They are not convincing ion ‘by old Vox Populi, sterday’s expre: arene and ius guys alike were knocked out It was one of those unexpected turnovers that nothing could block. It was in the atmosphere and in the minds of the people and it happened. So far as organization was concerned, what is generally understood as political organization Dr. Loy had none, while other candidates had them in regulation style. When you come to analyze the vote it appears to be one of protest as well as one in favor. However, the people rule. Long live the people. Dr. Loy is to be congratulated for his very handsome endorsement. He will have the cor- dial support of the best elements of the popu- lation, because he is a clean and honorable gen. tleman. He will go into office with a clean slate and no doubt the council will be in accord and sympathy with his administrative ambi tions. The Tribune will uphold him, as it has in the past upheld all good public officers, who have observed the Jaw and enforced it; and we have every confidence Dr. Loy will do these things. And it will be the duty of everybody to contribute his share to the success of the new administration when it assumes office. Let us hope that the incoming administration will be the most satisfactory and prosperous Casper has ever known. A Wilson Legacy The eight years of Democratic admini stra- tion under Woodrow Wilson left us a legacy in the unsettled condition of the Philippines. | When the Democratic rty took charge in| 1918 political and commercial conditions in the Philippines were better than th had been at} any time since the United Sta ad assumed charge. Under the guidance of successive Ke publican administrations the people of those islands had taken long steps toward their de- sired goal of sdif-govermment, although they were not yet ready for self-government. Upon the Democratic party assuming con- trol, the fantastic ideas which were made a part of the Democratic platform in Bryan’s 1900 campaign against McKinley were dragged out and put into practice. The American govern-! ment in the Philippines practically abdicated 3{the better class of Filipinos. jof the human race is full of just such philosoph- in order to enable the government to tide over the crisis until Republican administration of the islands could get them once again in a sol- vent condition. ’ While this had been going on in the business and financial world, unscrupulous and corrupt political leaders in the islands, as well as rep- resentatives of foreign powers. had been assid- uously stirring up a spirit of resentment among the islanders against the United States govern- ment. In this they were aided and abetted by a certain class of politicians in the United States. The faction that had secured control of the |legislature had enacted election laws of such a character that it was practically impossible to dislodge the clique which enacted them. Fraud, corruption and intimidation made even the pre- tense of self-government in the Philippines a farce. In addition to this, the controlling fac- tion had, with the connivance of the Demo- cratic administration in Washington, establish- ed a system of espionage and intimidation. This system had so fastened itself on the islands that the commission appointed by the Harding administration to investigate conditions found it almost impossible to collect any facts from the natives because it was frankly that it was not safe for those at variance with| the dominant faction of native politicians to express their disapproval of conditions: or to| attempt reforms. Governor General Wood, however, set about to clear up the situation, bring political order efforts in this respect were seconded by They were op- posed by the faction which was in control, by! the emissaries of foreign powers in the Philip-| pines and by the Democratic politicians in the| United States who formed a working coalition| with the dominant faction in Philippine politics | © oppose Governor General Wood and embar- rass the Harding administration in its efforts to clear up the Philippine situation. Their New Freedom During the past year some 120,000 negroes quit the state of Georgia, presumably to seek | work in northern states.

Last winter he spent at the Boyer ranch near Savery. Mr. Williams will celebrate his 79th birthday anniversary ‘next Monday Armistice Day. The date of his arrival in what is now Sweet- water county was in 1867, when he arrived with cow outfits. Despite Mr. Williams’ aga he ts hale and hearty, never used a pair of spectacles in his life, and right now is ‘rarin’ to get to some ranch for the winter, where coyotes and wolves are the thickest, s0 he can pursue his favorite vocation. north and west. The south needs the colored man. He is the only one who toils there and produces the crops which southern agriculture must produce if it is to prosper. | During all the years immigration has been} coming to the United States from abroad com-| paratively little of it has settled in the southern st The competition of cheap negro labor made that section of the country less attractive and furthermore, the opportunities of the great) northern and western industrial states were so much better that incoming Euroyeans found all that they desired there, without seeking to discover what the agricultural south might offer them. With no tendency on the part of unrestricted immigration to fill up the South and no possibilities that restricted immigration can do anything for that part of the country n it comes to supplying the labor, this mai ter of the exodus of negroes from Southern States looms up as something of the utmost mportance to the industrialists of all kinds in that portion of our coun ‘) As we stated at the beginning the south needs the negro. With- out him it cannot prosper. It must treat him decently, fairly, even generously, or he will not stay. _ It appears that we are about to witness the righting of a great wrong—the indiscriminate lynching social uprisings, but by the stern necessity for reform, dictated by economic pressure. How- ever it comes about it will be a change for the better. The negro has already endured, too much wrong at the white man’s hands and he cannot be blamed for accepting any escape from the persecutions of the so-called superior race that may present themselves to him. It is rather embarrassing, sidering his “super: ority” that a sense of his own economic needs, rather than one of justice, should move the white man to thinking about doing right by the colored man and brother, but then the history ical absurdities, The Pay Increase That wages have undergone a tremendons change in the eighty year period from 1843 to 1923 is graphically shown in a survey made by Cheney Brothers in connection with the recent centennial of the town of Manchester, Connecti- cut, in which their silk mills are located. and turned everything over to the uatives. Within a very short time affairs fell into the| hands of a faction of Filipino politicians, some| corrupt, some ignorant, some the tools of for- eign nations which desired to get the upper| hand in the Philippines and eventually oust all | a ? a | American interests | This faction seized control of the Philippine legislature and enacted a number of radical} laws. The fundamental laws of the Philippine | islands are framed by the American Congress. It was impossible for the Philippine legislature to repeal these laws, but it accomplished the same result by devising legislation evading the laws and even defying them. | Business conditions in the islands at the beginning of the Democratic administration in| 1913 were excellent. The Philippine bank. which contained all the funds of the Philippine government and did the banking for practically all the commercial interests on the islands was in good shape. During the World War the| Philippines vastly increased their exports and,| had things been managed honestly and ably, the islands would have emerged from the war with unprecedented prosperity. As it was, local politicians looted the Philip- pine bank, not only the private funds losing deposited in it, but 000,000 of the Philippine} government funds The situation was such that the large enterprises and the rich resources of thé islands were about to be foreclosed by | Japan, England and other foreign interests which were eagerly awaiting that opportunity | to b control of the American posessions. | Immediately upon the Harding administra- tion coming into power, American banker: dispatched to Manila to take charge of affairs in order to prevent the Philippine bank from closing its doors and foreign interests from tak were ing steps that would have amounted to a fore. closure on the resources of the island As speedily as possible, the Republican con gress enacted ¢ mey legislation autl the Philippine government to ed indebtedness by $15,000,000, This wa |and 1900 obta‘ned only ‘4.7 per cent | one-six tween 1900 and 1923, which included the World| done jg These figures, while gathered for a partic. | ular industry, reflect general wage conditions| for the period. They show that during the last S0 years average hourly earning of Cheney em-| ployes have increased over 1300 per cent, aver. ge weekly earning have increased nearly 850 per cent, and the length of the weekly working period has been reduced from 72 } rs to 48 hours, or one-third of its length in 1843. n 1843, aceording to the survey, an worked 72 hours per week, gained on an Saige $0.0428 per hour and $3.08 per week.
