What may be termed the first gun in the congres- sional campaign was fired in Massachusetts by Sene- tor George H. Moses of New Hampshire, who opened the campaign in that state in behalf of the re-election) of Henry Cabot Lodge to the United States senate. It is recognized in both political parties that Mas- sachusetts will be the scene of probably the most de- termined attack of the Democratic forces upon the Republican positions this fall. ‘The Democratic lead-| ers and the Democratic publicity mediums are mak- ing no attempt to disguise the fact that they would! rather defeat Senntor Lodge for re-election this year than they would to accomplish almost any other vic- tory. In fact, some of the more enthusiastic Demo- crats have stated they would rather defeat Mr. Lodge than they would to carry the next congress. In order to leave no stone unturned in their effort to do this the Democratic party organizations are pre- paring to send their most effective speakers to the state of Massachusetts, center their organization ef- forts in that state and turn loose upon it all of their publicity. The Republicans of Massachusetts, the Republican party leaders everywhere and the Republican party or- ganizations cheerfully accept that challenge of the Democratic organization and are going to throw every ounce of their energy into the fight in support of the senior senator from Massachusetts. Even at this early date Republican leaders are offering Senator Lodge their services in his coming campaign. Senators Hale , of Maine, Wadsworth of New York, Senator Brandegee of Connecticut and such western senators as Watson of Indianz and Lenroot of Wisconsin, have announced their intention of campaigning the state of Massa- _, Chusetts in behalf of Mr, Lodge. Senator Moses, who opened the campaign in behalf of Mr. Lodge in a recent speech at Haverhill, Mass., 3s going to devote considerable of his time in Sena- tor Lodge’s home state. Although the Democratic party is a unit in its de- sire, it is not a unit in regard to methods that must be used if they would realize their desires. ex-Governor Cox of Ohio, who came within 7,000,000 votes of being elected president in 1920, nounced his determination of going into Massachu- setts and flaying the senior senator. Mr. Cox’s ambition to go into Massachusetts and lec- ture the people of that state as to their duty is re- garded with anxiety by many of the wiser Democratic brothers. Mr. Bryan, whose political sagacity is sec- ond to none in the Democratic party, has advised that Mr. Cox stay out of Massachusetts. Mr. Bryan is! quite averse to opening up the issue of the league of nations again, which he says will certainly be the case} in event Mr. Cox attempts to carry the fight to Sena- tor Lodge in his home state. Mr. Bryan is very strongly supported in his position by Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, Mr. Cox cannot go into Massachusetts and crack the head of Mr. Lodge) because of his attitude in regard to the league of na- ttions without also cracking the head of Senator Walsh, ‘ho, quite as cognizant, of the public sentiment in his state as was Senator Lodge, was forced to desert the Demoeratic party in the senate and support the Lodge| reservations to the Treaty of Versailles. The fact that Massachusetts turned in a majority something like 400,000 against Mr. Cox and the league of nations and in favor of Mr. Lodge and his attitude assists Senator Walsh and other Democratic leaders tq the conclusion that Mr. Cox is not going to render the party any particular service, or do Mr. Lodge any par- ticular damage, by threshing that issue out again in the Bay State. In fact, Senator Walsh is advised from home circles that the Republicans of that state have heard with great glee that Mr. Cox is going into thel for by making it necessary before any such publica- state and they are praying that the information is ‘true. of his entire political career, for the Republicans from the Berkshires to Cape Cod are itching for a chance at Ohio’s ex-governor and the Democratic party’s»most noted “also-ran” presidential candidate. ——__——». FORD’S WAGE CUT. Tt is slowly beginning to dawn upon the country that Henry Ford’s widely-advertised alleged philan- thropy in the form of giving his employes a five-day| week in order that they could spend an extra day with| their families was, in point of fact, nothing more or| Yess than a wage cut of 16 2-2 per cent for all people working in his plants. Mr. Ford announced tha: the minimum $6 a day wage would continue in effect on the five-day-week| schedule. This does not change the fact that the new zule loses each working man one day’s pay out of six,| or one-sixth his week's payroll. It affects 60,000 em-| ployes and if all of them were making only the min- imum of $6 a day, it saves Mr. Ford $360,000. a week on his payroll. it was announced that he would add 3,000 men as 2 result of ¥is shortened week, but even so this would add only $18,000 « week to his payroll, leaving a net saving to him of $340,000 a week Labox i art at 2 loss to understand the at- 4 ‘ | cut. For instance, has an-. If he does, he will have the most exciting time} tiude of Samuel Gompers and Matthew Woll, presi- dent and vice president respectively of the American Federation cf Labor, who promptly came out in in- terviews commending Mr. Ford for his splendid atti-) tude toward the working classes and the very great) consideration he showed his employes. Laboring men | cannot understand how a flat cut of 162-3 per cent in any working man's wages is showing him very much consideration. Furthermore, it is very difficult to ex- plain, purely from a labor standpoint, why Mr. Gomp- ers and his associates should rush into print in com- mendation of Henry Ford's cutting the wages of his employes 16 2-3 per cent, while at the same time they are urging the textile workers in the New Engiand, states to strike, rather than to accept a similar wage A prominent labor leader, who is interested in labor, rather than in politics, in speaking of Mr. Gom- pers’ praise of Henry Ford’s wage cut, said: “If Sam Gompers can get that enthusiastic over Henry Ford's layire off his force one day a week, I wonder to what hei is of ecstasy he would go in event Henry laid off all his force all the time.” While it is impossible to reconcile the viewpoints of | Mr. Gompers and his associates from purely a labor angle, it is not difficult to reconcile them when it is recalled that Mr. Ford and Mr. Gompers are hand-in- glove in a fight against the Republican administration | im an effort to carry the congressional elections this | fall for the Democratic party. Mr. Gompers is a life- |long Democrat. He has always folnd it easy to con- |done deplorable industrial conditions in Democratic sections of the country and to excuse any act of Demo-} cratic administr:‘ion that works to the injury of the) laboring classes. By the same political rule he has | never found anything in connection with any Repub- |lican administration, or with industrial conditions in Republican states, that he thought was satisfactory. Mr. Gompers has just completed a tour of the tex- tile industries in the Republican New England states urging the workers to go the limit in opposing a re- duction of wages which he says would “drag them down to the miserable conditions of the southern tex- tile mill employes.” Yet Mr. Gompers never has and will not make any effort to organize the employes in the southern textile mills and bring their wages up to; | the New England level because to do so would offend his associates in the Democratic party. Mr. Gompers is very critical just at present of the attitude of some of the administration officers toward federal employes. Yet Mr. Gompers never opened his mouth in denunciation of Postmaster General Burle- | son, whose treatment of the postal employes was a stench in the nostrils of all working classes. Mr. Gompers has always faced two ways on the | bor situation. When he thought he could make polit- ical capital against the Republican party, either in na- tional offairs or in any state, he would exhibit the | most earnest solicitude regarding the welfare of work- ing classes downtrodden by Republican rule. But | wherever industrial conditions have been under Demo-| | cratic administration, or in the Solid South, Mr. Gom- | pers has conveniently overlooked them. His attitude {in fulsome praise of Henry Ford’s wage cut of 16 2-3 | per cent in contrast with his denunciation of a textile) wage cut amounting to the game amount, is the latest example of Mr. Gompers’ two-faced attitude regarding , labor problems. =e “Se CREEL METHODS ABOLISHED. Conducting the government under the George Creel | method of propaganda is out of luck under the pres- lent Republican administration. At the height of the Wilson-Creel-Tumulty propaganda movement the vari- | ous executive departments, bureaus, commissions and | other agencies were printing 266 various publications, |running all the way from daily newspapers to weekly and monthly magazines and journals of very preten- tious nature. Today there are less than 40 govern- ment publications. Under the Democratic administration propaganda machinery was costing the taxpayers of the country approximately $2,500,000 a year. every government official of any .consequence had his own publicity bureau. Although ostensibly these publica- tions were for the purpose of keeping the people in- \formed regarding activities of the various govern- mental agencies, their real purpose was to “blow the horn” of the individual at the head of the department or bureau which maintained them to serve the Demo- cratic party and to boost the bureau and become a medium of propaganda for clubbing additional appro- priations out of congress for the purpose of maintain- ing and expanding the bureau. The taxpayers footed the bills. The Republican congress elected in 1918 attempted to eliminate these publications by inserting in the ap- propriation bills a clause which provided that no money appropriated for any executive department should be used by that department for the printing of any pub- lication unless the same had been authorized by the | joint congressional committee of printing. This effort of the Republican congress to eliminate this tremendous expense and vicious propaganda was nullified by President Wilson, who vetoed it upon the ground that it would give congress the right to exer- cise a censorship over the various executive depart- ments. The. Democratic administration at that time was looking forward to the 1920 elections and it did not | intend to give up these various publicity mediums is- sued by Democratic sdministrative officials unless it were compelled to. The Republicans had only a bare majority in either branch and were unable, therefore, to repass the act over the president’s veto. In the appropriation act for the fiscal year 1922 the congress again went on record against the printing of government publications which had no purpose except the dissemination of propaganda for some individual or some special movement by providing that all publi- cations which had not been specifically authorized by congress must suspend not later than December 1, }1921. There was also a radical reduction in the ap- propriations to the executive departments for print- | ing and binding and a further safeguard was provided | tions could be issued for the head of the executive de- partment issuing the publication to certify in writing to the public printer that such a publication was neces- sary for the proper conduct of the business of his de- partment. As a result of this restriction there are now approxi- mately only 40-such publications being issued, and as a result of the co-operation of the executive depart- ments and the joint congressional committee on print- ing it is more than likely that half of these will be discontinued, either by passing entirely out of exist- ence altogether or by being consolidated with other publications. The budget law, as it now operates, will assist ma-} terially in preventing the renewal of this scandal, for the establishment of a new publication by any execu- tive agency and the cost of it will now have to be passed upon favorably by the budget bureau before it will even be recommended to the congress, and under the present economy program it is safe to say that no such publication will receive approval of the budget bureau that is not absolutely essential to the proper conduct of the department which wishes to issue it.

WEDNESDAY, March 15.—Mar tinique, we found to be another most beautiful and mountatnous island, an overnight voyage from Dominica. It is a French colony. There are many drives by automobile through the valleys of dense foliage, down which flow beautiful, clear streams. At @ considerable elevation the country opens onto beautiful savan- nahs, from which we could look out over the hilla and valleys covered with jungles, orehards and fertile, culttvated Iands, and beyond the shifing blue sea. Returning, to come down to the town, the road leads along the edge of precipices, overlooking the low undulating 1 and lying beyond could be seen the sea in wide stretches of many colors, fading to gray at the coast line, to ocean blue and mist in the distance. Fort de France is the birthplace of Josephine de ja Pagerie, and she lived here until 18 years of age, when she went to France and later married Napoleon, emperor of France. In the park is a statue of the empress. Martinique is one of the largest of the Lesser Antilles, being 35 miles by 17 miles in area. It rained most of the day on Mar- tmique buat this did not interfere with the visitors in their quest for knowledge. A great many visited the old ruins of the city of St. Pierre at the base of Mont Pelee. Until May &, 1903, St. Pierre was a city of 35,000 inhabitants, very gay and Prosperous and with commercial ac- tivities unknown to the island now. It was in the month of April, 1902 that the people of the island saw signs of volcanic activity from Mt Pelee. They did not view it seriously, however, and continued to live their usual lives and stay in their homes. But on the.8th of May, 1902, with terrific thunderings, the old man broke loose and a cloud of molten ashes and vapor rolled down the mountainside upon the town and in less time than it takes to pen these lines the town was inundated in the mass of lava, and every inhabitant was suffocated with the exception of one lone man, who was in jail. Eruptions continued for sometime after that and r villages were destroyed but the truction of none was so complete as St. Pierre. To view this destruction cf 1902 we embarked in automobiles at Fort de France and made the trip of 20 miles over a mountainous road that discounts any mountain road in Wyoming or Colorado for short turns and curves. In truth there ‘was not a hundred yards of straight road on the entire trip. It was a most beautiful drive through a mountain range almost buried with a dense jungle growth that proved a revelation to those of our party from Wyoming, if not to somg of the New Englanders who had Visited the West Indies before. Every kind of a tree, plant and fruit grown in the tropics was In evidence on _ this journey. ‘ Our guide was Emfle Calgier, a boy of 18 years, and born of Arabian parents in Bethlehem, Egypt. How in the world he ever came to emi- grate to this place I cannot tell. After arriving at the old ruins of St. Pierre the rain disappeared and we had a very interesting visit. It was especially so on account of the catastrophe haying occurred in our day and easily remembered by most of the tourists. The one soul survivor, the man who was in jail, was badly burned, but for some reason unknown to mankind, he escaped the fumes and is alive today and living in Fort de France. St. Lucia. THURSDAY, Merch 16.—St. Lucia is a British colony. When approach- ing it, St, Lucia resembles Domin- ica; with a somewhat similar succes- sion of high peaks and promon- tories. In some reepects St. Lucia is grander than Dominica, owing to the great peaka the “Pitons” rising HISTORIC ISLANDS OF MARTINQUE, ST. LUCIA AND BARBADOS HOLD BIG ATTRACTION FOR TROPIC TOURIST (BY J. E. HANWAY,) sheer out of the sea, one to a height of 2,750 feet and the other to 3,000 feet. Of all the Windward islands, St. Locia is perhaps «he most in- teresting to a student of history. It was for a century and a half the scene of continuous warfare. Its possesion was contested by the Eng- sh and the French and again and again soldiers carried the ocean fortress by storm and year after year naval fleets were engaged cith er in its capture or defenso. In the harbor of Castries the ship proceeded alongside the dock, on which were huge piles of coal. It was interesting to watch the native women coal the ship, carrying great baskets of coal on their heads in a continuous line up the gangplank. ‘There were many women and they worked fast and many hundred tons were loaded into the ship's bunkers in the day's time. After witnessing the coaling for some little time we took an auto- mobile trip to the top of the moun- tain known as “Mournful Tune,” which was just back of Castries. The governor's mansion and the barracks formerly occupied br the British soldiers were built on the mountainside. The view of the har- bor and city was very beautiful ‘The drive which was made in an Overland car was a steeper grade than the average western mountain road-in the states. ‘We left St. Lucia early in the afternoon following shore-leave and reached Barbados sometime during the night. Barbados. FRIDAY, March 17.—St. Patrick's day dawned bright and balmy and everyone was on deck early with thelr green tes in celebration of the day. Going ashore we viewed the town and then engaged an automo- bile for a drive through the wonder- ful sugar plantations. We saw some ancient’ sugar mills, so ancient that they were equipped with old wind- mills that are so common in Hol- land and Sweden. The modern mills are equipped with steam boilers to supply the motive power. All along the wonderful roads, which were surfaced with coral for- mation, the cane was being harvest- ed. Old two-wheeled ox carts and some modern trucks like those used between Casper and the oil fields, were in service transporting the hogsheads of syrup to the port where most of it is shipped to the United States and Canada. ‘The laws in the British West In- My Yesterday They say Today alone belongs to us, ‘The Future still with God; But even He would never take From me my Yesterday.

When we think of William F. Cody our minds naturally drift to scouting trips, but. falo hunts and wild west perform. ances beneath a white-topped tent— but out in Wyoming they will tell you he was of great assistance to devel- opment. He did things. The Sho- shone valley learned the trick of fr- rigation from ‘Buffalo Bill’ and the dottrine of irrigation was fruitfully spread over the state largely through his propaganda. If America ever had a man who knew how to be convinc- ing with publicity it was William F. Cody. “Cody, the man, will not be forgot- ten by Americans. In addition to the statue to be erected at Cody and the town itself to perpetuate his memory, the ol@ plainsman’s grave on the top of Lookout mountain, near Denver already is one of the popular spots for visitors in the west.

The Cody Memorial Possibly no man of Wyoming, in his lifetime, possessed a wider ac- quaintance in the world and by the same token, no hero, passed to the Great Beyond is held in more loving memory. Then it is not strange to find in far away Louisiana, in the New Orleans Times-Picayune this public tribute: “Wyoming is planning a memorial to ‘Buffalo Bill.’ Money for this pur- pose was appropriated by the state legislature five years ago but inter- vention of the world war necessi- tated a postponement, Now, however, arrangements are in full swing and before long an imposing statue will be unveiled in the square opposite the hotel in Cody, Wyo., that catches so many tourists who are bound for Yellowstone National park.
