There is the demand for federal funds to control almost every pest to which the agricultural crops of every kind are subject. There is the ever growing de mand that the United States government shall) supply not only supervision but direct assistance 4g./in controlling almost every form of human dis- ease. The United States government now controls enforcement of the liquor laws which was former- ly left to the states and municipalities.

In the ultimate analysis, rexponsibility for large appropriations rests not with congres= but with |the citizenship of the country. It is useless to write to members of congress in opposition to large appropriations in general but at -the same time write to them in favor of particular appro- priations. The two positions are inconsistent and jirreconcilable.

The route was surveyed and established some several years ago. There are no grades and the cost of construction would be light. : Just what is the scenic route? It is a proposed automobile driveway forming 2 loop east and south of the city. It begins at East 15th and South McKinley streets and runs east to a ridge and south through the foothills to Garden Creek falls. then back to the city over the Garden Creek or county road, entering on South Center street. The distance is seventeen or eighteen miles, and the road affords a commanding view of the North Platte valley and the city from the long level ridge east of the city and of the mountains almost throughout the length of the route. : The drive is one of the most beautiful in this section of the state, and would doubtless be used extensively by automobilists desiring a pleasure trip away from the city for an hour or two in mornings and evenings. It starts in the rapidly developing eastern s tion of the city where homes are being established almost overnight, through a corner of the raic ing section and continues for the remainder of length through beautiful mountain scenery with close up of Garden Creek fails, the most charmin: more and more imperative as the city grows and spot to be encountered on the way.

Mondell replied as follows: “J appreciate more than I can tell you the hon- or conferred upon me through the splendid vote bby which I was placed in nomination. I feel under Xpec obligation to every one of the more than t¥enty-five thousand men and women who not- withstanding the fact that my nomination was not contested, took the trouble to give formal approval to my candi¢ yminated as a Republican, I shall if elected support the principles.and policies of the Repub- lican platform of 1920 the latest official an- nouncement of the party faith. It has been my good fortune to have the opportunity to assist in the fulfillment in a large measure of the pledges of that platform, if afforded the privilege, I -shall labor diligently toward the completion of a constructive program in harmpny with our party policies, in the interest of, and for the benefit of all of our people. “During ‘the campaign, upon which I shall en- ter as soon as an do so without neglecting the duties for which I was elected, I shall discuss a number of problems, the consideration and settle- ment of w this time, particularly to the people of our state and region . I believe public office to be a public trust, and if elected to the senate, will give the same constant and undivided attention to the peo- ples’ business that I have endeavored to give dur- ing my service in the house. “I shall consider it a duty as well as a privilege to work for the success of Republican candidates —state, congressional and county. These candi- dates have submitted their clams to the voters in accordance with the state primary law, and are entitled to and wil} I am sure receive loyal and united support. On behalf of our fine and capable state ticket, we pledge a continuation of the clean and honest conduct of affairs that has character- ized Republican administrations, and which af- fords the best possible assurance of good public service in the future along those lines of economy and retrenchment to which we stand pledged.” Demands for Public Money LMOST every important measure that comes +4 before the congress calls for the appropriat?on of money in some form. But it would be unjust to hold congress entirely responsible for the ap- propriations, regardless of the fact that it is the only authority vested with the power to make a uv congressman, be he Republican or Democrat desires to make the total appropriations large. In u great number of instances the demand for pub- lic money comes not from congress but from the people of the several states. The desire to shift the burden of taxation, the desire seemingly to get something for nothing,) have forced our country had it assumed the inter} whereas plain repetition of causes individuals, organizations, communities and states to appeal to their federal representatives for national appropriations for undertakings of a more or less local interest.

Road improvement will be accomplished with the least possible over- head expense. My record as to laborwis too well known to require any statement from me.

These are the only promises made by me to any. onc. I shall not make other pfomises directly or indirectly.” SLE se | The Grief We Escaped | J£ THE PURPOSES of former President Wilson |+ bad been carried into effect, with reference to |joining the League of Nations and accepting a mandate over Armenia, what would have been the position of the United States in the present emer- genecy in the near east? The first purpose of the league covenant is to preserve peace. Economic measures are to be re- sorted to first, but if they fail military force is to be called upon. It is manifest that economic pressure would have no deterrent effect on the Turks against the Greeks, and it is up to the members of the league to call on their armies and navies if the Turk and Greek combatants are to be separated. But the fact is that neither Great Britain nor France has any considerable number of troops at hand, It will be remembered that General Harbord made a thorough investigation two Years ago of the whole Armenian situation. He estimated at the time that it would cost the United States $756,- 000,000 to accept a mandate over that country for five years, the cost for the first year being $275,- 000,000, He recommended a military force of two American divisions, or 59,000 men, to maintain or- der in the country. If the mandate had been ac- cepted according to the Wilson program, the Unit- ed States would be the only Christian nation on the ground with an effective force, although even that would be entirely inadequate to cope with the Turkish army estimated at 200,000. Being a member ef the league, it would haye be- |come the immediate duty of the United States to threaten Turkey with attack, if she did not cease her campaign against Greece also a member. It would have required no action of the other memi- bers of the league to determine that course—the duty of each individual member being clearly in- dicated in article X of the covenant. Armenia is too far removed from the scene of the present fighting to have made it possible for an Ameri- can army to join with the Greeks in meeting the Turks, but it would have been feasible for our two divisions to have conducted a counter demonstra- | tion against Turkey along the Armenian frontier, | which would have had the prompt effect of calling ja halt to hostilities in Asia Minor while the Turks met the new menace in the east. Then the United States would haye found itself launched in a war with Turkey. And not only Tur- key but probably against Russia as well, for it is understood that the Soviets are going to assist |the Turks in the recapture of Constantinople. It is easy to conjecture the further possibilities. Bul- garia is likely to join with the Turks against the Greeks, and it is confident prediction of men fa- miliar with near eastern affairs that the conflict will resolve itself into a religious war, with the Moslem countries of Turkey, Bulgaria, Egypt, Pal- estine, Mesopotamia and India arrayed against the Christian world. Where would the United | States have been in that situation? The two lone divisions in Armenia would have been wiped out long “before reinforcements could have reached them, we would have been embarked on a Jong and dreary war, probably many times more costly in men and money than the world war. | These are not fanciful imaginings. present and probably future situation: the national honor of the U: | } They are the s into whieh} nited States would) national responsibilities urged upon it by Mr. Wil- {son.

He neither smoked nor drank, never hunted trouble, and when he shot it was only to protect the prop erty of the compeny, I chose the name Hipple as an alias for ‘Billy, for {t brings back to my memory his practice of sticlting up his right hand on demand, but stop- ping to cock his sawed off shotgun with his left before following suit with that. The gun was hung on a swivel from his belt, the short barrels concealed in his high boot. A string from his foot to the trigger of the gun made the act of stepping on the coach wheel to reach the express mail bag at the Criver’s feet somewhat risky, es the sequel will show, To the stagecoach robber with a pistol in-his hand, and both: the driver vm gusrd sitting with both bands above their heads, !t looked all right to step up and seize the valuable mail bag. But on one occasion at least two of a gang ‘whose operations I clearly recall found that it turned out badly for them. The careers of the road agents ended then and there. ‘The only time I ever saw Billy lose his nerve was aboard ship on the way to a better paying job as money guard and chief packer to a mine in the West Indies, He lost a little of his pep while in New York waiting for the boat—too blame big and noisy, he said—and the fever down there took hold of him. But as soon as he struck the sagebrush again He was as good as ever; there is where he be- longed. é we GEORGE W. STOKES. 2GRPRGB CART Business English While the class in clumsy English is in session let us glance at a few ex- amples of business men's English as commonly ‘evidenced in commercial correspondence. “In reply, beg to state.” Why bes? “He made only a verbal report, to be confirmed fn writing.” Can an ordinary report be made excspt verb- ally, that ts, employing words? In such cases the user of “verbal” means “oral.” “The data is correct.” Data is the plural of datum and should not be followed by a singular verb. “Bivery one will remove their hat.” Every one means each one of all, and the sentence, of course, should read, Every one will remove his or her hat. “The names were as follows.” Com- plete sentences would read: The names ‘were as (they) follow: the list of names was as (it) follows. “I greatly appreciate your kind- ness.” Appreciate in this sense rieans to be able to jucge or under- stand « thing or an act to the utmost of tts value, its niceties. We can ap- preciate only what we understand, be it music, the delicate workmanship in 2 fine watch, the, niceties of a lang- uage. But we do not “greatly” ap- preciate anything any more than’ we weigh a pound weight greatly. How often we see evidences in tet- ters of inability to differentiate be- tween the pronoun and verb “it's” and the possessive “its.” Not infre- quently we see this confusion’ also in moving picture titles, many of which are apeckled with errors tn English and are incorrect in punctuation. Perhaps no other word is more un- necessarily and avoidably‘ used than fs “however.” It generally can bo omitted without loss, and ‘especially ‘f one be paying #2 a-word cable tolls and be not desirdus of employing al- most meaningless And the confusion twins “former” and “latter.” Their use always jerke the attention back and. checks the progressing continuity of the thought, ie word referred to as “former” ¢7 would sustain lucidity.

HELEN FRAZEE-BOWER. eas naa =, Catching Cold Among the theories advanced to explain “catching cold’ is that the cold draft chills the blood and that the chilled blood injures the internal organs. Chilling of the surface in- duces hyperemia jn mucous mem- branes. ‘The mucosa in the norco and throat may red under the influenc of chilling of the feet. But no one knows why this active hyper- emia in the mucosa predisposes to “catching cold.” One would think that it would have tho opposite ef: fect, protecting against “catching cold.” Ruhemann Insists 'that the cold and wet rouse the saprohytes to virulence. Prolonged lack of sunshine rouses the slumbering bacteria and the micro- organisms of catarrh® and rheuma- tism become actively aggressive. This theory seems to be disproved by the fact that “colds” develop in the sunny south fully as often as in bléak north- ern weather. Schade explains the ef- fect of chilling as tending to get the colloids in the protoplasm. Any change in the colloid condition, no matter how transient, must upset the normal processes more or less. This “gelosis” from the action of cold can be felt in the stiffness in the face and hands after brief exposure to severe cold, and he thinks similar changes may occur in internal tissues and may modify the defensive forces and entail “catching cold.” This theory deserves consideration, but neither this nor any other theory satisfecterity explains the origin. of ‘colds.” They have a three pronged reot—a local or general predisposi- tion -to chilling, an opportunity’ for chilling som susceptible portion of the body, and an infectious process which develops in the tissues modi- fied by the effect of the chilling. The predisposition seems to be entailed more by indoor life than by exposure to weather. He adds that it fs futile to try to “harden” certain familles. They are constitutionally predisposed to “colds” and there is no help for them except in warding off opportunities. Cold baths are contraindicated in scrofula, tuberculosis and asthme, and child: ren in lymphatic, rheumatic and neuropathic families should be given cold baths very cautiously, if at all, Deep breathing exercises, he adds, may'do harm by drawing dust and ‘bacteria into the lungs. The “tendency to repsated “colds” may be the first sign of infection with tuberculos!s. In sanitarlums re: clining out of ‘doors should be tem- pered for the anaemic, rheumatic and catarrhal patients. Open windows at [night may maintain a persisting “cola” in the tuberculous. In any event a tuberculous patient with a “eold’””. should be kept in a warm room the same’as for a ‘cold’ in the non- tuberculous. For the weakly, he says, cool air seems to be a polson, for catarrhal conditions in the upper air passages. The tissues are left sensitive and! Prone to recurrence and the weakix} child alloved to go out on a sunny winter or spring day before he has recovered entirely is Mable to react with a chranic catarrbal bronchitis. Children who react in this way, with exacerbation of the bronchial catarrh every time they are allowed to go out of doors, must stay indoors in an even temperature. It is difficult to decide sometimes whether too much coddling or a sub- standard constitution or other factor is Fesponsible, but one thing is cer- tain, that an indoor life is bad for both man and animals. ——>—___.

Most persons suppose that when the stars appear to lose their liveli- ness of light and shine without twinkling, fair weather is in prospect. ‘Studies made in France and Switzer- land seem to contradic: this belief. It has been found that when the stars are feeble in their scintiliations foul weather is at hand.
