Brooks and as ence Richardson and their associates; and a con- cern that occupies a high position not only in the estimation of their thousands of stockholders but in the business and_investment world as well. Can- solidated Royalty hes advanced twenty points in the-past few weeks. This upon the inherent -value of the stock. It is elways looked upon as a solid investment, and the es of Brooks and Rich- ardson have had no liftle to-do with the high rep- utation of the corporation management and the con: ent-value back of the-certificates. And the New York Oil company, the monument left by the late Frank G. Curtis, now under the capable direction »f Minal B. Young. The value of the shares of this company have gone forward from a value-of 413 in February to $36.60 ht the present date. It was the sofidity -given-to-the stock ofthis con- cern imits inception and growth by Mr. Curtis and Mr. Young that has made.for-the present-day value of its securities. There are other concerns in which Casper takes pride, equally well established and honestly nian aged. These two are merely mentioned as ex amples. eo ee, SA Takes Lusk by Storm “ LARGEST and most enthusiastic audi- ence ever gathered at a political meeting in Niobrara county,” is the way the Lusk Herald speaks of the reception of Hon. John W. Hay at Lusk. Continuing its report of the.meeting the Herald says: “John W..Hay-induiges in: attempts no- oratory, waves no flags, roasts no op ts in fact, he shvots straight from the shoulder in much the same manner as he would were he ad- dressing the board of directors in one of his own companies. Briefly sketching his career since he came to Wyoming in 1883 to serve the Union Pacific rail- road as a night telegraph operator, Mr. Hay ad- vanced to his recent activities in connection with organizing the Joint Stock Land bank, and then took up the issues of the coming campaign. “I want to say to you that the question before the people of this state is taxes,” was-one of his re- marks that called for applause. ‘State govern- ment must be handled on business ines. We can- not stand still, but musteither go-ahead-or go back *** We must start.at the top and come-down—ex- penses must be curtailed * * * If I am elected I will put into the state government the same busi- ness efficiency I would put into-any-other business * * * What you want is results * * * I intend to yisit every community~in the state.and know for my- self the needs of each community. *“*-* All I ask is-a fair deal? “There you have a few ofthe crisp, jetly de- livered, though powerful punches delivered by the man who many people refer to as ‘Wyoming’s next governor. “Mr. Hay-occupied»remarkably few minutes -in-de- livering his message. More than a few were heard to express a desire that he return to Lusk—they wanted more of J. W. Hay. Mr. Hay’s closing was followed by applause that threatened to develop into-an encore.” ee Se The Trend ‘Satisfactory Pe STATES fhave held primary elections at which candidates for congress have been nemi- nated by all parties. These states are in the order in which they have held primaries, South Dakota, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Oregon. This list comprises industrial states and those which are strictly agricultural states. It embraces a typi- cal Eastern state, a Pacific coast state and three middle west states. It embraces states which con- tain Chicago and» Philadelphia, the secon@ and third largest cities in the United States. Pennsyl- yania, Indiana and Illinois have within their bor- ders an overwhelming percentage of the coal min- ing industry and the steel and iron industry of the United States. These three states have within their boundaries tens of thousands of railroad em- ployes, and the largest railroad centers and shops in the Tritted States are located in these states. The industries in these three states are gigantic and varied. Every leading industry in the country is represented by large factories in one or all of these three states. Illinois is the largest agricultural state in the union. Indiana stands well toward the top of the list in agricultural products. Pennsylvania has within its borders some of the richest agricultural sections in America. South Dakota is strictly an agricultural state that has come from the bottom to one of the Jeading agricultural commonwealths in the union. Oregon’s agricultural, fruit and tim- ber productions rank well toward the top. The mercantile and banking interests in these five s are tremendous. brief, in these five states there exist all of ious classificiations of industry and business exist anywhere in this country. These five sta 7|ord by = renomination. If there is abroad in +2. in the house of representatives asked for renomina- | states it.a typical cross-section of American | Sitisenchip and American. activi cit- \ies, far-reaching prairies, aliens, Americans, pro- ducers and consumers. if there-exists in this country a widespread dis- satisfaction with the Republican congress it would be in evidence.somewhere within these five states )4unong some of the classes and activities it would) j undoubtedly voice itself at the polls in protest| | against the-present members of the house.of } | Sentatives, who went before the electorate-imthese states und asked for an endorsementcof their ree-} land a determination upon the part of the American Fublic, or upon even an appreciable fraction of | the public a determination to rebuke the present administration. it would make itself manifest in the primaries in these states when members repre- seting the legislative branch of this administration asked for renomination. What do the returns show? In Sonuth Dakota -the three Republican. congress- mer. who are now serving asked for renomination: | they obtained it. In Ilinois 21 Republicans now in | the house of representatives asked for renomina tion; 19-received it. In Indiana 12.Republicans now tion and 12 received it. In Pennsylvania 29 Re- publicans now ‘in the house of representatives asked for renomination and 25 received it. In Ore. gon three Republicans now in the-house of repre-| sentatives asked for renomination and three receiy- ed it. All told, in these five states 68 Republicans who are serving in the house of representatives asked for renomination and 62 received it. In view of this, there is hardly any further argu ment needed to refute the Democratic claims that the Republican primaries are indicating dissatis faction with the administration and that the trend of public sentiment clearly forecasts a return to power of the Democratic party. | { Profits of Importers HE PRESIDENT, in his address before the | United States Chamber of Commerce, referred | to those importing interests which are bringing for. eign-made goods into the United States at a ridic. ulously low figure and.selling them to the Ameri- can consumer ut prices which reap the importing interests thousands.of per cent. profit. This prac: tice was branded by the president as “Commerce Without Conscience.” These are the interests, which are using their influence both within and without the United States senate to prevent the enact- =e of a protective tariffs ey pretend their opposition.is based-upon their desire to save the consumer. Their real attitude toward the American consumer can be accurately ascertained by a reference to the records. They are buying hundreds of millions of dollars worth of goods abroad. Whai they pay for them is evidenced by the invoices at the customs houses. What they sell them for to the American consumer is a mat- ter which can be ascertained at the counter of the large department stores. According to the records*which are:in evidence, a certain style of pocket knives made abroad are being imported into this country at.22.5 cents-apiece and being sold by the stores which imported for $5, clear profit to the importing stores of 2,170 per cent. Another style of pocket knife which contains three blades and a file is being imported into this vountry for 9.6 cents and being sold. by the im- porting stores for $5, a profit of 5,455 per cent! Another style of pecket knife which contains one blade, one file and one small pair of scissors is being imported into this country for 63.5 cents ind sold at retail by the importing store+for $8.50, a profit of 1,250 per cent. Japanese cups and saucers. are bein; imported into this country for 37.5 cents a toned and are being sold at retail by the importing stores for $4.20 a dozen, a clear profit of 1,035 per cent. Electric flat irons are imported for 19 cents and sold by the importing concern to the consumers for $6.75, a clear profit of 3,452 per cent. A clock impérted for $1.66 is being sold at retail by the importing interests at $40, a clear profit of 2,309 per cent. This list could be continued until it enumerated hundreds upon hundreds of articles which are be- ing brought into the country and sold to the con- sumers at figures which enable the importing in- terests to reap profits of from 1,000 per cent to 5,400 per cent. From this it is perfectly apparent that the im- porting interests opposed to the enactment of a protective tariff are opposed to it because it would stop their robbing the American consumer and making inordinate profits. Moreover, under the present conditions which they would have contin- importing trade like that.” These importing in- fluences have no motive other than greed. They have no concern for the prosperity of their coun- try; they have no-concern for the interests of the American consumer. They are out to destroy the American manufacturer because it profits them to do so. They-have no-concern for the American la- boring man who-depends upon American industry for his employment. They would shut down Ameri- can factories and make of this country a nation of hucksters and peddlers in order to fill their pockets. The enactment-of a protective tariff would not raise the retail price of a single article. What it would do would be to raise the price of imported goods, to-such a point that these large mercantile interests would be unable to buy goods abroad cheaper than they could buy them of manufactuz- ers in this country. This would give business to the American manufacturer and employment to the American laboring man; but it would not change the retail price one cent. Relief from What? ‘T IS CONCEDED that Senator Watson's address before the Indiana state convention is the key- note of the congressional campaign now in its first stages. It will be so accepted and the fight will be waged along the lines laid down by this doughty Republican warrior. It is quite natural that Senator Watson would pick up the charge oft repeated by the Democrats, that the Republican congress had done nothing since it came into power a little over a year ago. And in delivering his answer a characteristic re- ply was to be expected. Upon the point Senator Watson said “There was so much to do when we took charge that it appears as if no great things have been done, but, in the light of the evidence that can be adduced and in view of the results of the laws thus far enacted, who will rise to repeat, except for rank partisan purposes, that this is a domnothing con | gress? | _ “Who will charge that we have been remiss in the discharge of our obligations to the people, who will dare assert that we have failed to fulfill our prom- ises to the people and to redeem the pledges made in the last campaign? “Even if this charge were true, it is better to do} nothing than always to do wrong. It is better to sit still than to move only to destroy. It is better to have-one’s fingers paralyzeed than to use strong ‘ones to write checks with no funds to pay, sign warrants with no cash to meet them, and issue bonds with no method provided for their redemp- tion. Better, altogether better, Republican watch- ful indifference than a debt-incurring, deficit- creating, bond-issuing, surplus-scattering, factory- closing, industry-paralyzing, prosperity-destroying, social-upheaving, cataclysm-producing, . Democratic administration. “They boldly assert that we have not given relief to the country. Relief from what, pray? Mavni- festly from the results of two Democratic admin- istrations, for there is nothing else to be relieved from. My friends, we did not produce all of this wreckage. We are not responsible for all this waste. We did not incur these debts. We have not piled up this mountain of obligations, and these gentlemen who are responsible for all this riotous orgy of extravagance and all this upsetting of in- dustry and unsettling of financial conditions, now! stand up to jeer us because in 14 months we have not overcome all the evil they produced in eight years. “Tt is as if 2 mob marched through a town and dynamited and ravaged and plundere? and destroy- and an honest effort was being made by the prop- | erty holders to gather up the fragments and to be- gin the reconstruction of their destroyed and ruin- ed property, the members of the mob should stand by and jeer at them and scoff at them and inter- fere with them because they were not able in a few days to build up all thatthe mob had thus rio- tously ruined. “Anybody can throw a monkey wrench into a ma- chive that works with frictionless precision and so damage it that it will take a skillful mechanic a long time to repair it, and even tyros in govern- ment, in an incredibly short space of time, can create more difficulties and stir up more strifes and cause more troubles than wise men can orer- come in many years. “Fellow citizens, we have not yet accomplished | all that we set out to do. We have not cured all the | ills and evils of eight years of Democratic misrule, | but certainly we havo taken long strides in the | right direction, and assuredly if the Republican party cannot readjust matters, what hope is there in turning to the organization that caused all this | disaster in the beginning? | _ “It is either the Republican party with its cau- Bat and constructive way of proceeding or the | Democratic party over aghin with all that means ed and then when law and order *: The Dancers Far from the turmoil and the dust of trade ¥rom the daily slaveries, the dancers spin: Dear jeweledJadles, are you not ufraid Of afl those pallid faces looking in?

Congressmen. indulge in this harmless amusement all day long sometimes the congressmen write their own bills, but more often their secretaries or their stenographers or their friends write them. When the bills are written the congressmen take them oyer to the floor of the house and drop them in a basket, Later they are printed, so that they look far more important and official than they really are. Only a few years ago there were more than 33,000 bills introduced in the house of representatives during @ single congress. Such bills include almost everything except recipes for making rum. They remove the charge of desertion from a military record of Ozro Fittermouse, grant a pension to Clairvoya D, Ectoplasm, authorize the secretary of war to grant two condemned brass cannon to the city of Onicaville, provide for the survey of Goober River and Lizard Creek and their tributaries in Georgia, Prevent prize fighting on vessels using wharfage facilities in the District of Columbia, enable the secretary of ag- riculture to conduct experiments and determine the practicability of making Paper out of cornstalks, grant an in- crease of pension to all persons who have lost the use of one eye in sam- pling bootleg liquor in the interests of prohibition enforcement, provide for the broadcasting of speeches in congress by radio, pay Jonas McNutt for the loss of a horse, declare the selling, exchanging or giving away of any pistol, bowle knife, dirk or dirk knife, blackjack, dagger, sword cane, slung shot, brass or other metal knuckle in the District of Columbia a misdemeanor, 1~Smtmg an act ex- tending an act entitlea an“S®amend- ing an set entitled an act to estab- lsh a navy yard somewhere in North Dakota, and what not. Though the average bill is meaning- ‘ad been restored | of incompetency and inefficiency and misrule.” less, worthless and practically dead before it starts, it must be acted on by the house in some way. As can readily be understood, even by those who visw politics as some great de- testable disease, the house as a whole couldn’t pass judgment on 33,000 bills. If it devoted onty 10 minutes to each bill {t would have to sit continuously for almost four years in order to dis- pose of them. Consequently all bills are dealt out to different committees, which either throw them in the wastebasket and forget them or doctor them up and bring them out on the floor of the house, where they are disposed of with neatness and celerity. Tho seven or 21 or 35 members of a committee know a good deal about the bills which they bring out on the floor of the house, and the 490 other mem bers don’t know much of anything about them. So the 400 ignorant ones usually and of necessity accept the recommendations of the few informed ones, which would be a fine thing if the informed ones were always right. Unfortunately they are frequently wrong, owing to the fact that they are sometimes made up of or headed by small bore politicians with unerr- Ing instincts for doing the wrong thing. That ts one of the-unfortunate features of the committee system. But the house makes just as much speed when it is wrong as when it is right, ‘The house prides ftself on fts celer- tty. Tt has so much business to trans- act and so little time in which to transact it that ft cannot afford to listen to antmated windbags of the sort that are-permitted to wheeze and blow without restraint on the floor of the senate, There are plenty of animated windbags on the floor of the house; but when they wish to bée- come windy they must hie them to the cloakrooms or to the pages of the Congresional Record or to their homes—or secure an election to the senate.

What Ambassador Harvey did in these-early months was to pre- pare the way for the Washington con- ference, and an understanding of what he did in relation to that grent objective of the President will make it easier to see how his other successes followed. In a word, he cured the Brit- ish of their disappointment over the league and led them, through quite another channel, to that co-operation with America which has served the purposes of both better them the The air with fragrant fancies and dis- tls . ‘ Faint attars from the clover tops, then sighs And yearning through the cornfield drops and dies, But still the daisies weave their white questrilles.

Harvey’s First Year “Tt is a remarkable record that at the close of the first year of Am- bassador George Harvey’s service in London, an occasion that has received unusua! notice from the British press an official of the foreign office was able to declare, “As between Great Britain and the United States the slate is clean.” notes the Kansas City Star. “That the slate is clean means that Ambassador Harvey has successfully accompanied a most difficult and del- icate task in a remarkably short time. When he went to London the diplo- matic relations between America and Britain were not happy. They were worse than if there had been any great single outstanding controversy, for they were in that condition that fesults from a Jong succession of what has been called pin pricks. The United States had not joined the Teague of nations. There were open questions regarding mandates and AngloJnpanese alll- ance. These and many other ques- tons involving the war settlements to which the United States was not ® y had left our relations with the British uncertain, unsatisfactory and a little touchy. “This Yowering diplomatic horizon 1s clear today. Ambassador Harvey, although new to diplomacy and tak- ing with him to Great Britain a repu- tation for somewhat truculent pollt- fecal controversy, has ‘succeeded in the most delicate of arts and the one most opposed to that in which his abilities had heretofore been disclosed. His public utterances in England, though fragk, have been admirably caluculated to win a hearing. He told the British they must not hope Amer- ica would come into the league, and once the British understood that they league ever could have done. Through that cooperation all those vexing questions which the Spectator, tn a recent comment on Ambassador Har- vey’s successes, Ikened to the con- tents of a Bluebeard’s closet,- have been brought out into the clarifying air and disposed of. “It is a gratifying record tn which the country, the administration and the ambassador can take equal pride. (What the London Times tn felieitating isn't a league, to be sure, nor even an association, and persons American or British who stand ont for names for things may not be wholly satis- fied. But it is the reality that counts, and for his share in bringing it about in so short a time, and under many difficulties of which both countries furnished a share, Ambassador Har- vey well merits the many congratn- lations he is receiving on both sides of the Atlantic.” The Legless Age One of the most modern of civic (problems ‘s what to do with the auto- mobiles «wh'ch are waiting to take Barbara or Mae or Ethelle home from school.
