Mr. Gibson life long Democrat and this is what he has to say in the present sit-| uation: L I have been a Democrat all my lifs. That is a/ avell-known and established fact. And I will con- tinue to remain a Democrat. But when such a .Zood citizen as John Hay has been appealed to by his many trusted friends to make the race for governor; of Wyoming | as one Democrat, will endeavor to} ssist him in being elected in that exalted position, because of the fact that he is a practical business man and fully qualified. He is honest and the citi- Springs love him. He has always been friendly toward organized labor, stands high among the miners in the southern field, and his own em- ployes speak of him in the highest terms. He+is always ready to do for the community welfare. I hope Mr. Hay ‘sweeps the state in the primaries and is successfully elected governor.” This expression is mighty fine in Mr. Gibson. It is really big. But it is characteristic. Thomas Gibson has always stood for the best things and the best men ard when he headed the United Mine Workers’ organization he enjoyed the confidence of both the union.members and the operators as well. And when he fays aside his politics to support a man of opposite political convictions the reason is a wetghty one and it is at the same time the highest compliment he could pay John Hay. ee Privilege of Floors f HE PROPOSAL to give cabinet members the ght to a seat in the senate and house and to articipate in debate is again being considered at the capitol. President Harding and his department- al chiefs have also given the matter attention and it is their unanimous belief that the privilege should be granted. It is not intended to make the presence of cabinet members on the floor of either house mandatory, but to give them the privilege of explaining measures in which their departments are interested, and of answering attacks that may be made upon them by senators or representatives. For many congresses bills have been introduced making the necessary changes in existing law, and in the present congress such measures are pend- ing. Friends of the legislation believe it would make for greater harmony between the executive and leg- islative branches of the government, and contribute to greater speed in the enactment of legislation. With the large number of important bills awaiting the attention of congress, it is doubtful if the meas- ures granting the privileges of the floor to cabinet members will be taken up at the present session, but discussion of the subject now may pave*the way for the passage of such a bill in the near future. [f) ated to re The Foreign Inoation IOREIGN propagandists inyaded this country to drag us into the league of nations. Foreign propagandists are still active in their efforts to effect cancellation of the foreign debts to the Unit- ed States. The country is swarming with foreign commissions besieging jhe state department and yirculating publicity material designed to sway ‘American foreign poli Foreign emissaries haye not ceased to importune the American government for loans. Foreign agents, even foreign ambassa. dors, have been working to prevent the passage of the protective tariff bill which would carry out a distinctively American and domestic policy. For- eign influences are at work to defeat the ship sub- sidy measure. And, finally, mischief-makers of for- | eign birth have united in an attack on the federal constitution and have pledged themselves to work for the emasculation of the United States supreme court Is it not high time the American people got to. gether and told these foreign meddlers where they belong? ne se {ERICANISM, in the past two years has shown remarkable revival and those who write the history of our time in the years to come cannot help but note the fact.

A country-wide reaction is now in evidence against that mistaken po authorities in various cities are resulting in the | rejection of un-American histories and a return to those .which tell the truth. The Declaration of Independence should be brought to the fare. The young should become fa- miliar with its teachings-and it should be held up| | as declaring our sentiments today as it did in 1776. Washington’s farewell is a noble document, so is the constitution, so also are the declarations of numerous of our patriots and statesmen all along the line held immortal; but there is nothing written or spoken in our history that compares in spirit | and is so truly representative of American feel- ing as the pious, sincere and unafraid utterances of the fathers contained in the great declaration of human rights. Familiarity with the Declaration of Independ- ence will do more to hold Americans level than any other instrument we have at command. ae LS sas Benefits of Conference ECOGNIZING the value of frequent conferences améng the 320700 employes of the postal service {Postmaster General Work will arrange more of \them. They tend to bring about a common under. standing of business methods, sympathetic co-op- {eration anl loyal service. There are at present eleven national associations of postal -employes. Each represents a different class of workers, and their annual conventions are held at various times and places. Those conventions result in great bene- fit to the postal service, but the Postmaster Gen- ‘eral believes that there should be some official gathering of «ll employes thut the head of the de- partment or his assistants may attend and make such recommendations as they way deem for the good of the service. To that end Mr. Work is planning to hold an an- nual conference—convention in every state of the Union; to which every postal employe in the state who can be spared from his regular duty may go. The department plans to have pfesent at those meetings its high officials and experts on postal savjects, who will acquaint the employes with the policies of the government and the approved meth- ‘ods for maintaining efficient service. \ Attendance of delegates to the official conven- tions will be considered service in line of duty, and there will be no deduction from annual leave. It is hoped that the first of the meetings may be ar- ranged for the coming autumn. The postoffice de- partment is inviting suggestions as to its plan from all people who may be interested both within and withoat the pos: service. “It is earnestly hoped,” Says Postmaster General Work, “that some such plan of co-operation may be eventnated which will reduce the convention—holding to a system, and give to each group the benefit and enthusiasm ya a Emma, the Tourist yen GOLDMAN has been deported from the United States, from Russia and from Sweden. She has found the combination that permits her to see the world without paying her own traveling ex- penses. It is fortunate for Emma that she has roll envelopes to fill on Saturday afternoons. She can advise workingmen how to overthrow apitalism” and how to rais hell generally, but with all her assumed wisdom she never yet has been able to tell a workingman how to earn a dollar or support a family. She had a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate her ability to help the workmen of Russia where . has put “capitalism” completely out B business and left leaders like Goldman in con- rol. But she failed utterly and miserably and fled Russia as soon as she could. She did not remain in a country to enjoy the blessing of starvation, brought about by the enforcement of the doctrines} she preached. . no pay Force Methods Passing HE COAL STRIKE and the railroad strike are the last efforts to revive physical force meth- ods. “The strikes and walkouts and lockouts of the past year or two gained nothing from public sym- pathy and support. They died a natural death. Intelligence is usurping the place of force and strikes are fcllowing militarism mto the discard. The year 1922 should see the final end of strikes as a means of settlement of matters in disagree- ment.

To espouse the doctrine promulgated by former President Wilson that it was the para- mount duty of the United States to make any sacri- fice necessary to bring Europe back from the devas- tation of war and establish a guard over her, through the leagne of nations, for a brief period seemed the work in hand. The magnificent altruism of the scheme found a ready appeal among a large proportion of our people, and had it been possible to take a popular vote in the winter of 191819 on the question of our entrance into the league it probably would have red a Substantial endorsement. But the fol. ng spring marked the high water mark of the propagandism. ~o E Bearded by the Lion | ILLIAM Randolph Hearst, who for several ty years has been lambasting Englind and twist- {ing the lion’s tail, has just discovered the Tight | Little Iste, and having been dined by Lloyd George, |is now praising the British.

Some per- sons and publications have expressed the opinion that we are unduly alarmed. ‘Let us consider the situ- ation in the light of the latest avail- ale facts. In the year 1920 the rail- ways handled the largest traffic in their history. Excepting coal, uscy recently have becn handling more traffic than they did in the corres- ponding part*of the year 1920. “Traffic always increases during the late summer and early fall months. This is especially true of veal traffic. The average number of carloads of coal handled by the rail- ways in the weeks from September 25 to December 18, 1920, was 217,200. This was 112,191 more than the num- ber of cars of coal shipped in the week ended June 10, 1922. If the rail- ways in the week ended June 10, 1922, ‘had handled as much coal as the av- fall and winter months of 1920, their total car loadings would have been 968,193. The largest traffic they ever Ing October 15, 1920, and was 1,018,539 carloads. Of this, 226,671 carloads were coal leaving 79}868 carloads of other traffic. If this figure be com- pared with that for the amount of traffic other than coal handled in the week ended June 10, 1922, it will be found that in this latter week the amount of traffic other than coal han- dled was only 5 per cent less than the amount other than coal handled in the week ended October 15, 1920, the larg- est in history. “Does anybody doubt that traffic other than coal is going to increase between June and October was not between the week ended June 11 and the week ended October 15, traffic other than coal increased 52,396 car. loads or over 7 per cent. At that time the country was entering a period of violent business readjustment and de pression, and the increase in traffic between June and October was ot normally large. This year the coun- try apparently is in a period of in- creasing business activity. This in. other than coal between now and fall will be more than normal. Hl “The amount of coal produced and| transported during the first half of! }1921 was about 60,000,000 tons less| than the ayerage amount produced and transported in the first half of the last five years. Z “One of the most ominous features jof the situftion is that up to the date of the latest available report the amount of coal which had been car- ried by the railways to the Lake Erie ports and thence by water to the head/| pf the lakes to supply the needs of} kthe northwest was only about 3,000,. 000 tons. At this time last year tho} amount exceeded 2,000,000 tons. If the ‘northwest is to have sufficient fuel to carry it through the winter there \must be dumped at the head of the lakes during the season of navigation| ‘from 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 tons of chal; and already the dumpings at the head of the lakes are 5,000,000 tons ‘below normal. “The situation developing demands speedy and constructive action. The production of coal must soon be in-| creased. The shipments of all. other (freight which can be accelerated must ‘be accelerated. The railways must get ready as rapidly as practicable to deal with a record-breaking business, ‘The shipping public must prepare to co-operate with the railways by load- ing cars heavier and loading and un- loading them as rapidly as practic- able.

Under this contract the ship- ping board pays the interior depart- ment the local market price, The board 1s anxious to continue the con- tract because by reason of its control of the royulty oils it has been able to make a large contract for fuel oils which has been very advantageous to it. Referring to this situation Con- gressman Mondell in his letter to the secretary says: “It has occurred to me that if the shipping board is able to utilize its control of thes royalty oils in a way that Js profitable to/it, it ought to be possible for you to make such use of these oils as will retain all pessible profits, benefits and advantages to the national treasury, the state of Wyo- ming and the reclamation fund, and at the same timo incidentally benefit individual producers in Wyoming fields by stimulating the market price. It hag long been the opinion of Wyo- ming producers that Wyoming prices for crude oils were unreasonably low compared with the prices in other fields, and as the contract recently made by you with the Mammoth Oiil company for the development ‘of naval oll reserve No. 3, known as the Tea- ot dome, specifies either the Mid- Continent or the Sal Creek price, which ever may be higher, as the price for royalty oil from: that development, it seems to me that an effort-should be made to get as good a price for these government royalty oils from Salt Creek and other fields as are to be secured from the Teapot dome, and to so handle these oi!s as to tend to stimulate rather than depress the lo- cal market price.”” Mr. Mondell further calls Secretary Fall's attention to the fact that under the law, unless he disposes of the oil to another branch of the government it must be disposed of under competi- tive bidding, he suggests the propriety of the secretary's immediately taking: steps with a view of inviting bids on these, royalty oils in the hope of se- curing a better price, not only for the state and reclamation fund, but tor private producers as well, by stim- ulating the market price. “An Unusual Snapshot What is said to be one of the most remarkable photographs ever taken of a bucking broncho and rider was The.

A few days before, when the boys had gone to the mainland and walked to the village for supplies and to write the weekly letter home to let their folks know that they were well and having a glorious time, some-campers had visited their camp. They used the boys’ fireplace; their dishes which were left unwashed, upset the cover to their “refrigerator cellar” and had tried to s'be funny” by drawing with charcoal on their tent, supposedly funny pictures, On this day there were the same signis of camp visitors. Ned and Ted examined everything carefully. Noth- ing had been stolen, but the visitors snarled one of their fish line and had written: in big letters on the tent: “THANKS.” , “Some people think they are aw fully smart,” grumbled the disgusted Ned. ‘ 1 bet it's those men and women down on the point who are stopping in the log cabin that Mr. Higgins rents to campers,” declared Ted. “Humph!

Ned at once became as excited as Ted and they set to work on the plan, at the same time discuss3 ing the possibility of its working. “Those nosey people mean no harm —they just come over here every time they see us leave. They think it is a lark,’ said Ted. “But if we leave the island, in order to get them to come again, how can we—" “Easy,” interrupted Ted. “We'll start out all right but we'll slip around Rocky Point and sneak back again on the back side of the island.” The next day they put up a rough sign—lettered in birch bark, which read: “BEWARE OF THE SAVAGE This mois: container keeps it crispy and fresi had used their fireplace and dishes,| MONDAY, JULY 3, 1922, 1 WHOOPJEE: ISLAND!” Then they start¥d out as if going to mainland, but after passing close to the shore near the log cabin where the suspected camp visitors were staying, they rowed behind Bocky Point and from there back of a group of islands and back to their own is- land. In the ‘woods they hustled to get ready, keeping secret watch. “Their motor boat is heading this way!" whispered Ned excitedly. And, this was true. Soon the people landed, two young men and four young wom- en. They laughed at the sign and began prying about when suddenly there came from the hemlock thicket back of the boys’ carsp, a bloodthirsty yell that sounded like “Whooodle- codle—yah! “The young women screamed, and the men seemed star tled.
