The League of Nations has been helpless in this endless strife to grab the biggest fruit of the| that of the whole civilized world 11 years ago. war, cripple Germany and secure revenge. Broadly speaking, in all probability nothing, not even the league of nations or any other or- ganization, can bring peace to Europe until the party upon which the ambitious McAdoo is at tempting to unload himself. Notwithstan: our opposition to the icles of the Democratic party, candor and esty compels us to admit that it is a great party, | {numbering among its adherents some Americans, and is entitled to go before the Amer- ican public in the next campaign with a great man at the head of its ticket, not entity or a mediocre, self-seekin; with a non- politician like McAdoo or a mere false alarm Jim Cox. To Enter All Contests The Coolidge campaign managers have decided jto enter his name in every state where there is {a preferential primary contest for the Republi: can presidential delegation. This would seem to be sound politics from all angles. It will keep Hiram Jolinson actively en- gaged in a good many states where he would have a walk away against the average favorite son candidate. And the outcome of those primaries will do much to settle in the minds of the president's ea supporters any doubt which may exist as to his vote-getting popularity in western states which are conceded to be essential to Repub- lican victory at the polls next November. If President Coolidge gives a good account of ‘That amazing chairman of the Democratic national committee, Cor- dell Hull, of Tennessee, has a new thought. It is this: _The establish: disposal of the principal needs of the Amert- can farmer. My; what a head a man must have to think of such a thing as that! But why does not Mr. Hull show us, instead of just telling us? There aré a good many hungry people in Europe now, particularly in Germany. Unquestionably they would be very giad to buy and eat the surplus food products of the United States. There are no restric- tions on exportation and there fs an extraordinary number of ships look- ing for cargoes. Mr. Hull mey not be a capitalist, but_ supposedly he could get hold of a little money—say $1,000, For $1,000 he could buy e. proximately 1,000 bushels of whi in the United: States.. Once tanded in Germany he could sell that wheat for about 150,000,000,000 marks himself in these direct primary contests, one of the most important obstacles to his renomina- tion—the feeling that he is too much of an east- erner to carry the west—will have been removed If, on the other hand, the California senator trims him decisively and repeatedly there will be a quiet search for a darkhorse. th either instance, it isn’t going to make the Johnsonian path to the nomination any esier. The Road to Peace | The peace footing of European armies before the outbreak of 1914 was 3,700,000 men. Now it is 4,300,000, Germany, Austria and Bulgaria have been disarmed. Included in the total before the world war was 700,000 men these nations had league of nations functioning. The new states created by the Versailles treaty are for the most ing armies does not include greatly increased auxiliary forces or take into account the increas- ed amount of wer-making machinery, Europe's man-killing power today is twice as great as The league of nations forbids military alliances, yet Europe is notoriously a network of these war breeding combinations.

Two great European economic and financial conferences have been held since the armistice. The true American spirit is one of courage, The greatest ob- stacle to progress is the constant caterwauling of the calamity howlers and the lugubrious wail- ing of political quacks who try te make people believe they are in need of patent nostrums, The first was held at Brussels in 1920, likewise |these mountebanks stand ready to exchange for sponsored by the league of nations. Speakers dwelt eloquently and pleadingly on the abnor- mal obstacles which hindered business and re- tarded economic progress. The conclusion favor- ed budgets, reduction of armaments, elimination of subsidies, limitation of loans to production, funding of external debts and elimination of in- ternal and trade restrictions; Mr. Boyden was the unofficial observer of the United States. It will be noticed that one of the leading subjects discussed was the breaking down of economic barriers, which means the elimination of protec- tive tariffs and customs houses. The conference brought no tangible result. The second economic conference was held at Genoa in the spring of 1922, also under the aus- pices of the league of nations, Delegaates came from nearly all the countries of Europe, includ- ing Germany and Russia. The arrival of dele- gates from these two countries was accompanied by suspicion and tragedy. The result was doubt and secret alliances. Lloyd George undertook to lay down certain economic principles to guide the delegates, but the conference dissolved into a’ modern Tower of Babel. It was wrecked on the shoals of Rus- sia and the rocks of Germany. The world will watch with interest a third ef- fort under the auspices of the league of nations to engineer a European Economie conference, whose deliberations will center about repara- tions, the ability of Germany to pay, a stabal- izing of Germany's finances and perhaps inter- national debts and other economic problems, Disowned by His Party Readers are invited to discover and report any endorsement, in Democratic newspapers, of the financial views of the self-selected candidate for the presidency on the Democratic ticket, William Gibbs McAdoo. So far as we have been able to observe there has been nothing but criticism. Such newspapers as the New York World, New York Times and New York Journal of Commerce have made only contemptous references to his puerile utterances. In speaking of Mr. McAdoo's criticism of President Coolidge’s m age to con- gress, the last named paper has said: “This attack by the former secretary simply falls flat. It will not commend itself to any con- servative or careful mind engaged in the study of public questions and there is little in it that will elicit the real “radical” support since it does not apparently offer any radical program— save the old one of payments from the treasury, reckless finance and concessions to classes sup. posed to have yotes. The nation at large has suf- fered enough mn McAdoo finance and railroad- ing not only at the hands of the former secre- tary himself, but at those of the holdovers and imitators who continued so long in the treasury and in the Railroad Administration.” i Nothing that has been said or written in crit- icism of Mr. Wilson’s son-in-law has been more blistering than this editorial from a newspaper presumed to be in sympathy with the politica? power and prequisites. Curb the Fools We are being informed by certain statesmen that the federal constitution cramipe their style and the supreme court needs curbing. The su- preme court was established to curb legislators and executives who wish to violate the guaran- tees of individual rights incorporated in the con- !stitution, which alone put it without the power of any man or set of men to use government as an instrument of tyranny and oppression. What this nation most needs at this time is a curb on those who would ride roughshod over the con- stitution and it will be a sorry day for the Amer- ican people when the power of the courts to pro- tect the citizen against the misuse of legislative or executive power is destroyed or impaired. We're Not the Goat The statement of President Coolidge that the league of nations is a European concern does not sovm to satisfy the statesmen ou tlir other side of the AUvntic. Their idea seems to be tit you cant run any kind of a lodge without a guat. Mr. Sapronoff, secretary of the central execu- tive committee of the Soviets has had the ef- frontery to publicly object to the imprisonment and deportation of members of the communist party, who have expressed views conflicting with the higher party organization. He suggests that party workers should have a chance to use their brains. Possibly if they did they would cease to me communist party workers. among the pacifistic church dignitaries who are continually whooping it up for a world league of governments, by proposing a world league of religions, with headquarters in Mecca and with of the votes in the governing body. Sister Carrie Chapman Catt one of our prin- cipal European propagandists takes a violent crack at the old reliable Monroe Doctrine, de- claring in her well-known facetious manner that it is “like an old umbrella—you can’t use it and you can’t throw it away.” A particular in which Sister Catt is wholly unlike an umbrella readily suggests itself. - The sizzling question of the hour is, will con- gress come through and meet the expectations of the great mass of burdened taxpayers, or will it come home with a silly abilbi and ask to be returned to further pollyfox on the subject.

Why Feeding Local Corn ‘WHEATLAND—Corn raised in this vicinity can be used most ad- vantageously for a sixty day feed for range cattle before shipping them tq market in the fall, accord: ing to a'well informed local man, who states that former notions re- garding the inexpediency of a 60- day feed for cattle have been some- ‘what upset by recent results, The case of a carload of cattle shippd from a local feedlot after a 50 day feed of corn is cited. This car- load consisted of 22 two-year old steers bought for $52, two 2-year old steers bought for $27.50, one cow bought for $30, and one old cow bought for $20, the total buying Price being $1254. After the fifty-day feed he sold the cattle for $1651.68 net on the market, the margin of $397.68 being a fair Price for his 12 tons of hay and 690 bushels of snapped corn. All this in spite of the fact that the market for steers had declined considerably since he bought the steers. His profit consisted of 6,700 pounds of pork gained by hogs running be- hind the cattle. The feeder reported that the hogs gained as much on the corn running behind the cattle 90 acres of corn that has been husk- ing out 30 and $5 bushels per acre. At the current price of 60 cents per bushel, this makes a gross return of from $18 to $21 per acre.

Feeding Profits DOUGLAS—-H. O. Emery and Thomes E. McNamara of this city last week sold a hundred head of beef cattle locally and realized a much better price on them than they could have had they shipped to the Denver markets, This feeding and selling locally is much more profitable than shipping to the markets where a freat many cattle are bought for feeding purposes. The cattle were sold to a feeder at Scottsbluff, Nebr., who also nade money on the deal as he would have had to pay more for them at the market and then paid the freight to the point where he intends to feed them. PEARL WHITE Omahi as they would if they had been fed the grain direct. ¥ In a recent issue of The Producer, it was advanced in favor of the 60- day feed that it gave the beef a corn flavor, even though no large gain in weight was made. A prejudice ex- ists against the flavor and the ap- pearance of graas beef, and the sixty day feed is sufficient to give the meat the color and taste of corn fed beef. Can You Beat It?

LOAN VALUE AND SPACE BUYING qr Business concerns seeking credit at regular intervals sub- mit detailed audits by disinterested public accountants. The banker making the loan demands it. These audits instantly disclose the exact financial condi- tion of the business. They show the true value of inven- tories and assets; costs of operation; profits and loss. ~ Such an audit creates confidence and is considered ane- A¢ cessity in banking operations, The A. B.C. audit serves a similar purpose in advertising. A publisher or his representative in selling space presents his latest A. B.C. report. This shows quantity, territory of distribution, methods by which circulation was secured, and many other details necessary for the intelligent pur- chase of advertising space. . A study of the A. B. C. audit brings out every detail of circulation data, and immediately establishes confidence between the Buyer and Seiler of Space, For publishers to sell and advertisers to buy on the basis of A. B.C. reports is nothing more than putting efficient Business Methods into Advertising, Let the Casper Daily Tribune submit ‘ their latest A.B.
