Predict No Strike Those who come from conferences with President Coolidge freely predict that there will be no coal strike. He sees the men of both sides, operators and miners’ representatives; and the president’s fair- ness and firmness are at once to be seen. That is one reason for the predictions that in the ap- proaching settlement between the miners and op- tors it is expected that amicable and equitable ions will rule. Enforcement of the law and protection to the public as well as open and fair treatment for the men employed and justice to the operators is exactly what may be expected from the president. Radicalism, Bolshevism and any side of Americanism will receive from Mr. Cooldige. He has quently on these things to leave doubt as to his attitude. Like all other thorough-going Americans Mr. Coolidge is a true friend of organized labor and} desires its prosperity and well-being but he connot and will not abide disloyal assaults upon American institutions by irresponsible radicals who may be temporarily the spokesmen for labor or any other interest. Labor has done a large work, on its own account, | to rid itself of radicals and undesirables, which | element is bound to creep into all organizations. This sort of membership, while it is unteachable, should be allowed to count only in numbers, and | then kept in the ranks, not in places of leadership. | Labor's misunderstandings with employers would | be largely visionary were this policy adhered to| more scrupulously. No War at Hand It is refreshing if nothing else to have Dr. Nich- olas Murray Butler, president of Columbia, return home from Europe and tell us that there is about as inuch chance of another war breaking in Europ: ux there is on Fifth avenue in his home town, This is cheering, for we have had but lately a flock of returning American statesmen bringing tidings of direful eventualties on the other side. The doctor does not say so but ordinary obser- ution teaches that if the economic condition of represented by most of the countries | none of them are in position to buy| dding for a shot gun, let alone financing a war) any kind. Why is it that most folks, and especially public folks like statesmen, must spread a lot of bull ou their return from a trip from home, It is be cause they want to impress those who have not made a hurried trip abroad, that they have learned | something new, something that has escaped the ob-, servation of everybody else? Doctor Butler must be right, and the alarmists wrong. The doctor is not required to stir up voting constituencies for re-e! ion and is more likely to see clearer than the others. However, aud in any event, we are all justified in pursuing the even tenor of our way until the war “busts loose.” Sam RaASss other ism ont-| scant courtes, been tried out too fre- The “One greay le ‘armers’ Compensation with our agriculture is the inter and often aggressive individualism of the American farmer. at is part of our heritage as and it is more cherished by our farm- ny other element in our population. is paid out for labor necessary to make the trans- portation possible.” From the census bureau’s summary of manufac- tures for 1921 compared with 1914 it is learned that while the number of establishments increased but three per cent the amount paid out in salaries and wages increased over one hundred per cent, and this took into consideration only the “labor con- tent” to which Mr. Legge refers. The value of the products in 1914 was about $24,000,000,000. As- suming that labor accounted for sixty per cent of that value then, this would mean $14,400,000,000. The value of products in 1921 was nearly $44,000,- 000,000. With labor accounting for eighty per cent this would mean $35,000,000,000, or two and a half times the 1914 figure. A ton of coal or iron has only potential value at the mine. The most constructive movement under way at the present time for the relief of the farmer is the development of co-operative marketing. This is Mr. Legge’s belief as well as the belief of many other forward looking men and friends of agricul- ture. Wives Will Smile Charged with the illegal possession and sale of liquor, a Philadelphia woman entered no denial of the crimes imputed, but made what turned out to have been a sufficient plea that—she had a hus- band. She did not claim the husband had done the selling and possessing—she simply cited an “ancient law” and demanded the assumption under it that, as her transgression was with the hus- band’s knowledge and consent, he must have exer- cised over her a coercion which she could not re- sist. That there is or was such a law,is undeniable Not many months ago in England it saved from a prison sentence a wife who had assisted a more or less aristocratic husband in swindling out of con- siderable amounts of money some of their too trust- ing friends. Here in the United States, however, in practice there is little coercion of wives by hus. hands, and to bring up this old rule would seem an absurdity anywhere except in court. Amiable feminists of the country will be espe- cially scornful of the Philadelphia woman’s pro- cedure, and there will be nothing uncertain about the things they will say of her. And the husband of the bootleggeress? Could he not have cited some even more ancient law to the effect that when a woman will she will, and that’s the end on't? A Safe Adviser Don’t worry about Frank W. Stearns of Boston, who is in Washington on a brief visit to his very close friend Calvin Coolidge. Mr. Stearns is not a politician, neither does he want any public office for himself or for friends. He is simply a shrewd nd successful business man, a believer in and devoted friend and backer of Mr. Coolidge. A man whose advice is to be trusted whether in politics or the great business of conducting the United States. We are certain that any disinterested advice the Boston merchant would offer to a life-long friend would be sounder than that attempted to be en- forced by self-seeking members of political fac- tions. Mr. Stearns is just as level-headed in private and public matters and just as firm for the right as Mr. Coolidge, so there is no cause for disturbance in any of the political roosts, if these two old friends talk over the good of the union with a view of keeping conditions good. Free and Impartial The relations between Great Britain and Franco are becoming more and more strained in conse- quence of the French policy toward German repar- ations and collateral questions arising therefrom. The two powers are far from being in accord and no one knows what may develop out of the pres- ent situation. The position of this country can lily be imagined were it a member of the league ions and forced to take a stand on the dif. ficulties that keep those two governments apart. Thanks to our fundamental doctrine of non-en tanglement, we are free to maintain relatiens of the friendliest character with both the English and the French. In this we are holding true to our traditions and Highway LUSK—Some 450 head of cattle were driven over the state highway, known as the Lusk-Newcastle road, Saturday and according to one of the men working for the state highway department, caused a great amount of damage as this road has been newly graded and put in excellent shape this summer. That number of cattle traveling over the grades wore the sides off, causing the road to be much narrower than when it was completed and greatly in- creasing the danger of accidents. It is said that there is an old county road about a mile east of the state road which has never been graded and which would make much easier trav- eling for cattle and incidentally save the state a lot of money which will be needed to repair the damage. No doubt, if the matter were only brought to the minds of those trailing cattle to town, they would be glad to use the county road. The high way has been in fine shape all the latter part of the summer and a joy to those traveling it. A Bear Story CODY—Can you beat it? Riding a bucking bear with a Cadillac car for a saddle is the newest tale to come out of Yellowstone park, The bear won for it bucked the car off the road and carried it down a gully sixty feet where it found release and hotfooted it for the woods. Holdup bears in nature's wonderland are common sights. ‘The niother bear walks across the road in front of the ear and stands up, refusing to give the right of way until some tidbit is thrown from the car for its dinner. But it remained for a New York party to get a thriller last week when they didn't slow up enough and ran right over bruin, pinning her under the car. Giving a roar worse than Earl Pully's big bass horn the animal raised up and started off the road carrying the car. The screaming and yelling of the New Yorkers attract- ed attention of other parties who had come up and the passengers were hastily transferred. Mrs. Bear made haste slow but’ surely and took the car down an incline to a gully which gave her clearance and | she got away, leaving the front wheels on one side of the ditch and the hind wheels on the other. The car was uninjured. No one took the trouble to examine the bear to see if { was hurt. Second Recent Injury SHERIDAN—C. H. Walker, former night police chief of Sheridan, who was basking “Heinie’ Kerr in his 12- hour walk to Buffalo Wednesday for a wager of $100 with Owen Moore, stepped out of his automobile about 10 miles north of Buffalo on a small loose rock which rolled and threw him to the ground, resulting in a badly fractured right leg. The accident occurred about 2 o'clock. Dr. E. R. Schunk was called and a car was sent for the injured man, and he was brought back to Sheridan, arriving about 10 o'clock Wednesday night. After the injured leg was set he was taken to a room in the hotel rma. It was the intention of Dr. Schunk to have an x-ray picture made ‘thursday afternoon or Friday morn- ing to determine the extent of the fracture, as it is feared the knee cap may have been split. Mr. Walker had just recovered trom the fal effects of an accident at Round-up, Montana which resulted in breast bone and shoulder at was on June 3, when a sar in which he and others was riding was overturned. It has not been more than a week, Mr. Walker said Thursday since he regained the free use of his right shoulder.

Our company has a rule that a customer who pays his electric bill within ten days after the date of the bill will be given a discount of'ten percent. That is to encourage prompt payment of the bills and save the expense of collecting them. Suppose Mr. A comes in the office one day late for the discount, notwithstanding his tardiness. Suppose he was given the bene- fit of the discount. He might go his way satisfied. Suppose again, Mr. B was one day late for his discount and when he paid his bill he took it for granted the rule applied and paid the full amount of the bill. He might go his way satisfied. The company would have committed a wrong to Mr. A and Mr. B and itself. Should Mr. A give the matter any further thought he would conclude the Natrona Pow- er Company was unfair and dishonest in the matter of discounts and if it is unfair in that regard would it be unfair and dishonest in other dealings with its customers. If Mr. B learned that Mr. A was allowed a discount under the same conditions which he was not, he would know the company was dis- hls and would be Justified in so advertis- ng it. Fs This company cannot afford to be dis- honest. A totes Soe oP g 223 Natrona Power Co. SSE Day at Lloyd’s drug store.
