which the Ford factory is one, where one or two indi-
viduals start in q small way and build up an enormous
enterprise without calling to their assistance the small
savings of large numbers Of men who invest In stocks
But, on the whole the building Of enterprises such rs
that IL impraetieable.
Mr.. Ford's theory is that rnilroad operatives only
should be permitted to invest in the stocks Of rail
roads The fact il that railroad employees have al
ways had an opportunity to invest in stocks Their
compensation has been large enough SO that they
could save money which could be thus invested, and
yet a very small proportion Of them put their money
into railroad securities.
There are men engaged in many lines Of business
who accumulated savings which they do not desire to
leave idle. Their own occupations do not call for
larger Investments The easy, the natural, and the de-
full enterprise where their money can furnish employ
ment to Others and at the same time leave them free
to follow their usual avocations. Their purpose is not
merely to save for their families but to have a source
Of income and means of support when old age forces
them to discontinue active work.
A doctor, for instance, may have an income of s1o,-
600 a year, which we assume Mr.. Ford will not con-
tend Is an exorbttant income, while his expenditures
may be only $4,000 a year, leaving him 5000 Of saw
ings which he has no means of using in his own pro-
fession- What would Mr.. Ford have him do with it,
II he loans it to a farmer and takes q mortgage on the
farm he virtually becomes n stockholder in the farm
his dividends are collected in the form Of interest.
Such n use Of the money might not be desirable be-
cause of the difficulty Of regaining possession Of the
money at any time he might need it. The easier thing
for him to do Is to invest it in the stock Of some large
corporation where his money will help develop the
concern, give a better transportation service to the
nation and afford employment to a large number Of
men.
Mr.. Ford will hardly assert that a man who saves
his money is not entitled to make a profit th~erefrom.
For many years Mr.. Ford has been making a profit on
his invested capital at a far greater rate than 80 per
cent Of the people of the United States are able to
realize on their savings.
II the investment of savings Is to be considered a
near-cime, making a man an economic parasite, then
the great majority of the people of the country must
discontinue their habits Of thrift and spend their
money as thqv earn II n ~ LAT n lie ida IN hauka safo

OF his conclusions. He states that n

HIS CHARACTER WITNESS.

In his extremity Ciblin calls upon his boon
companion Sheffner to sustain his vanishing
meetings to bear testimony to this purity of
purpose and patriotic attitude of his candi-
dacy.
Shefner is the ideal character witness to
certify to any Casper audience the new hope
that will be presented in an administration
in which Giblin is mayor and Sheffner is chief
of police.
If the people desire a continuance of the
same old helpless and hopeless conditions of
underworld control and extravagant and ir-
responsible direction of public affairs then
they want to place the city at the mercy of
Giblin and Sheffner.

WHAT HE FEARS.

One of the Giblin petitioners has said upon
the streets of the city that the one thing he
fears above all else in the Giblin case is that
he (GibIin), who poses as the purity caI.di-
date, will be weak enough to fall for the dis
reputable element and turn the city over to
the control of those who have neither honor
nor conscience, in administering the affairs of
the people.
1t is this danger that The Tribune has
warned the public, concerning, from the be-
ginning of the campaign.
The deeper you dig into the Giblin char
acter the more you find out.

SOMETHING

The eastern insurance agency that pub
lishes such a glowing recommendation of
efficiency for their local agent, Gibliu, has
overlooked the deal which Giblin, as a men,
Der of council, attempted to put over in viola
ton of the Wyoming statutes, in the matter
of insuring officers in the city's employ.
This was one of the rawest deals ever at
tempted by anyone ever connected with the
city government, who had taken an oath to
protect the public interest and enforce the
laws.

Henry Ford advances the general proposition that
railroad stockholders are parasites. Such a theory, IL

enterprises.

necessity Of cutting his squad to
workable proportions at once. He

Consequently he and Assistant
Coach Kellison were not able to
give the players the individual at

SOME FIGURES
ON FIRST GAME
Mountaiueers Made "a
First Downs To
Three

Sept. 26.-The aftermath Of the
opening battle Of the 1921 West
Virginia football season staged at
Fairmont on Saturday between
wesleyan and West Virginia shows
that tho Mountaineers outplayed
Wesleyan fully as much as the
score OF 35.3 would indicate.
In the four periods of the contest
West Virginia made twenty.four
first downs while Wesleyan made
but three. Two OF Wesleyan's first
downs came when Radman and
Thomas broke loose for gains OF
approximately ten yards each in
the second quarter, while those
piled up by West Virginia were
evenly distributed throughout the
four periods.
The advantage In ground gained
indicated IN the first downs is al.
SO bourne out when the actual fig
ures are complied. These show
that West Virginia rushed the ball
from scrimmage total OF SO9
Yards, while Wesleyan got only %
yards, or ratio Of almost six to
one in West Virginia's favor. Tho
large part Of the ground gained by
West Virginia resulted from
rusres, as only IS yards OF her
total came from forward passes.
Nardacci hurled the oval twice to
Martin: Martin passed successfully
to Graham once and Crayer pass
ed once to Kiger. West Virginia
attempted but six passes and the
above four we're successful. Yves
Ieyan passed nine times and only
twice did the play work.
In the matter of penalties West
Virginia was slightly at a disad.
vantage with 90 yards OF setback
against her, while Wesleyan was
tabled for forty.fiye yards by the
officials.
In running back, kicks West
virginia had a big advantage with
rs yards Of returns to only So Tor
Wesleyan. Nardacci's returns OF
thirty.flve yards and fifteen yards
each, Of course, boosted West Vir'
gEnia's total.
West Virginia had tweuty-four
players IN tho game and from the
sldelines there appeared to be no
weakening OF the team by the
sending in OF substitutes. In fact
in the fourth quarter when Russ
Meredith was the only man in the
lineup whose name adorned 1T
when the game started. West Vir.
ginia ran over Wesleyan far easier
than she had at any other stage.
This may have been explained by
tn fact that Wesleyan was weak
