And when you find people claim- ing and credited with a fair measure of human in- telligence taking stock in claims presented by still other people that seem out of all reason, contrary to all rules accepted and applied, what are you going to do? Get shocked all over again? Mostly these proposals and claims are unworthy of investigation. The simple rules of common sense tell you in advance of the impossibility of the thing, although certain enthusiasts maintain that nothing is impossible. To show you exactly what we mean we have in mind a woman who says she can produce pic- tures merely by the exercise of mental powers, directed at a piece of paper, a blank wall, a barn door, the kitchen floor—whatever, in short, upon which she concentrates her attention. It is purely a guestion of fact, not one of opin- fon, whether she can perform this fact. But there are many who believe she can and does. There would be but one remote danger in a positive assertion that the lady’s pretentions are absurd. Imagination sufficiently vivid, supplemented by a sufficient love of the mystical is able to see a picture in any chance arrangement of large and small dots and straight and curved lines. The ancient astronomers saw the sky marked off by the arratgements of the stars, out of which were clear- ly visible to the credulous, an interesting collec- tion of animals, heroes and gods. So, also in the later day, even in our own pres- ent, if you have the vision and the imagination and apply them to certain portraiture known as eubist art and other forms of artistic expression, you can seo pictures. But at the same time it is a terrific strain upon truth and credulity. Far be it from us to say the lady in question is a| fakir. Far be it again, to intimate that her claims are fantastic, that her spectacles are gummed up, that she is simply “seeing things.” But so far as we are concerned we shall continue to look at pictures with our eyes and such under standing as we are blessed with, and not through anybody else's imagination. We find there is more to a picture seen in the old-fashioned way- More to the tangibility of substance than to the fancifulness of shadows sate SS Ee A Remarkable Record NONSIDERABLE simplification in / has been noted as well as reduction in taxes since the advent of the present administration. Of course, this is a fulfillment of platform pledges dating 1020. The promise made read like this: “But sound policy equally demand the early ac- complishment of that r reduction of the tax burden which may be achieved b substituting simple for plex laws and procedure; we advo cate the anee of a simplified form of income return.” There is room, as all agree, for further. improve- ment in simplifying collection, and with that in view, the treasury has begun a study of adminis- tration provis sented for a when the taken That ms, the result of which will be pre- propriate action in the next congress, sion of the revenue laws is under re that the Republicans ax revision next session, rtion of the 1920 plank the substitution of ion of the tax lia tax laws which do excessively mulct the repress enterprise and determi and uncertain which do, eedlessly ;*| cratic control. Preceding this plank in the Republican platform Neighborhood News. the document reads: “The best preparation for the grave task which will confront the treasury in 1923 is a preceding record of debt extinguishment, ample provision for! a sinking fund, and the assurance of current re-} ceipts sufficient or more than sufficient to meet | current expenditures.” | Budget economy, supported by appropriate legis- lation, and the wizardry of the treasury depart- ment have achieved that record. Since August 31,| | 1919, when the war debt was at its peak, the na-| tional debt has been reduced something over $3,000,000,000. Appropriations for the fiscal year | | 1924 include $345,000,000 for the sinking fund. Total} | appropriations for 1924 were $234,000,000 less than! for 1923, and $2,748,000,000 less than those made! in the Sixty-fifth Congress (1920) under Demo-| We entered the present fiscal year) beginning July 1, 1922, with the prospect of a de-, ficit of nearly $700,000,000.

There were indications that even this de- jficit would be wiped ont by June 80, but in the| | meantime the government has been burdened with| | obligations of about $70,000,000 on account of | taxes improperly collected by the former Demo-| cratic administration, on which refund must be | made. Considered in every respect the present }administration has chalked up a remarkable | record. on | Disproving Theories | PARADOXICAL as it may seem, the fact is that the export trade of the United States increases | | under a protective tariff. Directly a protective | | tariff has nothing whatever to do with exports, for! | the tariff is imposed only on imports. The consti-' tution forbids a duty on exports. be] Theoretically, a protective riff would tend to decrease our export trade. The Democratic party {has adopted that theory, which sounds plausible, but ignores history. When the tariff measure was under discussion, Democrats in congress and Dem-, ocrats in editorial sanctums declared persistently | | that the enactment of the law would decrease our | purchases from abroad and thereby decrease the power of other nations to buy from us, with the Daily Cribune sav! pao!

Perhaps one explanation for this rather remark- able phenomenon in foreign trade may be ex- pressed by the old saying, “Them that has, gets.” All the world likes to deal with a prosperous dealer. ‘That is true of individuals and true of ional trade.

All these factors tend to enhance our foreign sales at the same time that, theoretical- ly, we are checking our imports by the establish- ment of a higher rate of import duty. Thus far,} under the new tariff Iuw we have not decreased our| imports although we have prevented competition| from abroad that would haye been ruinous to our; own producers. In the first year after the passage of the Mc- Kinley bill, our exports of merchandise increased from $884,000,000 to $1,030,000,000. In the first year after the enactment of the Dingley bill, our exports increased from $1,050,000,000 to $1,231,000,000- In| the first year after the enactment of the Payne- Aldrich bill our exports increased @om $1,744,- 000,000 to $2,040,000,000. Our presei# increased exports under the Fordney law are what might reasonably be expected by students of economic history. They utterly confute the predictions made by the opponents of the protective system and of the law as passed, Those who were misled in the! last congressional campaign into voting against candidates having tariff protection convictions may now exercise their handsight since they failed to exercixe their foresight at the appropriate time. Liye Es | | Convicting Women wet do you suppose has come over the Amer-| n jury system? That ancient institution of justice that is supposed to give every man and woman a chance for 1 white alley. That collec- tion of twelve good and true peers or peeresses that assume innocence until guilt is established? The reason for the inquiry is that because of late days several women have been found guilty in accordance with the facts of testimony and the ls Is it possible, that in all the murder cases that have preceded these particular ones, | that the testimony has been insufficient, that there have been flaws in all the thousands of like cases | heretofore? That prosecuting officers have been inefficient up to now? That juries were unable to comprehend guilt when it was placed’ plainly be fore their eyes? That juries could be guided by| any other motive than exact and even-handed jus- tice and vindication of the law? Something has evidently been wrong before, or is wrong now, if juries have set out to convict women of murder. It has been so rare a thing in the past aa to cause astonishment now. Not that we have any- thing more against women criminals than has the law. But while men murderers jauntily went to the gallows for their crimes, women under similar situations were loaded with flowers and went into the movies. It looked more like unjust discrimi nation than justice, | It is an awful thing to hang a man; and it has seemed so much more terrible to hang a woman that none of it has been done. Since laws are made for the protection and well- being of society, and laws clearly,say that punish- ment of certain kinds shall be inflicted upon those} guilty of certain offenses, as much for the example| and the deterrent effect upon others, as for the immediate remoyal of offenders from the scene of | | activity and 1arding against repetition, why should there be any mination in the minds of jurymen in a matter of sex?” as dis | doze to date. dignities; non-support, coming second and desertion third.

The Dog Poisoner JACKSON.—From the talk heard about town, it would not go very well with the person or persons who are polsoning dogs, if their identity be- comes known. So far none of the horde of worthless mougreis and curs about Jackson have “kicked off.” They seem to enjoy some form of immunity from the deadly poison be- tng scattered about. Only valuable, licensed dogs have picked up the fatal B. 4H. Hopson, while spending a few days in Jackson, lost his dog. Poisoned.

D. Fisher, sec- retary. Location work, erection of sign posts and the establishment of {nfor- mation bureaus and rest houses on the proposed extension would cost the Hiway about $10,000, Mr. Fisher estl- mates. On the proposed extension the Hiway would branch off at Hawarden to Storm Lake, thence to Fort Dodge, Iowa Falls, Waterloo, Dubuque, Free- port, Rockford and on to Chicago. This route will give the Custer Hiway connection with the great transcontinental motor roade that meet In Chicago.

No State Fair DOUGLAS — Secretary Otto H. Bolin of the Wyoming State Fair re- turned from a trip to Cheyenne, where he took up matters concerning the institution with the members of the State Board of Charities and Re form. He declares that the boaré seems to have washed its hands of the state fair inasmuch ag the last legislature provided that on and after April 1, 1923, the fair should be un-| Ger the supervision of the newly created state board of agriculture. In conference with the members of the board Mr, Bolln learned that there will be but a small amount cf money with which to run the fair this year, probably between $5,000 and $7,000. He also learned that 1 For sale at all dealers FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1923. is Governor Ross’ opinion that Con. verse county should come across with the necessary amount to Insure the success of the fair. It !s doubt. ful if there will be a state fair hero in the future, at any rate there can ndt be an exposition worthy of the name state fair on the amount of money appropriated for the purpose by the last legislature. Spring Court Term DOUGLAS—The spring term of the district court will convene in Doug- las on Monday, April 2, and the doo- ket {s an unusually large one. There aro twelve criminal cases to come up for Cisposition before Judge C. 0. Brown, and the majority of the ar- raignments were on charges of boot- legging. Juries will also be required on four or five of the civil cases during the term. The jury was drawn a week go and jurymen have been notified on the opening day.

This transfer places a branch of one of the largest build- ing material companies in the west in this city. The principal stockholder of the. Overland Lumber company is George E. Merrill, with whom many business men in this city are well acquainted. He was born and raised in Wyoming and has for years been prominently identified’ with lumber operations in the inter-mountain west.

The youngster, a sixth grade stu dent at the Coffeen school, played hookey yesterday morning, but re turned home for lunch at noon, In the afternoon she left presumably for school, but caught the freight and rode the bumpers in true Knight of the Road style for 38 miles. En route home, the little adven- turer laughed and chatted with the detective and merrily recounted her experiences on the trip.

Hungarian Partridges SHERIDAN—The 25 pair of Hun- garian partridges purchase: by the Sheridan Rod and Gun club arrived and were liberated. During the morning they were displayed in the window of the KibbenCapper Hard- ware store. These partridges, which are sai to be the first of their kind intro- duced in this state, were purchase by the club at a cost of $300. It is belleved that within four five years they will be plentiful enough to allow the ban agains shooting them to be lifted.
