THE SQUAREST CITY z 2° Zz 3 w & z IN THE SQUAREST STATE Filling Illustrious Shoes QUESTION is, is William ©. Deming, of the Cheyenne Tribune to be cormmiserated or congratulated as a member of the federal civil service commission? Of course, if a man desires to abandon the quiet of an editorial sanctum, with all the power, privi- leges, honor, emoluments and other things apper- taining, to engage in holding examinations in alge- bra, vulgar fractions, grammar, orthography, anda lot of other useless learning, neither pertinent nor relevant to the holding of government jobs, we sup- pose that is his own business. William will learn that it is not a popular eccupation when he comes in contact with the peopie who want jobs and tho believers in the theory of government—to the victors belong the spoils. It is a whole lot different from exanuning 4& Unotype operator, just arrived, as to where he last lavored im the great art, and how many lines he can produce in eight hours, aud whether he dallies with the festive hooch.

Claiming to speak with the authority of a man who has lived on a desert island or islands, the} author declares both these assumptions false —that existence in such a place necessitates the giving of nearly constant attention to the task of getting enough, or more often, something, to eat, and that little if any time is left for the reading of | noble and edifying books. | This seems highly plausible except, perhaps, as/| regards the very best and most kindly of desert ishands, but the arguinent Js rather spoiled when the critic of previous aters of the question goes on to say that whut the desert islander would want ~—and would read—would be bocks of the sort en joyed by the tired business man—books light in quality and of the kind called “exciting.” Obvious- jy the islander would have no more time for Hter- ary ephemerals than for literary permanencies,| and if none for the latter, then none for the former, With the general tenor of the writer, however, one—if sufficiently Philistine—can cordially agree. The list of books suggested, of the monumental sort were rather trying, and more than one onght to have said so. wk BEL i ea ET Give Them the Truth TMIRECTOR. Sir ish Museum, “Promoting cl and English friendships Frederick Kenyon, of the Brit ha recently remarked: between merely an workere le relation American affalr of but has bet é | ciation of nation-wide membership to expedite re- | plete. His life’s motto was “live intensely and die | argument. | steam power, they seek music and wisdom where real bearing on the welfare and future history of our two countries, “Errors in the teaching of English history in America and American history in England are} the cause of much misunderstanding. History should be taught fully and without prejudice to promate better understanding between |the two peoples.” Sir Frederick has thus let some light shine on one of the most peculiar kinks of the human mind. In olden times it was a matter of life or death to disagree with a king. If he said it was raining, even though the sun shone, his courtiers agreed with him. If he said black was white his people agreed, lnowing that their eyes might be put out if they didn’t “see” as he sak. We laught at such blind subservience but some of us have no hesitation in trying to make others see things as they are not, if it happens to fit in with our political or sociolog- ical or patriotic ideas, Hence we have German his- tories telling German children that Germany was an abused and invaded country in the World War. Tlence we have school histories in this coun- try which belittle Washington and the Revolution Hence we have school histories which assign a! religious cause to many political actions. School children believe what they are taught, not because they “fear the king,” but because they have no better light. Sir Frederick is right when he deplores unhistoric “histories” as fomenting trouble between English spenkir:y peoples, but he| might go much further and deplore untruthful “his. tories” as making trouble for the citizens of h own, or this country. The ostrich hides its head in the sand and fan- cies itself safe. The warped mind alters fact: in “histories” and believes a great purpose has} been accomplished. The careless taxpayer and indif- ferent parent accept any old book to be used in the! schools, and American children of today who are} American citizens of tomorrow suffer! Reforming From Within ¥ EMBERS of the legal profession and judges | of courts have, upon many occasions in re cent years acknowledged thal something was amiss with the profession. Bar and judicial association have through investigations and inquiries sought’ to establish the real cause for complaint against | the present functioning of the law and the courts.| Elaborate reports and opinions on necessary re-| forms have from time to time been made, in which such men as William H. Taft and Elihu Root) have participated. Reforms and modifications of| practice in so long established a branch of govern- ment as the judiciary are necessarily of slow} growth. Now, there has just been formed another asso- forms which all agree are necessary to bring back the judiciary and the legal profession to their former high place in the esteem of the people. This association states its objects to be “to pro mote the clarification and simplification of the law and its better adaptation to special needs, nd to secure the better administration of justice, and to encourage and carry on scholarly and scien- tific legal work.” General Dawes, former director of the budget,! says the country is tired of rule by organized min- orities which thwart the will of the unorganized majority. Bishop Thomas F. Gailor' of Tennessee, lays at the door of the “reformer” much of the disres- pect of law, of which the country complains, and says that laws which restrict personal freedom and make crimes of natural acts cause contempt of courts. a When the lawyer, the layman and the church- man J] agree that something is awry in our legal structure, something probably is! Evidently some- thing is wrong! One person’s view is as good as another's as to what; but there is a decided undercurrent of be- lief in many quarters that one of our troubles, if not the cause of all our 1 egal stangles, is too much law; too much adding statute to statute; regulation to regulation, practice to practice, with- out any clearing out of the dead wood of old and worn-cut ideas. There are many who say that much legal trouble is caused by lawyers; there is too much reverence for tradition and precedent, and not enough com- mon sense, and therefore not enough expedition in law processes. It is comforting that lawyers and judges them- selves take the initiative. That they may have the vision to call to their aid some common sense viewpoints from laymen, churchmen and others for whom the laws are made, is devoutly to be hoped. we a “Live Intensely, Die Swiftly” COASTONALLY there arises a man out of pol- itical party environment who is so much bigger and better than party that he reflects credit upon the organization and adds respectability to it. Bourke Cockran was such a man. He was a Demo- erat, but a high minded one and broad enough to decline to support party men or measures when they did not stand four square. He was a Tam- many member but an honorable and upright one. In his long and active public career of more than forty years, he was the friend of humanity, up- holder of the right, defender of the weak and helpless. He was beloved by all political party men, by all religious sects. Jew and Gentile, Catholic and Protestant alike honored him. He was a friend of Ireland, his birthplace and no man or woman doubted his Americanism on that account. He was a great lawyer, a great orator and a great states- man. He was a great citizen because he obeyed the laws, and led others to that same pathway, He omitted no opportunity to do a kindly act, nor support a. good cause. His life was full and com- swiftly.” He fulfilled it. He was an ornament to American public life and his going leaves a void that can never be filled ee taey. A A PR Swiping the Slogan ‘6 DROGRESSIVE” salt will finally lose its sayor but at present almost any leather-lunged bel- lows with the assets of swivel-hung jaw and alli- gator hide, proposing to change governmental func- tions in twenty-four hours or processes of business in fifteen minutes can establish himself in public opinion if he but appropriate the “progressive” label. He howls “reactionary” at everybody else who stop to point out the fallacies of his{ His noise attracts a following as doe: the circus calliope, and when they tire of jazz, by such things originate without the hullabaloo. No one finally cares to go into business with patiner whose capital is wind, shoestrings and n checks. Progressivelsm is fine in itself and many earnest and honest people travel under that banner, but so very often a days the banner and label is stolen a ra and misused that even progressives find themselves traveling in company with anarchists, outlaws, Reds, and Bolsheviks. | A new and more truthful label must be sought| by real progressives, Che Casper Daily Cribune The Little Scorpions Club.

Indeed, the announcement of Lady Ursula Grosvenor, daughter of the Duke of Westminster, that she is bethrothed to Jack Anthony, an Eng- lish steeplechase jockey of rewnown, is tha climax of a series of affairs! of the heart of which the lucky heroes have managed, as Shakespeare put it, to “witch the world with noble horsemanship.” Or if they haven't exactly witched the world they've witched some wo- man in ft, There's Max Oser, for tn- stance, 2 mature and serious Swiss| riding master who has won the heart of the Chicago heiress, Mathilde McCormick, the seventeen-year-old granddaughter of John D. Rocke- feller. And there's that dashing horseman, Count Calvi di Bergolo, who while doing equestrian stunts at an international military tournament captured the maiden fancy of Princess Yolanda of Italy. And captured {t so thoroughly that the King and Queen of Italy an- nounced a few weeks ago their con- sent to the engagement of thelr love- ly eldest daughter to the gallant cavalier of her choice. Whereat the nation, which has a strong affection for its royal family, rejoiced greatly over the romance—a thoroughly Itallan romance, for the Princess Yo- landa could easily pass for Juliet and the Count would make an admirable Romeo. Those radiant lovers might never have met had not the noble horse brought them together. Rumor had recklessly affianced the Princess to the Prince of Wales and other bachelor royalties, but she was fancy free before attending the military tournament and losing her heart to the handsome Itallan cavalryman, whose exploits on the tanbark| brought thunders of applause from the critical. | Horsemanship has been 2 criterion| of the English since the earliest times.

Men on foot didn't have much chance to win hearts in those days, for most of the maidens were Mathilde McCormicks, with admiring eyes for the man on horseback. Queen Elizabeth was a fine horse- man and made a great stir in et street when she rode in state F | to St. Paul's. The Italian school of horsemanship developed supremacy in the sixteenth century.
