The Old Spirit Rises The great American republic was founded upon reyolt. Remonstrance against regulation by a lot of aristocratic nonenties at a distance, against taxation without having a sitting mem- ber of the board, against the prescription of a certain brand of tea when we preferred some: thing else, against having a lot of hired soldiers quartered upon us, and a thousand other large and small ills under which we, having for a time enjoyed a certain freedom from regulation, had deemed onerous, unfitting and altogether repugnant to members of the well-known human race, of which we were individual units. From the day upon which we decided to no longer conceal our views with respect to those who were directing what they conceived to be our welfare and to offer criticism of their at- titude toward our business, our morals, our pleasures and our general daily walk and de. portment, the spirit has lived in the descendants of those old heroes and been handed down as a precious heirloom and cherished as the “Spirit of 76.” Ever and anon, from most unexpected portions of this broad and prosperous land, this same old spirit becomes manifest, When in the course of public events in acts of legislation, of public, quasi-public or voluntary, bodies, groups or blocs, seek too minutely to prescribe our morala, our fashions, our appetites, our religious and political faith, the color of our hair and pat- tern of our socks and neckties, the spirit of 76 is bound to rise, and a new Declaration of Inde- pendence is promulgated, and the autocratic hand of the self appointed and self annointed is rudely brushed from the shoulder upon which it has been laid. The latest instance of the old spirit comes from the town of Somerset in the land of Wil- liam Penn. The spirit was revived on the filing of a petition to the school board by the Parent- Teacher association of that thriving community, the object and prayer of the petition being to forbid rolled stockings and sleeveless dresses in the public schools. It mattered little that the petition represented but a small minority of the parents and scarcely any of the teachers, it was an invidious invasion of American rights, an encroachment upon the liberties of both school teachers and school girls and therefore contra- yened the constitution of the United States. The school teachers and high school girls were not seeking to enforce their notions of fashion upon the Quakerish parents of that organization, they desired simply to exercise their constitu- tional rights in the pursuit of life, liberty and the exposition of pulchritude. In the campaign and public discussion that ensued and in which most people took part to determine an outcome favorable to their own view in the premises, a high school girl of poetic tendencles contributed this couplet as defining her notion of her sacred American rights and liberties: I can show my shoulders, I can show my knees; I’m a free-born American— I can show what I please. For a complete and accurate expression of the Spirit of ’76 you may go far to find a better. For the very large number of Americans who are disgusted with the present domination by an assortment of moral oligarchies it could well serve as a national anthem. It expresses an ideal perhaps not perfect, but deserving of con- siderable praise. But for the present it expresses nothing but an aspiration. The young women, who are, ob- viously free-born Americans cannot show their shoulders and knees in the town of Somerset for the school board has sided with the minority and placed a ban upon the show. And thus has an unwise public body created a large crop of rev- olutionists or bootleg; in arms and knees, Not Unprecedented Cold weather in August with frosts in the low- lying places protected from the night winds is not without precedent, but it is only with peo- ple of good memories who can recall the previous occasions when the phenomenon has been ob- served. That it should come this year in certain localities along with other meteorological novel- ties is likely to start anew foolish talk about the waning powers of the sun and that “change | in climate” which it is the delight of many peo- ple to see in or predict from anything at all unusual in the weather. This tendency is closely related to the queer fact of the sea captains who come to port in winter with tales of encountering “the worst storm in forty years at sea.” These statements | are perfectly honest in that the captains think they are telling the truth, but those “worst storms in forty years” are annual affairs, and enly illustrate the human tendency to exaggerate the near at the expense of the far—a tendency the superlatives employed in describing them by the way, that merely matches the opposite ten@@ncy to exaggerate the far at the expense of the near. That most human beings should haye both tendencies, and yield to one and the other alternately, is one of the many charming incon- sistencies that mark the raco and make it in- teresting to philosophers, Why Not Send the Boys? Young Mr. Harcourt Amory, Jr. of Beacon street, Boston, scion of an aristocratic family, has the right stuff in him. It is seldom one of his social and financial situation feels called upon to go into politics to accomplish a thing in which he earnestly believes, to take the brunt of the thing, to even contest, hand to hand with others for the favor of the people. There are so often so many easier ways to accomplish the same purpose. = He But young Mr. Amory is sincere. The o! ‘an- kee anak has arisen in him and he is willing to do and die for a friend in whom he believes. It is refreshing. And would that thousands of other young men would take a similar interest in pub- lic matters that their ancestors deemed it a priv: ilege so to do. Young Mr. Amory announces his candidacy for a delegateship to the Republican National con- yention of 1924, from the eleventh congressional district of Massachusetts, pledged to the sup- port of Calvin Coolidge for president, in his an- nouncement Mr. Amory says: “J have faith in Calvin Coolidge. I believe no other man in this country today is so thoroughly equipped with a knowledge of the problems fac- ing the nation, and the ability to solve those problems. I believe that no other man can com- mand the good will and support of all factions of our people during the period of unseasiness and unrest through which we are passing. His record in public life has gained for him the con- fidence of people in all walks of life. He has the patience, the firmness, the sagacity and the en- during powers which the high office of presi- dent demand.” This boy, for he is only twenty-nine, tells the Republicans of Massachusetts that he does not propose to go to the convention and cast a few ballots for Mr. Coolidge. If they send him they are sending nothing less than a last ditcher. There is where he will be found on the last bal- lot, voting for the man he has faith in. It is a worthy example Mr. Amory is setting the young men of the nation of his age, More of them ought to follow the example set them. The hope of the Republican party, and of the nation for that matter, centers in the young men. They should not wait until they are gray headed be- fore they aspire to take a hand in president making. It Is really more of a young man’s job than an old man’s job anyway. The old men of both parties have made some horrible mistakes in their time. The boys could certainly do no worse. Then next year what will be wrong with leav- ing the old boys at home and sending the young ones to the convention. They don’t want to wait a life time to learn the practical part of making a president. Quite a Liquor Bill From the official figures of the Illinois pro- hibition enforcement office it is learned that the people of that state paid approximately $15,000,- 000 for medicinal whiskey last year. It is esti- mated that 2,289,600 prescriptions were filled. The number of blank prescriptions used was nearly a million more than printed by the gov- ernment, indicating that someone else than the government was printing them. At #3 a prescription, the usual charge, physi- clans may have collected $6,868,000 and author- ized druggists, at $3.50 a pint got $8,013,600, mak- ing a total of $14,881,600, While the sum involved in these figures docs not approach Illinois’ drink bill previous to pro- hibition, still it is plenty large. With forty-seven other states operating under the same law some with larger and many with much smaller population, the question naturally arises where does the liquor all come from? Then when you take into consideration tho vast number of illicit distilleries in operation over the country, no state in the forty eight be- ing free from them, and the tremendous amount of liquor smuggled across the borders of Canada and Mexico and the Atlantic and Pacific sea coasts you are convinced that while we are dry we are wet, and while there has been large im- provement and greater happiness under prohi- bition still there is not as much of either as could be desired, The Real Cause The leading alienist for the state of Missouri in noting the increased insanity rate in his stato ascribes it to “the reckless purchase of motor cars which leaves many persons in financial straits and causes worry about their debts,” The good doctor may be right in some cases but not in the great majority of them. Missour- ians can be but little different from other motor car drivers, and when they do go crazy it is not from worry over paying for their car or of where the moncy is coming from to keep it filled with gasoline and oil. What sets them crazy is figur- ing on what the fool driver ahead is going to do next or whether the pedistrian at the inter- section is going to cross the street or remain where he is, Need of Pacification “There is nothing our industrial life so needs at present as pacification. We cannot prosper without it, With it we cannot fail. Our whole future is dependent on it, our place in the world abroad, our comfortable circumstances at home. This can be secured by the administration of eco- nomic justice as far as possible and by timely and mutual concessions by all parties in inter- 4 est when necessary —Calvin Coolidge, iN @de Casper Dally Cribune New Manager for N.&S. Ry. SHERIDAN—J. J. Foley, for 18 years general passenger and freight agent for the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul raflrosd at Miles City Mont., has been made general mana- ger of the Wyoming North and South and the Montana rallroad companies, and will assume his new duties about Sept, 1, according to announcement made by George M. Huss, vice-president of the new lines, ‘Wednesday morning. Mr. Foley will have charge of the actual of the new line, and his temporary headquarters will be at Casper, as the portion of the new road to be operated first will be the Salt Creek-Casper divi- sion. Mr. Huss predicted that trains will be in operation over that sector by Sept. 15. The headquarters will be in Sheridan after next year, it is expected. W. G. Wilt, auditor for the raifl- road, who has been at the general offices here, will a'so go to Casper as soon as the trains on the\south end are put into operation, to take care of the auditing there until building {s resumed on the rest of the line next spring, when he will return to the general offices here. ko td st aes Indian Wild West CODY—The Indian Wild West show at Pryor Gap on Sunday Led | Monday (Labor Day) is one of the most picturesque events in this sec- tion. They camp for days along the creek near the primitive race track, getting thetr horses ready for the big| tests of speed visiting and holding their dances in the evening. This occasion settles all disputes as to the relative merits of their! horses and riders.so to win or lose in the various events is of the utmost importance to the various entries and contestants. They are all out to win in whatever they enter and there is no question of ‘‘frame-ups” or pull- |= ing horses. Whipping from the jump they ride for a'l that is in them and defeat is a hard pill to swallow for the owners who have been boasting of their horse’s speed for months. This year the white and Indian boys on the reservation have made a special effort to have a good pro- gram and the affair promises to be well worth seeing. ! Se One Shot for Two LARAMIE—Killing two birds with one stone is an old saying, out hit- ting two men with one bullet is quite a new idea. Jesus Rosa is in the county jail charged with intent tu) commit murder, and two of his fel-; low countrymen named Martinez and Cruz Sandoval are in the hospital where they are recovering from the gunshot wounds, It seems that-Rosa had a grudge against Martinez and fired a shot at him the bullet enteting his target under the right arm, hit a rib and glanced around his body coming out and then hitting Sandoval, who was standing a short distance away, in the back. The shooting occurred at Medicine Bow where all three men were employed, Violated Road Law WHEATLAND—A fine of $25 and costs was assessed against L. C. Ren- shaw, a local farmer, in court of Justice of the Peace Scheie for re- fusing to turn to the right with his team when signaled from behind by George Hiatt, who wished to pass him with his automobile. According to the testimony of wit- nesses, Renshaw was driving towards Wheatland along the stretch of Yellowstone Highway immediately west of town when Hiatt came up behind. On Hiatt’s signal Renshaw turned his team to the left instead of the right, as the law re- quired. Hiatt then repeatedly sig- naled to Renshaw to turn to the right, but he failed to do so, and fin- ally forced Hiatt to pass on the right. Hiatt swore out a complaint as dep- uty sheriff and the case was brought to trial, Re: iw did not deny turning to the left, but merely stated MERCHANTS SAVE One-half and more on standard store and of- fice equipment.
