The ex-service man who writes of the lack of re- spect shown the emblem of the power and glory of the American republic has just cause for the arraign- ment of the Casper public, presented in an adjo ing eclumn. Whatever may be the excuse of the in- dividual—carelessness, pre-occupation or simply ‘‘let- ting George do it,” does not fulfil the requirements in this case. The flag that represents the majesty of a government owned and controlled by the people must have the respect of its creators. If they have no pride in their handiwork, consider the lifting of a hat as too great service to render for the privileges and protection guaranteed by the flag, then they should hunt up some other government which better suits them and offer it their allegiance. Another writer on this subject courteously excuses the general public on the ground of ignorance of forms and customs. If we have in the short time since the closing of the war forgotten the respect due the flag, during which period we seemed alive enough te the meaning of the national emblem, we should at once open up patriotic kindergartens and re-school the adult population. We will, venture that the high school cadets, the Boy Scouts and even the Campfire Girls would be the proper instructors in such a school. We do not pretend to deny the lack of respect for the flag complained of by the two writers. We find no reasonable excuse for it. American citizens should know and others who aspire to become American, citi- zens are unfit if they are unwilling to show respect’ for the flag that admits them to citizenship. It is « simple enough courtesy and in no sense does it hu- miliete the person who pays the tribute. We all know the flag and we all know the tune if not the words of the Star Spangled Banner. Let us think of them both more frequently and let us show our reverence for them on all occasions and no long- er stand condemned in our duty and reproached in our citizenship. = A SE ES St PLAIN, TRUTHFUL REPRESENTATIONS. The echoce from Harvey’s London address are still reverbrating and likely will continue for some time. It was the first regular American talk heard in for- eign parts in several years. In all probability there will be more of it from time to time as occasion de- mands. The world has gained a wrong impression of. the ideals and aspirations of the American people through an unfortunate and unauthorized presidential visit at a crisis in the world’s affairs when America was expected to assume leadership and utterly failed. Erroneous impressions must be corrected and there is no shorter and surer way than by plain truthful statements, The shock may not be pleasant in some quarters but after recovery from it and the real sit~ uation understood there is a basis to proceed upon which did not exist~before. With a group of able, sincere and honest Americans, distributed to the several important capitals through- out the world representing and speaking for the American people instead of a detached individual with an obsession we are more likely to be understood and respected even though our policies and purposes are not entirely approved by other peoples. The visit of General Wood to the far east will be productive of a clearer understanding and improved relationship with the peoples of that quarter of the world, where doubt and misapprehension of us has long existed. With the South American relationships corrected and Mexican friendship re-established, there remains only Central Europe and there time alone, can clear the situation. The world has confidence in a government with men like Harding and Hughes at its head. A RE THE NEXT CHIEF JUSTICE. If President Harding listens te the voice of the peo- ple in his selection of the successor of the late Chief Justice White his choice is bound to be William How- ard Taft. There never was a clearer. indication of the will of the people than the country-wide prefer- ence for Mr. Taft. It is the same in all sections of the country. As an example of the existing -senti- ment the Boston Transcript fairly reflects it when it says: “From one end of the country to the other the be- lief is growing that Mr. Taft will be the next chief justice, and from one end of the country to the other there is spontaneous approval of the selection the president is expected to mak The only unfavorable comment we haye seen hrs come anonymously from Washington, where several senators are said to have invoked what they are pleased to call ‘Mr. Taft’s own tule of age’ seainst his elevation to the chief justice- ship. The fact is that as President Mr. Taft laid down no hard and fast rule of age in selecting supreme court timber. It is true that he preferred y competent and conspicuously fitted to older men, but in the exercise of this preference he made exceptions, Mr. Justice White was 66 when President Taft made him chief justice; Justice Lurton was in his 65th year when President Taft made him an associate justice, and each was quickly confirmed. “Chief Justice White and Associate Justice Lurton had long judicial experience. So has Mr. Taft, who is not yet 64; three years on the Ohio bench; two years solicitor general of the United States in the supreme court; eight years presiding judge of the United States circuit court of appeals for the Sixth judicial circuit— Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee; four years governor of the Philippines; four years secretary of war; four years president of the United States; eight years Kent professor of law in Yale university, where he has lectured five hours a week on Federal consti- tutional law—with the exception of one year as chair- man of the National War Labor Board and one year as arbitrator between the Canadian government and the Grand Trunk Railway company. “Surely here is @ record of judicial and other ex- perience that would justify an exception to the rule of ag, if there ever was such a thing. In addition Mr. Taft uas seen and been seen d has talked with and to more of his fellow citizens than any living American. His elevation to the chief justiceship would personalize that great office in the minds and hearts of many millions of Americans and fill it with a.man known and admired in hundreds of thousands of Amer- ican homes. It ic not surprising that just at this time Mr, Taft should have been greeted in New ‘ork yes- terday with an ovation that well nigh equalled that given the president or that the president should have been a leader in the applause that followed his en- thusiastic introduction of his Republican predecessor in the White Hopse. _ Mr. Harding must know that the late chief justice hoped that Mr. Taft would be his successor and that in that hope the country shares.”” The trouble with the Farm Bureau Federation, its members want the roads leading from their farms to the nearest market, improved, instead of comprehen- This or- ganization has a purely selfish motive. pl 2 RE a DECLINE OF MANNERS. That the world is a pretty good place in spite of all the ugly things that are said about it is the opinion of the Philadelphia Ledger and it continues: “Manners have been declining, in the opinion of many custodians and curators of morals, ever since there were any manner to decline. A writer observes: ‘Our newspapers contain accounts of numerous frauds, robbericr, arsons, murders and other crimes, and these things give occasion to many for saying that crimes are more numerous now than ever and that civiliza- tion is waning into barbarism.” “One can hear sermons like that any Sunday in any city. “After-dinner speakers are accustomed to joke for a little while, then pull a grave face and tell us that we are rushing headlong to ruin. “The welkin rings with the clamor of those who are reforming their grandmothers and reading the riot act to debutantes, “If we must have somebody to reform, why not be- gin, as Chesterton suggests, with ourselves? “It doesn’t help to ery forever: ‘The werld is very evil, the times are waxing late,’ and bewail the trans- gressions of all the rest. “Everything that is said today ‘about costumes and customs has been reiterated since Eder... Every age has lauded some golden age before it, when’ every- body was,immitculately good. “The world is dreadfully young and_desperately un- finished, and there is a heap to do to bring in the mil- lennium, But merely ‘slamming’ one another isn’t go- ing to help, And the world, with all its load of Sin and shame, was never so good a place as it is this spring morning.” (ee Se PRs A street car strike in Petrograd can possibly add nothing to the discomforts of life in that town. ES LP ENE TE MUSCULAR CHRISTIANITY. “When Chuck Carpenter, the heavyweight wrestler from Princeton, who won the intercollegiate cham- pionship,” observes the New York Herald, “was able to withstand for tweaty minutes the best efforts of the professional expert Strangler Lewis in this city recently it wags thouht by many that he would take up wrestling as a meas of livelihood. The returns from this sport, are Wery ‘large\iny these days of big ae for a man possessing the elements of a head- liner. “Carpenter’s resolve to enter the ministry instead marks the passing of another muscular Christian from the field of sport to the pulpit. Dr. Billy Sunday liked baseball and was a star of considerable magni- tude, but he felt a call to help men to salvation which was irresistible, and he found his athletic cateer an aid in a field in which he has scored a conspicuous success, . “Fiction writers have found material for their work in the possession of. athletic prowess on the part of preachers of the Gospel. As a matter of fact truth fs stranger than fiction here as elsewhere, and the ranks of ‘the clergy are filled with men who were remark- able athletes—boxers, football players,“ shot putte-s, wrestlers and oarsmen—who felt the call to a higher life and obeyed it.” MAINTENANCE OF ROADS. Travelers in France remember the neat piles of crushed rock on French roads and the old men work- ing with hammers beside them, remarks the. New York Tripune.. To each man is allotted a section of road. If a hole appears he repairs it. If the topping needs replacing he sees that it is done. A few francs spent for prevention save napoleons for reconstruction. So General Pershing, who knows what can be done, has informed the Senate committee on post roads that money appropriated for road construction which does not carry a provision for maintenance is wasted. On our toads good sections are built—often on in- sufficient foundations—and allowed to deteriorate, with not only increased cost, but the constant closing of sections for repairs. As the use of automobiles for commercial purposes increases the need for roads in good conditions grows greater. The problem is nation- wide. An increased traffic demands provisions for the adequate upkeep of highways. In one matter we must conquer the national temperament. General Pershing might well have quoted Laurence Sterne’s famous line: ‘‘ ‘They order,’ said I, ‘this mat- ter better in France.’ ” 0° OLD POLICIES AND NEW. “The wheels of time are not slow in their revolv- ing,” says the New York Times, “after all.” “Fifteen years ago an announcenrent of a public address by the president of the United States meant a further belaboring of the criminals of great wealth and a new appeal for the fatherly supervision and con- trol of business by government agencies. The presi- dent of the United States came to this city yesterday and in two brief addresses he said just the other thing. In his speech at the luncheon of the Academy of Polit- ieal Science he dwelt upon the ‘staggering’ cost of government control of business—‘a cost which so- ciety could not bear for long, a cost that has left so- ciety burdened with debts’—and he spoke with em- phasis and full confidence of the reduction of govern- ment expense. At the dinner of the New York Com- mercial in the evening Mr. Harding so far departed from the old formulas and preachments as actually to (give business a good character and to deny the need for pizpetual government meddling.” pb 2 LES Set HE USES ENGLISH. In the view of the Philadelphia Ledger: “The presi- dent does well in leaving international affairs to his secretary of state. They are in charge cf a man who does not become intoxicated on ideas and blind drunk on cunning “phrases. -He uses words to express mean- ings, policies, decisiotis, not as carriers of filmy propa- ganda. Thus far it has not been necessary to issue interpretations or diagrams of what might have been meant. “Truth to tell, there have been times in recent years when no two men could agrée upon the exact mean- ing of an American state paper. There is evidence that such days are happily past. If so, we shall be a better informed nation on foreign affairs.” WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 1571 Che Casper Daily Cribune : aoe ‘ - what 65 graduates of a decade - | content.
