You still hear something of it although not so much as before this panacea was thoroughly analyzed. The Plumb planners do not propose to confiscate the railroads, as is done with industries and utilities under the Lenine regime, but it is proposed that the United States government bor- row money enough on its bonds to buy the railroads from their present owners and turn them over to the railroad employes to manage. It is not the property of the railroad companies they would confiscate but the property of those who would ultimately be called upon to pay the government bonds. We have -had sufficient demonstration of failure of government-operation in point of both economy and efficiency. ~Communistic operation or proletarian operation or whatever nickname the Plumb planners choose to call their irresponsible management, would be infinitely worse in both cost and quality of serv- ice. The properties would be operated at great cost to all the rest of the people of the ‘céuntry and would be ruined in value. The people would pay good money in the form of taxes for’property which they would later be compelled to rehabilitate, just” as i happening in Russia today with all industries. Communistic ownership of the railroads with gov- ernment responsibility for deficits would be follawed naturally by similar purchase and control and opera- tion of coal and iron mines, packing houses, steel mills, and every other sort of large undertaking, leav- ing only the agricultural producers as the bearers of the oolossal burden thus tied upon their backs. And the agricultural classes would refuse to bear the bur- den in Amerjca just as they have refused to bear it in Russia. ~ r Lenine has-been compelled to acknowledge his in- ability to make people produce when he refused to recognize the right of property. . The agitators who are seeking the adoption of Bolsheyik ideas in this eountry may well profit by the Lenine experience. It will save them time and money for the people of America will no more experiment along that line. The country went far enough during the past eight years to be able to forecast the result of a continuation. of similar trend. a MISSOURI'S PATRONAGE TROUBLES, There is rather a pretty factional fight in Missouri over the matter of Republican federal patronage. The outcome determines whether the Harding administra- tion will recognize the old or the new school of po- litical management in Missouri: ~ The old school is represented by Jacob Babler, national committeernan during the lean years of Democratic ascendency who undertook to deliver the state to Governor Lowden of Illinois in the presidential pre-convention campaign and became mixed up in the money scandal that be- came a state disgrate. Another representative of the old order is Mont Reily of the old Kansas City ma-|. chine, who happened to guess right as to Harding but who through the repudiation of the faction with which he worked cut no particular figure. Babler and Reily are trying to put over C, C. Madison for, fed- eral district attorney and incidentally to control fed- eral patronage to maintain their discredited machine. On the other side and opposed to Madison’s ap- pointment are Governor Hyde and the Republican state administration, Chairman Hughes and the’ Re- publican state organization, thirteen of the fourteen congressmen of the state and United States Senator. Spencer, and last but not least the army of Repub- lican voters of the state speaking through their chosen representatives. The forces of the new order have selected Senator Spencer as the official head of their cause and have instructed him to go to the mat with Babler and Reily. The clans of Missouri have gathered at Washing- ton and are fighting it out. Of course it is rather disagreeable to have the Missouri linen dragged over to Washington to be laundered, but apparently there is no other way. If these warring elements are expecting the president to enter into the scrap one way or another they are fooled. He will doubtless lay down a principle that guides not only in Missouri but in every other state. He believes in party management and party respon- sibility. If the factions cannot and will not compose affairs, then the president will and with the situation as it now stands Babler end Reily will not be in command. ' ke a Ed at) NOT ALL RAISING HELL. In the old days, all were expected to attend church once a week, says Ed Howe’s Monthly, and hear about hell. In those modern days, we get two or three morning papers every day, and two or three even- ing papers, and all of them raise hell about somc- thing. The hell story was greatly exaggerated when we heard about it once a week, by word or mouth, It is greatly exaggerated now that we hear about it a dozen times a day, in print. In these modern times everybody seems anxious to become a hell raiser, either as a prencher, politician, writer, propagandist, or social welfare worker. And the fact remains that hell is largely a myth of our own creation. This is a pretty good world. ‘There is no hell, except as’ we look for it and insist upon burning oureslves unneces- sarily. I have raised most of the hell from which I have suffered. If I shouldgguit this writing, and go out-on* the streets, certainly ninety of the first hun- dred people encountered would be fairly polite, help- ful and honest. I have vot met a thief in yeurs; no one has robbed me in a jong time. On the contrary, every day I meet polite ple who'do me favors. The great bulk of the people re admirable, considering their natural handicaps. Why. do we so viciously abuse ourselves? We don’t mean half of it. ee eemeedaitinecnoninarnpoet THE PRESIDENT’S TACT. “Whatever else may be said gf President Harding’s method of toying with the Marton muddle,” says the Public Ledger, “it cannot be denied that his initial effort is flattering to his tact. “Neither from Britain, frem France nor from Japan are serious evidences of ifritation over his message reported. Germany distinguishes a ray of hope in the peace resolution feature, notwithstanding the fact that prospects of a separate treaty are fading, France, in a sympahetic note, reveals an understanding of our claims regarding Yap: ‘The United States can afford to cultivate these asmicable sentiments. “If the whole tresty case is to be reopened in a new conclave, a basis of good understanding and con- fidence is indispensable to treatment of a situation obviously of the utmost delicacy. It is not merely >| relations with our former allies which must be ad- justed, but the most intricate problems involving our late foes. “Truculence or attempted strong-arm tactics would be fatal to sucreas, ¥, Harding’s contribution to international good will is by all odds the most hope- ful concomitant of a policy whose outlines are still disappointingly vague, “The hour is one for patience, with the reflection that if vigorous, definite, constructive work is hardly Light, no new forces of destruction have been loosed.” . PRcatn edie INTERNATIONAL MEDDLERS. Of course it is all rather exasperating to have our populace continually churned up by the agitations and bintnerakitiee of foreign pests, says the Milwaukee inel. seems not, but Jest we forget, America has been frou. time to time exporting some internationalists of its own who have specialized in telling other coun- tries how to manage their own affairs and settle their own rows, There for example was Mr. Pussyfoot Johnson who made such a nuisance of himself in Great Britain. And now also comes William J. Bryan who demands a protest against the sale of liquor in the British Ba- hamas and in all seriousness says the continuance of such gale should be regarded by this nation as ap “un- friendly act.’”” Should he succeed in compelling the Bahamas to go bone dry because of our. Highteenth amendment, Mr. Bryan no doubt will proceed against the wet sections of the Dominion of Canada, not to mention Cuba and Mexico. In fine, we have bred so many international meddlers of our own in other na- tions’ business that it makes our position a little pre- carious when we rage against these foreign meddlings in our business. eee rete eee AT LAST—A* MEXICAN POLICY. The country may expect in ‘ery brief time a de- fined policy by the United-States.with reference to Mexico, and then the country may expect.to see both countries live up to its terms, a condition unknown in the past ten years. If Mexico expects recognition and cordial business relations she will have to declare a policy of safety for American citizens and property. Such an avowal on the part of Mexico is a pre-re- .quisite to our acknowledgement of her official regime. It is not a trade of recognition for safety. It is a ‘declaration of good intentions and good conduct for the future from a neighbor that has finally re-estab- lished control of domestic affairs after a long and distressing civil war. , Secretary Hughes will permit no loose ends in in- ternational affairs under his directon. ._—— ONE OF THE DIFFERENCES. . Josh Billings once gaid, ‘When a man aint got any- thing to say its a blamed good time to keep still.” It applies to Mr. Wilson, former president of the United States, with considerable force. With all the furore caused by the Lensing book, the enlighten- ment coming from the other side of the» Atlantic coupled with a desire to treat the League of Nations as roughly as America did, the gradual. disintegra- tion of the league itself, all of these “and other things occurring and not a word, not evén’a whisper from the man who bartered everything in his attempt to fasten it upon the United States.. Mr. Bryan never failed in some sort of a comeback when any- of his paramount issues were blown up. ‘He: simply con- signed his heart to the grave and kept on fighting: Wilson suffers a little heart break and bogs down and quits. There is a difference in great men. ee VICTORY FOR EVERYBODY. It is well that all interests are satisfied, and re- gard the decision of the federal railroad labor board abrogating national agreements, as victory for their particular contentions. The order is effective July 1. The roads and the employes are now to formu- late new working agreements as to conditions and pay under the changed conditions of affairs follow- ing the let down of war pressure. The main hearings have been had before the fed- eral board and it remains for the executives and the brotherhoods to come into agreement on new terms. The quicker it is accomplished the quicker one prin- cipal feature of industrial life is restored to normal. Seb ke A REAL NOBLEWOMAN. There has just been consigned to earth at Pots- dam the mortal remains of a women whose character the world can well'afford to pause and admire. Au- gusta Victoria, the faithful and loyal wife of the former kaiser. The mother of his seven children, the model housewife, the maker of the domestic peace and happiness for that large family. She accepted the place prescribed for her in the church, the nurs- ery, the school and the home, and performed her du- ties well. The bitter enmities aroused by the Hohen- zollerns throughout the world were never directed against Augusta Victoria. She was faithful to the end and uncomplainingly died of a broken heart.

An {portant accomplishnient «of the reclamation service is the comple- tion of the third unit of the Frannie division of the project, preparing an additional 5,000 acres for opening to ‘wettlement, The canals have been completed, but. some puddling of structures is yet to be done. As soon as a crossing for ¢he water under jhe C. B. & Q. ratiread tracks is fin- ished, y,oter can be turned into the system. The third Frannie unit comprises land lying to the south of the town of Frannie. Its opening for settle- ment this fall will add sowie valuable acreage to the lands under cultiva- tion near that town. Of the 5,000 seres, 500 acres are Northern Pacific ailroad lands and the remaining 4,500 acres are government homestead lands. lt is planned to have the railroad company hold a sale of this acreage of theirs at about the same time of, he government opening. There yet remains 10,000 acres of irrigable land in the Frannie division that will be reclaimed within the scope of the project eventually, but net for a few years, as the lands now und. t irrigation there take about al! the water that the Corbett tunnel can take care of with its present capacity. Tt seems ilkely that the Willwood and Hart Mountain divisions of the project are to be brought in befor2 any more Frannie lands are to bo reclairaut Up to date approximately 22,000 ‘neres have brought undor the canal system b; servico about Deaver and Frannie. —— All the Comforts of Home. (Lander Journal.) Sheriftt W. S. Burch, aided by the inmates of the county jail, has worked wonders with the inside of the struc: ture. The old wooden floor that has harbored millions of bedbugs and cockroaches has been taken up and & new. cement floor laid throughout. Disinfectants were burned freely and then the entire inside is being painted. When this work .is completed, the Fremont county jail will be the clean- est and most sanitary in the entire west. There is a bath in the corridor and each cell has been fitted up with a sanitary steel couch. The bedding is new and the meals are served by Mrs. Burch from her own table. Paving at Kemmerer. (Kemmerer Republican.) City council met in- adjourned ses- sion Tuesday evening to héar remon- strances to resolutions of intention to create an assessment district No. 1, that was passed by. coucil recently. There were no objecions filed. City Efgineer Robinson reported to coun- cil at length on the proposed im- provement, as to cost, etc. His fig- ures, which he claimed were high [WITH OUR WYOMING E the reclamation |#2Y enough: to cover every single phase ‘of the project, show that the cost will be under $6,000 a city block, or $43,000 for the ‘entire’ district, everything complete, The cost will range from 37,90 to $8.88 per running foot for each property owner. It was pointed out that this was the maximum price; that if the contract- or could be assure(| of prompt pay: ment in cash, bids considerably un- der this price might be expected. Aisa this includes the removal of dirt, inder auspices of the city, another saving will be offected, Shipping In Cattle. A shipment of 500 head of cattle, due in Upton this week, is being made by Frank from Douglas, Ariz. Mr. Douglas owns extensive interests in Arizona as well as near Upton, and this large shipment. of cattle marks the move, since the severe winter of 1919-1020, to replen- ish the ranches near Wyoming, with stock. Has»Peculiar Mania. (Sheridan Enterprise.) Commissioner D. C. Wenzell presided in the absence of Judge James H. Bur- ‘Bess, With the verdict of the jury came a committal to the hospital in Evan- ston for the relief and care of the in- sane, and the opinion was expressed in the court by persons appearing as witnesses 1» the hearing that the treatment provided in the hospital would benefit Mr. Findahl greatly, and that he probably would be able. to return to his home within a period of several months. Action against Mr. Findahl was taken, it is explained, because of his seemingly mania for appropriating water from irrigation ditches in which he has no interest. These illegal ac- tivities have kept him before the court for many months, and judgments won against him by complainants; was fast absorbing his property, and it was considered best by the state estate by giving that ft is believed will bring a retief from his eccentricities that have caused him so much trouble. —_—_a Question Box : (Any reader can get the answer to any question by writing The Casper Daily Tribune information bureau, Frederic J.
