It was not dis- appointing to the country for he took just the} bold stand for and against proposals now before the nation expected of him and in the manner peculiar to him. The preface to the message was a trbute to the late President Harding. “The world knew his kindness and his humanity, his greatness and lis character. He has made justice more cer- tain and peace more secure,” the president said: He endorsed President Harding’s proposal for American membership with reservations in the world court; unqualifiedly approved Secretary Mellon’s tax reduction plan, and announced his opposition to enactment of soldier bonus legis- lation. He also went on record as favoring stimulated consolidation of railroads, reorganization of the railroad freight structure as applied to farm products; and government assistance in the dis- position of exportable wheat. He declared against price-fixing for farm products; against repeal of the rate section of the Transportation ‘act, and against revision of the tariff law. Making his first pronouncement on many pub- lic questions, the president presented a series of succinct recommendations without attempt at argument. He used exactly nine words in dis- posing of the bonus question. After urging ade- quate care for disabled former service men and erosity in providing such care, he said. “I jo not favor the iting of a bonus.” From this basis the president then launched upon his recommendations which, in addition to those relative to taxation, world court, trans- portation and soldier legislation included: Government operation of the war-built mer- chant marine until shipping conditions are such as to allow it to be disposed of advantageously. Strengthening of the coast guard to combat rum smuggling, rigid regulation of the major 3|tirely to supply and foreign credit conditions. |the most positive manner that the Europeon war adopted for the British debt, and announced he would oppose recognition of Russia so long as the ruling regime refuses to recognize the right of private property ownership and the debt con- \tracted by Russia after the overthrow of the Czar. Pernicious Propaganda There is nothing so persistent in politics as pernicious propaganda. Patriotism may grow weary in well doing but selfish interests keep jeverlastingly at it. Even the fight for keeping the United States out of involyment in the bank- ruptcy and belligerency of Europe, which the American people thought they had settled in 1920, will probably have to be fought over and over aga because the financial international- ists have so much at stake, and the sentimental internationalists are so chronically foolish that they may be depended on to keep on trying to de- Inde the people and to mislead their government. The most remarkable feature of these move- bents is the participation in them of citizens of prominence who, when the matter comes to a vote, turn out to be representative of mothing but their unpopular opinions, The World Market Practically all forms of petroleum products, from crude oil to paraffin wax and coke, form part of the export trade of the United States, and petroleum products in one form or another reach all parts of the world. This trade is capable of an enormous expansion, limited en- There is every reason to expect there will con- tinue for years to come a constantly increasing demand for American crude and refined oil, for the reason the United States is the only de- pendable source of supply. Statisties show in checked American oil exports fully 300,000,000) gallons a year, or 6,000,000 barrels of 50 gallons | each, and in many items this loss has not been regained to date. Curbing the Court “Labor will insist upon curbing the power of the courts. It has proposed a_ constitutional | amendment providing that after the Supreme Court has declared a law unconstitutional con- gress may re-enact the same*law and the court! will have no further power to declare it un- constitutional.” Thus speaketh Samuel Gompers, who would thus destroy one branch of the federal govern- ment and transfer to aanother branch the func- tions of the former. Many constitutional amendments have been suggested, some of them unwise and‘impractical and some even foolish, but never before, so far as we know, has such a foolish and unwise and utterly destructive amendment been proposed as the above. Suppose for an instant that congress had the power, by a majority vote or even a two-thirds vote, to re-enact a law declared unconstitutional by the supreme court, and thus set aside the de- cision of the court. The constitution might just} as well be set aside or cast into the ocean. The supreme court might just as well be abolished. The farthest any sane and rational proposi- tion has gone thus far is to permit the supreme court to set aside an act of congress only by a vote of six to three or seven to two, but there is much doubt as to the wisdom of even this. In these days of political and social unrest, of marked leaning to lawlessn’:3 and misdirected personal liberty, a strong supreme court is nec- essary to hold society and congress and the en-| tire federal and state governments in Jine with the guarantees of the federal constitution. Within the last half century, many laws have been passed by con, 8 which if upheld by the supreme court, might have tended to overthrow the fundamental instrument itself, or brought about a loss of the very liberties guaranteed by the constitution. Judges are human, and nothing human is in- fallible, but so long as society and governments must work with human agencies, only approxi- mate perfection in any department can se cured. The supreme court is the bulwark of our real €de Casper Dally Cridune Daylight Robbery ROCK SPRINGS—The home Mrs. Arthur Vail, in the Vatl-Law- rence Addition, was entered and Jewelry to the value of $1,000 was taken by the robber.

It is also rumored that the North western is going to put on a sleeper which will run from Lander direct through to Chicago. The Northwestern officials base their estimates for next season's business on the fact that they are receiving many inquiries about the Southern Entrance, every day. Brest Bobet Ay Dentist Injured KEMMERER—Dr. C. D. Cum- mins, local dentist, was injured when a car which he was driving skidded and overturned a few miles the other side of Coalville, Utah. Dewey Bakes, local insurance agent, was in the car with Dr. Cummins at the time of the accident. The two were en route to Salt Lake City. As near as can’ be ascertained, the accident occurred when an attempt was made to avert a collision with of of to in Men another car coming in the opposite direction. The Hudson car being driven by Dr. Cummins skidded in GLENROCK — Muscle-bound, ex-| the soft dirt alongside the road and ercise-lacking business men of| overturned.

The school board, recognizing that senility 1s likely to attack some of the townspeople, offered to allow the business men and others who get too Uttle exercise to use the gym one night a week. Planning to form an athletic as sociation so that the work might be handled systematically, leaders in the movement called a meeting at the city hall, but owing to other diversions, the attendance was small and it {s the intention now to have the next meeting at the gym, when it 1s expected that sight of the splendid facilities for health bulld- ing will inspire many of the old fel- lows to climb into thelr athletic suits and go to work. Made Big Haul GUERNSEY—Griotore Nauni, an Italian residing at Sunrise was the victim of trickery when some cul- prits moved a large still, seven 50 gallon barrels fut! of mush, 25 gal- lons of finished moonshine and other equipment into his home, which Sherit?

He was elected by the greatet majority that any man ever got In a city the size of Peoria in the state of I'linols. That was 20 years ago, and Ed Woodruff is mayor of Peoria yet, and always will be as long as he lives if he wants it. The same thing is going to happen to the governor of Wyo- ming and the state highway com- mission when we get the kind of men in office who have got the back bone to stand up and pave the Yel- lowstone highway.

Taxpayers of the district had hed opportunities to vote for the reestablishment of the Dry Creek school at school meetings, but had failed to do so the directors averred. For Increased Travel LAUDER—H. 0. Barber, who fust returned from a trip to Chicago, Where he went to took over the plans of the Northwestern Raflroed, in connection with the advertising of the Southern Entrance to Yellow- stone Park, says that the railroad officials look for @ recor travel and genuine liberties and on the whole, the great- est and wisest interpreter of the fundamental princiuples of our government. Like the buoys and lighthouses, it marks the safe channel for the ship of state. There is noth- ing infallible to the pilot; nor is there anything: infallible to the supreme court. However, it is safer to trust the pilot than the crew, the su- preme court than congress. The rights of individuals, the Mberties of the ple, have never suffered from too much de- iberation in progressive alteration of the con- sitution; they might suffer irreparably from too much haste. A Business Weakness There is a weakness increasingly observed among the business men of this nation, and that is that they are altogether too inactive when it comes to selecting officials to manage the public business. Be the Aer people are thaporehly. 5 Ygtors ed the utmost faith can be placed in the! 34 route ligence and sense of justice; and they will sup- ee ce se Core port any man, group of men or party who fight/ tions to take care of the sams. to preserve American principles and to preserve} A big amount of advertising mat- sources of’ liquor production; suppression of in- terstate traffic in liquor and promition of re- for law. ; Continuation of the policy of restrictive im- migration, with immigrants to be selected abroad, and the immediate registration of all : aliens.

Relief for the farmer through lower taxes and freight rates, cheaper fertilizers, greater organ- ization which would permit reduction of the wheat acreage; diversification of farming; en- couragement in the formation of co-operative marketing organizations; continuation of gov- . ernment loans, and assistance in exportation through the War Finance Corporation.

Antilynching legislation, additional appropri- ations for vocational training in agriculture for negroes and creation of a commission of whites and negroes “to formulate a better policy for mutual understanding and confidence.” Extension of the Civil Service to the prohibi- tion enforcement field forces exclusive of the members of the present force and placing in the classified civil service of postmasters of the first, second and third classes.

In addition to these and a score more of rec- ommendations, relatively of less importance, Mr. Coolidge discussed foreign debts, declaring him- Wf against cancellation ald for a reasonable in agcordauce with principle to reclamation projec the government in its functions for founding fathers created it. The conduct of business is not a gov- ernmental function; it has been demonstrated time and again that whenever this has been | attempted, the service has been impaired and! untold waste has been committed. We need no government interference in bus- iness, but we need all the business in govern-| ment we can get, and above all we need the bus- | iness men in politics and public affairs to help) rout the cheap politicians, demagogues and rad- icals from their present places of anchorage. The Half Baked Financier We have had misguided financial reformers who would. fix things better than they are at the present, at various stages of the country’s| progress. A favorite idea being that large vol- umes of paper money will make money easier and raise wages. These self-appointed experts have an example in the real value of wages in Germany. Free traders have been in the habit of saying that wages in free trade countries may be lower than in the United States, but prices lare higher in ‘protected countries. The real test of y in their purchasing power and the yurs a man is obliged to labor to buy 2 meal or a suit of clothes. There is a vast vol- ume of paper money in Jermany, but a man has \to work twenty hours in Germany to earn a pound of butter; six weeks to earn a pair of number of shoes, and nearly six months to earn a suit of ele \dvocates of paper money should not f et these and other similar facts, ter is being put m shfipe for the printers, and this will go forward before the first of the year.
