Funeral Train's Message , Among the many letters from the public written to the newspapers, respecting the death of Presi- dent Harding, the following is selected as contain- ing an important public message all may ponder over: “Surely there is something more than an empty symbol in the passing of the death train from coast to coast, the breadth of the continent, bearing the mortal remains of the chief executive who so late- ly spoke to us in person, through the press, by wireless and from the screen. “The crowds who a few days since gave him pass- ing applause stand now in silence with bowed, bared heads. There is an intimate personal sorrow in the unexpected passing of the great, gentle char- acter. But is it enough just to feel our sense of per- sonal grief? “Throughout the land there is a growing feeling ‘of unrest. This is not an unrest stirred by the ig- norant, the anarchist and the idle, but it ferment equally among those who have benefitted by nat ional policies and education. It is the unreason- ing unrest of immediate self-desire whether it be in the heart of the laborer, the farmer, the merchant or the banker. It is the species of unrest that threatens to strike something down that will strike back to kill. “Special laws for special classes will not stem this rising tide of discontent. It is a thing beyond the scope of an individual statute. Nothing short of a reversal of the mental attitude of the nation can stop the drift. “Twice during a short range of years the presi- dential train has gone westward with the purpose of arousing national thought to the truth that no man prospers by himself alone, but that public policies are individual responsibilities. One spokes- man came back stricken, the other returns in the shrouded train of death. “In broad terms, the s: message to the peo- ple was voiced by both stricken presidents. Both appealed for a greater national consciousness of the interdependence of mankind—and both fell at the task. Our present sorrow cannot be sincere anless it is tinctured with a sense of shame for the part that nationwide indifference played in these tragedies. “If our tears are ted with resolution for more valiant citizenship, if our prayers are pledges of renewed love for our fellowmen, then are we fit! to mourn such a citizen as Warren G. Harding.) Then shall hig works have not been in vain—he| would ask nothing more from his life than that it might arouse the people to their full responsibil- ities to fellow-creatures.” [The First Mother-in-Law The picture services supplying the newspapers of the country have dug up one of Mrs. Lamira {ioodhue, the mother of Mrs, Calvin Coolidge, which they have labeled the “First Mother-in-Law of the land.” We have no other way of judging the qual- ity of the lady except by the picture. Up to date she has not figured at all in the public prints. Viewing her dfmensions and the firmness of her chin we would say at once that she is a very Aa able person. Boss of her own household and all herein contiained, including the respected father- -law of the president, if any such there be. We are not informed, and the star interviewers as yet have not touched upon the president’s court- ship of the lady’s daughter. One of two things is certain, the mother-in-law either thought highly of Calvin Coolidge or else he had a very rocky time stealing the young lady out on excursions to pray- er meetings and other places of amusement. The picture gives every evidence of a person able and even willing to make the course of true love run rough. She also looks like a person who could step into the family kitchen and in short time send out to the company for Sunday dinner fried chicken, hot biscuits, Boston baked beans and other things fit to eat, that the company would enjoy. We will wager, even on the limited knowledge at hand, that the preacher of the church where Calvin and the young lady did their worshipping was always glad of an invitation to Sunday dinner at the Goodhue home. We would not wrong the lady for a million bucks or any other sum, but judging from the formid- able appearance of the First Mother-in-Law of the Land in the picture presented to the public, we have a better understanding of why Calvin Gool- idge is a man of few words. : , Coolidge’s Chance It is noted that quite a number of people writing to the newspapers as well as some gentlemen in public life ask that the general public give Calvin Coolidge a chance. All these kind friends may aa well save their breath and hush their worry for Calvin Coolidge will take his chance. He always has and has been fairly lucky at it. If any man in the public eye today has worn a necklace of horseshoes about his neck from the time he became # candidate for the town council back in Northamp ~ ie ton up to the present moment, we are of the opin- ion that it has been Calvin Coolidge. His life has been a succession of victories. He has always succeeded in securing good big major- ities for every office for which he became a can- didate. And what is more after he landed the of- fice hoe filled it and had his way in the adminis- tration of it. He really don’t need much of a chance. The chance has generally presented itself, all he had to do was to take advantage of it. When it is recalled that he has risen fromn a town councilman to president of the United States in about twenty-five years, why all the uneasiness about giving him his chance? He has the very best chance, at this moment of his whole life, and rest assured the chance will be seized upon and the results will be to the benefit of the nation and to the glorification of Calvin Coolidge. . Johnson's Lost Opportunity But for a streak of peevishness at being unable to convince the Republican National Convention in June of 1920, that has was the right man to name for the presidency, Hiram Johnson, and not Calvin | Coolidge would be president of the United States today. + , Johnson, of course, is not talking about what might have been, but some of his close friends have been making remarks to the effect that the irony of fate has made a deep impression on his mind in the last few days. If he had looked into the stern possibilities of the future that night in the Blackstone Hotel when he had the vice presidency laid in his lap, and tempered with a dash of cool reason the huff that was in his heart, he would be realizing now his life long ambition to steer the ship of state from the White House. The stormy events attending the elimination of the candidates at Chicago, the trades and combina- tions and the shadows of dark horses that flitted across the convention hall as it became more ap- parent that the leaders in the first balloting could not compose their differences, are being recalled. From one and all Johnson had the assurance that if he would give them his support he could have the vice presidenecy, but to one and all went firm rejection. Wood, who was leading, and Lowden, who was next, undertook to cinch the nomination by extract- ing an agreement from the California progressive leader. And finally Harding, when his name had swept the convention, was reported to have tendered the offer. A word of one syllable was all that was necessary. Harding and his friends—the leaders who put him over—were ready to balance the ticket with a Progressive. They preferred Johnson to Coolidge, feeling that the latter would subject the party to dangerous criticism as being too much of a reac- tionary. | Johnson and Borah said they could not see it, jand that decision cost Johnson what fate has de- \livered to Coolidge. Running as second man on a presidential ticket would not have been a new experience. He was Roosevelt’s term mate in 1912 when the Bull Moose Sought to carry the country. Roosevelt himself owed the presidency to accepting the nomination for viee president with McKinley in 1900, having failed to land the presidential nomination. Hiram Johnson now, instead of having to cog- ‘itate from the outset on plans for 1924, would be on Be inside track with all the advantages of the | field. Bound (Together This commonwealth is one. We are all members |of one body. The welfare of the weakest and the welfare of the most powerful are inseparably bound tegether. Industry cannot flourish if labor languish. Transportation cannot prosper if manu- |factures decline. The general welfare cannot be | provided for in any one act, but it is well to remem- ber that the benefit of one is the benefit of all and the neglect of one is the neglect of all. The suspension of one man’s dividends is the suspen- sion of another man’s pay envelope.—Calvin Cool- idge. What Is An American Name? “Henry Ford’s Dearborn Independent complains editorially that opposition to prohibition in New York is closely allied to racial, religious and pol- tical interests,” states the Chicago Tribune: “It attributes the indictment of W. H. Anderson, New York state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon | league, to these interests, and asscrts that the ac- tion “would be entitled to much more respect if op- posed to Mr. Anderson there could be found one of- ficial with an American name.” “Such a complaint moves us to wonder just what is an American name, in Mr. Ford’s opinion. Is ‘Theodore Roosevelt’ American or Holland Dutch? Is ‘Bernard Baruch’ American or Spanish Jew? Is ‘Adolphe Valery Coco, the Louisiana official who obtained some fame in the Mer Rouge Ku Klux |cases American or French or Spanish or Portu- guese? Is ‘Mr. Klingenschmidt, formerly vice presi- dent of the Ford company, American or German? Is ‘Eddie Rickenbacker,’ America’s ace of aces in the great war, American or German? “Read through the list of special writers in Mr. Ford's own paper: A. R. Pinci, Paul Bowernan, William McGarry, Earl Christmas, Thomas J. Ma- lone, H. R. Mosant. Are those American names? Look over the roster of the big league baseball club's names of expert players of the distinctive American game of baseball. Note, among others, | Mostil, Schalk, Ovengros, Hauser, Rommel, Manush, |Gazella, Ezzeil, Ehmke, Coveleskie. Are those American names? Read history, read the advertise- ments, read the sociay register, read “Who's Who in America.” What names are American? “Probably they all are. Many of them are names of men who are descended from long lines of American citizens. The name may reflect | ancestry, but it is no evidence of any lack of Amer. icanism. “The name of the district at who ob- tained the indictment of Anderson Pecora. Perhaps he is of Spanish ancestry; wo do not know, But we do know that he is an eri. can citizen, and his name is therefore an American name, Is Mr. Ford writing every citizen of this country, srt the Anglo-Saxons, off the roster of Americans “We axk the question without personal animus, We are heartily in favor of Ford as a manufac turer of cheap automobiles and tractors, We be- lieve he makes excellent ones for the money. We | believe 0 that when he assails an American pub- jlic officiul for lncking a name which is of the same antecedents ns “Ford,” he revealy that in states- munship he jw a rare mechanic.” Che Casper Daily Tribune Fatal Hunting Accident | ROCK SPRINGS—Frank Berger, Rock Springs butcher, 25 years of| age, was fatally wounded about 6 o'c'ock Sunday morning while hunt- ing with a party of companions. He left here about 5 o'clock in the morn- ing with several friends, their dest!- nation being the ranch property of the Superlor Livestock company. When about 48 miles out of town and two miles off the Big Sandy bridge, one of the party spied a covey of chickens and the members of the party immediately left the car, guns in hand, to bag their game. Berger was the first to leave the auto and a member of the party in getting out of the car accidentally struck the trig- ger of his gun on the side of the car, exploding the weapon and the charge hitting Berger under the left knee. First afd was quickly administered and the patient was hurried to the residence of Banks Brady at Eden, where the injured man was given fur- ther attention. It was decided to rush Berger to town, and the patient was/| landed in the local hospital early Sun-| day morning. Surgeons found it nec-| essary to amputate the leg close to! the hip joint, and the patient died from the shock early Monday night. SS ee Senator Meeks Injured | NEWCASTLE—While at his grad- ing camp on the new state highway to the south of Newcastle, Commodore| Meeks, state senator from Weston county, was quite badly brulsed and suffered two brokn ribs when a team! of horses became unmanageable and threw both Mr. Meeks and the driver of the rig to the ground.

To Employ Three Hundred | ROCK SPRINGS—Following close- ly the announcement that the Union Pacific Coal company would from now on keep thetr miners employed six days each week, is the more important ; news that they will shortly open up @ new mine that will give employment to 300 additional men. After the lull of the summer months this is indeed encouraging news and will be received with hearty acclaim by the business men of the town. Workmen are now erecting a new 200-ton dump tipple at No. 4 mine, near which point a new mine Is also being opened. Work will be rushed to completion as fast as possible and coal will be mined from the new work- ings in the early fall. Ready for Business ROCK SPRINGS—The new tipple} started by the Megeath Coal company} about three months ago has been| completed and coal will soon be rush- ing through the screens and into the| cars. The new equipment added to} this mine is of the most approved type and is electrically operated throughout, affording the largest ton-| nage consistent with its capacity. The expenditures made in the way of new improvements will aggregate over $100,000 and makes this property one of the most modern and up-to-date, in the district. The work was super-| vised by Superintendent R. S. Rob-| bins, a mining engineer well-known | in the western coal industry. Restoring the Bridges! ROCK SPRINGS—Thoe state high-| way department has sent a force of| men up to restore the three bridges! on the Big Piney washed out two) Weeks ago by the flood. The ruined bridges are of concrete and the large concrete s'abs that formed the road-' way are in the stream or on the banks and are undamaged. It is the intention to use these slabs for the restored bridges as far as possible, as they represent a heavy expendl- ture. Where this !s found impossible wooden bridges will be built of a per- manent character, and most of the timber !s close at hand. The ruined bridges were strong and handsome structures, but it was never expected that they would ever have to meet such @ mighty flood as recently came down. Busy Bee Dining Room Close In—163 N.

One hundred degrees in the shade or ten below zero, meat deliveries to your retailer go steadily on, so that you may be assured of just the kind and quality of meat that you desire. No city is so far removed from live stock production that it cannot receive its regular supply of fresh meats. Compare this with the meat supply of thirty or forty years ago. Summer weather then meant salt or pickled meats im the country, and a limited variety of fresh meats in most cities. Refrigeration, developed by scientists, has made it possible for Swift & Company, and other packers, to prepare fresh meats and ship them long distances in refrigerator cars, so that today, without regard to heat or cold, meat reaches your dealer fresh, clean, and wholesome. In addition to the fresh meats thus avail- able, Swift & Company prepares a variety of tempting meats for hot weather: Swift’s Premium Cooked Ham, mild and sweet, smoked over hard wood fires, is always delicious. Swift’s Premium from our mod- ern sanitary kitchens, offer a choice blending of meats and spices. Swift's Sausage Specialties and Swift's Dry Sausage, ready to serve, help lighten the housewife’s summer task. In addition to these, a score of other Summer Specialties are made available by Swift & Company's research and develop- ment work. Our profit from all sources averages only a fraction of « cent a pound. Swift & Company, U. S A. Do You Gamble in Expense Accounts? Some business men do. They send a high- salaried salesman out on the road, betting his railroad fare, his Pullman ticket, his salary and his hotel bill that the man he wants to see will be in when he arrives, That’s where the bulk of selling costs are. But there are lots more business men who telephone first. If the deal can’t be closed by Long Distance they at least know whether the salesman will see his prospect. The high cost of personal interviews can be cut down by the use of the telephone. And the cost of the telephone can Re cut down by the use of the lower rates.
