Register complaints ? A Live One Needed The Wyoming game and fish department has shown its ef: ficiency aud popularized itself on the opening day of the sea- son by its failure to have fishing licenses in the hands of proper officials and others for the accommodation of sports: mien who desired to apply for such document, = The alibi presented by this department is that the printed licenses had failed to arrive from Denver where they were being printed. They had not arrived up to the morning of the first day of the fishing season. The printing of blank licenses is a very ordinary job of work. We will venture that they could e been printed, bound and delivered on time by ninety per cent of the printing offices in the state, and many of the lurger offices could have delivered a superior job to that which the state will use, when the Denver printer finally delivers the good: When a state department of the importance of the game and fish department, is presided over by a person who more properly belongs in the olil ladies’ home, nothing much can be expected, but the yerhor ought to see to it, if she insists upon filling the public offices with Democrats, that sho at least gives us prompt and efficient ones, instead of dead ones, and those who spend Wyoming public money in other states, when better values can be obtained at home for-less. Some disappointed fisherman ought to apply a barrel stave to that portion of the fish and game commissioner's an atomy, which constantly occupies a swivel chair. That is to providing said disappointed fisherman can catch said por- tion of said anatomy in other posture than reposing upon the cushion in id swivel chair, Wyo needs a fish and game commissioner, but at the time it needs a live one. Preserve Character of the Court \ large majority of the federal district. courts. of the country ure clogged with prohibition violation cases to such extent, in fact, as to work detriment to the regular ciyil and criminal business of such courts. The unusual business arising from these’ offenses hus been dumped upon the federa¥ courts with no preparation for its care, and no enlargement of the fo: for handling it. Yederal courts, as at present organized, with large terri- tory and inadequate force for handling the regular business, almost without exception, find themselves swamped with liquor cases, iy an able and learned district judge wears his life out hear’ disgusting bootlegging cases, which would better be heard by a police judge, to the exclusion of other and more important business, The federal government failed to forsee the vast amount of court business that would come with federal prohibition, and therefore failed to supply any additional legal machinery for its disposal, which should have been done, As it is federal courts are burdened and with inadequate facilities. Tf these courts, which are of high class, are to be so largely held down to the adjudication éf liquor troubles, the govern ment should with all possible speed provide relief by creat ing additional courts for the hearing this class of cases and no others. Something will have to be done for the preservation of the character of federal district courts. same Let's Get the aitieres Upon a single day of the present week, six robberies oc- curred in the city of Casper, and no apprehension of the rob bers, and no trace of the offenders. It is a reflection upon somebody. Who We wonder how much longer the honest householders and business people of the city will be compelled to put up with such protection of their goods and chattels, in return for the tax money they expend for this purpose. The people are entitled to adequate protection of their pers¢ from harr and adequate protection of their 8 from thieves. Why is it not afforded? If we have not a suff c ice force for this purpose, let us have it at onve, I t nt force is not efficient, let us have one that is {t is unfaithfulness on the part of the city to ] people at the mercy of thieves who break in and car their belongin Let us take layoff,on the liquor offender and his pint flask and go r the 1, er game. When we have the sneak thief, there is still time to get the whiskey peddler. We appear to be overlooking the larger offender agaiust state laws for the minor offender against federal laws. “The Goods” Disappears Officers of the law, who in their enthusiasm, seized a quantity of wine and liquor wrongfully, from a citizen who had the right to possess it, now find themselves in a peculiar predicament, The court has ordered a return of the goods or its equivalent money, and the officers who invaded the home of the « d to his property are unable to produce either the liquor or the value of it. All of which makes an in terest tuation to be faced. f place, officers seizing the property of other regardless of the kind of property or its value, are required to keep it safely until a court of proper jurisdiction orders its disposal, It matters not whether it is liquor or other property Tt must be saf kept. To face a court with an excuse that the liquor no longer exists, that it has been disposed of by gift or sale, is no valid excuse for failure to deliver it in court, Chat officer, his bondsmen or the power t authorized the sel e is responsible to the citizen and the court is bound to enforce restitution. The officer should congratulate himself that the owner of the property is willing to accept.its value in money. Exposing the Exposers Former Attorney Daugherty will make the de fense he refused the senate committee in a book. Daugherty it is said has secured affidavits from the important witnesses who appeared before the committee repudiating their testi- mony and asserting they had been paid for it. The book will-be absolutely frank in the mention not only of the witnesses but also of the men who put up the money and will charge four United States senators with having hed the witnesses and in some cases having barguined with them over the price they were to get. General The Newspaper’s Function “Eyer. since the advent of “Yellow Journalism in the early sixties, there has been a strong undercurrent of sentiment on the part of the general public, and among the. Journalistic fraternity itself, for the formulation of avcode of ethics which would tend to maintain the highest {deals and ethical standards of the profession, us has been dorle in the older pro- fessions of law and medicine.” Thus speaks the Enid (Oklahoma) Demo- crat. “In recent months this feeling has been intensified in some quarters, by the prominence given to salacious and senational news stor- les in the public press, and there is a growing demand that sordid de- tails be curtailed or censored from news reports. It {s pointed out that mass psychology {s easily influenced by the elaborate writeups often fea- tured ss news, and that the press may. at times, be as great a force for eyil, as {t unquestionably more often is for good. An insatiable ap- petite for notoriety often leads weak- minded individuals to commit repre- hensible acts, which would, in all probability never have been com- mitted had there been widespread ad herence to a code of ethics\in the public. press. he main objection to such a code often comes from editors of publica- tions which feature sensational new They point to Dana's well-known “Dictum on News,” as justification for their attitude. Dana sald is a@ great disposition in sore quar- ters. to eay that. the newspapers ought to mit the amount of news they print; that certain kinds of news ought not to be published. I do not know how that fs. I am not prepared to maintain any abstrict proposition in that/line, but I have always felt that whatever the Divine Providence permitted to occur I was not too Proud to report. ‘The first thing which an editor must look for is news. If the newspaper has not the news, !t may have everything else yet it will be comparatively unsu cessful, and by news I mean eve thing that occurs, everything that is of human interest, and which 1s‘ of sufficient interest to interest and ab- sorb the attention of the public or of any considerable part of it.’ “Tr editors view with alarm any Suggestions for reform as an at- tuck upon the freedom of the press. They cal! to mind Milton's famous defense of liberty of the press, ad- dressed to the British parliasnent, at the very dawn of journalism: Where there is much desire to learn ‘there of necessity is much arguing, much writing, many opinions, of opinion tn good men is but knowledge in ‘the making.” “Daniel Webster. however, in 1832, emphasized the responsibility of the press to the public and declared: ‘In popular governments, a free press {s the most important of all agents and instruments. The conductors of the press in. popular governments occupy a place in the social and political system of highest consequence. They wear the character of public instruc tors." And Wendell Phillips, a gen- eration ago, emphasized the !mport- ance of newspapers. ‘It is momen- tous,’ he sald, ‘yee, a fearful truth, that millions have no Hterature, no | schools, almost no pulpit but the pregs. It is the parent, school, college pulpit, theater, example, counselor, all in one. Let me make the news- papers, and I care not who makes the religion or the laws.’ “The functions of the newspaper, with {ts primary purpose of publish- ing the news, with interpretation and discussion of vital issues, -has been recognized from its very incep- tion. ‘This recognized public charact- er of the newspaper in the dissem!- nation and interpretation of news, has given it a position of great_re- sponsibility, and power and with the quickening of the public conscience hascome a realization of the dangers of abuse of this power by the editors and a demand for the establishment of a code of professional ethics and standards of admission, together with regulation enforced by government legislation. “Then the era will dawn, as W. T. Stead has vistoned, when the editor will be the uncrowned king of an educated dem , the range of his power limited only by the extent of his knowledge, the quality rather than the quantity of his circulation, and the faculty and force which he can bripg to the work of the goyern- ment.” About Jack Knives Editor Tribune-g‘What becomes of all the milk bottles,” in yester- day's Tribune brings up the old mya- tery of wi becomes of all the pocket knives.

We swapped unsight unseen with “Old Man Ab- bey,” were swindled outrageously, contracted the trading habit and all sorts and condtiions followed. At 16 we acquired a four-bladed Wostern- holm that would split a hair, at 20 we owned @ pearl handled blade which was carried \in a buckskin sack and used only for manicuring, and at 25 a beardéd bard we were presented by the late Adolphus Busch, in recognition of services ta him and his, with a beautiful knife encased in a’burnt bone handle, con- taining a corkscrew attachment with his picture hidden cunningly in one end and that of a strange lady with no clothes on in the other. She was very beautiful, even if not particu lar. That went the way of all others. The seven ages of man are marked by the pocket knife he owns, loves for a time and loses. At fifty or more any old knife that will cut bait or open bottles will do, but even they won't stic!
