It expects Lander to become the largest city by t ling down of the populations of the other Wyoming cities that at pres- ent outnumber Lander. Of course it all depends upon how thoroughly the other cities clean house. The one certain way to make Lander the unquestioned metropolis is for her to bid for the discard of the other cities where the cleaning out peocess is in opera- tion. Casper is willing to contribute quite a tidy number and it is assumed that Sheridan, Cheyenne and Laramie would be equally liberal. This may not be quite in line with the Post's idea still it will make things more definite and certain. This is what the Post says about the matter: “Without any strenuous efforts on the part of the people of Lander there is a prospect that this will be the most populous city in Wyoming, if the programs. being arranged in other cities are carried out. At Cheyenne, Sheridan, Laramie, Casper and other of the larger towns of the state, strenuous efforts are being made to clean up these cities. At Caeper the woman of the streets and the houses of prostitution are be- ing driven from the city. [f the job is thorough and they are all driven from the cities mentioned, that should leave Lander Wyoming’s most populous city.” m5 FORGETTING THE WAR. +t is quite the American temperament to forget or at least crowd into the background the unpleasant and bitter experiences of life. We prefer the sunshine and the pleasanter things of life. It is our nature and we would not change it if we could. We are not in- sensible to the serious things nor do the lessons of bitter experiences go unheeded. We simply decline to go bout all clogged up with ugly and distressing remembrances, when there are sunshine, flowers, mu- sic and laughter to be had. It is bad enough to de- scend to brutality when we are compelled to do so be- cause there is no other way out of it. And even then the world has admitted that we are the most excel- lent fi s it has ever seen, Equally cheerful in a become a Wyoming fight we are at play. An English cousin, Philip Mansfield, calls us sharp- ly to account, after a tour of our country when he tells us: “It seems a strange thing, but we really heave for- gotton the most terrible war of all times, and the war has been over scarcely less than teo years. Perhaps I should not say we have forgotten. I will put it this way: We just do not remember. That is all. We do not remember the war. We don’t want to remember it, seemingly. We want to forget it. “At this time, of all times, I think it is a tragedy that the people of England, or of America, or of France, or of Belgium, or of any country should for- get. Of course, there is less reason for France to for- get, or for Belgium, either. England, too, bes its re- minders in the way of wounded soldiers, and so has America. Yet on my travels throughout this country I was amazed to note the great indifference to any reference that might be made of the war. Attending a moving picture show in one of your western cities I was more surprised to note a total lack of enthusiasm when pictures were thrown on the screen showing places in France where American beys fought and ac- tually fell in death. There was just a ripple of ap- plause. “It is human nature to look toward the sunshiné and away from the clouds. War certainly brings clouds. Therefore we are perhaps to be forgiven if we look away for the time being, but the sad part of it all is we might be looking at the sunshine while another cloud is gathering in back of us. We should look and be prepared for the next war.” Our cousin does not quite grasp the American psychology, that is all. His criticism is delicate and kindly but we are disinclined to brood over things that cannot be helped and things that have passed. We take no delight in misery and get no thrill out of mis- fortune and sorrow. Moreover, “pulling the hero stuff” is no more to our liking. All of this is done, past and no longer the problem of the day. We want to get away from it. There are other and better things to do. - WHATEVER IS, IS WRONG. “We learn from an eminent educator,” observes the Philadelphia Record, “that free thought may be strangled in its cradle if the schools go on teaching that whatever is is right. ‘Cut and dried opinions on practical matters are almost sure to be wrong.’ We are warned that ‘we nced new progressive leadership of the most liberal kind to save the world from revo- lution. It can come only from the younger genera- tion now in school and college.” “We had imagined that free thought was long since out of the cradle, and that it was making quite as mueh noise and knocking over quite as much of the furniture as was necessary to avert stagnation. Per- haps it is in its cradle and in danger of strangulation, but, it is hard to believe this. What difference there is between ‘progressive leadership of the most liberal kind’ and revolution we do not know; they are so near- ly identical that we might as well be damned by revo- lution as saved by ‘progressive Jeadership of the most libera’ kind.’ “But there is no doubt that if we need progressive leader sh p of the most liberal kind we can only get it from ‘th nger generation lege.’ They are not hampered by any experience. n school and col-| They are not fettered by any knowledge of history. Their opinions have no historic background. “But if we ere to sit at the feet of infants, what is the use vf teaching them anything? It is for them to teach us, if we need their leadership. Let us in- vert our ind instead-of sending our young to be taught, wait till the adults are 50 or 60 and then send them to colleges to be taught by the rising gener- ation, which rises Lecause it has no ballast, and in which new thought and progressive schemes may al- ways be found. “Out and dried opinions on practical matters are almost sure to be wrong.’ In other words, experience disables the community from establishing habits and forming opinions. Whatever is is wrong. Wipe out everything that the world thinks it has learned by try- ing an infinite number of experiments, and do some- thing that has been tried repeatedly and has never tailed to lead to disaster. The old are not likely to do this. The burnt child dreads the fire. The child that has not burned its fingers is the only one Who can in- fuse us with advanced and untrammelled thoughts about heat, “But then there is difficulty in the way; how are we going to select the fresh and unbiased in- fant minds that are to teach us? If the schools are to teach what most of the community believes, it is comparatively easy to know what is to be taught, But if. what most of the community believes is almost cer- tainly wrong, how are we to pick out the teachers? What are the qualifications for an instructorship? Are we to fill the professorships with those who can shout the loudest that whatever is is wrong, and who are the most violent in supporting the things that have failed and the most ingenious in inventng new fash- ions in thought and Velapi =ctice? “Are we to learn u:e road te progress from Russia, and accept Mr. Voliva’s belief in the flatness of the world?” Pe ERE SRY BP A DESTROYER OF INDUSTRY. “The income tax, aside from being tremendously complicated, is-a destroyer of initiative and enterprise and a breeder of discontent with wage earner or large corporation,” is the opinion expressed by the Invest- ment News. ‘A war-time measure, it has no place— at least in its present form—in peace days. All ini- tiative is repressed by a threat constantly hanging over the head of industry. No matter how honestly or how efficiently accountants, hired by a concern, make reports there is always the possibility, and not infrequently the probabil that some government sccountant will find flaws largely because his own pi ticular system of accounting is not always followed. At any moment such a man may step into the office of the corporation, demand to see all books, and for some indefinite time literally turn the place topsy turvy while making examinations. “This interference with the business routine of a corporation not merely disarranges a smooth running machinery, but discourages its executive. They find themselves helpless and very much at the mercy of an autocrat, who, although it may be temporarily, hoids tremendous authority and can ca’ much trquble. “The power to tax is the power to destroy. Too much taxation bleeds a business white. What initia- tive or encouragement is there left to the enterprising business man when he feels » perpetual threat is hang- ing over him? Business prospers best when left un- disturbed, The touch of bureaucracy is the touch of death. It blasts as it goes. The average business man wants to be let alone; to work out his own destiny. Government perpetual interference is like the stran- glehold that in time will choke business life. Thou- sands of business men, crushed in spirit today and hesitating to embark upon a broader field of com- mercial expansion, would instantly. spring into the game again were this stranglehold of a tax system, onerous and discriminatory, to be removed at once.” THE UNFOUNDED |FEARS OF: JAPAN. One thing the Washington convention on limitation of armaments will do if it does not accomplish its whole purpose of cutting down the enormous appro- priations of the nations for naval and military estab- lishments and that is to disabuse the minds of the people of Japan of the fear they have of American de- cigns and supplant it with the good faith and good in- tentions the American people have toward the people of the island empire. As to the present situation in Japan the New Re- public says: “The fear in Japan of America’s superior resources is already immense. Japan does not occupy a very lurge space in our foreigh hopizon.’ America almost fills the entire horizon of Japan. It looms as large to Japan as Japan in turn to China. It is practically im- possible for an American outside of Japan to realize how enormous the fear is of the United States, and how fear breeds suspicion and incipient hatred. The dread may seem to us most unreasonable and _hys- terical. Much of it isso. But it exists, and it is con- stantly cultivated and employed by the militarist party in Japan to strengthen its hold on public affairs. , In connection with the racial discrimination issue it is tht chief political asset of the imperial general staff.” EMPLOYING NATURE'S POWER. “Homesteaders, waiting for the train in the Coeur d’Alene country in northern Idaho, while away the time by reading on a placard on the station wall, the following short but dramatic story,” observes Les- lie’s: 3 “On the Mountain division of the Milwaukee rail- road 61 electric locomotives . have . supplanted 162 steam engines at an annual saving of 300,000 tons of coal and 40,000,000 gallons of fuel oil. With a max- imum grade of 6,322 feet, a 3,200-ton train is hauled with comparative ease over the Rocky, Bitter Root and Cascade mountains.” This enormous amount of power, only part of that which is used for lighting and other purposes in the same neighborhood, is made by merely takiug ad- vantage of the tumbling of water down hill. One of the romances of the next decade or two will be the harnessing to a greater or less extent of the Colorado river, which goes roaring and foaming through what used to be practically inaccessible can- yons for hundreds of miles.. Already the Califor- nians are talking and workihg on this problem. Other states which have riparian rights on the river which the Californians have not, will wake up to fighting for their own. It will be a long and complicated battle, but the power now going to waste at the bottom of that marvelous canyon, down which Major Powell and his party ventured ox their trip of discovery in the 70’s, must sooner or later be put to useful work. A ao Be ALL BOOKED UP. The conference on unemployment recommended, among other things, that “private houses, hotels, of- fices, etc., can contribute to the situation by doing their repairs now.” One difficulty with doing them now is that appeals to repair men bring the response that they have all the work they can do for several weeks ahead. 0. TO HEAR HIMSELF TALK. The fact that criticism of the Republican adminis- tration is practically limited among the Democrats to a man of the caliber of Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi is proof of the dearth of political material with which the Democratic party is equipped. Were there any substantial ground for complaint against the par power the conservative and able members of the cou would not hesitate so to inform the Their silence complutely sets at naught the irresponsible charges voiced by the radical Harrison.
