Not onerhat is this “civilization,” this “humanity,” which Mr. Lloyd George exhorts America to save? It is a “wicked and perverse generation, insane with deadly hatred, puffed up with pride, jealousy, greed, treacherous dishonesty, gross materialism, sensuality ,and militaristic amb tion, the opposite of everything that Christian America represents. oe France has plenty of money for munitions, and funds to lend Poland and her other mili tary allies, but leading Parisian politicians, such as M. Louis Loucheur, openly state that France will never pay the four billion do! she borrowed from the United States treasury at Washington. The New York Tribune estimates that Ger many has taxed the United States about $750,- 000,000 since the war, by the expedient of sell- ing paper marks here for gold dollars, printing more paper marks by the ton, and at last repu- diating the paper marks entirely. The American public has paid Germany three quarters of a billion dollars for the privilege of being swind- led.

Sixt: two per cent of the farmers of the country, ac- cording to the survey, are better off than they were a year ago. Twenty-four per cent have shown no change, and one per cent are reported “not so good.” | _The farmer’s dollar, the replies to the ques. | jtionnaires indicated, was at least no worse off} \in buying power during the last year, and in a! great many instances is making strides toward its war-time strength.

The results of the surv therefore, may be considered us accurate. They indicate that farm- ers as a class are working out their own salva- tion. _ Various rempdies are suggested for speed. ing the economic recovery and for making it uni- versal. Two particularly pointed bits of advice are reprinted here. One is: Che Casper Daily Cribune Family Settlements | KEMMERER—When a part of a Hit generally expects and demands fi- nancial reimbursement for its share jin the parent county.

Clynes, one of the leaders of that party in the house of commons, 4 res that he is not in favor of giv- ing something for nothing to either rich or poor. He advocates certain changes in state organi- zation that he claims would turn wasteful dole money into wage-earning money, given in ex- change for the wealth that labor w uld produce. The present expenditures each week by the Brit ish government for doles are put at almost $10, 000,000, which is at the rate of almost $500,000,000, Prob: at Britain never en red on a more disastrous economic policy than the distribution among a few ; belonging to all the people. It but is almost impossible to abandon. The for. mer workers have become so accustomed to be. ing supported by the ‘state without. effort on their part, that a near revolution would prob- ably result were the practice to be suddenly dis. continned. : What Is the Truth? It would be interesting to know the present truth about Russia, which is a land of milk and Loney, according to one group of investigators jnd of fire and brimstone accor) ng to another. Common sense clings to a couple of facts. One is that the country is still ror by the soviet. An- other is that Russia making progress in spite of the soviet. The National Civic Federation wants Americans who have been led around by the hand through Russia to refrain from ful- some laudation of their wily hosts. If these homecoming apostles tell the whole truth, it will profit the soviers nothing. The truth is that Russia is waking up. When she gets fully awake the soviet will no longer be a problem. Be Real Americans We freely extend the hand of welcome and of good fellowship to every man, no matter what his creed or birthplace, who comes here honest- ly intent on becoming a good United States citi- zen like the rest of us, but we have a right and it is our duty to demand that he shall indeed be- come so and shall not confuse the issues with which we are struggling by introducing among us Old World quarrels and prejudices * * *, He must not bring in his Old World religions, race and national antipathies, but must merge them into love for our common country and must take pride in the things that we all can take pride in. He must revere only our flag; not only must it come first, but no other flag should even come second.—Theodore Roosevelt. Insidious Inroads A former member of the federal reserve board a Democrat, expresses great concern because, as he says, “inroads by politics upon the independ- ence of the reserve tem have already reached the proportions of a serious threat to its in- tegrity.” In other words, when the board was controlled by Democrats, there was no politics in it, but as soon as a Republican administration ap- points a majority of the board, politics threat- ens its integrity. Bah! The Wisdom of Silence In all of his talks in the United States, Lloyd George did not utter one word about the immense Can you imagine a Bags it the ny country, such as the United States, Canada, or/@nd commercially valuable territories Great Great I stealing money in the German Britain secured control of as a result of the ating its debts in the French | rope, and ion, or repud But Europe is world, literally and figuratively.

Those who strive to deceive them, or| play the Wall Street have to answer to the American electorate.

Stick to the Budget Secretary Mellon out of the wealth of wisdom he h gained in a long life devoted to finance, banking and business, says: “The budget system has brought business into government. It has cut down unnecessary gov- ernmental expenditures and saved the country much money. The integrity of the system should be maintained.” Nobody will dispute that proposition. Any in- crease of taxation or additions to the national debt through further bond issues, except for unavoidable emergency, cannot be countenanced if the integrity of the budget system is to be maintained. treaty of peace. Tn Soviet Russia The other day eighteen persons were sentenced to death in Moscow for bribery, and yet a di tinguished Amer ited that city says it is a safer place in wl to live than any of the big American cities. How- er bo that is it may, mose of us prefer the ‘ds of cur own constitution, which says, other things, that “Cruel and unusual punisinnents” shall not be inf ted.

The next move is for the District Court to put its O K on the divorce. re eanens To Purchase Plant GLENROCK—Two individual com- panies, one from Casper and one from Doug'as have asked if the mu- nicipal plant at Glenrock was for sale. These people are buying up quite a number of plants in this part of the country and want the Glen- rock plant. The majority of the Council were not in favor of selling the plant as they think that now we have as cheap lights as any place in this |part of the country. However, the jclerk was instructed to write these people to find out just what their people of ‘money | offer was, to see how much could be was easily begun, | e*lized on the present plant if it was sold. The high taxes for this year seem to have put it into *he minds of some {to dispose of the expenses of the town but we are of the opinion that we would soon have to pay it all back and more too, if the plant here was run by a private corporation. Panne ted Good Corn Yield PINE BLUFFS—Joe Suchomel, Jr., farming his fathers p!ace oppo- site Tracy switch, reports a fine yield of White Dent. corn. The other day Joe snapped two and a half rows, one-half mile in length, making just an acre in extent. He hauled the corn in town and it weighed our 31 bushels, for which he received 60 cents per hundred weight (snapped) He received $13. Not so bad— cnly 62 bushels to the acre. Joe says the entire field is just as good as the part he harvested and sold. Light Rates Reduced DOUGLAS—Douglas’ electric light and power rates are going down. Manager Rendelman of the Doug- las Light & Power company an- nounces a reduction that will range from 6 to 12% percent on the pres- ent rates, with an assurance that It Happened In Wyoming Matters and Things, of State-Wide Interest, Wired in, Telephoned in, Written, Grape-Vined and Some of It Purloined. when the business of the company increases sufficiently to permit there will be further increase. This is the first reduction since the new company has taken over the prop- erty and has been made possible by economies in the management of the plant. The lighting rate of 20 cents per kflowat is under the new schedule eut to 17 cents, a reduction of 12% percent. The monthly minimum is reduced from $2 to $1.75, The power rate gets a chop ‘of about 6 percent. ea tric Back to Curb GLENROCK—The center parking ordinance got a rap on the head at council meeting when it was decided’ to so amend the city law as to make curb parking permissable until June 1, when the streets are sometimes dry enough to be navigable without gum boots. The matter was brought up by City Attorney Smith, who feared that the city might be held legally responsible in the event of accident caused by permitting cars to be parked indiscriminately at the curb or in the center. The mayor was opposed to the change, Councilman Barber refrained from voting and Councilmen Price and Vogel put over the amendment that a'lows curb parking until Spring. —— Prisoner Escapes a Blackburn, convicted last r of forge: nd sentenced from two to five yéars in the state penitentiary, escaped from the prison farm at Saratoga the fore part of the week and fs still at large. B'ackburn, it will be recalled, was apprehended in February, 1922, at Buffalo, New York and Sheriff D. C. Oakley made the journey to New York and returned with the prisoner. Blackburn had forged several checks on Dave Nelson. Moving Stock PINE BLUFFS—C. L. Beatty of Cheyenne unloaded five cars of stock cows and calves at the local stock yards. They will be disposed of to local farmers who are long on feed and short on cows.
