My Americanism I believe in America. I believe in America First. I believe that America should and will join in any association of nations that is workable and that has the approval of the whole united uation, but I believe the best service that America can render the world is by example rather than by meddling, and by deeds rather than by words. I believe in an Americanism that recognizes 20 class and that condemns all attempts to gain) special favor, whether these special favors be for great and powerful money interests or for a minor- ity group of discontents. I believe in an Americanism that recognizes in the claim of power by a revolutionary minority the same claim of autocracy that is made by a czar or a kaiser. I believe in an Americanism that instead of re- ducing the fit and the unfit to a common level provides equal opportunity for all to show their fitness and unfitness and to succeed or fail accord ing to their own merit, capacity and worth. I believe in an Americaniam that comes up from the people and is expressed by their will, and T oppose the Anti-American idea that democracy is 2 kind of free boon handed down from powerful official hands or distributed from some possible magic source by a dictatorial government. I believe in representative government and not in the domination of one-man government. I believe in an Americanism that is willing to give first place to the education and the absorp tion into our brotherhood of citizenship of those who seek new homes in America rather than first place to suppression of free speech and of- free thounght and of free action. But T believe in an Americanism that when the time and necessity comes, and acting on behalf of the great, steady majority, is capable of using a resolute hand in the name of Liberty, whether that resolute hand is used to punish wrongdoers that are rich and powerful and seek antocratic apecial privilege, or is used to restrain the ignorant plot ter for minority control—Warren G. Harding. Conserve our Presidegts The American people have been overworking their presidents. Customs and demands that have crown up of late years must be abolished and with- drawn if we would have our presidents live out the days allotted them. Those unfamiliar with the @uties that daily come to the president that involve actual physical work would be surprised could they look in upon him ona fairly busy day. Add to the physical effort the tremendous responsibility daily borne and the constant strain and you would wonder how any man could stand up under the load. Then when you supplement this with exacting social duties the president cannot escape, no toiler in the land does imore. While it is a fine thing that the people in dis- tant parts of the republic may see their president, hear him speak and grasp his hand, the practice must cease. Long, wearying speaking tours must become a thing of the past. Mr. Wilson broke under just such a strain and Mr. Harding would be alive and well today had he not undertaken the! Alaska trip. Even Mr. Roosevelt, the possessor of the most rugged constitution of any of the presi dents, shortened his life through the same offic exactions. A man who Is the choice of a hundred and twenty millions of people as their chief executive is too valuable a possession to take the risks involved in such travel and hardships as Mr. Wilson and Mr. Harding underwent in their official life. The people of distant parts of the country will haye to be content with printed matter concerning | their president and with photography as a substi-| tute for personal contact in the future, The} speaking tour goes out henceforth, | Old Vox Populi Uneasiness is apparent throughout the country over the prospect of a radical third party in the next presidential election. Similar dangers have arisen before. Some of them have gone so far ag) the selection of candidates representative of the| so-called “cause.” 1t occurred in the seventies and the nineties during the monetary discussions of those days. And even back of those years similar movements were not unknown. That we are subject to such attacks is due large- ly to our political illiteracy and the resulting sat- isfaction with partial vote government. Radical ism and every other political folly could be pushed forever into the background if we would wake up and compel total vote government. For it is an axiom that there is no more conservative force in a country than the voice of the whole people. Is not this particnlarly true of English speaking peoples? By 1924 there will be in the United States nearly ©9,000,000 citizens eligible to vote. Of these at Teast 50,000,000 and possibly 100,000, may be classed as conservative voters and should be reg istered. Yet if 30,000,000 take part in the coming Bi Sunday Morning Tribune every Sunday, at Casper| brought into action by advanced electoral methods. cep?!

In the form of voting by mail in the home the compulsion would resolve itself into a somewhat attractive pleasure. There is no sense in either of the old line polit- ical parties following precedent forever, one or the other of them must come alive to present sit- uations, and if they would preserve their party life must so change the election laws of the land as to more nearly record the will of the people. | We already have voting by mail to a limited) extent.

A True American Woman What a splendid woman Florence Harding has proven herself from the day the public first knew of her as the wife of a presidential candidate. Her devotion and helpfulness to her husband had gone on for many years without the public’s knowledge. But when } Harding assumed his place as the greatest figure in the greatest power in the worl, she was at his side. The same efficient helpmate, and as naturally and unquestionably a part of the, enlarged sphere as she was in the earlier years of | Struggle in the office of the Marion Star. | She is a wonderful woman. Unspoiled by the) good or ill fortune that came to them in their life’s journey together. | In the president’s last illness, it was the wife! that knew, better than all the men of science, when the danger point was neared. And how nobly she responded to every need and requirement. Herself but lately up from a long illness, she ac knowledged no fatigue. Her strength was farced to meet. the demands’ of the situation. She smoothed the pillow for the last time with her), accustomed motherlin: spoke words of cheer that concealed a breaking heart and with Chris- tian fortitude, received the blow that took from her the object of her greatest love. The experience through which she. is passing, comes to us all sooner or later. While a christian people pay tribute to her distinguished husband who has gone beyond recall, let the prayers of that people be for the noble woman who was so large a part of his honorable career and an ever present influence for good, whom Providence de-| erees must remain with her grief. Florence Harding needs the sustaining love and sympathy of all-America, Too Realistic The American idea of British newspapers has always been that they are dignified, ultra-conser- vative and dull in comparison with our own jour- nals. In most things the idea is correct. ' But in others, we cannot approach them for frankness and detail. We complain at times of the amount) of matter and the fairly candid accounts of divorce cases in which prominent peopie are concerned, that appear in our yellowest journals. Our wild: est efforts do not compare with English news- papers, when they have a similar situation under consideration. Our British cousins simply hand it out blood raw. No shocking detail is ommitted. In fact, the shocking details in divorcee cases lately tried in English courts and reported in Eglish newspapers have so shocked the moral sense of the public that a Parlimentary committee has decided to recommend that certain restrictions be placed upon the publication of divorce proceedings had in the realm. There is a natural reluctance to in any manner interfere with or abridge the freedom of the press, and there is something to be said in favor of complete publication when marital obligations have been ignored. On the whole however, the British public and the Parliamentary committee have reached the conclusion that more harm than good is done in spreading before readers of all ages the tragedies of married life. Our British contem- poraries, of course, should have reformed them- selves and not waited for public opinion to con- demn their practices. In America the newspapers are more sensitive to scent unpopwarity; and lose no time in correct: ing faults and offenses against the proprieties. True, some, at times, verge very close to the danger line in calling a spade a spade; but ordinarily we find a nickname, which answers the purpose quite as well, and thereby avoid public scorn. Money In Politics It is not just now that women have begun to realize that political activities, even of the most virtuous and legitimate kind—in which kind alone of course, women engage or ever will—may involve the spending of money in considerable amounts. It is not news to them, either, that without money not much can be done in the way of making known political demands and in making “movements” successful, But of late these unhappy truths seemingly havo been brought to feminine minds with more than usual clearness, and, as not quite all of them yet have achieved that financial and economfe inde- pendence of which they so often talk, it is natural that their eforts to raise money ane brought to the not always pleased attention of men. One husband has recently complained as if it were a grievance, that his wife had spent #100,000 in furthering political ambitions, her own and those of others, and probably he is not alone in thinking that whatever a wife expends, in that way is too much. Probably, however, most of tho "money devoted by women to politics is their own; either by inheritance or as the result of their own endeavors. The rich ones among them have been generous in giving for the cause they had at heart, and the amount of personal work many of them are willing to do for nothing except the satisfaction of doing it has made politics appreciably less expensive for them than men have found it to he, Let women get the proper perspective in the game they are comparatively beginners in, and they will make a better use of money in politics as time goes on. When they begin to apply that well- known bargain hunting instinct to the profession, | there is little fear that they will get the full worth of expenditures. It is only now and then that man as a user of |money gets anything like adequate return for his political dollar. Whatever woman may be now in this line, she will do better later and her worst * has been matched by man more often than not | Aunt Eppie Hogg, the Fattest Woman in Three Counties— Che Casper Daily Cribune Fox Aont Eppie’ HAs NeveR BEEN ABLE To LET HER LITTLE NEPHEW SIT IN HER LAP GUT THIS 1S MoRE “THAN MADE UP FoR - et THe FACT THaT (IN EVERY SENSE of THe WoRD) SHE CAN, LET_HIM CURL UP_AND Go To SLEEP ON HER-SHoULDER. =~ my.

Burgess, of Cas- per, arrived in Buffalo the first of the week with 34 head of horses and wagons and will take over the haul- ing contract of the Cloud Peak Tim- ber company for ties. It has been found that trucks are impractical for the mountain work “| and the teams have been put on in- stead. Mr. Burgess plans to haul down 1,000 ties a day with teams and if the teams he has on hand are not enough he will put on more when needed.

Large quantities of coal will be stored from Omaha to Portland, as is the custom of the road, and from now on miners in the employ of the U. P. Coal company will work full six days each week. ‘This means that from now on about 2,000 miners will be given steady employment for the coming several months, and is indeed pleasing news to the lotal business men as well as the miners benefited.
