The Restiveness of Cuba Charging that a bill introduced in the Cuban congress by a member, Taraffa, is confiscatory, ,| drug, but so are calomel, Epsom salts and castor faith and love and respect and honor. Homes rep- resenting the people of a great country. The people who are the government. While our government rests there, no power can shak it. Here is the home as the poet pictures it and which is the real cor- ner stone of our American greatness. “At night returning, every labor sped; He sits him down, the monarch of a shed; Smiles by his cheerful fire, and round surveys His children’s looks, that brighten at the blaze; While his loved partner, boastful of her hoard, Displays her cleanly platter on the board. —Goldsmith. A Safe Stimulant Coffee, as we all know gets plenty of attention j from cranks and savants, mostly the former, and a large proportion of them are advocating some sub- stitute which possesses all the characteristics which coffee does not, and none that it does possess. ‘The majority of the ardent advocates are agitated about the caffein which coffee contains to a greater or lesser degree and which is a quality of that bev- erage as indispensible to its perfection as fat glob- | ules are to milk. Oaffeinless coffee is on a par with sikmmed milk, and no one likes either as a steady diet. As is usually the case the anti-coffee drinking jenthusiasts mistake the shadow for the substance. | Theirs is the duty to inject the reform which shall prevent the frazzled nerves from snapping asunder, and they do not hesitate to place coffee “fiends” on parity with drug addicts. Caffein they say is a oil drugs, because the Pharmacopoeia says so in every country, except Persia and the Caucausus where castor oil is used as a food. The fact that tastes differ in this respect at least does not alter |the fact. The same holds for the caffein in coffee |as a beverage, it is an accidental and to say the |least an advantageous quality. We take the bever- |age and the drug and drink coffee not so much be- | cause of its caffein as because of its taste and in- cidentally because of the physiological effect of the caffein. and that the proposed confiscation has not even the merit of being for a public purpose or in the| public interest, an American law firm has filed a brief in the state department asking that appro-) priate action be taken by this government. | The attorneys claim that the bill is “unnecessary, | uneconomic and destructive of essentiol rights of | American citizens;” that it would eliminate lines | und seaports controlled by Americans; and that its | sponsor, Taraffa, is said to be a larg> stockholder) in the Yerrocarril del Norte (Northern railroad) | and other lines in Camaguey Province. The attor-| neys also state that a majority for the bill has | been assured—even sufficient votes to pass it over a presidential veto. The bill provides for a railroad consolidation and privately owned railroads in municipal dis- tricts where “consolidated railroads” operate may not be opened to public service or extended, except | they join the consolidation. Twenty-five Cuban ports are classified as “national” and all rights| to import and export from all other ports in Cuba} are abrogated and concessions relating thereto an nuiled. The bill contains a privision for payment to} the government of 60 per cent of net profits of the) consolidated company in excess of 6 per cent on| the stock, but no limit is put upon the amount of stock to be issued. “It is not the purpose of this memorandum to argue the iniquities, moral political or economic, of this bill except insofar as they directly affect | our clients,” says the attorneys’ brief. “The eco nomic effort of closing many of the best natural ports in Cuba to further growth or development; | the destruction of enormous property values in those ports and in railroads serving them; the loss of occupation to the populations living in those ports, large in the aggregate; the diverting of earn- ed millions from the industry to serve no economic} purpose but to go so largely to one individual and in no part to the government or back to the pro ducers of those millions, the cane growers and man- ufacturers of sugar, are matters largely political ; and beyond the scope of this memorandum.” Ouba has been exceedingly restive for some time, | and reports of all sorts have emanated from that | territory indicating dissatisfaction with what some, are pleased to term American interference with | their sovereignty, but what has really been the American policy ever since we gave the islands {nil. Dr. | learned that a lot of fake stock selling concerns are their freedom of certainteeing sound government. Matters in Cuba have reached such a pass that the American ambassador to that country, General | Enoch Crowder, is now in Washington conferring | with the secretary of state on the entire situation. | and it is entirely probable that a showdown will| come in the very near future and Cuba will be told where she stands. There could be no disposition on the part of the | United States to interfere with Cuban autonomy or | to subordinate her interests to our own, but we still | stand for the Platt amendment and the rights of American citizens doing business in Cuba. Recognition of Mexico has been withheld because of the high-handed procedure of the Mexican goy ernment with respect to American property in that} country. The protection of American rights abroad is-a cardinal tenet of the present administration | ind it is not likely to make any exception of Cuba. The Hearthstone and Plain Virtues | When Calvin Coolildge was officially notified at Northampton, Mussachusetts, that he had been| nominated by his party for the office of vice presi-| dent of the United tes, he closed his address of | 1eceptence with these words | “We have taking counsel together concern va. We have spent much time discussing the affairs of government yet most of the great concourse of people around ‘me hold no public office, expect to hold no public office. Still in solemn truth they are the government, they | are America. We shall search in vain in legisla tive halls, executive mansions, and the chambers | of the judiciary for the greatness or the govern-| ment of our country. We shall behold there but a/ reflection, not a reality; successful in proportion | to its accuracy. In a free republic a great govern ment is the product of a great people. They will look to themselves rather than government for suc cess. The destiny, the greatness of America lies | around the hearthstone. If thrift and industry are} taught there, and the example of self sacrifice oft | s, if honor abide there, and high ideals, if | re the building of fortune be subordinate to the} building of character. America will live in secur-| apy th ity rejoicing in an abundant prosperity and good |jJect matter was unpleasant by way of criticism) government at home, and in peace, confidence and respect abroad. If these virtues be absent there is no power that can supply these blessings. Look| well then to the hearthstone, therein all hope for America lies.” Mr. Coolidge was visualizing the kind of home he, himself, knew in his boyhood, and has since maintained in his years of maturity. The plain| wholesome ch t Ameri cans have h traning omes might call them but homes filled with simple homes in wh There is considerable satisfaction in knowing that a habit of almost universal practice, the sub- ject of adverse criticism, may receive through hon- est and trustworthy sources assurances that the deleterious effects of coffee drinking are just about @he Casper Daily Cridune A Back-Breaking Job Mendenhall of the department of physiol- | ogy of Boston university and Professor Prescott | of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology so! testify. Therefore exaggerated opinions from other | and less reliable sources are discounted. There. fore, we know as we haye always believed that caf- fein in the compartively minute quantities, that we usually take into our bodies does not constitute a danger, and does not make drug habitues of us. It would be strange that it should for it is but a short step from the caffein of coffee, and its isomer thein of tea, to the uric acid which is a by-product in normal metabolism and is continually being exe- creted in the urine. If the cells do convert amino| acids into uric acid, they certainly can do the same thing with caffein and as a matter of fact they do. Caffein does stimulate; there is no doubt of that. | Both the heart muscles and the highest cerebral | centers are affected by it. It does not permanently injure them even in large quantities, and although it is conceded that coffee, like candy, can be abused, anything immoderately consumed is detrimental. Coffee is not only extremely palatable but the caffein contained in it is a safe stimulant. Beware the Fakir If you have read the newspapers lately you have in the toils. Being prosecuted by federal and state governments for their fraudulent transactions. You can scarcely help knowing that many of these companies pay dividends to encourage stock buying, and to make a false showing of prosperity and solvency. These questionable organizations pay out divi- dends for a, time until the stock is sold and the pro- moters have lined their pockets from high salaries, expense accounts, stock bonuses which they have sold while the selling is good and other methods of bleeding the treasury. Dividends paid in such cases usually come from payments made by stockholders and not from earn- ed profits. These crooked schemes could not be successful and people robbed if citizens would use ordinary caution and seek the advice of bankers and repui- able investment houses which are only too glad to assist in safeguarding the public, They know that money saved from fraudulent schemes finds its way into productive channels and makes better times for everybody. You Should Know _ The tariff is blamed for a lot of things for which it is not responsible. For one illustration witness Sugar. While the price in our country was blamed to the tariff, the price in Canada and foreign coun- tries was as high or higher. When sugar prices are above cost of production in this country, the tariff\does not prevent foreign shipment at cut price if foreign producers care to make the drop. But the tariff does prevent the wiping out of our domestic beet sugar industry under abnormally low price conditions when the foreigner could ship in here below the cost of pro- duction. For the slightly higher price we have to pay un- der such conditions, we have the benefit of a| domestic sugar industry which saves us from be- | ing wholly at the mercy of foreign producers. The Press’ Freedom A decision recently rendered by the court of New York will have a far-reachi ence upon the freedom of the press. The Buffalo Evening News published matter which the council of that city alleged annoyed and| harassed certain officials, The city council moved for an order directing editors of the paper to ap-| pear and answer regarding articles concerning cer. tain conditions of the city, Justice Marcus refused the writ, saying: “I dm strongly impressed with the view that it would be unwise to heckle and annoy the press. If every article subjected them to an examination that | would harass and annoy them, whenever the sub- supreme ng influ-| Family Reunion EVANSTON.—Mr. and Mrs. Wil- lam Pugh of this city, are rejoicing in a prospective reunion of their family this week, one daughter, Mrs. Mabel Carlton is now here from Ari- zona, another daughter, Mra. Hattie Paca, has arrived from Canton, Ohio, and their only son, Emerson Pugh, is expected Sunday morning from Pittsburgh, Penn., which will com: plete the family group. Emerson is employed as instructor in physics in the Carnegie Technological college, from which institution he graduated with honors just before entering the navy, in which he held a commission as ensign during the latter part of the World war. Highway Grading GUERNSEY.—Grading on the high- Way west of town is completed and with another dragging or two this road will be in splendid shape. With the grading of this highway by the county the State Highway department takes it over for maintenance, assur- ing us of a good road leading to the Yellowstone highway. Commissioner Chris Hauf was here several days giving road work his personal supervision. From the road west of town the grader was taken to the read north of Sunrise where the heavy rains had ‘made the roads impassable. (Aibaeatall 2 sina ted Pump Irrigation PINE BLUFFS.—Within the last fortnight three different groups of men have been tn the Pine Bluffs dis- trict looking into the possibilities of pump irrigation here. All three groups have ysited the Cc. A. Grey plant near town and also the Earl C. Waxham farm west of town. Earl has no pumping system, but has announced that he will equip his place with a modern plant before time to irrigate next season's alfalfa The Interest shown by these men— some of them from the Fort Collins district, is gratifying. Outside capi- tal may see the golden opportunity and tie up some of our valley lands before local people get wise to the big opportunities. Jo eda Conditions Good LARAMIE.—John W. Hay, the president of the First National bank, and John Guthrie, the vice-president, who returned yesterday afternoon from a two days’ trip to Walden, re- port conditions tn North park as look- ing splendidly, The grass {s green, the weather ‘has been good, the cattle are getting fat, and Mr. Hay does not hesitate to say that he believes ranchmen and stockmen will get from $1 to $1.50 more per hundredweight for their cattle, bringing from $8 to $12 a head more than they received last year. Both gentlemen speak very hopefully of the future of thet garden spot, and predict that the stockmen will fare better than they had hoped a year ago was possible. French Commute of officials, the public would lose much, even rec ognizing the license oftentimes used.” The press is not to be denied the right of criti- | cizing public officials. A community can have no better security than a newspaper which watches the acts of public officers and holds them strictly accountable for all they do, - The newspapers guard our liberties and protect our pocketbooks. The public owes them a great deal and the interpreting the constitution, do ell to re this fact. ‘ courts Death Sentence | BERLIN, Aug. 20.—The French have commuted the death sentence | imposed on Paul Georges, alleged Ger- man saboteF convicted of dynamiting in the ocoupied zone, it was reported here tonight The report be transport sald that ¢ f to the in Cayenne es would French penal colony It Happened in Wyoming Matters and Things of State-Wide Interest, Wired in, Telephoned, Written, Grape-Vined and Some of it Purloined. about.
