The purveyors of propaganda in Wyoming are hav- ing a rather hard ttme of it in their attempts to make their mud adhere co or even besmirch to esentcheon of Frank Monae They are largely unfortunate in selecting the subjects upon which they would inform the people. They also, in their ignorance, commit the further folly of substituting missatements of fact for truth. Unfairness is to be expected from a Demo- cratic source; but even the novice avoids untruth in attempting to influence or convince people of intelli- gence against a set of facts of which they already have {cll information. Therefore future misrepresentation will be taken as wilful. Gentlemen of vivid imagination, who head their con- tributions to rural Democratic newspapers in Wyo- ming with Washington date lines and attempt to tell the people of this state that Frank Mondell is op- posed to this, or against that, or is fighting the other thing, coneluding with a paragraph explaining how strongly John B. Kendrick is for the thing or meas- ure Mr. Mondell is alleged to be against, are circulat- ing about the cheapest literature coming into the country. That will remain their business however, just so long as they confine themselves to as near the facts as it is possible for Democrats and hired propa- gandists to do. When these gentlemen come out of the trenches and hori stink pots ai any our folks they must remem- ber that we will take it out on them and their candi- date, eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth. Senator Kendrick’s campaign managers may select the weapons they desire to use in the senatorial scrim- mage approaching. We have no choice. Anything’ from a pick handle to lethal gas suits us. Only we don’t want to hear any bawling or any allusions to mud throwing after the exercises are under way. Ken- drick romancers are entitled to whoop her for John B. and they may lay it on good and strong when recount- ing his good points. In this direction they can go as far as they like. But when they get so bold as to step over on our grass plot and make scurrilous remarks about Frank Mondell or anybody else belonging to us it is at their peril and the peril of retaliation upon their candidate. We have a process for removing cuiticle from Democratic candidates that we do not desire to employ unless the case is aggravated. The directions say to apply it with reckless abandon, so if there is any repetition of irresponsible fabrications on the part of press agents or rural editors on the other ‘side of no man’s land, the fun will begin and alibis will be disregarded. , geet PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CONSTRUCTION. There is considerable good sense in the suggestion dade by a group of construction contractors, that pri- vate contractors be given an opportunity to bid in competition with government or other public agen- cies who would do the work if undertaken at the di- rect expense of the public. j ments of government and private operation which is Worthy of consideration. It is the custom of a gov-| ernment bureau to make estimates of the cost of con-| | ducting a piece of construction work, but experience shows that in almost every instanos tha estimates on) exceeded by from 25 to 50 pcr cent. sf not more. al government bu.eau may estimate its ability te conduct the work for .ess than a private contractor would) stipulate as his price, and thus the pubiic be induced | to believe that the government work is the chesper,| but when the work is finally completed the figures will usually show that the private construction cost would have been less. The private contractor is obliged to do the work for stipulsted sum, whereas the government bureau is practically unlimited in the! amount it may spend. There is enother viewpoint that is favorable to the contention of the private contractors. They are main- taining equipmen. to enable them to undertake large construction enterprises on short notice. Their super- visory forces are well organized and must be con- tinuously maintained. “While they zre maintaining this organization and equipment for their own private gain, they are also doing it for the benefit of the entire commonwealth or community. Since it is to the interest of the nation, the state, the county and the municipality that these large private construction enterprises be continued, it is well that they be given every encouragement consistent with the |, public welfare. That being true, they should be given/ an opportunity to bid on public work in competition with any governmental agency which contemplates do- ing the work. Moreover when a government agency bids on public construction work it should make its bid on exactly the same basis that a private concern must adopt, figuring in its costs all of the overhead and supervisory expenses, rental of buildings, depre- fiation of equipment, interest on the investment and ell other proper items. When competitive bids are taken on this basis the ,taxpayers, who ultimately pay the costs, may rest as- sured, that they are getting the work done at the least practicable expense to themselves, ee NS DEFENDING THE FLAPPER. How much harder mast it be brought home to the} parents that the responsibility for the sins of the chil-| dren is upon their heads. Being parents carries with/| it something more than turning the childrex over to their own devices and permitting them to grow up with no direction except the impressions they pick up on/ the streets, at picture shows and from companions at) school who are older in years and older in knowledge | of the world. The flapper has lately come in for an un usual amount of public attention. She has been the object of newspaper ridicule, social investigation, school discipline, and general and widespread criticism. Anhough he merits greater and more drastic con- demnation than the flapper has been compelle.i to bear, the male of the species has received little or no at- tention. If there is blame the young he vamp should get his. Placing the blame upon the woman is old stuff. Too old in fact and too much’out of style to work in an age of equal rights and privileges. The New York Post comes to the rescue of the flap- per and really and in positive fashion fixes the blame where it belongs—upon the parents. The Post says: “Isn't it about time that an adclt civilization gave up utilizing its young as an alibi and a scapegoat for its sins? A luxurious opium den is discovered on Cen- tral Park west, and it is in order for the headline drug suspect.’ An anxious elder generation, somewhat oblivious of its own faults, but also greatly and sin- cerely concerned for the welfare of the young genera- tion, reads about opium parties for flappers and asks despairingly, ‘What next?’ The answer is that there probably will be no next because there probably was no opium for the flappers in the first place. Or, as- suming chat an erratic and neurotic case of the kind might be proved, the question remains whether it is quite fair to make the flapper responsible for opium dens that are maintained by and for the adult public. “After all, the flapper, at her supposedly worst, is not a cause but a result, The cause is in the elders. Her whiskey flask is a. pathetic imitation of the hip- pocket flask of her fathers. Her reprehensible meth- ods of dancing find no discouragement in any percept- ible different methods practiced in adult dancing. Her eccentricities in drees are largely the eccentricities of those higher up in the age scale. After all, it is not the young thing who keeps the bootlegger in furs and limovsines. “This business of piling on the poor bobbed head of| the flapper all the maladjusthents of a grown-up world has gene too far. The flapper is not altogether respon- sible for the disturbed state of affairs in the realistic novel, in Ireland and in India. Given the marvellous gift for mimicry which is one of the unmistakable characteristics of the flapper, it might be an excellent idea on the part of the elders to give her something really worth while to mimic.” se INTERMOUNTAIN FOLK. It is common belief, if not common knowledge that government business is more expensive than similar undertakings conducted by private enterprise. Man- agers of government business have not the same in- centive to etonomy and efficiency which determine the methods and policies of private enterprise whose profits and continued existence depend upon success- ful management. It is also common belief that when a governmental agency, undertakes construction work it does not charge, as part of the expenses, many over- head costs, interest on investment, depreciation of property and other incidentals. Because of this, gov- ernment work is frequently represented as being less expensive, whereas, the actual cost imposed upon the taxpayer is greater than would be the case if the work had been done by private enterprise.

The Transcript says: “A book of poems of considerable interest to the Intermountain states is announced for publication this spring by the B. J. Brimmer company of Boston. The volume is by E. Richard Shipp, an eminent lawyer of Casper, Wyo., and is called “Intermountain Folk: Songs of Their Days and Ways.” It is certain that Wyoming will be the second state in thw union to of- ficially name its poet laureate, following the action of Nebraska, which lately conferred that. honor on John G. Neihardt. It is expected that the legislature of Wyoming will confer the laureate honor upon Mr. Shipp, who is supported for the office by the press of the state of all shades or opinion, as well as by the people. Mr. Shipp has had a very interesting career and in many respects is a self-made man. Though born in Mlinois, he was employed at one time as a this paper. He graduated in law from Georgetown university, where he was a classmate of George B. Cortelyou, a member of Roosevelt’s cabinet, through whom Mr. Shipp came to know the late Colonel Roose- velt intimately.” ee THE ESSENTIALS. Social hygiene, like every other advance movement, has its “lunatic fringe,” its self-appointed advocates, earnest weil-meaning men and women who Jack noth- ing but discretion, a sense of proportion, and a con- ception of what to say and what not to say. The sin- cere lady who forgets that high school girls are not third-year medical stadents and that intimate details of vice are no help to a young mother, the excited gen- tlemen who gathers statistics from the surrounding air j and uses them as thunderbolts, the alarmist, the but educationally unhelpful folk should not be per- | mitted to have a part in such delicate and important | work. | The successful lecturer or worker must possess four writer to remark, ‘Hop parties for flappers charged by|j,, young man as typesetter in the composing room of| ex-| | tremist, the half-informed, the radical, all these worthy | Che Caspet Daily Cribune TO WARD OFF PUBLIC FROST Experts for Consuls No others play a more active part in the building of an overseas business for a-nation than do its consuls. Years ago United States consuls abroad were notoriously inefficient. ‘r recent times that situation, so vital to our foreign trade, has been bettered ma- terially. However, conditions are far from satisfactory. It has been and still is our policy to pick our consular officials largely because of their knowledge of interna- tional law. Though matters legal en- ter into foreign relations, they are really less important than matters commercial. It is far easier for an intelligent man to acquire an under- standing of the laws which govern the conduct of nations one to another than it Is for him to master the details connected with some important line of dustrial Cevelopment. Many foreign countries with which the United States does business have 80 developed one industry or two that all other pursuits within the country are only supplementary |buninesses revolving around the one or two basic, industries. In any of this kind the consuls sent by the United States ito such a country should be thoroughly versed in those lines of business which constitute the principal activities of that foreign country. Bolivia is the best and yet the least developed mining country in the world. It has great deposits of tin, silver and tungsten. It has no supplies of fuel, but there are great reserves of water power on the east side of the Andes. The country needs machinery and railways. Men to represent the United States properly in Bolivia should be trained in mining and me- chanical or civil engineering. Venezuela and Colombia have tm- mense acreage of sugar and grazing lands, extensive oil areas and large forests of valuable tropical woods. Plainly the ddeal man for these coun- tries should be an expert sugar man, mining engineer or forester. Argentine is a great grain country. and a large exporter of hides and fan- cy stock. It needs immense supplies of farming machinery and the man to serve the United States best in Argentina should be versed in cattle and plant diseases, such a man as might be found in our federal bureau of animal industry. In like manner we might take up) one country after another. Brazil has! lumber and rubber. It also has the greatest undeveloped iron deposits in the world. A recent report by Ameri- can engineers showed eight billion tons of iron ore in one ‘property, Another Brazil will need railroads to haul its iron ore to sources of fuel supply. | Without doubt, in the future, the coun- |try that controis the iron of Brazil will control the steel of the world, Our| consuls in Brazil should be experts in| lumber, rubber, hydro-electric develop-| ment and mining. In Mexico we need mining men, while in Norway and Sweden electrical engineers could probably serve best. If we must find places in our foreign service for international lawyers let them go to pcets in Europe where our chief concern for years to come will be the collection of debts rather than the selling of goods. ‘The fundamental truth underlying limited to selling power. We wish to sell South America and the Orient ma- chinery and manufactured products. The only way we can do this is to show these foreign peoples where to find materials with which to pay for what we’ propose to sell them. Our overseas sales in the future will be limited by a lack of money to pay for our goods rather than a lack of desire to buy them. Our consuls in the future must be able to show for- eigners how to tap their undeveloped sources of wealth, and they must be qualified in the work of encouraging the greater production of native goods in the countries to which they are as- signed. Few Americans who have travelled abroad, particularty in the Latin coun- tries of Central and South America, will deny the need for a higher grade consular service.

Some may inquire as to where we jshail get technical exports for our foreign consular service.

Shrinkage is equal to one pound in each five, and has no value whatever. That is why the prices of “Premium” Ham and Bacon and pork loins are higher than the price of the live animal. Everybody wants them—and yet they are only about one-third of the entire weight. “Premium” Bacon alone is only about 8 per cent. The great demand for the choicer cuts, and the smaller demand for the Cheaper: cuts, constitute the reason for the atively higher price of the one-third, and the lower price of the other two-thirds.
