In the following statement he makes it clear and plain: “Nothing since the senate finance committee in- troduced the tariff bill has so truthfully branded ihe opposition to the tariff as President Harding's attack before the chamber of commerce on ‘consci- enceless business.’ If it were not for the interna- tional bankers who are profiteering as the presi- dent said by buying cheaply abroad and selling at hold-up prices to the American consumer, this tariff bill would be passed within a few weeks. As it is, if this conscienceless lobby and propaganda ef the importers cotinues to support a Demo- cratic filibuster it may be months before the Amer- ican people obtain relief from present chaotic in- dustrial conditions. “Throughout the country international bankers are spreading reports that the allied nations con- not pay their debts to the United States if we en- act this tariff bill. This is an absurd argument and a shortsighted policy. In the first place many things those countries produce we cannot. We can continue to buy from them what we cannot pro- duce here. We purchase hundreds of millions of dollars worth of raw materials and finished prod- ucts from the whole world which we do not produce here. The tariff is not going to interfere with this oommerce, “Let those nations which owe us such vast sums pay us in goods which do not rob the American; worker of a livlibood to develop his business in this country. The argument of the importers and inter- nationalists that we must let Germany, France, England, Italy, Belgium, Central and Northern European countries work while our people walk the streets is not only absurd but as conscienceless as the policy of buying the products of these countries in depreciated foreign paper xzoney and selling at several thousand per cent profit to the American consumer, “Eyer since this tariff bill has been before the senate there has been no doubt about the source of the opposition. It is in the minds of the bank- ers and importers who have became too big for America, whose interests are world interests so long as they can make money out of the American peopldq to finance their world-wide schemes. I want other nations to be prosperous but I am con- vinced that we can best help the world by presery: ing .and increasing our prosperity here. This is not true of the international bankers who invested in foreign securities and whose hearts are where their money is. This is the same crowd which tried to jam this country into the league of nations. They would sell the American markets to European pro- ducers for the next hundered years if they could profit by it themselves. “This is another example of conscienceless busi- ness. “Ever since this tariff bill has been before the senate the Democrats have been harping on the con- sumer. They have said that the consumer is the one most vitally interested in the tariff. They try to camouflage their real policy, which is free trade, by waving the flag of the consumer. They forget that our prosperity as a nation rests upon our production. If we legislate to take care of pro- ducers no one will be benefitted more than the con- sumer who is a producer himself unless he is a loafer or a tramp. I am interested in seeing con- gress legislate to protect workers not in the inter- est of more loafers. The task of congress is now to pass legislation, which will encourage pro- duction. If the industries, mines, mills and farms of the country are busy making and raising pro- duce the consumer will be taken care of by na- tion-wide prosperity. “But so long as the conscienceless business in- terests which sow abroad and reap their profits from American pocketbooks continue to filibuster against the tariff and delay its passage, just so long will the producers of this country be at the mercy of unfair, dishonest competition in their home markets.” For Sound Reasons R. HARDING'S decision not to send represen- tatives of the American government to Genoa and The Hague to attend a conference which would recognize the Soviet government of Russia was based upon fundamentally sound reasons. Al- though certain European interests may be di pleased, it is only temporary; and these interests and the world at large will ultimately come to view the action with approval as the best for the} permanent welfare of all concerned. To recognize the Soviet regime and extend it a loan of the desired billion dollars would not Jead to a restoration of industry in Russia. The bil- lion dollars would be used directly or indirectly to maintain the military organization by which the Lenin government keeps itself in power. If the} money should be directly employed in industry,| other funds to a corresponding amount would be! withdrawn from industry, to support the military organization. The whole Bolshevik scheme of con- | fiseation, euphoniously culled “*ationalization.” is| unsound and must ultimai:; fall. A loan to the Soviet government cannot afford even a temporary is ana 16|Telief to the Russian people. _ Pouring” American money into the vaults of an international: thief would but en the thief | to continue in his evil ways. It would afford him the means of supporting himself in his nefarious business. <a Certain European nations would be pleased to see the United States extend direct aid to Soviet Rus- sia, for they would be the immediate beneficiaries in every dollar so spent. In the end, however, they will see the futility of such compromises with dis- honor, and will commend the wisdom and courage which guided the American president in declining to temporize, with Bolshevism. Opportunity in "America ‘DIVIDUAL ENTERPRISE, under a constitu- tional government like that of the United | States, offers every opportunity and every encour- agement to the citizen who would advance. The advantages are in striking contrast with the dis- couragements that exist under other forms and particularly the communistic plan that at present exists in Russia. Americans take so much delight in recording the attainments of those who start out in life with no aid except their own individual ability and energy that one might almost reach the conclusion that there is little opportunity for the son of a wealthy family. The attainments of those who rise from modest surroundings are so widely heralded that there might almost be an impression that the young man of wealthy antecedents stands little show of making a success by his personal ef- forts. The fact is, however. that under the assurance of equal opportunity which a constitutional gov- ernment affords, where. property rights are re spected and protected there is practically no limit to the success that may be attained by either the rich or the poor. In the last few years, two young men of well known families have attained na- tional prominence entirely through their own abil- ity and efforts, notwithstanding their families were possessed of unusual wealth. One of these young men is John Hays Hammond, Jr., who has invented many devices in connection with wireless control of seacraft. The other is Sherman M. Fairchild of New York, who has attained world-wide distinction by inventions in aerial photography. So far as gaining a livelihood’is concerned prob- ably neither of these young men needed to do any work whatever. They could have gone into some line of business where their invested capital would have brooght them a sure and steady income with- out any personal exertion on their own part. They chose rather, a career that required the most exact- ing personal attention, and, as a result of their efforts, have contributed to the world’s store of sci- entific knowledge and have benefited mankind for all time to come. There would have been neither encouragement nor opportunity under a communistic government for either of these young men. Having their money taken away from them would have hurt them least of all. They were using not their money but their brains. A communistic government, exercising the right te nationalize everything, would have under- taken to tell them in what occupation they should engage and probably would have set one of them tilling fields and the other bearing a rifle in a soviet army. If in their spare time under a soviet government they created inventions which would be of beuefit to the world they would be denied the special rewards of their efforts for the government would have confiscated their rights and their prop- erty. Under such a system there would be no in- “ament whatever to put forth the effort neces- sary to discover the methods by which new and more valuable use could be made of wireless trans- mission or of optical devices. These illustrations serve to erfiphasize the truth that it is not only the man of property who gains advantage under a constitutional form of govern- ment but every individual who has the desire to work, to create, and to enjoy the rewards of his energy and his ability. / Provide Our Own NSWERABLE is the statement of Chairman Lasker of the shipping board as an argument for a permanent American merchant marine, when he says: “Who can be so blind as not to see that Europe will very properly in her own interest find the way and the means to refuse us ships when we need them most, if that refusal spells her control of markets in which we would compete with her for mastery.” Under ordinary conditions, the merehant fleets of European nations wili carry our commodities in foreign trade at as high a rate as they can fix, and they will give us only as good service as they must. Prior to the war, when most of our carry- ing trade was in foreign bottoms, it was necessary for American products to go to South America and Africa by way of Europe, in most cases. A sit- uation like that is absurd and intolerable. Even if the foreign ship owner gave the American ex- porter a fair deal in the matter of rates and time of delivery we were at a tremendous disadvantage because of the unnecessary distance of transporta- tion. If to this disadvantage, the foreign ship owner added some extra charges because, of his control of the service, and permitted Afnerican goods to be deixyed in transit in order that his own country might benefit thereby, the handicep would be overwhelming. i There are three great undeveloped regiou> of the world today—South America, Africa and Siberia. Russia is also relatively undeveloped, but its geo- graphical location is such that the United States cannot hope to enjoy more than a minor share of its future commerce. But in Africa, South America and Siberia, American trade should find abundant opportunity in the next fifty or sixty years. It is true that Great Britain has a trémendous advantage in Africa because of its mandates oyer most of the continent which it did not already con- trol, and yet that is an advantage which we might overcome, by offering to that undeveloped conti- nent a irade service better than any other nation can maintain. Africa and South America and Si- beria will need all sorts of farm machinery, rail- roads, railroad equipment, building materials, fac- tory machinery, office equipment, and all the sup- plies that are necessary in establishing civilization in a wilderness. No other nation is better prepared to supply these needs than is the United States, but if we are to supply them and gain the certain ad- vantage that will come to American labor and American capital, we must have a regular, depend- able and adequate ocean transportation service that will put us in close touch with all the principal ports of these regions of future wealth. Others nations aid their merchant marine by subsidies in one form or another, and, in order to meet that sort of competition, the United States must expect to adopt a similar policy, as pro- posed in pending legislation. For a nation like the United States to depend upon the nations of Europe for ocean transporta tion is simply rank folly. be Casper Daily Cribune WE DON’T CARE WHATHAPPENS TO THIS BIRD WHAZZAMATTER WITH You ?

His assailant lifted the case from the ordinary rou- tine by refusing counsel and pleading his cwn case in court. As a result, the case became the show of the town for the time being. Lawyers spoke learn- edly of the criminal’s surprising knowledge of the law; men of every walk of life debated his shrewdness, his courage. No one sald much as to his guilt or innocence; the question was whether he or the prosecuting attorney would prove the smarter. He got off with a life sentence as the penalty for a brutal murder. ““People looked upon this case as a game between the prosecutor and an unusually clever criminal. The peo- ple were spectators, not participants, “Yet the people should be partici- pants. “Every crime is directed against every law-abiding citizen, individually. body. {ime when, as today in Omaha, there comes an outbreak of criminal activ- lity that puts honest citizens virtual-) ly in a state of slege, fearful of rob- bery, assault and murder. It 1s well to remember that peniten-! tiaries were pece! institutions before} | they were considered as reformatories. the original purpose of confining a man in jail was to punish him and de- ter others, not to reform him. That | still should be the principal purpose of every prison sentence. “Every human being has certain rights, but among them is no right to| regain his liberty after commission of a crime, because of promised or in- tended reformation. The crime consti- tuted a definite blow at the structure of organized society. It contributed its part big or little, to upset those standards of conduct which are a ne-' ceasity to the safety of all of us. The criminal who reforms still owes it to) his fellow man that he repair the damage, that he pay a penalty suf-| ficiently adequate to deter others from commission of like crimes. He owes @ debt to the past no less than a/ Promise to the future. “The criminal has had plenty of sym-; pathy in recent years, sympathy from social workers, sympathy from news- papers, sympathy from men and wom- en of all sorts who, seem to see in him some romantic element which tugs at their heartstrings. Somo of us have been busy finding reasons for the criminal's existence, excuses for his acts, trying to blame it all upon’ society. : “It is about time that sympathy for ourselves.” 7 Agricultural Credits Bill re have some During the discussion of the bill proposing to extend for one year the period under which the War Finance corporation might make loans to live- stock and agricultural interests, which legislation received the final 0. K. of congress last week, Congressman Mondell announced that within a short time a comprehensive agricul- tural credits bill would be perfected and presented for enactment. Urging the immediate ehactment of the bill continuing for a year the War Fi- nance corporation, Mr. Mondell said it was not expected that an organiza- tion created to meet * war situation would become permanent. He ex- pressed the hope, however, that the general agricultural credits measure ‘The criminal is not merely an antag-|now being formulated would result onist of the officers of the law.

What is it made of?” “Milky quartz,” said Ned. “Of course, I might have known— but come now,,you don’t expect me} to believe that you know this: is aj game point? And how did It get here? And how do you know it is an Indian arrow point? And—" “Just a minute,” laughed Ned, “one question at a time. See there in the! sandy bank, those black streaks of! soll? And those shells? That is a/ kitchen, as collectors call it—a place| where the Indians camped and cooked | and lived and their arrow makers also’ worked in such camps. I bet you if we dug into that bank. we would find @ lot of things.” Ned had scarcely finished his sen- tence before Ted had grabbed a piece of board from the driftwood and be- gan digging into the black streaks of soil in the ban’, Ned joined him and examined every Uttle piece of stone and chip until he held aloft a bl triangular piece and shouted, “Here's) a war point!” Ted dropped his board and ran to | look. “Tell me,” he begged, “If you really know the difference between a game point and a war point—if there is any difference? There's no particular difference between the bullets used in war and by hunters and I don’t see—" “You will see, if you will look,” in- terrupted Ned. The point ‘Ted first found is (A), The one Ned found is (B). Ned pro- ceeded to explain: “The game points have a neck or notch in them so that |they will hold to the arrow shaft when bound on, and the hunter can| get back his poirt merely by pulling lit out, (See AA) “But the war point- has. no uotch.| If a warrior is wounded and starts to} pull out the arrow, the head will re; main in the wound. (See BB) “This war point is black Mint, but they used many kinds of pees quartz, feldspar, flint, obsidian, any- thing that would flake so the points could be made.” explained Ned. <q had not been so interested since » started camping. As they dug into the layer of bia soil which was a foot below the cur face—this having been caused by numerable Indian camp fires—; found many flint chips which x explained were flaked from the larr- pieces as the arrow-maker made th. points. Ned found a very small thin point of yellowish flint, almost as sharp a: @ needle and quite evenly made. He was very excited about it himself. “These little points were used in shooting birds, wild turkeys, duck and such things,” he said. (C) “Here is one about half made—see how round and thick it is? said Tea Ned examined it. “Fish point— made that way purposely so it will shoot straighter in the water. Tho Indians shot most of their fish.” (D) The boys found nearly a peck of flint chips or flakes and algo a dozen or so wonderful specimens, amo: them a splendid stone axe, as sho by (E). “I've found lots of these things,” said Ted, showing Ned a brownish, coarse, flat substance, (See F). “Pottery — broken — bushels of it here,” was Ned's comment. “They n |made dishes out of clay roughly baked and crudely ornamented with curves and cross lines—but you don't find a whole dish once in a blue moon —it broke too easily,” was Ned's ex- planation. “I'm going to start a collection,” declared Ted. “T'l help yor said his cousin, and that was the beginning of a splendid collection that Ted made.
