Wyoming Democratic newspapers are bewailing the fact that S. G. Hopkins, a Democrat from Wyoming, has been separated from his job as assistant secre tary of the interior. These journals seem to fear that the public land business, development of oil and irrigation within this state will all go to pot because of the absence of Mr. Hopkins. This would be unfortunate, if true. But it is not true. It will make not the slightest difference, so far as the business of the department is concerned, wheth- er Mr. Hopkins is a part of the working force or not, and it is absurd to assert that it will. Mr. Hopkins is simply a Democrat holding office on borrowed time. When he assumed office he sup- planted a Republican fully as competent as himself and for the sole reason that his predecessor was a Republican. The gentleman who succeeds Mr. Hop- Kins will be fully as competent as our Democratic Whends claim he has been. And frankness compels us to say that the reason for the change is because Mr. Hopkins is a Democrat. Now where is the use of shedding any tears over Mr. Hopkins’ retirement. A very minor matter is be- ing exaggerated out of all proportion to its im- portance. ee a teed ae Se MUTUAL CONCESSIONS. It is little use for corporations, unions or individ uals to attempt to obstruct the operation of natura? laws. It is not only useless, it is senseless. Any or- fanied resistance to wage reduction from rates made necessary by war inflation to a peace time normal governed by peace demands and conditions is bound to fail in tho end. We heat all too frequently of this organization or that one preparing to fight to maintain present scales. This is not only profiteering but it is an unpatriotic act. There is bound to be an industrial readjustment, and it should come about by mutual concessions on the part all concerned. The common welfars is above the selfish interest of any particular group. The day of real prosperity will be postponed just as long as those concerned in the active life of the nation are unwilling to accept the inconveniences that will place affairs upon a permanent basis and be gov- erned by existing conditions and limitations, ——__—_-o THEY KNOW NOW. If there has been any question on the other side, any hope, that the United States would finally join the League of Nations, all doubts and misapprehensions have been cleared away by Ambassador Harvey's Plain speech. Europe can be guided in future by what she has now positively learned to be our position and desires of our people. Colonel Harvey correctly interpreted American sen- timent when he said: “There still seems to linger in the minds of many the impression that in some way or other, by hook of crook, unwittingly—surely unwillingly—America may yet be beguiled into the League of Nations. “To show how utterly absurd such a notion is, the seven million majority at the polls expressed the peoples’ mandate that could neither be misunder- stood nor disregarded. “It follows, then, that the present government could not, without betrayal of its creators and masters, and will not, I can assure you, ‘have another thing what- Soever to do with the league or any commission or committee appointed by it or responsible to it, di- rectly or indirectly, openly or furtively.” ——__. READJUSTMENT OF WAGES. There is no occasion for surprise in the announce- ment of the railway labor board that on, July 1 it will revise the wages of more than a million employes of the unskilled class, the figures to be made public on June 1. ._ Those following the Chicago and Washington hear- ings could see no other course than deflation. Wages have represented a proportion of railway operating costs out of all reason under the decline of living costs. It is a mere matter of time until the board will re- duce wages of all classes of railway employment. In fact hearings will be resumed on June 6, on proposals of reduction for the various other employments. What cuts will be made the board does not state. The last advance, which became effective July 20, 1920, was 21 per cent. This may be the approximate reduction. An excellent test of the efficienc tation act will be afforded. appeal of the employes for increase to meet the costs of living. We shall now observe how it works when conditions have changed and it is sought to cut wages in proportion to the decline in living costs. The sin- cerity of the workers will be disclosed in their accept- ance of the decisions of the same tribunal in reduc- tions as they did in increases. Should they recognize the arbitration features and by acquiescence estab- lish the principle the future of railway employment would be upon much safer footing for both the men and the roads. It is very certain that railroad operation cannot con- tinue in its present statu: y of the transpor- It worked splendidly on —_o—____-___ THE NATURAL CONSEQUENCES. __ The report that there are eight million typhi in’ Russia,” observes the Philadelphia Inquirer, “re- veals startlingly the intolerable conditions of life un- Make it your duty to| | school, and consequently has excellent opportunities der Bolshrvist rule. Typhus is a disease due primar- fly to filth. It can never prevail where the laws of sanitation are properly observed. That it should be sweeping wholesale over Russia is an unanswerable indictment of the regime which has undone at stroke the work of centuries of progress. “Russia was never as advanced in sanitation as most of the other nations of Europe. But in the general breakdown of law and order, regulations designed to protect the health of the community were naturally the first to go. Indeed, when the environment of the individual becomes anarchic it is practically impossible to enforce them. “Only the enthusiasts incapable of sober reflection ever believed that the Bolshevist theory could lead to anything less than a relapse into barbarism.” pers Che at abs Se a ARE THEY UNCIVILIZED? “Women, according to Prof. Hamilton P. Cady of the University of Kansas,” says the New York Her- ald, “are far less civilized than they were in the so- called barbaric ages. Then men painted themselves and women didn’t; as time went on men ‘came to real- ize the futility of such deception,’ and painting the body was abandoned by them, but women have brought the rrt te = populosity it never had with men. “If Professor Cady is correctly quoted, it follows that in his opinion men have advanced in civilization while women have been slipping back. This is alarm- ing if true. Men have justgiven equal political rights to women here, in England, and in many other coun- tries. If it turns out that women are retrograding, the males have blindly invited the destruction of every- thing humanity has won through the ages. “We may be permitted to hope Professor Cady is anduly agitated. He is a chemist in a coeducational for observation. Yet his conclusions should be checked up before they are finally accepted. Fortunately, we may be able to compare them with the outcome of the studies of our young women now being made by an- other chemist. 3 “The colleague of Professor Cady whom we have in mind may be known to him by reputation. We refer to Mme. Curie.” eaetaamaeaeal PRETENSE AND INCONSISTENCY. The New York World, a free trade Democratic or- gan, has taken the American congress io task for the temerity of proposing an emergency tariff measure for the protection of American agriculture. You al- ways expect inconsistency and pretense of friendship for industry in a Democratic party organ and in the World. there is no disappointment in its latest ex- pression, I ly a chief exportable commodity of Canada, or Argentina or Brazil or Chile or any other country in this hemisphere at which the bill does not aim crushing blows. It does this in the name of pro- tection to the farmers of the United States. Bui for the most part it is a pretense and a fraud in that fespect.” Simply contradiction. If the emergency tariff bill contains tariff duties large enough to act as a crush- ing blow to the agricultural interests of Canada, Ar- gentina, Brazil and other countries, then those du- ties must be such as to keep out of this market im- mense quantities of goods which would otherwise be! shipped into the United States. Unless the tariff act has the effect of keeping out large quantities of goods it could not act as a erushitlg blow at those industries. If those other nations of the western hemisphere are expecting to dump immense quantities of agri- cultural products into the United States, thos¢ prod- ucts. would constitute injurious competition with the American farmer, To admit those products to the American market would deprive the American pro- ducer of a corresponding portioh of the domestic market. The emergency tariff Inw would, therefore, give needed protection to the farmers of the United States and would not be a pretetise or a fraud. In one respect or the other the World is bound to be wrong. Either the other countries of the western hemisphere are not contemplating exporting to the United States goods on which the ‘emergency tariff law places a high duty, or they are threatening to injure the American market. If they are expecting to ship us immense quantities of goods, then the American producer néeds protection. If they are not expecting to ship their products here, then they will not be injured by the emergency tariff law. Both theories advanced by the World cannot be true. The emergency tariff law will either not hurt our com- mercial rivals or it will protect the farmers of the United States, Fs ‘It is not necessary to consider, alone, agricultural competitors in this hemisphere. We learn from Tokio that officials of the social bureau of that city dis-! guised as laborers spent twenty-four hours among Japanese laborers in order to get first hand knowledge of living conditions. They found that a commion la- borer received 60 cents for a day of 10% hours. That was city labor, and farm labor works for a far less sum per day and for a longer period of time. It is with that sort of labor, in part, not only in Japan but in China, that the American farmer competes. The southern grower of peanuts competes with the peanut grower of China; the cotton growers who produce cot- ton seed oil as a by-product, are competing with the soy bean oil producers of the Orient; the rice pro- ducers of California are competing with the rice pro- ducers of Asia; manufacturers of jous commodities in the United States are competing with the cheap la- bor of Japan and China. It is against these commer- cial competitors as well as against the agricultural producers of Canada and Argentina and Brazil that the Republicans propose to protect the American | farmer. t ——— STATES MUST PERFORM DUTY. President Harding’s refusal to be hurried into send- ing federal aah into West Virginia is to be commend- ed in the view of the New York Times. He courteously informs the governor that he stands ready to do his constitutional duty, but that the occasion for it has not yet arisen. The state must first exert and exhaust its full power to preserve grder. The primary obliga- tion lies upon the local authorities. Only when they and the militia forces of the state have to confess themselvés unequal to the task ought the national gov- ernment to be called upon. A loose tendency has been growing to appeal too quickly to Washington to do police work properly be- longing to the states. It seems easier to invoke fed- eral power, and soldiers of the regular army often ap- pear to overawe rioters more quickly than can mi-+ litiamen. But the fact remains that it is a confessed failure of state government not to be able to main- tain law and order. It ought to be felt as a Teprquch and disgrace by its citizens. Only in the last resort should the president be asked to do what the governor has sworn to do himself. —————_—_o—______- _ WILL WILLIAM RETURN? William D. Haywood, wires from Moscow that as soon as he gets through attending a number of Bol- shevik conventions he has scheduled, he will return to the United States, he hopes in time to save his bondsmen from paying the forfeit on behalf of his appearance in court. Nobody takes much stock in William’s retarn and many folks are of the opinion that it might be a good idea for him to end his days among his Bolshevik friends than with his associates at Leavenworth.. If Bill can stand it over there, we think we can get along over here very comfortably without him. It is no more than fair to donate a few undesirables to Europe for the many Europe hands us.

The ew goale averages about $10 & month lower for common labor than the scale in use last Year, while the daily labor scalo is about $1.00 lower than that of 1920. laborérs, $35 a Bawiing Them Out, (Buffalo Bulletin.) In view of the fact that local com- mercial interests are in the lead aud Buffalo men are , wheel horses and must carry the whole load, some are asking this question—“Why is the Johnson County Commercial club?” It is true that many appeals have heen made to the strong county men who should be intérested and should join and in every way ed-operate to the best of their ability and he'p in the achievement of community build- ing we are allconcerned for, but some- they will not or they do nut.
