The excuse is ais recent authorization of the lease of oil lands in Wyoming. ! Regardless of the facts in the casq the cry is raised, strictly for political purposes, that he is giving away the inheritance of the people to pri- vate interests. The fact that the government and the people receive their percentage of all financial return, withont cost to the taxpayer, is not men- tioned. Secretary Fall must be sacrificed on the altar raised by the advocates of socialism in this nation. : Secretary Fall represents the trne upstanding > American who believes in the right of the indi- vidual and private enterprise. He believes that the government is to protect the individual in his constitutional right to go ahead and do business, and not put the mdividnal out of busine: « Such a doctrine is a death blow to socialism and all the other isms that would destroy initiative, eesvisears hence the attack on Fall by the long haired and/jfavailable labor. much be-whiskered horde that America. Fall is a westerner. He understands the prob- = lems of western states much better and with a clearer vision than the pack barking at his heels. ~ Let’s thank God for Fall, He does business.

Hay is a business man. . “His personal success has resulted from recog- = nition and practice of sound business prineples. “He believes in the efficacy of application of business principles in government to provide relief from excessive ation. “In his candidacy for governor of Wyoming his public utterances haye shown, he has his attention om the fundamentality in government of the factor of ‘overhead expense.’ “Unwise multiplication of offices, duplication and confnsion of official duties, lack of fall and efficient service from every government function- ary, create unnecessary expense and require the levying of oppressive taxes to meet such expense. “The burden of taxation, he s Ys, may be ma- terially lightened by the elimination of unnecessary governmental expense. ‘ imple, isn't it?—but the remedy for a very e Wyoming ill.” it -- a Insurance ‘Against Robbery TRE LAW of supply and demand is an automatic check on the volume of any crop or manufac. tured article produced. Competition is the regulator which+to a large ex- tent establishes the price to the consumer. Do away with competition and the producer or manufacturer can, to a large extent establish his own price regardless of cost of production or value of the article. American beet sugar has been the domestic com- petition which under normal conditions has been the check which has prevented foreign sugar pro- ducers charging the American public ali the traffic will bear. A sound tariff of about twe cents a pound to per- mit the American beet sugar industry to meet for- eign competition is the best insarance the American public can have against exorbitant sugar prices. Also it permits the development of one of our greatest farm crops and land developers which without-such protection would be wiped ont of ex- istence. rT eypenogg nny +0 0 : Rights of the Public HE MATTER of fue! supply so deeply concerns th® public that it has unquestionably the right to be protected in the controversy between employ- ers and employes.

Can we hope for permanent prosperity for farm “ts and manufacturers unless we maintain Amer. igan ‘shipping to carry our surplus to market? Representative Robertson of Oklahoma is only a womnn, from a landlocked interior state without | a harbor, but she senses the situation. She says: “We must do something to keep our flag upon the seas. If we had had a merchant ma- rine we would not have had the trouble we did dur- ing the European war. “T am an American and I am for America. T hear it said the middle west will not stand for a ship subsidy. But I don’t know. We must keep our ships afloat and under our flag. “When I see the cattle and sheep in the fovtile valleys, plains and mountain fides of the west, and see the men toiling‘on the farms I pass, I wonder what they will do without markets for the things they raise? While other nations are building up their ship- ping according to the principles of sound economic laws that are international in their scope, we are trying to operate ships on lines of ward politics, ————_. The Industrial Situation of ithe railroad strike t¥e general industrial sit- nation his improved until the amount of unemploy- ment during the past month has been compara- tively small. The iron and steel industry has been operating at above 75 per cent of nominal capacity, but this has meant practically full employment for Reports from the southern iron centers have told of the recruiting of negro labor by agents from the north. The cement industry has been going full speed, sustained by the large amount of highway building under way and the latter of itself has called for a large supply of la- ber. The amount of house-building in pregress has kept the building trades and building material trades well employed. The lumber industry on the Pacific coast Is above normal, and the Southern association’s report is about ‘aormal. In Detroit} the labor situation in the last three months has ap- proached conditions at the height of the boom. The output of automobiles and trucks in May made it the banner month for the industry. It is interesting to rote that the great bulk of the automobile busi- is in the cheap and moderate-priced cars. Cars selling at $3,000 and upwards will not aggregate more than 3 per cent of the total. Wage advances have taken place in numerous instances, one of the most noteworthy being the advance in the iron industry from $5.50 to $6.00 per ton for puddling. The cases are sufficiently numerous to demonstrate that wage-earners ak a rule lose nothing by concessions in bad times which help industry back into activity. The interests of wage-earners are served by getting industry busy. | The outward movement of migration during ‘the| past year, and the restrictions upon immigration have had influence upon the labor situation. Nation Not Disturbed QFFrctar Washington is not especially per- turbed over the recent proposals to curb the power of the suprenie court by amending the consti- tution so that congressional re-enactment of legis- lation (ermed unconstitutional by the supreme court would suffice to make the alleged unconsti- tutionality constitutional. me The general comment among legislative leaders is that it would be impossible to get three-fourths of | the states to agree so radically to alter the form of government which has lasted so well, and under which this country has so decidedly prospered. Neither are the various amendments which the American Federation of Labor is understood to fa- yor considered as probable, especially that one which proposed an “easier method” t the pres- ent of changing the constitution. It is pointed out that the very difficulty of changing the constitu tion is one of the greatest safeguards of American y of the land as it is to pass an appropriation ill, passion, fans . 2 well-organized minority, | any special interest might tamper with the consti tution as it pleased. It is not contended by the most erndite consti- tutional lawyers in congress that the organic act which makes the United States a country is per fect. That it has been amended 19 times shows| that it has lacked something of perfection. But neither is it generally considered that every amend. ment has been truly beneficial. That more fre quent and less well-considered alterations would be of real use to the country is not believed, save, perhaps, by the very radical element in congress, which has been, and probably never will be, repre. sentative of truly American standpoints. CSRS 7 ic r * ‘American History SIOME PEOPLE have the idea, apparently, that 0 “history is a study which may be changed at will; that it is possible by. legislative” enactment to admit this or take away that fact from a history. History is a chronicle of that which was. If a |thing happened, it happened. If a thing didn’t happen, it didn’t happen. Saying that George ‘Washington was an Eskimo wouldn’t make him one, declarizg that Pickett won or lost the battle of Gettysburg woul not add to ox detract from his true historical position.

They found Mr, Preston oiling up his hay spreader. “Do you mind if we fish tn your trout stream?” Ted asked. “No indeed. No indeed,” he said with a smile, “But you boys picked a bad day.” “Bad? It looks like a real good —_—_—__— day for trout fishing to me, “It's rea! cloudy and there's a breeze to ripple the surface of the water and it will probably rain, which will make it even better.” Mr. Preston smiled and shook his head. “No rain today, boys. The sun will soon be out, the breeze will die down and it will be hotter than a Dutch oven in August.” Ned and Ted exchanged glances. They couldn't. believe it. Mr.. Pres * said Tea.

Both boys looked down at the little spider webs that glistened in the grass and Ted said: “Well, I've got more respect for spiders than I ever had be- fore.” Everyone ought to respect spid- ors,” said Mr. Preston. “They do no harm and they destroy millions of flies and insects that eat up growing things. It’s too had you boys had the long trip for nothing. You won't have much luck in this weather.” “We'll come again when it rains,” said Ned. By this time the clouds were disappearing and the sun was getting hotter and hotter. “We ought to have a barometer,” said Ned. “Too expensive, and we right break it, moving our camp about,” said Ted. “I'll maks you one,” said Mr. Pres- ton. The boys became doubtful but inter- ested, thinking it was one of his good- natured jokes. But he went Into the tool house and found an old rusty plummet. Then he picked up a piece of rawhide and cut off a long, thin string of it, about three feet long and fastenet the plummet to one end. “Nail this up to a tree,” he sald, “tack up a piece of cardboard behind the plummet. On some medium day when it Is neither too damp or too WEATHETR @ISDOM hot and dry, draw a line across the cardboard right where the middle of the plummet will rest. On top of this line write ‘WET’ and under the line write ‘DRY,’ and there you are.” “There we are, Sir, but just where are we?” laughed Ted, “Well, sir,” said Mr. Preston, “that ton noted this and smiled. “Come here,” hé said and led them to some grass in the yard. “See ill those cob- ebs spread on the grass?

When there is going to be & dry spell the dampness goes out of the salt, making it lighter, and the side with the weight will drop lower.” “Of course. That is easy to under- stand—when someone tells us,” laughed Ted. “Or take an ordinary ginger cookie or ginger snap and hang it up,” con- “taued Mr. Preston. “If it is dry and brittle, it means fair dry weather—it St gets soft and soggy, look out for rain.” “Five cents worth of ginger snaps are just as good as a $5 barometer,” exclaimed Ted. “Better,” declared Ned, “for it you get hungry you can eat the ginger snaps."—(Friday—“Collecting Animal! ‘Tracks.”) Tomorrow—Merry Makings.
