Where is Wondering Susan?

We have worried long time as to
where is our wandering boy tonight.
There has been enough in this town
and nearby towns within the past year
or two to cause US to send our worries
in another direction. For where, IA
ther and mother, is your wandering
Susan tonight?
The stories come all too frequently
nasty tales not fit to print, yet which
require investigation and prosecution.
Often-very often indeed-to pre-
vent unpleasant notorietyt, the of
tense is passed over and someone es-
capes. There is every reason to be-
heve that only very small percent

courts or the officials.
Susan is out tonight, but with
whom? Is it enough that it is a good
looking young man, with good clothes,
and, perhaps, an automobile. If that
is recommendation enough no wonder
Susan brings the gray hairs to father
To be sure there are laws to cover
these things, but the most vigorous
prosecution in the world cannot re-
store to Susan the fair name she has
lost or wipe out the blot on the fam
lily. Where is Susan tonight? Parents
who do not know where she will be-
before she goes out, and do not know
whom she intends to meet AMI how and
when, are neglecting the most solemn
of their duties. It is for Susan's in
terest, more than for any one else's
that her guardians should exert over
her the control that's given them both

There is a strong movement in the
state American Legion circles to urge
and promote the passing of stringent
anti-BoIshevik legislation in Kansas
and the nation. Already some of the
lawyer members m the Legion at
Wichita and elsewhere are at work on
tentative drafts, and it is understood
that they wish to have suggestions
from Legion posts all over Kansas.
''Why don't they arrest the I. w.
W.s?" is the common question in Kan
sas and other states. The answer is
that there is no law that gets squarely
at the l. w. W. question. Most of the
laws heretofore proposed have dealt
with superficial symptoms such as the
use of the red flag, sabotage and phys
zeal violence.
In order to get at the fundamental
doctrines of syndicalism fairly and
squarely the question must be ap-
preached from the angle of economic
pressure" which is the greatest and
most fundamental principle of the I.
W. W. and kindred organizations. 1t
should be made illegal to preach any
change in government by any means
except by majority rule through the
ballot box. This is of course in har-
mony with pure and unadulterated
Americanism. A law like that would
strike terror into the hearts of al
syndicalists, for their whole program
is based on the proposition of over
turning the government through in.

The latest dodge of the Nonpartisan
League in Kansas is to challenge local
people to debate. This is only done
because they hope to gain hearing in
this way that cannot be secured in
any other way. They hope to corner
some one who has not had time or op-
portunity of gathering the vital facts
and of keeping them close at hand.
Whenever the League agitators have
run up against the real facts, however
they have turned tail and changed the
subject. They dare not discuss the
connection with the L W. W. or the
seditious nature of Townley's tactics
or hundred other things and SO they
try to stir up a cloud Of dust to hide
the issues. P. E. Zimmerman of the
Kansas Anti-Bolshevik Campaign, has
repeatedly given the facts about the

Political Rule in North Dakota

Political Rule IN North Dakota
That the control of the Nonpartisan
League, if continued for any great
length of time, will bankrupt the
state of North Dakota and practically
ruin financially thousands of farmers
of that section, is the opinion of men
familiar with the situation in that
state. Practically every newspaper
in North Dakota is under the control
of the Nonpartisans and cooperative
stores have been established by them
in different parts of the state. The
courts, it is claimed, are dominated by
the influence of the organization, as
are the affairs of a majority of the
state and district offices. Nonpartisan
League officials are trying to dodge
the issue of their recent wildcat fin
ancnig by calling two state officials
who exposed their banking methods,
traitors" Calling names doesn It
make a sound bank, or save North
Dakota from political exploitation but
it furnishes an object lesson for other
states.

A very promising beginning has

The Hopi- Wind River well is run

lions already encountered are said to
be more than encouraging. Another
water strata has been drilled through
and it was necessary to underreeam
again in order to case this water off
with the present string of casing.
A new steel bull wheel has arrived
and will be taken to the we'll immedi-
ately. The drilling at present is in a
hard Gaping, thought to be the red
wall under which the oil is to be ex-
pected, and much interest is manifest
in the continued progress of the
drilling. This formation is estimated
variously as from 5000 to 1000 feet in
thickness. 1t will not be long, at the

The Wonders Of America
OUR MIeHTIEsT HOT SPRING.
By T. T. MAxEY

A LMOST in the center of Wyoming.
"A near bend in the Big Horn river
and 1850 feet above sea level, nature
brought to the surface, for the bene-
fit Of all humanity, her most notable
work in the hOt-spring line. Here, from
a rough-edged opening approximately
% feet in diameter, and which may
come through from China for all any
body knOws-since 1t has been sound
Ell to depth Of 1000 feet and no bot
tom found, there bubbles forth about
100000 gallons of 135-degree hot
water, possessing untold medicinal
value, every "a hours.
This health fount was discovered
by a wandering band of Indians. When
the white man came he named it "Big
Horn Hot Spring." because the water
was finally tumbled over 40-foot cliff
in a beautiful waterfall to the river
below. A city was built by the river.
They called it ThermOpOlis .(HOt City,
because of its nearness to the spring.
The government purchased the tract
on which the spring is located in 1887.
Washable, chief Of the ShoshOne,
agreed only on condition that a por-
ton Of the water be reserved forever
free for public use. Later, when the
government coded the land to the state,
the same clause was inserted in the
patent. Thus this great nature-made
anti-toxin for many Ills which beset
humanity has been preserved for the
use Of everybody for all time. A nat
ural admixture of sulphur, lime, mag
nesia, iron and silica, this water pos
sesses exceptional restorative proper
ties in the treatment of blood and skin
diseases and rheumatism.

But there is common ground upon which all

A careful reading of the article on
creameries published elsewhere in this
paper, is recommended to the farmers
of the community. The facts given
are worthy of all consideration by
those interested in pushing ahead in
the endeavor to secure individual as
well as community prosperity.
A canvas of the surrounding coun-
try has been made by Mr.. C. E. Getz,
who finds that there are sufficient
number of milk cows to make begin
ming. Only one thing further is need
ed now to insure the establishment
and success of the enterprise-the full
and whole hearted cooperation of the
farmers.
The Cochise County State Bank
stands ready to extend any assistance
in this matter to help start the en-
terprise. President A. G. Smith
states that satisfactory financial ar
rangements can be made through the
bank for the purchase of cows, getting
wells on property or doing anything
to get the enterprise on foot.
