The schools of the state were receiving a very comfortable income as it was and it bid fair to continue for a number of years. The coming of outside interests, attracted by the rich- ness and proven character of the territory, to bid for an opportunity to increase their own and the state’s wealth is the cause. ‘The coming of those from a distance has done this for Wyoming—increased her wealth by mil- lions—how inany we dont know, but by many, and that seems good. So it should be with others from abroad, who have enterprise and ambition to develop the state. Welcome them with cordiality and at the same time be fair and just to those who are already here. In the matter of the proposed railroad through north central Wyoming, we should leave no stone unturned to secure it. We should join with our good friends in the north, where a railroad is vi- tal to their development and do all in gad acs to aid the project. Casper’s benefits from such a line have been too well told previously to need repeti- tion. To be afraid of Standard Oil or the Haskell in- terests is childish. We need these men and these corporations with their wealth, enterprise and business ability to build our state great and in- crease our public and private wealth. SS Can He Succeed Himself PRESIDENT, in his first term is by courtesy 44 considered a candidate for renomination, un- less a specific statement to the contrary is made by him. And while there is always time to alter the decision up to the time the convention is called, or even until the convention comes in session, it may always be safely assumed that the first term in- cumbent is a candidate. Therefore the Republican arty is justified in accepting the candidacy of Mr. Harding as a fact. ww the Republican party thinks of Mr. Hard- ing as its candidate for another presidential term is an altogether different matter. The party has not expressed itself. But within the next few months that expression will be forthcoming, for the friends of Mr. Harding have already under- taken to sound Republican opinion. It will not be many months before emissaries will have visited every reliably Republican and doubtful Republican state and made diligent in- quiry among leading party men. This party opin- ion will be carefully analyzed and local party pros- pects canvassed. As a result the friends of Mr. Harding will know a considerable time in advance the attitude of the party. Without this effort, they | will also be aware that the nomination can be en- compassed, almost out of hand, by employment of the power of the administration, by those who Arlington, Va, by A Dangerous Precedent an |department of labor. attempt was made to portray al speak for it, and the influence of the office holding forces who are always reaitets further the inter- ests of the existing regime in order to further their own interests. ‘The whole presidential proposition can be nar- ; rowed down to the fact that Mr. Harding can be nominated for president if he so desires despite | the ambitions of favorite sons who may have more or less following. It is entirely too early to know whether or not Mr. Harding will haye opposition. Opinion at this time has not been expressed, although there are hints that he will--something more than the us- ual favorite son program of compliment. No party criticism of Mr. Harding’s adminis- tration has been heard, for in fact, from a strict party standpoint but little criticism could stand. Personal criticism of himself and his acts are out of the question, they have no basis. Of criticism of accomplishment under the ad- ministration, or rather of failure of accomplish- ment more is heard. Things hoped for have not been realized in some es. The impossibility, in the face of the monumental job inherited by the administraation, to do the things which people de- sired, in the brief time that has elapsed, is not taken into consideration. Nor whether the things desired were advisable or inadvisable for the pub- lic interest. Therefore in this feature, if anything is held against the. chief executive, it is failure to do the impossible. There is one other matter, and it is an old party question from the day of Roosevelt, carried on to greater or less extent in party matters, by his for- mer followers, and that is party policy and govern- mental policy toward legislation and public ques- tions that arise from time to time. The attitude to be taken toward extremes. Whether the party should remain true to its traditions of sane gov- ernment of progress and advance with caution and safety, profiting by experience, or to embark upon the sea of experiment and the untried, even if at- tractive and promising of popularity. It is the old question of conservatism and radicalism in what- ever modified form followers choose to label it. This question was very pertinent in 1912, had not entirely disappeared in 1916, but was forgotten en- tirely in 1920. The circumstance of being out of power ir 1916 and 1920 had a large influence in its suppression. Now that the Republican party is back in control of the government the question na- turally returns. How ‘troublesome it will become, the future must determine. It would seem however that the Republican par- ty is sufficiently progressive to please almost its entire membership. The party surely does not hope to please the extremists. The radicals have so walked off with the thunder of the old Progres- sives of 1912 and 1916 as to make them appear rank conservatives at this date, Surely men who fol- lowed Rooseyelt and adhered to his views cannot subscribe to the policies advocated by those who have appropriated the Prograssive label and as- sume to inherit the things that were Roosevelt. The president is set down as a conservative. He is a conservative when mentioned in the same breath with Borah, Johnson, LaFollette and Brook- hart. But he is not a conservative of the reaction- ary type as followers of these men would have the public understand. But it matters little in a presi- dential shakedown in what particular light some of these extremists regard the president. The availability of Mr. Harding as a winner will be the practical question that will come be- fore the party, and the one, which, from a stand- point of success is to be determined. That will be fully determined within the ensuing few months. When itis all said and done the matter resolves itself thus—Mr. Harding can be nominated, can he be elected? Shattering the Machine HE political machine not founded upon honor and decency may prosper for a time, but soon- er or later it comes to grief. They all have. There is the Thompson machine in Chicago. It came into being on a reform wave, because the machine it dis- placed was rotten. It was hailed as the purifier and savior of a great city. Once entrenched in pow- er and in command of an army of employes, hang- ers-on interests, and influences, mostly bad, it could not be dislodged. It pandered to all the evil forces back of the scenes while wearing the cloak of de- cency in the public view. It carried out, time and again, the outward semblance of moral cleanup and curbing of crime, but the power vested in the municipal administration was never exerted offect- ively, determination in the direction of right and righteousness did not appear. In a city of the magnitude of Chicago the peo ple are a long time finding out the truth. But few come in actual contact with the administration. It has a sort of mysterious existence and is far re- moved from the average citizen. It is always credited with greater power and resources than it actually possesses. The people, collectively, do not realize how simple a matter it is to drive an unworthy administration fro mpower, by compet- ent leadership and united action. This always arises when a regime reaches a putrid state and the people can no longer bear the smell. One difficulty in dislodging the so-called Thomp- son-Lundin machine was that it was allied with a state machine that exerted the same power through- out the commonwealth, that the municipal machine did within the city. Such alliance made for great- er power to both. After repeated trials the elements of good tri- umphed over the elements of evil and the Thomp- son political machine has been driven from the high places. The necessity for organization and association of those who desire to accomplish the public good is recognized, but organization for the direct purpose of encompassing and encouraging evil must be op- posed, and for the reason that the people do not know is the only reason and the excuse for the development of such institutions as has cursed pub- lic affairs in Chicago for so many years. There is hope, always, in a new order of things and the better element of Chicago has high hopes for the future. Tt would seem that sincere and honest effort to curb crime and evil and conduct a reasonably mor- al community, would not be among the impossib- ilities. The great city of Chicago does not de- serve to become a by-word throughout the land.

Box Office Moose Auditorium masts and smokestacks with the in- significant exception of a pole for the wireless, one of the last of boyhood's pet admirations will have been changed almost beyond recognition. Boyhood’s pet admirations used to include a ship with many funnels and masts, a locomotive built like a greyhound with a chimney that stuck up saucily in front, and a stagecoach or carryall drawn by four spanking horses with the stimulating ald of a whip. Some of the most eminent of New Yorkers, pillars of commerce and so- ciety, cherished a boyhood ambition to be captain of such a ship, engineer of such a locomotive or driver of such a stage. And they can testify to the melancholy fact that ships, locomotives and stages are not what they used to be. In earliest boyhood the masts of Atlantic liners were square rigged and carried sails when the wind was favorable. Also both masts and fun- nels were rakish. A multiplicity of masts was more important in our boyish judgment than a multiplicity of funnels. Four masts and increase of smokestacks ideal of a floating palace, although we may have longed for a re crudescehce of the Great Eastern, with her glorious seven masts and five chimneys and her enshrinement of immortality in a novel of Jules Verne. In later Ife we managed to re- conelle ourselves to the decrease of masts and increase of smokestacks that marked the evolution of the At lantic liner, although we may have inwardly chafed at the {conoclasm of marine architects in stripping the liner of all its romance of shrouds, crow’s nests and snowy, snapping can Remember the Gulon liners that used to break records from Liverpool to Sandy Hook, with every stitch of canvas drawing and the old single propeller stirring up the salt At lantic for all it was worth? Not many of the famous old liners are still afloat. They burned so much coal that when eclipsed by the swift passenger trade their most eco nomical resort was the scrap heap. Vanished {s the graceful Etruria. which captured all the speed laurels of the Atlantic in the eighties and carried all the@ celebrities of that period. And her sister Cunarder, the Umbria, is seen no more forever in the ports of the world. They and the old, reliable Servia, the firet of steel vessels to cross the Atlantic, continued carrying passengers for a decade or two after they had been eclipsed by bigger and faster boats, ——————— go the lights and you know something is wrong somewhere between them and the power house.

JAY, County Assessor, More than one third of all raw materials required to manufacture portland cement vanishes in the manufacturing process. This isexclusive of thevast fuel consumption, which averages about 200 pounds of coal, or its equivalent, to the barrel. Last year cement plants in the United States pro- duced 113,870,000 barrels of cement. This output re- quired the quarrying or mining and transportatien, drying, grinding and burn- ing of 35,000,000 tons of raw materials. Of this huge total, 13,500,000 tons which started on their jyurney through the mills never reached the cement sack. Many conservation methods and devices are in use in the industry. Yet the inevitable losses, due to transformation of materials under the intense heat in the kilns, total well over a third of all raw ma- terials that go into the plant. A cement plant covers acres of full of crushing, grinding, elevat- ing and conveying machinery and huge storage bins for raw mate- tials and finished cement. But it is in the burning zone of the great rotary kilns—a space 30 pi dein lth Peaeetes 2 ameter —that the greater portion of these millions of tons is lost. long been carrying on scientific studies to reduce the cost of waste.
