Commissioner Spry of the general land office has ordered a temporary suspension of the processes necessary in completing oil and mineral leases and patents to public lands in the west. The first indi- cation to the public and to those interested came in the withdrawal of the advertisements required un- der law. ; The action of the commissioner may mean sev- eral things, among them that there is to be a com- plete revision of the system under which the business affairs of his office are conducted and by which the public lands are disposed. ? In an administration of public affairs, continued over a series of years, abuses creep in through in- terpretations of the laws and rulings of officers that may give rise later to questions touching the integ- rity and good faith of those who have been in charge. of the peoples’ business. To avoid all of these complications and to clear the decks for an unquestioned conduct of the public land interests, is presumed to be the reason for the tempo- rary stoppage of the routine activities, Commissioner Spry is a gentleman of wide experi- ence and information in public and official affairs and it is readily understood that he would not care to pursue the policies of administration inaugurated by his predecessor without exact knowledge as to whether they fitted in with his own ideals of public administration and those of the regime under which he has undertaken service to the people. 0 How long will Mr. Harding continue his open door policy at the White House? Until he discovers that it leaves him no/time to devote to the business of goy- erning the country. ere een eee reread WHY BE HOGGISH? There is some dissatisfaction expressed among up- state Republicans that the Cheyenne Tribune has boldly walked into the larder and demanded almost its entire contents for the famishing brethren in and about Cheyenne, having no regard whatever for the hunger of other and deserving toilers in the more dis- tant portions of the vineyard. It is such slabs of bacon as the federal judgeship, the federal attorneyship and the federal collectorship of internal revenue that the Cheyenne organ would keep within the local fold. It was very wise in not also claiming the federal marshalship. It knows when and what not to claim, Local pride is a very excellent thing in its place. It is to be commended ordinarily but it should not be allowed to degenerate into selfishness or. piggish- ness in party affairs. The Cheyenne Tribune, in desiring its local friends’ appointment to public office overlooks the claims and qualifications of applicants elsewhere. Cheyenne is only a fraction in the sum of Repub- lican affairs of Wyoming, entitled only to a modest share of the loaves and fishes, and when its news- papers put forth claims to everything in sight, on be- half of twenty other counties of the state filed with warrior Republigans, we are inclined to inquire— Where do you get that stiuff? The Easter storms destroyed the fruit Kansas and Missouri. not so severely. crops of Other sections suffered but 0 ; SURENESS OF ENGLISH JUSTICE, Mr. William C. Gregg, writing tor The Outlook, has.this to say for justice as administered in Eng- land: “A court lawyer in England is called a barrister, the others solicitors. It is beneath the dignity pf a barrister to meet ordinary clients direct. The solicit- or prepares a brief and submits it to his superior; be- fore the case goes to trial he may consent to see you. The barrister has quite a definite social position. He wears a gown and wig in court. “Don’t smile, fellow American: You better look under these adornments. superior smile will become sickly. “What is the product of the British courts of jus- tice? Strange to say, it is justice, prompt and un- avoidable, As a result, there has been no crime wave in England. The transition from war to peace, from business booms to present depression, has brought no such general awlessness as has marked the history of such general lawlessness as has marked the history of ‘Well, in America we arrest only a few of our crim- inals, convicting perhaps 10 per cent of those arrest- ed, then we pardon most of those convicted. We let them off on generous terms. “Today in America thousands of thugs and mur- derers are figuring on the risks of robbery; facts are all around them, they point to the small average risk. | All honor to the barristers with their social positions and white wigs, all honor to the similarity bedecked justices of England.

Then when the jury held the similar view and ac- quitted her of murder we readily approved and said! her punishment for any act she had committed would be to continue to live in freedom, with the weight of her own past condgct upon her conscience. We were hasty at each step'in the matter and spoke without full knowledge. We formed our judg- ment from press reports in the case, and they it seems were incomplete. Even the searching investiga- tions of the prosecution did not bring out at the trial all of the facts in the life of Clara Hamon. The state was lax. It was even negligent in its duty, in plac- ing evidence before the jury. Had the state’s attor- neys been more diligent, a conviction could have been} secured as easily as the defense secured acquittal. All that is beside the question now,. the charge against Clara Hamon of a capital offense has. been bearing on that charge is past. And the law does not permit opening the case and again placing her life} in jeopardy. The additional evidence against her is presented in the hope that it may come to the notice ficient for a new indictment on another count. Clara Hamon writes poetry and here is the proof. The act was committed in the fall of 1920 a few months pre- vious to the crime for which she was tried. Here it is. Judge for yourself: In Ardmore. We're down here in old Ardmore. Where you never felt the blues, Where the bandits steal the jitneys And the marshals steal the booze, Where the buildings form the skyline, Where their middie name is Boost, Where they shot a man for pastime, Where the chickens never roost; Where the stickup men are wary And the bullets fall like hail, | Where each pocket has a pistol And each pistol’s good for jail; Where they always hang the juries And they never hang a man, If you call some bird a liar You get home the best you can; Where you get up in the morning In a world of snow and sleet And you come home in the evening A-suffering from the heat; ‘Where the jitneys whizz around you And the street cars barely creep, Where the burglars pick your pockets As you “lay me down to sleep; ‘Where the bulldogs have the rabies And the rabbits have the fleas; Where the big girls, like the small ones, Wear their dresses to their knees; Where you whisk out in the morning Just to give your health a chance, Say “Howdy” to some outlaw Who shoots big holes in your pants; Where the wise owls fear to hoot out loud And the birds don’t dare to sing, For it’s hell down here in Ardmore, ‘Where they all shoot on the wing. Since, we have, in a moment of weakness, declared: sympathy for-Clara Hamon, and have said she should not be subjected to punishment by the courts, we de- sire now to withdraw all expressions of compassion d revise all hasty judgments heretofore uttered with reference to what should and should not be done by courts and juries, in view of the new evidence sub- mitted. We are fully satisfied that had the jury been in- formed of the fact that Clara Hamon writes poetry and had exhibits of her poetical carpenter work been presented to it, the verdict, upon this showing alone, would have been life. —_ THERE IS NO COMPARISON, The fellow who constantly cries for a return to the good old times of his boyhood is more or less of a hypocrite or he does not stop whining long enough to survey modern conditions and blessings in comparison with the time he desires to go back to; and he lacks the frankness of the other fellow who inquired of the cafe proprietor, if he had pie like his mother used to make and when the obliging proprictor assured him that he had, the customer declined it and said that was what he desired to avoid. He was a person who recognized that improvement had been made in pies iu the years that had elapsed and he wanted no more of the old style kind but the improved kind. Farm and ‘Home says the good old times are not to be compared with the present and tells why; “There are still some folks who sigh for good old times. But who would welcome them were they to come back? “Subtract from modern life the movie, porcelain bathtubs, vacuum sweepers, electric lights, instaut- aneous hot water and telephones. “Take out phonographs, motor cars, electric irons and washing machines and sanitary plumbing. “Banish these things and you have again what peo- ple like to call ‘good old times.’ . “Who really wants the good old times back? “Occasionally a cynic declaims against the modern improvement, but he never means it, The modest |-vehicles—C.

Please give me the names of states which have the use of exhaust Whistles on mantor A. The American Automobile asso- ciation says that practically all tes: prohibit the use of anything on auto- mobiles that makes noise except a sound of warning. All cars should be equipped with mufflers. Q. Since Hoyle has been dead for a ceutnry, why do we still say “accord- ing to Hoyle?” Haven't rules for card games changed since?—R. A. A. The word “Hoyle” has come to stand as an abbreviation for “Encyclo- pedia of Indoor Games.” “Played ac- cording to Hoyle,” simply means “‘cor- rectly played,” or “according to estab- lished rules." The origina! mk by Edmund Hoyle was the first attempt to collect in one volume the rules of popular indoor games. This collec- tion has been added to and changed, but many people have the delusion that Hoyle wrote about games such as pinochle and poker, which in reality he never knew. Q@ Has the mayor of a city any authority to call out the state militia? —F. F. A. The War Department says that the State Adjutant General in the cap- ital of each state is the only one, aside from the Governor of the state, who has the right to call out the state militia. Q, Please explain the provision of the postal law the return to the postal service of ex-service men.— M. B. M. " A, The postoffice department says that a man who has been in the serv- ice of the army and has been a regu- lar postal employee receiving less than $1,800, can get credit for the riumber of years he has served in the military or naval service. When he returns to the postal service after being in military service, promotion will go on automatically just as tho he had been serving that time in the postoffice de- partment. Q. Which is the greatest river in the world?—L. ©. M. A. The Amazon is the greatest river in the world, being said to contain one-tenth of all the running water on the globe. Q. What should silver be packed in to prevent tarnishingt—J. H. A. We suggest that you wrap the silver in canton flannel. The jewelers use red, gray, or green canton flan- nel, but never white, because the chemical that has bleached the white canton flannel often causes the silver be constructed in connection for the to darken. If the drawer, chest or bag where the silver is stored. con- tains a few pieces of gum camphor, the tarnish will not form so soon. @. In what country was first played?—F, J. H. or A. There is_much evidence to show that this game is of Dutch origin. a royal le James VI of Scotland (James I of England): who forbade the importation from Holland of the balls and clubs used in the game, and from pictorial representa- tion of the game which are chiefly Dutch, the evidence is in support of the above assumption. It was intro- duced into Scotland before the middle of the 15th century. Q@. How may oil paintings be cleansed?—I, W.

The decline in living costs shown in one part of the country does not apply to all other sections. Each section is largely controlled by local conditions. Take a large center like New York and compare it with Casper and declines will not hold good. The New York Tribune shows price readjustment in the metro- politan territory to like this: “Price readjustment shows some curious irregular ities. Wholesale prices are still declining, the drop in February averaging 5.75 per cent, But the decrease has been spotty in the last twelve months. “Farm products and clothing prices have sunk fast- est, the former 45 per cent and the latter 44 per cent. “Building material prices have gone down 26 per cent, but fuel and lighting prices are 16.5 per cent higher than they were a year ago. “Price scale adjustment is painful, becaure it beara so unequally on different groups of producers, “But the inequalities of today are far leas glaring than those of Jast July. The forces working for re- duction haven't been exhausted, but they are becom- ing diffused and weaker. “The average percentage of inerease in the cost of living since July, 1914, is now 68.8.
