PROHIBITION AND CONSCIENCE. long campaign airist alcohol in thi country was directed against the liquor traffic,” state the Chicago Tribune. “That is against the manufac- ture for sale and the sale of intoxicating beverages. “From this point of view, with the incontestable evils of the American saloon as the weak center of at- tack, the cause was approved by a large number of Americans who were not teetotalers and had no dis- position to impose their own code of private conduct upon others by force of public law. They recognized the evil economic and social consequences of the traf- fic, and tod: they would support the prohibition amendment on grounds of public policy. The saloon with all its vicious implications is gone, we believe, and, we are glad to believe, forever from this land. The vast industries of brewing and distilling which foolishly though selfishly maintained the saloon are gone and are not likely to be re-established unless a reaction of public sentiment is forced upon the mod- erate majority by excessive and oppressive application of the amendment. “Moderate opinion made prohibition possible. Mod- erate opinion accepted the method of constitutional prohibition because it was directed at a traffic which was producing public evi It accepted it with re luctance, as in some measure infringing private lib erty, because the public social and economic benefits to be expected from prohibition outweighed cons’ erations of private convenience. . “But moderate opinion, which without doubt is’ ma- jority opinion, did not conceive of the prohibition amendment as a me: of imposing a code of mora) eonduct upon the individual. If it had,~there would be no prohibition amendment today. If the amend- ment is so interpreted and enforced, we predict there will be no prohibition amendment tomorrow. “Prohibition zealots draw no such distinction. They are confident of their own rectitude and they are not only willing but anxious to impose its forms upon others, But in so attempting they thrust the cause of temperance into the background and raise a far higher issue, the issue of freedom of conscience, “On that issue we have too much faith in the in- telligence and spirit of the American people to have any doubts. Heedlessly sometimes we permit in- fringements of personal liberty and private con- science. The issue of personal liberty was, in fact, dis:redited in some degree by being used to defend the liquor traffic. But its abuse does not affect reality and the issue of freedom of conscience, which is raised by the attempt to make prohibition cover private life, will be decided as it has been in the past. “If Mr. Bryan or Mr, Craft or any other prohibi- tion zealot can walk into any American’s home and tell him that he shall not put this into his own mouth, because Mr. Bryan or Mr. Craft thinks it is bad for him to do so, Mr. Bryan or Mr. Craft can enter any iAmerican’s home and forbid him to do anything else they do not approve. There is already a movement on Zgot to prohibit the use of tobacco. Mr. Craft is al- thay interesting himself in a movement to compel us all to adopt his conception of what is proper for us to do on Sunday. He or men like him are anxious to prevent us from reading books they do not approve. In short, there is no respect among such zealots or professior.al moralists for the freedom of the individ- ual conscience. “To extend prohibition to cover private prepara- tion and personal use of any beverage is not only breach of the right of private conscience but it a breach of faith with that moderate majority which Joined the campaign against the liquor traffic and by so doing made the constitutional amendment possible. Make that amendment an instrument of tyranny and it will be wiped out as it will deserve to be.” “The BS REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL. The Lander Post shows a commendable spirit of unselfishness in the proposed removal of the state capital from Cheyenne to some point nearer the cen- ter of the state. It is the spirit that makes friends and secures state capitals. The important point, after all, is to remove the seat of government from an in- accessible corner of the state and place it where the greater number of the people can reach it with con- venience. Let the people first say they want the re- moval, after that they will have little trouble desig- nating the spot they would prefer to place it. On the subject the Post has lately said: “Recently the Evening Post attempted to revive the old story of the removal of Wyoming’s state capital from Cheyenne to some more central location. The Casper Daily Tribune very liberally agrees to the proposition and endorses Lander as the preper capital city. shing to be honest in the matter, the Evening Post is willing to admit that the suggestion of Lan- der may have been because of local pride and ambi- tion, but this paper would endorse the suggestion as heartily if the effort was to move the state capital to Casper. With only a 20-minute acquaintance with that thriving city, and with a still more brief contact ith some of its leading citizens, the Evening Post is ng to believe that there would be a great improve- ment and many inconveniences removed by transfer- ring the business of the state to the Natrona county capital city. “The statement of The Tribune that ‘the outrag will be remedied no doubt in less years than many of us at present believe,’ is-encouraging, If this be truc perhaps now is the time for the newspapers and peo- ple interested to get to work at the proposition. Un- less there is some good reason for newspaper and every voter should until the thing is accomplished. “With the greatest of faith in the power licity and remembering the manner in which the now.” See MR. STILLMAN QuITs. James Stillman is about to transfer his divorce case from New York to Paris. His attempt to rid himself of the mother of his four children upon the charge that the youngest child was the soh of a Canadian Indian guide, so he could carry out his purpose of martying a former Broadway chorus girl, created no sympathy for him in American public opinion and very little comfort in the New York divorce courts. Stillman committed two principal errors in his-low flung assault upon the fidelity of his wife. He reck- oned in terms of money to accomplish his purpose, and he came into court with unclean hands. For sev- eral months, between hearings in court, the case was little else than a newspaper duel between the attor- neys for the litigants and pages of very damaging pub- licity to both sides appeared in the public press. The attorneys for Mrs. Stillman had the better the warfare and showed him in such unenviable t that he fled the country after losing almost every im- portant legal point before the court. Stillman is a very wealthy man but he is growing weary of a family row that costs a thousand dollars a day, has driven him from business and is ostracis- ing him socially. The case has been in less than a year, and has cost Stillman more than $300,000. Publicity has practically driven him into seclusion n America so he will abandon his native land and of- fer his domestic linen to some Paris laundry for such ation as is possible for him to get. here is no in America to care very much if Stillman does go to Paris to remain forever. His roperty is holden for such awards of support and ali- money as the American courts have decreed and {t emains under the jurisdiction of the American courts antil final adjudication. 0 pi THE HERO AND THE HEROIC SHIP. It is a very pretty idea to send Dewey’s old flag- nip Olympia to France to transfer to America the emains of an unknown American soldier of the great war to be buried in Arlington cemetery on Armistice Je, There is no prouder vessel in the American avy, new or old, nor one more truly representative ot American spirit and one around which clusters me- mories of more momentous achievement than the old ship upon whose bridge Dewey stood when he iss -he command, “You may fire Gridley, when ready!” It is proper that this be the boat that brings back vo his native land the remains of the American boy who gave his all to his homeland in the hour of ‘her peril. The old flagship did her duty when she led the as- suult on the Spanish navy in Manila bay on the an- niversary of American independence in 1898. She smparted glory to Anierican annals. The unknown voy added luster, to that history in his unselfish devo- «on to the same flag that flew at the main mast of the lympia. The famous ship adds new honor to her illustrious secord when she bears the American hero to his final cesting place among the nation’s distinguished dead. The old boat and the boy are fitting companions on che journey across the sea. paetmt 5 “ RE TO INVESTIGATE GRASSHOPPERS. By all means we ought to have the ninety-thousand- sollar appropriation proposed by Congressman Riker, Jemofrat of California for the purpose of investigat- ng the antecedents, history and habits of life of the rasshopper. It is a bird all of us thirst to know more bout, and when the book is written copies should be sberally sprinkled over the states of Kansas, Ne- oraska, Wyoming and Montana, where the folks will ve glad to learn anything new about grasshoppers the nyestigators may pick up in the course of their in- juiries. The principal things to know about grasshoppers sre already known in the states mentioned which are hat grasshoppers are very destructive and are a jarned nuisance. These two points are well estab- shed after many years of observation and experience. If the investigators can devise a reliable means of oxtermination, the ninety thousand will be readily aid without appealing to the government, by the gen- -lemen who have already suffered loss from the rav- ages of the pesky varmints and expect other visita- ions at future times. There is not so much demand for knowledge of a srasshoppers’ pedigree as there is for a means-of mak- ng a particular climate unhealthy and the scenery distasteful. . ae IT DOES NOT PAY. If Thermopolis is satisfied with the publicity re- ceived out of the fake destruction of moving picture dlms of an Arbuckle production, by infuriated cow- boys acting at the instance of a purity league she is ertainly welcome to the notoriety. The truth follow- ed so quickly upon the heels of the bald-faced lie that for once the lie was overtaken and the perpetrators of the hoax were made ridiculous, The city of Ther- mopolis deserves no such reputation as the incident zives her, and it will be a long time before the con- fidence of the reading public will be given to news items coming from that city, It is not smart and it does not pay to perpetrate ny such alleged jokes on the public. It injures the ing of the associations distributing the reports n good faith, refiects upon the good name of the com- nunity that harbors so cheap a prevaricator and where such disreputable practices can be committed. ht A a OPEN THE FACTORIES. The advice of William McKinley in 1896 when he presented his remedy for unemployment was to open the mills and factories and workshops to the work- men of the United States ratHer than the mints to the unlimited coinage of silver, is as good doctrine today as it was when he uttered it in the day of Cleve- land depression. It is as applicable in the day of Wilson depression caused by waste, extravagance and sudden deflation, and the same appeal for confidence in America and American institutions comes with the same force in his day of business paralysis as it did in the day of long ago. In that former time men fought for jobs and the privilege of earning a living. They are approaching the same situation again. As yet there is still too joy riding and big talk and when it ceases we may hope for resumption of work and business re- covery. eR ES TIE A DRAMATIC BOSTON. “The selling of unemployed men on the Common in Boston,” asserts the New Republic, “is a new illustra- tion of the talent of that city for political dramatiza- n. The Boston Tea Party dramatized the issue be- tween the colonies and Great Britain. The return of Anthony Burns to his master dramatized the issue of slavery, The march of Robert Shaw down Beacon street at the head of his black troops dramatized the ssue of race and color. It is possible that the spec- *acle of men stripped to the waist to show their physi- cal capacity (and in one case at least fainting from alnutrition) being sold for wages may serve to dra- natize the inhumanity, in the literal sense of the vord, of our economic system, and to put public opin- ion behind measures necessary to deal with one tragic aspect of it,” 5 est stone is worn away, the Evening Post is ready just | d. mile 2 at the Lone Star school house. “Hurry up! must wet !

Swift & Company, U. S. A. “What makes the popularity of The Wyoming National Bank?” One man asked this question of an- other at a luncheon the other day, and the other, who carries his account here, told him: “I’ll tell you why I like them. You always find the president of the bank and all the other officers out on the floor looking after the in- terests of their customers. You don’t find them hidden behind closed doors. “Another reason,” he continued, “is the way they treat people. When I started my little account they made me feel like Babe Ruth when he puts one out of the lot, you know what I meanP They treat people like that and I think people like it.” A bank that takes checking ac- counts. as low as $50, or a savings ac- count for a dollar and gives high class service with a smile, must be popular. That is what makes this bank grow. Wyoming National Bank Casper’s Popular Bank
