THE CASPER TRIBUNE'S PRO LEONARD WOOD IS SHOCKED Gen. Leonard Wood is stirred with emotion by the fact that the Filipinos whom he austerely shep- herded are resorting to propaganda in seeking national self-determina- tion Ip would seem as if the Filipinos had as good a right to do this as 98 per eent of all the nations who are setting the example. In particular, it does them and us no harm, and may do good, when they call on the United States to keep in faithful performance all promises, expressed or implied, made to them in the name of the nation. However that may be, General ‘Wood caught a Tartar when he wrote that members of congress and others prominent in Washington “reesived payment from the Philip pine Independence commission in espousing the cause of independ. ence for the islands,” the amount paid in some cases reaching ‘four figures. That useful gadfly of political hacks, Representative Frear of Wis- consin, points out that such general charges libel indiscriminately nine- ty-siz senators and 435 representa- tives, and demands that General Wood exonerate the innocent by naming the guilty The accused commission offers from Manila to open its book for the purpose. The demand is just. It should be possible for a public man to advo- cate that the United States shall keep its word without his being sus- pected of taking bribes. At any rate, Mr. Frear pleasantly inti- mates, the charge comes with ill] grace from a man whose presiden tial aspiratior nate committee “found, according to recollection, that upward of $1,000,000 had been raised to put over.” Mr. Frear is right. Unless Gen- eral Wood names names and offers proofs, apologies are due. a SHORT-SIGHTED LABOR ECONOMISTS When labor leaders in the build- ing trades demand exceptionally high wages at the peak of produc- tion they are a g for no more than the pressure of competi tion enables them in many cases to get it when they order or per mit strike: to peg such wages for two orn years to come they are attempting the impossible and deal- ing their unions what time may dis- close a heavy blow Those who make the demand and those who refuse alike assume that peak pri ot last. Both wish t ossible lear years ars. come going to be andy to have No} ' threatens 3 some bu'lding work to go on with,) thus mitigating the anticipated evils! |of unemployment. What reason is there to suppose |that work which is abandoned now because it costs too much will be undertaken later on if it still costs too much? That is a purely eco:, nomic problem. Indéed, it is rea-/ “sonable to suppose that men who, cannot finance costly construction in flush times will be unable or unwilling to finance it in famine} times. | It requires no great skill to grasp something that ‘is within reach. The! future is beyond reach, and the at-! tempt to bind it to the channels of the present is likely to prove dis- astrous to the unions. A little knowledge of economics would do no harm in the building trades. CONCERNING JAZZ Any objection to jazz should be made on a purely cultural and ar-| tistic basis. We cannot agree with the Sabbath Committee of the Southern Presbyterian church that it is a menace to civilization and the disintegration of | American homes. Here is what the |committee saya. “The morale of |the average American is in a state lof jazz. With jazz music, jazz amusements, jazz reading, jazz con- versation, jazz ornaments, jazz dress, how can sanity, sobriety and dependability be expected in the work of the world, when the homes keep pouring such poisoned streams into it.” A sufficient answer seems to be that the work of the world never has in all history been done as ef- ficiency as now in every depart-| ment of human endeavor. The arts, the sciences, religion itself, and in deed morality, have made greater strides in the last generation than in any century precedins it. Cities) are cleaner, society is cleaner and |even Main Street more jealous of jits reputation than ever before within the memory of men. We fear our Southern Presbyte- rian friends have mistaken contrast for expansion. Remote places have been brought near together by wire, |by radio and by an increasing dis- position to travel | The world is simply wiser, not] worse, than’ it was. | EDUCATION BY THE EYE | Mr. Edison’s ordinary views in| the matter of education are those| jot a rather old-fashioned plain| | American citizen. He has an idea! that college graduates and even} high school graduates should know how to spell fairly well, and that they should possess a decent de- gree of general information, giving evidence of having read something beyond the “required stuff” at school and the sporting page after- ward. But in his recently broached opinion that moving pictures are go ing to supersede books as an in- strumentality of common school ed- ucation Mr. Edison seems to have departed from the commonsense view. It is true, as Mr. Edison says, that the greater part of a child's or a man’s education nowadays is gained through the use of the eyes,| not the ears. Children no longer learn “by rote”; they learn by the use of the eye, and by the culti-| vation of the visual memory. But it does not follow from this that the moving picture is a better agen-| cy of general instruction than books or that word-of-mouth instruction,| or the guidance and inspiration of} the teacher’s eye and the soul that looks through it can profitably be| dispensed with. Moving pictures are already a valuable adjunct of education, and are destined to become still more) valuable. Perhaps the screen and the projecting apparatus will yet be) found in every schoolroom. 'roba- bly all educators will welcome its agency. But an exclusive or almost| exclusive moving picture education would swiftly dissipate the intelli-| gence of the children who were made dependent upon it. Its images | are rapidly lost, and its swiftness stimulates the habit of loose atten- tion which is the foe of real and lasting mental impressions. It is a| |process of skimming everything, not of laying hold upon and retaining. | The key of all remembering is fixed | and persistent attention. It is like- ly that Mr. Edison would say that| the visual images produced by the moving picture would be retained if they were repeated. But repeti- tion is boredom, and the childish mind which delights in a repeated story, a repeated song, balks at a |repeated picture. The eager eye |demands something new—to for get The question is worth Mr. Ed son's attention, and that of othe students of education, whether the faculty of apprehension in young Americans has not already been un favorably affected by too much eye instruction and not enough ear in- struction, And as a generation of men, we are overworking the eye, besides abusing the ear. It would scarcely be well to go further in the direction of destroying the bal ance of the senses. Moreover, even as a business that lies merely be- tween the eye and the brain, the time-honored book offers an oppor tunity for the achievement of ser ous and useful knowledge Neighborhood News.

Settlement EAST TERRACES | “An Ideal Place to Build Your Home” The enthusiastic reception given East Terraces from its opening, a little over a week ago, foretells a wonderful fu- ture. Fair or rainy weather, every day has seen visitors in the sub-division selecting home locations. Situated just east of the city limits between First and Fourth streets, this tract is known as “The Extension of East Second Street,” and commands a beautiful view of the whole city of Casper, making it an ideal place to build your home. Yesterday a sightly ridge, carpeted with sagebrush; tomor- row a residential neighborhood; this is the transformation which we expect. We predict East Terraces will develop more rapidly than any other sub-division now on the market. “An Ideal Place to Build Your Home” is only one of the merits of East Terraces. With bus service only a short dis- tance away, East Second Street pavement to be extended to within one block from the addition; only a few blocks from public school and adjoining the new City Park, certainly a more convenient location could not be expected. Early purchasers have first choice of lots and actually save money. We believe every foot of ground will advance in value as development proceeds, keeping step all the way.

The umpire and Mickey's seat mate insisted that it was a strike. And the war was on. Mickey promptly shed his coat, his yest, his col and his tle. At that moment Chief Ole Pointer appeared on the scene and took the belligerent one in tow. As a result, Mickey will appear before the, police judge to answer to the charge of be- ing drunk and disorderly. Incidentally, this sets a new rec: ord, Mickey hasn't been in jail for four months nd eight days.
