Wyoming will readily recall the condition of her people and her business in this period. The depression affected everybody. What was true of Wyo- ming was equally true of every other state and every other section of the country. During those treublous times, every available means was sought to aid the distressed people. A number of governmental neies were inyoked, the necessary laws enacted |) the congress and 1 » way paved to bring order out of chaos and restore as far as humanly possible what ‘ferred to at that time as “normalcy.” 'o dwell upon the miseries of that time, is simply to recall a dismal period in our history and one replete with business and bankruptcy. One of the government’s activities, de- the times was the War Finance vi out of the necessity corporation, with its agricultural loan agency. It was a god end to Wyoming. Recount‘ng its history would be superfluous o benefitted under its oper:.tions, To tell now of its ndid results is more to the point, The agency established for Wyoming was located at Chey- It was under the direction of the National War Finance, to those w enne with the usual loeal ageney in charge. The local loan board consisted of the following well known state bankers; C ‘orce HB. \bbott, chairman; Wesley D1tmm, John W. Hay, A. H. Marble 1 1, B, Brodks, who all served without compensation, The . w d agriculture and livestock back to its pre- prosperity by means of loans at reasonable interest and onable y, On December 81 the corporrtion closed nd abolished the agency, having finished territory, under the agricultural credits act Let began operation ts rk in this September, 1921, and continued ember 31, 1925, During this period loans to .armers; land owners, ranchers and livestock growers aggregated $14,- 82,581.24 in Wyoming and $277.670 in western Nel aska, On these sums $%; 4.54 in interest was collected. The total ex- penses incur. ! from Sept..aber, 1921 to December 31, 1924, for all purposes, amounted to $28,284.72. And the proudest part of the record is that there was not the loss of a single penny in all these numerous loans. Kyery cent came back with interest, \ splendid tribute to the judgment of the Jocal loan be rd and to the stability and solvency of the borrowers of Wyoming. At the close of business on December 31, there remained but two advances unpaid, one from the First National bank at Lingle, Wye., of $6,940.62 and one from the Citizens State bank at Kimball, Neb., 057.03. The frads for the former lie in the Lingle bank awaiting authorization for payment. The latter claim was cut from $80,000 to $27,057.03 and the balance fully covered by ample marketable collateral + close the transaction. The Ling!» claim will be paid to the Denver agency and the Kimball claim adjusted by Des Moines agency. In closing the affairs of the Wyoming age...y the mewbers of the War Finance corporation joined in a series of resolutions commending the Wyoming agency members on their splendid work and perfect record, It is indeed a proud record, It reflects great credit upon Wyoming from eyery angle in which it may be viewed. 4 Domestic Questions In discussion of the World Court question there is no harm in Jooking into all questions c -cerning it, no difference whether you are a fan in its faver or against it. The very thing that determined t'e people of the United States against the league of nations when it was the question before the house was the wide discussion of it. The court proposal should hove the same chance, One of the points which will doubtless xe mentioned in the coming discuss’ sn in the senate, is wheth er immigration and natura’‘zation are to remain domestic questions. It is the lief of the United States government that they are domestic and the whole country so regards them. But whether the status of these would change with our olning the league court is at least an open question, The court already ruled in disputes between other nations that cer phases of the ir or. question are internati nal and ot national i so held that under Jeague law a na ion did not have the r to excl e jurisdiction over aliens ithin its territory Now suppose the United States were in the league court and a jou like Japan should bring up th, immigration ques: tion. We would, of course, declare that it is purely a domestic problem and that Japan could not interfere with our treat- ment of the question. Japan would 1 otherwise and in der to ayold a rupture wight easily appeal to the league to invite the United States to join in an i. artial adjudication of the question, Of course we might still fall back on our traditional principles, but immediately there would aris« in this country and in Europe, which takes a view opposite to ours on immi gration the cry that we were honor hound and morally hound to submit to a league or league court decision on the subject. One of the principal lecturers advocating the league court and the leag ic, ex-Governor Sweet of Colorado, has already de slared he would fayor submitting to any decision on the ques tion of immigration by the le ne court, if it were the only way to prevent war. Lf such a question came up the league propaganda would be terrific and all our internationalists in America would demand that we bow to decision by the league of natior Where Our Interest Lies If Canada, a member of the British Empire, feels that her immediate destiny, lies on the western continent how nuch more ought we to feel that way about the United States, an independent nation with new world traditions and new world policies Yet there a great many well meaning Americans who seem to feel that our destiny Hes in Europe and Asia among peoples with traditions and policies ....irely foreign to our own rather than with our imme.liate neighbors. Vortunately, owever, these well meaning people are in the minority Uncle Sam and is not going to forget his interest in the Monroe doctrine and Pan-America, A dispatch from Argentine says the temperature there is a hundred above, and we supp<-e the next thing that comes along will be a circular from down there trying to sell us a corner lot in Buenos Ayres. A health expert says t' it within the next fifty oars twen y years can be added to the ave hum a life. But if con gress and the state legislatures keep on passing new laws at the present rate maybe the added twenty yegrs won't be worth living. ' Che Casper Daily Tritame) ... Who’s Who Belgrade, sixteen-year.old lad from Michael Pupin, came to Tribune | America as an immigrant steerage passenger. Today he is a professor of electro-mechanics at Columbia University and the incoming presi- dent of the Amer- ican Association for the Advance: ment of Science, Dr. Pupin ar- rived in this coun- try with but five cents in his pocket and one suit of clothes. His first job was driving a team of mules on @ Delaware farm. He was graduated from Columbia university and after further inde- pendent study he decided to go to Germany to perfect himself for a selentific career, When a department of engineer- f ing was opened at Columbia, Dr. Pupin wag put in charge. While a member of the Columbia faculty he has had several important inven- tions in the electrical field to his credit, The first X-ray photos to be made in America were the work of the man who used to drive a mule team. Many medals and honors have been bestowed upon him in recogni- ton of his selentific research, <<a World Topics “Prohibition is not a failure, be- cause it never has been fully tried,” declared Dr. Charles Stelzle of New York, veteran temperance worker, and an authority on labor subjects in @ recent speech, “but -prohibition cannot be made operative merely through law enforcement, We must not force, We must educate and enlist sentiment to support the law. “There can be no ugestion re- garding the attitude of the great mass of working men throughout the United States toward prohibi- tion. There has been a growing feeling of resentment against what is presumed to be Sumptuary legis: lation, which not. only has denied them of what they believe to be the! natural rights, but which has had practically no effect upon the rich of our country, who may secure as much lquor of every kind es they desire. MicHaet | Pupis “There are many People in our country today who want an honest consideration given to the subject of what actually constitutes in- toxicating liquor within the mean- ing of the Eighteenth Amendment. This is not a matter of mere opinion. It is a demonstrable fact. It is absurd to say that one is neces- sarily opposed to prohibjtion because one desires to know all the facts re- sarding the appeal and the posgsi- bilities of its enforcement and its observance by that very considerable minority. throughout the country who are utterly opposed to the law as it now stands, “There can be no question about the large amount of drunkenness which prevails throughout our coun- try today, It may be seen upon the streéts and in all public places. Liquor may be had in hotels, In- deed, one tg solicited by bellboys and other employes, and the bootlegging industry has become so disgraceful that in some parts of the country it is practilally bringing about the nullification of the Eighteenth Amendment. It has developed a bootleg aristocracy which will have @ large place in governing us in the next generation, “The whole question of law en: forcement as it exists today among the officials responsible for carry: ing out the law ts ally repre: hensible. It is unnecessary to dis- cuss at this time who is responsible for this situation, We are simply stating a fact which cannot be suc: cessfully denied, The situation is having a most baneful effect upon the life of the entire nation. “It must not be forgotten that when national prohibition was en- acted it was mainly a city prob- lem, and it was in the cities that the drinking was done and that Prac Heally all of the opposition of the industrialists wags to be found. It is in these cities that we are today having the most diffleulty—mainly because we did not adequately edu- cate the people to the value of pro- hibition before the amendment was | enacted.” Be the Best By DOUGLAS MALLOOK, If you cant be a pine on the top of the hill, Ba a scrub in the valley—but be The best little scrub by the side of the rill; Be a bush if you can’t be « tree. Tyranny of Time By FREDERICK G. SOOTT. I hear a ghostly passing bell In the thunder of the sea, By day and night it tolls the knell Of all that ts to be; No hands have set it In its place Nor compassed tt with bars, It hangs beneath the dome of space And swings among the stars. The silent ages come and go, They perish in the gloom, But still the bell swings to and fro And sounds the note of, doom, ‘The deep reverberations roll ar off from sea and shore, But somewhere in man's secret soul They sound for evermore. Sesrcenaiaearamnn Greater Than Before War The National Republic takes issue with the statement of Congressman Cordell Hull to the effect that we cannot collect what Burope owes us because of our protective tariff and points ut that European imports greater now than before the 1d War. In commenting on the former Demooratic national chair- man’s statement the National Re- public says: “Representative Cordell! Hull has issued a statement declaring that the reason we are unable to collect in full the debts owing the United States by European nations, is that our tariff law does not accord the foreign producer a larger share of the American market. This seems a rather far-fetched theory, especially. in view of the fact that European imports to the United States are larger today than they were before the World War, when a lower tariff which Representative Hull had much to do with framing, was in ef- fect. The New York World, in sup- porting this position of Representa- tive Hull, complains that in the last fiscal y. before the World War Italy exported to the United States 356,500,900 worth of merchandise and bought from us $74,285,000 worth, whereas during the last fiscal year Itallan imports to the United States were almost $80,000,000 while American exports to Italy were $175,300,000. These figures seem to prove neither a decline of American custom for Italian goods, which has increased more than forty per cent over prewar figures, nor 4 lack of Italian purchasing power, since In the American market this hag tn- creased 230 per cent. If under the existing tariff law Italy ts able to more than double her purchases In the United States, there does not seem to be much left of the argu- ment that the same law has de- stroyed Italy's ability to meet debt payments. As for the favorable balance of trade in our foreign deal- ings, this will frighten only those who believe that a calamity has be- fallen the United States when our international transactions make a showing on the profit side of the 6 re ar If you can't be a bush be a bit of the gras And some highway happter make; If you can't be a muskie, then just be a baes— But the liveliest bass in-the lake!

The old-fashioned League of Na tions advocates in the United States senate seem to have fallen on eyil days. Do you remember how ram- pant and how militant they wei when the fight on the League cave: nant started in the closing days of the Wilson administration? How they insisted that we would ulti- mately have to go into the League to preserve our self-respect and our interational morality? Well, times haye changed, One of the greatest knights of the League In those days was Senator Walsh of Montana, But now Sena- tor Walsh is advocating the League court, because, as he says, it is not controlled by the League, and is perfectly independent of it. In an address delivered in the ate recently Senator Walsh said: “It is absurd to speak of the World Court as being a department of the League of Nations by reason of the advisory opinions," and charged that assertions coupling the League and the World Court constitution were being recklessly made and men- daciously repeated. Now, if entering the League of Na- tions were so good a thing back in 1920, why is ft not as desirable to- day and why is it that valiant leaguers [ike Senator Walsh are so vehementiy asserting that the League and the League Court have nothing {In common? Either they have changed their minds, which is doubtful, or thy are as anxious to get the United States in as far as possible in the hope that gqnother little push later on will plunge us all the way into the international morass. The moral is that we want to be sure we know where we are going before we start. se The Death Rate As time wears on. there is always hope that the death rate because: of automobile accidents may be re- duced, but the ebb and flow since the actual record has been kept is not reassuring. The death rate is steadily creeping up in spite of the publicity campaigns and the addi- tonal safeguards taken by traffic experts everywhere against aeci- dents. In 1921 the number of deaths per 100,000 of population from auto- mobiles was 11.5. In 1982 the rate crept to 15.7 per 100,000,000 people. The figures were compiled from areas representing 85 per cent of the population of the United States. In 1922 the total deaths were 11,666, in 1923 the total elimbed to 14,411 and in 1924 to 15,528. Last year the highest death rate in California, being 32 to each 100,000 population. Wyoming came next with 27.2 per 100,000 and then ou can tare m this is a Florida with 22.6. The lowest death rate was reported by North Dakota] hear the Allies discuss the United States now? blood-sugking Iteered while Europe sacrificed, and who now owe all our progperity the heroism and beautiful idealism of the Allies. They seem to forget that, if we had not gone into the war, umphed. They forget that, Kad we not gone in, they would be paying with 6,6 per 100,00." Other states with low death rates were Missis- sippl, 7 per 100,000; Kentucky, 8. Nebraska, 8.4; Iowa, 8.6; Kansas, 9.4; South Carolina, 9.5, and Vir- sinia, 9.9. Paterson, N, J., was the most dan- serous city go far as automobiles were concerned with 34.8 per 100,000 population, Pittsburgh was second and Salt Lake City third, New York was way down in the Hat with 16.6 per 100,000 and Chicago with 19. Of course, the big cities and the more populoug states had the most auto; mobile deaths, but in many in- stances thelr pate per 100,000 popu- lation wag not so high. “To Helen © Thy Nalad airs have brought me home To the glory that was Greece, And the grandeur that was Rom Lol in you brilllant windaw-niche How statue-like I see thee stand, The agate lamp within thy hand!
