Promises and Performances. IS EASIER to make good promises than it is |” to make promises good. ter let this chunk of wisdom sink in just ns deep as it will. It is a rule that will not work both ways without you put some steam on the other end of it, It is an incontrovertable argument in favor of knowing exactly what you are doing when you give your word. It is the same kind of an argument in the interest of your honor. It is the cornerstone of your business and so- cial integrity. Make few promises but make them good by per- formence. You get no where by scattering your promises over a vast territory. The harvest you reap with such a sowing yields no good grain. Your granery is filled with tares in the time of your need. Promise, yes, but promise sparingly, and only what you know you are able to fulfill, Hold every promise sacred.| Redeem ft as re- Jigiously as though it was secured by your right rm or eye and Shylock held the pledge. ‘It is the only way. Your promise is your honor, If you lose it you have little or nothing to go on. When your performances dovetail with your pledges you stand upright in the presence of all men. You look ticm squarely in the eye. You fear mone of them and they all honor you. Your con- science is undisturbed, your sleep is peaceful and refreshing and the troubles that come to you are mot of your own making. Secure the Assets. 2 WORK Of caring for the sick and disabled {1 service men, the great aftersvar problem, is no longer a problem. It is being accomplished through the Veterans’ Bureau in the most satis- factory manner. It is so because the administra- tion and details have been kept out of politics. The great service done by the bureau in its edu- cational features in finding the proper niche in Ufe for the disabled and fitting them into it is a Work never attempted before in humanitarianism. As a people we abhor war. We regret the sad re- sults of it. We are doing our utmost to repair the damages wrought by it. We want no more war if we can honorably prevent it. But let us hope that we have not become foolishly pacific. Because the great not want war, there is no reason to become silly in our hatred of it, and negiect to provide the neces- sary insurance inst it, and strengthening. our- selves for it. We should proceed with the perfec- tion of everything concerned with the art and scicnce of war, for the rest of the world does not hold our exact view. The best defense is the secur- ity of a good offense. “Lives are needlessly sacrificed in war through ignoranc know how to oppose the war machinery employed By opponents. In brief, they must be trained and Skilled in the thing they are doing. No men on @arth are the equal of Americans in courage. When that courage is needed let us hope that we have ready backed it up with the physique and the preparation that go with it. Let us have the national assets whether required or not. pe Se. o eee Call It What You Please. HOPLIFTING—has an ugly sound. It is an ugly practice. Jt is simply another name for taking things from stores while the merchant and his clerks are not looking. In short it is stealing, and no softer name or nickname can disguise the eold fact. Yet much as you will be surprised, per- sons caught in the act resent being called thief. They don't seem to mind it so much when they are called kleptomaniac, they think it rather excuses} them, because under that name, people are sup- posed to have an uncontrollable desire to take from others what their fancy may desire. There is too.much hokum in this kleptomaniac stuff to suit the person suffering the loss of his ods. He takes less stock in it than anybody els Te don’t call it by fancy mes. He stealing. And he gets peevish when i him. You may not be aware, for it is unlikely to come to your notice, that Casper merchants and dealers have suffered the loss of thousands of dollars’ worth of goods since the beginning of holiday sea- son. Now the kleptomaniac is a rare bird, one in ag number. What must all the rest be to have gotten away with so many valuable goods? At best, in Casper’s population, giving the alien ists their own way with reference to the existence S sure it is happens to American nation does! nd lack of training. Men should know! Tow to approach enemy entrenchments, They must » not within reason that this limited number could havo lifted the great loss sustained by the mer. chants | Therefore, while we blush ‘to say it, this com jmunity is infested by a fairsized number of pet- |ty thieves. People who are in no senso compelled |to steal because they are cold or hungry, but peo ple obviously deficient in morality and common honesty. Who lack the earlier teaching of res- pect for property. Who view the belongings of ‘others as fair loot if it can be gotten away with,| without the owner’s cognizance. | Call it anything you please, but appropriating’ jthe goods and chattles of others to your own use, \and profit is simply stealing. | | j So rank has become the practice in Casper that the retail business interests have been compelled | to take measures for their own protection and a/ |mumber of persons caught dead to rights hare been | | made to disgorge and others. have been turned over | ,to the police, while still others, suspected, are un-| der surveillance. Kiting Checks. ee YULETIDE has brought out the check- writer—the one who uses the short form. Who writes them against a credit that docs not exist and knows it at the time. He is a most troublesome per- son and deserves tw get into more serious difficulty than merely the loss of bauk standing and the confidence of ‘the recipient of the worthless paper. The person who springs a no-good check, ought to know and does know, that he will be caught when the next business day begins. Then why does he do it? | | Would not his standing with the person to whom an obligaticu is owing, be enhanced, by a plain |honest acknowledgment, “i can't pay you today, for 1 haven't got the money; but 1 will rustle it and be at your piace of business at 10:47 o'clock with it tomorrow.” And then make good. Isn't that kind of a sportsman a person more worthy of trust jand further credit, than he who signs a check with \f grand flourish and hands it to you with a still Brander one, fully aware at the time that you can’t \get a thin dime on it? The city is flooded with worthlesy paper, much of it a total loss to the holders of it. Just what can or will be done so long as in- terested parties show no inclination to call check- writers to a legal account, no one knows. Banks are not sufferers or losers in these transactions nor are they in any sense responsible. The mat- ter is between the check-writer and the person ac- cepting it. If the check writer has no funds in bank the bank simply endorses the fact on the check and returns it to the person depositing it. If there are funds the check is paid, of course; but the bank is not creating an overdraft to accommodate any- body under circumstances like these. Bank funds are trust funds and the officers have a high sense of their responsibility. When it becomes necessary to borrow from a bank, there is a simple business way to do it. What to do with the reckless check writer is a problem largely up to the person accepting the! check, A FARMER las been writing to the president about the fuel shortage. He thinks it due to the fact that the miners work only five days a week and only a few hours a day. What enrages him is that he himself works from twelve to fourteen hours a day through nine months in the year, has no Savirday half holiday and cannot rest even on Sunday. This farmer was not lucky in selecting the coal miners with whom to compare himself, for they claim, and if not always with truth, often enough to give the claim some support, that the brevity of their labors is the result not of disinclination to work, bet of lack of enough employment in the mines. ‘he farmer forgot, too, that he works for himself, which makes a: big difference. With all due allowance made, however, his griev- ance is real to the extent that his labor is exces- sively. prolonged and that it brings him inadequate returns. He is right, too, in thinking that if a lot of other people did not increase the cost of what he has to.buy by decreasing their deficiency, he would not be so hard driven to make a poor living. But he might have asked himself if his day was | from sunrise till sunset from altruistic reasons— for the sake of other people, that is—or merely under a compulsion from which he would escape if the could—from which, as a matter of fact, he and his kind are doing their best to escape and doing it without showing quite the tenderest of regard for the interests of other folk. Lost Illusions. N A PERIODICAL that was formerly somewhat friendly to the ledgue Of nations’ idea we find is assertion: “America has been absolutely right in keeping out of foreign affairs under the con- litions and leadership that have prevailed since the armistice.” The editorial from which this is quoted war very appropriately entitled, “Lost Ilu- sions.” Fortunately for the United States, the Re- publicans in the Senate did not have any illusions when the league question was presented in 1919. They went squarely on record in opposition to the United States joining the league, and defeated the Wilson proposal that this country make the “su- preme sacrifice.” America has been not only right but far-seeing in avoiding entanglements with con- ditions and leadership that would certainly have made the United States, the burden bearer and scapegoat of the world. Cock Your Ear. | JQRICK ARE on the free list under the new Re: publican tariff law, and they have gone up $1.00 a thousand in price in New York. Pretty soon you will hear some loud-mouthed Democrat} declaiming that the price of brick has risen because | of the Republican tariff,..and the people are mulcted to pay tribute to the brick trust, wherever “| that is. | ‘Always Ready for More. | A CERTAIN government commission in.
