Not Isolated Nation Edward Nelson Dingley is considered an au- thority upon general governmental matters. he is an assiduous researcher, and contributes much information of public value. He has just presented a number of specific facts controvert- ing the often repeated charge that the United States is an isolated nation and desires 60 to be. Among other things he shows that the United States from its very foundation has had rela- tlons with all other civilized nations through the capitals of Europe. Moreover, as he also points out, the United States touched the great powers of Europe in a vital spot upon the announcement of the Monroe Doctrine, which was certainly a participation in world affairs. Although the war with Spain was precipitated by the sinking of one of our battleships in a Spanish harbor, yet this war was conducted and its aftermath was guided in accordance with humanitarian puprposes rather than for selfish national in- terest. Mr. Dingley might have enumerated other in- stances in which the United States participated in world affairs where our own interests were probably no greater than those of many other countries. Prior to1854 Japan had kept her ports closed to the commerce of all other na- tions. The United States undertook to bring about a change in that policy and sent Com- modore Perry to conduct negotiations. The re- sult was not only the termination of the isola- tion of Japan so far as the United States was concerned, but the opening of the ports of that country to all other nations. Japan has always been grateful for our part in developing her for- eign commerce. For many years during the early period of our Republic, it had been the custom of all tho maritime nations to pay tribute to the Barbary powers to secure exemption from the depreda- tions of their pirates. The sending of American battleships to Barbary ports and the submission of an ultimatum to the authorities there, not only brought about renunciation of all claims to tribute so far as the United States was con- cerned, but terminated the payment of this tribute by other nations as well. At the time of the Boxer Rebellion in China, with its injury to the nationals and the property interests of other countries, the United States participated along with other world powers in the re-establishment of law and order. The United States made no claim for indemnity, and payments in the nature of reparations were de- yoted to the education of citizens of China. The United States has not been isolated in the past and it is not isolated today. The only remotely possible basis for the charge that the United States is isolated is that it insists upon its right to determine from time to time the oc- casion and the nature of our participation in world affairs. Wr yield to no other nation the right to tell us how and when and where we shall act. Imperiling Education Back in the days of long ago it was said that “once a school teacher, always a school teacher.” Once dedicating her life to imparting learning to the younger generation, the school teacher stayed put. In other words she never forsook her calling, turned her back on her job, or quit school teaching. In that blessed day it was not infrequent that three, and very common that two generations of a family attended school taught by the same teacher, There was no age limit then and seventy was regarded young for a school teacher. Learning was not so common or plenti ful as now. The teacher occupied a particular niche in the life of the community. She was high- brow and mostly from Boston, which accounted for it. She held herself aloof and set the moral pace for the town. She did not attend dances or frequent theaters, because there was a rule in the black book of the board of education that forbade such pastimes. She had a hard, solemn, rocky and uninteresting road to travel, She never married, because school teachers were not expected to marry, just teach school children that was all they had to do. It would be a scan- dal to marry, Another reason why she never married was ‘ause she never attended any wilder party than a “mite society” or a lady's aid, and gallants even in that day did not fre- quent these social affairs. Poor girl had no chance to meet the eligibles of the period, who | drove side-bar buggies and took an occasional | drink. The only ones who had the enterprise to thrill a girl with the old bunk that has ever been new since Adam sprung it on the innocent and guileless Eve. So the school teacher, of, let us say the Vic- torian period, remained as faithfully celibate as did the sister of mercy. She just tought school. That was all. And that was enough. Men were much more difficult to teach and apparently much less worth while. In this year of grace things have changed. The change has not come all at once, it has crept upon us gradually and largely without our knowledge. It must be the advancement of civil- ization that has overetaken us. The school teach- ers of this day and the day referred to are as different as it is possible to make two sets of young women. There is nothing prim or austere about the girls who are engaged in imparting in- formation to the young by sight and sound in this day. You can’t tell them from the rest of female humanity. If it is the style to wear bobbed hair, they wear it. If fashion decrees short skirts, they have them fi If ear rings come in, they wear ’em more distinctive. There is nothing in dress, deportment or even learning to distinguish them from other folks. And what’s more, the modern school teacher mar- ries, She is bright, attractive, dresses well and has it all over the teacher of the older day when it comes to charming and taming the wise guy of the male species. She fares forth with her hat cocked over one eye, in search of adyen- ture and usually bring back the bacon, and then there is a vacancy in theteaching force, and work for the substitute. So busy has the modern school teacher been of late, being rounded up by Cupid that she has caused a shortage of competent and qualified help in the schools of a dozen cities in the coun- try. School boards are becoming discouraged, and superintendents beside themselves with vex- ation. These school authorities are howling lust- ily. They make no secret of their complaints. They say it is like this: They chase all over crea- tion to find competent young women for school work and after a few years service, it is dis- apvointing to have them resign, to take up the business of giving orders to husbands. As a regular thing, superintendents, prin- ples and boards of education are more inter- ested in securing good teachers and keeping them, than they are in the nuptial hazards of the young ladies who fill the teaching require- ments, It is a large question, and we do not presume to answer it or even suggest a way to sidestep the calamity that impends the education of the youth of the land. If we only had a supply of those old girls that once held sway in school rooms before potted plants and pictures on the walls came in, all would be well. The flappers could go on their way to,what misery or happi- ness that awaited them, but education would not be endangered. Silent for Once Senator La Follette is another of our voyagers who is gathering data on the European situation with which to paralyze congress and startle the world when he explodes it early in December. Among other countries in which he has been doing original research work is Russia and the papers all say that he departed from that un- happy land “in silence.” The silence was Senator La Follette’s. It is unusual, for it is the first time since he could sit up and talk that he has omitted to do so, Whether he had said it all during his stay in the land of the Soviet and had run entirely out of talk or whether conditions viewed by our earnest investigator were so ap- palling as to render him speechless is not stated in the cable news that filters in from that far land that produces more whiskers and less goy- ernment than any other on the globe. If this silence developed in Senator LaFollette Russia continues he will receive a welcome not rded any other of our returning Euro- pean viistors. The rest have come home sur- charged with information and a desire to spread it. If Senator LaFollette returns speechless it will be a relief and a boon to the public. Still somehow, the news seems too good. We fear the silent spell will not last. That it is only tempor. ary ill health, or something that will pass, and give us ck the same old loquacious LaFollette. in The Vanishing Middle Class Some one of our numerous lecturers states that the middle cl in Russia has been destroyed by the Bolshevists, and that the middle class in Germany has nearly ceased to exist because of the economic law in connection with the depre- ciation of the mark. The capitalists or “bourgeois” class is hated by the Bolshevist, and the idea of Lenine and his group was to have nothing but a proletariat class in Russia, The rich, the intellectual, the successful manufacturing or merchandising classes were killed, driven into exile or forced to become laborers. For many years the world has believed that the health and wealth of a nation is best meas- ured by the condition of its middle class citi- zens, rather than by the wealth or numbers of the very rich or the very poor, The Russians have tried to believe that tho al condition of the world is to have nobody rise above the low level of the proletariat, ex- ting the small group that controls their coun- try by military force. In Germany no such crazy idea is prevalent but the middie class has been driven to manual labor, because the swift shrinking of the mark has made it impossible for middle class men and women to live on their salaries or income. In England we hear of the new poor, that are sometimes called the white collar class. Work. men through organized labor have secured in- crease of wages to compensate for increased cost of living, but millions of clerks, bookkeepers, and others who are not organized to fight the public find very small increase in salary to atly pay gr increased taxes and a cost of li ing much higher than before the war, While the middle class is suffering hardship and even disappearing in some parts of Darope, | the same pre 8 is going on at a less rapid!

The subscriptions by the Red Cross Chapter are in addition to this amount.

The Game and Fish department ts sadly undermanned on account of inadequate funds, and each man has to cover a territory so large that the best he can do is only a fraction of what should be done. Now; I want to make an appeal to the real sportsmen and those who want to see our game and fish protected, so that our children can enjoy at least a measure of sport. Whenever a breach of the game and fish law comes to your notice, report the matter at once to the Game and Fish department, and I will assure you that it will receive immediate attention. It is the duty, and should be the pleasure of all true sportsmen to do this, and if, when any violations of the game and fish laws come to your notice, you will at once notify the nearest officer, giving him all of the data you can, and signing your name, you will find that we will soon begin to get results, and violations will decrease. The automobile has removed the factor of distance in hunting and fishing, and the supply of game and fish is limited, so if we can not get the co-operation of the public in the enforcement of the law, the time is not far distant when we will have neither. My district embraces southern Natrona, Northern Carbon, South- eastern Fremont and Northeastern Sweetwater counties and any viol ations occurring therein should be reported to me and will receive my prompt attention. JAMES A. CRAWFORD Deputy Game and Fish Con missionep, Alcova, Wyoming Boy Scouts Council EVANSTON—There will be © meeting at 8:00 p.m. at the City Hall, Saturday, Sept. 22nd for the purpose of organizing a Local Coun cil of the Boy Scouts of America for Uinta county Every one that is interested in scouting is invited to be present.

The American Legion of Evanston is the organization that is doing the initiative work of the organization of this local council. With them fostering the move it is bound to be a success. Organize Athletic Club EVANSTON—Plans have been partially made to make the Orpheus Hall into a gymnasium five nights a week for the benefit of the people of Evanston. Three nights a week will be devoted to the men and boys and two nights a week will be for women and girls, This will do a lot of good as far as phys: ical development is concerned as well as furnish a lot of good clean amusement. Volley ball courts will be installed arrangements will be made for in door baseball; wrestling mats; box- ing gloves and punching bags will be available. In addition to the amusements that will be afforded thru good clean games, regular courses of instruction will be given in physical development that will be for the betterment of all that take part. There will be a meeting of every- one that is interested at the Or. pheus Hall Wednesday evening, ept. 19, at 8:00 p. m. It ts ex that a good representation of both men and women will be vresent at that meeting. Assisting Unfortunate} Will Join Federation KEMMERER—At the last regu- lar meeting of the Kemmerer Civic Club it was decided that they should federate with the State Women's Club, They will accordingly send delegates to the State Convention of Women's Clubs to be held on Sep- tember 26th, at Rock Springs. Mrs. P. J. Quealey, Mrs. J. R. Marquis. and Mrs. Ed Horris will represent the local organization at this con- vention from the Delphian Study Class. 7 At this meeting, also, diplomas were given the seven young ladies who had completed the course in Home Hygiene and care of the sick. Those who received the diplomas were as follows: Angelina M. Car- ollo of Diamondville, Delores Stree- man and Jeanette Easton of Oak- ley, and Anna K. and Helen M. Fedotr and Alice and Virginia Hall of Frontier, Out of a class of 32 that started, but seven completed the course, and not one of these girls were from Kemmerer. The Civic Club are anxious to in- crease their membership, and pros- pective members are urged to send their names to Mrs. Marquis.or Mrs. Quealy prior to the convention in Rock Springs. Meetings are held the last Friday of each month. Trains Kills Livestock THERMOPOLIS—Passenger train No. 29, northbound, late yesterday fternoon ran into a bunch of stock the Garrett hot water well north of town and killed nine horses and a mule. There was no accident to the train, which was not running at a high rate of speed. The carcisses were thrown clear of the rails, some of them landing in the hot water pond that comes from the wells and some landing on the river side of the tracks, Men and teams are at work removing the dead anima)s from the water and hauling them Scarcely Believable KEMMERER—Like the. shoemak- er who wears the poorest grade of shoes, the carpenter who resides in the poorest house and the printer who never has a business card, Kemmerer, a coal mining center, has been suffering from a coal fa- mine, which was relieved during the week somewhat by a few loads being brought in from @ wagon mine near the city. It is reported that orders for fifty loads of coal have been placed with teamsters during the past two weeks and the householders are stil! awaiting delivery. Some relief has been obtained by teaming a few loads from Diamondville, where it seem’ to be procurable. It would appear that if some enterprising in dividual would set up a coal busi ness in Kemmerer and advertise the fact, he would do a Iand-office bus: ine: Transmission Line RIVERTON—The work on the electric transmission line, being con- structed by the Reclamation Service in connection with the Riverton Pro- ject, is being pushed rapidly by the | Cheyenne Construction Company, which recently was awarded the con- tract, At this writing fourteen miles of the twenty-eight contracted for has been completed. In another thirty days the entuwe job as planned at this time will be completed. Mr. J. 8. McIntyre, an experienced electrical man, is in charge of the construction crew. Nineteen men are employed at the work, and it is understood that the camp will be moved to Pavillion within a few days, and the work completed from that point. Organize Girl Scouts RIVERTON—Within the last few weeks a local organization of the 3irl Scouts of America has been per- fected in Riverton. The organization is one of international scope, and the work is very similar to that carried on by the Boy Scouts. Scouting for girls was originated by Sir Robert Baden Powell in Eng- land and the members are known there as Girl Guides. The first Girl Scout was a French Canadian— Magdelaine DeVercheres—and the honor of the first American Girl Scout has been awarded Sacajawea, “The Bird Woman.” Membership in the organization in Riverton is open to any girl between the ages of ten and eighteen.
