The passing of Harding and the accession of Coolidge caused not the slightest po- litical or economic disturbance. Under what other form of government could such momentous events occur with perfect safety and continued good or der? In this particular case, to Americans it was the simple transfer of the greatest political power in the world from the safe hands of one person to * the safe hands of another person. Mir. Coolidge’s wlose association with the administration of the Jate President Harding, made this especially easy. iis hearty support of his chief's policies is well- known. The new president will be surrounded by the same men who carried those policies to such successful application. Already has announcement ‘been made that the strictest economy will continue to be practiced, the reduction of the debt will go on, the lessening of the tax burden will be accom- plished as the condition of the treasury warrants, and the administration of the executive depart- ments will be on the same high plane of efficiency as before. President Coolidge’s administration will be based essentially on law and order. He became a national d@igure, when, as governor of Massachusetts, he ‘*tood out boldly against the striking Boston police men. “There is no right to strike” said he, on that occasion, “against the public safety of anybody, anywhere, anytime.’ It was probably that cour- ageous statement, more than any other act of his ‘career, that brought him prominently to the at- ‘tention of the Chicago convention in 1920 and won him the vice presidential nomination. The new president’s concern for the welfare of the people, as distinguished from the interests of any special class, has been evidenced on numerous occasions since the Boston police espisode. “I am for a government of all the people,” he declared at another time, “founded on right, and truth, and justice. I am against a government of force and terrorism, of group, or class, or selfish interest.” It is his bold championship of the rights of the public at large that has endeared him to the hearts of the people, and that assures their support if his term as president develops any emergency in which those rights are assailed. But Mr. Coolidge’s vjgorous espousal of the pub- lic’s cause has not blinded his judgment to the rights of organized labor. Representatives of labor who dealt with him when he was governor of Mass- achusetts testify to his fair treatment of them. “In all my years of work with the legislature,” re- ‘marked one Massachusetts labor official, “I have “never met a man in whose sense of justice and _courage I had more trust.” As president Mr. Cool- “idge will have frequent opportunity to weigh the counter claims of labor and employers of labor dn various fields and will be called upon to strike a balance that will be fair to both parties while conserving the interests of the people at large. His record in that respect challenges our confidence. He is a worker without ostentation. “We need more of the office desk,” he once remarked, “and less of the show-window in politics. Let men in of- -fice substitute the midnight oil for the limelight.” ‘We may rest assured that those thoughts will con- *trol his actions while in the White House, and t reports of actual accomplishments, rather than promises of future achievements, will feature “the news from the executive mansion. President Coolidge is fortunate in having in shis wife an aid to his success as chief executive. ‘Possessed of marked tact, an unusual faculty for wnaking herself popular with her associates, and a thigh degree of personal grace and charm, Mrs. ‘Coolidge will.emulate the fascinating social atmos- phere which Mrs, Harding bestowed upon the “White House. The administration of President Coolidge will have the support of the people. He deserves only tgood wishes for his success, and there is every in- fication that he possesses them in generous mea- sure. Bogus and Real News Take for instance the pages of publicity and il Justrations carried by the metropolitan press on the occasion of the Dempsey-Gibbsons prize fight, or “boxing match” as those who seek to give such events as respectable standing as possible are wont to call it. Relays of airplanes rushed photographs *to the Atlantic ast for publication and no amount in money was spared to picture the event through the press and the films. Dempsey received millions of dollars worth of advertising which will pave the way for the next fight, which will be pulled off shortly. | ganize the government along sound business lines, | and salvage the wreckage of war. ment to thousands of workmen for months; or when a hydro-electric plant, built at a cost of from $25,000,000 to $100,000,000, turns in the water that makes electric current for thousands of homes farms and factories; or when a telephone cable is laid at an expense of $35,000,000 from Chicage to New York for the better service of millions of ple. Such events may be given a paragraph over the wires. y And so it goes. Industry that furnishes the bread and butter and keeps the wheels of progress going is such an ordinary occurrence, it is given scant attention and is not considered “important news.” Yét, should industry lag, which it sometimes does, a mighty howl goes up all over the land; and among the loudest howlers are the very people who pour out their hard earned money in support of just such “entertainment” as prize fights. The Waters Are Charted President Harding will go down in history as the greatest of our constructive presidents. When he en- tered the White House he found chaos on every hand. It became his duty to restore order, reor- In the two years and four months that he directed the affairs of state, a record of accomplishment was set never equalled before in the history of any government in the world, and likely never to be approached again. He foresaw that the task ahead far exceeded the capacity of any one man to handle success- fully, and he proceeded to surround himself with a cabinet who could not only give sound advice when called upon, but who could be trusted to manage the executive departments in the manner the situation demanded. In his selection of execu- tive assistants the president showed rare judg- ment. His appointees were men of marked manager- ial ability, and all were skilled in the work Mr. Harding allotted to them. What they did under his direction and guidance will forever remain an example to succeeding administrations. Economy was the watchword, and in the treasury department the effect of the Harding policies was most prominent. Just before he left for the west the president had the satisfaction of announcing to the country that the last fiscal year indicated a | big surplus instead of the usual deficit to which the people had been so accustomed. The reduction of expenditures and the increase of receipts made | possible large cuts in the national war debt and warranted a substantial lightening of the tax bur-| den. Future payment of almost half of the huge allied loan was also assured through the funding} agreement of Great Britain. In the war and navy departments the president has caused the conversion of huge surplus stores of supplies into cash, and in the shipping board his appointees have struggled successfully with heart- breaking discouragements. Under the Harding pol- icies the department of commerce has become a practical aid to exporters, the department of the interior has brought new efficiency to the admin- istration of the public domain, the ppst office de- partment is operating within its appropriations for the first time, the department of agriculture is headed by a man familiar with both the practical and legislative aspects of farming, and the state department has restored American prestige among the nations of the world. In place of the disorder he inherited, Mr. Hard- ing bequeaths to his successor an organization laid out according to approved business principles, one that already has had a two year demonstration of its ability to function according to the best inter- ests of the people. It is due to his foresight that the man who is to direct that organization is al- ready trained for the task. Mr. Harding established the precedent of inviting the vice president to at- tend cabinet meetings. His purpose was not only to receive the benefit of Mr. Coolidge’s sound com- ment on affairs of state, but to familiarize the vice president with the duties of the executive depart- ment so that, in the event of an emergency like the present, he could step into the president's office with no disturbance to the nation’s business. Never has a president's death been more deeply regretted, but never has a president left his of- fice in more orderly condition than Mr. Harding. President Coolidge can take up the reins where the predecessor has dropped them and pursue the Harding policies to the end already mapped out for them. Mr. Harding met and successfully mas- tered the crises incident to the abrupt change from war to peace, and Mr. Coolidge has but to follow the comparatively smooth road ahead. Mr. Hard- ing has paid the penalty for his overwork in behalf of the people. His memory will be gratefully treas- ured by them. Done With Show Business The two American Legion posts at Cheyenne are through with carnivals and circus and other enter- tainment companies seeking to get behind such a popular organization as the legion will be given a chilly reception in the capjtal city in future. The experience of Cheyenne has been similar to the experience of posts elsewhere. The members find when it is all over that their organization has been used simply as a drawing card for the benefit of the show people, and the financial return has at no time been suffjcient to offset the loss of pres- tige to the organization and to overcome the general dissatisfaction of the people. The Cheyenne posts did the sensible thing. The posts called a joint session. and resolved never again to become associated with traveling shows or carnivals nor to permit their name to be em- ployed in exploiting the people at any future time. That the resolution was adopted without a dis- senting vote in either post shows how thoroughly disgusted the Legionnaires are with the carnival business, Who Got the Worst of It? You know, there has been a lot of talk about the meaning of a former reliably Republican state like Minnesota turning face about the way she did jn the Magnus Johnson senatorial election. Now and then the best of them blow up. The Democrats never dreamed of losing states like Missouri and Kentucky, yet it happened to them, and all other of the northern states at times thought reliably Democratic, have been brought into the Republican camp. Both of the old parties have had to face worse explosions than ainnaante: furnished. There 38 just one thing worse than the loss of a Repub- |lican senator and that the Republican party is obliteration and elimination of the Democratic Contrast tho publicity given in these events with the few lines that are sent when a railroad y equipment or material ’ mut over the wires 0,000,000 order for new which will employ aces a give not called upon to face; and that is the complete party in the same contest.

All the wells at the plant were washed full. of mud and considerable time was required in their cleahing. Dr Hale, county health officer has ad vised everyone to boll their drinking water for the next ten days as the wells will require that long before the water is absolutely pure again: Surface water is still running into the wells and this is impure water. The city authorities hope in the next week to have everything at the plant in shape again and plenty of water in the reservoir so the people may be supplied with an adequate supply of pure water for all purposes, Pumping of water from the well in the park was discontinued as soon as the other wells were put in use. An analysis of the water in this well proved it to be unfit for drink- ing purposes, but it is not thought to be dangerous, though pumping from the well will be discontinued. se Ee Protecting Sage Hens CODY—So valuable do «age hens: Prove to Sage creek farmers in the control of insect pests that they will prevent as far as possible the shoot- ing of the birds this fall. “No hunt ing” signs have been placed on near. ly every ranch. 3.
