This situation means more than the simple fact that the people lack the ready| money to pay their taxes when due. that the; 1 1 their pride in keeping their bills paid. and distressed at the expense of government. ‘They see no effort to cut the public costs by prac tices of economy; but they witness denial of nothing that contributes to the ease and comfort of trans- aeting public business with the least possible ef- fort. The times are such, and the. financial condition of} the people is such, that the demand is upen the state and every county and municipality in it, to retrench. To reduce costs, to engage in no outlay of mney beyond the strict needs of upkeep and give the taxpayer a chance to recuperate. He is entitled to it. He has been a patient and willing producer, but he has been driven to the limit. ‘The next order of business in Wyoming, and in her counties and cities is a real reduction in taxes upon the people, the securing of a dollar's worth of value for every public dollar expended,! and a drastic cut in the general outgo. In otter words there is a present use for a large kennel of bulldogs in the treasury. ae ch ere Exemplifuing Ingnatitude QoMnEQDe. remarked a long while ago, “How \O sharper than the serpent’s tooth to have a thankless-child. The soundness of the doctrine has mever been disproved and seldom disputed. There is a case in point. The Singer Sewing Machine company was built up in this country under the policy of protection. It became so large and so prosperous that it began ,te branch out into other countries, and today its chief plants are in the United Kingdom, Russia and Germany. there are smaller concerns in this country which have not advantages, and which would prefer to operate in the home of their birth, and they need protection. “Because of our position in the indus- try,” say the Singer officials, “we have not followed our inclinations and fought the companies who de- sire protection, but, it is the feeling of this com- pany that the whole business is unwise and par- ticularly that sewing machines are in no need of protection.” As pointed out to the ways and means commit- tee of the house by the secretary of the Sewing Ma- chine Manufacturers’ association: “The Singer Sewing Machine company is recog- nized as an American concern, but it should be|Same respect as any other decision by any other borne in mind that they have factories in Great| sovernment tribunal.

There are certain types of power machines which, per- haps, they can manufacture as cheaply in the Unit- ed States as in their foreign factories, the same being well covered by patents, but in the case of family sewing machines they are well equipped to manufacture abroad machines suitable for the United States at a lower price than the same can be made in this country, and it has been reported that they do actually ship family sewing machines into the United States from abroad.” The attitude of the Singer people is like that of certain international bankers who have waxed so strong and prosperous in the United States that they have at length come to look upon this country as one of their chattels to be pawned with the league of nations, or some other similar organiza- tion, as security for anything they may do. Such are examples of greed over-reaching itself. ‘The Singer company cannot deny to others that which has done so much toward its own huge develop. ment. wpe Pure T7emogogy | ‘ALMOST Every time Samuel Gompers opens his ~< mouth he has something to about “the enemies of labor.” TEyvery official or other individ- ual whose views on labor do not coincide with those of the federation chief are immediag:ly classed as} “Jabor’s enemi The most recent addition to the proscribed list is the United States supreme court, | wliose decisions to the effect that labor unions are| suable, and that the child labor law was uncon- stitutional are characterized by Mr. Gorpers as! part of a “boisterous and brazen movement to de-| stroy every progressive institution and to sub merge human rights industrial autocrat Far from being an “enemy of labor,” the supreme court. is really the bulwark that safeguards the rights of labor.

Frontiers pee TWO great undeveloped sections of the world are Africa and South America. In those continents will be found the next frontier. The vast areas of untrod widerness, the unmeasured resources of water power, the uncounted millions tof feet of merchantable timber, the untouched. de | posits of mineral wealth constitute latent resources | | the development of which offers unexcelled oppor-| tunities for men of vision and enterprise.

These| two continents are inviting American enterprise, and whatever trade may be developed with those continents will most easily an@ naturally flow | through the ports of the southern states. The center of production in the United States is a short distance southwest of Indianapolis, In center, it will be immediately ascertained that southern ports, on an average are nearer the center of production than ports in the northern states. by ecean route to Africa and South America. This being true and the future development of for- eign trade depending so lergely upon the control of ocean transportation, it seems incredible that sonttiern statesmen wonll oppese ant plan that promises to place onr carrying trade under the Ame ries flag. So far as possible, Great Britain with the ad- vantage of her mandates and Germany with the advantage of cheap production, will endeavor to secure for themselves the trade of Africa and South America. Only by going after business aggres- sively and bending every effort and resource t» the attainmént of the desired end, can the United States hope to gain and keep her share of an in- ternational and mutnally enriching commerce, probably unsurpassed in the history of the world.

Weather Theory folly thereof. course, necessary. ciple of American institutions, that this is a goverm- ment by, Jaw and not by men and that liberty de- pends absolutely upon the maintenance and en- forcement of law. This bebiz true there can be no hope for ultimate success of railroad strike in defiance of the decision of the Railroad Labor Board in the matter of railroad wages. It may be readily admitted that perhaps the railroad labor board in its decision did not reach exact justice, for exact justice is impossible so long as human infirmities continue. But it may be safely asserted that the decision of that board, after due consideration of all the facts and cireum- stances, is a far nearer approach to justice than can be attained by any other means or through any other agency, In the reductions of wages, which have been ordered, there is just as much probability that the cuts were too small as that they were too great. Undoubtedly members of the board did what they thought was right in an effort to award the railroad workers just compensation, with due re- gard to the cost of living, compensation paid in other lines of industry, the character of the work, and the ability of the industry to pay. However that may be, the fact remains that the Railroad Labor board is a lawfully established tribunal of adjudication; it proceeds with its work in a lawful manner; it reached its decision which stands as the expression of the will of the Amer- ican people and that decision is entitled to the the force and violence of a strike or a lockout, and in an endeavor to protect the interests of all the people from the conflicting interests of employers and employ®s, congress passed the law which pro- vided for the adjudication of railroad disputes. That the law is not perfect or its administration perfect is quite likely, but it is the best that has ever been accomplished for the general welfare. It substitutes legal decisions based upon eyidence in place of agreements forced by arbitrary power on the one hand or exacted under the threat of dis- tress and devastation on the other. The country is presented, therefore, with the question whether it will be governed by lawful procedure or by mob rule. There can be no question whatever as to the position the great body of American people will tak railroad’ strike may be called, but, if called it will mark the beginning of the end of the organ- izations responsible for defiance of law and dis- regard of the public welfare. bn as Bh A Splendid Example CONOMIC history in Great Britain ought to serve as an example to other European nations in financial straits. Everybody is optimistic. Brit- ish manufacturers are busily extending their activ- ities, provision is being made for payment of the British foreign debt, and the exchange value of the British pound has been steadily mounting for months. There is apparently no reason why every country in Europe cannot adopt the same sound policies that are rapidly restoring economic nor- malcy in Great Britain. iE a SR Es DEMOCRATS refuse to support a subsidy of thirty millions & year for a merchant marine but if it were proposed to put up another four billions as was done when they were in power, per- haps they would be for its unanimously. ip SLE SERIO CARVING SET imported at $1.86 was sold over the counters in this country for $15 by the im- It has been said that the general grand currents of the atmosphere and the thunder showers they carry are unaffected by the minor elevations of the earth's surface. While some claim that showers run in valleys, it is prob- able that the vast heights of ‘‘thunder- heads” render them independent of verything but the highest mountain ranges, except that their weight gives them a tendency to “run” in valleys within 45 degrees of their course. But while neither the main currents nor their storms are seriously affected by contour, it is equally evident that the temperature of these currents may be considerably altered, the change prog- reusing over a spell of days, by a cer- tain temperature of the ground over a comparatively great area. ‘This change in temperature may al- so have an effect in changing humid- ity. If the southwestern deserts of the United States were large enaugh they would probably cause consider- able difference in the rain bearing strata. North of the equator these rain bearing currents have an average direction of northeast by east. The rain maps of the world show that the rainfall increases in that direction less than in others. The once “great Amer- ican desert, now largely cultivated, stretched over Kansas; the great Sa- hara itself reappears far to the north- east as the desert of Gobi, in Asia. South of the equator the correspond- ing winds are northwesterly. The Chilean deserts appear to shade to the southeast the other side of the Andes. ‘Similarly the dry interior of Australia seems to continue southeastward. If the general rain maps of the world show such evidence it is not unreasonable to assume that the com- ponent parta that make up the annual rain records present similar aspects.

By the regular cycle of the middle period the relatively warm half of the period ‘was due to end after the first few days of June, its culmmation succeeded by the relatively cool half, to continue to the middle of the month.
