The Tribune is preparing to shortly’put on an industrial exposition designed for the advance- ment and upbuilding of Wyoming through prop- er exhibition of Wyoming resources and accom- plishments in all the lines that have made the state great at home, but which greatness has not yet been acknowledged by the world. There ig no better way of performing a service of this character where all interests may have equal benefit, than to place before thore who do not know, or worse those wi » do not believe, the actual things we have and do, and permit the unknowing and the unbelieving to view with their own eyes. The idea of collecting and comparing the pro- duction of one with that of another in the same or similar line is the basis and highest purpose of all expositions. It affords opportunity not only for comparison, but for improvement in methods and degree of excellence, for which people who make things and do things are con- stantly striving. The Tribune will go to Infinite pains and con- siderable expense to bring together in one form or another, the resources and manufactures of the state. It realizes the Impossibility of such an undertaking without the cordial co-operation and ‘support of the various interests concerned in the development of the state. This the Trib- une desires and must have. The results hoped for are to be in the indirect and large way in which the people of the entire state will share. If through a showing of our re- sources and products, capital is attracted and development is stimulated, and new people come, and factories and plants are built, and labor employed, and towns are built, and railroads are constructed, and a thousand and one other things occur, giving rise to prosperity, any ex- pense incurred in the enterprise is well ex- pended. Since the proposed exposition is to be held in Casper, it would seem that Casper interests should take the lead in the matter. The possibil- ities of such an undertaking are readily appar- ent. And we are extending to Casper business; men and Casper upbuilders an invitation to call at the Tribune Exposition department and give the project the once over, and see how teant work and business enterprise can be employed for the benefit of the state. ’ Campbell's Memory As possible candidates for the presidenecy groom themselves for the race, veterans of pol- itics are quoted as indorsers of possible. nom- inees. We observe references to James E. Camp- bell, who was elected governor of Ohio in 1889, + defeating Joseph B. Foraker for a third term. . It was not becanse of lack of confidence in For- aker, but a strong prejudice against third terms in office by all parties. Campbell was defeated two years later by Wiliam McKinley. Mr. Campbell, could write, if he chose, a fine paper on the Ohio Democrats of 1883. They warned their political brethren in all parts of the union thet the “tariff for revenue only” plank of 1880 was a blunder that must not be re- peated. In plain terms they insisted on inci- dental protection to our industries, and for a time the “Ohio platform” was talked of every- where. There is no doubt that many Republicans were alarmed at the prospect of a Democratic victory. Samuel J. Randall was then quite strong enough for a presidential race, and his chances of carrying New York, Indiana, Connecticut and Ohio were excellent. New Jersey was practically certain for a conservative Democrat. We hear little now of the strength of tariff sentiment in the Democracy of forty years ago. But the Ohio men were combative, even to the aggressive point. They made themselves felt. The New York World declared that success could be won only by recognizing the needs of our indus- tries. It spoke tenderly of “the old Seymour doc- trine,” the plank of 1868 It praised Grover Cleveland as one who did not condemn protec- tion as unconstitutional. James E. Campbell re- members all this. He was one of the Ohio Demo-! erats, who at that time spoke out in clear tones/| for the American workshop and the American e scale. Mr. Campbell remembers the showing of 1884, and the forty Democrats who joined the Repub- licans in voting down William R. Morrison’s tar-| iff bill. He knows far better than any Republi- can how letters and telegrams of congratulation poured in upon these men. He knows that they made possible the victory won in November. He knows that the national committee sent protec- tionists to every industrial state. Free traders were allowed to speak if they paid their own traveling expenses, but the campaign of 15 from first to last based on the the Democratic party would wa our industrial system. We living today knows more a tha than James E. Campbell. 3} Cleveland + disarmament, 0 | league lent its name to a hopeless und aged the protectionists of his party. A year lat- er they had some misgivings as to his course. | In 1887 he made the foolish attack on the Amer- ican system which caused his defeat in 1888. There were Democrats in Ohio who resented his course and said so. Mr. Campbell remembers the speech of George L. Converse—a blast which angered the free-traders all the more because they felt its truth. Converse declared that in its long history the Democratic party had been generally on the right track, but that it had made two great er- rors. One was when it strove to force slavery into the territories. The other was when it sought to strike down our manufacturing sys- tem. Five years later a protest of like import was made by David B. Hill against the Wilson- German measure. Randall, Converse, McPherson, Weed, Whit- ney, Flower, Payne, Grady, Dana, Barbour, Dan- iels, all are gone. Mr. Campbell knows how near the Democratic party came to throwing its free- trade fetish overboard. When in 1920 Mr. Cox pleaded that he was in favor of protection wher- ever necessary, James E. Campbell’s reflections may have had a touch of the sardonic. res ” Another League “‘Victory Being severely critical of the latest league of nations venture the Rome conference for naval is entirely superfluous. The which was foredoomed to failure by the notor- iously militaristic attitude of Soviet Russia. The conference was to extend the blessings of the Washington treaties to the smaller naval powers. But instead of talking disarmament, all the conferees led by Russia, joined: in what amounted to a writ to the league to show cause why they should not have permission to increase their navies. The American league press is discreetly silent about the Rome fiasco, except for one enthusiast who chalks up another “victory” for the league. This splendid triumph consists in the fact that the league showed its impotence to coerce any nation, thus exploding the “myth” that the league is a superstate. The Philippine Pork Barrel It is customary each year for the Philippine legislature to include in its appropriation bill an item of one million pesos iden- tified as the “indepndence fund.” This fund finances propaganda both in the islands and the United States and pays the expenses of the var- ious missions that ever and anon sail from the Philippines for the purpose of presenting their cause before congress and the government at Washington. The auditor for the island government has this year questioned the legality of these expendi- tures,bringing about a deadlock between Gov- ernor General Wood and the legislature. Both sides have agreed to submit the matter to the attorney general of the United States for arbi- tration. On the ground of strict legality there may be room for argument. But what happens to a fund of this kind is only too easily imagined. Fili- pino independence is‘a political issue in the is- lands and is employed by virtually all candi- dates for office, The candidate who whoops the loudest for freedom and the party that has the largest amount of funds for discreet distribution is the one that wins, The party in power at any given momept is thus supplied with campaign sinews. Besides, here is a self-starting made-to-order and per- petual pork barrel into which favored sons may reach their hands with impunity. To expect any great degree of civic honesty to attend upon the handling of this million, pesos is simply to ex- pect the impossible. : It is not enough to say that the Filipinos are virtually unanimous in their desire for inde- pendence. Only a handful haye even the dimmest realization of what independence would mean. The rest believe the politicians when they say a free Filipino republic would bring an abolsh- ment of taxes and police and assure free land and other millennial blessings. The few that do know’ independence would probably mean financial and political chaos keep it to themselves, for they are the ones that use the issue to boost themselves into. office; they are the ones that profit most considerably by the automatic pork barrel. It might be mentioned also and just in pass- ing, that the million pesos a year does not bring the Philippines one jot nearer independence. Fragmentary Facts Harry F Sinclair through the Mammoth Oil company has expended between $45,000,000 and $50,000,000 in carrying out the provisions of his lease and contract with the government. His ex- penditures have gone into an 800-mile pipe line, roads, camps, tanks, wells, etc. To date Mr. Sin- clair has produced from the Teapot Dome reserve 1,174,191 barrels of fuel ofl and credited the gov- ernment with 184,581 barrels of royalty oil, val- ued at $279,651. The Sinclair lease and cantract is simpler than those of Mr. Doheny. The Teapot Dome lease covers 9,321 acres of land withdrawn to create neyal petroleum reserve No. 3 by an executive order of April 30, 1915. Mr. Sinclair’s lease covers the entire area, and provides for royalties running up to 50 per cent, according to the production and specific gravity of the oil. It calls for the drilling of a certain number of wells in a limited time and the construction of the pipe line ‘to existing lines in. Missouri. Mr. Sinclair agreed to furnish the government with fuel oil in exchange for crude oil and to deliver it at points designted by the navy from Guan- tanamo, Cuba, to the northwest corner of the United States, What Do We Realize? As a matter that ought to be placed before the people in detail some active statisician ought to go back over the records and show the cost of congressional investigations and also the actual results that have been obtained bearing on the good of the Union. This thought is suggested by the fact that the senate has just exhausted its contingent fund of $150,000 and is unable to pay witnesses for their attendance on the oil investi- gation. A bill for another $150,000 is pending, | and that money will be spent before the session comes to an end, together with various special appropriations made from funds “not otherwise appropriated” and designed for use in other in- is no unheard of thing for the senate to ap- S| propriate $100,000 for the purpose of satisfying ity. Sometimes the money is well spent but it is a notorious fact that many an investiga- tion has been ordered and carried out only to be | forgotten and ignored. The whole truth as to the jcost of these flouted and neglected inquiries grapher apparently knows very little about it.
