They have taken A part heretofore but nothing comparable with what is now contem- plated. Already club organizations have been es- tablished and in process of forming. i One thing the women are doing they have never done before, they are demanding things, and proving their right to them. They are ane ing their sisters in the several counties to attend the county conventions or central committee meetings, where, state convention delegates are selected, advising them to take part and see to it that they secure a season's share of the legates to the state convention. Aen even further the women are asking that representatives of their sex be recognized and commissioned as delegates to the national con- vention at Cleveland. : They base their claims upon the fact that they represent forty-five per cent of the Republican vote in Wyoming. This estimate cannot be far wrong. And in the original equal suffrage state of the union, if the women insist, we fail to find any reason- able excuse why they should not have their way. Women of late years have become thoroughly skilled in handling public gatherings conducted under parliamentary rules. ‘We believe they are as adept in all else that pertains to the nomina- ion and election of public officers. = While they may not be so skilled as men in the fine tri of politics that come with long prac- tice and much experience, in time we feel as-} sured they will be able to give.us cards and | spades and still beat us ont, in the game of which we believe ourselves past masters. There is one thing most certain, no group of women in the world, however inexperienced, cowld muss things up in worse fashion than men have done of late and as men are at present do- ing in the United States senate at this very mo- ment. We nre for taking the women into full part- nership in politics, and doing it at once. This in the hope that it will add greater respectability to the greatest American game we play. Winter Further Enlightens the | Country on. Charles ®. Winter, member of congress from Wyoming is doing a magnificent work by placing before the country the truth about the | 5 ° Teapot Dome lease and correcting the many mis: | ; The Senate's Usurpation y apprehensions relative to this oil field.

Mr. Winter has | given it in the most able manner and with such ; wealth of detail and proof, that there can be but little question in future among intelligent people, of the true situation and the feelings of the people located on the ground who have care- fully analyzed even taken the contract apart | and examined the works. In the Winter ad- dresses the careful and sound opinion of Wy: ming is reflected, wild stories, misrepresenta- tion and many plain lies are refuted. The great oil industry of the country is set | right, and a new face is given to many phases of the industry. | Mr. Winter is not only one of the leading le gal lights of the house, but experienced in the oil business as well. In addition he is as honest as the sunshine. He has no motive other than for the good of his country when he says that the cancellation of the Teapot lease would be against the public interest and in the nature of a crime. Dr. Mead, a Wyomingitc Tt is indeed a fortunate circumstance for Wyo- ming that Elwood Mead is the head of the rec-} lamation division of the interior department and | will have much to say respecting the Casper- | Alcova project now uppermost in the minds of | the people of central Wyoming. | Dr. Mead is a former Wyomingite, Stands at | the head of the class of hydraulic engineers of the country, and is the pioneer engineer and real | father of irrigation enterprise in the state. | He was the territorial and state engineer from 1888 to 1809 during which most of the early ir- rigation in Wyoming was developed. le left Wy- oming in 1899 to become chief of irrigation and drainage investigation for the federal agricul- tural department, where he served until 1907.

They have been fast friends for many; years, and it must be a great satisfaction to} Senator Warren to have the next great irriga- tion project in this state placed in such com- petent hands. f It is understood that funds will shortly be available for the preliminary surveys and in- vestigations of the project with a view to its con- struction. The project is a vital one to central Wyoming as a source of future food supply. The President Becomes Leader The coming of spring at Washington has in- vigorated the Republicans, and the bright sun- shine has aroused them to the fact that the Dem- ocrats have rather run away with things during a horrible mess of things. They have realized at last that this is presidential year and it is high time somebody got to work. All members of the party in congress except the radicals in house and senate who have play- ed the Democratic game since the opening of the session, are turning to President Coolidge for leadership. In conversation and conference in the iast fortnight they have said that party suc- cess in the elections next fall depends in no small measure on following Mr. Coolidge in much the same way that the Democrats followed Woodtow Wilson from 1912 to 1919. Having agreed that a Republican victory depends upon the man in the White House, they are turning to him as a leader in fact as well as in name, the first time they have done so since the days of Theodore Roosevelt, saying that the conventions and primaries ‘held in the last two months have demonstrated that the president has the respect and the esteem of the country. It is the intention henceforth to stir the latent enthusiasm of the yoters. In one respect recent days have marked an im- portant turning point not only in preparing for the coming campaign but in directing the af- fairs of the government. Present plans call for active support of the president as the recognized leader of the party, in marked contrast to the last four months dur- ing which period the Republicans have been un- able to find. anyone to follow in fighting the party’s battles. From now on the Republicans in the house and senate will follow the president’s lead. The word is being passed around to get his views and to follow them| As an evidence of the teamwork which is showing itself for the first time is the conference which Senator Watson of Indiana had with the president and secretary of the treasury. This is the forerunner of others which will become daily affairs. Whereas less than a fortnight ago the conser- vatives were planning to assume control of the} national convention and direction of the cam- paign, they are now saying that the president will take complete charge due in part, it is ad- mitted, to his doing just that on his own accord. He is being urged to make his selection at the earliest possible date of a new chairman of the national committee. so he can take hold of the affairs of the party the day that Chairman John T. Adams resigns, following the Cleveland gathering. He is being urged to pick an organ- izer who knows the middle west where the real tle will be fought. Special emphasis is being aid on selection of a man who has not been close- ly identified with campaigns in the past. It is said he needs a man who can lift the middle west out of the sullen mood in which it is at present and. a man who can shock it into new life. Several names are being mentioned among others, “Hell and Maria” Dawes. The statement was made in party circles that from now on the Democrats will not be allowed to go unanswered as in the last few months. The groundwork for the enampaign was laid by the | Republican senators. The truth is that the mem jbers of the party are more worried about the {outcome of the elections next November than they care to admit. They appreciate that they have done very little since last December to con tribute to party success and, with only two! months before the national conventions are held there is no time to be lost. the persistent efforts of the egotists and the Bolshevists in congress to usurp the powers of the co-ordinate branches of the government, both judicial and executive. The message is more than no rebnke; it is.a protest and a. warning. All historically minded. men have long recognized the tendencies mani-| ual undermining of our form of government. So far as this country is concerned and for the time being at least government of, for and by) the people has perished from the earth. I pt in form and as a matter of routine we have no government. The word government im- plies order and there is no order—only chaos, Tneapable of exercising the duties imposed upon them as the representatives of the people, the new who held the balance of power in congress. the little little surrendering even the orgies of “investigation” to outsiders. Senators obsessed with a mania for autocratic power or senators: impelled by vengeance are asking and are being accorded the right to con- duct the government in their own way. The senate committee appointed to investigate the tax bureau of the treasury department was ostensibly named for the purpose of bringing} about needed reforms in the administration of | the office, By vote of a majority of the commit-| tee it has been turned into an instrument for carrying on a personal feud between one of its! members and the secretary of the treasury. } Senator Couzens has been given the privilege | of appointing his own privately paid counsel and} he has selected for that position a man who is| famed as a prescutor and who has no proven equipment for the task of carrying on a con-| structive investigation from which needed re- forms might be expected to flow. Senator Couzens is following the example set by Mr. Vanderlip. He has his own ideas ebout the private and_public character of the secretary of the treasury and he also has his own ideas succeeded in having themselves elected to office, Now that the Standard Ol] com- But let's get that highway done pany has completed asphalt plant and will start up on the first of May, it is time for us to start something. miles between Casper and Gilenrock all ready for the paver. a paved without using: a dollav of ready money. .

We have had too many exemplary suggestions of what Government control of the schools might and probably would mean for thoughtful citizens to regard any such scheme with favor or toleration. We have seen state governments try to sup- press all private instruction and to dictate to parents what their chil- dren shall and shall not learn. We have seen some States, at the behest of fanatical bigotry, try to prohibit the teaching of modern science, and even the publication and circulation of some of the most authoritative and essental textbooks. What some state works of Darwin or Huxley, and to 2 arrest without warrant and try and convict without jury any miscreant of a pedagogue who might be caught teaching the evolutionary origin of the universe. The Federal Government may well give ald to education, as it has done and is doing; and that aid can-be most valuable and efficient in other forms than subventions. But to run the danger of transforming the educational system of the country into a political and partisan machine, controlled by politicians instead of educators, and subject to manipula- [tion according to the political com: plexion of congress or of the Ad- ministration, would, as President Butler of Columbia University well says, mark the beginning of the end of the America which our fathers knew.
