Horrible but true, that in the two trials already had women took a much deeper interest in the sordid de- tails than did men and sat in the stuffy court room day after day drinking in the disgusting testimony. Is it possible that the moral let down will never let go and give the people a chance to scramble back to common decency. : It is feared Will Hays will find it necessary to in- augurate his management of the moving picture busi- noss with an old time religious revival in order to get the movie stars started back in the right direction. ————0 FOOD AND REST. There is more or less of a flue or grip epidemic in the world at this particular time. With each succeed- ing grip wave the doctors discover that the remedy that worked best in the previous season is useless in the present one. We all remember when the sover- eign remedy, whisky, was the cure. It is worthless this year for several very good reasons. . Paris doctors, who are having a twist with the dis- ease have found that the best way to treat it is with food and rest. Abundant repast, a well-heated room and plenty of rest. That is the treatment recom-} mended, and results are proving its efficacy. | WHY THEY ARE WILD. We have all wondered what made Paris women wild. No one disputes the fact of their wildness. They are regarded as the original wild ones the world over. The reason is revealed in the recent census of the city which shows that the feminine population dominates by almost 500,000. There are 1,611,000 women against 1,263,000 men. It makes a woman wild not to have a man to boss, nag and henpeck. This in it- self might be some explanation of the disparity in numbers as to the two sexes. (A de ae, STRAWS WHICH POINT. ‘Those whose taste in literature run to Jim Jam! Jems, Whizz Bang, Hot Dog and publications of like character have discovered that it is impossible to pur- chase their favorite rot at any of the Casper news shops. Parents and guardians have discovered, if they are sufficiently interested to inquire or observe, that the children, supposedly under their control, to the age of fifteen years are not permitted about public dance halls, pool halls or other similar places. Parents and guardians have also had called to their attention humiliating facts about the conduct of their children in school and out of school, which came with both surprise and shock. The information came con- fdentially and without the slightest publicity. Many other means have been taken in many other directions to safeguard the young girls and boys of the city’and it*has all been done wisely and well and wholly without public knowledge of the efforts put forth. These things are mentioned because they have been accomplished without special fuss; because. they are steps in the direction of better things; because they have been done by an intelligent police department, the first one Casper has ever had; because that de- partment recognizes the essential things to do and does them without suggestion from any other source. The department is perfectly aware of the many ugly things with which it has to deal. It is dealing with them daily. The results will be more and more apparent. Already there is a different atmosphere. There is a confidence that is encouraging. A little pa- tience, a little charity, a little determination and we will no longer be compelled to blush for the things that go in Casper. o—_—_—__—_ THE CREDITOR NATION FOLLY. “The United States government is not an eleemosy- nary institution,” remarks the American Economist, “but is purely a business corporation organized for the purpose of safeguarding the life, liberty, religious, so- cial and economic welfare of its corporate members, that is, the citizens of the United States. It is sup- noseit to do exact justice to all, but its first duty is to ifs own citizens and if there be any conflict of inter- est the duty of the covernfnent is to look after the in- terest of ‘America first.’ That is not selfishness; it is business. “Being a business corporation the government is supposed to conduct its affairs in a businesslike man- ner. Under like conditions it is supposed to conduct itself exactly in the same manner as would any other business institution, especially in its dealings with the outside world. If there be any dispute, say of the boundary line between thin country and another coun- try, it is the business of the representatives of this}edition and intimates government to present the claims of the United States in the matter, leaving it to the representatives of the other government todo likewise for the people they represent. All that can be reasonably expected of the representatives on either side is to do exact justice. “No matter whatever of sentiment entered into the transaction, the truth is that when this government lcened ten billion dollars to the allies in the late war, it was purely a business transaction. It is equally true that the settlement of such indebtedness is pure-| ly @ business transaction. If we should force imme- j Sate payment of the debt owed by one of the coun- | bankruptey.

The first step was the calling | Bpon the other creditors to ask them to give the cor- poration further time, so that it might not be forced into involuntary bankruptcy. Six months’ time was| granted and the corporation proceeded to conduct its! manufacturing operations. “One of the creditors of the said corporation was another and much Jarger corporation engaged in the same line of business and the indebtedness amounted to several tens of thousands of dollars. Now the larger corporation could have forced the smailer, the| poration to make a quicker recovery Ly selling its! comparable and competitive goods to the customers of the former? Such a proposition would be consid- ered preposterous and no business man, not even an international banker, would venture to make such a Proposition. Yet it would certainly help the debtor| to pay the debt the more quickly. .No thought of advancing such a proposition, but yet tha: is exactly the proposition advanced by the. interna: tional bankers and other free traders with reference to our dealings with our debtor nations. | “The internationalist proposition is that the United | | Vogue of Knitted Sports Wear _ | ow let us see how a great business corporation |. antiy in importance with American Knitted wear increase con-|nation is composed of a slip-on blouse, Africa, i anid on one occasion to have may in_tnpor separate skirt and hat.

They want tariff revision post- poned, claiming that our debtors must pay us in goods| and hence we must give them this aid. Right here! let us say thet Germany and Japan would reap the benefit of the lower tariff rates, and our debtors would benefit least of all. * | “But the proposition is simply the-same_as if the manufacturing creditor corporation above referred to had been asked to close its factories and allow its debt- or and competitor to sell to the creditor's customers. In the case of our government, it means that our mills| must be idle so as to allow the manufacturers of Great Britain, France and Italy to sell the customers of our| manufacturers, that is in the American market. No business man would be crazy enough to make such a proposition in connection with a private business transaction, yet men who call themselves financiers and economists urge upon the government to do ex- actly that thing. ‘What fools we mortals be!’” SY a en aa A PREPOSTEROUS PROPOSAL. “Senator Jones of Washington has proposed a rule requiring a’senator to confine his oratory to the ques- Mae Sos the senate,” observes the St. Paul Pioneer “If adopted, who ig to be the judge? Who is to in- quire into a senator’s mental processes or lack of the same? Who is to say offhand whether a senator is discussing the subject under consideration or trying) to prove that the moon actually is made of green) cheese? Surely the subdued vice president who pre-| sides over senatorial deliberations cannot be expected to act as arbiter, { “Assume that the bill was one to dredge the Hocus} Focus rive? and that some senator in speaking con- cerning it, should wander off into a discussion of the! effect upon civilization of the native customs of Pata-} gonia? In his mind there may bo a very necessary | connection between the dredging of the river and the native customs of Patagonia. Is he to be humiliated by being called to account, and asked to demonstrate the logical continuity of his argument before he gets a good start? “Absurd! The sovereign right of a senator.to talk his head off about anything under the sun whenever he wants to and without reference to the logic of the argument cannot be denied by rule. The whole idea is preposterous. What on earth is the matter with Jones?” 0. WHO COMES NEXT? A publisher who thoughtlessly filled an order for the works of Rabelais,” notes the New York World, “and sent them across a state line, has been brought into court by an Ohio postoffice inspector, charged with circulating literature of an obscene, indecent and lascivious nature. Rabelais died in 1553 and his works have been circulating more or less ever since they were written, but the Usted States government has finally found out about them and it is shocked and hor- rifed. If this is what the classics are like they must be suppressed at once. | “It was inevitable that this should happen, of course. We live in a moral age and we have a moral gpvern- ment second to none, Our legislators and postoffice inspectors are willing to take infinite pains to protect the purity of our citixenry from the corruptions of this world. Some high-minded official will come by accident sooner or later across the works of William Shakespeare and bar them from the mails. The King James Version of the Bible cannot escape much longer. | “A few regrets will be voiced, perhaps by old-fash- ioned individuals when these popular publications are placed beyond reach, but the postoffice authorities know best. Our ancestors, even the most scrupulous of them, were wont to use language on occasion which cannot be allowed to sully the atmosphere of this righteous era. They must take the consequences. The King James version must go.’ Shakespeare must go. If Chaucer has not been attended to already, he should be. It will be possible to save Whittier and parts of Longfellow, also the catalogue of ships from Homer. With these and the Child’s Garden of Verses we shall have to get along as best we gan.” ; a0 A FINE ISSUE. H. N. Wheeler, chief of public relations, forestry service, stationed at Denver, was a valued contributor te our special edition and this is the way he felt about it when he received copies of it: ~ } “T am very much pleased with the way in which you handled the outdoor section and the prominence! which you gave my article and the pictures. Am very glad indeed to co-operate in every way possible. “Your whole special edition is certainly a most cred- ible publication and you are to be congratulated on getting out such a fine issue. It is rarely that the pa-| pers in our larger cities get out anything as good as/ this special edition.” ae WYOMINGITES JUSTLY PROUD. The Lyman Enterprise is pleased with our industrial much in the following: “A large industrial edition of the Casper Tribune and Wyoming Weekly Review came to our office last even- ing.
