Can the Gloom It seems passing ibe baad it is ay bad jiticians and not the business represen’ Laraateas from the other side of the Atlantic, that bring trunksful of gloom. Surely if there were real cause for this pessimism, others than poli. ticians would stumble across it, regardless of how hurried their visit had been. The thing of first importance in Europe or anywhere else is food, and the crops are nearly everywhere reported to be unusually good. This comes by cable and not out of the mouths of pol- iticians who are preparing for a congressional session and a presidential campaign. France will grow more wheat this year than ever before in her history. The agricultural news from Poland and Roumania and Bulgaria, also from Hungary and the other secession states is good. The outlook for the harvest in Russia and also in Germany is reported excellent. It is evi- dent, therefore that the great majority of the people in Europe are now freed from the spec- tre of starvation. They have gone to work on the soil, the great source of the production of wealth and are surely going to have enough to eat this coming winter. That fact cannot fail to be of great political significance. There will not be mobs of hungry men threatening a revolution. Added to this is the gradual drift toward com- posing the French and English dispute and a settlement of all the questions arising out of the Ruhr occupation by German cooperation through her new government. The general conditions abroad contain more of Rope than discouragement and the crepe han- gers are having a difficult time securing audi- :\s well as newspaper space. Bai atet tee at Moris furnish no nourishment at all \o revelers in gloom. There is every pros- pect of averting the threatened coal strike. La- bor i ully employed, manufacturing is occu- every department, the railroads are rreater efficiency and larger earnings than at aivy time since the blight of government direction. Business generally is prosperous and there are 2 hundred reasons for optimism to one for the other sort, All these signs of promise are, of course, con- sistent with the existence of many danger points both in international affairs and domestic con- ditions. It is no time to settle down into a com- placent but blind optimism. Business men and statesmen alike need to be on their guard against perilous tendencies. But, on the other hand, there is no justification for the fears and the cries of alarm raised by so many. When they foretell new wars worse than the worst ever known be- fore and picture civilization about to be pushed into the Pea they are open to reproach for not taking into account all the facts—especlally the most weighty ones. Merely a few of these have been indicated above, yet any one not irrevo- cably committed to despair must see that they im fy a world not given wholly to the evil one and still quite livable for the vast majority of mankind. Wagging the World ‘Away down in Yazoo City, Mississippi, John Sharp Williams for thirty years member of con- gress and United States senator from that state lives, having voluntarily retired from public life at the expiration of his senatorial term last March. The other day one of the leading south- ern newspapers wired Senator Williams for his epinion and preference in the gubernatorial con- @ext now under way in that state. His reply, after stating his preference, was: “Am out of politics; want to stay out. I shall always vote. Further than that, and what little influence the fact itself may carry with it, the mad world may wag as f will, I have had my share of its worries.” It is a matter of great regret to the millions of voters of these United States that John Sharp Williams has retired. He is a Democrat but that does not detract from his statesmanly qual- ities. He was a fighter worthy the best steel that could be brought forward from our side to match him. He was and still is a patriot. There was none of the politician about him. He stood up among the best of them and if his own party’s sition was wrong he did not go with it but la- Bared to bring it back to the path it should tread. He cannot be blamed for retiring for men of his stamp who measure up to the requirement of statesmanship are bound to feel the strain of extended service such as he rendered his country, ‘One of the discouraging things just now, how- ever, is that the world isn’t wagging to any ap- preciable extent. Its movement, if it is moving at all, is in one direction, rather than oscilla- tory. The swing seems to be toward further con- fusion, We know that, soon or late. the extreme will be reached and there will be gradual return to, sanity and order—normaley, if you Tike the term. We are not headed for the rocks—not yet. But the retirement from public life of mon “hose native ability, research and experience qualify them for leadership serves to emphasize the pub:! lic state of mind at the present time. The conflict of 19141918 was'a major opera- tion for every nation taking part in it. The vi- tality of the United States enabled the country to withstand the shock better than did the other powers, But we haven’t recovered. We are re: cuperating, and in time will be stronger than ever before. Recovery, however, will be brought about by listening to the counsel of wisdom, the counsel of those who have a grasp of world af- fair—not by heeding the advice of men poss: essed of one-track minds and restricted vision. ‘World peace and foreign trade relations are two of the problems that confront ug just now. They are rather hefty problems, but we shall solve them in time. And then the old world begin wagging again. And in getting back to desired routine, all such men as John Sharp Williams, be they Re- publication or Democrat in politics are passed if they are not among those that are to lead us back. The country bas need of these men, to make the old world wag as it should. All Since 1920 Study your “Who’s Who in America,” back of the 1920-21 edition and see what luck you have in discovering the past of Calvin Coolidge. None whatever. The previous edition to the one mentioned will contain a couple of pages of notable Coolidges and among them—Algernon, physician; Archi. bald Cary, professor; Charles Allerton, archi- tect; Charles Austin, brigadier general; Cora Helen, college dean; Dane, novelist; Emelyn Lin. coln, physician; Herbert, author; John Gardner, diplomat; Joseph Randolph, architect; Julian Lowell, professor; Louis Arthuy, ex-assistant secretary of the treasury; Mary Roberts, writer; Sherman, clergyman; Thomas Jefferson, diplo- mat; William David, physical chemist; William Henry, lawyer—but no Calvin. Then in 1920 the makers of the Red Book of accomplishment woke up and deemed Calvin Coolidge of sufficient importance to write him down upon the sacred scroll in the following manner: Coolidge, Calvin, governor; born Plymouth, Vt, July 4, 1872. Son John @. and Victoria J. (Moor) ©.; A. B. Amherst, 1895; (LLD. Am- herst, Tufts and Williams—all 1919). Studied law with Hammond& Field, Northampton, Mass. married Grace A. Goodhue at Burlington, Vt., October 4, 1905. Began practice at Northampton, 1897; president Nonatuck Savings Bank, coun- cilman Northampton, 1899; city solicitor, 1900. 01; clerk of courts, 1904; chairman Republican city committee, 1904; member General Court of Massachusetts, 1907-08; mayor of Northampton, 1910-11; member state senate, 1912-15 (president senate 1914-15); lientenant governor of Massa- chusetts, 1916-17-18; governor of Massachusetts two terms, 1919-20. Member Vermont association (Boston). Clubs: University Union (Boston). Home: 21 Massasoit street, Northampton, Mass. Calvin Coolidge has only been enrolled among the elect for a matter of three short years, still he Is the president of the United States and rul- er over a hundred and twenty odd millions of people. Others thirsting for many years for recogni- tion may take hope from this little chapter in rise from obscurity. Definition of America In the heat and the strife of the war I was asked once to give my definition of America, and I said to the men: “Lo me America is infinitely more than an aggregate of 110,000,000 men; to me America is all that the submerged races of the world wish to be and cannot; to me America is the concrete realization of what the ages have hoped for and labored for.” That was my defini- tion I gave to them, “It is a definition. It is a creed. It is a chal- lenge. God built a continent of glory and filled it with treasures untold. He carpeted it with soft rolling prairies and pillared it with thundering mountains. He studded it with soft flowing foun- tains and traced it with long winding streams. He graced it with deep shadowed forests and filled them with song. “Then he called unto a thousand peoples and summoned the bravest among them. They came from the ends of the earth, each bearing a gift and a hope. The glow of adventure was in their eyes and the glory of hope within their souls. And out of the labor of men and the bounty of earth, ont of the prayers of men and the hopes of the world, God fashioned a nation in love, blessed it with a purpose sublime and called it ‘America!’ "—Rabbi Abba Silver. Commander Reynolds It was no small honor the American Légion conferred upon Marshall Reynolds by electing him state commander at the Laramie conven- tion, by unanimous voice; it was as well an honor to the members them-<elves for having done this. Marshall Reynolds is one of the com- ing young men of the state, upstanding, clean cut, modest and worthy in every respect. He possesses all the elements of safe leadership, and the capacity to direct the affairs of the Legion along the pathway of usefulness ani honor, He will fully maintain the legion’s tige established by his predecessors, and by his wis- dom, diplomacy ant viatoa advance it to a higher place in public esteem. The action of the convention is a matter for congratulation to Commander Reynolds and to legion members, Keep to Fundamentals Individual love, honor and ct for ane’s country can never be secured where a people are too much hampered by legislative acts seek- ing to regulate every phase of human activity and where the burdens of bureaucracy crush the spirit of initiative and ambition which have been the life blood of America, In the haze of new theories tending to beclond the mind of our peo: ple, let us keep our eyes fastened to the funda: mental principles of our form of government which stand as a beacon light to guide us away from the shoals and quicksands which would submerge the indivdual in the sloughs of offi- cialdom and red tape. If our wise economists could only figure a practical way to bring the surplus wheat cro; and the empty bread baskets of the world into closer communion, instead of expounding fine spun theories of remedy in each case they would be doing a much greater work for humanity and establishing a much higher reputation for use fulnesa, - - P | semester in January. @pe Casper Daily Cribune To Deport Bootleggers SHERIDAN—Proceedings for the deportation of all Sheridan county aliens found guilty of repeated in- fractions of American laws, especial- ly the prohibition law, will be begun at once by Sheridan county law en- forcement officers, it was an- nounced Wednesday morning John W.

National Rifle Shoot SHERIDAN—Corporal William O. Wilson and Private William Curtis will represent Troop B of the 115th Wyoming cavalry, Sheridan's unit of the national guard, at the rifle shoot of the national guard to be he'd at Camp Peary, O., the first three weeks of September, it was announced Wednesday by Capt.

They’re the modern shoppers—the ones who know just what they want—how much to the method. It’s a good one. They’re the ones who realize the value—to them—of advertising. They make a practice of reading the adver- » tisements in the newspapers. Sitting at ease in their homes, they formulate their shopping programs. They note the things that interest them particularly and plan to cut out waste motion, unnecessary steps and lost time, Planned in this fashion, shopping loses its terrors. It no longer leaves you jazzy and jaded. It starts you off with a definite objective and brings you home with a feeling of something accomplished. & The advertisements are your good friends Superintendent.
