All of this occurred before the United States rail- road labor board was created. Then, while the board Big Four, supported by Samuel Gompers, issued an- other strike threat. And it brought a $600,000,000 wage award from the board. It is only this last— and half of that—which has been cancelled by recent wage reductions of railway employes. slican candidate for governor at next year’s primary.) iThe Record says editorially: ; : | “John W. Hay of Rock Springs, is being prominent- fly mentioned as the man likely to head the Wyoming] ‘Republican state ticket at the next coming election. {The least that could be said of Mr. Hay, judging by ‘the marked success he has made of his own business| jaffairs, is that if he is called to the governorship of | ‘this great state the position will be in capble, com-| fpetent and trustworthy hands. From telegraph op-| Serator to bank president, and president of the Wyo- ing of the record he has made, and the fact that he} *has been both employe and employer suggests that he “knows something of life from ‘everyman’s’ standpoint. “Mr. Hay is primarily of, and for, the west. He settled in Rock Springs in 1883, and since that year his name has been closely associated with the commer- cial life and development of Sweetwater county. He understands Wyoming, and the needs of Wyoming people, as few men do, and he possesses the ability to jhave done the things he believes ought to be done. He is, above everything else, an able business man. He believes in efficiency and organization—but he is not 8 politician. ; “Many newspapers, individuals and organizations throughout the state are asking John W. Hay to be- come a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, at the primaries to be held next August. The appeals are becoming so frequent that they amount ‘almost to a clamor,’ as one enthusiastic pa- per says. The following from the Douglas Enterprise is typical of some of the press comment: \ “Myr, Hay’s success as a business man is unques- tionable. That he has won that success through fair- minded and broad-gauged business methods is gospel truth. There were times when he permitted himself to be mentioned for public office but hé has hereto- fore withdrawn from the race, always in favor of someone whom he believed would fill the bill just as well or better than himself. Just what his attitude will be in this campaign is not known, but it is cer- tain that if he listens to the pleadings of his number- less friends throughout Wyoming he will accept the proffered honor. Should he decide upon making the race for the seat of the chief executive those who know him well claim that he will surely win against his opponents. He is, without doubt, the strongest man in Wyoming today.’” ee THE BRIGHT PROMISE. | It was John Milton, who, more than three centuries| ago, said: “Peace hath her victories no Jess renowned than war.” And while the poet had no thought at the| time of applying his thought to the American nation,| his lines are particularly apropos. | While a considerable share of the first 145 years of our national existence has been devoted to war, and| in it we have acquitted ourselves with credit and honor, it has been in the peace periods of the repub- lic that we have earned our greatest glory. Historians of the present day find many parallels in the periods 1914-1920 and 1805-1816. Wilson, like| Jefferson, preached democracy and practiced autoc-| racy. Wilson, like Jeffersca, was confronted with a situation where “an American ship might refuse to be| searched and in consequence be blown out of the| water.” Efforts were made in 1806 to bring England| to terms by some means short of war, and Monroe} end Pinkney negotiated a treaty in London which Jef- ferson refused to accept as satisfactory. ‘He ought) either to have accepted it or to have prepared serious- ly for war. He did neither.” A similar situation con- fronted Wiison with respect to Germany, and he fol-| lowed Jefferson’s example. Wilson, like Madison, at| length “‘timidly and reluctantly yielded” and “thus there fell upon his shoulders the unwelcome, ill-fitting task of leading in war.” In 1816 James Monroe was chosen president by an overwhelming vote, and four| years later he was re-elected with only one electoral vote against him. The eight years under Monroe's administration were commonly called “the era of good feeling.” : The “era of good feeling,” from 1816 to 1824 was national. An era of good feeling from 1921 to 1929,| under Harding bids fair to become international. The| conference at Washington is achieving results looking| toward peace far beyond the dreams of the president who initiated it and of the able and far-secing Amer- ican delegates who were appointed and have been! given the widest opportunity to participate in it. It! was truly predicted that the conference woyld center on Pacific problems and their solution. If there is any outside of war, it is to be found in the Four- Power treaty, the basis of which is understanding, while the basis of the league covenant was force. | Certainly it can be said that reflexes of the “get to- gether” attitude of the delegates at Washington are already displaying themselves in other portions of the globe. The Anglo-Hibernian treaty which gives prom- se of culminating in the Irish free state is a case in| point. If the English and the Irish are able to har-| monize their difficulties there will no longer be good) ground for the bitter feeling exhibited toward Eng- ‘and by Americans of Irish descent. The overtures being made by Chile to Peru to end by peaceful means the 38-year-o lemate known as the Tacna-Arica| Jispute is another example. 1 cd yent note proposes that the long de nile’s re- plebiscite -in yed These are only a few of the outstanding sins laid ac the Gompers door by the Texas congressman. There are others of caurse. These all were committed while! Mr. Gompers carried the pass key to the back door of the White House when Mr. Wilson was the tenant of the property. a Se GETTING HIS STRIDE. It would be omitting to do justice te an official who is doing his duty and making a record for himself, to When he assumed office he prorhised the public that he would enforce the laws and maintain peace and good order within his jurisdiction. He fell upon a time when disregard of law was at its height. When men laughed at the efforts of en- forcing officers and almost defied the constituted au- thority. An example or two in which criminals were jerked up standing created a different situation and when offenders were hunted to their hiding places and dragged out and punished a new respect for the law and the man behind it was born. Of late the sheriff's office has done much and splen- did work; and crimes are speedily traced and crimin- als captured with a certainty that means a better sit uation in the future. The most troublesome feature, which is the sam the country over—the festive bootlegger and th brewer of vile concoctions, has been and still is th bene of an enforcing officer’s life. Yet some notab captures have been effected and many illicit opera tors permanently retired from activity. Sheriff Marquis has sworn, in his wrath, that th: makers and peddlers of poison shall remain unpop lar in Natrona county and in the end he will get the all. He is doing well. And when he finally succec no one will complain, except the bootleggers and the r partners in crime the makers of “moon.” eee MAKE FEE PROHIBITIVE. It is to be hoped that the incoming city adminis tration, will, by proper ordinance afford prote¢tion t regularly established merchants against itinerant ped diers and vendors who come to the city and offer thei wares from door to door throughout the residence sec tions. These strangers are not only a nuisance to householders, but they offer nothing in the way o | bargains that cannot be procured in a regular way a the established concerns doing business in the retai sections of the city. ‘The local dealer is paying taxes for the support of city and county and is entitled to your patronage and support, whereas the itinerant pays no taxes, has no place of business and is permitted to come into com- petition by the payment of a ridiculously small li- cense fee. Sheridan was formerly annoyed in the same man- ner, but her merchants made such representations to the city and county authorities that a license fee of $200 was established for all itinerants regardless of what they offered for sale and that city and county is troubled no more. Casper owes protection to home merchants and her duty is to raise the peddlers license so high as to dis- courage their visits to this field in the future. ma “THE DAY” “Der Tag,” has an entirely different significance to our German friends in this time. It is not toasted with bravado nor does it require the same number of steins. Rather is it mentioned in gloom and its ap- proach dreaded. Impatience of its coming has given place to horror of its arrivai. For “The Day,” now means that another installment of the reparations debt due the allies is payable and the old German sock is empty or nearly so; and has nothing to do with the German dream of conquering the world and owning it. Away down in Holland on the banks of a canal dwells in seclusion an arch-conspirator, much hated by* tke world; and off in the Atlantic ocean on a lone island lives his fellow not so much hated but trusted not at all by the world. “The Day,” they have to look forward to with what joy they may command is the day of death and the day most to be feared by them is the Judgment Day. OO | SENDING OUT THE WASH. 1 The Erie railrozd has discovered a plan for getting its maintenance of way workmen at the current mar- ket prices for labor, without being subjected to arti- ficial wage schedules and rules of employment drawn for special application to railroad employes.. The Erie is making contracts with individuals and construction companies to take care of long sections of its road- bed and structures. It is considered the cheapest method of doing the work, and further leases of the sort are under consideration. | 0 ' REDUCING THE PAYROLL. Chairman Lasker has cut a third from the salary list of the shipping board. On June 15, the list stood at $15,861,000, but on November 18 it had dropped to $10,993,000. In some instances much higher salaries have been paid than heretofore, but the positions have been filled by men of such efficiency that they have been able to dispense with the services of a host of sub- ordinate employes. widely charged, that the present freight rates are preventing the move- ment of targe amounts of traffic, but the prices charged for any class of commodities must have a much <reat- jer influence upon the amount of them that can be marketed, and which |therefore can be shipped, than is ex- ‘erted the rail rate, which in Congressman Blanton of Texas, who made himself srcst ceses lw only © relatively emaen famous and narrowly escaped expulsion from g@on-| percentage of the tota! price. supremacy and misgovernment it makes more defin-\cicths and clothing. that old) Fuel and lighting.
