The Popular Mechanics Magazine in an article on national highways says of Wyoming’s share in the Lincoln highway undertaking: “A finished Lincoln highway, spanning the continent from coast to coast with a ribbon of solid concrete, would be an accomplished fact in another year if all the states traversed by it would invest in it the time, money, and effort, in proportion to their population, expended by Wyoming during 1920. “Though thinly populated and having 425 miles of the highway as its quota, Wyoming has spent without stint, though wisely, to such good purpose that all but about forty miles of this distance has been surfaced with a boulevardlike coat of finely crushed granite, 16 feet wide and 5 inches thick. The year 1920 saw 37.5 miles of this roadbed finished at a cost of about $3,000 a mile. The low figure is accounted for by the facts that the material is plentiful along the whole route, and that for several miles the old roadbed of the Union Pacific railroad has beer. utilized. “Funds from a 2%-million-dollar good roads bond issue of 1918, supplemented by federal aid and Lin- coln highway associatiqn contributions, plus plenty of work and determination, havé plated Wyoming in the front rank of accomplishment in this highly meritor- ious undertaking. A slogan, expressive of the state- wide sentiment, is ‘The Lincoln Highway First.’” CST FE 2 eae THE NEW CHAIRMAN. The Republican party will view with satisfaction the action of the national committee in selecting John T. Adams of Iowa, as the successor of Will Hays in the chairmanship. He will bring to the office a life time’s experience and a love for the game and will the high character of the ‘organization. He is of the coneer ee school as things go these days; but among his most ardent friends and political asso- ciates are the former Progressives. He can better be styled a Republican of the McKinley type when “prog- ress and prosperity” was the watchword. Mr. Adams has the confidenco of the party mem- bership and the enthusiastic support of the party lead- ers everywhere. He is a staunch supporter of the ad- ministration policies and will be a great aid in their advancement. The party has done well in placing its future in the hands of Chairman Adams. ee ee ee WHAT THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR, On July 2 the heavyweight championship of the world is to be decided at Jersey City. As the time grows near the publicity grows in quantity and silli- ness. The press agents seemingly grasp at anything that can be shaped into an item, which all moves the Los Angeles Times to remark: “Not for themselves, you understand, but for others. Jack Dempsey wants to win the fight for the sake of his mother. And Carpentier wants to win it for the sake of his baby, Jacqueline. It will break Jack’s mother’s heart if he loses. It wilt blight the future of Baby Jacqueline if Carpentier loses. How cruel life is! And to think what it is going to cost to break a mother’s heart or blight a baby’s innocent young life. “Two strong men hazarding the happiness of their loved ones through a stroke of crue! fate. Oh, if you have tears, my friends, prepare to shed them now!” LOAN TO CATTLE INDUSTRY, To meet the temporary emergency existing in the livestock industry the federal reserve board has rec- ommended legislation to congress authorizing the sec- retary of the treasury to: make available to the war finance commission the sum of fifty million dollars to aid the livestock producers of the country get on their financial feet. This credit is deemed an abso- lute necessity because the producers have suffered tre, mendous setbacks and loss if not bankruptcy through price reductions, marketing conditions, shortage of feed and other unfortunate circumstances that‘ have disheartened the producers’ and almost wrecked the . industry. It is proposed to amend the reserve act making one and two year cattle paper eligible to rediscount in- stead of the existing six months limit. Loans to be made through reserve banks as fiscal agents of the war finance corporation arid to be for three years from the passage of the enabling legislation. The re- serve banks are amply able to meet the requirements of both the livestock and agricultural industries. BERNIE SS i THE SPECTRUM IN WAR. It seems that color plays a most important part in war as it is conducted in Europe. Having become confused in the matter the New York Evening Post relieves its mind in this fashion: “Cheering Green police in Silesia lined the streets as the first battalion of the Black Watch entered Oppeln, and even the Reds rejoiced. For two years the dispatches have familiarized us with the Red ar- mies, White armies and Green armies, the last-named being the forces which, satisfied with neither the Bol- shevists nor their opponents, have taken to the for- ests. Latest election returns from Ulster show the Orange more than holding its own. Monday ten thou- sand orators paid tribute to the Blue and the Gray. Faction-rent Eatanswill, with its Buffs and Flues crowding to the polls, illustrated the tendency of hu- mankind to die for a hue. How often has the Gray fleet not outmanoeuvred the Brown of Nantucket, and 3.90/ place and the National Republican suggests that that captured New York, and how many times has the Black army not won the battle of Aldershot from the Violet army? It would take a Blue Book or a White Paper fully to record the historic role of colors in war and politics. . “Modern unrest has ‘swe it difficult to bear in mind the whole significance of the spectrum. To be a Red may mean to be a Garibaldian or a soldier of Brandenburg or any variety of revolutionist. It Was not so dangerous to be color blind in ancient times. There were four Roman factions, it is true, according to the cglors of circus charioteers—white, red, green and blue. But when the religious parties of Constant- inople chose hues they were satisfied with two. The orthodox were blues, the Anastasians were greens, and it was the revolt of the latter that Justinian crushed by slaying 30,000 in a day. The whole list of orange, green, red, white, blue and other factions ram- pant in Europe today might inspire lovers of peace to take the rainbow, reconciling all colors, as a new emblem of hope.” ER ONY HANG ON TO THE NAVY. it has come to be fairly well settled opinion that if the United States is to remain on the world’s map she will have to have @ pretty strong navy to keep her- self there. We are in second place now so far as na- val strength is rated. If we expand in accordance with the present program we can easily come into first [John T. Adams, New Republican Chairman | 25 PER CENT ‘WASHINGTON, oN, June 9. —A provi- sional import duty of 26 per cent on finished lumber. the same as that im- posed by Canada with rough —— Your Friend good many people who like tea . or coffee find that tea and coffee Gon like them. Nervousness, sleeplessness or disturbed digestion is proof, position will make us the more powerful and influen- tial in bringing about disarmament among the world powers. It sa: “If this nation is to be influential in behalf of dis- armament, it must have sea power commensurate with its importance as a world power. The toothless dog’s arguments against fighting are not impressive. China could never be a factor in world disarmament. When the world’s greatest naval power proposes naval dis- armament, its leadership will be effective. Whenever Japan, England and the United States agree upon ‘na- yal disarmament the rest of the world will follow. The ability of the United States to persuade Japan and Great Zritain to take such a step will depend very much upon our progress in the development of sea power. For the first time in world history Great Britain is willing to talk about limitation of arma- ments, because for the first time in history another power is upon England’s heels. in naval equipment. That is natural enough. “For Uncle Sam to put up his gun while the other powers of the world have their guns out might prove his good intentions, but it would not make him a bet- ter insurance risk. “Less than ten years ago Colonel Bryan was going about the country arguing against preparedness for war and ridiculing the idea that the United States would ever he called upon to fight again. The senti- ment created by such pacifists cost the American people thousands of lives aad billions of dollars.’ OG Sv Re eA ED, WHY WE WENT IN. We have always been content to allow history to fix the place Woodrow Wilson is to ccupy, feeling cer- tain that the judgment of time would commit no er- ror. With the excitement of war upon us and occu- pied with the actual struggle; his partisans might pro- claim him any degree of hero they chose, they could even place him above Washington and Lincoln as national idols if it pleased them. But such “fame could not remain his unless the mature judgment of the impartial writers of hissory were warranted by the facts that would be developed. The further away from war we get the more frank are becoming the expressions of opinion concerning Mr. Wilson. Thus, the Milwaukee Sentinel speaks upon a point or two that will_one day enter into the settled opinion con- cerning Mr. Wilson: “Friends of Mr. Wilson who are drawing noble zontrasts in favor of the former president and to the moral disadvantage of Ambassador Harvey as regards his statement that Americans who fought under their own flag in the war fought for their own country and ‘to save the United States of America,’ are on rather thin ice. “They appear to be forgetting Mr. Wilson’s utter- ancés prior to the German manifesto of Jahuary, 1917, and to the practical acts of war against the United States in pursuance of that stupid policy which Bernstoff, who knew America, did his best to prevent. “In 1914, when the storm broke in Europe the presi- dent declared that ‘with the objects and causes of the war’. Americans had no concern. The war was Eu- rope’s own business and i.one of our business at all, whether morally or politically. “And his injunction to his countrymen was: “The United States must be neutral in fact as well as in name during these days that are to try men’s souls. We must be impartial in thought as well as in action, must put a curb upon our sentiments as well as upon every transaction that might be construed as a preference of one party to the struggle before an- other. “In Mr. Wilson’s view, which was contrasted sharp- ly with Roosevelt’s view, the invasion-of Belgium was no concern of ours. In his message of December 7, 1915, he denounced Americans who ‘manifested their passionate. sympathy with one or other side in the great European conflict.’ ” FE EE aoa veh REPORTING THE BIG BOUT. It is the intention of sensation seexing editors of the leading metropolitan journals to send a staff of headliners of the literary world to Jersey City on July 2 when Messrs. Dempsey and Carpentier hold their international conference. They will have seats at the ringside and report the event in their own par- ticular style employed in putting over a best seller. This freak reporting has been done heretofore, at national conventions and other big in and out of doors sporting events with varying success. Care is taken, however, to see that a staff of regular and highly ef- ficient news and sports reporters are on the scene to get the story as it develops. The fun mekers and the high-brow literary genius- es are all right for the features and to impart im- portance to the occasion, but the reliable everyday, hard-working and story grabbing reporters will tell the story of the great contest that will be read by the millions. The frills and ornaments will not concern these boys overmuch. aE a THOMPSON SUFFERS DEFEAT. The ‘political machine of William Hale Thompson, the Chicago Republican boss, suffered a complete wreck in the Cook county judicial elections Monday in the coalition of Republicans and Democrats led by the Chicago Tribune, to maintain freedom from the political control of the courts of justice: Ten Repub- licans and eleven Democrats composed the coalition slate and the lowest majority received by any candi- date exceeded sixty thousand. It is the first impor- tant defeat for the Thompson machine in several years and means much to the people of Chicago, who have apparently grown tired of the encroachment of the criminal element of the city, the failure of pun- ishment for crimes committed through political con- trol of courts and prosecuting officers. The country at large will rejoice with the people of Chicago in the day’s work they have accomplished. eM SD There is one sweetly solemn thought in connection with Colonel Harvey’s few kind remarks to our friends in Europe, and that is, no pro-league American has the slightest doubt about what the colonel meant when he said it. i Pee Add to war's horrors.

It is not only an evi- dence of thrift but shows a determination to live on less than he makes, which, in the last analysis, is the road to a competence. Recommendations and influence of friends of the applicant fade into insignificance with the employer when compared to the above mentioned characteristics.” (Signed) J. Z. Miller, Jr., Governor, Federal Reserve Bank.
