These banks were unique and enjoyed a wide reputation on this account. The Bank of Commerce is the result of thirty-two years of the banking wisdom of B. I’, Perkins and tes and is at present and has for years the la every re spect, state bank in Wyoming é This transaction reduces the number of financial insti- tutions in Sheridan to one state and two national banks, and makes for better business. The home the Bank of Commerce will be the magnifi cent new Whitney Trust buildin been in To Punish the North There are stories of ,a movement recently launched in Democratic reles to cut down representation in certain northern states in future Democratic national conventions. The proposal is to increase proportionately the yoting strength in the convention of states which r ly go Democratic and to reduce it in the states which are g Republican. Those in favor of the move argue that many northern states have the balance of power in Democratic conventions although they seldom go Democratic and that they therefore should not be permitted to dictate the policies and candidates of the Democratic party. The proponents of the if ever Scheme in support of their theory cite the action of the Re publican national committee in cutting down representation of the southern states in Republican conventions. Democrats opposed to the scheme charge that it is being put forward by the McAdoo supporters. They say that the McAdoo men realize that their strength is in the south and southwest, while the north and east is opposed to him, and that the plan therefore is to give the delegates to the states which will vote for McAdoo in 1928 and against any candidate who is either wet or conservative. Democratic senators are said to be in the main opposed to the proposition although W. J. Bryan is reported to fayor it. If the plan is put forward seriously it will doubtless be met with great opposition among Democratic leaders in the north and east War Not a Crime That distinguished American statesman, David J Hill, talks sense when he says: “Infecting young Ameri with the dry rot of the dogma that ‘war is a crime, is wrong. Such a slogan is perhaps natural and pardonable if taken as an ‘outery of the human heart, and as an expression of the determination that war must be restrained, and if possible abolished. The War of Independence, the War for the Union, and the Great War for the rescue of civilization were not crimes, Let it rather be said that they were consecrations.” To Determine Policy establish some definite, permanent and practicable policy applicable to the merchant marine is the proposal con- templated in a conference to be called to study four broad aspects Of the question: The relation of the merchant marine to fore trade and national defense, government adminis- trative lations to the shipping industry, government aid to shipping and the disposal of government owned vessels, The movement i response to a request of representatives of the shipping al, exporting and financial interests of \ Social Factor le step that wo h ve further tha exe ig the power 1D , ry of the department I F Ar 4 united in its songs of home, comm t ind country, knit by that emotion which music alone tir ading the world to greater heights of peac prosperity and happines r in New York the most unsafe place to live o something about capturing ng police officers smart people will be killed off irde Mu gr the else the 1 safety, The mur en years ¢ 1924, there were rderer In 1 records of the chief medical xa mpared with 240 murders eporte e year 1918 in 300 of the murders of the last ci (1 six murders a week are belng i l f l rimes.

Child was American Am- bassador to Italy from 1921 to 1924. “The recent difficulties of the French and | German govean- ments to keep ministries in rt power long | enough to ac- complish any results Haye now been capped by inabilities to even form ministries. Under the continental system of | democracy particularly since a so- called peace which attempted to! stamp the name ‘democracy’ on peoples who were neither enthu- siastic for the brand nor practiced in the application of democracy, the failure of sume parlamentary gov- |ernments to govern at all, sticks out | as urope’s sore thumb. | “There were more than half a | hundred parties in the last German | elections. If any result of any kind was made plain {t was that the people of G wanted a I{beral nd republican rather than a saber: rattling government. Such was the clear expression of the majority. But the complexities of a many-party system, its Jealousies, its scrambling for power, the intrigue of petty minorities, prevented the forming of ® government which would express the declared will of the people. “In our own two-party system there will always be clamorous minorities who say that our gov- ernment is not responsive. Look |back on the last 10 yeara and ask yourself what reforms which have proved worthy have not been put into effect. We get our way in America under the two-party sys tem, and that way in the end is the will of the majority. “But, in Europe, where many minorities are organized into par- ties, not only does the minority fail but the majority— worthy citizenry— falls also to get its way or to have consistent administration, or even to have a government which will carry on decently. “Sometimes the organized min- orities obtaln something. Who pays for what they get? The majority pays. Then another organized minority blackmails the government and perhaps gets something. The platter 4s passed until there is nothing left on it and then govern: ment breaks down. The majority pays and pays and pays all the way ong. “In all democracies of the world the organized minority is the men- ace of democracy. The orgenized rainority always presents its claim r the banner of goodness, benevolence, Kindness and who pays through the nose for all of it. No one has yet devised a government where it ts possible to take out more than 4s put in.” | The Great Insanity General Manager Willlam E.
