Short Time Citizens We all believe that American citizenship con- fers great privileges upon those who possess it. There can be no doubt of the existence of the rights and privileges of which we boast, for we hear of them every day through the press and about as frequently from the platform. W ho is not familiar with the right of free speech, the right of trial by jury, the right of religious free- dom, all prerogatives of a free self-governing le? me put what of the duties and responsibilities of a free and self-governing people? We can scarcely expect to enjoy rights and privileges without assuming the duties and re- sponsibilities that go with them. Nevertheless, the rights and privileges and the duties and re- sponsibilities all of which we claim and acknowl- lige are constantly breached and evaded. Ap- parently unappreciated. There is, moreover, a more comprehensive duty which we also neglect. The duty of each citizen shouldering his share of the government—his government, if you please. It is the duty of select- ing the proper officials and representative: of assisting them in the exercise of their official functions, of obeying the laws and seeing to it that the laws are obeyed by others. This “thirty day citizenship” to call it that for want of a better name, consists of reading the newspapers and talking of vague political is- sues on the eve of election; without the civic en- terprise to discover that the “vague political is- sues” were formulated for certain well defined poses by a few three-hundred and sixty-five fas, political gentlemen. Then the thirty-day citizens charge the three- hundred and sixty-five day politicians with run- ning the government “to suit themselves.” We resent the usurping of “our rights” but do noth- ing to exercise those rights or if we do we ex- pect to accomplish it all in thirty days. If we, ourselves do not jump in and run the govern- ment, whom do we expect will do it, if the hand- fal of politicians do not? For a people who dis- lay such clear, decisive action in business, it is astonishing that we have so little interest or ability in the business of government, which makes our business of living possible. If the people who exercise the thirty-day citi- renship are satisfied, we presume there is noth- ing more to be said. However, if they are not content, two courses are open to them, to keep their mouths shut and take their medicine, or shake off their apathy and thirty day citizenship and become a regular three-hundred and sixty five day in the year citizen. And always remem- ber if you fail to use your citizenship rights as our constitution and laws contemplate, then somehody else will use them for you. Is the Tide Turning? There was a time when the lowest price for which you could hire a man was considered to be a very desirable thing. You can hear it now that England is to beat us cotton raising in India, because labor can be had there at fifty cents a day. One of the best business men in the coun try today, whether you like him or detest him, is Henry d. He p good wages because he knows that it is good business to do so. The Standard Oil company pays their emplc good wages, because their experience has taught them that it is a fine business investment. Other large concerns follow the same rule and know the value equally as well as those named. The original quality in a man is born, made. The original quality in a man’s b not his situation in life, is what What humbler situations in life ys not n, and makes him. could one im agine than those into which Andrew Carnegie, | John D, Rockefeller and Henry Ford were born’ But look where the original quality of their brains has sent them! Our attention is now very seriously called, as a nation, to the fact that there is another orig: inal quality that is born in a man’s brain when he is born, 1 cannot be acquired. It is the qual ity of invention. There never was a period in the history of the great Republic when sl her inventors more than she does tod. The his- tory of invention in this country is a disastrous one. Oliver Evans, the inventor of the high pres sure engines which made railroading possible, did not receive a penny therefor. Charles Good year is one of our most genuine and most useful and most honored names today, but during his lifetime he was put to prison for debt. If the information is correct large and wealthy manufacturing concerns have installed expensive departments, with high priced skilled labor to develop their own invention been uniformally oa failur the com been to ¢ needed because the policy whatever im ement was by ng themselves inste of entor Dr, Bunting the in insulin, two years ago was a wholly unknown person, and not even known in his profession, today he heavily insured person in the world This is about the first instance of the n the in or of the most immediate E _ | tide iiding, oppo- | >ming) postoffice as second | and the effort has | ' : | recognition, from a money point of view, of the inventor. Possibly it marks the change in the of the fortunes of the inventor. The country is in constant need of inventive genius. If the country is willing to spur the nation needs the impetus. A Man's Name Mr. Samuel Goldwyn one of the supermen of the picture industry has sustained a very cur- ious misfortune. His rivals and enemies are seeking to prevent him from using his own name in the production of pictures. The explanation is that his name is a synthetic trade product and belonged to the Goldwyn Picture Corporation before it belonged to him. Mr. Goldwyn once re- joiced in the name of Goldfish, also ,honorably familiar in trade circles. Going into partner- ship with the Selwyns, up the first syllable of his name, as they gave up the second of theirs, for the firm name of Goldwyn. At the time a commentator observed that this was ob- viously the only possible course, as the partners could not be expeeted to combine the residuary syllables of their several names and go into bust- ness as Selfish Pictures. At any rate, the combination prospered. For obscure reasons, perhaps because of the confus- ing similarity between his name and that of the inventor on with adequate pay instead of rob- | bing him of the fruits of his labor ideas and in- ; ventions will be brought forth, no doubt. The | company, perhaps because of too much implica- tion of publicity. Mr. Goldfish abandoned his name and took that of the firm. Then in course of time the firm abandoned him, as often hap- pens in the picture business, and Mr. Goldwyn entered into production as a competitor of the Goldwyn corporation. The corporation alleges that when he left or was left he promised not to use his name in connection with the production of pictures, and the Court’s decision will presum- ably depend on this. Otherwise we might have had an instructive research into the philosophy of nomenclature and a man’s right to his own name. For Goldwyn is now this gentleman’s name, by due and formal court proceedings. On the other hand, the corporation complains that the name has been given a commercial value by its adver- tising, 2 value independent of the individual who assumed it. On the market it was presumably worth more than Goldfish. The rights and the wrongs of the case, aside from the alleged clause in the contract which reserved the name to the corporation, are by no means clear, There have been parallels in the automobile business which are discouraging to Mr. Goldwyn’s chances. Mr. Stutz, for example, has lost his name for busi- ness purposes and has to design cars nowadays under his initials. Cost of Learning The cost of schools and their enormous and growing budgets brought forth statements a while back from the president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, which stirred the educational world and have evoked widespread comment and discussion. The subject is recalled with the opening of schools all over the land with increased enroll- ment everywhere and promising demand for still larger budgets for next year far above the ex- penditure required for the year just starting. The statements referred to are that “the pres- ent cost of schools is sorely taxing the ability of the American people to support them” and that under the “enormous load” of taxation that society carries “communities will rise against the burdensome cost of public education.” “Enormous” is a relative term. The cost is truly enormous, for example, compared with what Russia is spending. It is enormous com- pared with what China is spending. But it can hardly be said to be enormous when put beside our total wealth or national income. The cost of all public elementary and secondary schools in 1920, estimated at a little over a billion dollars, was four-tenths of one per cent, of the nations wealth, 1 4-10 per cent, of the national income, andvless than 7 per cent of the amount of money lying in the avings accounts” of the aks i 1921. That is the * reply that the Nat ional Education ation makes to the Car negie Foundation report, In 1920, for further example, our people spent seventeen doll for luxuries for every dollar that they spent for education, and eight and one half dollars for other forms of public service as compared with one dollar for education. More- over, though there has been seemingly an “enor- mous” increase in educational expenditure in re- cent y the percentage of income spent for education has not greatly risen since 1910 and is, in fact, less than in 1914. These at any r: are the conclusions reached by the Kes Division of the National Education associ The spent on education sonnds “enor mous.” But when reduced to its lowest terms— the cost to each individual—it seems very small. Taking the country over, it is about three cents per person per day. It seems hardly fair to charge education with the excessive burden of which it is such a small part. We are able to give without “sorely taxing” our ability what se: tion, sum for all, if only we regard the education of our children as a primary duty of the state. Tt is a matter of priority of interest and not a question of ability. English Spellings In the contemporary press you come upon many quaint communications relative to the let ter “u” which we, as good Americans correctly and persistently omit from such words as arbor, ardor, behavior, candor, color, dolor, favor, har bor, labor, neighbor, ete. These communications seem to emanate from British sojourners in our fair land with British habit of “writing a card to the paper.” These visitors appear to be persons who do not real- ize that most of the words in this class came or- iginally from the Latin and not through the French. Unfortunately when Dr. Samuel Johnson made his dictiona in 1755 he inconsistently applied the rule of giving the “u” to words which he de- rived from the French and omitting it from the words that the traced to the Latin. This confusion American scholarship has set | right, except in such a word as glamour. We should commiserate our British who have persistently mis-spelled the wor cousins needed to provide adequate school advantages | .- @be Casper Daily Cribune It Happened In Wyoming | | speed when the accident occurrea Matters and Things, of State-Wide Interest, Wired in, Telephoned in, Written, Grape-Vined and Some of It Purloined. Files Abatement - Proceedings LARAMIE—Direct information charging Henry .Rebhausen and Albert Erickson, who, are co-pro- prietors of the soft drink parlor at 107 Thornburg avenue, with operat- ing a public nuisance will be filed in the district court elther late to- day or tomorrow. If the case 1s decided in favor of the state, Pat- terson will ask Judge Tidball for a} writ closing the place for a year under the Arnold abatement act. A “raid” on the alleged “moist spot” early last evening and the re- ported confiscation of a pitcher of “moonshine” prompted Prosecutor Patterson to file abatement proceea- ings against Rebhausen and Erick- son. The whisky, it is charged, was found behind the “bar” py Sergeant Bill Connors, who, with Officer Barrett Cole, entered the establishment shortly after 6 o'clock while Earl Hicks and Erickson were on duty. Removing Car Tracks SHERIDAN—Announcement that junking of the city tracks of. the Sheridan Street Railway company, had been authorized by the Public Service commission was made at the regular meeting of the city council. Hearing for a franchise to the Sheridan Motor Bus company before the State Public Service commission 1s on in Cheyenne. The pcint of beginning the work {s at the intersection of Main and Burkitt streets, and workmen started operations east from this point Monday morning. A date for the discontinuing of Main street service from Alger street has not been set. Service will be main- tained on Main street south of Alger avenue as long as the tracks are intact. M. W. Woodard of the Warren Construction company announced that as the street car track {s re- moved and the storm_sewer laid workmen on those jobs will be fol- lowed by the paving.squad. A con- siderable quantity of material is now on the ground- ready to be- gin Main street paving. Main street will be given the preference over other paving districts. A Wet August COLONY—August, 1923, was a most exceptional month at Colony, being by far the wettest August since the establishment of the local weather station. There were 12 days on which it rained ,01 inch or more, and a total of 5.81 Inches fell dur- ing the month. ‘The wettest August before was in 1915, when there were 3.81 inches. This year there were just two inches more than the pre- gprs vious high record. The avefage rain- }fall at Colony for August is 1,18 | inches. | The total rainfall at Colony for the first eight months of 1923 was |18.80 inches, which is about three |inches more than the average rain- fall for the whole year. Not only has there been more rainfall than usual, but a very large part of it soaked into the ground. The temperature for the month was about two degrees cooler than usual. | Mail Robbery DOUGLAS—Thieves cut a hole near the door in the north end of the Burlington freight depot, en- jtered the place and took four sacks containing first class mail which |had just been left here by the train |from Casper. The robbery was not discovered until next morning when j|Agent Frank Matlak opened the |freight house for the mail carrier | who delivered the mail from the depot to the postoffice. | A search of the premises was im- mediately instituted but it was not | until late in the afternoon that the four sacks were found in a freight {car at the north end of the yards. All of them had been cut open and as no registered ma{l was found in |them it is belleved that the thieves |took the valuable matter. Postal |inspectors have been here for the |past few days but have not ‘yet given out anything for publication lin connection with the case. paaaiaks A ei eet Many Will Attend DOUGLAS—Word from Natrona and Niobrara counties states that those two counties wil be well rep- resented at the state teachers asso- ciation meeting which will be held in Douglas October 8 to 12.

Live Community Club DOUGLAS—Attorney Charles P. Maurer was a Glenrock visitor last week and while there was the guest of J. B. Higgins at the Community club luncheon, Mr. Maurer statea that the Glenrock Community club promised its assistance in develop- ing the Ayers Natural Bridge Park and also in securing improved roads leading to the park. He was atao very complimentary in speaking ot the work accomplished by the Glen- rock club, and said that for co-ope- ration and team work the Glen- rock club could not be beaten. ‘OF Men, Who want' body’ in their coffee Y OU MEN who like plenty of strength, flavor and goodness in your coffee will take on through ignorance and explain to them that there was necessity for the introduction of | the “u” into the English form of a word derived from a Latin word that does not contain it be cause & French scholar inserted it where it had | no right to be, no ADV6O for a pal.
