The people of every community in the land will do well to ponder the consequences of any action of their own either in seriousness or jest which encourages the violation of the prohibition laws, and for that matter law of our state or country, only one safe rule ef conduct um ar any form of government and especially under our own corm, and that is a respectful and rigid observance of all laws. Laws are made for the protection and well- seing of society. It is not for us to say whether they sre good or bad laws. It is not for us to disobey them cause they are unpopular or contrary to our indi- idual idea of what the lew ought to be. They were ii made by persons duly appointed by us to frame em and our duty is clear respecting them.

There is very little more to say in the pr campaign before the vote of the people corded. Whatever may be said at this time will have little weight one way or the other, for it is believed voters have already settled upon a choice for mayor and councilmen. We feel confident that the sober judgment of the people will be for Mr. Blackmore and the gentlemen composing his ticket. After all is « and done they appear best to represent the aspir: tions of Casper citizenship in business ability and civic righteousness. ‘The hour for political explosions and the burning of redfire has passed. Nothing worth while can now be added to what has been submitted for the consia- eration of the people. The laundry work has all been done and the resuli hangs on the line. Tuesday is ironing day when the wrinkles will b« pressed out and things made smooth. Following that, there remains only the job of mu- nicipal mopping up which will conclude our domestic chores and place our house in order. We are certain we will ail feel a higher degree of comfort and faction for the general house-clean- ing we have undergone and will take more pride in our cleanly surroundings. WEL Es TRUTH AND COURAGE. One of the oppositions’ chief criticisms of Warren Harding, when he was campaigning for the presidency was that he wouid be ruled by. the archy.”’ Another was that he lacked courage. The first has been repeatedly disproved by President Harding, and how profoundly false the second was has been proved by his remarkable addre: Birmingham on the race question. No president in the history of. this repub- lic has had the temerity to handle this great domesi: question with the courage and manliness exhibited b_ Mr. Harding on that occasion. His demand for political and economic equality fo: the negro was received in silence by the whites, ac cording to reports, and one writer said: “At the close of the address members of the president’s party were frankly apprehensive as to how his remarks on the race question might be received throughout the south.” Naturally such bold treatment of the subjeci would be received in silence. For decades American statesmen when visiting (ue south have either grace- fully side-stepped the race question, or have attempted to curry favor by damning the negro with faint praise. Roosevelt was perhaps the only man, certainly since the Civil war, who had the hardihood to plead for a square deal for the black man. When T. R. vited Booker T. Washington to his table at the W! House there was a gasp of indignation from the whites” of Dixie and the lynchers and black-bi were thrown into hysteric rage, but this sentimen was succeeded by a second sober thought and Roose velt was the idol of the south long before he pass¢ to his reward. It is much more likely that the people of the south, after they have had time to read and di gest Harding’s address will agree with the terse statc- ment of Alabama's governor, Thomas E. Kilby, viz: “In my opinion Mr. Harding gave a clear and con- servative statement of the race question, and I heart-| ily approve it Of course the Pat Harrisons and the Tom Heftins| will have elements in their constituencies to harangue| respecting the speech, but those whose vision is not focused on a backwoods voting precinct, and are able to consider the subject in its national espect will eventually bear witness ‘ the sanity dent’s conclusions. The crux of hi found in these statements: “Politically and economically there need be no oc- m for great and permanent differentiation, for limitations of the individual's opportunity, provided that on both sides there shall be recognition of the absolute divergence in things social and racial. Men of both races may well stand uncompromisin ly against every suggestion of social equality . . . io| have it accepted on both sides that this is not a que: | tion of social equality, but a question of recognizing a fundamental, eternal and inescapable difference.| - Especially would I appeal to the self-respect of | the colored race. I would inculcate in it the wish to improve lf as a distinct race, with a heredity, set of traditions, an array of aspirations all its own. This suggests to the negro his right and his duty of the presi- address is to be | conference, te good citizenship but we endanger the institution f society. Under our institutions our safety rests, in the final ualysis, upon three things, respect for the constitu- cen, enforcement of law and cheerful acquiescence the registered will of the majority.

Our had ambassadorial rank conferred upon bem and it will be dinners and social entertainment hat will intersperse diplomatic bunk. It was this sort of thing that prolonged the peace enference and made it what it was. it is well enough to defer to certain European cus- oms the entertainment of our guests, but so fa ss the actual business sessions of the conference are concerned we would rather find the American dele- gates present wearing th everyday business clothes, or even overalls, and discussing curtailment of arma- ment and relieving the people of tax burdens, man to man in plain business fashion, than to find them all dressed up in their Sunday clothes sparri: with one another in the stilted language of deception. The armament conference is no place to parade uniforms and decorations, dress clothes and hero tuff. These are the things we are trying to get away rom. It is a business question we are about to tackle and it affects the whole world. Beware the pitfalls into which Woodrow Wilson fell. ts DAUGHTERS OF AMERICA. No fewer than four of the leading European dele- gates to the Washington parley will have their Amer- can wives with them. Possibly, the fact that these iplomats married American women accounts for their election to represent their home governments. It is a well-grounded European theory that a diplo- mat who marri ‘a woman of different nationality is the more valuable to his country on that account. Lord Lee of Fareham, Ambassa: Geddes and Ad- ral Beatty representing Great Britain, and Ambas- ador Jusserand of France, all have American wives. In the home coming of our daughters let us hope ‘hat their influence toward American ideals have re- mained as strong as our own and that they will h ‘heir native land point the safe and sane pathway the world should pursue. oR AE a STILL UNSOLVED. After several months of controversy between the and sev- ral weeks of distraction of the public mind over the hreat of a strike., the transportation problem seems 2 be practically where it was when the controversy nm. Some considerable cuts have been made in but shippers contend that the transpor- cation charges are still so high as tc hamper tra fhe railroads, although making a somewhat gr. net income, are still far from making the average net income which the transportation law contemplate: and are able to show a net income only by postponing needed maintenance of way and maintenance of equip- ment. The labor cost of operating the railroads is still excessive as compared with the total cost of operation if pre-war standards be used as a basis of comparison. Not only is this financial and economic problem still mnsolved but the country still confronted by the ‘anger of attempted settlement of wage controversy v resort to the destructive force of a strike. To all ppearances we have merely postponed final settle- ment of a number of important questions which must be settled before the country can get back to normal. a A SPENDTHRIFT DEBTOR.” The French army budget for next year calls for 40,000 airplanes, They would be organized into 286 regiments, each regiment having 12 squadrons.
