Credit Where It Is Due We do not like to create any ruction in the Democratic party over the selection of Hon. John B. Kendrick for president nor to settle any disputes that may arise in those secred pre- cints with reference to the discovery and naming of the candidate, but in the interest of truth and history and all that is otherwise sacred we must tell the world that it was Dr. J, R. Hylton, chairman of the Democratic state committee of Wyoming and not the Buffalo Voice that dia all these things some weeks ago, while the Voice had not yet mustered courage to speak out. Dr. Hylton it was who issued an open letter from his Douglas headquarters, published as an item of news in newspapers of both Republi can and Democratic faith. This letter placed Sen- ator Kendrick in the running for the presidency in sofar as the state chairman could do so. The Voice trailed along later with the letter and largely in the language of Dr. Hylton sec- e motion. re maa is, of course, entitled to such credit as it is reeciving, which seems to be mostly sar- castic in character. But it certainly cannot be credited with the discovery of Senator Kendrick | as a suitable contender for the Democratic nom- ination. That belongs to Dr. Hylton. Marital Relations The census bureau has given out the figures relative to marriage and divorce in Wyoming for 1922, and it is shown by them that in the state, with probably 200,000 population, | there Aas been a total of 1988 marriages and 512 di- yorces in the year. According to this Wyoming is no better than some of her sister states, that the divorce blight has fallen as heavily upon our people as it has upon others. In our small population approx- imately one fourth as many divorces as mar- riages is too high a percentage. This is too many failures in the family business and too destructive of the hearthstone. The argument for and against divorce has Jeng since been threshed out and there are two schools of thought upon the question, each with convictions more or less strong. ‘There is one point upon which all agree regardless of their views otherwise, and that is that there is en- tirely too much divorce for the country’s good, and separation is now made too easy by the courts for the good of the men and women who rush to the Tribunals to dissolve sacred ties, upon pretexts founded upon trivial disagree ments between them. The divorce epidemic has had a run of a considerable number of years, and it is about time the fashion went out. With divorce and remarriage as common as it is at present it will be a wise child that knows its own parents in the future, 7% Disposing of Remains The late Toxen Wurm, who brought to the trade of press agent higher qualities than are found in many of its practitioners, left direc tions in his will that his body should be cre- mated and the ashes strewn on the ocean. Sim- ilar aspirations have been felt’ by many persons who feel that they have paid enough bought enough estate, during life, without continuing the painful and costly procedure for a cemetery lot. Of the sanitary and esthetic superiority of cremation over burial there seems little doubt, however much it may affront those who believe that the body that served them here will serve them all eternity. Yet the organized on a burial basis. To say nothing of the expense of cre mation, the disposal of the always pre- In Mr. Wurm’s case the ex finally managed to car rent, or real also through world is still ashes sents a problem ecutor y out the provis ions of the will, but it took a year and a half | to overcome legal obstacles to the removal of the from K. to Ve ashes Franklin Lane the man aged to have hes senttered tite V winds from official peak positi | have notably served humanity in many a er denied to Keven mo if the re done to be affronted with the ashes of the ordi- , nary citizen. Retention of the urn in the home, | after the ancient custom, is pretty hard in city apartments. Meanwhile, those who insist on cremation, no matter what the trouble, are pio- neers in a good cause, meeting the usual diffi- culties of pioneers. The Available Witnesses The children killed by the Italian dread- noughts at Corfu thad not been buried before Italian newspapers were printing stories from Albania, tending to show the undeniable guilt of the Greeks, if not the connivance of Greek government, in the massacre of the Italian offi- cers. The Greeks were somewhat slow in respond- ing but they have done their utmost to catch up Three shepherds are now under arrest and deten- tion as material witnesses. They saw six Alban- jans commit the crime, and then run away. And whatever nay be thought of this evidence in gen- eral, it is quite as good as the Italian evidence. Down in Epirus and Albania they take things to heart. They provide—and this applies to Epi- rote Greeks and Albanians as well—they provide whatever is needed for the good of the cause, whether it is a little shooting or a little eye-wit- ness evidence. In that part of the world it would be perfectly easy for both the Italians and the Greeks to get as many eye-witnesses as_ they needed to prove their side of the case. No inves- tigation will ever get far on that line. It might be more profitable to consider the fact that Italy's action can be defended, if at all, only on the theory that the Greek government was an accessory to the murder. But the Greek govern ment must have known in advance that such an outrage would mean trouble for Greece. Why should it have inspired or permitted it.? The Albanian government, however, mist also have known that it would mean trouble for Greece. And for the Italian government it pro: vided the necessary pretext, even if a very thin one, for the seizure of a strategically valuable island which Italy has long coveted. If there is ever an inquiry into the responsibility of govern- ments, these facts might be considered, They may be,;more pertinent than the testimony of eye-witnesses provided to order on either side. After It Had Won Oftentimes the opposition to a pending mea- sure is forgotten or vaguely remembered. We amuse ourselves, it may be, by reading the old arguments that the smoke of locomotives would destroy the wool of sheep, and that the intro duction of gas would result in wholesale fires. But few now pay serious attention to any such protests. It is more to the purpose to see how great achievements in legislation, in science, or in ethics forced tributes from those who had been on the hostile side. Let us, just by way of il- lustration, look at a few chapters in the history of American protection. Alexander Hamilton stated the general argu- ment for legislation favorable to home industry us well as it has ever been stated, Burr, Hamil ton’s rival at the bar, his opponent in politics, the man who sent the deadly bullet into his body, saic ‘be man who puts himself on paper with Ilamilton is lost.” When Burr said this, how ', he spoke in general terms, not in parti ular of Hamilton’s Tariff arguments. But when di the case for Protection as presented by son, Madison and Monroe; when we read how Gallatin, despite all his Free-Trade tenden- cies managed the treasury on Hamilton's lines, when we reflect that a Democratic House or- dered the reprinting of Hamilton’s report on manufactures we feel that Hamilton had won the reluctant admiration of his bitterest foes, Whatever was said in Congress against the Tariff of 1842 is now of little consequence. It is more to the purpose that so shrewd a lawyer so well-informed a Pennsylvanian as James Buchanan, voted for it. No student of our in- dustrial history is likely to ignore the fact that in 1844 Democratic clubs marched through the factory towns of Pennsylvania with banners on which they inscribed “Polk, Dallas and the Tar- iff of ’42. In county after county orators ex- plained that Polk was a better Tariff man than Henry Clay. Polk wrote a campaign | letter which was used to win votes of wage-earners. ‘True, he deceived the Protectionists who had trusted him, It is also true that after the Democratic defeat of 1848 two Democrats of no small calibre ascribed their losses not to G eral Taylor's popularity, but to the low Ta action of the Democratic party. The letters of James Buchanan and George Bancroft are in structive reading. For many years’ the greatest American Protec tionist was Justin S. Morrill. He.was the main worker on behalf of two of our tariffs aud always ready to defend his economic creed, After his death, John L. Morgan, the great Ala. buma Democrat said that those who, like him- self, had opposed Morrill’s pelicy must admit that it had brought about an industrial deyelop- ment of which the whole land was proud. Mor- gan’s words had meat in them, The Fordney tariff is yet young. But it was hardly on the statute books before agricultural districts in the South protested against lowering some of its bars. While it was a mere infant, the New York World sullenly conceded that it had proved a better revenue raiser than was ex- pected. In 1920, Hon. James M. Cox assured us that he had always voted for Protection when it was needed. Vice President Marshall owned | that bis Free Trade theories had been sorely jolted. Next year we shall find Democrats in plenty to say that they only wish to n a few slight anges, If the riff proves unexpect edly popular they will claim that every Demo cratic Senutor except Mr. Owen, helped to pass it, or at least to frame some of its clauses, | Their Best Use The best purpose a warship can haye in this day is illustrated in the prompt mobilization of destroyers to go to the aid of stri Japan.

Thurman has for the year of 1923 set a pace at corn raising that will make most of the Campbell county farmers sit up and take notice. During 1922 Mr. Thurman put. in most of the season plowing, discing and harrow- ing his land. When spring opened th's year he had about 100 acres realy for corn. Most of his acreage 18 tteeced to white dent, although he has some 15 or 20 nctes in the re- Mable jehu. All of his corn 1s good and those competent to judge his crop yield estimate that he will gath- er at least 4,000 bushels of matured corn froy: 100 acres. He has not cultivated his crop at all but has kept the land entirely free from weeds by pulling them. Mr. Thur- man {s a native of Towa and learned how to farm “I’ the State Where the Tall Corn Grows.” “A hundred acres of corn in a square ts a nice sight to see in Wyoming especially when such field is filled with such corn as Thurman has.on his place in 43.7 Planting Trout LARAMIE.—Forest Ranger Bruce Torgny, in charge of the Bow dis- trict on the northern end of the Mid- icine Bow national forest in south- ern Wyoming, reports the success- ful planting of 116,000 native and brook trout in the Medicine Bow riv- er tributaries and the lakes to the northward of the Snowy Range re- Several thousands were plant- ke, ‘which is very pop- the fishermen, par account of its access!- Lincoln Highwag at ular ticula Rock River.

At the cemetery the Rev. James Blackledge, pastor of the Baptist church, read the burial service and Dr. McMartin of Cheyenne, state Presbyterian pastor evangelist, gave the benediction.
