Our hopes for the sparing of his life were centered upon him. We did not want him to } pass from among us. And it was all real, all genuine. ‘Lhe threat of death to one we have long. known and esteemed brings us all-tlose to gether. All trivial thir vanish and are no more in the presence of the great mystery. When the werd that the governor had embark- ed upon his Jast.journey, was flashed over the state, there was sorrow in every loyal heart in this broad commonwealth. Sincere and honest regret came from the lips of everybody. Will B. Ross’ presence upon earth was for ideals were high, his integrity unques- tioned 1 habits of life pure. In his official “capacity he desired nothing but the good, the liighest welfare, of the people whose public af- ie fairs he was chosen to direct. ii When his mortal remains are returned to mother earth at Cheyenne tomorrow afternoon, the people of the entire state will, figurativel, lay a little flower of respect upon the gray which forever conceals the man and the friend we have known in life as William B.

Dawes, Republican® vice presidential candidate be re ed from the national ticket 4nd George W. is of Nebraska, be Substituted. In the first place Brookhart himself is not a ublican, has affiliated with the party in congress or out of congress. He was nominated for senator on the Republican ticket by the yotes of everything in the shape of political faiths, . except members of the Republican party. He is everything-you may please to call him, except a Republican. He has masqueraded under the livery of Republican righteousness and has as constantly served the de Brookhart’s demand of the national committee should be worth just what the paper, upon which it was written, actually cost. No more. It should be given exactly the same weight as a- simi request coming from the indicted criminal Wheeler or the Mad Mullah of Madison, Wiscon sin Brookhart’s silly demand at thig time is made for the sole purpose of embar sing the Cool idge and Dawes campaign, which has made a negl orphan of Davis and is day day destroying the rdboard playhouse of LaFollette. T is exactly what this poor dupe, Brookhart, sought to do, trusting to luck his act would destroy the chance of securing Repub- lican electors for Coolidge and Dawes in Iowa. Well, if it has reached the point in Iowa that her splendidly intelligent population will remain away fron the polls and permit a mountebank l;ike Brookhart to dictate what shall and shall not be, we will try and run this republic without the aid of Towa. And if it has also reached the point that the great Republican party with its magnificent his tory ¢ romplishment, and its long list of great not Tyoeerne statesmen is to be ordered abont by a cheap, ignorant bullin-chi shop like Brookhart, and threatened with defeat, then we will ept the defeat and go down with honor. We will take no orders from any double-crossing, double-dealing, swell-headed brainless ass of the Brookhart type. And poor ol Iowa can remain in the clutches of this apostle of destruction until she regains her sanity and rises and destroys the destroyer. A Possibility ling its bit to the sum of political infor- mation with which the nation is at present glutted is the information from Reno, Nevada, that the Indians in that state can muster three f and that the red men might con result of the presidential election in the e for Nevada’s three elec choice of presidential candidates when the count is made at Washing. ton. Or they may so be cast as to throw the elec- tion into the house of representatives. What a commentary-on the present constitu. tional plan of electing the president and vice president of the United States! The population of Neyada in 1920, according . . es td decide the to the federal census, was but little oyer 77,000,{ The apple is innocuous. and since not greatly changed. fhe Casner Datilv” Eripune It harbors no ill-will toward mankind, and is, in its every aspect, the Arizona then had 394,000, and New Mexico] most friendly of fruits. 375,000. But yet each of these, with five times S$ many imhabitants as Nevada, has no more electoral ‘votes. This illustrates the numerous inconsistencies and inequalities of the electoral college system. The constitution allows each state as many electoral votes as the number of its senators and representatives in congress. Under the basis of apportionment still in ef- fect—the censns of 1910—every state has one con- gressman for each 211,817 inhabitants. Although Nevada has far less than that number, she ney- ertheless is entitled to one electoral vote because she has one congressman, which ‘gives her three in all Further comment seems to be needless. The LaFollette Menace Walter W. Head, of Omaha, president of the American Bankers’ association departing from the long established custom of making ‘signifi- cant political statements, made this pointed statement to the assembled bankers in conyen- tion: “While a boom in business is not likely at this time [ anticipate a steady improvement in gen eral business conditions. The marked adyance in prices of farm products, particularly of corn wheat and hogs, givés promise of renewed agri- cultural prosperity for the first time since 1920. This will inerease* materially the purchasing power of those engaged in agriculture or more than one fourth of our population. This, in turn, will increase the demand for manufactured prod- ucts the natural result of whic ill be a quick- ening of trade and industry throughout the coun he principal adverse element in the situa tion is the danger that the presidential election may not be determined conclusively at the polls in November and that the selection of the chief executive may be thrown into congress. This would cause much political uncertainty and dis- turb business in general. This can be avérted only if the voters are awake to the-situation and 20 to the polls in large numbers to register their choice, Jealousin eee ional retail druggis' In addressing the no the abounding common sense of President Cool idge is again proven. “It is no part of the theory of our republic that government is something im ported from above.” Those few words knock on the head all this vicious LaFollette pretence’ that it is govern ment’s function to meddle in eyerybody’s busi ness. Government is something useful “which comes up from the people.” The president wisely d that the most suc cessful business today is not the one which erasps a profit regardless of the service it ren- No student of trade and finance ever said « truer word. That business which stands as the ate est rock is the one which gives as well us takes, John Wanamaker once pithily observed that there could be no true bargain unless the men at both ends of it made a profit. To forfeit pub lie confidence is a mark of business insanity and no temporary profit can make up for less of popular respect. Busin of whatever kind to last must have the people’s confidence. The little gouge, the small cheat, the disguised flimflam are like evil birds and every one comes home to roost. The United States has had no president since Lincoln who sensed the fundamentals more un erringly than Calvin Coolidge. Traitor and Enemy The Thirty-Fifth Division: association conven tion of the men who saw service in the war, in on at Kansas City, unanimously adopted resolution attached hereto. Comment is su- perfluous. The Jo) at home as well as the loyal who served abroad all feel the same toward trai- to the common flag of the country: therefore, be it resolved that we, the ns.of the Th fth Division, call by this ution ‘the people's attention to LaFollette’s war record and to the fact that only six years ago Robert LaFollette of Wisconsin was consid ered an-enemy to his country, a demagogue, a disorganizer when organization was paramount, a trickster and deceiver, who attempted to lead our foreign-born away from the flag, and that for political purposes. And that he was then con- sidered unfit to be a United States senator, and we furthermore desire to call their attention to the fact that if he should be elected president he would, judging from. his record, be a foe to our army and navy—his vietory would be an- nouncement to the world that the United States wrong in the World War, and we had re d our position, and that we had now joined s and hearts with the Reds of Russia, the id kaisers of Hurope and the enen » and England.” Fire Prevention Fire prevention is not a science; it is sense. There is no mystery about it; no difficult rules or_ restrictions. j If there are no fires, there are no fires—that is all there is to it. are ghittons and need food. If the food en away the fires starve. debris, junk, cobwebs, dust, old papers, . oily waste, ete. are all in the bill of fare for the Demon. hand kings Fran If the tuken from the menu there is but a bl left. tighty-five per cent of all fires. (and this is a yery conservative estimate) can be prevented by climinating the unnecessary fire causes. Then why not remoye them? No one, unless he be an arsonist, wants a fire; and mate burned is gone forever. If eighty-five per cent or more of all fires can be preyented, why not prevent them and save over 3500,000,000 per annum? Slovenliness breeds carelessness, and careless- ness breeds fire. Why then be slovenly? Carelessness is the most costly habit we have ;and there is no sense or reason for it. As a result, hundreds of precious lives and millions in property are lost, and the cure for these awful ills lies in preventing fires. Think it over! An Apple a Day We can see no good reason why there should not be a renaissance of apple-eating in public, frankly and without embarrassment. The apple is a fruit well adapted to the requirements of the pedestrian, and may be consumed on any crowded street without inconvenience to the consumer or peril-to his fellow creatures. This iy obviously not true of the orange, and, alas, it most emphatically ig not true of the banana. For the life of us we cannot see any indelicacy in yielding to an apple fn public—that is to say, on the streets. The’ eating thereof could not possibly offend the most captious, ard would re- sult in the stimulation ‘of a gréeat’industry if it became the common practice. We can well imagine that many citizens who mix their morning ozone with cigar and ‘cigarette smoke, would feel altogether more .capablé and energetic if they, munched an apple as they proceeded to the office. "7. be ’ A Self Starter One of the greatest improvements of the auto- mobile is the self-starter, now found on all but the cheapest kinds of cars, which need to be eranked by hand. This device suggests the reflection that a Ungrateful. Grumblers The editor of Forbes Magazine has just returned from Europe, and elis, in his publication of the.com- plaints made by Europeans, espe- clally by Britons, concerning the alleged selfishness and gross “ma- terialism"” of the United States, It is an old ste having no real basis in fact, with which we are’often re- galed by Americans who have lst- ened to the outery of a Europe which, judged by its record rather than its professions, has developed a nationalism much more deeply rooted in commercialism and in sel- fishness than is or evér has been the nationalism of the United States. Mr. Fort 8: “You may have seen cartoons de- “cting the attitude of the losers in . poker game toward one big win- their defeat. necessary to them in preventing We are told that the recognition of the binding force of such obligations of honor represents the Shylock spirit! pended hundreds of millions of dol- Jars for the relief of human suffer- ing in Europe since the World War. This is represented by the type of European who pours his woes into the ears of some sympathetic Amer- icans as.only an effort to use money to buy good will abroad. If such an-effort as this nation has made to help Europe in the past seyen years means’ nothing to Euro- peans but a manifestation of selfish- ness and greed, it is a hardy spirit which would attempt to gain by any future sacrifice the good-will of na- tions manifesting such a mean, sel- fish and thoroughly vicious ingrat!- very large proportion of the hwman family re- quire something of like nature, They lack initiative, voluntary effort; they need cranking, in the form of orders or direc- ‘tions, before doing anything worth while. The men and women who succeed best in life, “and get the most out of it, are of the self-starter They don’t wait to be told or advised what to undertake, but proceed of their’ own accord to do things. / The great inventors, such as Edison, are all of this sort. They are originators, not mere followers or imitators, ana they rank among the’chief benefactors of the world. So it is in business, literature. art, le various industries, and, in facet, all occupations. Sue- cexs in each is dependent chiefly upon original ity or initiative. So let every young man or young woman re solve to be a self-starter. tude. The repetition of such com- plaints in the United States does not Promote the cause of further partic!- pation by the United States in Euro- pean affairs. It only drives right thinking Americans to the conclu- sion that carrying altruism to such a market fulfills the scriptural meta- phor of casting pearls before swine. It is probably not true that rep- resentative Europeans generally share the view that the United States has failed in its duty to Eu- rope. Premiers McDonald and Her- riot express the belief that this na- tion has nobly and generously done her full share. It is sentiment of this sort which alone can induce the American people to make further sacrifices and undergo further risk in Europe's behalf. \ ‘We have ex- ee ‘Tribune wantads bring results. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1924. The World’s Telephones In number of telephcnes per 100 ‘of population, America’s leadership is. emphatically pronounced. Thero were, on Janui 1, 1 13.1 tele- phones for every 190, people in the United States, as c with 3.5 telephones for every 100 peopie in Germany, 2.3 in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, 1.3 in France and 0.3 in Italy. Although Japan had the best developed telephone system of any Asiatic country, she could boast but 0.9 telephones per 100 in- habftants, even prior to the earth- quake of September, 1923. “It is sig- nificant that these foreign countries have all entrusted the development of their telephone systems to gov- ernment ownership, whereas in the United States the telephone business has been energetically developed by private initiative. Telephone sys- tems operated by private enterprise now include 71 per cent of the world's total telephones; only 29 per cent being under government own- ership. Canada, with 10.4 telephones per 100 people, and Denmark with 8.3 approach nearest to this country in number of telephones per 100 in- habitants. ?

A visit to Europa brings home the unpleasant conviction that America is regarded as ~ having enierged from the world war with all the chips. And the losers do not take pains to conceal how they feel.” America, we are again told, stayed of the war until the allies had n bled white, and after the war “dodged” her “responsibilities,” and today is refusing to contribute her fair “share” toward the rehabilita- tion of Kurope. The United States {s the one great power in the world that could have voided going into the war and did not. The other powers, as the regult of obligations assumed in alliances, und from reasons of vital national elf interest, had no choice in the matter. They were fighting to avoid mination, with the enemy at gates. An ocean intervened be- n the United States and ;the European struggle, with the causes of which, as President Wilson said, we had nothing to do. America went into the war when by blinking lier obligations she could haye stay- vith all that this implied ersonal safety and fi- = to Americans, but im- mense profit because of the fact that the rest of the world was en- gaged in destroying itself. We went into thé war, spent bil- . lions, transported an army, of two milllon men across the seas, in be- half of announced ideals and prin- elples which were utterly repudi- ed by the allies at the peace con- ference. A distribution of the as- sets of the Gefeated foe took place. The Unfted States asked for none of them. Shipping, territory and mar- ets were parceled out. America, re- fused to accept anything in com- pensation for the immense military ahd financtal effort this country had made. Then complaint was made, because, asking for none of the as- eets that came through victory, we did not care to take the liabilities involved in acceptance of the Ver- sailles treaty and a league covenant which menaced, the rights, interests and {deals of this nation: No consideration seems to be giv- en by these ungrateful grumblers against America to the fact that but for the intervention of this country in the war, the allies would at best have had to suffer greater injury and loss than they sustained, with the war ending as a stallmate which would have yielded not a dollar in indemnity and no territorial acquisi- tions by England, France and the other powers made victorious through the help of the United States. As it is, England has ac- quired territory equal In extent to ‘ the acreage of continental United States. France has had immense terr! fal acquisitions. The ship- ping of the one great power most dreaded as a commercial competitor before the World war by both Eng- land and France, has been reduced to impoteney. And yet. in return for the service y this country, we con hear these malignant com- plaints about “hoggishness,” about our lack of “idealism’’ and willing- ness to “serve humanity,” as if these critics represented nations which had no thought in mind but to contribute to the peace and se- curity of thelr neighbors. The hy- pocrisy of all this arouses in any American who contemplates. the whole story no reaction mure agree- able than nausea.
