Many of them tell the cause and offer « cure. They all agree that our laws are not being enforced. Yet, no matter what the trouble, no matter what the c er what the complaint, no matter what the people rush to congress, to some committee, have ait, have it enacted into la.y, and g dises existing 1 a bill fr ned while you ¥ contented back to work, without regard to the rights of the he dignity of legislation. Many Jaws upon the statute books of the states and the i unjust and absurd, as everyone knows; yet from ull sides is to be heard the plea that 1 laws ought to be yed because they are laws. There is one sound argument, and one only, in vor of the strict enforcement of all laws; popular disrespect for one statute leads to disregard for others, and, in some cases, for the whole body of laws. When a polity begins to lose faith in the sanctity of the the foundation of society is in danger of weakening and causing the whole structure to topple. Society is impossible unless those who are associated ¢ = to observe certain rules of conduct toward one another. Its stability depends upon the steadiness with which they abide by that agreement; and, so far as they waver, that mutual trust, which is the bond of society, is weakened or destroyed. Law never made men a whit more just. It has been discovered many times in the history of the race that the less govern ment the better—the fewer laws, and the less confided govern- ment. Government is an expedient by which men would fain succeed in letting one another alone, and, as has been id, when it is most expedient, the governed, are most let alone by it Maintaing Accuracy Former Mayor John F. Hylan of New York City, and present Governor Al Smit’ of w York state are not on what might be called close and confidential terms of friend- ship, since the recent primary and ‘election which left Mr. Hylan standing at the post. When Goyernor Smith made the statement a few days since, that he would retire to private life at the conclusion of his present term of office, the former- mayor observed: “What again? Thaf’s about the hundredth time he has said that. ‘The mayor was right in one sense but his count was wrong. The governor had made the statement on two previous oce sions, and the present one makes only the third time. In the interest of truth and to keep history straight the mayor is corrected. Blease Breaks Out South Carolina is content with nothing less than a fire eater in the United States senate. Tillman used to furnish en- tertainment for the country at large with his occasional out- bursts, but they were mild in comparison with the present fire eater, Cole Blease, who in the course of a senate address, the other day, made the statement, that foreign diplomats have been “feeding liquor to” and “debauching” American women. In the same speech he assailed Woodrow Wilson and the World Court. He read “Washington's farewell address.” Then he said “When James M. Cox, the Democrat. candidate for president in 1920, went’up to the White House and knelt down and said: ‘I consecrate my all to thee, Mr. Wilson, not my country,’ the people slapped Cox in the face, and properly so, because George Washington told them to do so.” As a conclusion he tossed the following as good measure: “While diplomats are bringing liquor into Washington by the truckload, without being molested, the American laboring man is forced to slip into alleys to get his liquor and is thrown into jail by some scoundrel in the shape of a dirty spy calling him- lf a prohibition agent. Great God, what a country! Speaking of George Washington oubtedly Washin est in history. I admire him as vho teil lies about him. 'T noble man—one of the nob ag anyone, but I despis« erry tree story was a lie nvented by a clergyman who wanted to adorn a moral for chil- ren. Washington’s dairy proves that he brewed beer, drank freely, gambled, was a regular sport and not a ‘mollycoddle’ as some historians painted him. Why should this great and glor ous patriot be handed down to posterity as a milksop? Why shouldn’t he be painted as the virile normal being that he was? Washington was not ngarly so popular in his own day as h now, and once a mob in Philadelphia sought to lynch him.” When asked what he thought of the above characterization by Rupert Hughes, the novelist, President Coolidge glanced over his shoulder through the window of his office at Washington's Monument. “Well, the monument is still there,’ he drawled with a smile ton wa those Crime in the News a Casper S. Yost, editor of the St. Louis Globe Democrat and president of the Society of Newspaper Editors, contends that the publication of crime ne does not promote crime. Charles H. Dennis. the Chicago Daily News, says that nine tenths of the crime news could be printed in small type and egrated on an inside page. Murder, with mystery, said Ed mond W. Booth, editor of the Grand Rapids, (Michigan) Press is a “first-class story in any newspaper” and will not do un usual harm to the public mind. J, T. Williams, Jr., editor of the Boston Evenir American, defends the featuring of crime news on the ground that crime is a potential threat to a whole community. English newspapers print far more crime news than those of this country, says Grove Patterson, editor of the Toledo (Ohio) Blade, there are proportionatel; fewer murders there. The new president of the Women’s National Republican club is Miss Alice Hill Chittenden. When the tle for equal suffrage was raging, she made the prediction that men would rue the day when woman's suffrage triumphed.

Until the rail- roads were taken over by an inter- national commission they had been operated for five years by ministers responsible to parliament and every year money had to be drawn from the national treasury to make up a heavy deficit.

The Re- gional: office for Wyoming 1s lo- sated in the Becklinger building at Casper and is organized to meet the needs of this state as far ag possible. For general administrative purposes it is divided into four divisions, ad- minis' ubilitation, medical, and claims divisions. The adminis- tration division takes care of all property and supplies, personnel, au- diting ond disbursing matters. The rehabilitation division takes care of all matters pertaining to the train- Ing of disabled ex-service people. The medical division handles all the physical examinations, hospitaliza- dion, and nursing. The claims divis- ton handles, from a legal standpoint, ull evidetice on claims, makes awards on compensation, and approves all »atyments made to rvice men on account of their disabilities, During the month of December the Wyoming régional office paid nut to the ex-rervice men of the state in compensation alone $32,914.24; for ining allowance to men in train- ing, $3,241.70, and for all other items, transpor- ing for claim- other expenses, ment of the World War act of June 7, 1924, and ment of March 4, 19 to the United reau the duty Including supplies, special tation, m ants, als and lod, alaries and phase of the bureau's: actiy- ities of which little seems to be known fs that of the guardianship work for incompetent ex-service men and minors.

The bureau may, however, su payment of compensation to any guardian for just cause so in order not to work a hardship on the ward the bureau works through the courts. In working through the courts the bureau has need for the co-opera- tion of the local posts of the legion and the legion needs in its child wel- fire program an organization to work with the bureau in this respect. The term welfare means welfare for both the present and the future. One of the most encouraging signs of presperity and an inclination on the part of'the ex-service men to pro- vide for the future is the amount of government’ insurance that has “TeAint Gorn to Rain t Ain't Goin to No More” You'll get rain, sleet, or snow gain—maybe tomorrow.

The Wyoming re- sional office during November and December was instrumental in rein- stating and converting approximate: 'y $30,000 worth of government in surance for men who had allowed thelr old war insurance (term) to drop. This is a matter for serious thought, particularly tor thore who have dependents. The World War act provides that no term insurance can be reinstated or converted after July 1926 and if the war (term) Insurance has been allowed to lapse It must be reinstated on or before that date. If he applicant ts now in as good health as he was at the time his insurance lapsed the insurance may be reinstated and converted by paying two monthly premiums on the amount reinstated and convert ed.
