And I must say, he’s got a plan To help the Brotherhood of Man, That seems all right, no doubt it be, But he: the thing that pus The children quit their psy in < And seem to dread him comin’ near— He tay be right with lots of folks, But I'm not trustin’ Ogden Stokes. There’s Emmett Drew—a failure, yeo— If earthly goods are meant, I guess; But every dog in Emmett’s sight Nigh wags his tail off in delight, And children greet him as a friend, And tag about him without end. His own—some eight or ten, or more— Watch every evening at the door And when he comes in sight, they race To plant the first kiss on his face. On Judgment Day I'm bettin’ folks, He outranks Bill and Ogden Stokes. ~Griff Crawford. ) { The church of the Immaculate To Build New Church.
