Better than any other he knew the value of plain writing on homely subjects. At the opposite pole from selective journ- alism, he deliberately worked out |the lowest common divisor for the greatest number of readers. He avoided political, religious and so- ciological subjects. He champion- ed nothing save the ordinary man. For example, where others sought his views on fiat money or principles of government, Mr. Siddall adver- tised that “Henry Ford Talks About His Mother.” He glorified the ob- vious and capitalized the ordinary. \. It was a paradox of his journal- istic policy that he introduced a person element into it. Kindly and shrewd, and with a fine homiletic gift, he became a source of wisdom for millions ot readers who will mourn the absence of “Sid” and his sayings. nine and in the prime of life he learned that he must be a victim of an incurable disease. It was characteristic of him that he should look upon death as only another or- dinary event which all readers must some day value in terms of their own experience. It was also char- acteristic that he refused another inactivity. —_,—____ ARE POINCARE’S EYES OPENING In his Villers-Cotteret speech re- cently M. Poincare omitted nothing serviceable to keep at white heat jthe French feeling against Ger- many. Of the captured German staff report outlining a systematic destruction of French industrial machinery he once more made ef- fective use. No less vivid than us- ual was his picture of the wealthy German industrialists who have swallowed everything swallowable in their own country and under the mask of its pauper tatters are pre- paring to devour the rest of Europe. In one paragraph there is a sug- | that in which the French premier |invites England, Belgium and Italy |to unite with France more closely than ever in common effort. He goes so far even as to propose a \trip through the Aisne and the |Ruhr, not by financial experts or |international bankers, to be sure, but ordinary representatives of the j|respective sovernments. But common effort is precisely} what the British prime minister has region and more frequent train service for Casper. MODEST MR. ANDERSON Whatever may be his short- comings, William H. Anderson can never be accused of a lack of naivete. His demand that Gov. Smith remove District Attorney Banton from charge of the grand jury investigation of Mr. Ander- son’s financial affairs is quite as in- genuous as anything the dry lead- er has yet proposed. If the gov- ernor complies with this request he will establish a precedent for deal- ing with investigations by district attorneys everywhere. A grand jury investigation has always been a painfully tedious af- fair. Grand jurors must fight through smoke screens, spend hours listening to interminable data, and lose many pleasant siestas at the office. The state is subjected to considerable expense, the assistant} district attorney put to no end of trouble. Then, too, those investi- gated suffer no little inconvenience, what with writing letters to the gov- ernor and one thing or another. Mr. Anderson has a solution for Henceforth, when a man is investigated by the grand jury what can be simpler than to have the governor remove the dis- It the matter. trict attorney as a rebuke? would be a warning to all public officials to keep their noses out of that the books of organizations make nosing a business.

Acting upon this form- ula, he proceeded to dramatize the daily eventa which color the life of the average American. In eight years of his leadership the Ameri- can M ine rose from 400,000 to 100,000 circ and justified alation formula Mr lays f New prod n great he would have been the last to have boasted such magazine, Perhaps been demanding, and an investiga- tion in the common interest what Mr. Hughes has been recommend- ing.

The excursion has not thus far helped France, and though it may have wounded Germany deeply, has cer- tainly wrought upon all the friends of France no inconsiderable dam- age. If M.

GILLETTE, Wyc., July 30.—John C. Preston, 67, a farmer living about 12 miles southeast of Gillette, died from injuries received when his team ran away near Dillinger. From available information it seems that Mr. Preston had driven the team from his home to the home of his son near Dillinger and that he had got- ten out of the wagon to open a gate when the team became frightened and started to run. In his efforts to stop the animals he received in- juries which caused his death. saat, hae rah ere Man Takes Poison RAWLINS, Wyo. July 30.—De- spondent over the death of his father and loss of a position at the refinery, W. T. Dolson, an employe of the Pro- ducers & Iefiners since last April, at- tempted to commit suicide, taking bi-chloride of mercury. The man took the poison while in his room and it was over two hours before the fact became known. When found the man was rushed to the Memorial hospital where treatment was administered by Dr. Kell. In an interview Mr. Dolson stated that he di@ not wish to die and that he was not in his right mind when he attempted to take his own life. It 1s believed that Dolson will re- cover from the efects of the poison. peti oon nein eikcel tae To Be Prepared SHERIDAN, Wyo., July 30.—Reso- lution of intention to repave Main street from the Little Goose creek bridge to Burkitt street, and a half block on Alger avenue, was adopted by the city commissioners in a special session.

That fact was learned when the first ordinance book of the city, dated 1884, nearly 40 years ago, was re- surrected from the municipal archives in the city hall. The ordinance recites in detafl the dangers of careless driving of horses, mules and other animals in the city streets, sets six miles an hour as the, nf 4 all parts of Wyoming. ‘e teach you. CHAS.
