Not because of the destruc- tion of property but because of the destruction of this particular institution. It has long been a festering sore. Conducted by one of the most depraved dis- reputable and notorious characters whose presence disgraces the city of Casper and pollutes the very at- mosphere ‘that surrounds her. Her record is sufficient to drive her from any com- munity. Neither Sodom nor Gomorroh would have sheltered her. It is doubtful if she will be welcome in Hell. For many years this underworld scum has conducted joints in Wyoming. At Cheyenne, Rawlins, , Guernsey, Lusk and Casper. Some of her places have been openly and notoriously known for encouragement of association between the white and negro races, while all of her piaces have been known for the most degenerate and revolting practices. Herself a con- victed white slaver, reeking with loathsome disease, she has been suffered to conduct her so-called busi- ness in this Christian community. None will regret the passing of the Golden Gate Inn. The fathers and mothers of this town may well offer thanks for the chance spatk that caused its de- struction. It was in this very hell-hole that move than one young girl met her ruin. Lured by procurers for alleged entertainment they were not only plied with rotten liquor but they were robbed of their chastity and their valuables. It is time now to relieve the city of the presence of the miserable old heifer who has made these things possible. Casper must take the same action Rawlins has taken with reference to her. Deny her the privi- lege of living in the community. Her business, her joints and everything concerned with her are contrary to both moral and statutory law. Away with her, and away with her quickly. ase hake eT DESTROYING THE CORNERSTONE. William Hale Thompson, mayor of Chicago, has had a lesson which he may sit down and think over, with much profit. It ought to take a little of the wire edge off William’s temper and make a better mayor and citizen of him if such is within the pos- sibilities. At least he will not again seek to remove the cor- nerstone of all modern government when he gets peeved. His suit for ten million dollars ageinst the Chicago Tribune, on behalf of the city of Chicago, as alleged damages, claimed against the newspaper for impairing the city’s credit, by reason of publications reflecting upon the city’s financial condition and its manage- ment under the mayor's direction, was dismissed. The case rested upon the right of free speech and the court's ruling added strength to the principle in- volved. The city’s right to sue in such circumstance as exiwed was denied, while the plaintiffs as public offiicials were reminded that they had all the remedy and protection required by the laws of libel. The court suggested that the power of a newspaper to injure a community or a public official is limited by the degree of public favor it enjoys. If a news- paper persistently misrepresents the facts, shows animus unfairriess or spite, it destroys public con- fidence in itself and its influence over public opinion is small. That is all the protection necessary to a public official conscious of performing his duty. It would be a most dangerous and destructive power to place in the hands of public offfcials—the power to si- lence a newspaper that exposed or criticised public acts. The mayor of Chicago is not now and never will be big enough to abolish free speech or suppress the honest opinion of newspapers. ES Ba oo AS a OFFICIAL PEACE. The senate’s approval of the treaty of Berlin negoy tiated by the American state department with Ger- many, Austria and Hungary establishes final peace with the central powers and ends a technical war sit- uation that has existed since the armistice was signed almost three years ago. It remains now to exchange ratifications and establish diplomatic relations with the several powers, when commercial and social rela- tions will be resumed under the terms of the treaty. Ratification of the treaty marks a signal victory for the American senate and ends one of the greatest par- liamentary battles of history in favor of senate con- tentions. It also establishes for all future time the constitu- tional right of the senate to participate with the pres- ident in the making of international treaties, and de- stroys the Wilson theory that the senate’s powers were merely perfunctory and it was bound to ratify such agreements as the president saw fit to enter into. ode WHY IT IS THUS. “Complaint of the quality of the congress is heard everywhere.’ That is the way the Minneapolis Jour- nal speaks of an institution of the government we all would like to honor. The reason is it lacks able lead- ers, men of real statesmanship, men of practical ability. The great trouble with this congress is that it was primary-picked. It largely selected itself. The small man is a better self-pusher, a better hand-shaker, a better attendant on his district’s small political de- sires, a better hustler for local handouts, The able man, the big man, is not strong on these things. How, under the present method of selection, are we to get the strong and able men ihto congress? This is a problem that now faces every Republican ¥ district in the-country. If a score or even a dozen of really big and practical men could be sént to congress next year, it might get saving grace enough to cause it to function with more efficiency. How, under an unaided primary, are we to get yeast enough into congress to make it rise to the occasion? —_— OC TRUTH IN JEST. Hon, A. D, Kelly of Cheyenne has spoken a great truth in jest. And it often happens that way. Mr. Kelly was addressing a local society assembly the other day when he said: “We've got a nonpartisan judiciary, and a nonpartisan state school system, and @ primary law which makes the whole state nonpar- tisan, and now they’re trying to give us a nonpartisan league. The sooner we abolish everything with a non- partisan name attached to it, the better it will be for the state.” 0 lees LANDER FLOUR. Answering further, the Lander Evening Post’s com- plaint with reference to marketing its surplus stock ,of flour and the apparent lack of friendship and co- operation on the part of Casper, it is suggested that representatives of Lander’s manufacturing and busi- ness interests should mak point to call upon Cas- per merchants and wholesalers and present their case as is usually done in such matters. We are sure an opportunity is presented in the weekly meetings of the Casper Chamber of Commerce to establish very close relations between the business men of the two communities. Casper has frequently| | gone to Lander. Let Lander as frequently come to Casper. And let Lander see to it that Casper learns more details about what she has to sell. Casper is using to large extent flour manufactured pithin the state, There is no reason why Lander flour is not sold here as well as other brands made else- where, if it is good flour and is sold at as fair a price. - RAAB eras DS THE SIZE OF THE HOUSE. “The house deserves great credit for shelving the Siegel reapportionment bill,” states the \New York Tribune, “Mr. Siegel and the group behind him are very persistent. In the last congress they reported a measure increasing the house’s membership from 435 to 483. This expansion was not planned in the inter- est of the states which had shown the highest percent- ages in growth between 1910 and 1920. These states are not seeking larger numerical representation in the house. Expansion was asked for in the interest of the slower-growing states, the delegations from which fa- vor such a manipulation of the ratio as will diminish no state’s existing representation. “Personal politics is behind the Siegel method of apportionment. From the public point of view it has nothing to recommend it. The dilutions since 1890 have lowered the house's efficiency. An increase of 48 members, advocated last winter by the census com- mittee, would have added about $1,000,000 to the house's overhead operating cost, The more reasonable element in both parties combined to beat Mr. Siegel's 1920 bill, It was amended so as to do away with any increase in membership and then sent over to the sen- ate. There influences hostile to it accomplished its burial, although it is customary for the senate to ac- cede to any plan which the house may adopt in the process of regulating its own domestic affairs. “The census committee trimmed its sails this fall. It asked for an increase of 25 members, instead of 48. The added cost of overhead was reduced from a million to half a million. Yet in principle the new bill is as objectionable as the old one. It puts per- sonal interest and convenience above public considera- tions. The house recommitted it on Friday by a vote of 146 to 142, which showed a sound reaction against the census committee leadership. But a motion to re- tain the present membership figure—-435—was beat- Deby 146 yptes to 14 tithe fight. against increaea ish’t over yet. It can be won if some of the conspicuous ‘economy’ ad- vocates in the lower branch, like Mr, Mondell, will practice with regard to this useless increase in house offices aud salary accounts the name Spartagy severity they have practiced toward similar increases clse- where,” ' EAE La Wie THE TRUSTED ADVISER. _ Since lives of great men remind the less great that it might have been different, it is worth while for the youth of America to give more than passing attention to the footprints in the sands of time left by Philan- der Chase Knox. The high lights in the career of this statesman are fly stated: Assistant United States attorney for the western district of Pennsylvania 1876. President Pennsylya- nia Bar association 1897. Attorney general of the United States under McKinley, 1901; reappointed by Roosevelt and served to 1904 when he resigned. Appointed to United States senate to fill vacancy caused by death of Matthew Stanley Quay, 1904, and elected for senatorial term 1905-11, resigning in 1909 to become secretary of state under President Taft. Re-elected to senate March 6, 1916, to succeed Sena- tor George T. Oliver, Received 68 votes for Republican presidential nomi- nation in convention of 1908. Refused attorney gen- eralship during McKinley’s first term. Twice refused Roosevelt's tender of appointment to the United States supreme court. Prominently mentioned for appointment as Secretary of state under Harding, but preferred to remain in the senate. Was trusted adviser of four presidents—McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft and Harding. Successfully prosecuted the so-called “Northern Securities case,” pronounced by constitutional authorities to be the gravest and most important issue presented to the supreme court since the determination of the problems growing out of the Civil war period. This broke up the notorious Hill-Morgan railroad merger. He secured the extra- dition of Greene and Gaynor, who had fled to Can- ada with large sums embezzled in connection with b: government contracts in the harbor of Savannah. Can- || ada refused to extradite them and Knox, acting in direct conflict with an opinion of Sir Edward Clark, leader of the British bar, took an appeal to the privy council in London, which rendered an opinion in fa- vor of the United States and established a precedent in international law. He acquired title to the Pan- ama canal for the United States and did much to strengthen our relationships with the Latin Americas. He originated the plan to neutralize the Manchurian railways, which was defeated by the opposition of Russia and Japan. He gave a dignity to “dollar diplomacy.” He was irreconcilably opposed, as an American and a senator to the Wilson league of nations. ‘Knox will see through it,” wrote Lansing from Paris. In , the debate on that matter he proposed what has been eferred to as the “Knox doctrine,” namely, “If a situation should arise in which any power or com- bination of powers should, directly or indirectly, menace the freedom and peace of Europe, the United States would regard such situation with grave con- cern as a menace to its own freedom and peace and Arould consult with other powers affected with a view ‘to concerted action for the removal of such menace.” This was not acted upon by the senate. He was one of the authors of the round robin resolution which served notice on the Versailles peace conferees that the league could not hope for the required vote in the senate and that the treaty should not include it. He was finally the author of the peace resolution, amended somewhat by the house, which officially: terminates the war. Philander C. Knox will be remembered as one of ‘the foremost statesmen of the age in which he lived. LSSE ONE Sasa! ‘An admittance tax of $8 a head is charged for per- sons entering Mexico.
