The fear is more alarming because, as the Tribune says, the @pposition newspapers will take advantage of any unfavorable expression, magnify it and use it later in the election campaign should the candidate in question, perchance, be the Republican nominee. The Cheyenne contemporary is one of the news- papers in the state that pretends never to have a choice among or between candidates for the same office. It poses during a primary campaign as non- combatant and neutral. This, so far as editorial expression goes. Yet, in the present primary sea- son, as in past ones its news pages and its adver tising pages tell a far different story. The news columns reflect the sentiment of the paper in place of the editorial columns; and as for the advertising pages almost everything goes. Matter is accepted and published reflecting upon candidates aid more likely to bring a realization of the Tribune's fears of use by the opposition press, than if that news paper had the courage to express an editorial opin jon, or the sand to publish a news account that told the truth instead of camouflaged the facts. There is nothing gained by pussyfooting in a matter where the public is concerned. The public is entitled to know, and the newspaper is unfaith- ful to its trust if it does not tell its readers what it knows and what it fears before the primary rather than after the election. It is a whole lot better to sweep up your own dooryard than to have your neighbors do it for you. In politics, as in many other ventures in life, blows are given and taken and no one of sense or experience in politics ever suspected it of being a perfectly ladylike game or that nobody but angels participated. The fears of the Cheyenne Tribune are visionary. Nothing will happen in the Wyoming primary to mar the sweet accord that prevails. No one will wantonly assault the personal character of a can- didate. If he is unfit the public will know with- out the newspaper flushing its columns with cess: pool meter ———9 The Slogan of Delusion é¢X7O MORE WAR?” is the latest slogan of delu +* sion, states the Boston Transcript. It is a noble sentiment.. Every right-thinking person must wish that it might be fulfilled; must indeed strive for its fulfillment. But like other counsels of per- fection, it is mot automatically self-executing. Demetrius could rouse the mob to howl “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!” for the space of two hours at a stretch; but that did not make Diana great, nor prevent her temple from being destroyed. Neither will shrieking “No more war!” establish perpetual peace. On the contrary, the spirit and the manner in which this cry is being raised is al- most inevitably calculated to provoke the yery dis- aster which it purports to deprecate. Six duced by another slogan: “He kept us out of war! The sequel was that we were very soon plunged fnto war, unprepared. It is notorious that that slogan, promptly reported to Germany, greatly en- couraged that criminal power not only to persist in the war but also to wage it more ruthlessly. It is also notorious that, in order to give the thing a semblance of sincerity the administration which by that specious means was seeking a second term of power, systematically refused and discouraged all preparation for the war which every rational man knew was inevitable. There is no exaggeration in aying that because of that lying slogan, thousands of young Americans are now in soldiers’ graves. Six years ago; and history repeats itself. The slogan “No more war!” is just as insincere and just as pernicious as that of “He kept us out of wa Just as the campaign cry of 1916, by encouraging our enemies and weakening ourselves, made war for us all the more certain and all the more costly, so this later cry is calculated to foster the influences and processes which lead to war, and at the same time to unfit this nation and all who are deluded by it for preventing war or for dealing with it effec- tively when it comes. No doubt there are many good people among those who are propogating it. So there were many zZood people six years ago, cry- ing “He kept us ont of war!” But good people, “as common mortals,” are not exempt from delusion and error. The fact is, as Mr. S. Staxwoon Menxen said in his letter to the editor of the Transcript the other . the “No more war” movement is, to a large ex- . part of a plan of internationalists and parlor lists, of them of bolshevist origin. to spread their theories of internationalism and to yes many —<— Preside:t ana Editor | urs ago the country was deluded and se-| trying to influence congress to withhold appropria tions for the army and navy and to discredit and discourage all rational preparations for national defense. At the same time they are insidiously or jopenly inculcating principies subversive of demo cratic government and provocetive of class warfare. As we have formerly pointed out, they do nothing to abate the causes of war, while they strive to un- |fit the nation for maintaining peace. It is not war but democracy to which they are opposed; it is not perce but internationalism, socialism, bolshevism, that they are seeking to establish. Pottox has re Representatives. 1720-23 Steger Bidg., Chicago. | minded us of a man Who stole the livery of the court of Heaven to serve the Devil in. There are those who appropriate the phrases and the sentiments of peace for the abhorrent pur. poses of war, or of those things which are as cer- tain to lead to war as the rivers are to run into \the sea. The real animus and intent of those who conceived the “No more war!” slogan is “No more |preparation against war!” | To Abolish Apple Pie | ABOLISH the apple pie? That would be a calam |+* ity to alot of eminently respectable foiks. Yet, that is exactly what is advocated by a Massachu setts lady named Crarx speaking at a state-wide! |farmers’ convention. In support of her contention Sister Crank maintains that “Apple pie is hard to! make and hard to digest.” | Being a native of New England the good lady ought to know something about pie, and in the sud den determination she has shown to rid the world of applie pie, it would have been no more than fair treatment to apple pie eaters to specify a little more minutely as to just what sort of apple pie she pence: There is no doubt that a lot of it ought} to be fed to the hogs instead of offered to confiding human beings. The kind of apple pie that the Ciark lady refers to in her campaign of extermina- tion, is doubtless the culinary combination which is built on a foundation of soggy pasteboard with a layer of half-cooked sour apples as the filling, the |mess surmounted with a pale sickly top crust that |sinks down over the lumps of hard apples present- ing a perfect relief map of the Rocky Mountain lregion. If it is this variety of apple pie, more power to Mrs. CLark’s propaganda. But on the other hand, if the militant sister has any designs on a certain artistic confection with a light flaky brown crust and known and recognized jthe world over as real apple pie, the reform cam- paign will fail because the pie biters’ union will revolt, and this union has a tremendous voting strength. A move of the character started by Mrs. Crank may make some headway in Massachusetts because apple pie is not indigenous to the New England climate and a shrewd move to protect the sacred baked beans, doughnuts and pumpkin pie of our Yankee ancestors is seen in Sister Crark’s effort. When news of the CLark movement reaches the country west of the Hudson river prepare for a season of stormy protests. | a | The Essence of Bolshevism ROM THE beginning of civilization the acquire- ment of a profit has been the stimulus which has duced men to work, to endure and to save. The hope of laying aside a competence during the days of health and strength and activity as a means of sustenance in the years of decline and old age, has impelled men to give up their comfort and ease while they strive to take from the soil that which directly or indirectly will sustain them in the pres- ent and the future. It is the hope of the larger re- ward that induces men to prepare themselves for something more than unskilled iabor, that induces them to save and invest their savings, that causes them not only to utilize their own personal ability and efforts but also to accumulate capital which | will enable them to give employment to others. | Service without profit is the ideal of the bolshe- vist and he resorts to arms to force the rendering of the services. He confiscates all the products of the farm not needed for the immediate sustenance jot the life of the tiller of the soil. Acting upon |the same theory of economics, the bolshevist gov- lernment confiscated the factories, which represent- ed the profits of men who bad toiled for years and jsaved a portion of the product of their toil in order to utilize it in the establishment of industrial insti- tutions which would furnish employment for large nubmers of men. Confiscation meant destruction, land, as a consequence, lack of production is the lzgreat trouble in Russia today | Know and Respect Him | JP)URING ALL of his business career, Jonn Hay has employed labor. On railroads, on ranches, jon the range, in the coal business, in the oil fields and in every enterprise in which he has engagéd. |There is one outstanding fact in connection with |the employment of labor by Joun Hay. He has never had the slightest controversy with his men. No strikes, no dissatisfaction, no disagreements of jany kind. Pay has always been at the top notch. |Conditions have been the best circumstances would | allow and always satisfactory to the men. Hours |have been regulation, under the law, specified in |the agreement or understood verbally. No man has ever worked for Jonn Hay who had an unkind word to say about him when his em- ployment ceased. Thousands of men will testify to Mr. Hay’s absolute fairness, liberality and humane consideration. These same men will testify to his knowledge of the work under way and his judgment and skill in accomplishing it in the best and most jeconomical manner. | Railroad men, mine workers and union labor offi- |cials all over Wyoming have the highest respect for Joun Hay, and a good word to say in his be- |half. | It has been so for a period of thirty years. That jis quite a long time. It is a recommendation good enough for any man in business for that many years. The President’s State HE RESULT of the Ohio primaries reveals that the people of that state are standing firmly by President Harvrxc. Notwithstanding the efforts of the old-time progressive element and several other factional groups to defeat the Harpinc organiza- |tion candidates they were successful in every cor- jner of the state and the pluralities range upward }from seventy-five thousand. It is a tradition in |Ohio to stand by the president, and Ohio has had} considerable stand-by to do in the past fifty years.| Carmi THompson is the Republican candidate for governor and Srareon D. Fess for United States sen- ator. These are staunch friends of the president i For Representative In Congress Charles E. Winter On July 23, the time for filing nom- nating petitions for state officers, United States’ senator and representa- tive in congress, came to a close. On investigation of the lists as filed with the secretary of state, the fact is dis- closed that for the Republican nomi- nation for representative in congres: there are no candidstes from the northern part of the state and but one candidate from the central part of Wyoming. ‘That candidate is Charles E, Winter of Casper. In a geographical sense it might be said thet Judge Winter t# a candidate of central and northern Wyoming for the Republican nomination for con- gresxman. Mr. Winter is, however, further fortunate in having lived for ten years in Carbon county, Wyo- ming, along the Ine of the Union Pa-/ cific in the southern part of the state. | The situation is further logical and ideal in that one senator and another candidate for senator are from the northern part of the state, and the other senator from Cheyenne, in the south. The selection of Judge Winter for the Republican nomination and his election would not only balance the congressional delegation as it is and will be after the election, but his central iccation can be said to be near to and representative of every portion of the state. Twenty years of experience end ac- tivity in law in Wyoming, as a prac- ticing attorney and as a jurist, seven years of that period having been oc- cupied with his service as judge of the sixth judicial district, have given him a statewide acquaintance and rep- utation. One of the leading papers of the southern part of the state, com- menting on the qualifications of Mr. | Winter as candidate for the nomina- tion for congress, has stated its views as follows: “If Mr, Winter wére exclusively a lawyer we might hesitate to endorse his candidacy; for it {s our humble opinion that our government needs someone desides lawyers to direct its varied business affairs. But Judge Winter is more than a lawyer—he is a man of varied experiences and ver- satile accomplishments. While build- ing up a successful law practice at Encampment, Carbon county, he found time to become actively inter- ested in irrigation projects and min- ing development. “Mr, Winter is a student, a tireless worker, and is thoroughgoing in whatever duties devolve upon him. His name is a synonym for honor and moral and business integrity. With his personal knowledge of the various Industries and interest of the state, his keen intellectual ablilities, and his impressive personality, he would make a most worthy successor to Mr. Mon-} dell and would maintain Wyoming's) high standing at the nation’s capital. “He is ‘a widely known attorney, jurist and business man of Casper. For the past twenty years he has deen an honored citizens of Wyoming and through his political activities, as a platform speaker in many cam- paigns and his varled business enter- prises, has become;one of the best known men of the state. If chosen to represent our people at Washing- ton he will take to the halls of con- gress a wealth of knowledge of the varied interests and needs of the people of Wyoming and of the nation at large, ability to welgh national problems in the scales of mature judgment, a strong personality, free, independent and progressive thought, and high ideals of personal and pub- Me morality and justice. Mr. Winter {s unaffiliated with, and not subject to the suspicion of influ- ence or control by any special inter- ests. It is believed that the element of political geography together with more important considerations will make Winter a very strong candidate in the primaryselection.” It sometimes occurs that meme minor incident or effort in the life of a man has unexpectedly had much to do with spreading his name and |tame in his state and making him fa- vorably known to its citizens, and |this is illustrated in the fact that in | 1906, while tra¥eling in Pennsylvania, after a long absence from Wyoming |and his people, Judge Winter wrote a |tew verges on the subject of *Wyo- ming,” which were afterward .set to |music and spontaneously adopted and |accepted by the people of Wyoming jas their state song. This song is used and heard and sung by the school children, and its rendition has been a |notable feature of many state ocea- | sions. | Commenting on his service as judge jot the court of the sixth judicial dis- trict, attorneys have commended two [qualities in particular: those of pa- tlence, and the disposition to sive op- | portunity to counsel of ‘cin sides to | present fully and completely their a |suments and views. Inspection of the |records disclose the affirmance br the | supreme court of Wyoming of 80 per jeent of cases appealed from Judge , Winter's court, which is far above the average, the record of all judges of [the etate since its admission to the |unfon being about 66 per cent. This, his friends consider to be ample proof jof his legal ability and soundness of judgment. These qualities should |stand him in good stead and enable |him to make an equally good record jin congress should he be selected and elected. | It is a matter of record in the Re- |publican party that Judge Winter by his work and ability as a platform speaker on behalf of Republican state and county candidates, has assisted very materially in the election of a great number of Republicans to office, from United States senatora to county jand local officers. In these cam- |paigns he has almost invariably cov- ered national questions and issues, as well as affairs of the state. He has been a student of national politics and Policies for many years. His discu sion of the issues of the 1920 cam- paign were favorably compared with |those of men of national reputation, including some of the ablest senators and congressmen of Washington. Since retiring from the bench in 1919 Judge Winter has known of the trials and tribulations, and has taken part in the experiences of those who have developed the oil industry of the state, and has been successful in the building up of two - ofl companies which have an assured permanent production for many years, and |which, with the recovery of the oil industry as to price and production taken, will pay substantial dividends to their stockholders. His experiences in mining, frrigation. and drainage will be of great benefit in the con- sideration of federal laws and in look- |ing after the interest of the people of the state in the departments at Wi ington. Mr. Winter has on two .c- |casions presented vatuable contribu- tions of importance and moment in the national conventions of the Na- tional Woolgrowers’ association. It-is a rather common belief that lawyers have not known and do not appreciate the conditions and prob- lems of the farmer, livestock man, wage-earner and the laborer, In many cases, however, this is not the fact, and particularly so in the case of Mr. Winter, who,knows the mean- ing of hard physical labor end toll by actual experience, having worked as a young man {n sawmills, a wheel scraper factory and on western ranches. The interest of those who work for wages will never be ignored nor neglected because of want of knowledge and sympathy with their needs and wants. Upon these and other considera- tions, friends of Judge Winter believe A Nation's Strength What builds a nation’s pillars high And its foundations strong What makes it mighty to defy ‘The foes that round it throng?

The “sphygnomanometer,” or “tie etector,” which Justice McCoy re fused to admit as a credible witness in the trial of James Frye for mur- der, continues to hold interst in ‘Washington legal circles. Most recent ot tts proponents é# Dr. E. E. Dud- ding, head of the Prisoners’ Relief Society, who has submitted himself to its tests in an endeavor to obtain what he terms “tardy justice” for him- self. Dr. Dudding was convicted and sentenced for manslaughter a num- ber of years ago, served his time, and since then has devoted himself to the aid and relief cf released prisoners. At his request, Dr. William Mars- ton, professo- of legal psychology st ‘American University, and Paul 5. Hadlick, secretary of the American Psycho-Legal Society, conducted the test. The instrument is similar to that which physicians use for testing blood pressure, but has an especially sensitive needle upon a recording dial, which fluctuates with any change in blood pressure. It is explained that fear, anger, and pain cause the needle to jump, and that no man tells a lic the outcome of which concerns him, without experiencing fear. As neith- er anger nor pain enters into an ex- amination of a witness in court, the jumping of the needle when a ques- tion is answered is held to indicate fear, and therefore lack of truth. Dr. Dudding was put through a gruelling examination as to the al- leged crime for which he was con- victed and sentenced, his inquisitors Going all in their power to confuse and trip him. At no time did the needle jump up, indicating, so the ‘oxperts said, that his answers were invariably truthful O Mighty and Great Is the Lord O! Strong is the arm of the Lord, in power and migth.

The doc. tor testified that there was no sign of Geath by strangulation, so the Cor- ouers duly brought in a verdict of micide by auto-suggestion,” the first of {ts kind on record. The theory is that the man believed he was hang- ing himself, because he had a hand- Kerchief looped over a bed post and about hia neck, and: that the convic- tion that he was being stangled suc- ceeded in killing him, It {s not thought that killing one’s self by thinking one is dead will become Popular!
