While the ‘ink was not yet dry upon our kind words discounting the action the faithful of Platte county were assembling to break bread and pass resolutions. Both were accomplished with con- erable enthusiasm. “We felt all along that something of this character would be necessary to induce the senator td modest- the front of the stage and Riper, nomination”; and now that Platte county has done her duty it is incumbent upon the wild warriors of Sheridan, Johnson, Big Horn, Converss and other counties to demonstrate their loyalty and make it so strong that the senator can find no chance to escape the honor they fain would confer upon him. 4 During the holidays, may not be the propitious time for passing resolutions of endorsement and commen- dation, Dut after the Christmas dinner dishes are all washed, wiped and put away, democracy may with entire propriety devote attention to the unfinished chore of launching Senator Kendrick’s boom. In this labor of love, staunch patriots like Nels Pearson, Theodore Diers, Hayden White, J. C, O'Ma- honey, Wade Fowler and others will bear a promi- nent part. a ee THE CASPER PACKING PLANT. ~Tt was only a few months ago—early last summer, to be exact—that four brothers came to Casper from Montana. They purchased a site, asked no favors or bonuses and proceeded to erect a packing plant. Noth- ing much was said about the matter and all the pub- lieity that ensued was in occasional local items in the newspapers respecting progress in building the plant. The men concerned in the enterprise were but slightly known in the city. They were apparently too engrossed in their undertaking to form wide acquaint- anceship. Time went on and a few weeks ago the Casper Packing company opened for business and their products came on the local market. It was only then. that the public opened its eyes to the realization of a new and valuable industry in the. city. Not that the people are familiar with the completeness of the plant for few have as yet in- spected it. If they do, they will find one of the most modern, sanitary and best appointed plants of its kind in the country. The only difference between the Cas- per institution and the famous Chicago concerns is in size and capacity. Nothing is omitted in the Casper plant that will contribute to the economical and sanitary slaughter- ing and marketing of live stock for food. All of the scientific conveniences are at hand and operation goes like clockwork. To the novice it is a revelation to follow the handling of a beef steer from the slaughter- ing floor through the several transforming processes and cooling rooms to the market and delivery floor. You forget entirely the initial steps, in the perfection of the finished product as presented to you at the counter. The present daily capacity of the new plant is 25 head of beef, 50 50 sheep and 50 hogs. The sausage room delivers a ton of sausage daily. A scap-making department is to be added later. The products of the plant so far are absorbed lo- cally and the livestock used are secured locally, One advantage to growers of livestock has already ap- peated in the brief experience they have had in sell- ing to the local concern, The net proceeds to the grower over shipping beef steers to Missouri river or Chicago markets have averaged from $5 to $6 per head higher. + The value of a home product, already apparent to the consuming public, will be more and more appre- ciated as time goes on. This Casper packing plant is an institution designed for making money and keeping it all at home, ‘It is worthy the support of every loyal citizen who earns his bread in Casper and makes this city his home. And the men back of the enterprise—Victor, Otto, Charles and Herman Niethammer, deserve your unlimited con- fidence. et WHERE CITIZENSHIP IS TAUGHT, Of recent days it has been brought home to the Cas- per public that the community cannot be termed a moral one. The fact has been very generally admit- ted- For moral guidance of the community the .chureh is depended upon; and the more active the churches become, the greater number of people brought under their influence, the less vice and crime appear. The law corrects and punishes. The church anticipates and prevents. Locally there is a peculiar condition. The community expanded so rapidly, and population flowed in from everywhere in such num- bers, that the churches were not prepared to answer the requirements. With possibly two exceptions they are not prepared today to do this adequately. Not presenting equal attractions, consequently the drift has been from the church and toward worldly things. It would be unfair to blame the church for it has la- bered at a disadvantage, in finance, housing, public interest and influence. The world has offered more attractive invitation. These things, in brief, explain to an extent the immoral corditions complained of in the community. What is most needed in Casper is an era of church building and a revival of Chris- tian religion. and at the same time a reaching out and bringing inte the Sabbath schools of the city of all the children of school age. The hope for the future is not in the adults but in the rising generation. They ~ must be brought within the influence of the church, through the Sunday school. They must be taught from their earliest years the right and the wrong. The ad- vantages of right,Jiving and the errors of wrong liv- ing. They are the ones who will be responsible for the future character of the community and what we fail to accomplish in moral well-being they will pur- sue and complete. And their influence for good be- gins with the time they align with their primary Sun- day school class and grows with the years they con- tinue along the same pathway. The value of the Sumflay school to the’ community cannot be overestimated; and one of the strongest arguments ever advanced on behalf of the Sunday school as an institution for good is contained in the statement of Judge Fawcett of the Kings county, New York court, who deals only with offenders over 16 years of age, when he addressed an offender as fol- lows: “In the five years I have been sitting on the bench, I have had 2,700 boys before me for sentence, and not one of them was an attendant of a Sunday school. Had you gone there, I am sure you would hot be be- fcre me today.” \ What is true in Judge Fawcett’s jurisdiction is true in all other jurisdictions. The Sunday school may fall into disuse in certain communities, it may even be sneered at in others; but there never was a better institution devised for pro- ducing good citizens. It matters not whether it be, Protestant, Roman Catholic, Hebrew or other sect, the lessons taught are altogether for righteousness. And no boy or girl was ever the worse for attendance at Sunday school during childhood and youth, or in- jured by continuing his attendance after he had reached his maturity. Which is a great deal more than can be said for the employments indulged by vege be seem to feel no need of attending Sunday school. If the people of Casper would pause long enough to’ give their public welfare serious consideration, they would go to work the next morning to building churches, with plenty of Sunday school room; They would build them with an eye to architectural beauty. They would make them so attractive and comfortable that the parents and the children would want to at- tend them and would make personal sacrifices to do so. Get the people into the churches and the children into the Sunday schools and iniquity will become un- popular in the community; and there will be an end to so-called “immoral conditions.” The Sunday school and the church have always been and still remains the great factors in producing and maintaining the moral tone and general decency of any community. PSB Ba WAR ON THE INTERIOR, The Spokane Spokesman-Review is showing the public the injustice of the request of transcontinental railroads in their appeal to the interstate commerce commission for reduction of freight rates to Pacific ecast terminals at the expense of the interior terri- tor: The Spokesman-Review thus states the case: he transcontinental railroads are asking the in- terstate commerce commission ‘for authority to slash freight rates to the Pacific coast terminals, while at the same time keeping up war-time freight rates to all parts of the interior. A series of hearings before an examiner of the commission is now in progress. The first hearing was held at Chicago November 17, and the last scheduled hearing is for New York, Jan- uary 16. Other hearings have been held or will be held, at Denver, Helena, Salt Lake, Boise, Spokane, Portland, San Francisco, Reno, Atlanta; Ga., and New Orleans, . “If the interstate commission should grant the ap- plication of the railroads, the whole interior country { would suffer a staggering blow and its future growth be retarded incalculably. “As no great manufacturing concern could con- tinue to’ pay war-time wages while - its competitors were allowed to cut their wages to a peace-time basis, so no community could go on prospering if it should be compelled to pay war-time freight rates while its competitors were allowed, even in large part, to re- turn to pre-war freight rates. “Between June 27, 1917, and September 1, 1920, the railroads of the United States were permitted to make four general increases in freight rates. These increases, according to the bureau of railway eco- nomics, totaled on the average 78 per cent in 1921 over 1915. If the transcontinental roads are given permission by the interstate commerce commission, they will maintain these excessive rates all over the| interior, but at the same time will reduce terminal rates from 20 to 50 per cent, “The gross injustice of that proposition requires no argument. fi y i “Moreover, it is a wrong national policy. The rail- reads are proposing these low rates at the terminals in a purpose to engage in a rate war with the ships. The amazing spectacle is thus presented of the own- ers of the privately owned railroads going before a public agency, the interstate commerce commission, asking for authority to engage in a ruinous rate war with the ships of the American merchant marine, built and owned by the American people at the enormous. outlay of nearly $4,000,000,000. @ “No sound reason can be advanced why the Amer-|, ican people should allow the railroads to drive their ships off the seas or out of the harbors. Quite to the contrary, it will be sound, national policy to make the fullest utilization of the transportation services of the nation, the ships as well as the railroads, and not al- low one to destroy the other. “The sooner the natural division of service between the railroads and the ships is brought about, stabilized ané@ protected by law, the better will it be in the long’ run for the railroads and the nation. If a part of the transportation service across the American continent can be more economically performed by the railroads, they are entitled to take that service. “It is equally truo that if a part of the transporta- tion service between the east and west coasts of the United States can be more economically performed by the ships, it will be to the ional interest to allow the ships to render that servict “The present law lays down the broad, general prin- cipal that the railroads should not be permitted to charge more for service to interior communities than they charge to the coast cities, for the longer haul. That law, however, permits the interstate commerce commission to make exceptions to the general rule, and the roads have seized upon that provision in the law to ask permission practically to-nullify the law. “The Intermediate Rate association, comprising: more than 200 commercial bodies, farm organizations, mining societies and manufacturing associations, is fighting with fine spirit and grim determination against the proposed injustice, These protesting associations. cover Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Washingtoh, New Mexico, Utah, California, Oklahoma and Wyoming. They will seek justice first before the interstate commerce commission. If justice should be denied them there they will carry their righteous case to the high courts. In the meantime, they will go to congress and the president, with a determined demand for the enactment of an absolute, unqualified long and short haul clause that will expressly prohibit the railroads from charging more for the shorter service to the interior than they charge for the longer,-haul to the coast terminals. re “This fight is of tremendous import to all the peo- ple of the vast interior, It deserves and should have their enthusiastic, unflagging support.
