We go to him with the cor. dial endorsement of leading party men in all po Mons of the state, with already twenty odd of the ablest and most fearless party newspapers urging his a ceptance of the nomination and many others ready to add their declaration at any time.

P ° The ran of the board deprived the young lady believes all of her age are en- petbeires, yadaggr ight to an education in the pub- lic school and the bt to look her best according to her own notion while obtaining it. In order to test her rights her father brought suit against the school board to restore the daughter to school membership. The people took sides tn the fight and much acrimony was developed. In the ensuing excitement the father died. On his deathbed he exacted a promise from the | girl to pursue the fight to the end. This she is doing with the assistance of about half the population of the village. In her suit the girl contends that the constitution of the state of Arkansas provides free tuition for per- sons of her age, and she can only be expelled un- | der the laws of the state for gross immorality, refrac- tory conduct or insubordination. She is asking for a writ of mandamus against the school board permitting her to again re-enter the public schools so that her education may not be impaired. This is the first case of the kind appearing in any court and the outcome is being watched all over the | land, When the courts get through we will all know | whether a girl has the right to powder her nose or not and still attend school. If the Casper board would adopt a similar rule it would make considerable difference in the attendance of girl pupils, and so it would almost everywhere else. So we in Wyoming are raising no face powder or lip tick controversi We are not afraid to face pow- ier but we have a decided preference for TNT. When Arkansas voted for the adoption of the nine- teenth amendment, if she did, she ought to live up to t, not try to abridge so universally acknowledged a right as the right to powder the nose. METS I PROHIBITION'S DEBITS. A writer in the Globe-Democrat has summed up the debits of prohibition out of recent daily news and s illuminating: A New York man who was worth $12,000 when he became police commissioner four years ago has since hat time deposited more than $100,000, A Newark (N. J.) prohibition enforcement agent nfs been fined $5,000 and sentenced to three years » prison for extorting a large sum from a man cused of violating the Volstead act. The Binghamton (N. Y.) prohibition enforcement office has had to be reorganized, the faithless being ousted to make room for another personnel that, it s hoped, will prove trustworthy. Chicago’s police force has been accused of. profit- y winking at the breaking of dry laws. Our own Louis police, Mr. Shupp has said, are not in sym- o»uthy with the Eighteenth amendment. Just where can sincere.sympathy with that amend- | t no Republican newspaper that will oppose him. " The Republicans of Wyoming have long realizeu. the necessity of an ¢! of their affairs. They are weary urged and crowded upon them new and unnecessary ment be found? Such instances as the Joplin preach- er who turned bootlegger, or the Oklahoma City po- ficient business administration] lice chief who resigned because of his confessed in- and sore of having| ability to compete with the booze vendors, creep into the news because of their jocular twist. But there expenses in the form of experiments. They are tired| ‘s nothing jocular in the spectacle of judges ques- if bei verned by commissions while state officials Stall in idleness. They want the men elected to state office to perform the tioning jurors as to whether they will convict in iquor cases, nor is there anything’ humorous in the work the constitution and the] vociferations from various official quarters that pro- laws prescribe they should and not strain it through | hibtion must be enforced “because it is the law.” some aid society. They want officials to devise ways and moans to reduce the state’s expenditures as well as taxes upon the people, instead of urging increases in wastefulness of the peoples’ substance for foolish frills. ie The people of Wyoming who have weal gy affairs with any degree of diligence kno’ that a half million dollars could and should have been cut from legislative appropriations at the last session. They know that instead of this the executive did urge and did insist upon embarking upon s visionary and costly scheme of so-called law enforcement and the retention of useless and valueless appendages in the form of commissions; and employed the power of the administration and the force of official lobbying to further such ends. The people of the state are well- informed of the fact that every whipper-snapper of a clerk, let alone the heads of departments, commis- sions, bureaus and lend a hand societies deserted the duties for which they were hired by the people, dur- ing the last session of the legislature and pulled and hauled and scrambled for appropriations to keep their little old dinky governmental appendages in existence and themselves a job. This sort of thing is not gov- ernment for the people. It is government against the people. It is not in accordance with Wyoming governmental notions, in times of depression or at any time. It is useless to look for wisdom and efficiency where they do not exist. Is it then any wonder that the people of Wyoming have turned their thoughts in the direction of a man like John Hay, whose record is one of splendid ac- complishment? In whom there is instant hope of bet- studied their silly subterfuge of the indolent and unknowing, that The United States, however, is not alone in its pro- hibition troubles. Norway is finding difficulty in naintainirig its restrictions, mild and even tentative 1ough they be in comparison with our 99% per cent verboten. Liquor smuggling has developed into such wn industry’ in Norway that the Storthing has voted | ‘w{ ‘8 approval of the order in council issued by the gov- srnment last month to extend the territorial waters, as ‘egards customs, from the three-mile to a ten-mile imit. That such act will precipitate international :emplications is acknowledged, but that horn of the lilemma seems to be considered less uncomfortable ‘han the other. Graft, unemployment, impairment of character, meering or ugly contempt for authority, lawlessness n an unprecedented scale—such are the debits to be vas in the balance against what credits may be sonjured by meaningless tistics in behalf of pro- hibition. It is a dreary, sinister accounting. ee HOW HONEST ARE YOU? “In the light of present economic uncertainty and vital concern in speedy rehabilitation of the country as a whole,” observes the San Francisco Chronicle, ‘each individual citizen owes it to himself, as well as o the nation, to give his best thought and earnest en- ijeavors to adequate solution of the common problem. "t is up to each and every one of us to get down to brass tacks and to eradicate the evils responsible for notoriously bad conditions. “A serious indictment may justly be lodged against is funda- mental principles of plain, old-fashioned honesty. Learned men may quibble over elaborate theories and ter things?

Who would not foolishly proclaim that ‘Wyoming had reached the importance of spending a half to three-quarters of a million more than neces- sary for biennial expenses. No, John Hay would take a large, ugly and wicked pruning knife and cut state expenses. He would demand abolition of all the orna- mental commissions and sinecure jobs and bring things back to a working business basis with less force and more efficient and intelligent work. He would relieve the people of Wyoming of bur- dens, not pile more upon their backs. Do the people of Wyoming suppose for a single it with a man of the capacity of John "sc re would ever have erable highway fiasco as the state nessed the past two years? Is it not about time for the people of Wyoming tc wake up and face squarely the humiliating situation? Is not the Republican party big enough and brave enough to lead in good works for the peoples’ in- terests? If so, then iet us demand of John Hay, our biggest and best citizen, that he make the personal sacrifice for the people who have loved and honored him for thirty years and now need his help to place their fis- cal affairs upon as sound basis as he has placed his own. air —_o—______ THE RIGHT TO POWDER THE NOSE. “The wearing of transparent hosiery, low neck dresses or any kind of clothing denoting toward im- modesty; the use of paint, lipsticks and all cosmetics are hereby prohibited.” This rule promulgated by a board of school trus- divided the set neighbor and gener- ally disrupted social and business relations, church in court, caused death and no one predicts what may yet hap- pen before orderly village life is restored and peace tees of 2 village in rural Arkansas has population into two hostile camps, against neighbor, relative against relati: and school affairs.

This poser, which remains un- answered, although the inference of the court's attitude was that a donkey is entitled to at least as many bites as a dog, was presented in the Chey- enne police court when “Doe” Whit- more, colored, complained that Jim Setteler, (also colored), his name to the contrary notwithstanding, had re- fvred to settle for an invasion of Whitmore's fleld by Setteler’s donkey and a felonious assault by the donkey on Whitmore's horse. Inasmuch as a biting dog {s eliminated fer the pro- tecUion of society, Whitmore demand- ed that Settler's donkey be treated likewise, but Setteler (who essumab- ly had sought legal counsel although “e was not represented by counsel), and state prohibition law: David H.
