Let us hope that Byron Huie has had it borne in upon his consciousness by this time, that it profiteth a man nothing to circulate, with malic ious intent, contemptible and odious lies. Prepos published from a public platform terous lie r within the hearing of life long friends of the in- tended victim, Hon. Eugene J. Sullivan, who know better and know the truth and fact. No wonder the people of the state rose up and showed their resentment. No wonder the people at Ba), Vheridan and other points held indig- nation meetings and condemned Huie for the miserable character assassin he has shown him- self to be. ° Is it surprising that clean and honorable mem- bers of the party that harbors Huie, and sends him abroad to do this dastardly and unclean work, are repudiating him and calling upon the honorable and decent members of the Democratic party to save it from the hands of leaders who are bringing shame and disgrace upon it as well as the righteous condemnation of the honest members of the party and the people of the state generally Is it any surprise to the people of the state to learn that Governor Lucas, who despises a low born double crossing sneak and liar,:as the devil despises holy water, has declared that Byron Huie shall be promptly removed from all place of power, influence and emolument, under the administration conducted by him? No. It is exactly what all decent citizens would .expect from the governor. : And it is precisely the action the people would P- expect from honorable members of the party which Huie has disgraced. It leads to the hope for a better, cleaner and more wholesome order of political campaign in Wyoming. Now let this noisome skunk return to the nest in oblivion from which he came, and then let all other upstarts in politics and bearers of false witness take heed of his fate. ; Ignore the Amendments We are informed that the Democratic candi date for governor, Mrs. Ross, will pursue and attempt to enforce such policies as her late husband championed in his lifetime, as the governor of the state. One of the late governor's pet projects was a severance tax, which in ef- fect is double taxation upon the production of all oil companies, coal mining corporations and producers of minerals generally. At the last ses- sion of the state legislature a bill passed to sub- mit to the voters at the election next Tuesday a constitutional amendment known as “Amend- ment No, One.” Mrs. Ross in the present campaign is looked upon as the advocate of this amendment. It is a widely unpopular proposal, not alone with those directly affected, but with those who are governed by a spirit of fairness and have a care for the future prosperity of the state and a pride in schools and educational. institutions. The oil indust should not be penalized through any fe and unfair taxation notions. Tt is building the state on a sure and permanent foundation and already bears more than its prop- er share of tax burdens. It is the one great industry that has drawn the entire world’s attention to Wyoming; and the direct as well as the indirect means of bringing business, wealth and people to the several com- munities of the state, The industry furnishes employment to. more than eleven thousand persons who for the year 19: were paid $16, 00 in wages. The indus- iry at the present time is paying 52.9 per cent of the tax money collected in the state for all state, county, municipal, educational and high- way purposes. That is more than its fair share. There is such a thing as taxing an industry to death, but. we do not believe the electors of Wyo- ming hold any such attitude toward the chief industry of the state. Rather de we believe that they me to encourage the further development of oil and all other minerals by voting “no” upon the proposed seve nee tax amendment. Or do the other thing, ignore the constitutional proposals and Jet them die for lack of postive votes in their favor. Wa ge 5 u rchas ing Powe r The statisticians of the itish ministry of labor, with a view to making a concrete com parison of the wages paid in London and in other large manufacturing cities of the world, recently took the quantities of bread, or flour, or eggs, or butter, and so on, pur sable with the wages of a Londan craftsman for 48 hours work, and called t 100 as an index basis. The index num- bers w then weighted by making allowance for the relative simpertance of each article of food, in accordance with the proportions com. monly used in workers’ families in Grént Brit ain. The report of this proceeding says: “For seventeen different classes of workers the index number of real wages, or purchasing power in terms of food were: London, England l Ss da ul 100 217 180 | 103 | A Slery of the men who manned our ships of war, "| through legislation and mail subsidies while oth- Brussels, Belgium ive.

This was-due to necessity, for our commerce wag: earried al- most exclusively on the sea. Our trade was with | Europe, chiefly, but our sailors guided their ships to the West Indies, the Hast Indies, and “Far Cathay.” The winning of the Revolution was due in no small degree to the skill and bray- The Fathers and the Courts “Hon.

Leadership in construction of the fastest sailing ships was long enjoyed by American builders, and American ships knew no superior in effi- ciency of operation. $ Various causes led to the loss of this prestig: among them the withdrawal of government aid “ a * ropos er nations increased such aid, the development of 4 white Mies Biatkwen pos steel steamships in the construction of which | was to associate the opinion of Great. Britain took the lead, and the Civil War, which gave opportunity for the, destruction of much of our foreign trade. Since “1845; down to the World War, American merebant ‘shipp! had been on the steady decline, and at the ou’ break of the war had become practically elimi- nated except for coastwise trade. As a result in this decline in shipping we lost our population of seafaring men. Not only did we lose men who were trained in management of ships, but we lostethe men who.were “sea- minded.” Our people thought of railroading and farming and manufacturing, but not of shipping. As a man thinketh, so is he. America ceased to produce seamen, The war ‘emergency forced the construction of a large fleet, much of which was unsuited to the keen competition of peacé time commerce and all of which cost far more than it could possibly be worth in the transportation of commerce at peace time rates. But the war gave us a mer- chant fleet. Obstructive tactics in congress pre- vented the enactment of legislation that would permit the transfer of these ships to private ownership on terms that would insure their con- tinuous operation under the American flag and on routes essential to the building up of our foreign commerce, so the government, through the agency of the shipping board, has continued the Supreme Court with the prest- dential veto, on the passage of acts of Congress; and that this propost- on was voted down in the conven- tion not only because it woul ‘mix up the courts with the executive Power, thereby destroying the or- ganization of the national powers into three distinct branches—legis- lative, executive and judicial—but also for the plain reason that the courts would and should have the Power to declare acts of Congress null and vold if they violated the terms of the Constitution. Both the advocates and the opponents of the Proposition to associate the judiciary with the executive in the direct and original veto admitted the existence of the courts’ power of review, and all were apparently well satisfied with it. “The expresions in the constitu- tonal convention are entirely plain. Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts, said to the convention that the ju- diciary “will have sufficient check against encroachments by tholr ex- Position of the laws, which involved & power of deciding on their constu- tonality.” In some states, he said, the judges had set aside the laws as being. against the Constitution, and the operation of the most efficient of the ships, | added, “This was done, too. with though at some small loss. - generai approbation.” Rufus King This operation by the government has not been | also of Massachusetts, nailed the through a preferred policy but as the only thing to do unless we are willing to abandon a mer- chant marine entirely. ither President Hard- ing nor President Coolidge would subscribe to the ideas of those who want the United States to give up ocean shipping. Not only as a source of national income in time of peace and as a means of fostering our foreign trade, but also as a source of defense in time of war, the Re- publican administration has insisted that the government shall continue to keep in service as many of the "better ships as possible. By this means we have gradually trained a considerable number of men in the operation ef ships and have laid the foundation for a corps of seafaring men—men who will take to the sea as a duck takes to water. This has been done at a loss and must continue at a loss unless we are willing to abandon merchant shipping and con- sent to pay tribute to other and mote enterpris- ing nations which foster a merchant marine. In the minds of most Americans, the proposal to abandon our place onthe sea is unthinkable. Yet, the pity is, there seems to be no plan upon which a majority of congress can agree, by which these ships can be transferred to private ownership and operation with assurance that they will continue as agencies for the promotion of the foreign trade interests of the United States. . Prosperity Affects Everybody The president of a well-known manufacturing company prefacing his plea’ for the election of Coolidge, said: “I don't want to get mixed up in polities, but I am perfectly willing to get mixed up in pros- perity and in my opinion nothing can stop pros- perity in the United States except pol- itics in Washington.” Then referring to the ad- vice of certain college professors and others, to try out an experiment by making a change in the government, he remarked: “College professors and sociologists, psychol- ogists and other theorists are not Mapenaane for their bread and butter on the business success of this country.” s 4 A little though will suggest the inaccuracy of that assertion. College professors, and the like, depend upon salaries paid them by educational institutions, Those institutions are kept going by gifts and endowments. When business is g philanthropy expands. When business is bad the mitk of human kindness merely trickles, Then the educational institutions begin®to retrench and the professors feel the pinch. Prosperit: penediss everybody. Depression helps the radi- eals only, whole court veto proposition when he sald: “The judicial ought not to join in the negative of a law, he cause the judges will have the ex- pounding of these laws when thev come before them; and they will no doubt stop the operation of such as shall appear repugnant to the Constitution.” James Wilson, of Pennsylvania, took the opposite view regarding the desirability of the Proposition from that of Gerry and King, but he also assumed that the conrts had the power to overturn acts of Congress if they went against the Constitution. Luther Martin, one of the greatest of constitutional lawyers of the time, oppesed the veto proposition because it would give the courts a double negative. George Mason, of Virginia, favored the proposition because he wished the. judges to have precicely ‘that double power. In fact, the whole Plan to associate the judges with the veto was one based on distrust of Congress. Not a voice was raised in the convention against the idea that the courts should have the full power to declare unconstitutional acts of congress to be null and oid. “This power of review inheres, as all know, in the courts under the Constitution. Without it the Con- #titution would be a scrap of paper only. The assumption that the constitutional convention voted down such a power is an example of the shallowness of observation and judgement that is being em- ployed in the current crusade against the powers of the courts," ———> —_—_ Robertson’s Appeal Hon:.C. F. Robertson, Worlahd's Most versatile citizen, in addition to Practicing law, promoting the state corn show and performing numerous services for public and private good, found time to assist the local Repub- lican committee in campaign work, Here is his final appeal to the vot- ers, published in the Worland Grit. = fs good in any county in Wyom- ng. “As the campaign draws near its close and a fairly accurate forecast can be made of the results Novem- ber 4th, there is every indication at this writing that Calvin Coolidge will be” elected president by the largest popular vote ever given to any candidate for that office. He holds the confidence of the people of tho nation to a degree, sel- dom, if ever before attained, by any man while living, in the history of our Republic. His popularity and hpld upon the minds en hearts of the whole people is the marvel of the politician and disconcerting to the opposition; they cannot pierce his armor, His humble origin, rugged honesty and sincerity of purpose all, appeal alike to the Imagination and sentl- ment of the masses and carries them with him by an irresitible force. A most remarkable man; he makes no short cuts to popularity, neither does he appeal to the prejudices nor passions of the people. He moves forward, each day, on the even tenor of his way, faithful to the unexpect- ed and unsought trust imposed upon him; a man of destiny; guided by an ‘unexplainable power, a mighty force for all that fs best in American life today. Ours is a government by political parties and to elect him president without electing a working majority in the congress and senate which would enable him to carry into ef fect the definite policies he has out- ned for the welfare of the whole country, would be a disdster, and nullify all his superb leadership means in the moral and national up- ft of our nation during the soy Stir "Em Out In) years past stay-at-home voters through neg- ligence, have decided elections. If a full vote is cast Calvin Coolidge will be elected by an over- whelming majority. In 1920 the total vote for all presidential candidates was 26,713,882, the larg- est vote ever cast, but there were 25,705,063 per. sons who did not go to the polls. For every 100 votes cast for president in 1920 there were 96 stay-at-homes, What He Picked LaFollette was tried and found wanting as a picker of men. His idea of a potential president of the United States is Wheeler. Nothing in his personal record or personal equipment qualifies him to be thought of for the office of Washing- ton, Lincoln and Roosevelt. It is suspected that he was not chosen with any thought of his fit- ness for the offire, bot rather as an effirient in- strument in the process of discrediting other people. One Democrat has figured out that we had prosperity just as much of the time under Demo- cratic administrations as under Republican. But he neglected to remark that the only prosperity we had under the Wilson administration was that due to the war, and we didn’t have any at all under the Cleveland administration.
