An in- dustry full of energy and regarded, at the time, by many as an asset to the town. What glory it possessed has departed. The monument, ‘with its gaunt, silent interior, its rusting machinery, its paneless windows, its rat infested tunnels, its de- caying timbers and crumbling masonry, is a monu- ment of the similitude of many others throughout the land. It is the Casper brewery. The tombstone of the festive bock and ordinary five per cent. Once ac- tive in the affairs of Casper, now a ey to a bourne from which it will never return. imitators have since risen up to usurp the throne of the late giant; but none have attained into his perfection; his power and his kick. These pre- tenders may flourish for a day—a week perhaps— but they too will vanish from the scene and the haunts of men will know them no more, ‘forever. ‘Why should the old brewery remain a silent mon- ument, idly commemorating the life and works of a demon, permitted all too long to work his will? Why should it be a tombstone Why should it not become, instead, a thing of usefulness, re- formed, purified, regenerated, made to atone in useful service for past sins? The solemn old brewery, standing in solitude, with its sombre mantle of wrong wrapped about it, stoically meeting its fate—which is disintegration marks one of the violent and unexpected changes that seize upon the minds of the human family. Let the human family have its will, but when des- truction has run its course, it is time then for up-| building. Should not the old brewery be recon- structed into something of benefit? Surely it is an eyesore as it stands today. A Bum Slogan Alice Robertson, former member of congress from Oklahoma, since her retirement from public life has been casting about to see whether or not she overlooked any duty to her constituents during her two years spent in Washington. She discovered one, and she desires it to be spread abroad’as a motto or slogan. From its nature it is assumed to be intended for her own sex, certainly not for the other sex unless, perchance, the specimen hail- ed from Milwaukee. The motto is simple and brief —Back to Corsets.” Alice leaves the world to guess whether, she, her- self, has gone back, or whether she ever abandoned. It may not be material, for but few advisers ever follow the rules they lay down for the guidance of others. ince Alice was a girl a great change has come over the feminine world, in matters of dress re- form. No doubt she has noted the changes from time to time even if he has not adopted them all. She should know if he does not, that the boiler plate casing she is campaigning for has gone out for good and all and the young lady who has grown up in the last few years could not tell a specimen from the hoopskirt her great grandmother wore le bustle that held such a prominent place in , grand mother’s day Health authorities railed at the corset for years id when they quit women quit choking them- with them us that selves inform Since shedding them, observers a marked improvement in the fe- to torture, which sensible women will scarcely wel- come, after emjoying the, freedom from restraint of the past few rs. Miss Robertson will have to devote more time to her survey and discover something else of great er popularity than wearing corsets. Our Legislative Proceedings Notwithstanding the many jibes to which it is subjected, the Congressional Record places daily before the people of the country a more complete and convenient transcript of national legislative proceedings than is provided for the perusal of the people of any other country. The British parlia- mentary record is almost exclusively a record of ebates with a record of the action taken on bills. There is no list of bills introduced, no publication of conference reports, no list of executive docu- ments transmitted to the legislative body. The French record made available for public reading is fairly comparable with ours in most respects ind may even be superior in some. It is not convenient for general use, since the de- yates of the two chambers are published separate y and the leaves are not stitched, so that handling 8 difficult and filing even more difficult. In Great Britain, also, the debates in the two houses are orinted separately—a plan not so convenient as ours The French record of debates has one feature hat adds to its usefulness. At the opening of the report of the debate in each chamber there is given ) summary of the day's proceedings, setting forth oriefly the different subjects under consideration male forvh is noted, and women can now take a Jong breath into the lungs without tearing things} to pieces or suffering agony Coming back to corests is simply coming back A reader can quickly scan the topics and more easily find what he wants or ascertain whether there is any subject in which he has particular in- terest. The different subjects noted in the summary are numbered and corresponding numbers appear) in the text. The British record of debates has two features that would probably commend it to many Ameri- cans. Because of the small quantity of material it is printed in a pamphlet with pages about the size of the ordinary government document in this coun- try, whereas our Congressional Record has very large pages. This advantage in the form of the pamphlet is more than counter-balanced by the in- convenience of having the records of the two} houses published separately. Another feature of! the Britsh record is that where a member’s speech is carried over from one page to another the mem.-| ber’s name appears at the top of the new page so} that the reader can easily see who the speaker was! without turning back to the previous page. Our Congressional Record contains several fea-! turgs not known elsewhere. One of these is the} publication of speeches not actually delivered on) the floor. Here, as in other countries, there is not! time enough for all to speak who wish. In this country this difficulty has been met by granting in the house of representatives what is known as “leave to print” or to extend remarks in the Rec- ord. Thus a member is given opportunity to ex- |press his views officially and make them available for his constituents. This privilege is practically 5 {#8 valuable as the right to talk on the floor, for in a large proportion of instances a man talks chiefly | to empty benches unless the importance of the sub- ject or his reputation as an orator draws members to their seats. Minority members are not always assured an opportunity to be heard in other coun tries. In both houses in our congress a member is given opportunity to revise his remarks, thus cor recting inaccuracies incident to extemporaneous speech. Where an address occupies more than one} day, publication may be withheld and the speech printed as a whole, when complete. | Magnifying Magnus The newspapers far and wide have had their fling at Magnus Johnson, the recently elected sen- ator from Minnesota. Mr. Johnson has lately been making a series of speeches in his home state and in one of them he predicted revolution unless there was an equitable distribution of wealth among the people. The New York Herald takes Mr. Johnson to task for his utterances in the following | ner: “The newly elected senator from Minnesota, Mag-) nus Johnson, dons the robes of a prophet of gloom,| He sees revolution if conditions are not changed.| Magnus finds that ‘65 per cent of the wealth of the! country is in the hands of 2 per cent of the popu- lation and unless there is better distribution of} this wealth the common people are going to revolt} against it.’ | “What is wealth, Magnus? Is it in homes, where people have more fun than elsewhere? In this coun- try 11,000,000 families hold deeds to their homes. Is it in motor cars, joyous chariots of the modern Rome? Eleven million families own their ov™ au- tomobile and eleven million more are saving up to buy a gas buggy. Is it in savings bank accounts? Thirteen million families have these and their |footings run to nearly ten billions. “In Magnus’ own state three families own their own homes to every two families that rent. Are |these house owners, these motor car owners, these savings bank depositors going to join in a revolu- tion of wealth? Is Farmer Magnus Johnson, owner }of one of the largest and finest Gothic barns in | Minnesota, going to make war in order that his nm be distributed among those who haven't barns? “Two per cent of the population is not eating 65 per cent of the green corn and cherry pie these It is not catching 65 per cent of the bass or swimming 65 per cent of the swims. It is not see- ing 65 per cent of the motion pictures or dancing 65 per cent of the jazz steps. If we should hazard a plunge into percentages we should say that 98 per cent of the people, including Magnus have 100 per cent of the joy—and therefore the wealth of the world.” Peace by Phrases “The danger ever lurking in a campaign with such a slogan as ‘Law, Not War,’ is that it may deceive unthinking people into believing that a mere utterance of this pious aspiration will bring about permenent peace.” Thus writes the New York ; Times, It would be well for the Times to turn back to its files of 1916 and convince itself whether or not it lent its columns at that time to an equally pious aspiration and at the same time the most hypo- critical slogan even turned loose upon a people— “He kept us out of war.” As recalled the Times did take part in peddling this treacherous propaganda and used its inflnence in the interest of the very man who knew at the! time, as did all informed editors of the country that we were even then on the verge of war and nothing short of a miracle could prevent our going jin. J Why object to so worthy a slogan as “Law, not |war,.” if any particular group of our people desire |to adopt it. ‘The sentiment is in every way correct |'To ‘settle differences by law is much more desir. jable than to settle them by slaughtering each jother, In the former case the right may be deter-| mined. In the latter case nothing is proved except who is the most ruthless butcher. Anything that will bring universal and perma nent peace, even though it be only a slogan which captures the unthinking is a thing to be desired. Go With Open Eyes If the American farmer desires to embrace the Farmer-Labor stuff with its sovietism, bolshevism and what not; and if he even desires to rush to the political and economic rescue of Russia, at the behest of his Red brother of the Farmer-Labor party, then let him. But let him go with his eyes wide open. Let him peruse the news from Europe and especially from the country with which he will be in deepest sympathy governmentally if he fol- lows out the program of his party. : Let him take the word of Mr. Skobelieff, unof- al ambassador of the soviet to France, who : “The Russian export of wheat is increasing- ly active. At least four million tons will be ex- | ported next winter by the soviets. Russia expects | to become the chief competitor of the United States in supplying the wheat needs of the world.” There you have it. If you have answered the plea of your Red brother of the Farmer-Labor party and | Joined up in aid of the Russian system, you must be somewhat bewildered. And then when you stop to |think that your own wheat is at present worth a | dollar, you discover your Russian friends ready to }dump four million tons on the market to make |the price still less. | If the whent farmers of America can find any fi jcause for embracing the Farmer-Labor moyement | \8 a means of bettering their political or economic condition they lack the intelligence they are or dinarily reputed to possess, fhe Casper Daily Cribune The Little Scorpions Club— x JTITTLELCUARENCE Visiting Old Timers DOUGLAS.—Car!
