If this remark proves anything, it| | proves remarkably weak powers of observation and re- | flection on the part of the doctor of divinity who ut- tered it. The world’s moral code has been steadily tightening up, at least for the past one hundred years. Every little while it buckles up a hole tighter. Stand- nd private conduct are higher today than they ever were before. Even Tammany Hall tries to walk reasonably straight in order to elect a Senators and rep- resentatives and other office-holders are required to keep their hands out of the public funds and romain sober.+ Profligates in private life are excluded from public life, at least to a greater extent than they were in the last generation. Those in charge of financial institutions are held to an unprecedentedly rigid ac-| count. Private standards are severe, and the life of our towns and villages is cleaner than past days. The world grows better, not worse. “One reason why offenses sometimes seem to in-| crease is that more fuss is made about them than for-| merly. There is less covering up of wickedness than| in the past. The publicity of the press, which cer-| tainly holds iniquity in check, is probably the reason| The vote in the senate ou the recommittal of the bonus jbill reveals the statesman and the politician in that body. It was a question of the country’s inter- est or the veterans’ interests, and it required no lit- tle nerve to apparently vote against the boys we sent to France to fight in the great war. Yet every vote cast for recommittal of the bill was a righteous and; patriotic vote. It all means that the country, due largely to the profligacy of the Wilson administration,| is in no financial position to undertake a five billion) dollar obligation at this time. It also means that the} boys to whom obligation and reward is acknowledged must be content to bide the time, possibly six months, possibly a year, until there is recovery through re- arrangement, sufficient to meet the reward due them. It further means, that the Republican party, the only party that ever did legislate for the benefit of those who upheld the country’s honor in war, is back of the bonus measure and will see justice done to the least of them that risked their lives in the cause of their) homeland. Wyoming may take pride in Senator Warren’s ac-} tion in his vote to send the bill back to committee. He himself is a veteran of another war. He was a boy soldier once and was no more than a boy when| by service he became a veteran. He was for long| years chairman of the senate committee on military] affairs, and in those years more than once was com- pelled to fight for justice for officers and men. We are certain his vote to send the bill back was in- fluenced by motives of fairness and justice to the! country, for his choice in the matter would naturally be to recompense the gallant boys who had brought the war to a close. Yet he was guided by statesman- ship, by the higher considerations. Can as much be said of Wyoming’s other senator who cast his vote against recommittal, who by his} vote was willing to commit the government to an obli- gation of five billions of dollars when it is hard scratching to bring the regular costs of government within its possible reveriues? The Kendrick vote was| purely a political one. It was cast to all intents and/ purposes with a view of currying favor with whatever voting strength the war veterans represent. He is a member of the minority party in the senate, the party that never has concerned itself with the soldiers’ wel- fare. He had the opportunity to support his govern- ment or to play cheap politics. He played politics. Which reminds Wyoming people of the bull he| sometime since spread at a meeting of the Sheridan Commercial Club, when he proclaimed that he would place no obstacle in the president’s path in upholding the public welfare and the good works he felt sure the new president would favor. He would uphold the president’s hand in all these works. The president appealed to the senate to postpone the bonus measure for the present because the treas- ury department could not meet the bonus payments if the bill were passed. Yet it is noticed that Mr. Kendrick was not a very valiant upholder on this oc- casion. He did just as he always has done, voted with his Democratic brethren in opposition to the Repub-| lican majority and for purely political and selfish reasons. SS IT HELPS SOME. Well, every little bit helps. The curfew whistle now blows for one minute instead of three minutes. Not much relief, but still some. Maybe with time, patience, sweet oil and prayers we may get the old dis- turber of the peace whittled down to the vanishing point. If the city council only knew what a bless- ing it would be conferring upon the people generally and what a relief to nervous folks it would be, we believe the order to discontinue the foolish whistle- blowing would be given at once. If there must be a curfew signal, make it a still| alarm. Have the power company flash the news to the children by turning off the current for a second] and repeat it even a second and third time. They will understand ard hasten home and to bed in much better humor than if their ears were assaulted by a blast from a discordant whistle. er OUR ENGLISH COUSINS’ VISIT. We are about to entertain Mrs. Smith-Wilkinson of| Nottingham, England. She is an important guest| when you consider that her income is eighty million dollars a year. That is important to the grafters, turiosity seekers and those fond of basking in the| bright sunlight of abnormal wealth. Our English cousin is some dazzler and when she| lands at New York that old town will wake up and stay awake. She is in Paris now togging up for the rrand parade. She is bringing all the wardrobe trunks| there are on the other side and say, they are stuffed| with fuss and feathers. The Queen of Sheba when| the arrived to visit Solomon, and Cleopatra going up the river to keep her appointment with he af-| fnity, M. Antony, were just as plain drab Quaker| maidens going to prayer meeting in comparison with the splash Sister Smith-Wilkinson will make when she! sails into New York harbor m her own yacht. Guess you don’t know about this British matron or you wouldn’t be so indifferent about her coming. If you did you would get all thrilled up. She has so many clothes that she is bringing a force of fifty live models in addition to herself to display her purple and f d set us Americans crazy. Think of it, one beautiful women all wearing beautiful clothes! And diamonds and gems and things particular censor of public morals finds the He confuses the exposure with the crim: SIA ACTUAL RETRENCHMENT. Secretary Weeks of the war department is show. ing practical economy in his department. He is one member of the administration who is giving evidence of fulfilling the party pledges to the people by cut- ting down the force and saving payroll money. Since March, under the retrenchment policy inaugurated by) him the civilian list in the war department has been) reduced 28,870 persons, representing an annual sav-| ing of $25,408,800 in salaries. | On March 1 there were 90,106 civilians employed at Washington and elsewhere. On July 1 there were 61,736. There will be further reductions the secre- tary assures the public, by the consolidation of vari- ous departments and abandonment of warchouses con- templated in the general survey now in progress un-/age she was sent to Vienna to study der the efficiency plans of the administration. | There is exactly the same opportunity in all the other departments of the government for economy equal to that shown by Secretary Wecks and it is highly necessary that it be seized. Every department was overloaded during the wer and emp.oyes became so numerous that they fairly fell over one another. | tegard for expense was the last thought to enter the| heads of subordinates exere*sing authority. All of} this sort of thing should have been pulled up short) long ago. Secretary Weeks has pointed the way. follow his lead. Let others) oo BROKE AND READY FOR WORK. The wage earners have been going it too strong for the past several years. Their part in the spend- ing orgy has landed many of them on the financial) rocks. In industrial centers wage earners have fur-| nished the highest percentage of cases in the bank- ruptcy courts. The big war time earnings have taken wings and the workers are back to where they be- gan. Not all, but a very great number of them. They are busted and sober and ready to go to work again.| This is getting back to “normalcy.” They had a high old time while it lasted and they couldn’t believe that it would not last always. It does not seem so long ago that the aristocracy of labor lorded it over the plebian employer who was scratching gravel to main- tain the silk-shirted worker in his high estate. It is} reversed now. Somebody else has the worker's money. It is a practical demonstration of just what would| happen if some of the pet socialistic theories were put into practical operation and the wealth of the| country apportioned. The great majority would be| broke in a short time and those from whom it was teken in the first instance would have it back again. ME eS JAZZING PARIS. The doughboy has gone trom Paris but he is not forgotten. His sociological impress still remains,| which acconts for the innovation in the celebration of the French national fete, Bastile Day. Before the| war one outstanding feature which always made an| impression on foreign visitors was hundreds of little bandstands erected at street corners, each containing three musicians discoursing terpsichorean melodies while the populace danced in the street. This year the bandstands, 600 of them, were there all right but a large proportion instead of the traditional three— violinist, cornetist and flute player—contained jazz bands, the personnel of which were made up of for- mer brunette members of stevedure battalions of the A. E. F, Paris is jazz mad and the ex-stevedorians are basking in the atmosphere of the French capital where they are treated as “distinguished Ethiopian visitors.” Many former Alabama cotton pickers and Georgia mule skinners now are riding to work in their own cars. ee ON AGAIN, OFF AGAIN. If the Republican majority in congress desires to get into trouble with the party it will adopt the New England idea of “protection for everything produced by New England and free trade for everything pro- duced in other sections of the country.” The presi- dent seems to have been stung by the idea so far as oil is concerned and to have prevailed upon the house to accept his view. At least the house after placing! a rate of 35-25 on crude and fuel oils reversed itself | and struck the duty from the proposed tariff bill. Of course the bill is not completed and there is con. siderable debate td be had in the house and a whole lot more in the senate. The whole works-may be changed before it is sent to the president to be signe: The oil states will desire to know where the pre: dent gets his inspiration in oil matters, especially, and since when he has revised the party’s doctrine on tar- iff matters as well as the opinions he himself has here. tofore held on that important subject. ee __ The answer to the wise economist who tells us that if we desire prosperity we must extend our foreign markets; is this: In order to sell-abroad, we must produce commodities cheaper than the foreign peo- ple, to whom we must sell, can produce the same goods themselves.
