We notice by Democratic contemporaries that John in one of the Hearst publica- stalwart Wyoming Republicans and carried the state against his Republican opponent by 3,000 majority. John Temple does not say that that accident occurred back in 1916 when John Benjamin was assisting Thomas Woodrow keep us out of war. Never again can John Benjamin purioin the trearts ef Wyoming Republicans. So far as he is eoncerned those organs have changed to beautifully polished ‘white marble such as tombstones are made from. Wyoming Republicans are ready and willing to fur- wish tombstone material but good live, warm throb- bing hearts—no more. Sas pe. GEORGE W. PERRY. The suicide of George W. Perry, president of the Sheridan National bank, and one of the most widely known citizens in public life, has cast a gloom over the entire state. He has been associated with many important matters of politics, business and finance. He ranked very high, and in all associntions and under- takings won and held the respect and esteem of his fellows. What condition of mind could have influenced the fmal act in his career remains unexplained. He was at the height of a useful and honorable career and in the prime of life. Difficulties never cast shadows up- en his sunny disposition heretofore. In surmounting obstacles he was the most cheerful and at his best. The public and social life of Sheridan will find no easy task in filling the place George Perry has left ‘vacant. We all regret the passing of George Perry and its ‘manner. seen ee TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN. ‘The United States led the world in the building of ships that excelled in speed and efficiency, but an un- wise policy turned ocean shipping over to other na- tions. Had we not better return to our senses and regain our place in the ocean carrying trade? With our great coast lines, our foreign possessions and our enormous international traffic, do we want to employ the boasts of other nations to deliver our goods? . Is it good business or is it even good sense? Should we not cut costs and keep the money xmong our own peo- ple? Any busin: man will tell you it is good policy, a ean STILL THE BEST PLACE. Thinking the matter over carefully and prayerfully, znd weighing the ills he bears, Mr. Debts has conclud- ed not to fly to those he knows not of. Therefore he will remain in the United States and not journey to Russia, where little can be said in its favor. The United States is still the best place on earth to be in a world that continues to be topsy turvey. ee —— TREATIES COME FIRST. The senate has agreed to postpone consideration of the tariff until after the treaties growing out of the Washington conference have been disposed of. That is the program that naturally presents itself. Other 1etions are anxiously awaiting American action on tke treaties, and it is more than a courtesy we owe to ttem to indicate promptly what disposition we pro- pose to make of the agreements. Affairs in our own government, also, cannot be adjusted until it is known whether the trea are to become the law of the land. the Democrats will attack the party in power ause of the tariff delay. The fact is the treaties were entirely unforeseen when th Repub- Take the Whole Family, to the Movies or Theater all t th Give ’em night the a treat. = a Announce to- nole family will enjoy an evening of the best in entertain- ment.

The Greybull Standard is also weary of the numer-| ous commissions and aid societies that constantly of-| fer gratuitous advice to the public and attempt to! justify their existence by presenting incomplete if not wholly erroneous information. The Standard) says: j “We wonder if the various committees and commis-| Sions that are frequently giving out statements that) working women can live on some stated sum or that families can live on the salary of wage earners who} receives stipulated sums, which they have figured out,/ cver take into consideration upkeep and replacement! of the human machine? | “We rend an itemized Tist of the necessary expense} end salary for a working girl a few days ago that) made no provision for a savings accumulation to take| care of the human machine’s needs when it became! depleted by wear and disease. “What we would be glad to know is how many years these investigators think it will be necessary for these people to live on the salaries they have figured out to) lay by the sum of $500 to protect them in advanced| years. | “Ts is certainly unfair, in fact wrong, to make up : ot provide for the accumn-! for maintenance as the/ y of the machine become depleted #nd for re- Every manufacturing plant in the country therefore why| to account in making up sal-| doe j pairs. makes provision for such expenses should it not be taken ary badgets for worke: A ee EE. THE FARMER AND THE MEAL TICKET. | A prominent periodical attributes recent legislation| encouraging agricultural co-operation to “fear of the west.” No such thing. There was nation-wide recog- nition of the desirability of co-operative buying and selling in order to enable farmers to buy their neces- sities more economically and to sell their produce to better advantage, thus benefiting both the producer} and the consumer. Everybody agrees that there is) far too mach disparity between the price the farmer| recives and the price the consumer pays. If any of that disparity can be eliminated, the whole nation will] be the gainer. It is altogether probable that the sav- ings through co-operation will not be anywhere near as great as anticipated by the advocates of the legis- lation recently passed. The middleman is an expen- sive factor in the handling of goods, but he renders a| service of value and is entitled to a reasonable com-| pensation. Of course, if some of the middleman serv- ice can be avoided, either the produce: or the con- sumer or both will be the beneficiarieis. Recognition of that fact is the sole basis of legisIn- tion passed by congress for the recognition and regu-| lation of co-operative organizations. The idea is not new. It was not enacted by congress on the spur of| the moment or ufider duress. Mr. Harding, when a} candidate for the presidency, openly advocated such| legislation, although not presenting it as a panacea for} all the ills of our agricultural industry. The Republican congress passed the bill after care- ful deliberation and without any threat or coercion whatever. The farmers did not follow the example of the four brotherhoods who threatened a nation-wide tie- ef the railroads unless a Jaw were passed by a in hour. The Democrats yielded to threats of force. The Republicans acted in accordance with their carefully formed judgment. ere egg re PREPARING FOR WAR. “Under the gracious auspices of Mr. Tumulty the Democratic chieftains—or some of them—have for- gathered to connive toward the making of their party’s congressional campaign,” observes the Manchester Union. “Naturally enough, the Wilsonian wing was ade- quately represented. Former Governor Cox of Ohio, presidential candidate in the late Democratic unpleas- antness, was present. So was Cordell Hull, chairman of the national committee. Rouse of the congressional committee, the eagle-eyed detector of the great Republican plot to use the films to flim-flam the populace. Senator Hitchcock was there—and Senator Underwood, who is for certain pending treaties, wasn’t. A. Mitchell Palmer graced the occasion, but Senator Pomerene was missing. The latter, as it happens, is also for the treaties. Of course the circumstances may have no significance. One of the conferees told the reporters he didn’t hear the treaties nuentioned, but then he went home early. And there. you thave it! “So far as publicity regarding the affair Senator Lodge imay take to his soul the unction of having received a deal of attention. It is admitted that the fight against him in Massachusetts was earn- estly discussed. Mr. Cox offers no denial that he plans to invade the enemy’s country and make several speeches against Mr. Lodge—which, unless precedents are bewilderingly upset, the senator will be able to count as a distinct favor of Fortune. “All this is interesting, but falls far short of a mas- terly for a campaign to capture congress. Rut, then it may be the leading Democrats ‘are quite 2s aware of this fly in the ointment as anybody else can be. They should have been aware of it for a good while.” ——_o—_—___ WORK THE BIG STICK. “Tt is daily becoming more apparent,” notes the Manchester Union, “that President Harding, much as he may dislike it, must take down from the wall tho| Big Stick which, since the fourth of March, one year ago, has been accumulating dust, and began to brand- ish it over the head of congress, if so palpably head- roes, | less a body may be said to have a head. The presi-| dent has certainly demonstrated to the country’s en- tire satisfaction that he has no desire to trespass upon legislative preserves. “But congress has also been busy, disclosing its acute need of presidential leading strings. While the! president has satisfied everybody that he has no inten- | tion of dictating to an equal and co-ordinate branch of the government, congress has likewise satisfied everybody that if it was to get anywhere, do anything, or be saved from making a fool of itself, it must be| dictated to by somebody. Happily, or unhappily, we! have no Mark Hanna, or Nelson Aldrich, within con- gress itself to do the dictating, so this puts it up to tie only outstanding leader we have, the president. | “Apparently the sole remedy for this situation is the| prompt assumption of party leadership in congress by the president. The country believes in Harding, as-| sesses very highly his achievements to date as an ex-| ecutive, and is ready to follow his lead. Unquestion-| ably tho president and the public together cari bring some semblance to orderly procedure out of the mess in the capitol The public is all ready. It only waits the word from the president.

Years ago before our country was settled as thickly as it is today, beef cattle were raised nea: large cities. Today, according to government fig- ures, 80 per cent of the beef cattle in the United States are raised west of the Mississippi river. Seventy per cent of the beef is eaten east of that river. New York and New Engtand would have about stx beefless days a week |were it not that Iowa and her sister states a thousand or more miles away speciilize in the raising and fattening of livestock. The middle western and western farmer thus does his share in feeding the east. But the middie western farmer would be of no benefit to the meat eater of the city were it not for the fact that between the farmer and the retailer has grown up a long-range in- dustry that takes the western steers and turns them into attractivt, clean and inspected meat, and then trans- | ports this meat to the city markets. | ,Only a very small amount of beef is frozen. Most of it reaches the con- sumer as fresh meat which has been | merely chilled so that it will keep fresh and sweet while ft is on its journey from the packing house to | the consumer. Not so many years ago a great ma- jority of live animals were shipped a thousand miles in order to feed the eastern states. They shrunk tn weight many were bruised, many died. It was a wasteful system. ‘Today packing houses located near the producing. sections buy the live animals, convert them into meat, sav- ing all by-products, and then by means of thelr highly effective distributive organizations, market the meat pro- ducts where they are destred. Above are two miniature maps, one showing where the beef cattle are raised, the other where the beef is con- sumed. The maps furnish @ graphic Mustration of the difficulties which would confront both the consumer and the producer if they were forced to depend entirely upon the smaller local packer for thelr meat supply. The larger packers have established hundreds of branch houses and many ear rentes which radiate from supply centers. Most of us know that branch houses are really sub-supply-stations which carry packing house products The car routes are really traveling branch houses; they’ supply smaller towns and villages where there bre no branch, houses, and the methods in- sure & constant supply of frish meat.
