She turned back a few years and did it in an old fashioned manner. Plenty of noise, plenty of music, plenty red, white and blue, and plenty of pa- triotism. The people were hungry for just such a time and they went the limit. The encampment of the heroes of 1898, the Spanish-American veterans, was the occasion seized upon, and in offering hospi- tality to them and helping to make their gathering a success the lid was incidentally removed and the celebration was made unanimous. Not in a long time has there been more powder burned. It recalled the great victory of Admiral Dewey at Manila on that other Fourth of July when the boys of that war were putting an end to the Spanish tyranay. The people of that time knew no beunds to their enthusiasm and ’ erday in Casper was by no means a weak Tefiec- tion of that old day. i The veterans, during their several days visit, have been made welcome and shown our most lavish hos- pitality. PThe unavoidable failure of distinguished command- ers of the Spanish war to come to Casper to address the boys who carried the flag to victory, while a dis- appointment, by no means cast gloom upon the en- campment for Judge Stone’s rousing address was all that could be desired. } The department reunion has been a success and if the veterans are as well pleased to be in Casper as Casper is to have them here a mutual friendship has been established. ee. Rete A SAMPLE OF BRITISH POLICY. There are still those who argue for cancellation of the war debts due the United States. From an Utop- ian standpoint it is a most beautiful and worthy dream and thoroughly American in its conception, had we at any point failed in our duty as a civilized nation dur- ing the war. If we had, no one would have had to even suggest to us that we balance accounts and close the books. We did not fail in our duty, men, money and material were all thrown into the vortex of war and they won the day and saved the world. The money owed, America, some ten billions or more, came from the people of America it was loaned for the same purpose other billions were loaned, for the purposes of our own government. The Amer- ican people have subjected themselves to enormous taxation for many years to accomplish the things that came to pass. The debt should be repaid scrupulous- Vy dollar for dollar with the interest. It will be noted that the nations owing the United States did not hesi- tate to divide up the colonial and other outlying ter- ritory belonging to the central powers, worth many times the principal debt which the allied powers raised from our people. Further, the allied powers, our- selves except are collecting from the defeated countries punitive damages in the billions. And while Great Britain is advocating a shfting of war burdens to our people she is bending every energy to develop her foreign trade and rehabilitate herself at our experse. From the very day the armistice was signed she hzs lost no opportunity to regain her for- eign ccrtomers aud more especially in countries in the western hemisphere naturally belonging to the United States. The desire and effort to restore for- mer trade conditions and win new markets is in it- self not to be censured, but we do not look with com- paisance upon the expenditure by Britain of huge surms of money to displace us in markets which we enjoy and then ask us to excuse debts she justly owes us. We are perfectly willing to engage in a trade contest with her but we are unwilling to finance the nation thus competing. An impressive illustration of the methods used by Britain in promoting her commercial interests is seen in the subsidizing of the Brtish coal industry. The norma] production of coal in the United Kingdom is ebout 270,000,000 tons, of which about 70,000,000 tons is exported to European and South American countries. The United States produces a little more than half a billion tons annually and exports less than 18,000,000 tons to trans-oceanic nations. Great Bri- tain has been maintaining government control of the industry under a guarantee against loss, with the re- sul. that prior to the strike mines were marketing coal at less than cost of production and, according to re- ports from Europe, the British treasury was called upon to pay some ten million pounds sterling to make the guarantees good during the month of March. This was a subsidy of $40,000,000 in one month in an effort to enable British coal to regain or retain its markets in Europe. The period of contro! has ex- pired, the strike has just been settled, and British of- ficials have agreed to a resumption of the subsidy. It is estimated that, at the most, American coal would come into successful competition with British coal to the extent of only ten million tons in a year, or about one-seventh of the quantity Great Britain exports. No exception can be taken to any effort Britain may make to develop her industries and her commerce, terest is being withheld and used to subsidize a coal industry in order that the United Stétes may not es- tablish closer commercial relations with some of the European nations. This is only one instance of the British policy, but it is one that will not tend in the least to strengthen the plea of the internationalists for the cancellation of war debts, or the proposal for the extension of time for interest payments. gee —— THE NOBLEST CCCUPATION. John T. Adams, the new chairman of the Repub- lican national committee and successor of Will Hays, has said this: “Politics is the art and science of gov- ernment. In a republic like ours it is the noblest oc- cupation of citizenship, and he who ids him- self from its activities is a peace time slacker. Mr. Adams was not using the word “politics” in the sense in which it is commonly used. The science and art of government is something altogether different from the manipulation of elections for the promotion of one’s own self interest. The participation in poli- tics which Mr. Adams had in mind begins with the individual’s own mental processes:in which he ascer- teins facts and draws sound conclusions, afterward putting those conclusions into practical effect if pos- sible by influencing legislation and administration, which, of course, includes the election of proper men to office. Elections are only one, but none the less eesential step in the practice of the art of politics. There are some people who seem to take a personal pride in proclaiming themselves free from politics. Their boast is not a worthy one, even if they allude to politics in its narrowest sense, for practical poli- ties will never be brought to the highest standard un- til men of the highest ideals take an active part in its affairs. This does not necessarily mean that prac- tical politics will be fit subject for reproach until it shall be under the control of men of the highest ideals. Unfortunately, it frequently happens that men of the highest ideals are very impractical in the means they adopt to secure desirable ends. In a government of, for and by the people, we cannot have government by idealists alone. The composite citizen is made up of millions of in- dividuals each dominated in most cases by self inter- est. But because of the difference in the personal equasions of the individual units making up the com- posite citizen, there is a corresponding difference in the interests dominating the units, and while com- posite action is taking place, friction is developed, at- trition results, selfishness is worn away, and gen- eral welfare is substituted before action is accom- plished. Such will be the result if all citizens take an active part in policitics—the science and art of government. If a few, through laziness, false pride, or whatever other motive, withdraw themselves from participation in the tasks of government, the result must be better or worse according to the character of the men and women who remain inactive. At a time when bolshevism is destroying a nation unsurpassed in natural resources and possibilities and seeking to gain a foothold in our own nation with its rasources only half developed, the new chairman could have uttered no more pertinent sentiment than his declaration’ that politics is the noblest occupation of citizenship and that he who withholds himself from its activities is a peace-time slacker. The nation needs its best and ablest citizens actively at work teaching sound economic doctrines, in season and out of season; and securing the practical adoption of those doctrines, by nominating at the primaries and electing at the polls men who are sincere advocates of the general welfare as distinguished from any lo- cal, class or self interest. ee ee MADE THEIR DECLARATION. In adopting a resolution favoring government own- ership and democratic operation of railroads the American Federation of Labor is simply camou- flaging the Plumb plan. It is one step this side of socialism and two jumps to bolshevism. The Plumb planners have never halted for a moment in their pur- pose to compel the government to buy the railroads and turn them over to the employes to operate. They have been just a little more quiet about the matter and kept out of public view, but they have not aban- doned their principles. Their object is to place the transportation systems of the country in the hands of one class faithful to the selfish interest of that class and use the leverage to compel the country to bow Z to its dictates. The federation resolution favoring government own- ership and “democratic control” was proposed by John L. Lewis, -andidate for the presidency of the federation in opposition to Mr. Gompers, and the adoption of the resolution was construed as a victory for Mr. Lewis, but, in view of the fact that Mr. Gompers is a member of the Plumb Plan league, it is difficult to see wherein there was even a temporary victory for Lewis over Gompers. The adoption mere- ly shows that the entire federation is now pledged to ee movement heretofore sponsored by its leaders only. The farmers of the country have repeatedly gone on record in opposition to government ownership, particularly since the proposal for government own- ership has bene coupled up with the demand that con- trol of the roads be placed in the hands of the em- ployes. There would be no more business sense in government ownership of the railroads with control by the employes, than there would be in government ownership of the farm lands of the country with op- eration by the hired hands, who would fix their own wages and hours of labor. It is perhaps well that the federation has adopted this resolution, for it presents the issue in a direct, tangible and unavoidable form. There is now a high- ly organized fight in progress to force the govern- ment to borrow money to buy the railroads and adopt a system of management that would be even worse than the deplorable system put in force by Mr. Mc- Adoo. Where Mr. McAdoo adopted afew regulations reducing hours of labor and increasing wages, the em- ployes’ management would make that a_ universal practice. And the rest of the people of the country would pay the bill, as they are now paying for the ex- travagance, waste and folly of the McAdoo regime. The people had better look into the situation and determine which side of the question with which they prefer to align themselves. It is their opinion that will govern in the matter. ———— Casper must have used several tons of fireworks to make the Fourth glorious.

There are signs of revolt in the lower house of con- gress against the inaction of the controlling power. Legislation carrying into effect platform and cam- paign pledges is either dragging or pigeonholed in committee and members have been hearing from the folks back home. The newer members have become nervous, for they fully expected to make record enogh to insure their return next session. They see little promise in the present session and a whole lot of justification in the home criticism. That seemed reason enough to call a caucus to inquire into the licans to do in a Republican congress with such an overwhelming majority. still that such a move should be deemed necessary.

Power of Medicine Conclusively Proven. A day never passes but what thousands of people ask the questions: What is Tanlac? Why do we hear so much about it? and why has this prepara- tion so far out-stripped all other medicines of its kind? The answer to these questions is easy and can be explained in just one word—merit. Tan ed and represents years of work, study, experimentation and research by some of the foremost chemists and pharmacolo- gists of America. The Tanlac formula is purely ethical and complies with all national and state pure food laws. It is purely vegetable and is made from the most beneficial. roots, herbs and barks known to Materia Medica. The Tan!ac uboratories ave among the largest and most modernly equipped in this country. Ten Ingredients in Tanlac. Altogether, there are ten ingredients in Tanlac, each of which is of recog- nized therapeutic value. In referring to one of the more im- portant ingredients of Tanlac, the En- cyclopedia Brittanica says: “Tt has been the source of the most valuable tonic medicines that have ever been discovered.” In referring to other af the general tonic drugs contained in Tanlac, the 13th Edition of Potter’s Therapeutics, a standard medical text-book, states that “they impart general tone and strength to the entire system, includ- ing all organs and tissues.” ‘This same well-known authority in describing the physiological action of still another of the ingredients of Tan- lac, which is of great value in treat- ing what is commonly known as a “run-down condition,” uses the follow- ing expression: “It is highly esteemed in loss af ap- petite during convalescence from acute diseases.” ‘There are certain other elements in Tanlac which, because of their influ- ence upon the appetite, digestion, as- PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTION OF TANLAC EXPLAINED World’s Leading Authorities Show Just What Explain Effect of Each Why its phenomenal success? lac is scientifically compound- similation and elimination, improve the nutrition and vital activity of all the tissues and organs of the body and produce that state of general ton- icity which is called bealth. The United States dispensatory makes the following comment regard- ing another ingredient: “It may be used in all cases of pure debility of the digestive organs or where a general tonic impression is required.” There are certain other ingredients described in the dispensatory, and in other standard medical text-books, as having a beneficial action upon the or- gans of secretion, whose proper func- tioning results in a purification of the blood streams passing through them. In this manner, objectionable and poi- sonous ingredients of the blood are removed and the entire system invig- orated and vitalized. Tonic and Body Builder. Tanlac was designed primarily for the correction of disorders of the stqm- ach, liver and bowels. At the same time, however, it is a powerful recon-| $ structive tonic and body builder, for} it naturally follows that any medicine that brings about praper assimilation of the food and the thorough elimina- tion of the waste products must, there- fore, have a far-reaching and most beneficial effect upon the entire sys- tem.
