Break ‘Em Off Or Drive 'Em In, Once again let us call attention to the ends of bolts embedded in the sidewalks upon the prin- cipal streets of the business district, that once in the long ago furnished anchorage for trash cans which ornamented the street corners, Strange as it may seem after all these years the stub ends of the bolts remain. The city au- thorities having jurisdiction over the streets and sidewalks being too occupied to remove this men- ace to the corns of the pedestrian. ‘ If a person stumbles over these projecting bolts, during the day he is not alone, for at least a thousand of his fellow citizens do tho saine thing. And what is more nine hundred and ninety nine of the stumblers use profanity about it. More than one hastening citizens bent on busi- ness up street somewhere, has been late to his engagement on account of these iron pins in the concrete. More than one citizen has ruined a per- pectly good shoe by coming in contact with these stub ends of a large city’s neglect. More than one citizen has been humiliated in the eyes of passers by, by measuring his length on the un- feeling concrete by not detouring these firmly embedded nuisances, It is the hope of all sufferers from intimate association with useless iron pegs in the side- walks, that the gentlemen responsible for fa ure to remove said pegs, that they, the gentle- men, may some day be seized by an angry popu- lace and placed thereon, namely and towit the said pegs, in a sitting posture there to be forc- ibly detained for a period of one legal working day of eight hours, as a punishment and a pen- ance for their lack of diligence in ministering to the peace and comfort of a patient and long suf- fering public. Government By Law or Force The American people have two alternatives, either a government of law based on the consti- tution, or a government of force. Such is the opinion of President Coolidge as expressed in a letter in connection with the celebration of the one hundred thirty-sixth anniversary of the sign- ing of the constitution. “The constitution is not self-perpetuating,” said the president's letter. “If it will survive it will be because it has public support. It means mak- ing adequate sacrifice to maintain what is of public ben . “The constitution of the United States is the final refuge of every right that is enjoyed by any American citizen. So long as it is observed, those rights will be secure. Whenever it falls into disrespect or disrepute, the end of orderly organ- ized government, as we have known it for more than ye will be at hand. The constitution represents a government of law. There is only one other form of authority, and that is a goyern- ment of force. Americans yuust make their choice between these two, One signifies justice and lib. the other ty: y and oppression. ‘To live the American, constitution is the greatest privilege accorded/to the human race.” President Coolidge is one of the best students of the American constitution in public life to- day. His devotion to that fundamental instru- ment of our government has been constant and his support of.it upon all occasions has been vig- and u 1. In an husetts court on January 8, 1920, said: “Our government belongs to the people. Our property belongs to the people. It is distributed. They own it. The taxes are paid by the people. They bear the burdens. The benefits of govern- ment must accrue to the people; not one class but to all classes, to all the people. The func tions, the power, the sovereignty of the goy- ernment must be kept where they haye been plac- ed by the constitution 1 laws of the people.” In his capacity governor, he vetoed a bill passed by the Massachusetts legislature provid- ing for the manufacture and sale of beer, In his yeto messuge he said: “By the solemn adoption of an amendment to the fundemental law of the land jurisdiction of this subject has been placed in congress. It ought to be left there until it is declared with equal solemnity by the supreme court that such amend- ment is voil * * * That which the court hesitates to decide, I shall not hasten to declare, My oath was not to take a chance on the constitution. It was to support it. * * * “We have had too much legislating by clamor, by tumult, by pressure. Representative govern- ment ceases when outside influence of any kind is substituted.

We should take from our customers such of their products as we can use without harm to our industry and labor.” In recent years, internationalists and free traders, both enemies of the American policy of protective tariff, have persistently misrepresent- ed President McKinley's Jast utterance by omit- ting from their references to his Buffalo speech the two sentences quoted above. They have claim- ed that in his last speech he admitted the un- wisdom of our protective policy and urged his countrymen to abandon it and permit our mar- . As the above quotation clearly shows in his last public address President McKinley was un- alterably opposed to any economic policy which injured American industry and labor, and re- mained as stauch a friend of the protective tariff system as he was when he was in congress and led the fight for the enactment of the McKinley tariff. In the presidential campaign of 1920, Senator Harding, speaking as the Republican candidate said, relative to the need of protecting our home markets. “The American people will not heed today, be- cause world competition is not yet restored; but the morrow will soon come when the world will seek our markets and we must think of American eminence.” In his first message to congress, assembled in special session, President Harding, speaking of the necessity of a protective tariff, said, “One who values American prosperity and maintained standards of -wage and living can have no sympathy with the proposal that easy entry and the flood of imports will cheapen our costs of living. It is more likely to destroy our capacity to bu Again, in his message to congress in December 1921, urging the early enactment of a permanent tariff, President Harding took cognizance of the argument of international bankers, importers and proleaguers that in order to promote Eu- ropean trade we should permit our home mar- kets to be exploited and should sacrifice our own industrial eminence in order to restore normal exchange and prosperity to other nations. Upon that point, President Harding said. “Sensible of every obligation of humanity, commerce and finance, linked, as they are, in the present world condition, it is not to be argued that we need destroy ourselves to be helpful to others. With all my heart I wish restoration to the peoples blighted by the awful world war, but the process of restoration does not lie in our acceptance of like conditions. * * * It is not an unworthy selfishness to seek to save ourselves when the processes of that salyation are not only We seck to undermine for others no industry by which they subsist; we are obligated to permit for employment and maintained activiti “The morrow of world competition,” which Mr. Harding forsaw in tive which he said would be presented to Amer- \iea when that day arrived is before us—the al- native of America first or surrendering Amer- n interests. World competition has never been keen as it is today. The only safeguard against this menace is pro- tection in the form of tariffs. Fortunately the Republican party foresaw those conditions and provided a safeguard for American industries by the enactment of the Fordney-McCumber tar- iff. There is not the least doubt that our indus- tries would=be prostrate and America today would be in the midst of hard times were it not |for this Fordney-McCumber tariff. The proof of this is that other countries which have not such protection have unemployment industrial and commercial failures, stagnation of business, want and suffering on every hand to a degree never before experienced. In those coun- tries the wisdom of President Harding’s state- |ment that a flood of imports, instead of cheapen- jing costs of living, destroys a people’s capaciy to buy altogether, is being demonstrated. No one lfactor has contributed so much to America’s present prosperity as the protective tariff. It is |no time to listen to the internationalists and free |traders who would sacrifice American interests |to enrich themselves. ~ | Where The Money Goes . is alw: a matter of interest to know what becomes of the large amount of money received each year by a great industrial plapt. The dis- tribution of every dollar received in the years 20 has recently been shown by the General Electric company. 41.7 cents out of every dollar were paid to. the employes of the company as compensation, 40.6 cents spent for materials, sup- 7 cents surplus reinvested for en- ement of business, 5.8 cents taxes, 4 cents lends to all stockholders, 2.56 cents transpor- tation, telephone and telegraph and 1,2 cents in- terest on borrowed capital. It should be borne in mind that by far the greatest part of the amounts shown as expended for materials and supplies, taxes, publie utility etc, was in turn paid out by those who receiyede it, for wages and salaries. Thus does industry cause a rapid distribution of money among wage earners. Conditions which encourage industrial development are the surest safeguard of prosperity. Bootlegging in Wheat The wheat growers of the northwest have an- other complaint. Bootlegging in wheat has be- come a flourishing industry since the Fordney tariff law became effective with a duty of thirty cents 2 bushel on this product. Dollar wheat may not be a paying crop in Minnesota and the Da- kotas, but it appears to be attractive to the wheat growers and buyers in Manitoba, where the price is from 20 to 25 per cent lower, and Uncle Sam’s dollar. Smuggling wheat across the jinternational border has therefore become a busi- jestablish a wheat patrol to break up bootlegging. It is the old story of the American market rath- er than the world market which the people of world, and all producers everywhere want to get into the United States, where prices are better than anywhere else. The Democratic tariff law did not have a duty on wheat and the Canadian could bring his wheat into the United States free of tax and compete with the American farmer. |Now that the Canadian can no longer come in free, he bootlegs his wheat across the border to get the increased price, it mied to others, but commended to them. |} a re a |ton.

R. A. Kelly owner of the Stone Front barn, all that remains of the livery business in Thermopolis, put on a fibck of stage coaches between here and Shoshoni. One of the three coaches that started on the 40-mile trip, Monday morning, brought a thrill to the old timers. It was one of the yellow coaches formerly used in Yellow- stone park traffic. Four horses were hitched and high up on the old time seat with the “ribbons” between his fingers was ‘Red” Neal who pulled the reins from the same seat when Indians were lurking in the sage- brush and “bad men” held up timic) tenderfeet for their bankrolls. ‘Three four-horse stages made the initial trip without trouble worth speaking of carrying a crew of rec- lamation service men and other pas- Sengers. At Shoshoni, according to reports, “Red” Neal jumped from the driver’s seat with the smile of a maiden and the heart of a child. “The country’s not gone to the dogs yet, by heck," said “‘Red” as he placed his passengers safe on the Northwestern depot platform and stretched vut his long legs before preparing for the return trip. The trips will be made ¢nily over Birdseye pass between Thermopolls. and Shoshoni, says Mr. Kelly, until railroads are back on the job aguin. — oe Brick to Casper BASIN—Charies Galusha of the Basin Brick and Tile factory is ship- ing ten carloads of brick to Casper for construction work at that place. He sent out one land this week. While under present conditions the car has to go to Casper by way of Billings, the Burlington takes the loss and hauls the car at the rate that woulG apply if the road were in operation between Casper and Ba- sin, This brings up another matter that is to the credit of the Burling- because of the floods, the Burlington is carrying passengers from here to Casper, from here to Cheyenne, to Denver and other points at the old rate which applied before the road washed out, so while one must put d 18a | It Happened In Wyoming Matters and Things, of State-Wide Interest, Wired in, Telephoned in, Written, Grape-Vined and Some of It Purloined. in more time and pay more for Pull- man _and dining car service, he suf- fers no added expense because of in- creased cost of transportation. pppenciaekese Ble ilar tt = To Restore Bridges GLENROCK—Acting with a cel: erity that deserves the highest com- mendation, the county commis- sionérs authorized the repair of the Careyhurst. and Glenrock bridges over the Platte river and the replac- ing of the bridge leading to the Sin- clair tank farm that was swept away by the storm of last week, with an entirely new structure. According to a report reaching the city, the bridge at Careyhurst had been carried out, but the report proved to be untrue. It was warped out of line and some of the piling was lost, but INght vehicles have been able to cross, although it has been posted as unsafe for travel. The Glenrock bridge was also, bad- ly damaged and made unsafe for traffic, but fortunately was not lost. It can be repaired within a short time and at moderate cost. These two bridges will afford a means of communication with the tank farm until bridge, which will require two or three months at least. The importance of direct communt- cation with the tank farm was brought forcibly home to Glenrock business men when it was learned that several families that had been living In Glenrock were preparing to move to the farm or to Dougias be- cause of the inconvenience of travel- ing to the farm via Careyhurst, and there was reason to fear that the trade supplied by the working men at the farm would be entirely lost to this eclty for the same reason, Be Od eee i mabe Find Tame Ram CODY—Charles J. Belden of tho Greybull corporation and J. N. Lang: worthy of the Shoshone forest hal an unusual experience on a trip in to a new country from which they just returned, located in the ex- treme, southeastern part of Park countyy where they bad to make their own trails and likely where no human had every set foot. They ran onto a fine specimen of moun- tain sheep ram which had evidently never seen a man for it evidenced no fear but grazed quietly about the men and thelr horses and finally beeded down not a hundred feet from them, Mr. Belden, who is an expert photographer “took several eDrigintl ek iciOus of an opene promise full-flavored cu to come Qu the completion of the new, ality “the Reco: = ss ‘Stand ize ra 99 pictures which he prizes very highly. The animal was about three years old. The country into which they made their way {s reached from the head waters of the Greybull and on the divide between Woodrive and Sho- shoni. They found large grazing areas which at present are entirely inaccessible but may be made so by trails. Mr, Langworthy plans an- other excursion into the country making entrance from the Southfork side of the Shoshone river. Trails built into this section would open up a wide area for the entertain: ment of tourists as well as add to the range value of Park county. ————_—_ The Busy Enforcer KEMMERER—In proportion to size the state prohibition depart- ment’s activities at Granger brought greater result than in Kemmerer, as six cases of gambling and three of liquor law violation came to a head when nine men were taken before the clerk of the court at Green River where direct informa- tions had been filed against them. All were released under bonds of $500. State Agent Vogel, who had his headquarters in Kemmerer for five weeks with such surprising and as. tounding success, secured the evi- dence in Granger on one of his side trips fron: this city and claims to have positive evidence against the following: The proprietor of the Commercial hotel and one assistant for selling liquor; a Granger barber, charged with conducting a small brewery in his home; and one of the proprie tors and assistant at the Granger hotel for violation of the liquor law. ‘Three were arrested at the Gran- ger hotel charged with gambling. a Sarees een ee Much Grain Wasted KEMMERER — County Commis- sioner C, A. Johnson, who is in Kem- merer thig week attending the meet- ing of the board of county commis- sioners, {s authority for the state ment that a large amount of grain has been ruined in the valley as a result of the recent atorms. Mr. Johnson states that {t has stormed as much, if not more, ir the valloy as in Kemmerer, and that per- haps not more than half of the grain being grown is harvested. The grain yet remaining in the field has been beaten down one way, and it may be possible to cut one way across the 1d, and thus save some portion of it, but much of it will be a total loss, he believes. poe of the N va Corn, Spuds and . Chickens GLENROCK—Converse County Agricultural Association has offi- cially gone on record as endorsing the plans outlined for an annual Converse County corn, potato and poultry show. The Community Club at Gl viewed the plans with favor and Appointed a commit- tee to determine general opinion in that locality, A delegation from Shawnee has expressed themselves as being highly in favor and have already made plans for the shows location at that point. There is no doubt but that the matter will be given just consideration in the cen- tral part of the county as well. In- dividuals everywhere, both in town and out, talk favorably concerning the importance of such a show and that plans should be followed out if nothing more than can be awarded in prizes. Government Hunter WHEATLAND—Charley Bayer, in charge of predatory animal exterm!- nation in Wyoming by the federal government, was a visitor here and reported that he would have a gov- ernment hunter within the next ten TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1923 ey The hunter who will come here has been working for some time in the northern part of the county |, vicinity of the holdings ef the Platts ‘Valley Sheep company.
