Make your SAGES AT WASHINGTON In the absence of congress and obviously without consulting the powers behind the administration throne, the Republican National committee took upon itself to il- Jumine the country with wisdom. Some of us had been inclined to} think too lightly of the prudence, | the cleverness, the far-reaching suasive effect, even of the majestic importance, of political committees. But nobody could have read the latest statement of the Republican National committee without being innuendoes. Europe is depressing to the outsider. Wherefore, to judge Mr. Gorky’s works, Europe |ought to be very pleasant to him. That which is depressing is usually a delight to the mind of the Russ literary lights. They play with it, build on it, and make plays of it which for some inexplicable reason are produced every so often on the American stage. New York was af- flicted with a couple of Gorky’s best efforts a year or so ago, and all who saw them conceeded that for sheer delicacy and delightful fantasy their only rival was the morgue on a busy night. The affabie murderers, and jeharming maniacs, who ramble through one of Mr. Gorky's plays, disgorging philosophy which would be considered pessimistic even in a psychopathic ward, may or may not have been drawn from real life. But if so, the chances are that their counterparts stalk continental rope today, cooking up another war. | Certainly Europe is sufficiently dis- |agreeable to intrigue the Slav pas-| which seems to, burn with great) |fervor in the Russian bosom of| Maxim Gorky. Hence, as we said | before, it is surprising to find that |Gorky is sick of Europe. And if Europe can make a Gorky sick, how must it affect the rest of the world?

Dick was will- Ing to kill the dog right on the spot, but objected to his being arrested as owner of the doy After pelting the animal with a 9, an armistice was formed and officer and dog were turned loore, at the request of the complainant. Injured by Fall PINE BLUFFS, Wyo., May 29.— William Hermann, living on the G. H. Ketchpaw place southwest of town sustained a compound fracture of the right leg when the saddle turned on the horse he was riding. Mr. Her- mann was rendered partly uncon- scious by the accident and does not know whether the horse stepped on him or kicked him. The accident happened on the prairie and he lay there for several hours before being discovered. He managed to crawl about 70 or 80 rods and built a fire to attract at- tention. His horse went to one of the neighbors and they started a search for him. Darkness came on and the searchers were only able to locate Hermann by means of the beacon fire. Dr. Marshall set the leg, removing one small plece of the bone, and Mr. Hermann was taken to Cheyenne on No. 19 Wednesday to enter the hos- pital. AFTER KNOCKING THE BALL OUT oF THE BOT Micke M°GuUIRE ALWAYS STANDS AT INFIELDERS PICK UP THE GASES AND CARRY THEM IN FoR HIM “To “TouCH . ers are beginning to talk of de- manding payment in gold or its equivalent in real value. Should this demand increase and should the decline of the mark continue, there is little doubt that it will hast- en the realization of the futility of| the present policy. The only solu-| tion lies in promptly coming to an| agreement with France and forth- with beginning the arduous task of re-establishing German finances up- §mpressed by the judgment, the po-| litical sagacity, the instinctive sense ef popular opinion of that often un-| derestimated council of sapience. Great Britain and her allies were caught in the act of trying to “bill | the United States by hook or crook” out of the costs of our army of occupation on the Rhine. “The whole matter is a crooked deal.” That is what was to be expected whenever the United States had anything to do with Europe. “It is| typical of the attitude of England and European Powers toward this country in all matters. They are out to ‘job’ the United States at every possible turn.” Those accursed foreigners were violating arid repudiating to the top of their bent. They were pettifog- gers. They had no sense of fair play. They were guilty of “down- right dishonesty” in their treatment of the United States in this Rhine business. If this country of inno- cents “goes into any sort of league with European Powers, they will immediately take every advantage of it at the expense of the United States.” This “has long been known by those familiar with the attitude of European Powers to- ward America.” dently the members of the national committee were those long-experienced ex- perts. The consummate tact, the “popular appeal” of this line of “argument,” would have been evi- dent and irresistible had it not un- kindly been repudiated by lesser “experts” such as Messrs. Harding and Hughes. Europe is a crook! her, my people! That was a deep- pondered, an engaging issue. No dealing with crooks! The farmers were to “rise to it as one man,” weren't they? And the soldiers andj others too numerous to mention. Mr. Harding must have been highly gratified by the authoritative utter- ance of these framers of political sues and shapers of political des- tiny. Come out of SHAKING THE FIST That astonishingly sauternine playwright, Maxim Gorky, who writes gloomy drama of what might be called the Russian gas-house school of literature, says in an in- terview in Berlin that he has a mes | many. on a sound basis. It would seem that mere expediency, which has so often dictated Germany’s poli- cies, would make this clear to Ger- What the effect will be of the re- ported Communist uprising at Gel- senkirchen, in the mining district, cannot be predicted. Such out- breaks are usually spasmodic, and)! due to local conditions. Even if| encouraged by Russian money, they are little more than symptoms of) unrest. Too often in the past there| have come from Central Europe similar reports, in which hundreds} of thousands of Communists were pictured as about to spring up and overturn the existing order. Taken in conjunction with the demands for surer pay, however, the present Germany’s internal problems, which are closely intertwined with the reparations problem, cannot be solved by postponement. | One of the excuses which the government leaders are making for delaying action is that something) may be gained by waiting until Pre-| mier Baldwin's exact views on rep-) arations problem are known. This is but a slender hope. The Cuno government is in the position of a nervous peryen with an ulcerated) tooth, who puts off until the last possible moment the fateful neces- sity of going to the dentist. The] longer the day of reckoning is put} off, the greater is the suffering. The cure for Germany is to make an appointment with the dentist and keep it.

Rohling is dead and her husband, two daugh- ters and son are suffering from pain- ful, though not dangerous bruises. The accident happened about two miles east of Green River, on an un- guarded bridge at that point. W. H. {Meldrim, of the Ridge Garage of Rock Springs, was coming toward this city in a Ford bus which is used during the winter months to trans- port children to school. He says that the first he knew that an accident had happened was when he felt an impact against the rear wheel‘on the feft side of his car; and looking out he saw an automobile turned turtle at the foot of a 15-foot embankment. He immediately stopped his car and | rushed to the rescue of the imprison- f ed passengers. All but Mrs, Rohting, an elderly woman, 62 year of age, extricating themse!ves without any id. Passing motorists assisted in raising the car and the injured wom- an was rushed to the Wyom!ng hos- pital In this city where she died shortly after her arrival, from in ternal injur’es.

Elton was aiding a force of linemen on West Flat when his body came in contact with a dead-end wire. At the same time he held a piece of wire in one hand, creating a circuit and caus- ing the current to pass’ through his body. Workmen noticed his predica ment as he fell to one side of the crossbars and onto the wires, and im- mediately rushed to his rescue. The elty current was shut off and the man rushed to the Wyoming general hos- pital, where {t was found that he suf severo burns of the leg and = ask for Horlicks The ORIGINAL Malted Milk a | The Original Food-Drink for All Ages.

Wyo., May 29.—The highest bid for any of the recent Rawlins wool clip, 44%c a pound, was turned down here this week, while several sales were made, three from the seven bids offered by the buyers. Guus Strandberg sold to Adams & Leland at 44 cents; Sundin & Johnson sold to Silberman at 43 1-3 cents, and the Blake Sheep Co. accepted 43 1-3 cents, A great deal of interest was cen- tered in the Rawlins sale, as it is the first big sale to be made in southern Wyoming following shearing this spring. Suicide Attempt Fails ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., May 2.9— A woman of the world attempted suicide at the Northern Hotel in Rock Springs or at least she thought she aid. After taking what proved to be a harmless drug, she put up a wall and told the proprietor of the place that she had taken poison, and forth- with a loca! physician was calied to the scene. It did not take the medical man long to find out that the woman had fooled herself and that the poison was harmless. Sitting back in his chair | weeks and is considered an able man| jin his trade.

Many Violators Caught ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., May 29.— Thirtytwo prohibition violators oc- cupied the attention of the city police judge and officers all day Tuesday. and patt of Wednesday morning as fa two months’ quiet quest for evl- dence caused most of those charged to plead guilty.

As a result of tho bait thrown out thirty-two violators were made to appear in Police Judge Croft's court all day Tuesday, and so strenuous were the labors of the offi- cers that violators held an overflow meeting most of Wednesday morn- ing.

McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury, sald that the policy of the present administration at Washing- ton in regard to the solution of the economic problems was one of “wig- gling and wobbling and floundering sugar,” he said. “They don't dare reduce the tariff on sugar, which power the president has, but they tell you the solution of that matter is to stop eating sugar, I presume that if the price of food became too igh, the administration would 1. commend to the people that they stop eating food. It may be that if the president should reduce tho tariff on sugar that he would hit some interest which might affect the campaign contribution to the Repub lican caus Alarm Is Felt For Explorer COPENHAGEN, May 30.—Fear that Roald Amundsen, who ts at. tempting a flight across the north pole next month may encounter un- known magnetic currents in the tn- ner arctic zone which will upset his compass and cause him to fly in clr. cles, is expressed by experts writing in the Rerlingske Tidende.
