We fully realize that there would be many ob- jections raised to the city disposing of the only beauty spot there is within the limits, but with a handsome county building and grounds would this park be destroyed? The public would have fully as many benefits as it now enjoys. A beau- tiful county building could not possibly detract from surrounding property. It will still be the beautiy center, with fine church edifices soon to be built and already built and the Elks home and city hall to add their architectural contri- butions. It all seems to be ideal. The city has long delayed the work of improv- ing and beautifying the fine stretch of park land deeded to it by the federal government for park purposes, and known as Buckunm park. The Jand has magnificent possibilities, and they should be developed at once, for the enjoyment of the people. Casper’s population has reached a count ex- ceeding thirty thousand. While we are in no sense congested still there is a large demand for a smitable breathing space of proper magni. tude where the people may assemble and seek rest and recreation from the toils and struggles of the day. “ Casper has grown s0 rapidly and built so hur- riedly that but scant attention has been paid, until very recently, to beauty and comfort. These things are as necessary in a permanent city as roofs over the heads of the citizens. It can do no possible harm to consider all these things as we go along, and among them the idea of the park as a court house site. Biding Our Time yer, and with Denver only in the amount of freight received. We originate more freight than all of them combined, excluding Denver; and exceed her individually by a very large margin. Casper’s requested relief, is considered not only equitable but eminently just. There seems but slight doubt that it will be granted. Advisable to Stay Home Quite a contingent of estimable American citizens desire us to assume the responsibility of moral leadership in Europe, for the two re: sons; that Europe is dying by inches from lac of it, and because of our superior moral fitness to supply the leadership needed. to show our credentials and samples of our good Visualize the situation if our enthusiasts should go at once they would be in Europe pro- fessing to know how to lead the European right-| eously, sanely, fairmindedly, and, withal, effi- ciently. Let us assume that they are there, and that they have outlined their project for the} moral-political reformation of Europe. And now somebody quietly asks them for an example tak en from life here at home. Our representatives could show our overseas friends the fine spactacle of a straight-out case of alleged exploitation of public resources and alleged bribery, converted into a cheap partisan > | | | | can history when hysteria has seemed to take rule over reason. The oil hysteria will live long in the memory of men as a remarkable illustra- tion of mob psychology in its incredible phases, and yet it is no more inscrutable than some other instances of semi-madness. During the re- cent war, for example, the pro-German hysteria became so violent that any man who failed to subscribe for as many Liberty bonds as his en. set the pack barking at his heels or rending him in shreds. Perhaps the earliest instance of contagious hysteria in this country was witnessed in 1692 when the Salem witchcraft delusion seized upon the Massachusetts colonists and bereft even the most conservative and deliberate men of all sem- blance of mental stability. When a woman had committed an act that made her liable to pun- ishment, she set up the defense that she had been bewitched by a neighbor. Similar accusations spread and soon the whole community was cast- ing covert insinuations or open charges upon even the best people, and, in every instance, there was a presumption of guilt. The accused were condemned for refusal to confess. Fathers per- mitted their own daughters to be executed as witches when there was not the slightest valid evidence against them. Anyone who had the good sense and courage to protest against the pro- ceedings was immediately considered a witch. The accused were certain of punishment if they confessed and they were as equally certain of punishment if they added to their supposed of- fense by denying it. The Massachusetts colonists finally came out of their hysteria, just as the country finally caine out of the war-time “ProGerman” hys- teria, but not until large numbers of people had suffered irreparable injury. In due course of; time we shall come out of the present “oil scan- dal” hysteria, but not until many good names have been smirched in the same manner as that of the late President Harding. Quite likely there were some wrongful acts in connection with the oil leases, as there were un- doubtedly some Americans who permitted their sympathy for Germany to lead them to un-Amer- ican acts or omissions. Quite likely too, there were those in the Massachusetts colony who possessed evil spirits, even if not in the nature of witches. But the wholesale accusations, suspicions and insinuations that are now so freely broadcast concerning dishonesty in transactions in oil are In our complicated and involved system there is one government employe for eleven persons more than sixteen years of age, and it is esti- mated that the salaries of these public employes amount to three billion eight hundred million dollars annually. Men are thinking, everywhere, and beginning to protest in no uncertain manner their resent- ment against an ever-increasing supervision and control over their business, their habits and customs and their morals. They stand for the separation of church and state as indicated in our fundamental law, but they regard as un- natural and dangerous the interpretation of such separation made by the modern reformer and hectic statesmen. The church has its place for services at ten times the ordinary rates for like work. The rest is pure drivel. At the rate city police are gathering in the hooch merchants, that occupation is going to be more hazardous, less profitable and distinctly unpopular in the future. In this connection it does not want to be overlooked that we also have an active lot of dope purveyors and still a few scarlet ladies who have crossed the dead line and invaded respectable neighborhoods. So far as the gentleman from Hollywood is concerned he is conjugated—McAdoo, McAdid, McAdone. political crisis in its history. This This year we must choose an executive, and if a demogogue is picked for that office we sh2” have only two safeguards left; the judiclary and the fact that some five months clapse between the time of choosing candidates and their induction into office. The serious character of the crisis confronting us is made more serious could come out of the existing situa- tion are really appalling. The ten millions who died in Russia as a result of the collapse of Russia's relatively simple, almost primitive economic organization, give only a suggestion of what the unloosing of a few stay-bolts and Anchor lines in this country could bring. ‘We need not discuss the possi- bility of a change in the form of our government—that has already taken place so far as the legislative branch is concerned and we doubt if conditions in that part of the government could be made much worse than they are. The responsible citizenry faces a duty as well as a crisis. Men like LaFollette, Brookhart and the rest do not believe in democracy; they believe in dictatorships— they lust for powrr and would seize it at any price. At the moment they believe that the easiest way to power is through bribery, through the whole- sale purchase of votes by bonuses and “poor men's” tax bills. If there were an easier road to power they would take it. The responsible citi- zens of the country are in duty bound to fight to the extreme for the lives of the millions who would be sacrificed if Brookhart and men like him got power. There is only one issue in the coming election and that is the quality of the men to be named as representatives. The politicians have subverted our government but we can restore it to its old form—even in the legis- lative branch. Every responsible citizen—and that means every man and woman whose happiness is bound up with the future of this country—is morally bound to lay aside everything, if necessary, until he has helped to restore our form of government.
