Register complaints before § o'clock, ES , Tt Has No Conscience Beware being just one of a crowd. us we understand human individuali of life, a giant mass of deadly forces, It has no very clear foresight; it takes the present only; it has no conscience. A man in a crowd can commit crimes and come out with- out knowing he has done so. It is a new organism, a creature not in the books. Drag one of its parts out, knock him down and cool him, and see him come back slowly to humanity again. The psychology of a crowd is the psychology of a pure instinctive. A mad- man may act as a crowd acts; he’s gone down to the raging level of a mass. A hot average of an angry number is a devilish thing. In a crowd, considered as a simple organism, a single thought ulmost always dominates. It is not, as a rule, a lofty or enobling thought, for without much training, a mass of people are rarely capable of being moyed by fine motives. It is not surprising that an organized crowd in action is often a destructive organism, as in a southern lynching bee, or a California “radical” raid, You may see the same thing in strikes where the “nervous sytem” of a trades union fails to control a badly organized body of men. In every crowd, of course, there are the rudiments of a nervous system; somebody springs to the front and becomes the ring leader. If he harangues and harangues successfully, he always represents what the others want and usually puts it in a few words in an idiom the others easily understand, What is usually called contemptously an agitator is nothing more nor less than a positive part of the inchoate nervdus system of a new body. By the time it is properly organized we usually cease to call the leaders abusive names, and if they keep a firm control over their numbers we are prepared to do them more or less honor. In time they become our heroes. The radical agita- tors who stirred up the American reyolution for instance. wecesensmegeneee 6.50 A crowd is not human, A crowd is a flood Tactless Germans The resentful comments of the German press oi P’resiident Coolidge’s Omaha speech seem strangely perverse. They seize upon the incidental to the neglect of the substante. It was inevitable that the President, speaking to veterans of the Great War, should allude to their crusading spirit, assert that they had “saved civilization from a gigantic reverse,” and had decided the question “whether the principles of despot- ism or the principle of liberty should be the prevailing stan- dard among the nations.” These and like expressions are pounced upon by German newspapers as deadly insults, as tearing open old wounds, as assuming to decide the question of Germany's war guilt. But why did they not allow their eyes to rest upon the concluding portions of the President's address, in which he called for the abolition of international jealousies and hatreds, and urged co-operation of all countries as friends and equals in seeking and enjoying the fruits of permanent peace? This is now the professed attitude of the German government and people. The German press would surely have been wiser and more helpful if it had emphasized these points of sympathy instead of magnifying in anger in- significant details. Robinson On Aviation Assistant Secretary Theodore Robinson, of the nayy, the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce in a recent addres “We are not going to let any one man or circumstance stand in the way of development of ayintion by the army and navy. That development is ours and not any one man’s, and it is going to be for the arm nd navy in the defense of the country and for any man. Aviation on the tongue of everybody these days, a little too much in fact, on some people’s tongues, Nothing new has come up except the Haw 1 flight, which is called a failure, and I do not think that was so bad. Macmillan expressed the opinion that planes could be landed all right in the Arctic area. The truth of the matter is that the men who went up there accomplished some of the most remarkable things in ayiati history. An: other failure is pointed to in the e of the Shenandoah. I have been on the Los Angeles, which made the trip-to the as and back without difficulty. I should have been henandoah, too, if T had not been sent over here on an official trip. Any ship running into a typhoon may have trouble.” told not one is 80, Leniency To Criminals Everybody knows that the judges of this country are far too lenient. But are they more lenient than the public would have them be? We do not believe it. For the public is a strangely complacent public where the erininal is concerned; it has a very tender spot for him in its heart. On all sides you can hear sympathy expressed for the most atrocious murderer and thug. You hear far more sympathy expressed for the criminal and for his family than for the victim of the criminal and the family of the victim, It is true that Judges ®, most Of them, foolishly hesitant to impose anything like an adequate penalty upon those of whose guilt there is no possible shadow of doubt. But they are merely, we believe, acting many, perbaps most of the public would haye them act. “Give the poor fellow another chance,” is the attitude of the mushy-minded folk of whom there are so many nowa- days. And the result is that desperately vicious thugs are given chance after chance, suspended sentence after suspended sentence, until it is no wonder that all offenders against the criminal law come to have nothing but contempt for society and for society's laws, The fact that too many prosecutors are overworked and have as assistants young and untried lawyers, has been com- mented on before. The result, as we have pointed out, is that the state is represented in many criminal trials by inexpert- enced attorneys with hastily prepared cases, while the accused is represented by shrewd and able attorneys of long experi- ence in criminal trials, Result: Failure of the state to con viet, even when there is a strong case if properly handled, for the states, If we want to convict and to keep in jail those guilty of crime we must awake to the necessity of doing something. By Mrs. Dorothy This eleven but in summer we travelled through states and part ef Canada, no p'ace did we find a high school building as fino as ours and few to compare with it. To be sure, we did not see all of the schools, but we did see enough to make a representative observation. We have come to this conclusion: Casper has every right to be very, very proud of its new high schoo! bulld- ing. Natoinal progress owes and al- ways shall owe much to the men and women who planned, not only for the present, but for the future. When our school board, the county superintendent, superintendent of schools and the loyal cifizens of our community had a vision of our edu- cational need, planned, and erected our high school, they built not only for us but for generations to come. And—if you have never been a servant of the public—you can not know how the ones interested have labored without pay and with no hope of reward except for the pleas- ure of a god deed well done. Our new high school butding is inyaluable to the people dn the city of Casper; every brick is worth its weight in gold as an investment in character building for this com- munity, There is nothing hap- hazard about the but'ding; every feature was considered as to its utility. Last year your superin- tendent went from one department to another and, as is the way of a good business man, consulted the instructors and checked up on the needs in each group, What fs the result? Every part is carefully or- ganized. Our Mbrary {ts one of the finest for its size; the junior read- ing department is the best of its kind. Our laboratories, commercial department, shops, and class rooms are the pink of perfection. Your high schol faculty has been most carefully selected and maintained. World Topics “Past differences and old misun- derstandings between Great Britain and America have to be covered by the memory of the brief period of common struggle for the grandest cause that ever asked the sacri- fice of men.” Taat was the text of a recent speech of Professor Robert McElroy of Prin- ceton, who now gfills the newly created chair of American History at Oxford. “Americans did their little,” he continued, “far too little and late, the British their KING GUSTAR prompt and glor- jous mueh, but for a few God-gran’ ed moffths they fought side by side. Today. therefore, it is easy to cast past differencés into the shadows by recalling how their sons stood to- gether, cheering one another in the Your High School and Mine I mysett as very face of death. Fate gave them & common yision, & common cour- age, common death, they sleep to- gether side by side on the fields of France, and none can say until the trumpet sounds which are the sons of England and which are the sons of England's sons. And then it won't matter. Does it matter now?" Touching briefly upon th revely- tion,. Professor MeElroy said that calm minded historians, such as Sir George Otto Trevelyan, interpreted the conflict so falrly that it wi clear the war of the revolution wi not a war between England and America but between Ipberal and re- actionary men iri.both lands, Other historians, less brillant than Trevel- yan but with similar finality, have convinced America that the War of 1812 she fought on the wrong side, the professor added, and although for a full generation after the close of the American civil war Ameri, cans had vagtely resented Britain's too great sympathy with the Rebel cause, recently published volumes by Ephraim Adams give a mass of evidence to prove there was no real cause for bitterness, “T have little patience with the theory that because two people speak the same language, view jus- tice from a common standpoint in- herited from a common past and react similarly to questions involy- ing the sporting spirit, they can see eye to eye all things.” he continued Al s and forever, if history teaches us anything, nations have Jaid their own course regardless of kinship or background, and they al- ways will, We are America and shall remain America. You are Great Britain and despite the chaos of a shattered world, remain and will remain the center of the great- est commonwealth of nations the world has ever seen.” ——.—-_ Who’s Who In these days of republics and tottering thrones there is ono king who still retains his popularity. He is King Gustaf V of Sweden. A Sreat deal of his time is spent in- cognito on the continent. A de- votee of tennis, he usually is an entrant at the tennis tourna- ments of the Riviera as “Mr. G. Although sixty-seven years o'd and seldom a winner he in on playing the best players. He was born at Drottning- holm Cal in 1858, the son of King Oscar of Norway and Sweden. After spending his youth in the army and travel he married Princass Victoria, daughter of the Grand Duke of Baden. In 1907 he succeeded his father who had renounced the throne two years before. Sweden's ruler is an honorary honorary admiral of the British navy Tiquor is a state méhopoly in India, Prewitt Pohlman. ‘This fail, a Chicago critic sald that of course they were proud of their schools, but whenever a noted visitor arrived, the citizens waited until after school hours to show off their civic pride. The idéa was that after this timo tho underpaid teachers would be gone. The hint was suggestive. Superintendent Slade has no one on his faculty whom he would wish to hide should visitors arrive. Perhaps you, too, have heard the whispered grumble, “But, did they need that much room? Isn't it too big?” To any one who labored there last year, who went to school over eleven periods ranging fror\ 7:30 to 4:30, or who had children in school this is a neediess inquiry. In the part ot Canada in which we visited this summer, they maintain a school for boys and a school for girls; often they are just across the street from each other. Our finest system could be no such burden on the taxpayers as this dual system in Canada. Their type of building, too, is often ,barn- lke with little attempt at beauty. Our new school building {is not only useful but beautiful. We have seen no other building to compare with ours unless it ts the Thomas Jefferson school in West Council Bluffs, and it is not so large. Our court plan is fine, giving light and space. The towers and ornaments are attractive. This summer, even before the exterior was completed; our national flag floated from the tower to the southeast. Even the engraved quotations put in con- spicuous places are varied, appro- priate, and inspirational. The peo- ple of Casper are to be congratu- lated upon the possession of such a high school building and all that it means to this community.

Probably on account of’! the world baseball series. I am about to put up for public consid: eration a full ticket with a few rea- sons why the candidates named should be chosen. Casper citizens and property owners are too prone to sit back and wait until » person owning no property pops up and runs for office, with the majority of his supporters owning no property either. What I propose is to bring out a good strong tieket composed of property owners, men of respon- sibility and business understanding, to represent us. You will notice I use the words property owners. I du this advisedly, and ask you to tally up the property owners holding elther eity or county offices and jobs. There are not ma: I understand that Lowndes, kine and Tucker retire men, and Chandler, Thomas are holdovers. 5004 Let's hi Hoft- eouncil- Brown and So far so “e J. S. Van Doren, pres- ent city treasurer, for our next mayor. Van is a solid, thoroughly reliable citizen, safo in every par- ticular, a splendid executive. He has been a fine example of citizen- ship of Casper for thirty years. During that time, he has filled city and county offices efficiently and capably, He answers the proper'y owner requirement, there and over. Nor only that, he is a true supporter of hie home town, fn that he has Invested in Cuasper's securities to general in the Danish army and an) the extent of more than $50,000 and regularly clips the coupons calling for less interest than ne could ob- tain in other forms of inyeatment T think he would desire to see C: per pulled oyt of the hole. He knows what money Casper has spent, and how spent. Wheie ft wan done foolishly and where wisely: Just ask Van Doren where the city = financially, he knows. We don’: believe, either, he was choson mayor, he would send to Douglas or where for men to fill appointive oitices under him, when he het ‘mere competent men and property owners, here at hone, mayor, For counctiman for the first ward 1 t's have a man who knows some- thing about the health of the city and tae veople, How about Dr. be Casper Daily Cribune Keith? I hear you saying, “Dr. Keith is too busy.” Bosh! Dr. Keitl. or nobody else will be busy lors, if you don't get someone lil him to wake up and take hold cf municipal affai He is a prop- erty owner and has a good knowl- edge of public affa Push him irto the harness and cee him per- form. ° For ward No, 2 let's have some man who knows something about clvil engineering, so there will be someone in the council who can fig- ure estimates and costs and be a nource of guidance to fellow mem- bers of the council. Let's slip up on Albert Park. Good old honest Albert, well informed and capable. Simply draft him. For ward No. 3 you have Art Chandler, who fee's his oats and might want to break over and bolt for the mayor's job. But someone rust go tell him to stay where he is, sit steady and not rock the boat. And there's Ambrose Hemingway He has been mixed up a little with city. affairs. He knows what is Wrong and he ought to be willing to help pull the old town out of the hole, Come on, Ambrose, and don’t be atlacker. Ambrose has prop- erty, too. Now. Mr. Wditor, that fills the bill. I don’t know the politics of the gentlemen mentioned and don’t care. I do not know their religion, nor have I been talking to George Ferguson. We may have to do as they do in baseball, sacrifice Park to Lowndes for George's sake, but at that Lowndes {fs a good man, but not where George wants him. Call a body of good citizens to walt upon these men and make them candidates. Yours for a bigger and better Cas- per. PROPERTY OWNE pees teibdias forall Candidate for Mayor Editor Tribune— In presenting my name to the cit- {zens of Casper for the position as mayor, it is meet and fitting that I should annouece my position, and pledge myself to the support of public questions pertinent to the upbuilding ‘and advancement of the city. I believe that the most vital ques- tion to the prosperity of our city is the Casper-Alcova Irrigation project. TI believe we should hold to the orig: inal proposition of having at least 250,000 acres, and should rather in- crease it than decrease it, as there is plenty of water for a much larger acreage. If the water is properly conserved. W tem of stora River, both above Casper and be- low that would have a capacity of one million acres. This system would require an outlay of probably thirty million dollars, and woulé reduce the price per acre to about thirty dollars, which would be very attractive to farmers; and would mean rapid settlement. This water fs lke so much gold. and should be stored and hoarded like that prec- fous metal. Of next and equai impertance te the city of Casper is an adequate gravity water supply. I belleve thet can only! be acquired from the Al- cova dam. If we can supply water to the Refining and other manufac- turing companies cheaper than they can pump is—as they are doing now |. —then we would have a special in- ducement to capital to invest in our yicinity in other manufactyring en- terprises. “T belleve we should fyrnish @ site for a community building especially as we can furnish sites which will net require the expenditure of any money at this time. TI do not be- lleve in false economy, but if we are Roing to lower taxes we must spend Jess than we have been spending, or we must spend more and Increai ‘our taxable property which will lead to the lowering of taxes. T lalieve in the enforcement of laws by orderly and legal proces: Not persecution in an jllegal man- ner, which leads to anarchy. 1 belleve in the Golden Rule. Let us Strive to make Casper a place where men and women can make a better living in legal than in illegal occur pations. If we all pull together we ean do this by helping each other. Nature has endowed Casper and vicinity with unusual opportunitl: soll, water, sunshine and, climate. Tt only awaits men and women of courage and perseverance to make the desert places flourish with wealth and happiness. Should you clect me as thayer of your city, I pledge myself to give my best efforts to the accomplish: ment of these objects, by and through your advice and moral as sistance.
