All of us are proud, and justly so, of the leadership, both moral and financial, now enjoyed by this great democracy. As we look back upon 1776 when the thirteen small colonies of Great Britain fought for and gained their independence, as we follow along the pages of history and see the phenomenal growth of this country, from the small strip of Atlantic seaboard, gradually expanding west- ward, until today it comprises forty-eight states stretching from Maine to California, we ought to ask ourselves this question: How was all this accomplished, and what are we doing today to preserv and further this great prosperi and well-being? Our histories tell us that from the time of its inception in 1776 this country has been the haven of refuge for the oppressed and downtrodden of all lands—a place where all men, of whatever race, creed, or color, have an equal chance to share in the mainfold blessings of Providence. 'This is true enough, but the mere fact that these good people have come from other lands to in- habit our country did not in itself make us what we are tod Our present glorious position is due to the industry and thrift of our forbears— industry and thrift have made this country great and industry and thrift alone will keep this country great. But as we look about us and see on all sides signs of wanton extravagance and fast living, as we see the growing tendency to take things easy and let the future take care of itself, it be- hooves us to pause awhile and ask ourselves this question: What will become of this We ought all to be optomists, we ought all to face the future with a smile, but we should never allow ourselves to be blinded to the truth. If we wish to be prosperous, if we wish to avoid hard times and panics, if we wish to keep this country the brightest, the happiest, the most cherished spot on the face of the earth, we must work, we must save, we must carry on the spirit of those who by their industry and thrift have earned for us the great leadership we now enjoy. Passing of the Derby Go into a hat store in any part of the country these days and the first thing that engages your attention is the almost total absence of the once popular “dert You may inquire and the information will be that for quite sometime past the “soft” hat has been gaining in popularity over the “hard” one and now about ninety-five per cent of the sales are of the former sort. So marked has been the change in taste for men’s headgear that the better shops are not placing in stock the goods the public apparently does not want and man ufacturers have taken the cue and are discon tinuing the “hard” hat from regular stock num bers and make it up only on special orders. The “talf hat” once so: popular with men, professional men and the clergy is as rare in this country today as it is abroad. About the only occasion nowadays when this hat is brought from its hiding place is on the occasion of the funeral of a brother Elk. The derby is fast join ing its brother the silk hat to that oblivion from which no hat returns. Not much beauty can be claimed for any kind of modern headgear for men, but the soft felt hat does have some possibilities of grace and pic- turesqueness and certainly it is more comfort- able than any of its rigidly unyielding rivals. The associations, as yet, are perhaps a bit care- less—even “Bohemian”—but these are disappear: ing. As always, what “everybody” does or wears is right, and the soft hat soon will have that claim to general approval and respect. Thus will be vindicated the taste of the westerners for their Stetson and the Southerners for their Southern Planter, not one of whom has ever dreamed of covering himself with anything except the ac comodating and compionable “slouch Thus, too, does the age progress from mere convention to good sense, and the public dem onstrate, its power to coerce the it will. alers when Ann Insidious Growth Men of vision, knowled preciation of human natur time e of history, and ap have from time to warned the country of the trend toward centralization in government and the growth of bureaucracy drifting away from the and the form of t fc inders langer’ thy er limet out by Att General Crim, irea ure assistant orney states: | mtly in language which leaves no doubt in meaning to all patriots and well-wishers of the republic. Mr, Crim said: “Most emphatically it may be said that the en- tire structure of the federal government has its | foundation on local self-government. For many years there has been a powerful current of po litical opinion flowing through our society, de- vitalizing local government under authority of the state, and saddling police responsibility on the federal government that is essentially the function of local government. Dlligical and in- consistent with our customs, our traditions and our form of government, this clamor for congress to invade state sovereignty is impairing the fun- damentals on which American civilization rests. It permits the citizen to avoid, community re- sponsibility and it places a burden on the federal government which it cannot carry. In a quiet, creeping and persistent way, year by year, it is creating a bureaucracy at V hington which in time will know no master. “The responsibility for the enforcement of laws pertaining to intoxicating liquor, larceny in interstate commerce, the dissemination of ob- scene literature, fraud by stock selling schemes, the distribution of narcotics, larceny and embez- zlement from state banks, belonging to the fed- eral reserve system and many other similar laws now rests on the federal government. The depart- ment of justice is staggering under the load im- | posed by such police laws—laws that in all com- mon sense in the broad scope they now cover invade to an unjustified extent the natural scope of state sovereignty. “T doubt if anyone knows within any fair de- gree of approximation how many federal detec- tives we have. Their classification on the pay- rolls of the several departments and bureaus precludes their identification without detailed study of their duties. It will suffice to say that there are thousands of them; that the task of managing them is one that would have made the founders of this Republic shudder.” “A bureaucracy at Washington which in time will known no master,” is a danger indeed. There are even now under the government commissions, bureaus, boards and auxiliaries that know “no master.” They are answerable to no one. so far as can be determined, for any of their official acts, and the only way to negative them is through an appeal to the courts. Certain branches of the federal service are helpless in the grip of these extra-constitutional bodies. A halt should be called and our steps directed batk to safety. Coolidge and Labor Labor leaders who have come into personal contact with Calvin Coolidge, even in the strife engendered through disagreement with their em- ployers, have said of him, that he is one of the fairest men they ever knew and they would tru him to the limit in any matter in which the were concerned. The reason for this confiden: is because of his record where labor was inter- ested and because of his life-long attitude of sympathy with labor. His understanding is best expressed in what he said at Charlotte, North Carolina in a public address which was: “America is a land of work. Therein is her glory. It is a land of steady toil in «imp, mine, in shop, and in field. From the day o' organization the Republi ) licitous for the true welfare of honest to: and where it could act to secure better cong for the people it has done so, will do so. But it I hes no delusions that any change in the ion of society could relieve the people from the necessity of work. The rules of nature cannot be set We e ever exalted work, whether of the head or hand. The old Europe sharply differentiated between its peoples and establish ¢ their rank and soc position by the an party has been so- When kind work performed. We have and si:all have no such artificial standard here. We shall strive to obtain equality of opportunity in education and in work, not forgetting to reward perfor. mance when well done and to assist it with crit- icism when badly done. We shall expect that for a full day's wage, which shall be based upon the possibilities of business, there shall be a full ’s work and equal pay for equal service; and we shall insist that because the physical vig- or of the people is essential to the state, that the hours and conditions of labor shall be such as to assure vitality and to promote health and that proper and adequate housing be provided. We shall seek to place our wage earners in a posi tion of economic safety and put them in the way of treatment as the partners of enterprise anid of government, Our ideal must be one for all and all for one. And we must work together in closer union. Just as we have found it advantageous for combinations of capital to bargain, so shall we find it advantageous to permit combinations of w arners to bargain. We may enact laws fixin hours, conditions of labor. But these ts will be worthless unless there bo work and unless we work. Wages can inc as y are earned. When not earned ' capital disaster is at hand.” but The Coolidge Brevity citurnity seems to be the outstanding so cial trait of Calvin Coolidge. Notable, more often in generals than in statesmen. The great Spart- an lawn r, Lycurgus, was so famous for terse speech that he is remembereed to this day in the adjective “laconic” Julius Caesar's “Veni, vidi, vici,” lives as another classic example of con- densed expression. Napoleon’s addresses to his army rarely exceeded one compressed paragraph. When Pershing landed in France he said it ull in four words—“Lafayette, we are here.” Tt must be admitted that taciturnity has had dis- tinguished associates and can furnish excellent references. Such letters from Calvin Coolidge ‘hs have found their way into public print are remark able for their brevity on the other hand they are in no sense cryptic, but in terseness, in fe ing, in completeness, are comparable to Lincoln's jettysbu as the most finished model of composition in the English language. Tn fact, the words that are best remembered meaning. Coolidge’s taciturnity is of that char- acter. The fewer the words the greater the im- pression of sincerity and force, and the larger the promise of reserve power. Bacon's essays are ar out of pl and longest 7 re in a president of the United States, Mr. Coolidge is fortunate in having cultivated brevity of speech if it proves, as it should ldress, which is generally regarded | are few in number but replete with | lustration. These virtues are in no senso | Che Casper Daily Cridune NEWS OF SALT Bart Knight, deputy and night watchman at the Gas Plant Mr. of the Midwest Refining company, returned this week with his family from Denver where they have been visiting relatives, Their son Ethan enters school at Salt Creel next week, They were on the train following the one wrecke¢ near Greeley and had to back up atl de- tour in order to reach Casper.
