" aa WILL AWAIT COURT'S ACTION. The city council has acted wisely in passing a reso- lution nullifying the city election called for June 7 to submit to the electors a proposition for the adoption of the city manager form of government under the statute passed by the recent legislature. In the man damus proceedings at Sheridan to compel the city commissioners to call an election for the same pur- pose, Judge Burgess rendered an opinion that a city manager within the meaning of the law is a city of- ficial; and that the constitution requires a city offi cial to be a qualified citizen of the state and munici- pality; and since the city manager statute provides that city manager need not be a resident of the municipality he serves, this provision is unconstitu- tional. : The Sheridan court did not render judgment in the ease before him but on agreement of the parties cer- tified the proceedings to the supreme court for final decision. Since Casper and Sheridan are in the same situa tion, both seeking adoption of the manager form of government, it would be folly to proceed without th judgment of the supreme court. It is hardly likely that the court ~ill hand down opinion in time for a special election in June. CASAS ae STILLMAN CRIES QUITS. When James Stillman came into court charging his wife with infidelity and asking divorce from her, he overlooked the formality of being blameless himself. ‘The courts call it “coming into court with clean hands.” This condition New York courts require of a plaintiff in divorce proceedings. > Stillman sought to crush his wife by the degrading and immoral charges he made against her; and to add to her further disgrace the secrecy of the proceedings was violated in a campaign of publicity the like of which is unknown in such cases before. He not only compelled her to fight for her own honor but the legitmacy of her child. How desperately shs fought and how she turned the weapon of publicity against him and forced him from the presidency of the world’s greatest bank, made a nervous wreck of him, made him ery quits, call off his divorce proceedings, thereby acknowledging his fatherhood of the child he would disown, proved him an adulterer common and noto- rious, placed him in such shamed position that he scar¢ely ventures in public and desires only to flee to Europe and get away from it all, is now written in the final chapter of the famous scandal. Hell had nothing on Fifi Stillman in a matter of fury when her scoundrelly husband scorned her. And if there is anyone who will not rejoice at her com- plete triumph he is not much of a person. ———_—--o A MOONSHINING PROFESSOR. Louis Agassiz Shaw, the Harvard professor #nd member of Boston’s Back Bay social set, who was-ar- rested for violation of the Volstead act and in whose home was found an elaborate stlil, has been discharged by the federal authorities, but he will not get his still back, the commissioner ruling it to be contra- band. In the hearing the commissioner based his discharge of the prisoner upon the fact that the search warrant obtained in the case was illegal and value- less and the evidence secured, in the form of various bottles of moonshine, on the strength of the warrant was of no use because of its illegality. In fact it was tainted evidence. It was under the fourth and fifth amendments to the federal constitution, relating to search and seizure} that the loophole w: found whereby the professor was freed of the charge against him, although the world is aware that he possessed a still and made moonshine after the same manner of thousands of other but humbler brethren to be used for the same purpose. It seems at times that the question as to whether the United States is bone dry t to be determined. Abou: all there is to the Shaw case is the publicity Harvard received and the knowledge that if some wealthy philanthropist desires to establish a chair of home brew, the qualified occupant is right at hand and ready to go to work. an ——___—_o—______ TRANSPORTING EXPLOSIVES. The recent explosion of a truck lead of nitro-gly-| cerin at Bonneville calls very forcible attention to| state, county and municipal authorities of the ex- treme danger in t ing and transportation of high explosives. While there are regulations govern- ing these matters there should be add nal ones. It was only by the rarest good fortune that the explosion| occurred where it did, since it had to occur at all. A hundred yards difference in the progress of the truck would have added many more to the list of killed and injured. The explosion could very easily have taken place on the streets of Casper an from the toll of human life a million do! damage could have resulted. It is but a few years since that an identical calam- ity occurred in the Big Horn basin country; and it was but a few days subsequent to the Bonneville ac-| cident that another nitroglycerin explosion took place near Worland. r Such disasters are all too frequent. Every precau- tion and safeguard should be thrown around the trans-| Portation and handling of this treacherous explosive, | and the public should have warning of the character| of the load by reqriring trucks used for the purpose} aa] Warning signs: displayed. | everybody and everything and in addition, to be painted red or some other distinctive color and Even if men must expose themselves to great risks in transporting explosives, there is no need of sub- jecting the general public to greater risk than can possibly be avoided. h THE SENATE ISHMAELITE. If President Harding were not so honorable a gen- tleman and above such tactics we might be forced to the belief that he had employed Senator LaFollette to open fire on him upon the theory that a. LaFollette knock is very valuable in comparison with a boost from almost anyone else in public life. No one takes LaFollette seriously any more and everybody has grown to regard him as opposed to a common scold. If he ever got anywhere with any of his stuff it could be better understood why he continued, but since he does not, the wonder is how he keeps up the courage to kid himself. ar Rare ke THEY NEED BASEBALL. “The French army having adopted a new system of physical training for recruits,” says the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph, “which includes running, climb- ing, weight-lifting and chinning, it 1s reasonably con- cluded that they have taken a leaf from the Amer- ican military manual. It is weH known that the splen- id average physique of our soldiers, in comparison with their French’ associates in arms, made a pro- found impression abroad. The French military au- thorities de close inquiry into the reasons for our young men’s stamina and agility and decided that they were largely due to engaging in baseball and vther outdoor sports unknown in France. The French do play a species of football, but as a people are not en- astic about open-air pastimes. Like the British officials, the French were worried during the war by discoveries of deterioration of the youthful physique and now they are taking steps to remedy it. “While the French army plans sound sensible, they do not go far enough. Gymnasium work is all right in its way, developing under-sized muscles, but its monotony is apt to pall. The most beneficial exercises axe those containing the element of competition,*es- pecially if they are conducted in the open air. If their boys and youths could be induced to take up baseball and football as national sports the French problem would be solved in time. It was generally ad- mitted during the war that the finest specimens of manhood were the Americans, the Canadians and the Australians, all of whom were more accustomed to outdoor sports than the youth of other nationalities. Waterloo may have been won ‘on the playing fields of Eton,’ but the aristocratic schools of England could furnish only a minute proportioh of the men who were called to the colors in the latest and gres*»st of wars. While there is room for improvement in the American physique, it is gratifying to find the French adopting some of our methods to make their young men strong to defend their country in time of need.” LS AS Se EUROPE AND THE LEAGUE. Major Cecil Battine writing in the Fortnightly Re- view of Europe’s future under the League of Na- tions, has this to say: “The optimistic, if not credulous, persons who chant the advent of a new era in European relations, and who trust to the newly fledged League of Nations to keep the peace in future, are expecting a good deal from the diplomatic skill of its agents. The oppon- critics of the league, who distrust and even ie ideas upon which it is founded, have two pal criticisms to make against its authority. The is that it impairs the rights of national sovereign- , since no man can owe allegiance to two different sovereign authorities. It is inereasingly difficult to insure loyalty to anyone, whether royal or republican, for the hateful crime of high treason has become ram- pant of late in more than one European state. The second criticism is that the diplomacy of. the league must necessarily weaken the diplomacy of its com- ponent states by dividing the authority. Yet since it is only the state which can support its agents by force, the league authority will be a farce and fraud when- ever the policy of the state as directed by its states- men and diplomatists fails to coincide with the ac tion of the league. Anyone conversant with the dip- lomatic history of countries which have been known to maintain diferent and parallel relations with foreign powers at the same time will realize the complications which are sure.to happen. The war between Russia and Japan of 1904 was a notorious example of many such cases. The danger is not very clearly defiried at present, because no one, except Lord Robert Cecil and its numerous salaried officials, takes the league quite seriously, but if once it fell into the hands, or under the influence, of some capable intriguer with- in its fold, or into the hands of some European cab- inet, its potentialities for stirring up strife and breed- ing wars will be enormous. Imagine the League of Nations under the veiled direction of a Bismarck, or the open management of one of the many able cardi- nals who have steered the political course of the papacy in European history. The creation of this wonderful league. is an attempt to revive the international con- trol of a pacifist papacy in.a new insidious form, but it is worth noting that the militarist parties, such as are said still to exist in Germany, are converts to the scheme. So they well may be, for no greater danger to the future peace of Europe was ever planned in the light of day than this egregious folly.” oats SET THE NEWSBOY OF BROOKLINE. “There is something very e in the decision of the people of Brookline, Mass.," asserts the New York Herald, “to erecta tablet in their town hall in honor of Scotty, a newsboy who at 15 entered the 101st Regi- ment and at Epieds held a pass single handed, kill- ing 31 of the enemy before he was killed; there is something very fine in President Harding’s purpose tu attend the ceremony if he possibly can. “Brookline, once the ‘Hamlet of Muddy River,’ is a city in numbers, the home of a rich and favored population. It will not incorporate as a city, but clings to the town form of government. Its town hall is a real town hall. -It clings to the best New Eng- land traditions; and the newsboys, of whom Scotty— Albert Edward Scott—was typical, personify those traditions. They take care of themselves, they work hard, they grin at hard knocks. They have wit and native shrewdness, honesty grounded on honor and in- formed by good sense. Probably Scotty had some- body dependent upon .him, and his customers would never have suspected from his demeanor that he bore a burden of responsibility. He asked no charity and sought no alms. To ‘go on the town’ was a possibil- ity that never entered his head. He had a head to think with and a body to work with, and he asked no odds of any man. And with all this, beyond a doubt, Seotty was as lively a youngster as Brookline offered for inspection, ready for any deviltry that would worry the peace officers of the Massachusetts town— peace officers who, like New York’s, possess skill, ex- perience and shrewdness. and for whose good judg- ment and sympathy many a mischievous youngster has cause to be thankful. “He saw his duty and he did it; did it in war as he did it in peace; did it in France as he did it in Brookline, and Brookline and the president of the United States and all the rest of us will do well to honor him as a type of sturdy, self-reliant, manly American boys.” SUE Eceeee § ‘There is no use in howling one’s self hoarse about the sex complex in moving pictures best sellers and elsewhere when it is so insistently present in every day life.

Have you ever found consolation in the thought that “‘it is a great responsibility to look after so much money’”’? Right then you were unconsciously thinking about Income Insurance. To have a goodly share of this world’s wealth, and to have that share well invested and safeguarded—if this thing appeals for yourself, does it not appeal much more for those whom you love and protect —for those who by that very love and protection have been made less able either to secure that share for themselves or to take care of it if secured for them? Right now you are beginning to appreciate the value of Income Insurance. To have a check for the wife or for that little girl of yours—coming to her on the first day of each month as long as she lives — coming from a source of sup- ply that never becomes used up—from a source of supply that is safeguarded ,and eared over by those whose ability, judgment and integrity are beyond . question?
