Register complaints before & o'clock, The Peace Pact Every proponent of world peaée in the United States doubtless breathed a deep it of thankfulness when the word came from Europe recently that a sec urity pact was about to be completed for England, France, Germany and Belgium, It s udvisable however, not to get too excited as yet about chances releguting the god of war to a permanent back seat so far as Lurepean affairs are concerned, In the first place, the negotiations are yet in a rather un- certain Jorm, aud many bridges have to be crossed before any t is finally adopted. From what we, in America learn, the proposed pact is an ingenious device whereby Great Britain, holding the balance of power, will jump all over France if She invades Germany and will jump all over Germany if she invades ium or.

If Great Britain assumes the role of umpire, and for herself who is the aggressor, she will uoubtless make that decision in line with*her own inter- ests, and very properly k at it from the British standpoint. There decides so if we I is some talk that the job of umpiring may be turned over to the league of nations, If this is done, the aggressor nation will be the one which fails to control the majority vote in the league, The most significant thing about the pro posed securi pact is not the terms of the pact itself, but the fact that France and Germany seem willing to negotiate. If the lion and the lamb really want to lie down peacefully together, some way will be found to arrange it sooner or later. In the meantime Uncle Sam may be thankful that he will not be compelled to act as umpire and to enforce in European politics. That is a j turn over to Great Britain, the gue of nations or anybody who really wants it. Whatever the United States can do to help keep the peace, when the time of peril comes, will be done freely, and without any hamy ing commitments in ad- vance. iy decisions b that he can well afford to The Fifty-Fifty System Governor Ritchie of Maryland attacking the fifty-fifty system of federal aid declared that it should be stopped. It in- volves a principle more vital to the governors of é@very state and to the people than any other government problem. The very name “federal aid” a misnomer. It implies some sort of gift or gratuity from the government, whereas the truth is that the money which the government pays the states it first collects from the people, and before paying back this aid out of taxes the government deducts enormous sums for the cost of federal bureaus; secondly, the government only returns to the states the money whith it first collects from their people upon condi- tions mentioned. In other words, the yernment gets indi- rectly and by bargain the right of supervision and control over local affairs which it could not supervise or control directly, The Human Problem The human problem, so-called, is not a problem that re: lates to a people, but to people, individuals. There is no unit, properly called “the people.” The unit is a person, a soul. And unless the real unit is bettered, there will be no bettering “the people.” Religion, morals, must be made personal. The ndividual is himself responsible for the state-or the nation. The individual is important. He must be reached. It will be a long, painful and doubtful task to make over humanity, per: per generatic fter genera But that’s the only i e. tion to righteousness.

He intends to study conditions in the building trades industry abroad, not only with solution of the dispute between. the plasterers’ and brifklayers’ unions this country in mind, but also with a view to working out chan in the new immi ration law. Mr. Davis holds that under no conditions should gn labor be imported into this country during a strike over wages or working conditions, but suggestions have been made to him that in a dispute b een between the plasterers and bricklayers, there should be no hesitancy in permitting laborers to come to this country ta do the work that Americans refuse to do because of disagree ments among themselvés One Reason Why Tf $100,000 worth of property is taxes must be proportionately in taxed property unions such ag that off the tax list, the fl on another $100,000 of This is one reason for high taxes in many com munities. Laws which permit the continued issuance of tax; exempt bonds, are constantly inereasing the tax load of one man in or¢ that another may tax free, Isn't the fact that France, Germany and Great Britain are trying to arrange a security pact, a sort of slam on the World Topics Industry should provide plans whereby all employes would be enabled to attain financial independ- ence by the age of retirement, Wil Nam E. Knox, president of the American Bankers’ Association sald recently. “The present policy in Amer- ican industry of helping em- ployes with their personal problems is based upon the assumption that they will ulti- mately become dependent, and, to meet this condition, we provide old age pensions and other forms of compensation,” Knox WILUAM KNOX charitable sald. “Such provisions are to be com mended, of course, in lieu of a prac: tieal alternative, but in principle they are wrong and contrary to the purposes of democracy, What we want is an organized plan that will direct working people toward inde- pendence, and no system of indus- try can lay claim to complete suc- cess that does not contemplate the financial independence of every em- ploye, according to his ability to earn. “With a broad co-operative plan for systematic saving, American employes, with reasonable produce on their own part, can reach a fair degree of independence while they are still working, and at no greater cost to firms than is now required to maintain old age dependents. Here is the most logical place in our national life to demonstrate the principle of co-operation. “When public education teaches school students how to manage their personal affairs intelligently, gives them an understanding of the value and use of money and frovides the means of applying these principles, when the heads of firms make it a requirement that every young man and woman who accepts a position all be working toward a definite in saving money, when. banks nize their full responsibility as isers of the commur il illiteracy at the » ree and begin to save men’ from the tragedy and em- barrassment of financial depend ency Road to Peace Former Premier Nitti, of Italy, has put his finger on the perennial European sore spot when he says that the path to peace on that con- tinent 1s through economic union. American theorists who assume that the United States could pacify Europe by participation in a political league, so long as the basic causes of war lie thick and deep in Euro- pean soll, merely underestimate the power and persistence of the forces which make for war {n Europe.

BY A, O'DONOGHUE Some time ago the writer circu- lated in a couple of towns in Hot Springs County, a petition addressed to the Wyoming delegation in con- gress, advocating “repeal, or at least modification of the Volstead Act Said petition was, sponsored by some of the biggest taxpayers in the county. In these couple of municipalities, with a population slightly exceeding 2,000 in the aggregate, over 200 of the best people—men and women— representing practically every walk of life attached their signatures. It is only truth to say that we met with surprisingly few refusals, and most of these for business or personal reasons. Those who ac- tually declined to sign through any belief in prohibition were fh an ex- ssive number of na- kindles. Eu: dis a Lincoln who continent to such a Until it is accom: « of pacifying Europe h diplomatic negotiation will ineffective a prevent- as it has been since ceedingly small minority. We took good care to see t there should not be a single breaker, male or female, on the list. Tt {s needless to say that we could not obtain the signatures of moon- shiners or bootleggers even if we tried, as everybody knows that prac- tically all those gentlemen and la- dies are ardent prohibitionists. However, a notable feature of our experlence in obtaining signatures was the fact that over a third. of the signers volunteered the informa tion that they had voted for prohibi- mn. Yet, small wonder it anybody famillar with the blessings | of Volsteadism in these parts. Sev- eral deaths from moonshine have occurred within the last few months. Among a number of stills seized early last spring, was one in a for- mer sanitarium, right on the Big Horn hot springs state reserve at Thermopolis. Numbers of high school youths have been seen drunk or packing bottles of moonshine around on their persons, here in the Big Horn basin, On more than one occasion, onlookers have been treat: ed to the spectacle of young “ladies” {indulging in the most hilarious pranks at social functions where the lunar Hquid flowed freely, This is alluding only in the most superficial manner to the success of the dry law in practical operation. By way of digression the writer wishes to make {t clear that he ts not One of those, who are eternally eritidsing the authorities for their alleged delinquency in the enforce- ment of the Volstead law. Enforce- ment {s more easily demanded than accomplished. The officers of the law are not supported by an unani- mouse public sentiment, by any means. Moreover, the purchaser of moonshine will very seldom give evi dence. Nor can we blame him very much at that. For moralize as we Be that as it may however, if any comfort can be derived from the slt- uation, from the standpoint of us “wets,” it is the fact that we neith- er elect nor select the sald officers. They are the choice of the prohibl- tion crowd,*and no burden of cen- sure arising from the enforcement fiasco, can be placed on our shoul- ders, Whether, according to the point of view, prohibition is a farce or -a@ tragedy, one thing {fs certain, it ts not a success. It is a flat failure. —Elkhorn Ranch, Wyo. The Rainy Day Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; It rains, and the wind is never weary: The vine still clings to the molder- ing wall, But at every gust the dead leay fall, And the day is dark and dreary My life is cold, and dark, and dreary. It rains, and the wind is never wear: |My thoughts stijl cling to the moldering Past But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast, And the days are dark and dreary. Be still, sad heart! and cease re pining; Behind the clouds {s the sun still shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some dafs must be dark and dreary. KIDNAPING CF AGENT PROBED (Continued From Page One) bore out the men's statement that they had been tied to a different tree each night of their captivity. A reward of $1,000 was offered for their recovery dead or alive and a large number of the natives in the mountains joined in the search.

But first through the loose bonds of the confederation and then through the Indissoluble ties of the Gonatitution they realized our national ‘motto: pluribus unum,"—out of many one,—out of mary states, one na tlon; out of many races, one people. It {fs interesting to read -at.this time the discussions of this relation- ship of unity to peace in the mas. terful papers written for the Feder- alist by Madison and Hamilton. Both called attention to the fact that to permit the thirteen colonies to maintain separate sovereignties was to transfer to this continent the European system of rival and hostile nationalities, each needing and seeking that which belonged to their neighbors, and fighting over real and imagined wrongs and grievances. Hamilton approvingly quoted Abbe de Mably as saying, “Neigh- boring nations are naturally enemies of each other, wu their common weakness forces them to unite in a confederative republic, and their constitution prevents the differences that neighborhood occasions, extin- gulshing that secret jealousy which disposes all states to aggrandise themselves at the xepense of their neighbors,” In the present state of the world's industrial development something deeper than national pride or prefu dice incites neighboring nations each economica!ly insuffictent, to reach out for that which belongs to their neighbors.
