In prize tighting the pugilist tries to do up the other pugilist. The moment that an of- ficial discovers any player in a football uniform trying prize-fighting methods on an opponent, the college game it is not the law of the field to fellow on the other side, but precisely this ob- \ject lies in every fighter’s mind when he goes into the ring. “Life will never be lived greatly until we rise) above the level of merely animal instincts and \covet for our souls the higher things of the mor- al and spiritual life.

One man govern- ment is held up as the ideal. There is no charge that Senator Shields was @isloyal to the government, that he neglected his duties, or that he was corrupt. His sole of- fense was that he did not prove to be unfailingly dependable as a follower of Woodrow Wilson. “The state! I am the state’ is the Wilsonian theory. Apparently the sole basis for the criticism aimed by the former dictator against his party associate is that Shields refused to vote to rat- ify the peace treaty with its league of nations incubus. Senator Shields declined to yield to the Wilson demand that the United States make the “supreme sacrifice.” For all practical purposes the league issue is dead in the United States and, for that matter, throughout the world. Although the United Btates would not go into a league controlled by a few European nations and certain to cater to the interests of those nations, this country hoped that the league might be of some service in straightening out European quarrels. We put no obstacles in its path and wished it success. It has fallen so far short of usefulness in the con- troversies where it was really offered an oppor tunity that even its friends have lost confidence in its efficacy as a promoter of peace. Since the league issue is dead, it would be bet- ter if its American advocates would leave it out of current discussion. The letter written by Mr. Wilson to the Democrats of Tennessee dem- onstrates that there is no such intention and that the league will be made a part of the Dem- ocratic campaign of 1924 if possible. Notwithstanding that Senator Shields was gound on the question of the supreme sacrifice, there are abundant reasons why he should be re- tired at the end of his present term and be suc- ceeded by a Republican. That, however, is not what the former president wants. He desires the nomination of a Democratic candidate who will yield his own judgment to the judgment of the executive. He wants a senate made up of rubber stamps. The Republican administration has taken the lead in world peace by its successful limitation of armaments conference; it has practiced eco- nomy and reduced federal taxation; it did every- thing that could possibly be done to relieve the misfortunes of the farmers; it enacted an Amer- ica-first tariff law that has not been prohibitive in its effects; it has secured a satisfactory un derstanding with Mexico, it has roads on the way to recovery from the destruc- tiveness of government operation; it has follow- ed policies that ended unemployment and gave jobs to four million idle men, it brought liberty bonds back to par after a depression of fifteen per cent; it has suggested the only practical plan for the adjustment of the reparations dispute. The record is one that should be endorsed by the people of Tennessee by the election of a Re- publican to the senate. Sports and Prize Fighting The Rey. Herbert Jump recently delivered a sermon to the student body of the Michigan uni- versity on a text of college sports, and as he no less true today, for men and officers of the| |two navies, conversant with the facts are alive | today and would be pleased to testify, to the end| that Great Britaain would forego her claim for | | damage. There were two cables running out of the city of Manila. Commodore Dewey knew of ouly one cable. That one he promptly cut. Immediately after the battle Admiral Seymour boarded Com- modore Dewey’s flagship, the Olympia. The two exchanged the compliments of the quarter deck, or whatever deck it was, and then the Commo-| dore said, “Admiral I have cut the cable.” Whereat the British officer winked a know- ing wink at the American officer and said, “Which cable, commodore?” Nothing more was said. ‘There was no need of further conversation. Commodore Dewey thor- oughly understood the language of the sea and all other signs used in communication between high naval officers. Commodore Dewey simply grappled for the it in two. Accepting these things as facts, where does the responsibility lie for cutting the second cable and the resultant alleged damage? At the door of the American commodore who actually did the cutting or at the door of the British admiral who apprised the American commodore of the was unaware, and who by divers and sundry winks and grimaces then and there made, prac- tically urged the said American commodore and| jdared him, and otherwise reflected upon his, | the commodore’s perspicacity? It is a sporting proposition, long enjoyed by the officers of the two great navies and despite | \the solemnity that will envelop the London hear- | jing of the case, if the facts are developed, no| |damages will be assessed. American Idealism It is sometimes averred that America has lost the idealism that actuated our people during the | war. Because we did not enter the league of na- tions some think that we have become sordid and are groveling in selfish materialism unmind- ful of the rest of the world. This view is the re- sult of a sort of mental strabismus. Because one thing, that some people wanted, failed of reali- zation, everything is wrong. It is false reason- ig. That we still possess some idealism, that we terly selfish, surely was demonstrated apan, a brief time g order still when there is a valid claim for its manifestation.

It is no uncommon thing for Casper folks to go away from home and talk about Casper. It} has grown to be pretty much of a habit, but it 1s a little unusual to have a story float back that is not in some particular slightly over- drawn, The inclination is to use to much deep red in painting the pic- ture. Mr. Gunn, we are frank to say, is not in the class referred to; his story of Casper is to be commended for its truthfulness and its con- Servativeness, After statimg that the people of Casper, in his opinion, had every reason for belleving that the city would have a population of 50,000 within the next few: years, the Kemmerer story continues: Mr. Gunn stated that a recent survey conducted by the Telephone company disclosed that there were leecondlickhie cadshed: ree. 1 over 28,000 people within the cor-/ ght it upiand prompily/chopped | oor tevibnite Geattie "ally toe Cancer in addition to this there are 3,500 persons in the town of Mills, which over 1,000 in the town of Evans- ville, which adjoins it on the east.

These include wholesale dealers and ofl and well material dealers.” Paxton and Gallagher, McCord Brady, and J, F. Brown have erect- ed or are erecting substantial bust- ness houses there. Other industries are coming in and each is building for the future. ‘The school system in Casper ts perhaps the best in the state, ac- cording to Mr. Gunn, who explained sue of adjoins Casper on the west, and! tries which necesarily followed as| supply, an excellent sewer system, and while they are behind in their building program, this is explained by the really phenomenal growth of the olty.

Mr. Gunn fs of the opinion that Casper and Wyoming generally, would go ahead by leaps and bounds | if it were not for a combination of | circumstances. Ho explained the enormity of the oil industry in the state, stating that his company in and around Casper and the Salt Creek fields employed over 35,000 persons, and that the Midwest pay- roll directly and indirectly affected 100,000 persons. He stated that be- fore the war China was using 65 per cent of the kerosene produced in the state of Wyoming, and that Germany was the greatest foreign user of lubricants. Following the war England withdrew her support from China, and consequently China has been unable to purchase her normal supply of kerosene and other by-products of oil, and Germany cannot purchase anything. Thus the best markets for the greatest Wyoming product are destroyed, and the Midwest company alone is forced to store millions and millions of barrels of crude ofl in the state. From this oil they can only find a market for gasoline, with the result that the gasoline market is flooded. This accounts for the phesent com- paratively low price of this product in many sections. In spite of this condition the com- pany is required, in addition to the money expended for their physical equipment and operating expenses, to pay the government five cents a barrel on every barrel of crude taken from the ground. Their ap- proximate cost of storing this oil is 41 cents per barrel, which tn- | cludes the cost of operating and TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1923. pees esd aan alt co id beatles de fictery., ‘He ertimated tno oon| JAPAN Quakes |80 or 00 days, the largest campaen| Smash Houses in the history of the local factory. _ TOKIO, Oct. %-—Severe earth- quakes shook Tatio Formosa, Satur- day, destroying many houses, aoc- cording to official reports received in Tokio.
