Dr. A. G. Smith, an evangelist of more than local reputation in his home country, where he is the pasto~ of the Enid, Okla., First Christ- ian church, is to commence a series of evangelis- tic meetings at the local Christian church this morning. The meetings are not to have a denomina- tional flavor in any sense, and they have the support and encouragement ef the Casper Minis- terial association. It is the hope that the meetings will not be confined to the Christian church only, but will after sub- be transferred to other churches of the city so that the several res i tions and their friends 1 be benefitted. Peaceful and Sensible Methods There is a notable ‘tendency in industrial, po- litical and economic erelations to resort more td arbitration and less to force. _ The mailed hand of militarism; the boycott and the strike are less in evidenc affairs and controversies between eapital and labor. More time and money are to be spent in the future in threshing out the economic details and arriving at the actual facts in differences aris- ing between governments and struggles between employers and employes. British Premier MacDonald, before the assem- bdly of the league of nations, says question® of se- curity and disarmament must be settled by arbi- tration in the future. He declares that no permanent establishment of world peace is possible without a scientific system of arbitration being put into operation. The indications in the industrial world point to the subsidence of manifestations of kaiserism in settlement of labor controversies. Continuing Demand The average thirty princ August was 15. tank wagon price of gasoline for s of the United States in 1 cents a gallon, a new low price for the year and about three cents below the price six months ago. Last year’s low price was 12.07 cents a gallon and high was 21 cents. In spite of the political fireworks that have been hurled at the oil #ustry, it€ontinues on its way and its prices are governed by the law of supply and demand. Gasoline consumption is increasing and the amount used in this country in June, this year, was St per cent greater than in June, 1923. Unfair or unnecessary politieal interference with the industry can bring just one result, re- doced prodoction and higher prices for con- sumers. With the demand for gasoline and oil products reasing steady rate for use in automo- biles, farm machinery, stationary gas engines and ships, there is every reason to believe that the general price of oil products will be up and not down. As the United States consumed 66 per cent of world production of petroleum products last year, this nation has a more vital interest than any other in seeing the oil industry maintained on a sound and prosperous basis which will en- able it to expand and fill the growing public demand. Change Practices Yet while columns of space haye been used in the newspapers urging greater caution in crossing railroad tracks coupled with demands for the elimination of railroad grade crossings. reely word has been said or a thing dor eliminate reckless and careless driving on the publie highways though the casualties oc curring the highways are over seventeen times greater than at railroad grade crossings. has it been suggested that because of a oceurring where highways cross ch other, the grade should be changed, probably be. rause the cost would be prohibitive as in the se of railroad grade changes. he way to eliminate accidents on the high ways and at railroad crossing is not to change the grade, for the tax burden is already too high, but change the loose way we have of regu lating drivers and issuing licenses, A railroad will not permit an engineer to oper ate an engine without, by several years of exper jence and thorough examination, he proves his fitness, but anyone with a few dollars can pu h n automobi © in ¢ license and without exper turn on the public high ways to the danger, not only of himself and those in his car, but to the driver and occupants of every other car that may be on the highway at that time. That is what causes automobile accidents on tho highways railroad crossings and the to prevent accidents is to prevent careless Purely Economic iviatter The tariff question is neither a Republican nor a Democratic issue. ° Workmen in this country are employed, eat, live, dress and have their amusements under wh we term the “American standard of liv- ing” which is higher han in any other nation in the world. Hours of work are shorter, factory and hous- ing conditions are better and wages are higher than can be secured elsewhere. This condition of affairs is not all an accident. It has been the outgrowth of an industrial policy which has en- couraged the building up of American indus- tries, It is worth a-whole lot to the American peo- ple to maintain this condition of affairs. It is worth a whole lot to a foreign nation to have such a market to sell to as our 110,000,000 people with their enormous busing power, provide. It is of no interest either to the foreigner or to ourselves, to destroy this market by bringing American workmen down to a lower standard of living through throwing our doors open to foreign goods produced at low prices with poorly paid labor working long hours. A suitable tariff forces the foreigner to charge a price which will enable American industries to compete for business and at the same time supplies the national government with about 500,000,000 a year tax revenue. Do not muddle the tariff question in polities It is purely a business proposition in the inter- est of American workmen, American industri government revenué and the foreign producer, Plan in Operation On the plan worked out by the Ameri pert finance commission, Germany has her first payment of 20,000,000 gold marks. This is an advance payment on the forthcom. loan to the German government that is being 1 in England and the United States, The loan will be used to purchase necessary raw materials like cotton, copper and other art- icles used in normal German ‘industries, Improved European prospects and restoration of industr tranquility come as a result of gen- eral acceptance of the non-partisan and non-pol. itical financial scheme worked out by American business men. 4 German industries and the German were suffering from a general industrial and financial paralysis that will now be relieved. As a result there will be opened up for Amer. investment American products a prac- rally unlimited field of opportunity in onr country. : "an ex: made in, r people There is the greatest inducement to the largest and strongest E ropean nations to carry out every feature of the program worked out by the Dawes committee. : _Not only the British government, but the en- tire 4,500,000 members of British trade unions are doing everything to successfully carry through the repsrations program. 3 s Positive Proof Such demonstrations as t in all of our cities and towns on Defense Day not. only aid the government in formulating plans for the National Defense, but are tangible evidence to our patriotic citizens that the schemes of the pacifists amount to little. The columns of publicity that are accorded the pacifist move- ment from time to time are all out of proportion to its importance. They may be accounted for in much the same way quantity of news hose that took place as the matter that followed the discovery of dinosaur eggs in the Gobi Desert and of white Indians in Darien. The people want to know all about any- thing unique or abnormal, And those words ex- actly describe the pacifists. Practically all of our people are entirely natural, normal, t- riotic citizens, always ready to respond to Rhe all of the government and to rush to its de- fense in time of need. The Inglorious End Two hundred and eighteen ships of the ernment’s wooden fleet have been breakers and will be burned in one great -bon- fire in order that the metal they contain may be more profitably extracted. The boats cost the tax- payers $235,000,000. They have been sold for $2 nile about one-tenth of one per cent of their cost, Thus is “finis” marked over one of the most monumental pieces of Democratic stupidity aud extravagance of the many that featured the ef. forts of that party in the World war. Not a single wooden ship carried a soldier or * piece of munitions to France, Not one of them ever made an overseas voyage, and but few tempted to engage in the coastwide trade. Practical men freely predicted that such would be the outcome when the wooden shipbuilding Program was entered upon. But Mr, Wilson had cqnfided his shipping policy to the tender care of political supporters totally innocent of any special Knowledge along that line. Sharp dis- Agreements prevented the adoption of any pro- gram for many months, but in the end the polit- iclans prevailed and the ridiculous wooden fleet was the result. ‘The boats will soon be but oa memory, but let ‘us hope that that memory will persist and prevent the return to power for all time of the pernicious influences that saddled sa a totally unnevessary burden upon the peo- ple, gov sold to ship Bowey a Candidate Among the ca the Wyoming legis Fremont county. idates for the lower house of ture is W.

He has built and fi- nanced and expanded his great en- terprises not with the aid, but in spite of the opposition, of Wall street and the great banking interests. The United States has produced the world’s greatest railroad “mag- nates,” but none of them has be- queathed his power, and the out- standing figures in the railroad world today are two brothers, who ‘were raised on an Ohio farm and a few years ago were real estate deal- ers in a modest way. Americans still young can remember when the ‘Vanderbilts and the Goulds divided supremacy in this field, and !t was predictéd that the two families would dominate the transportation interests of the country. Yét today there is net a Vanderbilt in active direction of the great system assoc!- ated with the mame, and the head of it, who died recently, began as an’ office boy. The Gould influence has become almost negligible. The chief executives of virtually all the great railroad enterprises are men who rose from the ranks, and the owner- ship js divided among hundreds of thousands of stockholders, The once mighty Astor family owes what prominence it still has te the Amer- n wife of an expatriated mem- than a generation ago the name of Havemeyer overshadowed the sugar industry; today it counts even less than the Rame of McCor- mick in the harvester industry There has been no sucpessor to An- drew Carnegie, once the great fron- master; the so-called steel trust, which no longer threatens to be- come a monopoly, is owned by mul- titudes of investors, including thou- sands of its employes, Every one recalls the recent time when there was alarm lest the pewer of Rocke- feller money should grow until It was greater than that of the govern- ment. Yet much of that. vast ac- cumulation is being returned to the public in beheficient enterprises, and the management of the estate is in the hands of a man who is actuated by an enlightened sense Of social responsibility, and he the only. son of the founder of this vast fortune.

No man or family or group can any longer dom- inate the instruments of production, the agencies of distribution or the resources of credit. The position of the American worker is In no sense analogous to that of the European worker. His difficulties and his problems are not the same. He {8 not shackled by old world class distinctions and priv. ilezes. His political freedom-is not clreumseribed. nor his economic ad- vancement hindered, by autocratic institutions. He possesses now the ts. for which European workers are battling There could not be a more found fallacy than the doctrine that the American worker should join the European revolutionary in overturn- ing the American republic and its constitution. It is to his inuterest, as it Is to the interest of every cit: tzen, to maintain the democratic and representative institutions through which he has established his political and economic rights. The class rule which false leaders promise, him is a vicious phantasy, an insane and as impossible of re- alization In this democratic age as would be the restoration of the ab- solute kings.
