Frederick and Henry Katzenjammer, who will put on, each Saturday, a very moving movie per- formance. The entertainment is intended for the children as they have heretofore had no particular sec- tion of The Tribune set aside for them. Grownupe,| of course, will refrain from turning to the pages where the latest adventures of our entertainers are set forth, In presenting this feature we do so because we be- lieve it to be the very best that can be obtained and that it will have the largest appeal. Had the Katzenjammer boys grown old in the years that they have beer furnishing amusement for the public they would be old men by nowpor at least too old to play pranks; but they ure not a day older than when they first broke into the funny! section and made it their business to dispel the blues and cheer up the American public. Maggie and the delightful henpecked Jiggs appeal, in an exaggerated sense, to a phase of life that is al- ways amusing and never tiresome. When you grow tired of the tragedy of life placed before you in the other pages turn to the comedy and relax the strain. It will be good for you, EME S CCT EESS SET ENGR MUST HAVE NEW OUTLET. The western grain and cattle sections of both United States and Canada have reached their high- est point of productivity under present transportation facilities, and there is no encouragement under pres- ent conditions and high freight rates to continue in these lines of endeavor, unless grain is to be left to rot in the fields and cattle are to be sold in the mar- ket at less than their cost of production. So well or- ganized are the markets in these two great food com- modities that it is largely a matter of accepting the price or leaving it, there is nowhere ‘else to send it. This is the recognized situation of the producing ter- zitory- of the two countries. Men of vision have pointed a way out to both de- creased freight rates and market, through the lakes fo ocean waterway. This is the next big undertaking and once establish- ed and international details agreed to the actual work of connecting up the Great Lakes with the Atlantic ocean by way of the St. Lawrence river would require but a few years’ time. A combined rail and water route would tap the great grain and cattle countries of western United States and the prairie provinces of Canada with Eu- rope as the market. The long, rail haul to the sea- board would be eliminated, likewise the congestion and all the trumped up fees and charges that eat so| heavily into profits or the final price under present arrangements. The project is likely to be bitterly fought by the interests of the eastern section of the country and the hope of the enterprise lies in the ability of the people west of Chicago to recognize the advantages accruing to them and to enforce their will upon those who do not approve. , EERE DER oe NO VACANCIES, Mr. Charles Hapsburg in his attempt to find a soft, comfortable throne to sit upon, discovered no spe- cial demand existing in Hungary for jobless kings. He is fortunate to be able to get back to Switzerland and more fortunate that the people of that republic will harbor him. Now, when William Hohenzollern takes it into his head to venture from his retreat in Holland with a similar design upon the throne of Germany, which he, is most certain to do sooner or later, it will be the exact time for the allied constable to serve the warrant for arrest, on the various criminal charges for which indictments have already been found by the people of Belgium, France and Great Britain. So long as these deposed emperors’ and kings re- main in their sanctuaries provided for them they. may live out their lives; but the instant they seek to again take part in the world’s affairs they should be brought before the bar and properly disposed of, in manner precluding their reappearance. The Hapsburgs and Hohenzollenrs have proven fail- ures. Their former subjects have finally repudiated| them. The world will be the gainer to see that they remain repudiated. eon ee A a FOR RELIEF OF SOLDIERS. The first months of the Harding administration will) witness the first practical steps that have been taken} toward relieving the disabled war veterans. The close of the Democratic administration found the most of} them housed in flimsy, wooden fire traps ix the: hos- pitals of the war department, or in dirty ill-éntilated| and utterly inadequate buildings leased o- otherwise} under the control of the Public Health Service. Tu- bereular patients and those suffering from psycho- pathic disorders have been among the worst suffer- ee istration. The President has had conferences wilh of- ficers of the American Legion as to the better co- ordination of the various Federal bureaus having to do with soldier relief; he has personally visited Wal- ter Reed hospital near Washington and talked with the men whom he seeks to benefit; and in other ways has shown his determination to leave nothing undone to care for the disabled veterans in the most efficient way that humen skill can devise and a grateful coun- try provide. 3 VODs DENS eine aE, CERTAINLY WE PAID. If it is of any interest to the French deputy who first raised the question, or to anyone else, to know that we are not indebted to France for funds ad- vauvced to us Im the day of our dire need, and that we paid promptly and fully is evidenced in the treas- ury and congressional records of’ the time and also of later records in printed form. On January 19, 1796, Oliver Wolcott, the secre- tary of the treasury, submitted to the Ho of Rep- resentatives “A statement showing the final liquida- tions of the French loans and their full reimburse- ment at the treasury,” etc. The debit items amount- ed to $2,602,096.49, the credit items to $2,602,096.49. 4 The last credit item is: “Payment to the said agent by treasury warrant No. 5182, dated 22 July, 1795, for sixteen dolars and four cents, being the balance due ican vf money and other --* States of the govern- ring the late war.” This item closes the account. The “said agent’’ was one “James Swan, Esqa., duly authorized by the Committee of Public Safety of the National Convention.” All this was published in 1832, under authority of congress, in American State Pa- pers, Vol VII, page 380. These state papers may be found, no doubt, in many public libraries. Previous statements had been made and reported to congress of our indebtedness to France by Secretaries Alexander Hamilton and Wolcott, showing all loans of money, claims for supplies, ete., and all partial p: ted to a committee of congress a complete statement of all our financial transactions with foreign coun- tries, and among them the Frerch debt, showing it \fully settled. All loans of money and claims for sup- plics are fully set forth, and all payzaents made, with interest. The total‘amounts, pro and con, are stated ‘0 be $9,176,796.53, @ Soins rainy day if Sccretary Mellon will detail a half dozen clerks théy will no doubt unearth the war- rants duly endorsed by James Swan and if so a spe- cial commission should be sent to Paris to exhibit them to the French chamber, which in turn should as- sess a fine of the drinks agpinst the deputy who said we omitted to pay our bills. 0 PERPETUATING THE HYPHEN. In his book on “Immigration and ‘the Francis Kellor says: “The mobilization by racial organizations of ra- cial resources in America has amazed the old world by its cohesiveness and by its wealth, its power and masterful efficiency. The immigrant is met at Elli Island by a racial missionary who speaks his language, and who, having the advantage of knowing his friends at home, at once establishes cordial relations. “The immigrant is then lodged in a hotel where the atmosphere reminds him of his natiye country. Thus the impressions which he receives concerning Amer- ica come to him first through old world memories and experiences. “He is next introduced to a padrone who secures work for him under a racial ‘boss: Then fhe immi- grant is taken to a racial colony, he is given a racial newspaper, and through these he is introduced to ra- cial merchants and bankers. \During all this time it rarely has been suggested to him that_much of his fu- ture success and happiness may depend upon his learn- ing the English language. “Thus, in close contact with his own people, he lives his life in America. Should he wish to return to Eu- rope, his racial bankers will arrange for his passage, and his countrymen will, in the language of his fore- fathers, bid him ‘God-speed.’ * “Should fate decree that he-should die in. America, a racial churchman .will officiate. at. his. funeral, his countrymen will attend the obsequies, a racial under- taker will see that he is decently buried, and his fam- ily, in time, will receive a check from a racial benefit society.” Future,” eS ey ee = Great Britain wil interpose no objections to such relief as Americans desire to furnish Ireland, for eco- nomical purposes. For political purposes we are warned to go slow. pi REEDS NCR | MISTAKES NOISE FOR OPINION. National Prohibition Commissioner Kramer view- ing the situation after almost two years of drought, |frankly states that the American public is opposed to prohibition and therein lies the greatest difficulty in enforcement. Lack of co-operation by the state | authorities, bootlegging and moonshining are the mi- nor stumbling blocks but hostile public opinion is the stone wall that must be surmounted if ultimate suc- cess is to be achieved. Is it possible that public opinion has faced about in such brief time or is it probable tnat tne peuple who forced state legislatures to ratify the Eighteenth amendment were insincere, and-that the voters who carried state after state into the dry column in the preceding elections were carried along by hysteria and were unaware of what they were doing? That they did a thing they did not intend doing? While people, in war times often do things out of so-called patriotic motives which in normal times would be against their judgment and which they would oppose with vigor, it is not believed by sane and thinking per- sons that the people of this country were carried off |their feet by any prohibition wave, propaganda of the Anti-Saloon League or any other force save the force of moral conscience. The psychology of the time was altogether favor- able, but the great bulk of the people had long wait- ed for just such a moment when it would require but a slight push to precipitate liquor and its train of |evils over the edge and into the bottomless chasm. The only power that can bring the curse’ back is the people themselves and it is preposterous to sug- gest that the people would deliberately favor restor- ing a calamity. Mr. Kramer is learning things slowly and painful- ly. That he did not know in the first. place that the American people can be led in the right direction at any:time; but cannot be driven in any direction at any time is unfortunate for him in the administra- tive work he has undertaken. It is quite natural to find resentment \at the cur- tdilment of liberties to a people just emerging from the strictness of wartime regulations, discipline and denials to which they had never been accustomed. At the bottom there is. nothing to a lot of the opposi- tion Mr. Kramer has encountered. The noise the liquor element has made is not public opinion’ as held by the great majority that does not express opinion in this manner. The worries of the situation have got on. Mr. Kramer's nerves and he does not see or think clearly, ments, |Finally, April 28, 1800, the secretary submit- 1 Gambling Has Disappeared | + (Glenrock Gazette) With the first of the month com- |ing on, the absence of slot machines |and all kinds of gambling devices (x quite noticeable.

The So)2i'r'2 Memorial (Lass ¢ Jvurnal) Mrs. L. C. larnsberger received word this wee« that a nine inch gun, weighing 4.209 sounds had been «hn~ ped from San Francisco to Lender this week, and would arrive in the course of three or four weeks, This gun will be used to help docorate the Soldiers Memorial to be erected in Lander by the Women’s Patriotic League, and it is through the efforts of its prefident, Mrs. lL. C./Harnsber- ger, that a town as small as Lander was able to get this gift from the war department. ‘The Soldiers Memorial will not only tbe a lasting monument to the boys of this county who sacrificed their lives in the recent war, but will oe a step in the right direction towards the ‘Lander Beautiful. To'Test Law (Lusk Herald) On Wednesday of next week Sen- ator J. G. Hartwell, and several oth- er lawyer members of the last legis- lative assembly, will meet in Chey- enne to start mandamus ‘proceedings to compel .the state treasurer to pay over the one third of the sum of oil royalties to the general school fund of the state, as provided by enactment of law. Attorney General Walls, has declared that in his opinion the law is unconstitutional, that the royalty money should be placed in the per- petual fund and the schools be only given the interest accruing year by year thereon. With the filing of the mandamus the issue will be joined be Casper Daily Cribune WITH OUR WYOMING EXCHANGES| and final decision will rest with the supreme court. Senator Hartwell Says that if success ig attained in se- curing distribution of the fund direct to the counties of the state it will mean that Niobrara county, as an ex- ample, will be awarded some $87,000 Qnnually, that is {f the royalty sum is maintained at the sum of thret million dollars as during the past two years. Last year through taxation the county raised soma $79,000, to support schools, and this means that the fnconfe from. oil ty sources ‘will more than intain the schoo!

Qingle Review) That the people of this territory are fighting shy of debt in every way ible, is indicated by the general in all business transactions. A comparatively small per cent are ever. asking credit for living necessi- tes; few are buying anything new that they can get along without and @ general leaning toward conserva- tism that is almost more than care- fulness is evidenced. From profligate spending a few months ='\¢: the people of this terri- tory =r¥ now letting go of their money with extreme caution, and as a re- sult are placing themselves in a po- sition that, after the crops are market- ed this fall, will see the most of them in very fair shape and ready to pro- ceed toward independence. That there is much more money in this territory than was supposed is indicated in the large number of cash settlements that were made at the farm sales that have been held the past two months. Many of the farm ers, according to the banks which handled the sale settlements have been able to pay for the stuff they bought and did so. The amount pf notes in most cases was no greater at mane of the gales then in the past. Wait 'Till June (Kemmerer Republican) Pessimists may groan and lament the latter-day tendency to divorce, and others talk of race suicide, but right here in Linloln county marriages and births have the lead by a very respectable majority. We have read, of boys and girls arriving in squads of threes and fours, and now comes the record of the county clerk’s office with a total of 1% marriage licenses issued in the gusty month of March. This being the case, what may be ex. pected when Juno, the rare and beau- tiful, the month of weddings, arrives? June vital statistics will be awaited with interest, if April and May hoid up to the March record. Tonnerville Train Service (Saratoga Sun) Train service has been interrupted the past couple of days, the locomo- tives on the local line having devel- oped asthmatic symptoms and other ailments which resulted:in avery late train on Tuesday, none at all on Wed- nesday, and re of delayed service if any today. Tt has been a matt f mueh speculation as’ to whether or not there is any connection between these, ocourences and the “widely- spread reports of discontinued service on April 1, It iy said, however, that the company is expecting to continue! train service for a time at least, and has by ht in a machinist to repair the pei hg while a crew o labor- ers is employed on the upper end of the road in making track and roadbed improvements.

The wells have been holding ‘up to expectations and there | appears to be no doubt but that the! two present wells will take care of the present demands of- the town with ease from the natural flow into the| basin prepared, and from which the | water will be pumped into the stand pipe. All the work that ts being done at the wells at this time, tu make pos- sible a thorough try-out over a period of several months, can be used in connection with permanent installa- tion at a later date, When you ops the faucet next week and discover that the water is exceptionally clear and has a more pleasant taste, you will know that it is artesian water you are provided with, the equal of which will not be enjoyed by any other town in the en- tire state.
