Hay in every section of the state he has visited since announcing hiq candidacy for governor is very gratifying to himself and his friends, and proves the confidence the people have in him. Disparaging no candidate for the office of governor nor me one who has heretofore held that high office, there has been no previous opportunity to secure the services of a mar so ideally equipped for the duties of the office as John Hay. His wide experience in business affairs, like transportation, construction, mining, ranching, oil, livestock pro- duction, banking and finance, with a background of public affairs from the citizens standpoint, brings into the service of the people a knowledge of the principal activities of the state that is ex- tremely valuable to them. John Hy is enabled to talk to them in the langnage of their own business and to advise with full understanding as to the needs and requirements that induce prosperous con- ditions. It is assumed that the people of Wyoming are weary of supporting a useless overhead in state government and are prefectly willing to reduce it without impairing its efficiency of the state’s busi-| ness. In this Mr. Hay leads the way. He unhesi tatingly declares for the elimination of numerous of the commissions and bureaus that have grown up and eling to the ship like barnacles, and whose only apparent purpose seems to be to draw salary from the state treasury. His notion is that state government is a purely business proposition to be condneed on the same general principals as a well organized business concern. Managed with the {same care and fidelity to the interests of the peo- ‘ple as a commercial establishment is to the inter- ests of its owners. It is announced that Mr. Hay will shortly visit Casper when it is hoped that those who are not at present numbered among his acquaintances and friends will have an opportunity to become such, and learn what manner of man he is. 'A Sound Policy EGINNING with our colonial history and con tinuing on down to the first use of steam nay- igation American merchant ships held their own in world competition; for there were no better ship builders or navigators than the Americans. But m after the successful operation of ocean steam- ships began, GreatBritain established a system of subsidies which gave her ocean transportation a decided advantage. In order to enable American Steamship owners to compete in the operation of fast steamers, the United States congress passed, in 1845 a subsidy law which provided for carrying NN ———————— the mails under contract with the postoffice de- partment. The law had the desired effect for as stated by Marvin in his history of the American merchant marine, “Although Great Britain was originally a full decade ahead of us in the subsidy fostering of her steamship interests, we had gained so swiftly after 1848 that in 1851 our steam fleet and Britain's were practically equal.” The subsidy policy gave the United States the fastest trans-Atlantic steamers and provided an aid in the development of our foreign commerce. From an inferior nation in steamship service, we became the equal if not the superior of Great Brit- ain. A reversal of the policy of affording our merchant ships government aid equal to that pro- vided by Great Britain resulted in the sale of and a cessation of construction. The destructive effects of the war, when American ships became the ready victims of privateers, completed the story of disaster, and, as the United States did not re- turn to a subsidy policy, there was a steady de- cline in the proportion of foreign commerce car- ried in ships carrying the American flag. As a consequence, the United States was com- pelled to look to other nations for ships to’ carry our troops and supplies during the war with Spain, and once more during our participation in the war in Europe. Our hasty and unbusinesslike ship con- struction during the European war gave us a large merchant fleet at the same time that our European rivals had suffered losses from the attacks of Ger- man submarines. Before the outbreak of the war in Europe, we were carrying less than 10 per cent of our ocean trade in our own ships. War condi- tions brought that percentage slightly above fifty but today only about 25 per cent of our foreign commerce is carried in American bottoms. At the present rate of decline, we woul be doom- ed to another period of dependence on the mer- ant ships of other nations, were it not for the Republican legislation now before congress, the enactment of which would place the operators of American vessels on an equality with their rivals. Our Usual Business RASPING eagerly at every incident which can be distorted into on indication of an intention on the part of the Harding administration to vary from its determination not to interefere with pure ly European affairs one of the more prominent Democratic journals fi a manifestation of such a tendency in the decision of the department of state to co-operate with Great Britain in investi gating the situation in Asia Minor. the Democratic writer, arouses the deepest inter- est in Paris. The question is asked, “Does it mean the re-entrance of the United States into European political affairs. This ardent advocate of the league of nations should not deceive himself. Participation in a study of Armenian condition does not indicate a re-entrance, or any change whatever from the tra- ditional American policy. The United States has never been an isolated nation. It has never hesi- tated to participate in affairs in either Europe or Asia or “Africa where the United States has any interest w!

Perdi- cardis was delivered over to the United States un- harmed and without ransom. Without any hesitation whatever the United States sent its troops into China, along with other civilized nations, in restoring order and protecting American rights. We engaged in the war in Eu- rope, not as an interference in European affairs but as a protection of our own interests. | In Asia Minor today American citizens are heing subjected to the violence and indignities perpe- ted by the unspeakable Turk, and it is for that reason that the United States joins Great Britain in conducting an investigation in order to learn the exact facts and decide upon the steps that should be taken to protect American along with other national interests. EZ The United States does not bind itself to act in any matter in which the United States has no di- rect interest. The trouble with the international- ists is that they are unable to discern the differ- ence between a proper enforcement of American rights and a meddlesome iniereference with af- fairs that are no concern of ours. ships and their transfer from the American flag) Importance of Internal Trade bune.—That Editor 3 a timely and informative editorial in your issue Of the 13th, with extracts from the Review of Reviews advising pro ‘don of American industries from the threatened flood of imports from coun- tries with plenty of cheap money and consequent low production costs.

Comparing Grandmother “Those who have a taste for com- ‘parisons are particularly happy when fcomparing the modern athletic girl with her non-athletic grandmother, usually to grandmother's utter disad- vantage.” notes the London Mafi. “Grandmother, we are told, was a ‘poor creature, who shrieked at sight of a mouse or a cow. “She scarcely knew what lay beyond her garden gate, she blushed at the mere mention of men’s trousers; a mild rubber of whist was the only game she ever played. “She knew how to keep house, it is true, bue she had never heard of the higher mathematics. “Yet, after all, when we come to janalyze the two women impartially, joes grandmother compare so unfavor- ably with her statuesque descendant |as sho is supposed to? “She was not an athlete, but @o far as endurance goes her granddaughter cuts a poor figure beside her.

For men loved grandmother and laid down thetr lives for her as often as they do now for the wornen who prefer to be their companions rather than their en- shrined saints.”” Yellow Journalism Yellow journalism defies the cult of the mendacious, the sensational and jthe inane, and throughout its wide but vapid field, does as much to vul- garize and degrade the popular taste, to weaken the popular character and to dull the edge of the popular con- science as any influence under which the country can suffer. These men sneer at the very idea of paying heed to a sound morality, as one of their number has cynically put it, they are concerned merely with welling the pub- lic whatever the public will buy— theory of conduct which would justify the existence of every keeper of an opium fen, of every foul creature who ministers to the vices of mankind. ‘Theodore Roosevelt. wee Cast iron of excellent quality is now being made from the iron sands that abound on the shores of New Zealand On over a hundred miles of coast thera but is only during the last few ycars that it has been utilized. are millions of tons of this iron sand,| at | Song This, pretends !her descendant and was less magnifi-/ As down the world wo hasten, cently developed altogether, she had,| As hasten, love, we must, The days that mar and chasten— | They also star the dust; | With joys they wing the spirit, And if they flit and fade, Their fragrance tnheri* | The castles wo have made.

Which way? demanded Ned, looking all while Ted laughed merrily. “A catamaran is a sort of double boat—" What is it?” around haven't got two boats. And besides, we promised not to put sails on any boats.” | “Two big logs would do it," insisted Ted. “And they wouldn't be a boat! ex- claimed Ned. “And they would never tip over with a sail on them,” finished Ted. That's wheré the cousins got their idea of making a sailing catamaran. Tho next day they selected two large |logs and with the axe pointed each lend like the prow ‘of a boat and built |a platform on it as shown in Figure |1. To do this they made notches in it as at C and D in Figure 2, and A and B shows how the ends were point- ed. They spiked stout poles in these jnotehes and fastened the two logs together before putting the boards lacross the top, Then they used an sh sapling for a mast, flattening the lower end and spiking {t to the front cross beam as shown at A in Figure 3. | To hold this mast in place still more |tirmly, they natled braces as at B and |c in Figure 4, A being where the |mast went through the floor board. (In Figure 1, A also shows where the mast went through.) A rudder was very easy as in Figure 5.

And so they launched their cata- maran by means of round limbs which served as rollers. They set up theis sail and tried it. Both boys could stand on one edge of thelr catamaran and not tip that side down enough to get it under water and they never found a wind strong enough to tip it over—the sail would blow away some- times in a strong wind, bu* the cata- maran was safe.
