Pi i i cena cite I SPL TS It Is Fate A calamity if it be‘ remote, and those most af, ed unknown to us, does not concern us, like one at our y door in which our friands and acquaintances ‘are involved. _ ; The bridge disaster on the Burlington fifteen miles east of the city is the worst thing of its kind to occur in the railroad history of this part of the state, whatever the loss of life may ultimately prove to be. . Within the half hour those who went to their death, by no fault of their own or the transpor- tation company carrying them, were bidding rel- atives ad friends good bye on the station plat- form with no thought of the fate that was so quickly to overtake them. Then came the dread- ful announcement. Madison, Monroe, Lincoln, Cleveland, Roosevelt | and Wilson, Mr. Coolidge has adyantaged by the , study and the knowledge of law. Unlike Jeffer- son, Roosevelt and Wilson, but like Madison, Monroe, Lincoln and Cleveland, Calvin Coolidge is a lawyer by practice as well as by profession. is Mr. Coolidge as a president, bothered with a legal mind?” ‘The legal mind clamors for the rule, the great lawyers insists upon solving the perplexing problems by reason. Lincoln was perhaps the greatest lawyers ever in the White House, but Lincoln was not “both- ered” with a legal mind. Had he been, he would have let the wayward sisters go in peace. He would not have issued the proclamation of emancipation. His “legal mind” would have restrained him from waging the war te keep the nation intact. It would have stayed the hand that freed the slave. In No Sense Epential Some folks devoted to agriculture have ex- pressed the opinion also the hope that the next . They probably believe that the election of a farmer president would be of greater advant- age to the farming population. This may well be doubted. It is too narrow a view to take of a person who is to be a chief executive of more than a hundred million people devoted to a multitude of interests. The selection of a cap able and suitable man, regardless of his busi- ness or profession would be of vastly greater benefit to agriculture than the choosing of a man merely because he happened to be a farmer. This is simply an expression of the class id Carried to its logical conclusion it would mean a number of candidates, each representing a par- ticular class. The manufacturers would have a candidate, the labor unions would have a candi- date, the professional men a candidate and so on down the line until every group and bloc was nicely fitted out with a candidate representing their particular interest. It is supposed that the winning class would expect to reap some spe- cial benefit as the result of the election of their candidate—an idea that is just about as un- American as anything could well be. We have imported this class notion from Eu- rope of recent years, and it is one of the least valyable of our importations. The American ideal has been equal opportunity for all, and special privilege for none. The class idea is ex- actly opposed to this. It contemplates an unequal opportunity for some, a special privilege for o few, and it makes no particular difference who advocates it—the injury to America is just the Kealization comes slowly in such circum- stances. We cannot grasp the occurrence in its many aspects, Our mind constantly reverts to some ‘precaution that should have been taken to save our friends and acquaintances from such doom. We are shocked because of the suddeness of the occurrence and saddened by the loss of those | near to us. It is no comfort to know that sim- ilar and worse incidents are happening the world | over every day. Somehow, someway, our own should be spared. God in his mysteries and the elements, re- spect nor shield persons nor localities. In the midst of life we are in death. The Legal Mind A friend argued to Mr. Coolidge, when he was governor of Massachusetts, with reference to a wll he had just signed, that it was unconstitu- tional. The governor replied “Dorman, you are bothered with having a judicial mind.” same whether it is advocated in behalf of the farmers, the lawyers, the manufacturers, thé la- bor unions or any other group. What the American people want in the White Hfouse, and everywhere else under the Amer- Jican government, are men whose first thought is to fulfill the American tradition of a square deal for everybody. It makes no difference from what walk in life they come. What they be- lieve and what they do are the important con- cerns, All things considered, the United States has not fared so badly in the hundred and forty-odd years of its existence. It has had but one farmer president—the first—although many of its pres idents have been born on farms, Mr. Coolidge jineluded. Most of them have been lawyers. But jtheir occupations have not beén important. They are judged, net as lawyers or farmers, but by what they did. That is the only standard to japply to the president of the future. There is no good reason why a farmer should not be pres- ident of the United States nor is there a good The president Jefferso farmer should by How many times have you wished that you knew more about what happened in Casper ten, twenty, or thirty years ago.

It does not attempt to perform the impos- sible, it does rot seek to reform merely by an act of legislation, think- ing that it can unload its burden on the government and be relieved from further effort. It does not under- take to assume responalbility for all humanity. But it realizes that re-| demption comes only through sac: riftice. When a crisis arises, it doés| not hesitate to go out and make! whatever sacrifice is necessary master the occasion. “It fs this kind of practical {deal- ism that {fs represented in the his- tory of our country, a deep faith in spiritual things, tempered by a} hard common sense adapted to the} needs of this wor'd. It has been illustrated in the character of the| men who planted colonies in the wil-| derness and raised up great states! around the chureh and the school house, who bought the'r indepen- dence with their blood and cast out slavery by the sacrifice of their bravest sons, who offered their lives} to give more freedom to oppressed peoples and who went to the rescue of Europe with their treasure and their men when their own liberty and the liberty of the world was in peril. But when the victory was secure, retired from the field unen- cumbered by spolls, independent, un- attached ‘and unbought, still contin- uing to contribute lavishly to the re'lef of the stricken and destitute of the Old World, and who, but recently being asked for $5,000,000, immed- lately gave about twice that amount | for the afflicted people of Japan. Such has been the moral purpose that has marked the conduct of our country up to the present hour. ‘The| American people have never adopted and are not likely to adopt any other | course.’ The Unknown Hero A cold moonless night of rain Thru the dark a speeding train.

ELMER N. MAY Baffling Case | LARAMIE.—A case of more than | usual interest to the people of Al-| bany county, and one which is baffling the best legal minds is that roncerning the homestead entry of a man named Trevetikiey, which is | contested by the town of Bster-| brook, in the Federal court at Chey- enne. Trevetikiey’s homestead included | a part of the so-called townsite of the little inland town, but his right |Was not questioned until he tried to make final proof on the land. Esterbrook then contested the entry, claiming prior right. A decision against Trevetikiey in the Federal court means that a larger amount of taxes will be paid unty, from the land as a town- than could be collected other- ise. Such a decision would estad- h the question as to whether Esterbrook is really a townsite. On the county records, it does not ap- pear as such, and therefore is not at present officially a town. ttereaec ea Dance at Haygood's postponed Atrain to eternity bound; |?
