Amplified, “Ile that is once admitted to the right of son is made a freeman of the whole estate and what Plato has thought, he may think, What a saint has felt, he may feel. What at any time has befallen any man, he can understand. Who hath access to this universal mind is a party to all that can be done, for this is the only and sovereign i Of the works of this mind, history is the re genius is illu ed by the entire series of years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds. And thus it said that man is explicable by nothing less than all history: If we believe with Emerson, that there is one mind common to all men, then we believe that without hurry, without rest, the human spirit goes forth from the beginning to embody every facult every though, every emotion which belongs to it, in appropriate events, Always the thought is prior to the fact. All the facts of history pre-exist n the mind as laws.” Each law in turn is made by cireum tauces predominant, and the limits of nature give power to but one at a time. \ man is the whole eneyclopedia of facts. The creation of thousand forests is in one acorn, And Babylon, Egypt, Rome, Gaul, Britain, America, lie folded in the first ch after epoch are merely the application of man’s pirit to the manifold world. The world exists for the each man. There is no age or state of society or in history to which there is not somewhat cor- life. If you would know yourself, read his- own s Russian Children oer re told by the Moscow correspondent of the Associ- ‘ 4 ated Vress that one of Russia’s unsolyed problems is to relieve the thousands of vagrants, destitute children and unemployed, who overflow eyery city in that unhappy country. The greatest of these evils is the number of destitute chil- dren which the bolsheyik commissioner of education has term- ed “the most terrible ulcer on the soviet union’s body.” Many of these children, it nid, are addicted to drugs and others are infected with disease. All are a positive menace. According to M. Lunacharsky, the commissioner of educa- tion, who is direetly quoted, ‘hundreds of thousands of these children, have degenerated into a state of semi-sayagery sonic bordering on idiocy while others have had their wits so sharp- ened, and excited by collision with life that they have become dangerous enem to society.” i Legions of adult paupers clutter every street and squat in front of eve chureh, eryi bread, please, bread.” The commissioner of education, a staunch communist ad mits that the problem of destitute children ig beyond the con- trol of the state, and in his appeal for public funds he asks for privy iting that otherwise all efforts will be use- less and t stream of vagrant children will not only pay a horrible tribute of death but will develop into a pol luting flood, poisoning the ent current of Here is food for thought for our Amer about freeing our American children from the “ec alism” by tunii mnunist state. Attacking the Tariff Now that Bure owes the United States more than Uvelyve billions of dollars in direct loans, in addftion to large privat loans the demand for a change in our international policies to ke repayment of these loans easier, is dually in « 1 j q i on our protective tariff. The economists of Europe and those in our own country who think alc European lines, say that our protective tariff wall should abolished so that Europe can pay what she owes Unele Sam in cheap goods, and they are doing what they can to shape public opinion in the United States along fre« trade lines, I , however, for the good of America these efforts meeting with little success. They are not the policies of the present administration, nor are they the accepted policies of the Ame n people, If the tariff wall were lowered and an avalanche of cheap foreign goods poured into America, the European debt would not be paid by Europe but by America at the expense of Amer ican industry, American labor and the American standard of living. The great bulk of the people realize this just.as Presi dent Coolidge realizes it, and Europe's friends in America and elsewhere will have to think up some different scheme for eas: ing the payment of that debt. > ees ° Reason In Taxation It became evident some time » that the buncombe about taxing the rich” had failed. More and more it is understood that the high flying surtax nnd estate tax rates largely miss their mark and their reduction would be a general benefit. Ji ems fairly assurd that surtaxes will be réduced to 20 or per cent in the next session of congress and income taxes ye entirely abolished iu the lower brackets, Excessive gen er estates act in exactly the same man surtuxes. It is, therefore, obvious that her upply with equal force to the other. l estate taxes on larg ner as excessive federa reasons for reducin Flood Subsiding : Reviewing the work of legis in different states there isa ray of light—in a few the high water mark of new laws has been reached und flood is receding. The Illinois legislature that adjourned the other day enacted only 302 new laws anil 38 of these were appropriation and enabling acts. In spite of having hundreds of statutes that are absolutely dead letters on the law books, Illinois added 280 more rules of conduct ut the tide has turned and the Mlinois legislature enacted ess bills t 1 were ground out in the legislative grist tw: years before. Several other states have made a similar record ind it must be a satisfactory feeling to know that as time goes not only fewer new laws may be enacted, but more ani more old ones may be repealed.

Along the Burlington railroad in the Big Hogp Valley alone, there are twenty thousand acres of such land, within’ reach of sugar beet dumps, or where they can be placed when there is a demand for them. The total of’ such lands, within the Big Horn Basin, will easily reach fifty thousand acres. rom the-general interest man- {fest in the various communities vi ited, it is fair to presume that we will be able to list 20,000 acres of these lands within a short period of time, at-an attractive price to the intending settler.

Thermop olis and newspapers erroneously re ported his death, He was uninjured and declines to be dead. He has written us to suggest that he fears the newspaper reports were not founded on fact or were greatly ex- aggerated. Mr, Paul's letter fol- lowe: “Editor Tribune:—The writer is in somewhat of a quandary. to know just where he stands in this world or any other world, as on the 11th day of ‘July, 1925, the writer, together with his Bulck Sedan ran off a bridge south of Thermopolis and dropped down about thirty fect onto the railroad track. The car was demolished and the writer was killed, according to sev. eral pape ‘ound the country, and more especially the Worland Grit, dated July 16, stating that the| writer had passed ‘on, and later, | after looking at the wrecked rin | Thermopolis the following Sunday it was no wonder the unfortunute man died. Now the question With me is “when is a man dead?” Mr, Bryan gecently passed away in Tennessee after going into the mat ters contained in the Bible, and I noticed editorials afterward that if he could come back and tell his ex- perlences for the first few hours after his death that would be more valuable than anything he did Prosecuting Scopes for teaching evo. lution in the public schools, 1 be- Meve that I can furnish this infor- mation now as well as anyone else, The facts are that after I was killed my friends made inquiry from St. Veter in those places where the de- parted are synpensd to go after they pass away, anc to thelr surprise they could not locate me anywhere until finally they put in a telephone call at Riverton, Wyoming, and located me'there.

H. PAUL, “Tiverton, W: —————.___ Coolidge and Dawes Somebody is trying to stir up a rumpus in the official Republican family. The story that the president and the vice president are drifting from the cordial comradeship of campaigning days into a remote po- teness is told with a mischievously ingenious massing of circumstances and rumor. The particular occasion of the al- leged estrangement is said to be the D.uwes campaign for revision of thé senate rules. It is hinted the presi- dent has lUstened with sympathetic ear to the suggestion of Senator Curtis that a discussion of this {s- sue at the approaching session would be unfortunate from two standpoints, First it would lead to prolonged parlaver delaying serious. ly more important matters; second, it would embarrass certain Repub- lcan senators who must next year submit themselves for re-election. This may well be the viewpoint of Senator Curtis and of official Re- publicanism, but that a man as as- tute as the president will permit himself to be edged into any conflict with the yice president, or even into furnishing grounds for belief that he and the general are not in full accord, seems to us to be most im- probable. General Dawes has made his cam- paign for revision of the rules. He has laid his case before the people. When the senate assembles there is nothing he can do but awalt the ef- fects of his work within the mem- bership of the body itself. If the Re. publican organization succeeds in preventing discussion of the issue there is nothing the vice president can do about tt, other than to leave the organization to the judgment of the country. If there be mem bers of the senate who {insist upon discussing it there is nothing the vice president can do but preside over the debate. The whole matter Hes now in the hands of the senate. Presidential interference is neither necessary nor called for, and the president wonld be far less wise than we think him to be if he became involved in such a controversy. There would be re- sentment in many parts of the coun- try if it was believed that the pres! dent had taken sides against the vice president on a question in which the latter represents the popular viewpoint. If Senator Curtis 4s Intimating that there is cleavage and coldness in the relations of the president and vice president over the senate rules issue he {fs doing greater service to the: Democrats than to his own party. The latter would be foolish indeed not to follow up a hint so promising. If they should unite tn suport of the Vice-President’s pro- posals on the Senate floor they might make things exceedingly em, Larrassing for the Republicans, New Idea A dispatch from Saint John, New Brunswick, announces that the em ployees of a steel company there, have agreed to work overtime witth- compensation in the hope that ompany will there be ab to ete with other steel manufac: turers in the export market. It has been agreed by the managemen and by the employees that if any profit results from the. arrangement it will be shared between the two on the basis of seventy-flveper cent for the workers and twenty-five per cent for the owners. Each man will give thres hours three nights a week to working on orders intended for export. The arrangement !s an extraordl- nary one. From the fact that men: tion is made of eighty workers we should guess that the concern is a small one and that the big companies would hardly notice any business they might lose to ft as a result of the,men's donating thelr lnbor, If the p'an. were carried out on a largo scale, however, it 1s easy to see how the company benefiting by !t would cut Into its competitors to the advantage of tho latters’ employces We wonder what the attitude of labor’ generally would be toward any group that donated {ts services to mote competition of this kind put Have you read the announcement of South Pass Placer Dredging Co.?

Why We Shun Russia There are four outstanding rea- sons why the United States does not recognize ‘the present government of Russia. First: America does not propose to barter away its principles Second: The Soviet government re. fuses to restore the confiscated prop. erty of American citizens or make effective compensation. a insists upon repud- she owes the Unit- fa eds : The soviet government c yaganda, the object which 9 overthrow the instl- tutions of the United States, Several hundreds of millions of ars worth of property belonging to American eltibens was confiscated by the soviet government. The American government does not insist upon the full payment of these claims #s a pre-requisite’of recogni- tion, She merely asks the soviet to knowledges their 1 iiity to fairly compensate our citizens for losses sustained. This selzure of Ameri- can property, and refusal to restore er settle shows such an utter lack of faith and decency as to make offi- clal relationship impossible. Inter- national relationships would be a farce if a change of government could be followed by the confisca- tion of property of foreigners. After the fall of the Czarist gov- ernment, America loaned. the’ pro- visional government of Russia over 200,000,000 under the provisions of the Liberty Loan act. The soviet government blandly refuses to rec- ognize this debt. How could Amer- ica recognize in friendly fashion double-crossers of such calibre? Propaganda to overthrow the American government has _ been backed by the following utterances of soviet leaders. Zinoviey: “The eternal in the Rus- sian revolution is the fact that it is the beginning of the world reyo- lution,” Lenine: “The reyolutionists. of all countries must learn the organiza- tion, the planning, the method and the substance of revolutionary, work. Then, I am convinced, the outlook of the world revolution will not be good, but excellent.” Trotzky: “That means, comrades, that revolution is coming in Europe as well as in America, systemati- cally, step by step, stubbornly and with gnashing teeth in both camps. It will be a long protracted, cruel and sanguinary struggle.” the soviet editorial expres- ‘The courts of the United ro the bulwark of the bar- pitalist system, ‘This bul- private property can be only by the American working cl And in order that this may bé accomplished and the rule of the reactionary autocratic bourgeols’ government bureaucrats and with them all the exploiters be abolished once and for all, the Amer- ican working class must first of all organize 4 strong militant revo- lutionary, political party.
