This day is one of high importance to the people of the world. Not only does its recurrence mark the suspension of hostilities in the world’s most terrific war but it witnesses the gathering of representations of the princpal powers of the earth to formulate plans for the neding of all war. If the convention shall have a reasonable success a new era is established and November 11 will mark a page in history of far more consequence than the mere laying down of arms in a world war. Of the day itself, in the present, it will-be devoted te tribute to the acts and deeds of soldiers engaged in the great conflict. The nation bowed its head in silent prayer for its sons and daughters sacrificed, and over one of its un- known sons a solemn ceremony has been held in com- memoration of the mighty valor and cheerful service of all its patriotic children. And in all the celebrations held throughout the land today this note will be heard—it shall not be again. pS Es CANNOT BE SUSTAINED. Senator Watson of Georgia is another gentleman who apparently has opened his mouth and put his foot into it. His charges that American soldiers were free- ly shot and hanged in France during the war without the formality of court martial are nowhere borne out by records of the war department, or the testimony of officers and men who have thus far spoken. The American Legion has been appealed to for any testi- mony that can come from its ranks, confirming or re- futing the statements of Senator Watson. Senator Watson, himself, his presented no evidence worthy of the name and is inclined to quibble over the manner and form in which evidence or testimony shali reach the senate. It is altogether likely that ‘he Georgia senator has ‘een imposed upon by greatly exaggerated and wholly false information which led him to make his sensa- tional charges in the senate. ; Surely no such facts as have been alleged could have been kept secret from the men overseas who ‘were present at the time and are now private citizens In the first place the Georgia senator is making « charge that is wholly un-American in character and repugnant to American military methods, and one that we do not believe can be sustained for a moment. —————__o—___ TELEPHONE IN WORLD POLITICS. “The suggestion that a system of telephone cont- munication,” asserts the Globe-Democrat, “may in time connect countries widely separated by land and sea is plausible, however great the impediments, for the principle of the new amplifying device, as ha been demonstrated in the transmission of presidential addresses, gives to the human voice powers not real- ized before. Were it not for imperfections that might limit such a system, once established, diplomatic re- lations between nations should be simplified and world problems made easy. Could not Lloyd George and Briand discuss the Silesian question in a quiet tele- phone conversation after breakfast, or a conference on disarmament be convened by merely setting up a connection? Such things may be possible, but dif- ficulties beset the w: After ringing Edinburgh, would be exceedingly disconcerting to be given a ‘wrong number in Bombay or Hong Kong, not to speak of the babel of tongues that might ensue. And the task of running down a name in an international tele- Phone directory would be colossal.” —_———_~0. THE DESIRE FOR PEACE. If permanent peace is ever to come to the world it will have to be from a profound desire on the part af all of us to be sane. Not only Americans but Euro! peans, Asiatics, and all other races and peoples. No one nation alone will ever lead the others into the de- sired pathway. If the several nations composing the strongest group, like America, Britain, France and Japan, can be brought into accord there would be but slight difficulty wit the minor and remaining powers. The effort of the Washington convention is appar ently in this very direction with America pointing the way. eee Be “AN ABOMINABLE THING.” _ The champion short speech of the senate this 228- sion and the most sensible and fearless on the subject was delivered by Senator Hiram Johnson of Califor- nia during the tax revision debate. Senator John- son said: “Mr. President, I desire in a word to ex- press my attitude upon this bill A tax scheme which Treguires one army of experts to teach honest People how to pay what is due the government, and which creates another army of expérts to teach the dishon- est how to cheat the government, is an abominable thing; and when in addition this scheme if unequal, in- equitable, unjust and discriminatory it becomes not only abominable but intolerable; and it is because I think the pending bill is of that kind that I listen 5ym- pathetically to any alternative. Iam prepared, there- fore, to attempt almost any alternative which may be Natrona --.-18 and 16 All Departments Se Chicago, Globe Bidg., Bar oilered to tos bul, which has met with such univer- sal condemnation.” The senator, true to form, does not hesitate to con- demn both Republican house and Republican senate, but at the same time in his attitude toward the meas- ure under discussion he voices the opinion of the con- stituents of many senators and representatives who have less courage. ee AN IMPENDING CALAMITY. Dr. Austin O'Malley, noted anthro-pologist of Phila- delphia says that within two generations there will be no blondes in the United States below the forty-fifth parallel. Even the Scandinavian population of Min- nesota will not be able to cling to their fair skin and light hair. The American race is gradually growing dark and in time will be almost Mediterranean, and the future type of American beauty will be the brunette. Prepare, O ye devotees of the light, ye worshippers e fair! For darkness is about to descend upon will cover the earth and be upon the face of p and woe will be everywhere south of forty- ihe blonde will be no more. This angel of yes and sun-kissed hair will survive only be- en forty-five and the Aretic circle—in heaven and a the dreams of poets and the pictures of painters. The type that has driven all worth while men wild with desire for possession, from the time of the his- orical Helen of Troy to the day of the Pollyanna of iction, is to vanish and leave only desolation and hope- fulness by her going. She has wrecketl the” hopes and lives of countless -housands. She has tossed her graceful head and war ind destruction have ensued. She has smiled and aen have laid down honor and fortune. One glance from the azure depths of her lovely eyes and the rich- est jewels of all India repose at her feet. She has made great havoc upon old earth but—we cove her, we worship her. She cannot do anything more to us than she has done to other and better men —make fools of us. And who wouldn’t ight to be foolish about a blonde? Even when she is banished north of forty-five she vill not languish in loneliness and waste her loveli- 1ess upon that wilderness—we will all be there pros- rating ourselves and offeriug adulation at the same old shrine. an THE ARMY OF HOME OWNERS. “Of 24,861,676 families discovered by the census- takers in the United States,” says the Boston Tran- script, ‘10,866,960 are reported as owning their Somes. More than a quarter of the entire numbe: of families are credited with the ownership of home: on which there are no encumbrances; while 4,059,951 vmilies are represented as engaged in the slow bu. arifty process of lifting the mortgage. There is food r thought in these figures. “At a time when many people are disturbed by con itions that they look upon as endangering the stabi! -y of American institutions it is well to-call atten on to the saving value of the army of the home own- s. With nearly every other family holding title to > own home, and with more than half of these fam .es owning homes free from indebtedness, it is evi ,ent that there is here a mighty force which will bc Lirected in the main toward the preservation of goo government. It is reasonable to assume that the hom owner will not be slow in detecting and resisting movc nents that tend to imperil his property interests, wo. nm many cases at the cost of much effort and seli denial. ‘The figures suggest, also, the great opportunity for ionary effort among the 13,000,000 families liv in rented quarters. Under the conditions of moc + \ life, great numbers of people must necessarily b srived of the advantage and satisfaction of ownin cir homes, but among the renters of the present da) e many who will be among the home owners of the rrow. Their number will depend in large measure on the efforts that are made to educate them to a Jization of the benefits to come from home owner. ip, and upon the facilities that are placed at their mmand for obtaining homes of their own. There is this educational work great opportunity for such ganizations as the Massachusetts Society for the romotion and Protection of Savings. There is equal portunity in the assistance that may be etended by operative and savings banks and other- financial in- tutions which loan money on real estate security. ‘But there are other factors to be taken into ac- unt. Of immediate interest is the question of the of building. Reduction to the lowest level at- nable after reasonable recessions in wages and the rices of materials would be a powerful stimulus to ome owning, and so would be assurance of approxi- nate stability in costs. Few men want to put their 1oney into homes at a time when they have reason believe the houses.could be reproduced in a year »t two for much less money. There are, too, elements in the situation that are not directly connected with building operations. Transportation between cities nd suburbs must be efficient in service and not bur- tensome in price, because the home-building enter- orise involves a considerable movement of popula- tion from crowded city neighborhoods into the broad- er spaces of the outlying districts. The existing shortage of homes makes this an opportune time for uch migration if it can be brought about. There is also need, perhaps, of laws, such as those now possi- ble under the constitution of the commonwealth, to prevent the deterioration of residence distrets through the invasion of business. “The problem of getting the largest number of the 12,000,000 families of rent payers to embark upon home-owning ventures is thus sgen to be one of many spects, but it is one well worth solving. And it is reassuring to find that, notwithstanding the crowding of the population into the cites, nearly 11,000,000 families in this country still occupy homes that they can call their own.” oo FOOLISH TALK. All talk of a contest of the election occutring in Casper Tuesday is folly. There is no basis for such a proceeding. Nothing of a fraudulent character was perpetrated and it would have been impossible with the polls guarded by active challengers representing all parties at interest. And aside from this the judges and clerks were men and women of honor and would never have been imposed upon by wrongful practices. If it is simply a case of squawking on the part of defeated candidates to cover their chagrin let it pro- ceét to the hearts’ content of anyone desiring to get his feet wet by any such foolish undertaking. By the time any such contest could be carried to final conclusion in the courts the term of the contest- ed office would have expired the service of the suc- cessful candidate on the face of the returns and what would avail? —_—_§_o—___ Mr. Harding’s Thanksgiving turkey will come from Mississippi this year.

Richard Shipp, Esq., worthwhile poems. They have had genuin merit both as regards ‘sentiment and expression and have been accepted and widely published. Mr. Shipp writes for the sheer pleasure of writ- ing, because the song is in his soul. The most worthy recent effort is giv- en below, “Our Hero Dead.” So de- serving of acknowledgement do we consider it that we propose to~ the newspaper fraternity and the newspa- per reading public of Wyoming that we create the office of Poet Laureate of Wyoming and tender to Mr. Shipp the high honor of First Poet Laureate In acknowledgement of the pleasure his gifted pen has afforded all of us. The title is hereby conferred and the editors of Wyoming will file approval of the action at their convenience. Herewith is presented a portrait cut of the poet and the poem that suggests the bestowal of the honor. WYOMING'S POET LAUREATE E.

Kelloggs Grn Flakes _. In a letter received at the Cham- her of Commerce, Governor Carey “I wish to acknowledge re- celpt of resolutions passed by the Chamber of Commerce en- dorsing the proposed legislation au- thorizing the United States to enter into a joint agreement with the Do-} minion of Canada to build a deep ship channel from the Great Lakes via the St. Lawrence river to the sea. I might say that I am heartily in fa- Yor of this being done as it will mean opening up new markets for the prod- ucts of this state and a decrease in freight rates is to be, expected.” The following resotftion on the Great Lakes tidewater project was unanimously adopted by the Chey- enne Chamber of Commerce and copies sent to the Wyoming delega tion In Washington: Resolved, That the improvement of the St. Lawrence river which will give ocean-going commerce access to the Great Lakes, will immediately | benefit the productive ability of t of Wyoming, bringing our peo- @ thousand miles nearer to their eastern markets; And, That we urge upon our sena-! tors and representatives in congre: thelr earnest support of such meas ures as will give effect to this under taking at the earliest possible ment.
