WHY NOT FIND OUT? There sre several excellent rear| sons why the Reparations bugaboo continues to burden the public mind and the public prints, and seems likely to do so on through the rest of the Twentieth Century Among these reasons let the following be enumerated: (1) There is no unbiased esti- mate, however, sketchy, of the cost of repairing Devastated France. (2) There is no accounting to date on what Germany already has paid. If anybody knows they can have a job in England or France as diplomatic public accountant. (3) There is no reasonable means of estimating what Germany can pay or how much of her assets she is concealing. In place of the impartial state- ment of costs of repairing devasta- tion which the Reparation Commis- sion was supposed to produce we have only the offhand statements of French Ministers. These show costs so high that the figures can not possibly be accepted without question by any fair-minded out- sider. In place of the reliable statement of the amount Germany has already paid which the Reparation Commi: sion ought to furnish we have esti- mates from various partisan sources ranging from two and a half billion dollars to eleven billions. The es- { s vary as to the items which be included and a3 to the s which should be set on the items. , then, surprising that any politician and any propagandist can stand up and assert whatever it suits him to assert and get away with it? BRYAN IS IN AGAIN The president of the Naval com- mittee of the French senate now suggests that all the navies of the world be abolished. He apperently has some support from the French government This will come as an amnetng at- titude on the part of that so dear France when it is recalled that it was the militaristic spirit and irrec- oncilable attitude France that came near disrupting the Naval Limitation Conference in Washing- ton. That England is thoroughly sick of her late ally is shown more plainly every day, and that Ameri- can public sentiment has undergone a very radical change which dates back to the actions of France at the Wash on Conference there is no doubt. There is considerable question regarding the sincerity of France's latest ¢; or at least considerable doubt of its official character, But granting that it has the complete| understanding and support of the French government, what has France to lose by abolishing all the navies of the world? She has noth- ing whatever to lose, and every: thing to gain, Fr today has the most power- ry organization in Europe; keeps it in practice, as the or indicate. She ranks fourth the powers in sce a the navies of | The recent victim of the Republican Bryan in America Nobody would jbe apt to recall Mr. Bryan these days, save as an oratorical memory, were it not for the fact that he bobs |up every so often with a mal- |formed brain child to display. To {merely see a political or economic linsanity is for Mr. Bryan to dash | forth and clasp it to his bosom. To observe a Lost Hope travelling down the road is for Mr. Bryan to sprint after it and climb aboard. Thus again, Mr Bryan. Anent the French suggestion, he loudly de- claims from Miami, Florida, that he hopes the White House instantly will act to accept the proposition. We have no doubt but that Mr. Bryan would go further and urge the United States to begin pulliag the sea plugs out of our battle ships, or selling them for junk, im- mediately. wait for general international | agreement on the subject? Miami, Florida, is a beautiful place. Its weather is balmy—like Mr Bryan. Its air is soft—like Mr. Bryan’s head. Its beaches stretch |away in a limitless waste of sand, dotted with tufts of palm—like clumps of hair growing on a Chau- tauqua cranium, Its close proxim- Why should we even| ity to the wet West Indies (about which Mr. Bryan lately wanted us to reprimand England) makes big bootlegging a thriving business. Yes, Miami, Florida, has tremen- dous attractions. Good liquor is very plentiful there. But, unfortu- nately, Mr. Bryan is very plentiful there, too. LET HOOVER DO IT The recent suggestion of Former Governor Cox of Ohio that Herbert C. Hoover be empowered to audit Germany, as it were, and decide what she can afford to pay in rep- arations seems an excellent one. landslide, who is still picking rocks} and gravel out of himself, has just/ returned from Germany, and he is! convinced that the new fledged Re-| public would accept such an adjust- ment of the reparations situation,| which seem no nearer a_ solution} now than they did while statesmen ‘and politicians were still making magnificent gestures around the council tables of Versailles and| Genoa. Von Helfferich, Wilhelm’s for- mer chancellor, assured Mr. Cox! that Germany would welcome Mr. Hoover as a certified accountant. Mr. Hoover is remembered in | Europe as a cross between a Good Samaritan and an economic genius, and he would therefore be the most likely man today for such a job, in all probability. While Germany might be able to conceal some of} her assets from the sharp eyes of the Secretary, she could hardly con- ceal as much as she is concealing now. | But like many good thoughts, this one is likely to come to naught. The first reason is that nobody is likely to offer Mr. Hoover the po-} sition officially; the second is that he would be unlikely to accept it if offered; and the third is that our firascible “irreconsilables’” in Con- gress would consider it a breach of American etiquette to monkey with the European buzz-saw even to the extent of checking up on Germany. How Senator Johnson himself ac-| counts for his presence in Europe as anything but an “entangling al-| liance” is a mystery to many. If} jour isolation from the world is to} be as austere as “Hell Roaring Hiram” and his associates would have it, why allow U. S. Senators| to rush around Europe collecting over-ripe fruit and aged eggs for juse in coming political campaigns? | Nevertheless, it is good to see that the glacial action of the ava-! lanche in 1920 did not entirely grind jall the ideas from the head of the | Hon. James Cox. It begins to appear that every- | body is willing to frame President Harding’s platform except Presi- dent Harding. The Attorney Gen jeral can always retire from politi- |cal life and make a modest stipend jat his home if he hangs cyt a} |shingle reading “Platform Framing Neatly Done.” Chicago agents found some booze hidden in crates of lettuce. They |hide booze everywhere nowadays. Some of it—but not much—is even |hidden in the stuff bootleggers sell for whiskey. From the way politicians _side- step discussion of it, one would think that it might better be called the “open hop” issue.

April 13.—A number of local business men, includ- ing Messrs. Healey, Munz, Mace, R. C. Peck, Conness, Irwin, Sisson and others, made a trip to Rawlins to confer with the county commis- sioners concerning the present impas- sable condition of the highway south from Saratoga, and obtained assur ance from the county board that some measures would be taken to re- lieve the present condition of the highway. Considerable grading up of the center will be necessary and drainage must be provided over a considerable part of the road. It is surmised that one of the county's big grading machines will be put on this work within the next few days. Several of the ranchers along the road have volunteered to give assist: ance on the highway in the neighbor hood of their lands, and it is expected thet with the county assisting a great deal of improvement can be made without great expense. ————— Expense Kept Down KEMMERER, Wyo., April 13.—Of the 28 counties in Wyoming, Lincoln county stands next to the bottom in the matter of per capita expenditure | of county government, a remarkable | record, being exceeded in economy by Laramie county. It also stands third from the bottom of the list in the matter of expense per $1,000 of valuation. It cost Lincoln county $8.25 per capita to conduct its affairs in 1922, and Laramie, the lowest, $6.69. In Hot Springs county it cost over $23 per capita. In ail, Lincoln county spent $106,000 last year. tion 1s 12,487. Considering the fact that Lincoln county was one of tho largest in the Its popula. ; state in point of territory and neces sarily expensive to operate because | of {ts many isolated districts, this is a very creditable showing and the officials responsible deserve credit. Laramie Students Elope LARAMIE, Wyo., April 13—Jack Cadden, vocational student at the university and Miss Dora Morgan, oldest. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Morgan of Byers, Colo., were married in Syracuse, Kans., Sunday after a cleverly arranged elopement from the bride's home across the Colorado line. The couple anticipated objections from the parents of the bride, so ar- ranged the elopement.

The train was moving slowly, per- haps 15 miles an hour as it ap- proached a sharp curve, and Holly, who was making his datly inspection of the track did not hear it approach. The train men did not see the laborer either until he was hurled high in the air. The train was stopped and the injured man picked up and brought to the hospital here. His back and face were badly bruised and he was bleeding profusely though no bones were broken. Re- ports from the hospital indicate that he is getting along very well now. patie dee Anglers Rounded Up CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 13.—For the first time in years state game wardens are rounding up anglers in the Cheyenne district who are fishing without Mcenses.
