The mother, Mrs. Clementine Cox, was anxious té place « wreath upon her boy John’s grave on memorial day. She was in Sheridan, Wyoming, ond could not make the long journey. She wanted to be sure her son’s grave was not neglected. To her, her boy is and always will be the mother’s sacred sacrifice to the land she loves, and the land he served and for which he died. A few days previous to Memorial day Mrs. Cox wrote Frank Mondell requesting that he order a suitable floral tribute from a florist and have it placed upon the grave. Mr. Mondell’s reply was and prompt. It was by telegraph. It sten to assure you that you are not ‘troubling’ me in asking me to place a wreath upon your boy's grave here in Arlington. I esteem it an honor to perform such a setvice and I thank you for the opportunity to act in your stead in this mat ter. I can realize how you must feel in being so far away, from what my own feelings would be were one of my sons buried in some distant place where neither his mother nor myself could place a flower on his grave tomorrow.” And so, at the great gathering the next day when the president of the United States, his cabinet, the two branches of the congress, the supreme court, the diplomatic representatives of the nations of the earth, the high officers of the army and the navy, the comrades of three great wars and the people of the nation had assembled to pay tribute to the hon- ored dead of the republic, Frank Mondell person- ally located the grave of John Cox and la the last resting place of this Sheridan bo) beau tiful wreath of fragrant flowers “from mother.” o— In His Home Town I OCK SPRIN people are greatly pleased af. the reports coming from every section of the state, regarding John W. Hay’s campaign for the nomination for governor. Here at home we know just how well qualified Mr. Hay is to occupy this office and we are glad the people in other parts of the state are finding it out, too. There never was a time when there was a greater demand for men of strong personality and marked executive ability in office. This demand has reached Wyoming as the primary vote will show.—Rock Springs Miner. PS The Approaching Festivities HE HONORABLE John W. Cook, who presides over the destin of the Lander Journal issues sage observation » far the Christmas spirit seems to prevail among the candidates to a very commendable de- “ree, but it should not be at all surprising if some of them caught hitting below the belt before the campaign is entirely over. The best of inten tions are often forgotten in the rough and tumble serap of a lively political campaign.” 5 It is easy to resolve at the outset of a campaign to conduct it in perfectly “clubby” fashion, but men are in rivalry for something very much de sired. All too frequently the spirit of friendly com- petition is forgotten in the ambition to succeed and actions and words assume a very vital mean- ing. In looking for advantage in a political con- test, mere human man siezes the advantage and afterward. It is does the looking and thinking the goal he has his eyes fixed upon and seldom upon the ethics, once the race is under way. great game, if all who engaged were sportsmen. It would be a much finer game if those who entered were angels, but since there are but few sportsmen and no angels at all ever concerned, itis what we find it toda) tumble performance. Politics is a For the sake of ordinary decency it is to be hoped] op in the preliminary state} that nothing will deve and congressional campaigns to mar the orderly se-/ lection of candidates on the Republican ticket. It} is a pious hope to have. But now and again signs appear that foreshadow a shattering of such hopes. If we escape the “earnestness” that usually attends these festivities we may thank our lucky stars and set it down to accident. Our Life Preserver JN RECENT YEA twenty-five per cent of the sugar consumed in the United States has been| obtained from domestic beet production. It has aptly been termed our “war ration of} sugar” so that if our importations were cut off, a| limited supply would still be available. T proinction of beet sugar has been encour- ged and brought about by a tariff varying from 4 and 1.60 cents per pound.

Yet, if Senate Bill 3509 is passed you will be sub- jected to a federal law applying the eight-hour day to your business, if your product enters into inter- state traffic. Under the guise of establishing a national eight- hour day, which is in effect in basic industries to day unless some particular circumstance already requiries « slight variation from the eight-hour rule, this bill would subject virtually every indus- try in the country to federal regulation. It wouid be the entering wedge for the six ani the seven-hour day agitator and it would be the fore runner of federal dictation on wage questions in American factories and work shops. If we have become a nation of imbeciles no long- er able to manage our own affairs we may be willing to have the politicians take over the man- agement and direction of our industrial structure. | If, however, there are a few of us left who believe |in the freedom of the individual, and American ideas of initiative enterprise we will object most strenuously at this first step to nationalize and | hogtie with red tape the American industrial sys tem. } Sr at Quite a Convention HE GUERNSEY Gazette is of the opinion thar whtn it comes to making a collection of sore ard disappointed people the whole kit and bilin’ of us may well be included. Everybody has a kich coming, says the Gazette. “A meeting is called by Homer Harry for all dis- gruntled Republicans and Democrats to ‘meet in Wheatland on July 8, to discuss matters pertain- ing to the coming campaign. We are all elegible— we are disgruntled from having to pay off the debts created by the Democratic war administration, but don’t ‘kid’ yourself—we have them to pay and we'll have to pay them regardless, all Bolshevik propa- ganda w the contrary. The Gazqtte doesn’t antici pate that with the election of Republicans this fall that you Il have clear sailing and that the gov ernment will provide for all your wants, nor will it be possible for the radicals to provide these feaures condition under their regime would be ten-fold worse. It might be well to put your ear to the ground, but don’t take on an excess of this ‘bull’ the radicals are putting out.” we See The Constant Pounding VERY WESTERN state is facing a road prob- lem. This problem has two angles; first the building of hard surfaced highways and second their maintenance. | In the past, too much road building has been done jalong political lines, that is’ on the theory that | most any good “party” man could build a road. ‘The {materials that went into road construction also | seemed to matter little. A hard surface road was a | hard surface road and that was all there was to it. As the maintenance cost on hundreds of miles of “hard surfaced” highways in individval states has | begun to mount up to several hundred dollars per | mile annually, our road “problem” is seen from a new angle. | Owing to the enormous sums now being spent by |federal and state governments for road construc- tion and ‘anaintenance,” the subject of scientific road construction affects most directly every tax- payer in the country. The hard surfaced road that has no shock ab- |sorbing base or wearing surface, disintegrates | sears before its time under modern traffic condi tions Experience has now demonstrated this fact and | future road construction should be of a character | that will not subject the taxpayer to the heavy losses of the past. | How- long would a stone golf ball last under | constant pounding? In order to stand the impact of golf clubs the golf ball must be made of a shock absorbing substance. The same principle applies to roads under the pound of modern traffic. atin ean Te y8t Nn) An Effective Law URING the I first nine months of the present fiscal year the net increase of our population through immigration was only 80,000. That is less than 10,000 per month, and is proof of thé effectiy ness of the Republican immigration law in keeping down the tide from Europe. Cases of injustice arise under the law, and probably no statute could ssed that would apply with egual fairness to ry immigraht, but the act now in force is an effective check against the un- desirable from abroad. et ee Defending the Senator HE SMALL BILLS tell us that on next Wed- nesday eveping at 8 o'clock at the court house, Mr. Joseph H. Camp, Democratic candidate for con- gress will address the people. Apparently, Joseph is not appealing in his own behalf for the suffrage of the qualified electors in order that he may go down to Washington and set the troubled old world afire, but his main object on the occasion mentioned | is “to defend the record of Senator John B. Ken- drick, the Democracy.” It has never been known hereabouts that the senator’s record had been assailed, or that there was any particular record to assail. There must be something to hop onto before you can hop. And then again, if the senator is the “unchal- lenged champion,” where is the demand for de- fense?” It is safe to say that in ninety-nine out of the hundred chances, the senator did not appoint Joseph to do his defending against imaginary as- saults. Whoever it that about to devour senator Kendrick blaod raw will of course change his mind after Wednesday evening at § o'clock. unchallenged champion of Wyoming is is | TF ASKED in plain English how you would like} of | | fhe Casper Daily Cribune HE USES THE RIGHT KIND OF BAIT Se Studying English Procedure ““Chief Justice Taft's pyncipal busi- ness in England, besides l{oking pleas- ant, is to study the Engfish judicia procedure with a view to recommend- ing to the American Bar association methods by which the American pro- cedure may be reformed in the inter- est of speedier justice,” notes the Kansas City Star. ‘We all Know that it {s a frequent reproach to American courts, éspecial- ly the state courts, that they are slow in ope: tion, hopelessly behind with their deckéts and that their desisions when rendered are seldom final. It is fair to say that both couvis and bar admit this, and that the movement to ghange these conditions has had its beginning and best support in the ju- dictary itself. “How the English have managed to simplify their legal procedure so as to minimize the number of appeals and make justice prompt and certain, ts at least worth knowing, whether a remedy that can be applied to our own system or not; for it seems certain that the English themselves have been confronted in the past with the same conditions that now embar- rass American justice. If the Eng- lish chancery practice was once a na- tional reproach, what was the remedy that removed it? ‘It is said that the words ‘I’ object’ are seléom heard from an English at- torney. If this is so there must be @ reason for it. Either the rules of evidence must be so plain that there is no necessity for questioning the right of counsel to proceed by the methods laid down or English attor- veys address themselves more to the court and less to the record than American attorneys do. It comes pretty near to being a maxim of our procedure that the record is the im- port thing, for the record is being made not for the trial court but for the appellate tribunal. That this theory makes for delays, the multiply- ing of errors and the consequent re- trial ef eases, cannot be denied. If simplicity and plainness of rules of evidence is one of the English secrets, it is worth finding out. If a reduc- tion of errors follows these simplier rules, it means fewer appeals on tech- 1 calities. “If the English have succeeded in freeing theig courts of a state of con- gestion that in the last century was as bad as our own, their methods are worthy of study.” Escaped the Noose A resident of New York who lived in Cheyenne in 1867-8 has written one of the New York papers respecting the amenities of that period, in which he relates the following anecdote: “Going to bed with one's boots on was less frequent in Wyoming 55 years ago than readers of the usual western fiction may suppose; but it was quite the usual thing for those having money or valuables in their possession to sleep with firearms with- in easy reach. Locks were not com- mon and often insecure at that; and there are occasional danger of robbery at the mining camps or prairie towns by hangers-on who were not danger- ous in daylight. “I well remember a St. Louis man— call him Banks for short—who won at faro and went home with a ,wad. Though late. he did not go to sleep for! some time, thinking over how well the cards had run for him. By and by he heard the sound of the key in the door being turned with nippers, but kept quiet, waiting to see who it could be and at the same time intending to get & Rood oh the intruder before shooting. Banks immediately recog- nized the intruder as Slipper Flinn, not a dangerous character, but simply crooked from his youth up, and at that time known to be short of funds, as he had been “staked" to supper money the evening before. Banks watched Flinn frisking his breeches, which were hanging on a chair, but the roll was closer to the owner. When Flinn had finished the clothes he sneaked over toward the bed, whereupon ‘the man from 8t Louis raised up and asked “What are you looking for, Flinn, tmoney or clothes?” The intruder started to run out, but on threats to shoot went back to make the best of it. him to go out and maxe sure that the key was turned as he had found it This was done, Banks went to sleep, and his roll was intact the next morn- ang. ertheless Flinn received the at- tention of the Vigilantes later on, and but for his cleverness or good luck might have had his checkered career cut shorter than it was. After they, had taken him-into a convenient car- Ppenter shop and stood him on a barrst and while the man above was trying the repe to a cross beam, Flinn man- age¢ in ine dark fo work a larger loop under his chin. He slippe® through, ran out the door and into the sagebrush so quickly that the men in charge of the affair were dumb- founded. As soon as they got second wind they fired buckshot into the sage. but Flinn ducked sidewise or in some other way escaped.’ Soon aft- erward he showed up in Omaha, but was never again west of Fremont on the Union Pacific, so far as I ever learned.” Passing of Hotel Landlord ‘The New York hotel proprietor these days has completely effaced him- self, writes O. O. McIntyre. He does not even have his offices in his hotel, but in some faraway skyscraper. It you want him, you will find him in a “conference.”’ Perhaps when he comes out of the “conference” you can wing him in the hall, but otherwise his seclusion is perfect. Simeon Ford is the last of the old- time friendly hosts. He was for a quartet of a century proprietor of the Grand Union hotel, and dates back to the time when hotel men got rich sell- ing roast beef and boiled potatoes for 30 cents and drinks two for a quarter. In those halcyon days the hotel man was a landlord and had a diamond cluster, a pair of spanking bays, and moved about the lobby shaking hands and slapping backs. He was a figure —a personality. There was Fred Reed, who, in the bloom of his handsome youth, ran the old Park Avenue. He was an Apollo— the handsomest hotel keeper in town. His guests were mature women who wore gray side curls, lace caps and an- cient cameo breastpins. One of his friends saw him one day, so handsome and debonair, among the lavender and old lace, and said to himself: “Thank heaven, Fred Reed is perfectly safe.” ‘Today Reed, in the autumn of life, his thinning hair thatched with gray, conducts a Broadway -hotel in the midst of Broadway's gay swirl. About him are the Frolics, the Follies and Winter Garden, and the éther day the same old friend dropped in, looked at Reed, saw the gay young girls and remarked: ‘Thank Heaven, the girls are perfectly safe.” ‘The older generation of hotel keep- ers is no more. The guest of today is ticketed and numbered as so much baggage. He may get more little physical comforts, but if he looks for a cheery welcome he is scheduled for bitter disappointment. The New York hotel clerks have not time for wel- comes, with so many nuils to be pol- ished and neckties adjusted. Se Ss Selecting Your |Hero When he is 7 years old, or about then, a fellow begins to speculate quite @ lot on what he will be when he is a man. He does not think of the man he will be as exactly the same person as himself. He is only a boy, but this ther fellow is going to be a man. He begins to look around among the gods and heroes to pick out the sort of man he hopes to be. He takes a look at father and do- gides that father is a fine man, far and away the finest man he knows—you can’t beat the loyalty of a 7-year-old boy—but he has to admit that father is not absolutely perfect.. He has to admit that in one or two little matters George Washington probabiy did sur- pass father a wee mite. Father is father of course; but it cannot be de- nied that John L. Sullivan had a won- erful right arm. There is usually, it is true, a spare half-dollar in fath er’s pocket when the circus comes, to town, but—with the utmost loyalty | to father—one has to admit that in finance Rothschild and Croesus and Banks made|the Count of Monte Cristo certainly him promise a lot of things, then told| had the goods. Father is father, but when a young fellow is day-dreaming of his future he is compelled to remember that there were such men as Christopher Colum- bus, Buffalo Bill, Abraham Lincoln, her Wanter.

The boy I used to be, after questioning whether he would prefer to have the man be a second Gecrge Washington or the world’s unrivaled premier bareback rider, de- cided that properly to fulfill his des- tiny and moet the approval of his soul he must be a blacksmith. I am ashamed to say it, but I con- fess I have failed the young man there. I am not a blacksmith. The sort of blacksmith the young man had in mind was one with a large quan- tity of biack hair on his arms and a complete jungle of it on his exposed chest. His main occupation would be whanging a piece of white hot iron with a heavy hammer while he let the sparks fall on him with no more ccn- cern than if they were snowflakes. Now and then he would spit into the water tub and shift his quid to the other cheek. At times the blacksmith would lean indolently against his forge and slowly pull the knotted rope of the huge bel- lows, turning, now and then to pat the }coals with his pincers and then ad- dressing some witty words to the small boy looking in at the door, such as “Well, bub, what do you think your folks call your name by when you're at home?” or “Weil, sonny, how's your coppery-optics today?” or even ‘hat more amazingly brilliant query, ‘Well, Johnny how does your ¢orpor- osity seem to sagasitate this morn- ing?” qualities, s' men in frock coats and the blacksmith President of tho United States, commander-in-chief of ‘the army and superintendent of the Episcopal Sunday school. The bdiack- ‘smith would then put a for rent sign fon his shop, buckle a sword around his don a Knights of Pythias hat with a long white ostrich plume, and go down to Washington, D. C., to veto the bill prohibiting boys frora playing marbles for keeps, When he died his funeral procession would be three emiles long and have four brass bands and a grateful nation would erect a statue of him, showing a kind, but stern, countenance and a pair of trousers that were too long and too loose. If I had to go back to 1876 today and face the boy I was I know he would look at me with a stare of utter unrecognition. First he would stare; but when he realized I was he, he ‘would burst right out crying. Then, probably, he would give me one final look of reproach and go out behind the wood shed and eat a green apple and dle.—Ellis Parker Butler. aS SEE, Queer Questions With Hidden Answers If You Can’t Answer Them, Look Among the Want Ads.
