Life, Liberty and Happiness aration of Independence and the pre- apie or ike American constiution state plainly the objects of the separation from Great Britain on the one hand and the advantages through the establishment of the federal government on he other. They may be summed up in the wo! “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. ” Organized ent then, in America means that individuals are entitled to protection from assault, arrest and invasion of property, except as provided by law, It signifies that in ae country one may pursue any occupation or pleas- ure so long as it does not interfere with the rights and privileges of others. It means that | dividuals are entitled to innumerable advant- | ages and comforts provided by public agencies | such as schools, good roads, sewers, light plants, and water systems. For these purposes and innumerable others every man, woman and child in the country, di-} rectiy or indirectly, contributes to the expenses ‘of the federal state and local government. The) bill is small for the services and the advantages | which are secured. Indeed, no country in the) world offers so great returns for the taxes) which are levied and collected. Occasionally the government does not seem to} rovide a remedy for all the difficulties of pub- | ic concern and interest or it may be that Justice | is secured only after longer delays than seem necessary or justifiable. Consequently there arises sharp public criticsm and eyen discon: tent. * 3 Piss | Such situations may be attributed to one Or} both of two causes. Kitner the people through their representatives have not conferred suffi-| cient authority and proved adequate legal means to mect the situation or the governmental offi. cials are lethargic in performing their duty. In either case the remedy lies with the people | ! themselves. The blame can not be ,shifted| because the people of the United States have undertaken to govern themselves. Through rep- resentatives whom they select at stated intervals and through the power of public opinion as for- mulated and expressed in the press And by dis- cussion, the necessary governmental machinery must be provided and kept in effective motion, A democratic government to be effective presup- poses individual duties as well as rights and | privileges. To evade the duties is the best way], of failix © secure a full measure of the rights und privi It is impossible, however, for the citizen share- holders of the American government to fulfill] their e duty to the nation merely by good intent and a patriotic attitude, ional, state and local problems confronting the govern- | ment are peculiarly complex. To solve them de- mands not only patriotism but intelligence. In such degree, therefore, as the citizens of this | bring to bear upon the solution of our 1 economic problems and intelligent pat riotic interest to that extent and no more may | we expect good government. | Popular education is, therefore, an absolute y. Those who are inter- | necessity in a democ' ested in our form of government for the bless: | ings its bestows on e individual in the coun-} try as well as for the example it sets to the rest | ef the world should r » that its preserva tion and development depends on popular educa tion. Patriotism and good schools are insepar able in this country. | oa | Unpopularity of Economy The difficulties which officials of the national administration always meet when they endeavor} to reduce the public payroll are illustrated by the turn of events when there was a recent dis-|o missal of some hundred and eighteen plate print: | ers at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. It! was found that there were more employes than | needed and an order was made for the dismissal of this number. In order that the dismissals} mght be made with a view to promoting the in- terests of the government and without injns tice to the employes, efficiency test was made so that the least efficient might be dismissed and the government thereby retain those who will render the most acceptable service, In this case, as in almost every other when dismissals are ordered, a protest went up from those who were to be severed from the govern- ment payroll. This heard regardless of the personnel to be d protest personally but they took Che Casper Daily Cribune there was an abnormal amount of work for the Burean of Engraving and Printing and the num- ber of employes was greatly enhanced. There Publication offices: Tribune Bullding, oppo-| have already been large reductions in the force’ and these reductions are continuing because the work of the bureau is steadily diminishing. Mpreover, better methods have been instituted which also permit the employment of a smaller number of persons, Feeling under obligations to protect the pub- lic interest by reducing the number of employes whenever possible the administration ordered the dismissals and did everything that could pos- sibly be done to guard against favoritism or the retention of the least efficient. Nothwithstand- ing its good purpose and its effort to perform its duty as fuirly as possible the administration is subjected to severe criticism by the persons who are dismissed and by their friends, and in- fluence is sought to prevent this reduction of public expense. Some newspapers at the national capital take up the cause of the dismissed em- ployes and encourage the feeling that an injus- tice has been done, From the practical standpoint the situation which confronts this administration and every other administration is this—persons who are threatened with dismissal, and their friends, bring every possible influence to bear to prevent the reduction in the public payroll. On the other hand, there is no public interest in the effort at economy. The administration gets censure on the one hand and no praise on the other. No tux- pears’ league will send in a communication com- mending the administration for its effort at re- trenchment. It is this fact that makes difficult the task of any administration following a period of ab- normal governmental activity such as that dur- ing the world war. Physical Education of Children Thirty-two states have adopted a physical edu- cation Progrant and others are preparing to do so. This is not a new wrinkle or fad, since phy- Sh education is the survivor of many centur- en. The ancient Greeks divided their subjects of study into music and gymnastics. Each youth was trained in the gymnasium. The heroes of Greek literature were those who received the olive crown as the winner of some event in the Olympic games, The passage of time was even marked by these games, every fourth year being an Olympiad. Physicial education is necessarily an integral part of general education. The whole child goes to school both body and mind. The American public school has until recently tried to develop the mind offthe individual without thought of the body. The modern physical education pro- gram calls for games for all—for es which call into play the fundamental muscle groups in- yolved in running jumping throwing, and climb- ing; all form a large part of the program. Story plays, rhythmic action plays, and running games for the very tiny tots; folk dancing competitive athletics, organized games and stimulating mass drills for the older children are the tools with which the teacher has to work. Physical education also concerns itself with those muscle groups which hold the body in an erect position. The close relation between sgelf- respect and posture is familiar to all of us. Phy- sical education through games makes for the social and moral development of the child. The playground knows no race, class or social dis- tinction, The best man for the position is the one chosen. Recognition and acknowledgement of the rights of others must be observed in all team- work, operation and teamwork are synony- mous. Where but on the play field does the child n the elements of true sportsmanship? The successful team is the one in which all the mem- ers are working together in close co-operation, Furthermore, the physical education program concerns itself with the health of the child. It cent the attention on positive health habits, Ph ul activity focuses the attention of the ild on physical conditions from the construc live standpoint rather t from the morbid side. Thus health education becomes an ever: present clement in physical education. Physical education is then that phase of edu- tion which concerns itself with the growth id development of the child. It aims to promote health and those social and moral qualities that make for good citizenship. Other countries have taken national action to extend physical education to their children, Are we going to do less? It all depends on you, We are leaving these questions with you: Are the average boys and girls of today pic- tures of perfect health? Are they resourceful? Do they seek to be entertained? Are they pro- vided with adeq e and worthwhile occupations |for leisure hours? Are we providing adequate ortunity for the promotion of these opportu. nities?

McCal- man,t, who lives at the Griffin apartments between the Stewart tumber yard and the railroad, lost a ro” of $70 and hed a close call for his life when a robber attacked him with a handax as he entered his lodgings. Mr. McCalmant had cashed a check up town for the amount stated, the fellow who committed the crime probably knowing this fact. As he entered his rooms on his return home he saw fo one about. He passed through the front room and went into the kitch- en to get @ lamp but did not find it there by the light of a match so he started back to the other room. As he passed through the door a flash- ght was thrown into his face and he was struck on the head with a handax that the robber had picked up in the room. The fact that the victim dodged as the blow was struck { probably all that saved his life. As it was, he got @ heavy glancing blow on the eide of the head and shoulder, knocking him out and cutting and bruising him badly, Fortunately the blow was delivered with the poll and not with the cutting edge of the ax. find Boo 2B Sg Wrecks Road Camp THERMOPOLIS—The camp of the Christensen Construction com- pany, contractors on the Yellow- stone highway through Wind River canyon, was demolished during the hard wind storm this week. This camp is situated near the mouth of the canyon and was in the path of a freak gust of wind that was dl- rected against {t by the peoullar con- formation of the cliffs. The build- ings that suffered were of a temp- orary nature and of the usual type found in construction camps. They consisted of @ building used by Sup- erintendent J. F. Derbridge as an office and a a commissary, a lean- to shack and two house tents. Mrs. Derbridge had just stepped outside when his office collapsed, fortunately escaping injury himself. The camp stood near the bank of the river and most of the wreckage was blown into the stream and car- ried away. ‘Tho little visitation of Providence did not in any way in- terrupt the progress of construction oo r sas Settles With Victim GLENROCK—Gus G. Phillips, Ar- kansas man, who was badly scalded in the Burlington wreck three weeks ago by falling against’ the fire box of the engine after being hurled from the smoking car, is, so far as known, the first one of the living victims of that catastrophe to effect a settlement with the railroad com- pany. A member of the Burlington's le- gal department was in the city in conference with Phillips and his at- torney, and after many hours of ne- gotiation Phillips received the com- pany’s check for $3,875 in full set- tlement of his claim, Phillips is one of the very few passengers who received major in- juries, the great majority having escaped with slight scratches or bruises, or having met death in the wreckage of the train, Hog Pneumonia GLENROCK—John Fennex’s hog herd has been decimated by more than 60 per cent within the past ten days by an ailment termed by Some stockmen “hog flu”, by others plain pneumonia, But whatever the nature of the malady it ts quick working and defiant to treatment. Out of a herd of more than 60 fine animals, many of which had been conditioned for market, more than 25 had died the first of the week, and Mr, Fennex expected to lose a largo share of the remainder of the: herd. One animal—the pride of the herd—weighing about 900 pounds, went the way of the others a few days ago.

During the first month of its career the big Wyoming Motorbus making seven trips daily, hauled a total of 6 pessengers, Of this number 10 fares came from school children— an expense carried by the county— and 295 half-fares were carried, It is pointed out that the bus Is but one feature of the traffic be- tween the two points. Were such @ count possible, it would be seen that a hundred or more trips are made datfly between the two points by owners of private cars. THERMOPOLIS—A shipment of a trainload of wether lambs to Fred Klink of Denver was made from Kirby last week, The lot was made up of 1,575 head from the L U Sheep company at Dickle and about 7,000 head from Lee Simonsen's out- fit.
