Another addition to Wyoming journalism makes its appearance with the receipt of the “Wyoming Reporter,” published at Rawlins. The Tribune is perhaps a trifle late in acknowledging this new col- league, and welcoming it to the fold of the Fourth Estate; but the shame- ful truth is that the paper got lost on the exchange table until yester- day. The Reporter {s published by George A. Deaton, who has long been known in Wyoming. Without claiming the dubious distinction of being a judge of new-born papers, the Tribune wishes to go on record a@s saying that this journalistic in- fant looks lusty and should cause its sponsors in baptism very little trouble—as little as any newspaper ever causes any publisher, which is plenty. It is also to be hoped the Reporter will yell lustily for the “Right”’—the Right always being the way we sec it. MIDDLEMAN MEDDLING The “middleman” is at the source of the agricultural difficulty in this country today; of that there can be little doubt. He is an economic parasite, and considerable of a drug on the market, This has been point- ed out before often enough, and the Dearborn Independent—the only thing turned out by Henry Ford which can not be definitely classed as a flivver—speaks on the subject ely, to this effect: “Up in the northwest where the railroad rates seem to bear hardest —because on farm products the re- ceiver so seldom pays the freight as he does on almost everything else— it is a familiar story that a farmer may often find after shipping and selling his stuff that he is still out of pocket for the freight. “Most of those stories, however, sre merely something we read. “There came into the office last mveek « lumberman from Oregon who showed by his papers that it cost 09 to ship $425 worth of That rth of lumber be- Good for 2 ¢ 21 FREE FREE VOTING COUPON IN THE TRIBUNE “EVERYBODY WINS” GRAND PRIZE CAMPAIGN VOTES to the credit of Miss, clipped out, name a traveling’ when sold a after and would have to pay, of course, profit on the whole $824. Other papers showed that an $800 car of lumber shipped to Phil- a delphia ate up $816 in freight, compelling the Philadelphia home builder to pay profit on at least $1,616 for $800 worth of lumber. Stanton, Michigan, farmer sold his potatoes for 25 cents a bushel. It o red to him to do a little practical work in_ political economy, s0 he wrote a little note and deftly inserted it with a plug into a potato, The note read: “I get 25 cents a bushel for these po- tatoes. How much did you give?” A woman in Pennsylvania found the note while peeling potatoes for din- ner. She had paid 30 cents a peck. That is, 25 cents worth of potatoes became worth $1.20 while going a day’s journey by railroad. j “These are facts which may take on many different colors under the treatment of the experts. But no amount of expertness can expunge the facts of the farmer is underpaid and the wor! ’s family over charged.

Ex- tend farming and industry univers- ally and you have wealth. tend this kind of middleman universally and you have nothing.” | A STANDING INDICTMENT | It is no great surprise to the| country at large to find the eal of the men indicted in connection with the Herrin massacre resulting | in an acquittal | It was not a question of unionism | or non-union’sm in the Herrin case It minute union and non-union men) were murdered in battles which] | were a commentary on the state of) |Iilinois. The blot on Illinois still; |stands, almost as much of a blot |if no indictments had ever been r turned. Prosecution offic in | Williamson county gave out ut- |terances remarkably frank, chief of | which was the statement of D’s- trict Attorney Middlekauff that | “justice could not be obtained in the |county.” Counsel for the defense ng the jury for its “bravery” in deciding the case on its merit, and wandering off into a wholly irrevelant recitation of some of the hideous facts which} occurred prior to the killing of the| armed guards. t does not make any difference jto the rest of the country what the defense and prosecution says of each other, or of the trial. The fact | responded in kind, praisi dered and the killers were not ap- |prehended; that non-union men were slaughtered, and everybody got off scot free. That is the in- dictment of Williamson county; a] public indictment which can not be! “nolle prossed,” and an indictment which it will take the great state) of Illinois some time to live down. ALCOHOL AND CRIME Sir Basil Thompson, for many years at the head of Scotland Yard, is quoted in an interview as saying that intemperance has little to do with the prevalence of crime. “There is no relation between al- cohol and crime, in England,” is his belief. ‘When I say that,” he| adds, “I mean serious crimes, felon-| ies, not misdemeanors; offenses that ‘constitute the real menace to 80| ciety. It is the habitual criminal who wars with society. Our expe-| {rience is that the habitual crimina] does not drink. If he takes a drink he ceases to be an habitual criminal, for the simple reason that he fails in business. The successful burg- lar needs steady nerves and a clear | head.” | This contention frequently has been made editorially, and statis j cited to prove it. Minor offenses, breaches of the peace, disorderly conduct and the like are the outcome of drinking, but, to note an example, there is not a soberer person on earth than the New York pickpocket. He wouldn’t last an hour, drunk. He is a total abstainer, H This doesn’t prove that temper- ance is a bad thing, or that prohibi- tion is a good thing. But it does prove there is much misinformation and pure rot circulated, largely by fanatics, concerning the influence | of alcohol on the social system. When Lenine finally does die, no- body will believe it. Lord Robert Cecil says wars de- molich credit. Yes, and that ain’t, all!
