Blake Kenneay to the fed- etal bench will create a vacancy in the chairmanship of the Republican state committee, for it is not cus- tomary for high judicial officers to remain in active politits when they have assumed the duties of office. Itis presumed that Judge Kennedy will call the state committee together very shortly and present his resig- nation. There is but one logical successor and but one name should be presented for the chairmanship. Hon. G. R. Hagens of Casper is the person. He is the present vice chairman and next in succession after Hon. Frank Hadsell who does not desire the chair- manship. It is understood that a number of the members of the committee have signified their desire to support Mr. Hagens and view him as the ‘best equipped man in the state, thoroughly in touch with the political sit- uation and conditions, and enjoying a wide acquaint- ance and popularity throughout the several counties. Mr. Hagens has been a member of the state com- mittee for the past six years and the chairman of the Natrona county committee for the same: length of time. He has been not only active but extremely ef- fective in campaign organization work, and the splen- did results in Natrona county and state as well have been due in part to Mr. Hagens’ skill and knowl- edge of politics. He has never held public office and never desired it, preferring rather to serve his party as a worker for the general good rather than for advantage for him- self. It is not believed that there will be any other name presented, than that of, Mr. Hagens. A chairman should have the confidence and support of the whole party for he needs it’in discharging the difficult du- ties of the office. iy At this time and at. all times a great deal depends upon the ability of the state chairman and the Re- publican party has been uniformly fortunate in be- ing directed by very able men. Mr. Hagens, if the committee sees proper to select him, will prove no exception. f sfB SRE EEE AN EMINENT AMERICAN. Men of the quality of Philander Chase Knox do not eccur often in a generation and their departure leaves a vacancy that is seldom filled. He was one of the nation’s greatest citizens and served his coun- try well. At no point in his career did he fail to com- mand the love of his countrymen and at all times the highest respect of his political opponents. It does not happen to all great men to be command- ed:to so many high positions under their government and*in each render such conspicuous gervice. Wher- ever placed Philander Knox was a true American. His country first. The nation bows in grief. pat. SE CER NECESSITY OF TARIFF. Sound business judgment suggests’ that the tax measure be expedited and that an early revision of the tariff along protective lines be put through con- gress as the next great step toward the desired gen- eral prosperity and settled condition of business. It is true the United States has an enormous fa- vorable trade balance and that even if we continued the present tariff law which encdurages importations, it would be some time’ before other nations could ‘sell us enough goods to wipe out the balance. But it is also true that American workmen cannot live on a trade balance, and if we are to buy abroad we must curtail home production in corresponding. degree, with consequent closing down of American mills and discharge of American workmen. Nothing could be clearer than this statement of a very vital fact in our economic system. It is an- nounced that German woolen mills are planning to operate at increased capacity and that they have made contracts for the sale of their output in the United States. British woolen and cotton mills have found a large market in this country. Since there is a limit tothe American consumption of goods of this kind, it is manifest that for every yard of foreign-manufac- tured goods used here, there must be a yard less of home-manufactured goods produced. If there is less cloth produced here, there must bs less employment of American labor, there must be less purchasing pow- er among the American people, there must be less tax- paying power here, there must be less comfort and happiness. + We do not understand that Republican leaders pro- pose the enactment éf an absolutely prohibitive tarif? on importations of foreign goods. Stch a tariff pol- icy has never been advocated by Republican leaders and has never been enunciated in Republican plat- forms. What Republicans do favor is an import tax that shall represent the difference in cost of produc- tion here and abroad, thus placing tho American en- terpriser on an equality with his fureign competitor. When thus placed on an equality, the American pro- ducer can and will take care of himself. Ie will con- tinue to operate, continue to employ American Jabor and ‘continue to pay taxes to locai, stafe and national treasuries. This matter cf taxation is one that must not be over- looked. The United States government, the state governments, look to the American business men for the greaver part of their revenue. Public institutions and public works cannot be continued without rev- —— and public revenue cannot continue unless there Prosperity in American business—American pro- duction. If we are to close part or all of our mills and buy abroad, our money abroad to pay foreign la- bor and foreign taxes who is to employ American labor and pay American taxes? These payments cannot be made out of favorable trade ac- cumulated in the past. “The American farmer cannot Fee Bgiia nthe at Ree ee ducers of ‘in, cattle, wool, fruit, nuts, ete., from abroad. Neither can the American farmer prosper, even if protected from foreign competition, if wage earners in our cities are thrown out of employment and their buying power is destroyed. The truth of this statement is so self-evident that no argument is necessary to support it. ok The earlier the return to protective principles in tariff the better for the business interests of the|ies don’t you country. . “That doesn't have anything to do with talking stars, that I can see,” said Mary, “they are entirely differ. ent.” ‘Children, Bobbie, Mary, it is bed- time, come “in now,” called mother, and the children obeyed promptly.

When the people by 7,- 000,000 majority. voted a Republican president into power and gave us 24 majority in the senate and 150 majority in the house, it is our business to consult to- gether, and it is our business to pass legislation in ac- cordance with the wishes of the peopl id the prom- ises which were made in the last campaign, and that is precisely what we are going to do.” —— aS Ce UNITED STATES PRODUCTION. According to censts reports the production of the United States for the year 1920 reached the stagger- ing total of $63,000,000,000.. An average of 9,103, 200 wage earners were employed last year in the 289,. 768 manufacturing establishments of the country, whose capitalization totaled $44,678,911,000.'

Uncle Henry was a sailor and had been nearly around the world, and had such wonderfully interesting things to look at. He elways brought some- thing to Mary and Bobble, who loved him very greatly. You could © not guess in a hundred years what was in their surprise packet this time; or at least, neither Bobbie nor Mary could guess correctly. Anthens was severely bitten and re- ceived several bad lacerations of the scalp. Several stitches were required to close the wounds, which will cause no permanent injury.

John’s Wood Pres- byterian church, died last night. He never dream. Uncle Henry was tell- ing Mary all about this when she eud- denly asked for the story of the talic- ing star. “I was just ready to tell you that,” sald Uncle Henry,” It was from a temple much like this one in India that I Lepened. to the talking star, And this Is the story he told.

There are free traders who still talk of surrender- ing this vast market to the exploitation of foreign producers. Our domestic exports in 1-20 totaled $8,- 000,000,000, leaving a total of $55,000,000,000 worth to be disposed of in the home market. The aftermath of war had so handicapped European competition as to act as a proxy for a protective tariff, and yet we imported in excéss of $5,000,000,000 worth of goods that year. Under a continued policy of free trade and the restoration of normal conditions in Europe, this enormous market, would be a prey to European and Asiatic competition, and our producers could not find a domestic market for their goods, let alone a for- om market.

NUT IN A PINCH Babe Ruth went to bat a week ago $$ OPODDMRDANDDIDRUDRURSRUGODALEODURLODDDDDDI PDD ARII AND COMES NOW “AGENDA.” RANT Friday with the bases full and wecattia word ‘agenda’ ix having what theatrical, ftk S cracked out a hit that brought in two distes and haberdashers might say that ‘agenda’ is ‘in runs. He was there with the needed vogue.’ Other persons might say that ‘agenda’ is ‘al’ | hit in a Pinch. the rage.’ It is a leading word, a very prominen: | word, and never seems to make its appearance in it: singular number, which js ‘agendum.’ “Before the world turned to ‘agenda’ it. was ‘sim- ply crazy’ over ‘allocation.’ It became popular dur- ing the war in connection with ships and loans, The ‘allocation’ of shipping and the ‘allocation’ of loans came to be current phrases. The senate called on Mr. Wilson for information as to how he had ‘xilo- cated’ certain funds. In a newspaper story about an operatic benefit it was said that ‘the allocation of boxes is to be based on the size and date of the con- tribution.’ ‘Allocation’ is so closely allied to ‘allot,’ ‘assign’ and ‘apportion’ that the shipping and treasury authorities might just as well have said the ‘allotment’ of ships and the ‘apportionment’ of funds. But words come into fashion as do styles in socks and neckties. “And now it is ‘agenda.’ The words ‘programme’ and ‘schedule’ and the phrase ‘order of business’ are passed over. ‘Agere’ to the Romans meant to man- age, conduct and perform, and ‘agenda’ were things that were to be done. Later it came to have the spe- cific meariing of things to be brought before a com- mittee or council. “Welcome, agenda!” St aE EP ee SENSE OF HUMOR. ‘The American sense of humor has been the #av- ing grace of the nation,” observes the San Francisco Chronicle, “‘and still is. We have plenty of evidence. Things that would cause revolution in other countries we can call to mind fail to disrupt our nation because they make us laugh. Take the Eighteenth amend- ment, for example.. And looking around the world we can see revolutions and disturbances that would have died-a bornin’ if the people among whom they started had been blessed with the strong American sense of humor. What was it that made partisanship sink be- fore the proposal to put Charles G. Dawes in charge of the budget? Partly realization of the need and his abilities, but largely the appeal he made to the American sense of humor when he was before an in- vestigation committee. What is it keeps the Amos Pinchots, the Bryans, the Reeds, the Alice. Pauls, the Comstotks, the Pussyfoot Johnsons, the Bergers, the nuisance taxes and congress from giving us a na- tional nervous breakdown? Why, the American sense of humor. It’s a grand thing and it’s still on the job. _. One of our customers, on the same day, was offered a chance to buy a half interest in a growing business for $500 cash. He had the money in a savings account. He had been two years savingitup. — MORE THAN PLACE As -DAN cE f -TONIGHT-—8 P.
