"Your interests and your property are to raise the revenue in taxes for the support of the city govern- ment. Are you willing to place your property at the mercy of'a man as mayor, who will exercise more or less in- fluence over the city council, who never had any real business experience in his life? Whose life’s busi- ness has been to preach the gospel, sell oil stocks and imsurance? Who knows absolutely nothing of public works or public business. Has contributed nothing to the upbuilding of the city. Whose record in coun- cil shows. the most mediocre accomplishment, and nothing done in the interest of the things he prom- ised the people he would do if they elected him. Mr, Giblin is ordinary. Extraordinarily ordinary at that. He possesses no qualifications, no record, no promise that warrant his elevation to the mayoralty of Casper. It is just a bit présumptuous on Mr, Gib-. lin’s part to offer his services to the people to oper- ate a $25,000,000 plant with his limited knowledgs and experience. And it would be a most foolish thing for the people to place him in charge of a business of such magnitude knowing his limitations. It is not to Mr. Giblin’s discredit that he is not qualified to direct so large a business. In some business of which he knew something, he might be a success, but as may- or of Casper he is entirely out of his class. Casper is sick of inefficiency. It is not only costly but it is humiliating and discouraging. Mr. Giblin’s aspira- tions have no foundation upon which to erect such a super-constructure as he and his friends have in mind. Property owners and taxpayers of the city will do well to study the matter of electing a new mayor and council very closely from a business and economical standpoint. There is nothing at all to recommend Mr. Giblin as a desirable mayor; presented by himself or any of his friends. The mere fact that he wants the job and appeals first to the moral element and then to the underworld for support leaves both in doubt as to which master he would serve if elected. Carry- ing water on both shoulders, or running with the hare azid hunting with the hounds is not calculated to in- spire much confidence in any candidate's sincerity. Those who desire a decent condition of morals, a business administration of intelligence and economy, by a man of breadth find experience need not look to Mr. Giblin to supply these things. The taxpayers must take care of themselyes for Mr. Giblin has given no evidence that they are entitled to any consideration at his hands except as a source of revenue. Se THINGS THAT GOVERN. If two million of the best paid men in the country feel that they ought to strike, there is no way to pre- vent them doing so. They have the right to quit their jobs. That will not be disputed. Whatever happens as a result of the strike it will not stop the deflation of wages, that is not-governed by federal law. but by the economic law of supply and demand. Organizations and unions will not be effective in this case because they are not strong enough to halt the operation of this law, and because of the hundred and eight mil- lion of other people directly affected by the readjust- ment in matters of supply and demand. The ratio will be as 108 to 2 including sympathy and support in like proportion. siete ai WAGES VERSUS WORK. “The prospect is,” says Secretary of Labor Davis, “that no one who needs and wants to work must go through the winter without means of livelihood. We are unmistakably on the move back to prosperity.” Reports from many parts of the country bear testi- mony to the fact that men who really want to find work have little difficulty in doing so. While there is undoubtedly a large amount of involuntary unemploy- ment, the totals that are presented to the public from time to time are padded with the count of thousands of individuals who have refused offers of employment because they preferred to remain idle rather than ac- cept a wage below a minimum they had set for them- selves. National prosperity is largely dependent upon the state of mind of the workers. Industry cannot go for- ward while wage-earners refuse to accept employment ata compensation that makes it profitable for the own- er of a plant to keep it in operation. The fact that all indications point to a stimulation of production all over the country is proof of the fact that the work- ers are getting away from the false advice so freely bestowed by their organization leaders, and are will- ing to accept a wage that the supply and demand of the labor market prescribe. ee eee GERMAN WOOL GOODS, A dispatch from Berlin records the German woolen American corp means that fact that 38 id by an option to an entire output.

If he is elected we absolutely MES Goat ESS FAILED IN THE TEST. The surest way to judge a man’s future action is by his past record. Mr, Giblin as a member of coun- cil for the past y has had all the opportunity a sin- cere citizen could ask for to insist upon @ cleanup of the rotten conditions prevalent in many spots through- out the city. He was fully informed respecting the existence of bootlegging joints, houses of evil repute and other illegal and immoral practices. If Mr, Giblin’s vcice was ever raised in complaint of conditions or of the inefficiency of the police force, tipt vote Was so weak that it was not heard and the clerk therefore could not enter it in his record. Itts only of late and then wholly for campaign pur- Poses that Mr. Giblin has discovered that he favors a cleaning out of undesirables. He would do this by retaining the same old chief of police who has made such a miserable failure during the present administra- tion and will continue to do the same as long as he re- mains head of the police department. Mr. Giblin has bed his day in court and he did not improve it. Whet! he could have been effective or not, he showed no sign of desiring a cleaner Casper o¢ a betterment of moral conditions. Therefore Mr. Giblin is to be judged by his failure to fuldll the oath of office he assumed when he became 2 councilman, which was to protect and uphold the laws of the state and the laws of the city. RSENS 8 ERE SEY ARE THE WOMEN SLACKERS? Much has been said on this and kindred subjects of late since women were made the equal of men in privileges heretofore denied them. The Detroit Free Press adds this view: “The ‘emancipated’ women of America are on trial. It is more than an open ques- tion whether, in indulging what some of them are pleased to call an escape from slavery, they are not bringing into question their capability and disposition to distinguish in a practical way between liberty and license. We think that at least most people will con- cede that growth of juvenile delinquency and the new sophistication of youth began coincidentally with the emergence of women from the home into business and professional and finally into political life.

Sometimes—though not always—those who talk most about the duty of wom- en to society and the country are the ones guilty of the most flagrant neglect.” EaaE Sk SINE A DISTORTED VIEW. Mr. Giblin has said, speaking of the innermost con- ditions in Casper and the blame to be attached to pub- lic officials for failure to correct any feature of the rottenne: “I see nothing wrong with Police Chief Sheffner. 4 On another occasion he has said: “I have spent four consecutive evenings on West B street. I see noth- ing wrong, in that locality.” These are statements made direct by Mr. Giblin. The proof awaits any voter interested. The fellow who fails to locate anything wrong with Sheffner ‘as~a»polige-officer and- cannot see anything immoral in the prostitution and bootlézging practiced on West B street is either blind or doesn’t want to see. If Mr, Giblin desires to be the candidate‘of the moral interests of the city he will have to revise moral viewpoint. People favoring better conditions do not look upon his particular slant with any great degree of favor. ——_0—____—_- DIVIDING THE FLEETS. While we talk and hope for reduction of armaments and would pray for the abolition of war we are not 80 unwise as to deceive ourselves as to the date of the arrival of the millenium; and that we are still doing business with nations which do not take our view of affairs and which do not regard us any too kindly. Therefore when the naval air forces have been equal. ly. divided between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, it is approved as. a matter of precaution. Heretofore they have been concentrated on the At- lantic seaboard due to the world war, but it will be the policy of the department in peace times to main- tain practically equal forces on each coast. The bat- tleship fleet already has been divided, the oil burners being sent to the Pacific and the coal burners being kept on the Atlantic, both classes of vessels being nearer their sources of fuel supply. While the inter- national situation in the Pacific is not responsible for the allocation of the air and water forces, neverthe- less in case of trouble in the Orient the best ships of the navy and a substantial part of its air forces would be immediately available for service.

On or about July 24, the house and two or three lots were sold to the Reardon woman by the agents for the Call-Hart tracts. She ordered the ten- ants to vacate, began to haul lumber for the construction of what was the Golden Gate Inn, some time between July 25 and July 80, the resort being completed and “open for business’ about August 10, if my information is vorrect.

I then interviewed Mr. Purcell, county attorney, Mr. Veitch, county commis: sioner, and Mr. Marquis, the sheriff. Mr. Purcell told me to get the evi- dence and he would act.

The less a government spends for running ex- penses, the better its credit. ————$—o—_____— MADE IN AMERICA.
