And enough time has now elapsed to view the whole matter calmly. It was a political measure pure and simple and by dodging an unpopular tax, congress tried to give ex-soldiers something through various alternatives instead of levying a tax and paying the cash or its equivalent. Business judgment and political expegliency do not always run well together. The president acted in accordance with ideas of economy and good business for the nation as well as for the veterans. Injured or disabled soldiers should have every consideration at the hands of the American people, and this they are receiving through the veterans’ bureau. Paying out billions of dollars in bonuses, how- ever, to young men who returned to private life sound and healthy is a different matter. It takes nerve for a public official to practice public econ- omy in a “political situation” such as this. If the people, including the returned soldiers want economy in public affairs and reduced taxes they must not demand too much. Head Off the Disgrace ee on earth is being done to nislead - the American people in regard to the necessity for passing the shipping bill, if the United States is to maintain its independence at sea. There would be no necessity of a shipping bill if ‘American ship owners were allowed to operate their business as foreign owners are, free from such restraining influences as our own merchant marine laws which by handicapping American ship owners make it impossible for them to com- pete with the foreigner who is not hampered by such legislation The great trouble is that the whole shipping question has been made a political issue and in- stead of deciding the question on its merits and letting the facts in the case govern their actions, too many of our politicians are simply fighting the measure as a cheap means of gaining notorieity in the hopes of securing votes from an uninformed or misinformed public. allowed to drift back into the negligible position it occupied previous to the world war it will be a na- tional disgrace. sess The Wrong Angle Y RESIGNING from the United States supreme court Mr. Justice Clarke placed the act upon very high ground. Not so with his statement of) facts. He says he intends to maintain “a position of independence” so that he can “tell the truth to the country unbiased by personal or partisan inter- eat; Judge Clarke is convinced there is a well defined} movement in this country in favor of a league of} peace, if not the league of nations, then some other association of nations that will work for world peace. of indi als capable of leading that movement. Nobody can find fauit with Judge Clarke's high altruism and statements of fact up to that point, but he reveals his true motives and his innate democratic partisanship when he asks “why then has nothing heen done by our administration dur- ing the past two years to advance the “great! cause?” He would have the people believe that it is quite impossible to advance the cause of world! peace while the Republican policy of non-interfer- ence with European affairs controls our govern- ment, and that not until we abandon our independ-| ence of action and join some foreign league can the United States do its full part. | Apparently Judge Clarke has been so immersed in the judicial atmosphere that he has failed to if our merchant marine is| Tit. vs credited in this paper and/tural production. methods, more scientific methods of breeding and| ltairs, just as they have from time immemorial and raed relating to world peace have been subor- dinat How different has been the story of our own Ted at Gasper (Wyoming), Postotfice as second class Country. Judge Clarke professes to see nothing that} |President Harding has done to advance the peace jof the world. His countrymen are more familiar “Sj with the facts, as be will find when he undertakes )to convert them to the league idea. They know that |it was President Harding who called nine nations \together in the Washington armament conference, and so inspired fhe delegates that treaties were ne- gotiated providing for big reductions in the five largest navies in the world, and for the removal of potential causes of war in the Pacific and far east. jat the chief controversy that threatened to disturb ‘the peace of the western world, and brought Ghile and Peru together in an arbitration that will settle They know that he has directed the pacifica- rea of Haiti and San Domingo, and brought re- |forms to Cuba where civil war threatened.

Rather the nations of the old world should look to the Repub- lican administration of this country for the last two years, and profit by the example of practical measures for world peace that it has adopted. a A Useful Activity | preoae ITS CREATION the department of agri- culture has given major attention to agricul- It has promoted better cultural feeding livestock, has introduced and has helped to develop better variety of plants, has taught methods of combatting plant and animal disease, and in general has done everything in its power to promote larger production of agricultural prod- ucts. In recent years it has become more evident that it is just as necessary that the farmer be able to market his crops at fair prices as to produce them in the first place. Under the administration iding swimming pools for the chil. |/0f Secretary Wallace this phase of the depart- jment’s work has been greatly strengthened. In his | first annual report he said that “marketing farm jcrops is as truly a part of production as is the |growing of the crops in the first place,” and that “the dissemination of knowledge of what to pro- duce and how best to market it is as much needed jas the knowledge of how to produce.” In short, his thought has been that the aim in building up our agriculture is to grow the sort of crops needed and to learn how to market them at a price which will give the farmer and the farmer's wife a reasonable return for their labor. He has insisted that if our agriculture is to be maintained the financial rewards ty the farmer and his wife and his children must be fairly comparable with the financial rewards in other occupations. He bas further insisted that the farmer's wife has a right to the comforts, conveniences and lux- uries equal to the right of the city wife arid that the farmer’s famjly must have educational, social and religious opportunities fairly comparable to sim- ilar opportunities in the city. With this general aim, the deparement of agriculture has to some extent been reorganized during the past two years giving far greater attention to the business side of farming, to the end that farming may become more ‘profitable. 2 This new emphasis will make especial appeal to the women on the farms of America. No matter how faithfully we may labor, nor how large the bumper crop we may succeed in raising, it is after all, the income which determines the standards of our family life, the comforts we can have, the ad- vantages we can enjoy and give to our children, and the security we can provide for ourselves in old age. We know, too that only by making the farm busi- ness a paying business—comparing well with oth- ers in showing on the ledger as well as in beauty of pLipcare Sao we hope to keep the boys and girls on e farm. By this reorganization which Secretary Wallace has made in the department of agriculture, he has added another distinguished service to the already long line of those which the Republican adininis- tration has been able to do for agriculture.* “She’s Rarin’ Newt” N EWTON BAKER ought to thank his lucky star +" for what the Encyclopedia Britannica omitted to say about his record, and let it go at that. He was ever foolish, however, and if the can -get any satisfaction out of a revival of the history of the most incompetent and wateful administration of any department of government since its founda- tion,‘then he is welcome to reread the story of his jdirection of the war department, from March 7, 1921, 0 To the Spirit of Play Paz. CAPITAL city of the nation is one of the pioneers in the establishment of recreation grounds for children. That city has had remark- able success in its venture in this field and contin- ues to expand and show splendid results in physi- cal health, mental improvement, educational ‘at- tainment, safety and well-being of its rising gener- ation. From a meager beginning twenty-three muni- cipal and twenty-two school playgrounds are main- tained for the use of the children, all under one cap- able head. So successful has Washington been that her fame has spread the world over and her system 1916 to March 4, He intends to find an individual or groupfhas furnished the model for almost every other city in this country engaging in similar activities. The Washington system is an elaborate one, and Casper could not expect anything similar for many years, provided cf course the idea takes root in this city. The most noticeable characteristic of public playgrounds is the spirit of democracy exhibited. It has been said that the greatness of England was won on the cricket fields ut Eton and the great- ness of America on the baseball diamond; and so today the future greatness of this country, at least, is being determined on the public play spaces dedi- cated to the spirit of play. On these public play- grounds, every child has the same opportunity for health and happiness and all are taught to respect the rights of others. note what has transpired in the United States and the rest of the world during the past two years. The league of nations, and the individual mem-! bers thereof, have been conspicuous for their utter} failure to abide by either the spirit or the letter of} the league covenant. Events have been so shaping themselves in Asia Minor that keen observers knew they would inevitably lead to some such catastro-| phe as we are now witnessing, yet no preventive! measure was taken. Bloody exchanges between the| Bolsheviki and neighboring states have been of frequent occurrance, but with no attempt on the part of the league or its members to stop them. Commercial considerations seem to have governed 4 the nations of Europe in all their international af. All differences in social positions melt away in a game of baseball soccer, basketball or other play- ground activity. eye, rapidity of thought and good judgment ima game are the oner sought for in competitive games, and the character of the individual is the quality desired in a player. Children on the playgrounds know ‘only the law of association; all are playfel- lows, without regard to creed or nationality. The spirit of human equality is more pronounced on a playground than any other child welfare in- stitution. he may haye a desire to join on equal footing with his companions, Disputes are soon settled by a \ ! | i | | | | ‘zens. jated | Foreign carriers, enjoy!ng lower op erating costs than American vessels, are rapidly extending thei monopoly over the ocean transportation business of the United States, one in favor of the foreign, as shown by the official figures: Of the 61,000,000 net tong of vesseln which entered United States ports during the fiscal year ended June 30, 30,000,000 were American and 31, 000,000 were fore'gn.
