The News Is the Thing Publishing all the news in a literal sense isn’t possible, but discrimination, giving the public all the news that is clean, readable and interesting is another thing. That is what The Tribune strives to do every day in tlie week but the Sunday Tribune carries a greater volume. it’s also the reason why The Tribune is read in virtually every home in Casper, and in every section of the state. Complete market and financial, sport, society and editor- ial pages are essentials, and The Tribune has them. Local, state and world news is of the utmost importance, and it’s all found in the Tribune. Special features, pictures comics, etc., round out a well balanced newspaper, and they do this for The Trib- une. “Fillers” and “Boiler Plate” have ‘no place in a good news: HOUSE PASSES BONUS WASHINGTON, May 17. —The house today passed the soldier bonus bill over President Coolidge’s veto. Party lines vanished as supporters of the measure piled up a comfortable mar- gin over the two-thirds ma- jority required on such a vote. Enactment into law or fin- al defeat of the bill is now up to the senate, where a closer result is expected. The house vote was 313 to 78. The bill thus received 52 more votes than the re- quired two-thirds. Fair Weather In Prospect Coming Week WASHINGTON, May 17.—Wen- paper—they are barred from The Tribune.
