Is there or is there not a demand upon the part of the people of Casper for a series of carnivals, shows and cheap and tawdry entertainments, that give little or nothing in return for the price asked for admis sion? Are the people so show hungry that they desire this class of amusement to visit the city-and will pay reg- ular money to see the wonders exhibited, regardless of the stringency of ‘the times and the bette? use to which the money could be devoted? . Is the city of Casper so financially bad off that it needs the pitiful license money, and must put up with the litter occasioned, by a visitation by these touring outfits? Does the city consider it a good investment to permit these wandering fakirs to éxploit the people in the manner they do? Who are these visiting hum- bugs that they can come into the city and operate all manner of games. of chance and gambling devices whereby they can cheat and swindle the people out of their money? Is there not an effort on the part of the authorities to rid the city of all of this particular sort of practices? Surely there is sufficient entertainment already provided of a great deal superior character to satisfy all of the needs. of the-people: without dragging in the doubtful and the clearly disreputable. A clean entertainment forming a part of a: worthy cause would occasion no objection upon the part of anyone, ut when these shows ‘come for the’ sole ‘pur- pose of speculation upon the people they ought to be denied the right to open within the city. a9? It is not a spirit of narrowness that prompts the suggestion, neither is it a desire to deny the people any proper pleasure or relaxation, it is because these visiting concerns are so largely worthless that it ap- pears foolish to give them a lot of money for being so. The city would be just as happy and a whole lot better off financially if these institutions never came to pester us. BRB ES tN aes Se AN OLD PROBLEM. One of the problems that has occupied students and experts for many generations has been to make a dollar stay Nae It has never been solved, but one day it may be hit upon and then we can scratch a very important trouble off our list of things that bother the ‘ earth. The Detro‘t Free Press notes: “A conference is to be held in Washington soon for the purpose of forming a ‘stable money league’ which ‘will undertake to find some plan for regulating'so that’ “a dollar will always have substantially the same pur- chasing power. “Whenever one hears of a new movement to tinker with the currency, the impulse is to inquire what par- ticular set of cranks is behind it, but such an inquiry in this case would reveal the fact that the promoters of the new organization are mostly college presidents, bankers, economists, business men and politicians of the conservative type. Alton ‘B. Parker, Frank O. Lowden, Prof. Jeremiah Jenks and Prof. Irving Fish- er are fair samples‘of the lot. From such, men; one may expect intelligent discussion and possibly, in time, a new attack upon the old problem of how to ‘make an ideal currency. “Many thousands of people who would have viewed this movement a few years ago as of no interest ex- cept to economic theorists will consider it now with 2 keen understanding of its significance to them. Be- fore the war they realized vaguely or not at all, that the price of money may be said to go up and down in terms of goods with as much propriety as that the price of goods goes up and down in terms of money. Now they know from recent and bitter. experience that the buying power of a dollar may wane until it is no better than 50 cents had been a little while be- fore. “If the gentlemen who are planning this new at- tack upon that ancient evil should succeed in getting before the public with any remedy that appears to be worth trying while memory of the general rise in prices due to war remains fresh, it is safe to promisc a large following among those who paid but found no field for profiteering.” Ba SE es BLAME WILSON EXTRAVAGANCE. Figures do not lie of their own accord, but occa- sionally those who do not take te pains to look into facts make them do so. The New York World, that paragon of democracy and untruth, recently stated in its editorial columns: “For the present fiscal year (ending with this month) the Democratic heads of departments asked for $5,064,350,793, and this was hailed as wild ex- travagance. The Republican congress cut those esti- mates and appropriated to meet the revised items $3,- 717,441,484, and this was acclaimed by the legisla- tive body as heroic economizing. But Secretary Mel- lon of the treasury figures that when the year closes four weeks from now the actual spending will have been $5,602,024,861, not counting posoffice outlay, which was included in the original estimates and the appropriations.” g The figures are incorrect as the World could have easily discovered by examination of the estimates and appropriations for the fiscal year 1920-21. The cor- rect figures are found in the Congressional Record of June 14, 1920. The estimates of the Wilson gov- ernment were $6,334,000,000 instead of $5,064,000,- 000 and the total appropriations were $4,859,000,000 and not $3,717,000,000. This we believe represents an economy of $1,475,000,000. And at the same time %S!ican relations and antagonism on that side of the the appropriations carried deficits of $486,000,000 and provided for 2 payment of $725,000,000 on the rail-|$ road indebtedness created by the mismanagement of the railroads by the Wilson-McAdoo administration. The Wilson administration’s demands for the fiscal year 1921-22 were $5,259,000,000. Congress appro- Priated $3,806,000,000, figuring the naval bill at the house’s figures $396,000,000. Here was another say- ing to the taxpayers of..$1,453,000,000. _ - It is preposterous to charge congress witk extrave- gance in the face of the fact of a clear sa in the two appropriation measures of $2,927,000,000; and from March 1919 when the Republican congress cxmé into power a total saving has been effectéd of the tidy sum of $4,600,000,000. Congress is doing business in tremendous figures and the government’s expense account is ‘still high because of the obligations incurred by the pre- vious wasteful administration. There is no-way to avoid payment. The debts have to be cleaned up. If the people are impatient ‘about the’ matter, congress is not to blame, charge it up to the Wilson -adminis- tration. cae et —_————— HARBORS NO ILL FEELING. Barron's Magazine, one of the leading English pub- lications, writing on the subject of British and Amer- ocean says . “There are only two classes of Britishers who are Full Mall clubs. These two classes—the dregs and the froth of British society, are fond of.being heard. scoff- % at America; but both classes are small in number and still smaller in influence. interested in the United States, and often express a wish io pay it a visit. # of thousands have already done so, and have returned full of wonder and appreciation at what they have seen. “There is no prejudice against American goods. American typewriters, adding machines, watches, lathes and motor cars are everywhere. “The leading merchant in Britain is, without doubt, Mr. Selfridge, who has never renounced a jot or title of his Americanism. He-is now living in Lansdowne house and has become one of the best known person- alities of London. “The manager of the Daily Mail—the dominant English newspaper, is an American named Pomeroy Burton. The only woman member of parliament. is Lady Astor, who was born in Virginia; and the prin- cipal business magazine in England is owned by a man in Chicago. “At the moment there are nine American plays run- ning at the London theaters. The novel of the week is ‘Main Street’; and as for the moving picture houses, fully four out of five are showing American films. “There is very little spoken criticism of America, as the British are not a people of easy and fluent speech. There is a far greater respect for Amcvicans. than there was before the war—of that there can be no question. bs “The man in the street is not likely to forget that’ the American army was a help in time of need—in the sorest time of-need that this war-bitten old land ever knew. “Few Britishers understand the ins and outs of American politics,’ but ther? is a general sense of sat- isfaction that Wilson has passed into private life, from which, in the opinion of Britishers, he should never have emerged.” cLi8 SS AS AEE 509 NOT A PRIMROSE PATH. In educating officers for the nayy the Annapolis academy has developed a system of its own and the ccurse is not lined with educational pink rosebuds | nor padded with perfumed pink cotton to smooth the bumps. The Philadelphia Ledger speaking of it says: ‘The’ senate finds ftself exer¢ised about the teach. ing attainments and methods of the faculty of the United States nava! academy. It appears that cer- tain midshipmen have not found a ‘royal road to learn- ing’ at Annapolis. “The navy has its own way of educating its officers; and the results, for generations, have justified the methods. In the meanwhile, school men generally, with the exception of pedagogical ‘fluffs’ and believers in the free-verse and cafeteria style of education, have held @ very high opinion of both service schools. “Tt is Mleged, charged, set forth and stated by the dismissed midshipmen that the teaching staff at An- napolis, does not know its subjects. That is uncon- vincing. The officers detailed as instructors are not called on to teach anything they did not study and pass in their academy days. The navy teachers prob- ably hold that if jthe student officer can’t take what ‘is before’ him he ‘will be very little use to the navy. The ‘spoon-féeding’ and cramming that is common enough in many schools:is' not followed at Annapolis. Therefore the midshipman is made to sweat his brains. “The navy knows what it wants. It knows much better than any other group. It has its own way of getting the officer material that makes a navy. That way may look cold and remorseless to the sentimental- ly directed school system. The midshipman is under close observation and there is more observed than his progress through text-books. They are trying to de- velop men and leaders at Annapolis. ‘In the naval academy they do not set the student acquiring his training by a coursé in educational mo- tion pictures, raffia work, pretty blocks and home dressmaking. The Montessori method hasn’t much of @ vogue at Annapolis.” pS Sa ENN ea be NOT IN LAUNDRY BUSINESS. Barney Baruch, one of the dollar-a-year experts, who was a financial adviser to the Wilson govern- ment and in possession of all secret and valuable in- formation likely to affect the stock market, now charged with having cleaned up tidy sums on copper sold to the government, desires a vindication at the hands of congress. He says a lot of cruel, heartless lies have been told about him, and he wants the tongues of his traducers stilled. “Shoot me if I am guilty,” says the noble Barney, but prove me inno- cent and shoot the liars first. That is his choice @f plans. If congress or any other authority undertook to clear the record ofall the grafters attached to the Wilson administration during the war period, as they desire it done, the supply of whitewash would not hold out. The sins committ®d in the name of patriotism are going to be forgotten, buried with all the other mistakes of an inefficient and helpless administra- tion, that had its head in the clouds and gave no thought to the business of government. Birds like Baruch should be content so long as no one else complains. If their moral character has been soiled, it will have to remain in that condition until they themselves supply the proof of purity. Congress is not running a dry cleaning establishment. 2 TE 2 EERIE SBE ILE, WHEN AIR TRAFFIC IS JAMMED. Fear that the air will one day become crowded and an entirely new set of tragedies and calamities will occur to take the place of the ones we are now fa- miliar with the Worcester Telegram thus voices its alarm: “The army plane which crashed with seven men aboard didn’t fall in a populated neighborhood, but it might have done so. On the same day another machine narrowly missed plunging into a crowded grandstand. “What «ill happen when flying becomes really gen- eral? And will the newspapers’ daily report of trag- edies substitute for news of railroad wrecks the news of the speed plane which ran off the track and into a thronged department store? How common will be the dropping on somebody’s skull of propeller blades, monkey wrenches and spare parts?” 5 New Policy Of \CHINESE TO Is the Japanese : “Prince” a Fake| Choosing Army | HOLD.
