Our Own America Distinguished reformers have been rush- ing to Russia to get ideas on how to make our country a place fit to live in. hah So far as we have been able to judge, this is about the pick of countries of the world as an abiding place and after close examination we fail to see that any great amount of fixing is| she | good just as neces: She is pretty ; about everybody with stands and satisfactory t the good sense to appreciate the blessings we have and to help keep them out of the ch of the’ reformers, who are in reality nothing but destructionists. America, in three hundrede years of history has created a national wealth of three hundred billion dollars, while Great Britain, in two thou- sand years of creative opportunity, has amassed a national wealth of one hundred seventy bil- lion dolars. William Goodson of Balderson England, now in this country, workman scarcely knows what it is to own an automobile. American workmen are far better fed, better housed, better paid than those of | England.” If this is a correct comparison between Amer- ica and her nearest rival, what would be the comparison between America and some other} lands which our “social reformers” ask us to| emulate! When the American moron yells— “On with the Revolution,” straight-thinking Ameri- can labor is likely to reply—‘“Not us!” Mr. Hapgood and his kind who fill space for Mr. Hearst and the several United States sena- tors, all of whom have recently visited Russia, may be telling us of the superiority of the I Soviet system, but we are in advance doubting the impression upon the American workingman or anybody else, except the sojourners from that benighted land here for the one purpose of secur- ing support and wealth to sustain the failed ex- ent of communism in Russia. American labor ig wise. Too wise to quit a ee thing for what they know is an impossi- Searles, edttor of United Mine Workers’ Journal, declares Soviet Russia should not be reco; by the United States. He said recog- nition would be “a calamity world-wide in its effect,” and that in the United States there are 6,000 or 7,000 communists trying to “bore from within in existing labor organizations.” The American Federation of Labor is even now dilegently and systematically at work root- ing out the Reds who have crept into the branches of that organization. No. there is not going to be any molestation of American institutions, either by fool American reformers, or emissaries from foreign parts. Mark that down in your vest pocket memoran- dam book, and American organized labor will do its part to sustain our instiutions and preserve the things it has helped to create. Be Patient—Be Polite Writing in Harpers’ Magazine Edward 8S. Mar. tin has written a brief essay on a subject that will have a wide appeal. It may be read with profit by those on the one side as well as the other side of business. He writes: “Tt has been suggested that there would be timeliness in a little discourse about the exped- iency of being polite to everyone and not using harsh language even in one’s business. Does something really need to be said about that? ‘I know cases of very likely young men who were permanently damaged by too much energy of ad monition in their employers!’ So says our com rade who appeals for gentleness. We all know of such cases. The world, in spite of all the discip- line it has lately undergone, still abounds in persons who think their own way by far the best, and do not hesitate to impose their will on oth ers if they can. Some such persons seem to do pretty well in life, but not because they are over- bearing, but in spite of it. They may have great virtues combined with their defects. They may be qualified by resolution and persistence to deal with difficult situations and drive muddle successfully through them. They usually leave more or fewer casualties behind them, lives part ly thwarted, natures twisted, wills cheated out of their development, be effective, though at high cost. In every dozen households there are individuals of that quality; verbearing men, with wills and limited ng, who get their own way rd to fight them. But such people are not good to live with, and particularly not good to work for, though they may be fairly generous because they thwart the development of character, Violence is not crea tive or even constructive. Energy to be sure, ac complishes things, but and not harsh ness. People are to ents up, be they sometimes get and to con clude that noise is a sign energy. But very quiet people, thoughtful of others and consid erate, often haye ndous driving for y hold their line at ‘they the s¢ or women oyerdeveloped understandi because it is too har not mix the togethe of nois cause trem) ha | Pe | requisite to the successful direction of other peo- |ple. The seat of power is not in the body but in aid the other day “The English | but they may in their way the spirit. To be self-controlled, to be polite, to} govern ones’ own speech—those are the accom- plishments of successful managers.” Two Equal Demands People who urge tax revision downward fail to voice at the same time the demand which| should precede—expense revision downward. Peo- ple ask for increased appropriations from the public treasury for all sorts of things and then | follow that demand with a request for lower taxes. Larger appropriations and lower taxes cannot possibly go together. In order to be strictly hon- est with himself and his representatives in state or national government, any man who asks for a new or larger appropriation from the treasury should couple with it a phrase reading “and in- creased taxation accordingly.” The difficulty in holding down public expendi- tures is that few people realize that government expenses must in the end come out of their own pockets. Although, on careful analysis, they would admit that this must be true, they over- look the fact when they advocate some new or increased expense for government purposes. Federal taxes were made high by the war—a burden which this country could not evade, al- though it has been many times proven that the expense was larger than necessary due to mis- management and extravagance. Nevertheless, un- der the present administration there has been a steady reduction of expenditures and taxes until now the appropriations for the ordinary activ- ities of the government are practically back to normal. The president, the heads of departments, and members of appropriation committees of con- gress, are co-operating in an effort to keep ex- penses down. Their efforts in this direction will be helped very materially if individual citizens and organ- izations of citizens will not merely refrain from asking for larger appropriations but will actively oppose such movements when inaugurated by others. Every indivdual and every organization jasking for a new or larger appropriation should be placed on record as favoring increased tax- tion that will be necessary. When the two are joined in the public mind limitation of taxes will be easier. Purifying Live Stock Exchanges As a result of recent investigations under the jact of congress designed to assure a square deal to live stock producers, nine firms have been |fined by the stock exchange at St. Paul, seven firms have been indefinitely barred from the} stock yards and two of those fined have gone out of business. All of these, in addition to the pun- ishment imposed by the stock exchange are still subject to punishment by the federal law. The investigations are under the direction of secretary of agriculture and in the present se the members of the exchange have co-oper- ted with the government in very sincere fash- ion. All came forward with their books and ac- counts and such information as they possessed. The investigation disclosed one rather unex- pected and amazing condition — that in most cases where there was evidence of fraud the vio- lation of law and rules was in the form of an apparently corrupt arrangement between a com- mission firm and the managers of local farmers’ |shipping associations by which the latter get a “rake-off’? on some shipments. Whether this “rake-off” went into the pockets of the members of the farmers’ association or into the personal |pockets of the managers remaing to be disclosed \after an investigation of the books and accounts of the local associations. The deplorable feature of this incident is that it shows that whereas farmers have been com- plaining that they do not get a square deal, some of their own authorized representatives have been parties to irregularities. It should be explained that under the federal |law for the regulation of stockyards and pack- ers, the department cannot impose penalties in the fi instance, but, where irregularities are discovered can issue orders to cease, after which any infraction of the law or rules will subject the offender to fine, When the St. Paul irreg- ularities were discovered they were at once re- ported to the owners of stockyards and to the exchange, which authorities immediately took proper action, without awaiting the completion of the investigation. By this proceeding the de- partment does not waive any rights it has to further proceed against the offenders. The course followed has put the worst offend. ers out of business at once. The minor ones will be caught in the net of the general investigation which is still in progress. th ‘American Builders There are two classes of American builders who ought to be immortalized. One class is com- posed of those stalwart and seemingly inspired fathers who laid the foundation of this republic, seemingly the first dependable, representative, popular government on the face of the earth. |But no less important are the rugged pioneers | who marched under the light of the westward star of empire and laid the foundations of the reat western commonwealths, which have done o much in contributing to the expansion and the enlargement and the glorification of the American nation. I sometimes think we have been remiss in pay- ing a just estimate to the work of the pioneers. One of my age can have no intimate knowledge of the hardships they endured of the personal- ities that they developed; but I can recall in my | boyhood time a very interesting experience when |the sons and the daughters of the men of Ohio | were attracted by the lure of the still farther | west, at a time when railway transportation had not opened up the great avenues of the west, when a class of our sturdy sons and daughters, bred by those stalwarts who had developed the 3uckeye state—and I speak of it as only one of |many contributing states—these sons and daugh- |ters, with barely more than sufficient means to furnish a wagon and team with a very limited quipment, took all that they had of material |possessions, and with courage in their hearts nd resolution in their breasts made the over- }land trip westward to contribute to the jewels in the crown of the expanded nation, T know that |in those days they succeeded because they were made of stern stuff which had developed amid discouragement at home. They had failed |in their undertakings for one reason or another, jand they were resolved to start anew, just as the New England fathers did when they planted |their first colony at Plymouth Rock. And out of |that resolution and their hardships and their simple life, out of that determination to do them-! elyes, they laid the foundations of the develop r Whoever they re, no matter from started these pioneers were tt Warren G Harding.

Floods Damage Highways SHERIDAN—Between $15,000 and $20,000 will be necessary to repair the damage dono to roads and bridges in highway district No. 2a, comprising Sheridan and Johnson counties, it is estimated by Clyde R. Wood, district highway engineer. A thorough investigation of the ef- fects of the flood shows that. the damage will not be as great as it was feared at first. During the height of the flood, highway officials feared that the loss might be $50, 000. ‘With the arrangement of two de- tours, the road between Sheridan and Casper was opened Thursday. The first of these detours is 27 miles south of Buffalo, and the other just at the entrance to Salt Creek. In the second case, the detour is around by way of Lavoye. In two cases channels of streams have been changed so as to make the bridges in their present position useless. The new channel of the north fork of Powder river near Kayces is twice as wide as the old channel and four feet deeper. The abutments are settling and it will be necessary to change the location of the bridge. The bridge across the south fork of Crazy Woman creek has widened 20 feet, and it will be necessary ta lengthen the bridge. ‘Again the Grade Crossing PINE BLUFFS—A Ford car driv- en by Menzo Hespen of Burns, who waa accompanied by his sister, Miss Glo Hespen, and Miss Grace Hall of Burns, was struck by a freight train at the Main street crossing. It !s reported that the occupants were un- injured, but the car gustained a broken wheel, bent fender, and other damage. The freight wag eastbound and had cut the train at the crossing, the engine picking up some cars, When it backed up to recouple onto the train, the rear car on the string struck the Ford roadster, inflicting the damage as stated. ! tains were on the car a the accident occurred, which about 7 o'clock in the evening. was Land Bank Appraisers SHERIDAN—Appraisers of the federal land bank of Omaha are ex- pected to arrive here soon to pass on loan applications under the fed- eral land bank act, according to B. T. Joslin, local representative of the land bank. Their object will be to finish appraisals for prospective new loan applications before snow flies. J. C. Underwood, one of the directors, and W. A. Kelly, an en- gineer and one of the bank's ap. paisers, were in Sheridan last week in the interest of the bank.

Mr. Kelly is a/ drainage engineer of considerable| prom/nence and is the man who put in the drainage system in the Lovell neighborhood about 10 years ago, The appraisers were in Sher!- dan county in September, and Mr. Jeslin says there is no largo ac- curnulation of loan applications at this time. Record Rainfall RIVERTON—According to official records of the local weather bureau, A inches of rain fell in Riverton from Thursday morning to Monday evening. During the 24-hour period between Thursday morning and Friday morning the precipitation measured 3.75 inches, The local weather observer re ports that Riverton registered the heaviest precipitation in this section during the recent rains, with the exception of Sinks station. The rains caused considerable damage in the aggregation, but no great loss in any particular spot. Ditch Manager Chapin reports dam- age to the irrigation eystem at va- rious points. Manager H, D. Comstock states that work on the Riverton Recla- mation project will be delayed at least ten days, owing rainfall which caused large ditch bank, Th estimated at $3,000. Scarcity of Workers RIVERTON—Roy Sweet has re- tuned from Billings, Mont., bring- ing with him seventeen workers for the Riverton Reclamation project. Scarcity of workers in this com- munity necessitated the demand on the Billings market, Roy experienced considerable dif- ficulty in chaperoning his crew to Riverton. The party was able to reach Thermopolis where they were delayed by suspension of rail serv- ice due to the washouts in the can- on between that city and Bonneville. Chartering several four-horse teams Roy drove his proteges to Shoshon! and transported them from there to Riverton tn cars, He re- ports that the horse-drawn vehicles traveled slowly, especially over Birdseye pass. Placed In Vets’ Hospital SHERIDAN—Through an ar rangement made by county officials with Col, Charles A. Barlow, com- mandant at Fort Mackenzie veter- ans’ hospital, William Walling, who was apprehended Tuesday at Day- ton while in a demented condition, will be placed in the hospital for treatment.
