A candidate is in pretty hard lines when he has nothing to present on behalf of his candidacy excep* the character of the gentlemen who signed his peti- tion of nomination, That is exactly Mr. Giblin’s po- sition. He can show no single qualification, no busi- ness city, no special knowledge fitting him to be- come the mayor of Casper. He depends upon the re- spectability of his petitioners, not upon his own. We all know how easy it is to find men willing to sign anybody’s petition enabling him to“rpn for of- fice. It is a mere matter of form and does not sig- nify even that the signers will be supporters of the ecndidate. , The character and respectability of the signers is in no sense imparted to the candidate by the mere act of signing. And so Mr. Giblin is running for of- fice on the reputation of others. If they can stand it Giblin ought to be pleased. It will be a pretty cheap way of riding into power, if it works; but the voter is not willing to accept Mr. Giblin on any such terms. They will want to know what sort of performer he will be without the sus- taining character of his signers. They want to know it he is honest, clean and straight, above graft and low cunning in his dealings. Whether he is sincere or only pretending to desire a cleaning out of dis- reputables and disreputable practices. They will take his service in council for the past year and they will take his spoken word upon the platform and see if they can make them dovetail. They will have some job. SOME SPANISH ATHLETE! What sort of Bul] Durham is Mr. Giblin projecting in his pretended purification palavering? Ask Mayor Pelton or any member of the city coun- cil if he ever stood up in his place in that body and pleaded for a betterment of conditions, ever asked for more. vigor on the part of the police department, ever exhibited the slightest concern for the welfare. of the children and the homes of Casper or its moral reputation as a place in which to live? ‘These men will tell you they never heard a word cut of him on any such subject. Never heard him ut- ter a word or syllable publicly or privately until he became a candidate and sought to take advantage of the wave of disguest the people had siarted over open disregard of law and decency rampant in the city. Hypocritical sniveling is the only term that fits the Giblin position on ‘the moral issue. ism at the conference. If any is made it will bring to us the deserved contempt and increased hostility ‘of the world. Have former Officer Hibbard pass him the moon- shine. Sie te a a a EE WHO IS ROACH? The Douglas Budget remarks that if the picture of immoral conditions is drawn true to life the city of Casper is in need of a change of administrations. And farther advises: “Better send for Roach. He has fin- ished cleaning up Glenrock, Careyhurst and the rest of Converse county and should now be free to tackle areal job. When he is through and turns over a lily white town to a lily white administration everything will go along swimmingly—for a month or two at least.” Who is this Roach person? There was some talk along last spring about a person by that name being placed at the head of some law enforcement proposi- tion or other. What ever became of him and his val- jant sleuths? Are they operating at present or haven’t they yet got into action? Did Roach unearth the moonshine still on the Carey ranch? If Roach is a cleaner up, why is he not cleaning? ‘There is real work to be done in every city and county in the state, but when any“of it is done local officers do it. Just what is Roach expected te do, anyway? (SEATS te a WHAT ABOUT IT? If the Veitch “outlaws” as Pastor Giblin calls them, do not throw the insult back into the teeth of the shepherd and make him eat it, then they deserve to wear the title. If they are law-abiding citizens, as their platform implies, and desire the welfare of the city through good government, they will not rest un- der any such opprobrious characterization. If the Veitch party is composed of “outlaws” they are unfit to be trusted with the city government, and the people should be warned. The people have no such impression of Robert Veitch as Mr. Giblin would give them. However, it is Mr. Veitch’s business. he pleases about He can do as ap SSE PROHIBITION AT CONFERENCE. “The prohibition leaders are said to be determined to compel the delegates to the peace conference to ac- cept teetotalism while in the United States,” observes the Chicago Tribune. “We do not think this repre- sents the will or spirit af more than a very small mi- nority of Americans. Ityis a piece of bigotry, pyre and simple. It is not only not necessary to the cause of compulsory temperance. It is injurious to it, for it offends hospitality, comity among nations, and com- mon sense. “The delegates will come and go. They do not rep- resent in their customs, any more than in the polit- {cal forms they repfesent, American principles or ideas. The English, Italians and Japanese represent motarchies. Many have titles of nobility prohibited by our law. t would be no more sane to require them to dispose of these than to forego their social its out of respect for our theories. “There should be no concession to bigoted teetota- But if fanatical prohibitionists will not consider that result, they might, at least, for the sake of their cause, respect the certainty that their atti- tude will be resented by most self-respecting Amer- jeans and weaken the cause of prohibition accord- ingly. SEE a ee Ee. GONE TO OBLIVION. Former Vice President Marshall continues, at times only, to radiate cheerful philosophy and solemn truths. The most notable of the latter is—“the league of nations has gone glimmering into oblivion. It was a schoolboy’s dream of an hour; but nevertheless a great ideal.” Sure, it was all that. Instead of being a schoolboy’s dream of an hour it was a school profes- sor’s dream of several year, and, we presume, it is still being dreamed by the same professor. Of course the league was a great ideal. World peace has always been a great ideal, and always will be, but it must be approached by practical means, one of which was not the league of nations. The essence of the league was force—peace was to be forced upon the world. From the moment the theory of peace by force was permit- ted to dominate the contrivers of the league, their plan was doomed to failure. President Harding’s armament conference will pro- ceed on a principle, the direct anti-thesis of that which dominated the league commission of the Paris peace conference. Representatives of nations seeking to remove the causes of wars so that armaments may be limited will group themselves about a conference table, and seek to arrive at mutual understandings re- garding international controversies. They may suc-/| ceed and they may net, but at any rate, the world will! have the benefit of the exchange of views, and can lose nothing. If the copference fails, its members will) returft to their homes, and their governments will be} no worse off than they were before the meetings were called. But if, as is confidently anticipated, mutual concessions bring mutual agreements, the world will have benefited immeasurably by a lessening of bloody wars and by reductions in the burdens of maintaining huge armaments. In the league of nations every member was com- pelled to surrender sovereignty to a super-state to be coerced by that league covenant. In the armaments conference all th: There is no abdication of sovereignty, no threats directed at those who may violate amy agreements entered into. That is the spirit of the meeting, and that is the spirit which, it is confidently believed, will insure its suc- cess. Se a THE EXPORT OF FOODSTUFFS. The present year, nine months of which has gone into the record, shows a continued large export of foodstuffs. Three times the pre-war average for breadstuff, twice as much for meats, twelve times the dairy products, twice the dried and canned fruits and a large increase in vegetable oils. Considering the exports of breadstuffs for the first nine months of 1921 and for the same periods from 1910 to 1914, inclusive, and it will be found that dur- ing the pre-war periods our average of wheat was 84,- 000,000 bushels, compared with 296,000,000 bushels for the 1921 period; corn went from 33,000,000 bushels, pre-war average, to 107,500,000 up to Sep- tember 30, 1921; rye from 971,000 to 25,500,000 bushels; rice from 24,000 00 to 489,000,000 pounds; barley from 6,000,000 to 20,000,000 bushels, total breadstuffs from 7,768,000,000 to 23,774,000,000 pounds. The pre-war export of lard averaged 388,000,000 pounds, but it reached 716,000,000 ending September last; bacon went from a pre-war average of 136,000,- 000 to 855,000,000 pounds for the first nine months of the current year; hams and shoulders from 128,- 000,000 to 188,000,000 pounds; total meat products 879,000,000 to 1,590,000,000 pounds. Wegetable oil exports totaled 238,000,000 pounds up to September last, compared with a pre-war record of 198,600,000 pounds; the largest increase was in cottonseed oil, from 179,000,000 to 220,000,000 pounds, Dairy products show exports of condensed milk to haye attained an average of about 13,000,000 pounds before the war, ‘and 224,000,000 for the period ended September; butter from 3,300,000 to 6,600,000 pounds; cheese from 3,850,000 to 10,400,000; total dairy products from 20,000,000 to 241,000,000 pounds, In the dried fruit line, apple exports pre-war and for the 1921 period stan out the same at a trifle under 15,000,000 pounds; apricots went from 12,500,- 000 to 17,800,000 pounds; raisins from 8,000,000 to 11,000,000 pounds; peaches from 3,456,000 to 4,188,- 000 and prunes from 23,000,000 to 68,500,000 pounds, The aggregate of dried fruits before the war was 62,- 000,000 pounds, and 116,000,000 for the 1921 period. Canned fruits increased from a value of $2,258,000 in pre-war days to $9,300,000¢ending September; can- ned fish from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 and canned vegetables from $1,000,000 to $2,471,000,000. It is to be expected that food exports will show something of a decline during the ensuing year be- cause the fields are again being utilized in Europe to supply the wants of the people of that continent, but the showing for this year is quite satisfactory, while the emergency tariff law has well performed its func- tion in protecting the American farmer from too strenuous competition from abroad, on those commod- ities which other nations can produce cheaper than they can be produced here. ' ae Ee THE BATTLE LINE OF FINANCE. When knighthood was in flower, waging war was a comparatively simple matter. After levying on each baron for a certain number of men-at-arms, a ce: tain number of horses, a certain quantity of fora; and food and so on, the feudal king set blithely fort! leaving the civil population to shift for itself. Cre it institutions were unknown in those gallant days, and nobody worried about advancing price levels. Modern wars are more complex, and they are fought as effectively in the home trenches as in the front lines. The manipulation and manufacturers of credit are as vital as the maneuvers of armies. The strat- egy of Wall Street was as important during the world war as the strategy of Chateau Thierry, and not with- out its drama, although next to nothing was known about it. “Now,” as Sir Philip Gibbs would say, “it can be told.” For the full facts have just come to light about the operations of the Federal Reserve bank of New York, which was to the financial forces of the United States what Pershing’s headquarters were to our arm- ies in France; and the despotic power exercised by a semi-secret and extra-level “‘money committee” in New York has been clearly revealed. At one period this committee supplemented funds on the New York stock exchange to avert a collapse in security values; at another time it withheld funds to avert an orgy of speculation, and its autocratic control was not lifted until persistent public opinion demanded it.—The Na- tion’s Business. EAS RS ee eet THE GROSS DEBT. The gross debt of the United States on September 30, less the balance on hand, was about $23,166,000,- 000. That figure is $486,000,000 less than the debt on the same date in 1920, and $2,312,000,000 less than the peak of the war debt, reached on August 31, 1919. The figures show that we are steadily return- ing to a sound financial basis, a process that is being materially hastened by the drastic economies of the present administration.
