Ss? aa Resolutions from Home A JOHN HAY CLUB was formed in Rock Springs, +4 the home town of the Republican candidate for] governor, the other evening, and old friends and} neighbors who have known Jonx Har for twenty or thirty years flocked to the meeting in great num- bers. They wanted an opportunity to testify to their confidence in him and to say to the people of the rest of the state upon what they based conclu- sion that he would make a good business governor. The old friends and neighbors put their testimony in the form of a resolution which said among other things “We have explicit confidence and trust in the integrity, honesty, fairness and ability of Jor W. Hay and thoroughly believe in his fitness and his qualification to fill the office of governor of the state of Wyoming.” The expression of these old associates may not be couched in ringing phrases that would thrill the reader of the words; but it is stated in plain, sin- ology such as is used by these friends every day in the y It is in the language that has been addressed by these old friends to ous Har and in turn by Joun Hay to these old friends for many years. It expresses, without frills, cere English phri the mutual confidence, the loyal friendship, the plain acknowledgment of maniy regard that has existed | among them, through their struggles in good fortune and ill fortune, through their joys and sorrows, their rejoicings and lamentations Some cynic will say such a mark of esteem is to be expected from the old home town. The cynic is wrong. No man gets such a recommendation unless it is obviously his due. You receive the regard of the old home town by earning and deserving it. The old home town is not foolish. When it places its approval upon one of its own, it does so knowing that its judgment will be compelled to stand criti- cism from the outside and that the object of its recommendation must measure up fully to the speci- fications claimed. Jounx Hay may well be proud of the resolutions adopted by his neighbors while he is absent waging a fight for the interests of the taxpayers of the state in which he has so long lived. To say that Jomy Hay is honest and fair, confers a title that should be gratifying to any man; but to say th things after daily contact for thirty bestows a distinction above the common. a eee A Busted Steering Gear OR PURE partisan-stubbornness or intellectual stupidity the Richmond, Va., News-Leader should The chamber of commerce be accorded first place. of that city recently endorsed the ship subsidy measure as a means of establishing a permanent American merchant marine.. The News-Leader im- mediately took occasion to say that this is a remedy that most Democrats believe to be wrong, and then it proceeded with a discussion of the subject which is probably unprecedented for inconsistencies. Admitting that one of the numerous disadvan- of the United States marine is that the berths, rves and trade connections of American lines are inferior to those acquired after long years by ether companies under other flags, the Richmond editor says that this can be remedied only as ex- perience gathered and friendships are formed. How experience is to be gathered without actually operating ships the editor does not explain. How new friendships are to be formed without forming | trade connections he leaves his readers to imagine. A further suggestion of the News-Leader is that the United States merchant fleet be turned over to private owners at a small fraction of its cost. Admitting that foreign ships can be operated at less expense than American ships the editor evident- ly does not perceive that ships thus turned over to private owners would be purchased by foreign ship operators and would soon be giving first service to the ports of the country under which they had been registered and building up the trade of our com- merciaY rivals. An equally absurd statement by the Richmond editor is that: “If the worst came to the worst it would be better to assist the yards finan- cially in maintaining their organizations for the study of new designs than to undertake the general scheme of subsidy. That is the best the country can do and all it should attempt to do.” Thus he admits the likelihood of the worst com- ing to the worst, and when that anticipated failure is realized his only suggestion is that the govern- ment assist shipyards in maintaining their organi- zations and studying new designs. So far as des’ prise has alread ure concerned, private enter-} devised the best known in the shipping world. The problem is not one of main-/ taining organizations in shipyards. The great dif. enable American owners to compete successfully with the foreign rival whose expenses are less. The subsidy bill does not propose compensation that will make maltimillionaires of ship operators. The subsidies are meager in amount and will cover only the difference in cost of operation of American | ships as compared with foreign ships. In return! for every subsidy paid the United States will re- ceive valuable service, maintenance of regular and frequent weean transportation lines, for the carry- ing of mails and transportation of freight and pas- sengers where a service is not already available. These regular-steamship lines will be business builders for American industry, finding new or larger markets for our products and bringing the profits on that enlarged trade to the Americaa pro- ducer. In addition, the United States would have first call upon the merchant marine as an auxiliary | a8 jot the navy for transportation of troops and sup- Plies in case of war. The Richmond chamber of commerce is absolute-| ly sound in the position it has taken. The Rich- mond editor for the inconsistency and unsoundness of the position he has taken Mail Order Marieed AIL ORDER MARRIAGES, it appears, are a source of considerable trouble to the postoffice department,” observes the New York Herald. “Aside from the deserted brides who write for governmental assistance in locating runaway hus- bands there are almost daily letters from wives who blame the postal service for the unhappy termina- tion of their excursions into married life. They | complain that they were courted entirely through the mails, and hold the postoffice department direc’ ly responsible for their misfortunes. “Naturally the postoffice department can make} only one reply to these letters—the explanation that its function extends only to the collection, dispatch | and distribution of the mails, together with such preyention as is possible of the distribution of im-} proper matter. “The claim of a suitor that he can support a wife idle ease may be just as flagrant a fraud as the} offer of a swindler to send a genuine engraving upon| the receipt of a quarter, the engraving turning out} to be the portrait of Wasuixcton on a two-cent stamp; but the postoffice department cannot un- dertake supervision of the claims made in protesta-| tion of affection or even of mere willingness to en- ter the matrimonial bond. tion and control would thereby Le opened up! Sup- pose, also, that the government were to exercise supervision over the promises made by husbands to} their wives and transmitted through the mails. Could there be found in the United States a candi- date for the post of chief of the marital relations bureau of the postoffice department? “The following passage from one letter is said by} postofiice offcials to be typical of the others re-| ceived: ‘I want to know if I can start suit against my: husband. We married through a correspondence} club advertised in the newspapers, and he sent me! money by a marry him, He also courted me by mail. After the wedding he failed to support and take care of me, and finally left me altogether. I want to know if T can do anything through the postoffice department, as our business, such as arranging for the marriage details, was transacted entirely by mail.’ “The psychology of persons: who will marry on the evidence contained in letters and perhaps a photograph is puzzling. But it is no more puzzling than the psychology of persons who after years of acquaintance, marry and then discover they are tem- peramentally unsuited.” Debt Cancellation ARL BALFOUR was not at all frank in his ad- dress to the other allied nations on the subject of cancellation of debts. His suggestion that debts be cancelled all around, or, as newspaper headliners have been pleased to express it, that “the slate be wiped clean,” leaves the impression that he was pro- posing for the United States nothing different from what he proposed for Great Britain, France, Bel- gium or any other nation. The fact is, however, that the circumstances are not identical. Great Britain is not only a creditor but a debtor. The ‘United States is a creditor only. If Great Britain should cancel $2,of uncollectable debt due her and in return therefore have the United States cancel $1 of collectable debt due from Great Britain to this country, Great Britain would be so much the gainer. This country, on the other hand, has no creditor which it could also ask to cancel an obligation. This “wiping the slate clean” would, therefore, mean that all other nations would be relieved of their obligations while the American people would be left to tax themselves to raise the $11,000,000 to pay the obligations issued in the form of Liberty Bonds as a means of raising the money which we loaned to Great Britain and the other allied nations. When all of the parties to transactions occupy the position of both debtor and creditor, the strik- ing of balances is a convenient and entirely just method of settling accounts. If Jones owes SuivH and Sari owes Jonnson and Jonnson owes Jones, the circle of indebtedness can be liquidated by each of them cancelling an equal amount of debt. But if each creditor did not also owe an equal amount the process of cancellation would very clearly leave the first creditor a loser. It is a notable circumstance that a large number of prominent newspapers, most of them advocates of the league of nations and closely im sympathy with the iniernational bankers, have presented to their readers Eant Batrour’s suggestion concerning the mutual cancellation of debts but have failed at the same time to call the attention of their readers to the fact that the United States is not a debtor and, therefore, not in a position to share in the bene- fits of the cancellation scheme. A newspaper that will thus unfairly present a case to the disadvantage of its own country and its own readers lays itself open to suspicion of being under the control of foreign influences. Whether this control be due to foreign ownership or merely to a sympathetic interest in the welfare of foreign countries makes little difference to the American. reader. The citizen of the United States who pays his good money for an American newspaper has a right to the assurance that the paper he receives will at least not give him information that deceives Beulty is in operating ships at a cost which will him to his own injury. |wantages of extensive: traveling in the “If it could what a field for government regula-; postoffice money order to come and} An Excellent Woman Mrs. Cyrus Beard of Cheyenne bas announced her candidacy for the of-! fice of state superintendent of public! instruction in the Republican primar-| jes August 22. She taught for three years Im city schools in Iowa, five years in Ne- braska, and stx in Evanston, Wyo. where she was principal of the high school and city superintendent .od was a training teacher for five sun.- mers in e summer school conducted for teachers. i Mrs. Beard has had the cultural ad- { } ' United States and for nearly a year in Wurope, and has had much expe- rience in organization work in civic and club activities, She organized the women of Iaramie county and the women of Cheyenne for war bond sales and the children of Cheyenne for Red Seal sales. She has been twice president of the Cheyenne Women's club, a member of its executive board for many years, and is a member of state historical societ: In religious faith Mrs. Beard is an Episcopalian and in politics a stauch Republican. As the wife of the late Cyrus Beard, chief justice of the Wyoming supreme court Mrs. Beard was enabled to keep in close touch with all matters of in- terest in a growing state. For ixteen years Judge Beard served Wyoming faithfully, efficient- ly, and with remarkable devotion to his high calling; but the responsibil. ities of a man with a family, a small ary, and the stress of the war per- fod, made it impossible for him to leave an estate adequate for the fam- fly's support in idleness for any con- siderable timo. Mrs. Beard is fully qualified by edu- cation, temperament and health for the discharge of the duties of super- intendent of public instruction in Wyoming. She is worthy in every way of the honor her friends are seek- ing for her. Republican voters of the state would do well to consider Mrs. Eeard’s qual- ifications and claims when they go to the ballot box on August 22. sade hans << ait * Why Jim Reed Won “The Democratic newspapers in the east are offering nino and ninety ex- cuses for the victory of that most in- dependent of Democrats, Jim Reed of Missouri,” notes the New York Herald. “Let us offer the hundredth: The Democrats of Missourl preferred to | have Reed, with all his faults as they | saw them, rather than Breckenridge Long, With all his distinguished sup- | port and what it stood for. | ‘The Democrats of Missouri have | renominated Jim Reed for senator be- cause his course in Washington con- vinced them that he could be depend- ed upon to do the brave thing. When he gave a memorable exhibition of courage by attacking the league of na- tions covenant he was supposed to be reading himself out of the party which through its leader, President Wilson, stood for the covenant. “But when the election of 1920 came it was plain enough that Reed had not read himself out of Missouri. That state, which had gone for a Re- publican president only twice since. Grant's day—Roosevelt carrted it in 1904 by 25,000 and Taft in 1908 by a few hundred—gave Harding a plural- ity of 152,000. Missouri voted that day that President Wilson was wrong and Jim Reed right. This week the Democrats of the state repeated the verditt at the primaries. “Jim Reed is a man who makes ‘warm friends and bitter enemies, Some- times in politics an enemy is as use- ful as a friend. It was Reed's for- tune so to have offended Woodrow ‘Wilson that the former president, with all the enthusiasm and dexterity of which he is capable, sought in the open to prevent Reed from being renominated. If Mr. Wilson consid- ers himself stfll the leader of his par- ty he must have believed that it would be rather easy to end Reed's career. But through Mr. Wilson's very ac- tivity the Missouri Democrats came to look upon Breckenridge Long as representing Wilsonism and Wilson- ism as still representing the covenant. “Under the circumstances it was the battle of 1920 all over again, with the Republicans looking on. And Reed won it after a campaign fought with the courage that marked his assault on the covenant.

Today Los Angeles is| jority.” the most rapidly growing city in the United States. 535 new industries were established there during the past year fand every 20 minutes a new building is <o~pleted. The greeicc: industrial exposition expansion in Los Angales last year. tries for 1921 was $800,000,000. For 34 years the Los Angeles Cham- ber of Commerce has been actively engaged In this program of industrial growth and contsructive activity. It is today the largest commercial organization in the world. It has been largely responsible for the development of Los Angels harbor which now has approximately 50 deep sea steamship services running out to nearly every corner of the globe. The Los Angeles Chamber of Com- merce is a commercial organization that seems to be run on corporation ness basis for the purpose of develop- ing the southern part of the state as fa great commercial center. It cuts out hot air and devotes its energies to se- curing results in the way of civic and industrial development. Nothing is too large, nothing is too small for it to tack’ The Sentiment for Hay “Hay sentiment is as strong in southern Wyoming as it is in central and northern Wyoming—which means that the Rock Springs business man should receive the Republican nomi- nation for governor by a very sub- stantial majority.” The foregoing 1s the gist of a rey port brought to Sheridan by a prom- {nent Republican observer whom bus- iness during the last fortnight has taken into every quarter of the state. He was certain when he left Sheri- @an, he related, that John W. Hay would lead in this section when’ the votes in the Republican primary were counted, but he was without definit information regarding sentiment at the state capitol and elsewhere in southern Wyoming. His uncertainty in this respect was dispelled soon after he began interviewing Repub- Ucans in the southern counties. Even at Cheyenne, where appointees of the Carey administration” are vorking feverishly to create sentiment in favor of the renomination of the governor, he stated. he found Republicans— leaders and members of the rank and file—predominantly in favor of the candidacy of Hay. In other southern counties Hay sentiment was pro- nounced, with every indication that the Rock Springs candidate would be given a majority in every county and would come north with a substant lead. If so, it is the opinion of this chserver, and of others familiar with northern Wyoming political sentl- ment, Hay's primary majority will run well into thousands. In central Wyoming the Sheridan traveler found things not merely mil- itant, but rampant. Indications here, be stated, are that Hay will be un! formly successful—even in Governo} Carey's home county of Conve! Casper Fepublicans forecast that Na- trona county would give the Hoc! Springs man the largest majority of any county, not excepting Hay's home county of Sweetwater. In the Big Horn Basin the Sher!- danite found that sentiment had not crystalized as thoroughly as fn other sections, He was there, however, at the time of the arrival of Hay in the Hasin and observed that the Fock Springs candidate was making a fav- orable impression. Governor Carey's intensive campaign in that region, the Sheridanite observed, left very little impression, and he was of the opinion that by the time Hay's trip through the Basin was concluded sentiment would hayg veered strongly in favor of his candidacy. In northeastern Wyoming—Sheri- dan, Johnson, Crook and Weston covnties—there is no mistaking the great and rapidly rising tide of Hay sentiment and in this region he should pile up a strong lead in the primary balloting. “Wyoming voters, not onty Repub- cans but & notable number of Dem- ocrats as well,” said the Sheridan ob- server, are convinced that the state needs a business executive of the abil- ity and integrity of John W. Hay to the national convention of 1920 has renominated him for the senatorship. If Reed voted himself out of his par- ty,then the party voted itself back to Reed. “A canvass like that in Missouri ts a fine thing for the state and the country. It stirs up the sluggish voters. It reminds the people that ts- sues are worth fighting for and t! a good fighter need not fear even the very great. Only one feature of the campaign could be considered re- grettabla Mr. Wilsons’ thoughtful admirers must be saying that it would have been better if he had reserved his fire for some other, some more impersonal occasion. And when we say “thoughtful admirers” we include Breckenridge Long.” ered. 20 American Legion membership drive iz on.

General Zebulon Pike found them in 1806 when he was exploring the region west of the Misswurl flor the United States government and also discovered that they were flying over their capital the Spanish fing. He had some difficulty in convincing them that Spain no longer controlled the country, but when he proved this to them they lowered the Spanish colors and ran up the American flag. This was the first time, it is said, that the United States flag was raised in what is now the state of Kansas. “The principal river which flawed through their land was called the Republican. - Upon the formation of the state Kansas named one of the counties on the northern border Republic, in honor of this ancient In- va) WHO LIKE ADVENTURES ADVENTURE TRAILS Blazed for You by Lewis Allen Browne Ned and Ted were sitting in their tent, with both flaps back, enjoying the glow from their camp fire and list- ening to the sounds of nature—tree toads, frogs, and night birds.
