One answering the needs of our growth and development. One adequate for the housing of our busin) ss, the safety of our records, the sufficiency of our courts, with a separate, safe, complete. annex for the keeping of our criminals. The time has arrived when the county must do away with her present court house. it an- swered splendidly in the village days of | the county seat. But those days are gone forever. Our demands require a more commodious build: ing, 4 more modern one. A public building of architectural style befitting a county of our im- portance and increasi One not located in the middie of the street but on a suitable site with proper surroundings. Its cost is immaterial, so long as it is of the best materials, honestly built, suitably embellished and with no undue profit to contractors and supply dealers. i PEhe county owns enough property in the city which if sold would furnish tunds several times over to purchase a uew site for the loca- tion of a new building. The property is un- suitable for county purposes and the county should get it into private ownership. The county is amply rich to stand an asess- ment or to float bonds for construction pur- poses; and the county commissioners are urged to take the matter under advisement at an early date. The people of the county are doubtless more than willing that such a project should be launched, and unless misjudged, have sufficient pride to desire proper housing for their business and safety for their property and records of their transactions in the past as well as those of the future. ‘ It is to be regretted that a joint city and county building was not considered before the city built its permanent home on South Center street. But since that plan is not now possible, the county must construct its own independent home, And this should be done soon. Why We Have Crime The American Bar Association must have a on of members with ordinary intelli- gence, yet its survey of crime conditions is merely a recital of conditions proving the in- efficiency of the law as administered under our ridiculous codes of procedure. “The apathy and indifference of the American people” is simply their recognition of the fact that they are helpless in the existing conditions. Lawyers make the laws and lawyers admin- ister them. The more complicated and indef- initely they are drawn, the greater the oppor tunity for business for the lawyers. The rem- edy lies with the Bar Association, to simplify the laws. Clarify the verbiage and circumlo- cution that at present characterize them. Bring @ common sense interpretation founded on com- mon justice instead of the technicalities which at present result only in contempt for all law, as now administered. The present system of delays, new trials and all the petty tricks of criminal lawyers, emboldens the criminal, as giving him almost certainty of evading punish- ment. Witnesses of a crime cannot be certain of their recollection of all the incidents con- nected with it, after months or years have elap- sed, and this is the factor upon which the crim- inal lawyers base their chances of success. Make trial of a major crime follow closely upon its perpetration, aud the result of that trial conclusive once for all, and such crimes will show quick reduction in frequency. What's The Matter With Cider? Our friend the French cider maker is at- tempting to cultivate our acquaintance. He wants to get his product in some legal sort of way through the internal revenue department. The French wine merchant is ruled out with his goods by reason of the eighteenth amend ment and acts supplementary thereto. Cider is something different. And it is said that French cider makers have through study and experiment perfected an article but little inferior to the best dry champagne ever {made along the Moselle. The alcoholic content is as low as two and a half per cent and from that point upward. ‘There is a huge quantity already in storage ready for shipment to this e of bootleggers as soon as the barrier is raised by the government authorities, They also have on the other side a pear cider that rivals champagne in all other qualities not omitting the well known kick. This is also knocking at the door of the Internal Revenue department. It is nothing but a mirage our French friends are seeing and the burning tongues of the blas phemers of St. Volstead will not be hed by this frolic juice sp enticingly presented in lit <at> erature coming into the country. several reasons why. TJ irst and most import- ant is, the department will not permit of its importation. Second, we can make our own cider and in the old days most of the American champagne came from the apple orchards of New York state. We discovered long ago how to make cider and what to do with it. Third, our American farmers can make a cider such as the French never dreamed of, strong enough, as they themselves will admit, “to hold up a grindstone.” Fourth, our farmers can have two hundred gallons of it a year, in fact all they want of it anu no questions asked. To be sure our Internal Revenue Commissioner prescribes benzoate of soda to be added, but who would ruin perfectly good cider, and more especially when there is no one to see that the farmer puts it in? Our farmers are perfectly content with the Volstead act. Why shouldn’t they be? Two hundred gallons of perfectly fine kicking cider, and then as much more as they desire from fruit juices. They get “theirs” and can afford to be hostile to the legalization of French ciders. The American farmer, if he does have a little grief in other respects, is fixed up all right so far as cider is concerned. He don’t have to bootleg, or homebrew, or moonshine. And then you know cider is regarded as a yery healthful beverage. Old timers will recall Jolin Adams, once president of the United States. John used to lay up from eight to ten barrels of it every year. Most of his life he was accus- tomed to drinking a tall tankard of it every morning before breakfast. This and the same amount during the evening before retiring, along with the doughnuts, is what caused his premature death at the age of ninety-one. For- get all the other beverages and cultivate the cider habit. The Next War Is On Considering that the war against rum has been won, the Copenhagen congress, called for the purpose of arranging the matter of repara- tions growing out of the conflict, has settled in the minds of the delegates that since permanent peace ns hopeless in the moral as in the phys- ical sense, and that the prospect in both is for just one war after another, it is time to gird up the loins and go after that other scourge of mankind—todacco, Professor Martin Hartmann of Leipsic, a German delegate sounded the tocsin in the be- ginning of the war upon the soothing weed. Which declaration of war, or any declaration of war, comes quite appropriately from Ger- many. What luck the professor will have with his declaration is another matter entirely. It is the casus belli at this time that is more in- teresting, the contents of the pink book, than the fact of the war itself. Among other declarations the professor as- serts “smoking tends to retard growth and has caused a reduction in the height of Americans and Englishmen in the last century.” All right profess, come over and look about before you shoot the next load from your Big Bertha in your war on nicotine. 1 at our dwarfed and shambling race of Americans, look on the tennis courts, the golf links, the baseball field, the boxing ring, the football gridiron, look the mob of spectators at any one of these stimes. Puny, stunted, anemic young people t they are. It is a shame t they ure not slaughtered before they breed another gener tion, which by the inevitable law of nicotine’s progress must be even worse than the present one, Some of the more fussy of our home grown savants have from time to time warned of the effects of the cigarette on the modern girl. There she is, look her oyer. A shriveled, bloodless, helpless creature, coughing her life away in listlessnes, even fainting from sheer weakn Hiow she has degenerated from her mid-Victorian grandmother who could sup- port the weight of boiler-iron corsets, crinolines and quilted petticoats, bee she had never sapped her vitality with Fatimas. it was unfortunate that one of our own par- uls in the war on nicotine could m present at the congress to add to or Hartmann’s ignment of tobacco his testimony as to how, the World War, the Tobacco Trust had sent doped cigareis to our army in France and how the Ameri diers had to be taken out of the ranks because they were sapped and vorrupted by the drugs. All of wiitch was shameful when considering how courageous and full of pep our boys could have been ff they never had touched the weed. Now we are willing to leave it to the profes- sor himself. He saw the American boys a few years ago when they crossed the Atlantic to save the world from German Kultur, and again dur- ing their Watch on the Rhine, most of them used tobacco in some form, did he notice, really and truly anything wrong with their intelligence, their physical condition, their stature, and last but not least their nerve and fighting ability? Confidentially, if the professor would so re- ceive the information, we should iike to tell him that it was because of the superiority of Amer- ican tobacco and in consequence, the superiority of the men who used it, that therein lies the reason why Germany did not win the war. Honest Friendship—No Entanglements The genius of our institutions, the needs of our people in their home life, and the attention which is demanded for the settlement and devel- opment of the resources of our vast territory, dictate the scrupulous ayoidance of any depart- ure from that foreign policy commended by his- tory the traditions and the prosperity of our re- public. It is the policy of independence, fayored by our position and defended by our known love of justice and by our own power. It is the policy of peace suitable to our interests. It is the policy of neutrali rejecting any share in foreign broils and nbitions upon other continents and repelling their intrusion here. It is the policy of Monroe, and of Washington, and Jefferson— “Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliance with none.” — Grover Cleveland. Unequal Taxation Thirty-six states are now imposing a consump- tion tax on gasoline or will be doing so by the end of this year. Various states which are now levying such a tax, ranging from one to three cents a gallon, expect to increase their reyenues during the current year. xes such this ure easy ways to raise money, but they represent class taxation, not equal taxation. When gasoline is taxed all the consumer can stand, the same method will be applied to some other The fact that it can do t make the principle right. commodity be done, There are!

This was the command shouted into the ear of Babe Williams by L. O. Vaught in police court yesterday. The pair ap- peared before Judge John A. Mur- ray on the charge of illegal posses- sion of Mquor and illegal cohabita- tion. The Williams woman is very deaf and did not understand that her companion had reached a con- clusion to plead guilty on both counts. Vaught was fined $100 and the Williams woman was fined $50. pte Se ae Casper Call Too Strong for Jones; Returns to Live J. F. Jones, a former resident, hi returned to Casper and opened a new modern real estate office at 163 South Beech street. Mr. Jones wil be remembered as the man who or- ganized the J. F, Jones and company real estate agency, with offices in the Becklinger building, He sold out to Mr. Ross some time ago, and left Casper, but the lure of Casper proved strong and he has returned and opened new offices un- der the same name as the old. Mr. Jones is the agent for the new Country Club addition, which he be- lie will become one of Casper's exclusive residential sections before many years have passed. Light and water is already installed in the new addition, and gas is on the way. In addition to his suburban work, Mr. Jones also is agent for numer- ous choice city lots and apartment homes. This was the work in which he engaged in the past. BEBE DINELS PLAYS CAPTIVATING ROLE IN NEW PLAY AT RIALTO Bebe Daniels, who is known as “the speed girl of the movies,” be- cause of the speed roles she has played in pictures, has ample op- portunity to gratify her craving for fast movement in her latest Para, mount picture, “The Exclters, which Maurice Campbell directed, and which comes to the Rialto the- ater tomorrow. In the picture, Miss Daniels as Ronnie Rand, chief of the “exciters,” hag the thrilling exper- jence of riding an aquaplane, particl- pating in a motorboat race, riding in an aeroplane, and dashing madly about the Florida turnpikes in a eeding roadster, or ethere are more speed stunts in this picture than in a half dozen of my former pictures,” explained Miss Daniels. “When I got through whiz- zing through the air for scenes in the photoplay I was ready to sit still for the rest of my life. I don’t think I will ever want to see a speed boat or an aeroplane again so long as I live.” Antonio Moreno, recently seen in support of Gloria Swanson in “My American Wife,” is co-starred with Miss Daniels in ‘“‘The Exciters."” He has the role of a young man of wealth who, to enjoy the thrills that accompany danger joins the United States Intelligence Service and later identifies himself as a safe-craker, with a band of crooks in order to ob- tain evidence of crime. Believing him to be a near burglar, Miss Dan- iels as Ronnie, true to her reputa- tion as an exciter, marries him, Many interestirig developments fol- and the climax is noyel and dra The supporting company is > of several well known ts, low matic. made 5 a THOUSANDS ENJOY FETE MARKING OPENING OF REFINERY BUILDING (Continued from Page One.)

(hot stuff)»— ees “DULGY” GOES OVER BIG AT AMERICA THEATER After college, what? Marriage is not a bad climax to an educational career for a young wo- man, but for a photoplay it is rather an unusual beginning. In “Duley” Constance Talmadge’s latest comedy, the star is ‘married in the very beginning of the picture. As “Dulcy” she marries right aft- er leaving college. She plays the role of a young society girl—a spar- Kling personality and just the type the fans love to see Constance por- tray. ‘“Ducy” is anxious to assist her husband in his struggles for suc- cess, but her college education is of little help in this task, and she fails, temporarily. In the end, however, all ends well. The picture is based on the big Broadway stage success of the same name and was purchased by Joseph M. Sclienck especially for Constance Talmadge because it offers unusual opportunities for clean, wholesome humor and action. No efforts were spared to give Miss Talmadge the chance to create something of last- ing value in this phoX¥oplay, and she has made good, as is evidenced by the satisfied audiences who have been viewing the picture at the America this wee! \ Ill; Unable to Pay Alimony LOS ANGELES, Sept., 5.—Charles A. Kenyon, playwright, summoned to court to explain why he was $1.700 in arrears in the payment of alimony to Elsa Cooke Kenyon, said that although he had earned between $15,000 to $20,000 in the last year he was now nuable to write because he was sick. He asked that alimony payments of $55 a week be reduced. The court declined the reduction and continued the hearing to give Kenyon an opportunity to make up the back payme: Council Postpones Meeting; Mayor Is Out of the City Owing to the absence of Acting Mayor Whisenhunt the regular ses- sion of the city council which would ordinarily have been held last night was postponed.
