At the election just past there were in the United States ‘approximately 60,000,000 cligible voters, while the total vote cast was less than 30,000,000, This showing does not equal the presidential vote of 00,000 eligibles 1d 27,0000,000 votes cast. The country has been running along for many years with less than fifty per cent of the quali- ied voters exercising the franchise, and in many ions impo icials, like governors and ed States senators have secured their places ough the support of from fifteen to thirty per cent of those entitled to vote. All the stirring up given the people during impaign just closed did nothing more than oduce w less percentage of the legal vote than Was cast in 1920, The yote urgers must remain on the job if a better situation is to be brought about. Our Kid County All honor to the new Wyoming county of Sub- Jette which came through the recent general elee- tion with tremendous Republican majorities for national, state and legislative candidates. Out of a total vole of 766 this kid county de- livered to Coolidge and Dawes 530 votes and to Davis an md to LaFollette and Wheeler ¢ for the Republican can- didates of x Senator Warren received a plurality of 401 over his opponents Rose and Kindler. Representative V awarded a plur- ality of 390 over W and Hastings op- posed to him, And last but not least of the favored Republi- ean candidates Eugene Sullivan received a ma- jurity of 240 over Mrs. Ross in the guberna- torial contest. first senator and and first representative elected in the county, P. W, Jenkins and Osear Beck, Republicans, respectively, were given comfortable majo S. unblette county stood as firm in the Repub ise Natrona county and together ame the bulwark ofthe party in its test contest. Sublette has made an excellent beginning, she more than welcome at the Republican fire. side. as A True Citizen Among the things you admire is the blind man who had his dog lead him over hills and country roads a distance of eighteen miles in order*that he might vote for Calvin Coolidge. He is the type of patriot the country can rely upon in any cir- cumstance, He will protect the constitution of his country and keep the home fires burning: The Jack of the sense of sight, does not deter that man from performing his duty. His is not only the spirit of * but of the highest and sound. est spirit of the republic of all the intervening years. He does his duty. He asks no help in per- forming it. He would spurn the notion that he was unable, although blind, to journey ih his own way to the polling place, his faithful guard- ian at his side, On November 4, there was no prouder Ameri- can citizen ever set out upon a mission, there was no prouder vote cast into any ballot box in this great free nation, there was no prouder citi- ven ever to trudge a weary distance back to his home, than this same blind man. No exalted and honored person in this nation, or in any nation, even set a more sublime ex- ample in citizenship, to his more fortunate and better circumstanced neighbors, than this humble blind voter, Who by the grace of the American constitution stands upon an equality in rights and privileges with them, but who trudges long miles to the voting place, whereas they will not even take the time to drive a few city squares in ® Juxurious limousine. All honor to the humble, sightless American citizen and away with his slacker and traitorous neighbor. Stop "Em at the Start Some of the o: nizations of big business are announcing campaigns against radicalism. Ex- perience would seem to suggest that the most effective procedure they could undertake would he giving the public a square deal and educating it to ree ze a square deal, something it can- not be expected to do without information People expect busi s to make a profit ‘but become restive uz the suspicion it is “hog ging.” Once this belief becomes a conviction the situation is all shaped f trouble, in course of which business spends effort and money to coun; teract, no small amount of both. Radi¢alism may be likened to a weed, yet lack of cultivation and proper attention to the field. For many generations those who permit the weeds to “get the start” are commonly re- garded as poor farmers, But no one has_yet dis- covered and applied a dependable method for eliminating all weed seeds. An Ungrateful South Although the south has been one of the chief beueficiaries of the protective tariff policy, the returns of the recent election show that that sec tion ig still unwilling to support the political party that maintains the protective tariff. Be- cause of that attitude it is interesting to re view the cotton trade record. From 1856 to 1861 Great Britain took over half of our raw cotton production—53.45 per cent in fact; France took 12.78 per cent; North Europe, which included Germany, took 6.89 per cent; oth- er ports 5 per cent. The total sold abroad amount- ed to over 78 per cent of our production, while at home we consumed less than 22 per cent. This was time when the south was a very power- ful factor in congress and the southern repre- atives beliefed with Senator Hayne of South ‘arolina, that it wag better to sell our raw cot- ton abroad and buy from Great Britain the goods made from it. According to the United States statistical abstract for 1922, our exports of raw totaled something over ‘n billion pounds 5, and 1,768,000,000 in 1861. Then the Civil War broke out, southern cotton was blockaded, and in 1865 but 8,894,000 pounds was exported. Following the Civil War a rigid policy of protection to the cotton textile fndustry wa augurated and continued, with t: down to 1913, when the Democrat tariff law was passed. That law was in real effect less than one year, when the European war began and reduced competition far below that ever exist- ing under the protective policy. Following the war competition from abroad in cotton textiles began to grow rapidly until it reached $137,000,- 000 in value in 1920, But a balance was put on it by the passage of the Republican law of 1922, though large opportunity is still afforded foreign textiles in this market and is Being taken ad- vantage of. From 1905 Britain took 22 per cent of our raw cotton production; France 7.46 per cent; North Europe 19.14 per cent; and the total sent abroad was 59.75 per cent, leaving a little over 40 per cent to be consumed at home. From 1910 to 1915, the period ted by the year of the Democratic Jaw, the amount taken by Great Britain showed a slight percentage of increase, as did that sent out to the rest of the world. Our own consump- tion fell below 40 per cent. 24, two years under protection, s s fell to 13.88 per cent of our total production; and our world exports were 16.65 per cent. We consumed in our own factor- ies ut of all the cotton din this country, a remarkable evidence of a growing in- dustry, and one which has been expanding far more rapi in the south than in the north, not- withstanding southern support of free trade with one hand and the acceptance of the benefits of protection with the other, In 1860 this country counted 5,236,000 spindles, of which only 324,000 were in the cotton growing States. In 1922 we counted 708,000 of which nearly 16,000,000 were in those states. In 1923 there were about 37,600,000 spindles in the land, and the south was nhead of the north in the count, The south is now both producer and manu facturer of cotton, but its attitude toward the protective policy is provincial. It will take all it can get, but it will not help itself in gettivg any In 1924 the south voted for a “competitive” tar- iff law. o 1910, under protection, Great fe Pause and Contemplate BY PRANK B, TAYLOR In these days when we read of the vast sums that are so casually mentioned in the newspap- ers and in the streets in the course of business, the average man or woman is liable to think within himself, “I am rather-small, what good is my life?” Last year the Community Chest asked for $54,- 000 to help suffering humanity here in Casper, we gave $60,000 and when the news of this great sum me out, there were some who wondered their five dollar contribution amounted to in the great amount of the total. A woman who had given one dollar remarked that in view of the great sums given. by others. she might as well have saved her small contribution. The number of the small contributors was lost sight of.in the total by these; were it not for the small contributor, the Chest would have fallen down woefully, almost. two-thirds of the Chest Fund came from the relatively small con- tributors and at that there were a large num- ber who did not feel able to contribute. The bur- den of this great charitable work was borne upon. the shoulders of some 3,000 people of Casper out of a population of 30,000. Practically one-tenth of the people showed they cared. If every person in Casper now would but give $1.50 to the Chest in the coming drive, we would reach the total asked for this year. From all ap- pearances it would seem that the societies helped by the drive will not require the amounts needed last year and as a result the total has been re- duced to $45,000, However it is too much to ex- pect that every person in Casper will respond and those patriotic citizens who have their city’s welfare near ‘their hearts will again come for- ward to bear their brother's burden that he shirked. We still have those in the the world who answer like Cain, “Am I may brothers’ keeper?” There is however, a large body of citizens who did not give last year because of some minor cir- cumstance, some were out of town at the time of the drive, some were working and did not mect the drive solicitors, and from one cause or an- other they failed to give their share although they were willing and even anxious to help in the cause, In the coming drive let us all try hard to give something, to see to it that we each make our contribution even though it may be small. ihe of what you have, it may be better than you think. Above all, don’t pay attention to those who sneer and seek to belittle the Casper Community Chest Fund. There are unfortunately a few sor- did or radical minds that would be glad to see the Chest fail and ‘in fact the whole system of our lives made as sordid as their own. Thank goodness they are so few that the ends they seck can hardly be attained unless we as a city and country go sound asleep at our public duty. The answer to these is at every person's hand here in Casper, the circular mailed to every Casper home and business by the Chest recently gives in detail every cent received and expended up to November first. Ask these liars who whisper that certain rich men are profiting through the Chest to prove their claims and see how nickly they subside and crawfish to “I heard” and “Well, somebody said.” In that circular is a there must be something in the soil upon which it may feed if it is to thrive and its growth shows clear statement that every child can. read on the receipts and expenditures of every agency receiy- de Casper. Daily Cridune ing money through the Community, Chest. Every item can be easily checked and proven to the last penny. It's everybody’s job, this Community Chest, if you shirk your part of the load because it is easy to get out of doing your part and refuse to become your brother’s keeper, your estimation of your own self is bound to go down, even though you may not notice it at the time, and you will pay héavily in the end. During the war we gave till it hurt, but now the needs diminish and with the Chest agencies the cost is being reduced to a minimum; as a busi- ness proposition alone the Chest is an asset to Casper that is well worth while, without the Community Chest we would be having tag days and drives without end, some for purposes Which on the face might appear worthy yet on cool in- vestigation may be found needless. It is the aim of the Chest to eliminate these useless charities and the board of directors of the Chest scrut- inize every application for membership with ex- treme care to see that only worthy ones are ad- mitted. Out of more than fifty organizations that would like to benefit through the Com- pa Chest, only seven are considered worth while. Country-wide _ Confidence “Today,” remarks the Boston Transcript, “the flood of buying or- ders which carried the New York stock market into a “2,000,000-share day” on Friday and to a new high record for all time in the short ses- sion on Saturday, has continued al- most without abatement.» Such @ wave as this, it cannot be too clear- ly remarked, is not sectional. It could not be. The orders have come from all regions of the United States without exception. In every city and town, in every village and hamlet between the two oceans there has been born since last Tuesday a new confidence, a new sense ‘of certainty which is well-nigh without parallel in the nation’s history. “So far as the situation concerns only the stock market, the very volume and force“of the movement will, of course, give experienced ob- servers some Cause to doubt the per- mainence of the present wave, and to look for some signs of reaction. It would appear impossible, in the na- ture of the case, that a movement of such extreme magnitude can re- main so extreme, But this does not diminish the essential significance of the week's developments as a forecast of greater volume to come in that much more inclusive and much more important market—the market of this nation’s business and industry, the market of its produc- tion, exchange and consumption of sound and solid commodities. The confidence born of the election has behind it net only the assurance of great and wise government in Wash- ington, but also a long sequence of concrete indications that the busi- ness of the country has been. heading throughout the autumn toward not- able improvement, even to abound- ing prosperity. ostly Alibis The day after elecetion the funny man of the Bridgeton, New Jersey, Evening News pulled this one: “The Democratic National Com- mittee is understood to have held a stewed crow dinner last evening at the organization's club house on Salt River. Alibi Ike, chairman of the Grievance Committee, was the principal orator and five mifcro- phones carried his touching. words into the homes of Democrats gen- erally, “Gentlemen | of the Democracy, Mr. Ike said, “we have been un- done. We are victims of ‘Coolidge Luck.’ ‘Che Washington American League team won the league pon- nant and the world’s championship and the President attended the games ‘and got so much publicity that the election was turned around on its axis. Then, too, our dear party ‘blundere?’ terribly. Mr. Davis selected that absolutely use- less squirrel ‘Charlie’ Bryan for his running mate and that cost us 3,658,902 votes. Chief Cook Walsh let the ‘teapot’ boll over and that made such a smell! that most of the guests left the dining room of what we thought was our most attractive hotel. “La. Follette double-crossed us. He promised to take a lot of votes from the Republicans for our benefit, and instead he took them from our party. He was a great big bluff and didn’t carry out his promise to throw the election into Congress. I suggest that we cancel his associate member: ship in our party and ask him to return his door key. “And whoever selected ‘this bar- ber, ‘Clem’ Shaver, sould be taken off the nomination committee for life. He hasn't found out yet phat it was all about. | He lost West Vir- ginfa and Bryan lost Nebraska and. instead of having any mew States we Jost a couple of old ones. “Gentlemen, I suggest that four years from now we hold our national convention on Chincoteague Island and that we all talk a little lower. Somebody overheard what we said at Madison Square Garden, about the Klan, the League of Nations, about McAdoo and Smith and they told on us. That cost us just 2,- 805,743 votes that I know of. And this guy McAdoo, who started all the fuss, next went to Europe and then got sick and he never even mended the stuff he broke, “I regret the necessity of calling your attention to these little eccen- tricities among our membership but somebody has to explain why we were so unmercifully licked and why Mr. Davis polled 1,000,000 less than Cox did four years ago, despite the greatly increased vote. The rest of my committec on grievances are still out canvassing the com- plaints and they will make a full re- port at the next meeting which will be on April 1, 1925, at Louisville Kentucky, I thank you." Playing With Fire If the preesnt French government has learned anything by the fate of the pro-Russian party in Great Britain it is that the soviets are not a safe class to hitch up with in this political day and generation. Yet, strange to say, Herriot is going right ahead with his plans for the Frenco-Russian canference and, out- wardly at least, is as much as ever in favor of a friendly policy toward the Bolsheviks. He thus disregards © strong undercurrent of French opinion that the English people were right when they swung over to con- servatism. If, as the result of Rus- sian intrigue, this feeling should grow Herriot. will find hinrself in a situation similar to that of Mac- Donald, whose policy in regard to the soviets has been toroughly re- pudiated. It is never very pleasent for a Still, for .safety’s sake, it. would ‘have been far better to have selected ‘Moscow as the meeting place, for to Prevent a Bolshevist from spreading his propaganda is as hard as putting out a fire with kerosene. The situation finds its corollary tn a certain phase of drug addiction. Just why one poor, miserable vic- tim of heroin insists upon enticing others into his abominable, soul- wrecking habit is inconceivable, yet he does so. The bad habit of Bol- shevism must not be permitted to spread itself in this way, France is playing with fire. pee inca t Mal ty Echoes of the Fray ‘The campaign just ended proves how futile it is for candidates to try to gain support by vilifying their opponents. Although the 1924 .campaign did not aproach those old days in calumny and vul garity, {t was much worse than it should have been. Some of the candidates for President and Vice President did not scruple to attri- bute dishonesty to their rivals, al- though the whole country knew that all presidential candidates were per- sonally honest. It is notable that those candidates who were most vicious in their calumnious state- ments have appeared as tail-enders in the voting.—Washington Post. This is no time for arrogance in victory. It fs a time when the forces back of the Third ticket movement should be studied. Some of the grievances back of radicalism have or had a basis in fact. It ought to be remembered in the hour of victory that La Folletteism came out of the farming northwest. There was an eleventh hour betterment in the farm situation. The effects of it are written large in the returns from the corn belt and the great plains. Whether that betterment is permanent remains to be soen. Radicalism was checked and smashed Tuesday but it can be eradicated only by removing its removable causes. — Philadelphia Public Ledger. The great wave of radicalism, bor- dering on anarchy in some countries that began its sweep over a dis- traught world in the aftermath of the World War, has definitely re- ceded so far as the English-speak- ing peoples are concerned. The tendency now is unmistakably to- Wards conservatism. — ‘Providence Journal. political leader to be in a position of having to placate those of his as- sociates with those ideas he has no particular, sympathy, or to reconcile the hotheads with the saner element, but that is where Herrlot finds him- self with respect to certain members of his cabinet.

Being personally acquaint- ed with Mrs. Pfeifer and knowing the hard time she has had in bring- ing her homstead to the position of a producing farm, I wish to aid her in getting the help she really needs. The beans, pumpkins and corn she has raised on her farm are as good as any raised in any country, as a large number of Casper people who have bought from her can testify. With .the aid of what sewing she can get, and the help that her daugh- ter. who is in very poor health, can give her, she is dependent upon her farm products for her living. We all know how much damage one jack rabbit can do in a garden, but in the district in which Mrs. Pfeifer lives, it is not one, but hun- dreds, they have become a menace, and any one who shall aid in kill- ing them off, shall not only receive the country a good deed. The rabbit drive planned by the Boy Scouts would have accomp! ‘i ed this, but the rain made this river impossible, it is not too late for er drives, in fact now is a very good time to have them, let’s all © work together and see what can be done to extinguish the surplus rabbits in this country.

WINTER. ——— Save the Children One of the most appalling state- ments appearing in recent public print is that from Chicago concern- ing children and automobile acci- dents. Judge Finnegan of that city, in his determination to give seven arrested speeders an object lesson, took them to an instiution for erip- pled children that they might a concrete illustration of their wor! of human wreckage. He told them that there are 30,000 crippled chil- dren in Illinois, most of them vic- tims of “speed bugs" in Chicago. A city councilman of Los Angeles stated the other day that, during the existénce of a former school-stop or- dinance not a single child had been injured, but within the few weeks follewing its modification to mollify complaining autoists seven or eight children had already been injured and he threatened to return to the old ordinance unless greater respect was paid to the present law. The life or limb of one child {s too great a price to pay for the criminal defiance of all the speeders combin- ed. Their inconsideration, to use a mild term, gives neither old nor young a chance for life on the streets. Better that the speeders go to jail than the children to the hos- pital or graveyard. It is gratifying to note that one city police justice has taken a step in the right direc- tion and is sending the speeders to jail instead of being satisfied to make a big showing of funds gather- ed by his court from the imposition of ineffectual fines.
