Governor Carey is to be commended for the ex- cellent selection he has made to fill the associate jus- ticeship on the supreme bench of Wyoming made va- cant by the death of Judge Charles E. Blydenburg. He could have searched long and earnestly and not found the superior of Hon. Frederick H. Blume. There is no qualification or requirement to sit as a justice in this high court that is not possessed by Mr. Blume. He is a profound student, of broad learning, thor- oughly grounded in the law, familiar with its prac- tice and of more than ordinary experience for a man of his age. For many years his opinion has not only been sought by clients, but members of the profes- sion in questions upon important litigation have ac- cepted and learned to value his judgment and clear reasoning. Justice Blume will add strength and character to the court; and the matters and things that come to him will have all of the advantages of wisdom, hon- esty and fearlessness in the judgments he will render. — ARE WE KEEPING FAITH? If the Harding administration 1s to-be an adminis- tration guided by the constitution of the United States, as pledged in platform and proclaimed in all of the important utterances by Mr. Harding as the candi- date and as the president, then every day that the “ruling” or the “opinion” laid down by Former At- torney General Palmer respecting the use of wine and beer for medical purposes, for the guidance of the treasury department and the department of jus- tice, just so long is the Harding administration fail- ing to keep faith with the people. The constitution could not be clearer when it says that congress passes the laws, the courts interpret them and the executives enforce them. The people through the prescribed constitutional re- quirements adopted the eighteenth amendment abol- ishing the manufacture, sale, importation and exporta- tion of intoxicating liquor, for beverage purposes. This prohibition is written into the constitution itself by the highest power in the land—the people. The Volstead act, a law passed by the congress, which body is the'only body to which the people have delegated the power to make law, has defined in- toxicating liquor. This act is designed to enforce or make effective the Eighteenth amendment. It de- clares that any beverage containing more than one per cent of alcohol is an intoxicating beverage. Un- til congress takes action amending or changing that act it is the law of the land and the execution depart- ments having jurisdiction, more especially the depart- ments of justice and the treasury,:are charged with a enforcement. The court of last resort has de- clared this law of the congress to conform to the con- stitution. Then by what right or authority has the former at- torney general to set aside the laws and the consti- tution and set up regulations for the manufacture, use and distribution of beverages declared to be intoxicat- ing? And knowing this to be the status why does the present attorney general suffer these things to go forward? The constitution is being violated and the laws nul- lified. How much longer will these things be per- mitted? The responsibility is upon the Republican admin- istration. It must come clean. If the congress has evidence of change of senti- ment on the part of the people with reference to the use of intoxicants for Mate bo Ee joses then let it be brave enough to act. Repeal the Volstead law and abolish the Eighteenth amendment by constitutional process, and turn the stuff loose. Don’t play horse. The one situation would be no worse than the other.’ No more intolerable. If the fundamental law as amended, and statutory laws as made by congress are to be set aside by of- ficers without authority, or permitted to fall into desuetude, where is the use of keeping up the pre- tense of governing the country by the constitution? A THEY WANT PROTECTION. When there comes into existence an organization having for jts name, the Southern Tariff association, composed of business men from the southern states known as the Democratic solid south and traditionally opposed to protective tariff ideas; and when this as- sociation applies to a Republican congress for the passags of a law to protect their industries against foreign compvtition, it is time to dream about the disintegration of this same Democratic solid south. This is the exact situation today. And the appeal of these southern citizens should be answered promptly. aS aes THE NEWEST INSURANCE RISK. The interest beitlg taken by private risk companies in the writing of strike insurance has caused perturba- tion on the part of some of the chief officers of or- Cina labor. For instance, there is Matthew Woll, r. Gompers’ chief aid, issuing threats that if there is not legislation to stwp this practice labor will with- draw its patronage from private companies and urge the state to assume coutrol of insurance. Mr. Woll declares that strike insurance will encour- age strikes. “When an employer is insured against strikes he certainly will not be inclined to go far in making concessions to his employes, however just their demands may be. It would bo to the interest of + ' companies selling strike insurance to foment labor troubles in order to stampede employers into taking out strike insurance.” Strike insurance is comparatively a new venture in the field of risk consequently there is little data upon which a judgment of its effect can be based, but there appears to be little ground for Mr. Woll’s apprehen- sion, An employer would have no more desire for strikes in his industry if he were insured than he would like to see his factory burn down if he car- ried fire insurance, nor does a man seek death mere- ly because his life is insured. The real effect of. strike insurance is to intreduce a new element into the industrial world that seeks to promote friendly relations between employer and employe. Precisely the same juence is at work in the fire insurance and life insurance fields. Fire insurance companies are constantly doing everything in their power to reduce fire risks. They encourage the in- stallation of efficignt fire protection devices, auto- matic alarms, sprinkler systems, etc., and maintain salvage corps whose business it is to rush to the scene of a fire and protect property from the effects of James J. O'Marr, former mayor of sheridan, Louis J.

The whole history of insurance, no matter what form it may be, has been one of prevention of the thing against which the insurance is directed. Of course the prime purpose of taking out any form of insurance is to provide compensation in case of loss, but the holder of the policy knows also that the prob- ‘y-ty of loss has been diminished by the encourage- ment he has given to the insurance business. All in- surance statistics prov” that his judgment in that re- spect is sound. Is it not pretty clos: 40 truth to say that Mr. Gomp- ers and Mr. Woll a.:2 the others do not want to see the end,of strikes, hence they oppose every influence that tends to avoid them? Should labor disputes cease, the reason for these labor autocrats would also cease. HAVE AMERICAN MANNERS IMPROVED? The question is: Are American habits and manners improving as we go along, or #:¢ they growing coarser and less regardful of wa’, will always be the niceties of life? We have, of wurse, long outgrown the age of elaborate chival:y behind which it was possible to conceal the shrrtcomings of that particu- lar age and we have coms to a more rapidly moving more materialistic age. be 4s it a mark of decadence that gentlemen appear at dancing parties in this day in a state of intoxica- tion and that society continues to invite these offend- ers; and is it a further lapse of good breeding to smoke in the company of ladies upon the public streets and in the public places? Faithful accounts of former periods speak of in- stances of intoxication at sacial functions in the best circles and the old New Year's day custom of serv- ing wine to New Year’s callers certainly encouraged inebriation if the visiting list were of any length. Then, too, opinion may have undergone some change since the day violations of the drinking and smoking code were frowned upon. And there is the matter of assisting the ladies into and out of the old-fashioned high-seated b: which was a privilege no man dreamed of overlooking. The modern automobile with its convenience of embark- ing and debarking presents no such opportunities for courteous attention as did the old-fashioned buggy and we find the ladies neither expecting nor desir- ing it. Table manners speak for themselves. We are sure there has been improvement and advancement over the past. These are but a limited number of ‘the things in everyday life that indicate our manners, there are countless others that need not be mentioned. Is there anyone who will say, taking the broad aver- age of national life, all ranks and groups of Amer- ican people, that our manners are not better than in the day when we were more or less a pioneer people with the ignorance and lack of culture that went with that period. Unquestionably we have grown in refinement as we have grown in years and material things. it CYCLES IN SKIRTS. Everybody, with sufficient mentality to form an opinion with reference to women’s dress skirts, has expressed it, of late years, and as a result we have had a wealth of views. This goes not only for the figurative judgment of them out for. the literal skirt— all there was of it. The ordinary layman knows but little about skirts. He could from time to time com- prehend that there was a disposition to vanish, on the part of the skirt, that at first seemed attractive to him but as his eyesight gradually failed he lost in- terest. He never knew and possibly never will know the scientific reasons or the common rules that gov- ern the material, the length, the cut, the style and the adornment of skirts, and to save him from dying in ignorance, we are slipping him what the Dry Goods Economist expert says on the subject: “Skirts are obviously conforming to the laws of na- ture or the superstition of the race and are now com- pleting the seventh turn of the cycle. It is demon- strated once more that history repeats itself every Seven years. “Turn back the pages of fashion’s notebook to 1916 and witness the silhouette. Skirts measured from three to five yards at the hem and hung from fitted yokes. They also cleared the floor a good eight inches. “The 1921 skirt bears all the ear-marks of the 1916 style, except that it has not reached the shoe-tops, neither is it confined to sloping hips. The first fea- ture is a possibility, but the latter will never be again so long as women know their own minds. tasted the joy of freedom, the hour-glass silhouette stands little chance of dominating the natural carves of the body. “Another advantage the modern skirt has over its competitor of seven years ago is the development of individuality, which makes the field wide from which to draw inspirations. Pleated, plain, straight and cir- cular lines are all featured today, with little prefer- ence shown any particular style.” SaaS SE, Sa a EVERYBODY MAKES HIS OWN. It was but a few years since that the science of brewing was taught in a special college and no brew- master thought his education complete without a post- graduate course in the big breweries of Germany. Now however the country is filled with amateurs, many are being pointed out as self-made brewers, and demand is being made to add the art of brewing to the domestic science department of the public schools, (UES UTS fe WANTS IT CROOKPROOF.

All right John Skelton, the Republican con- gress will correct the errors made by the Democratic congress and make it so. fire and water.

In the lower valley there were only about half as many re-actors as in the upper valley. That is the per cent was only a little moro than half as high. The tests of the Valley have shown a rather startling condition as we were so sure that we were free from the disease. It would seem that we are just as bad as some of the older parts of the country. No part of the country is free from the disease and it can be kept down only by the most rigid inspection. Now that we have had a good general clean-up it will be easy to eliminate the disease from the cattle if everyone supports the move. living in the nelghborhood of Sev- enth street and Garfield avenue yes- terday, Claire was delivering coal to a party in that’ neighborhood and cut across the neighbor's new grass plot.

(Laramie Republican) The republican county central com- mittee held a meeting Saturday night and agreed to recommend Will Watt to President Harding for appoint- ment as postmaster at Laramie, to sucesd Guy U. Shoemaker, whose commission will expire in May. Mr. Watt's name will be sent to Congress- man Mondell and Senator Warren, who will urge that he be named by the president, or that the appointment can be made and confirmed between now and the time the commission of the present postmaster expires. Mr. Watt is one of the best known young men in the city. He has had a good deal of experience in the postoffice, having been a carrier and clerk, and at present is holding a position of trust with the First National bank. His appointment will give general satisfaction to the patrons of the of- fice and the people of the city and county gener#ii Greek Citizens Organize. (Sheridan Post.) At a meeting of fifty of the local Greeks Sunday afternoon over the Pallas Candy company, $640 was col- lected for the purpose of subscribing to the Greek Red Cross fund, to aid them in their work during the present Greek and Turkish war. An association was also formed and K. Ligeros elected secretary, for the purpoe of aiding all unnaturalized Greeks in: this district to become nat- uralized, and for the further purpose of encouraging all those who have not done so, to take out their first papers immediately. The association proposes to solicit aid from all persons for the purpose of carrying on the work of the Red Cross in Greece, and for this purpose, K. Ligeros was chosen to recelve do- nations. not_ happened except in isolated cases. ‘Of course there are places where there will be no wheat, but the greater amount of the acreage in our neigh- Nature’s resources to his uses.
