PURELY EXPLOITATION.

Is there or is there not a demand upon the part of
the people of Casper for n series OF carnivals, shows
and cheap and tawdry Entertainments, that give little
or nothing in return for the price asked for admis-
sion?
Are the people so show hungry that they desire this
class of amusement to visit the city. and will pay reg
ular money to see the wonders exhibited, regardless
of the stringency of the times and tie better use to
which the money could be devoted? -
Is the city of Casper 50 financially bad off that it
needs the pitiful license money. and must put up with
the litter occasioned. by a visitation by these touring
outfits? Does the city consider it a good investment
to permit these wandering fakirs to exploit the people
in the manner they do? Who are these visiting hum
bugs that they can come into the city and operate all
manner Of games of chance and gambling devices
whereby they can cheat and swindle the people out Of
their money? Is there not an effort on the part of
the authorities to rid the city Of all Of this particular
sort of practices?
Surely there is sufficient entertainment already
all of the needs of the people without dragging in the
doubtful and the clearly disreputable.
A clean entertainment forming a part of a worthy
cause would occasion no objection upon the part Of
anyone, ut when these shows come for the sole pur-
pose of speculation upon the people they ought to be
denied the right to open within the city. sf
1t is not a spirit Of narrowness that prompts the
suggestion, neither is it a desire to deny the people
any proper pleasure or relaxation, it is because these
visiting concerns are SO largely worthless that it ap-
pears foolish to give them a lot of money for being
so. The city would be just as happy and a whole lot
better off financially If these institutions never came
to poster us.

BLAME WILSON ExTRAvAcANcE

Figures do not lie of their own accord, but occa-
sionally those who do not take tie pains to look into
facts make them do so. The New York World, that
paragon of democracy and untruth, recently stated in
its editorial columns:
"For the present fiscal year lending with this
month"; the Democratic heads of departments asked
for $1,000, $50, 1893, and this was hailed as wild ex-
travagance. The Republican congress cut those esti-
mates and appropriated to meet the revised items S3,-
717.441,4s4, and this was acclaimed by the legisla-
tive body as heroic -economizing. But Secretary Mel
lon of the treasury figures that when the year closes
four weeks from now the actual spending win have
been S5,602,024,s 61, not counting p~osoffice outlay,
which was included in the original estimates and the
appropriations"
The figures are incorrect as the World could have
easily discovered by examination of the estimates and
appropriations for the fiscal year 1920-21. The cor
rect figures are found in the Congressional Record of
June II, 1920. The estimates of the Wilson gov
eminent were S6,334,0o0,000 instead of 1884 00,-
900 and the total appropriations were $4,s59, 600, 900
and not sS,717, This we believe represents
an economy of Stats, ooo, 900. And at the same time

WHEN AIR TRAFFIC is JAMMEp.

Fear that the air will one day become crowded and
an entirely new set of tragedies and calamities will
occur to take the place of the ones we are now ia
miliar with the Worcester Telegram thus voices its
alarm: THE army plane which crashed with seven
but it might have done SO. On the same day another
machine narrowly missed plunging into a crowded
grandstand.
what will happen when flying becomes really gen.
eral? And will the newspapers daily report of trag-
edies substitute for news of railroad wrecks the news
of the speed plane which ran off the track and into
a thronged department store? How common will be
the dropping on somebody's skull of propeller blades,
monkey wrenches and spare parts?"

SOME MEN BETTER THAN
 THE COMPANY THEY KEEP

Tom F. Stahl, railroad and express agent here, was in The Sun office Tuesday asking some questions about a recent article in The Sun in which it was pointed out, that in many cases parcel post is much cheaper than ex- press and claims for losses or damage are more quickly and satisfactorily settled by the government than by the express companies.
 Tom informs us that conditions in the latter respect are much better than they were before the war and persons making properly authenticat- ed claims for express losses are promptly and efficiently attended to.
 Much obliged to know it.
 However, as far as Tom himself is concerned, and the way he handles things, we haven't heard of any com plaints, whether regarding express or freight. The long-legged agent tries to cover his job just as thoroughly as he can terra firma, so that when one feels inclined to raise Hobbs because of some real or fancied grievance against the transportation profiteers, one always has sort of sneaking feeling of regret because iA usually makes work for the man who isn't at all to blame.

NEW NORMAL SCHOOL
 CATALOUG OFF PRESSES

The catalogue of the Northern Ari- zona Normal school just issued from The Sun presses is the handsomest one of the many god-looking annual cata- logs sent out by the school.
 In addition to the complete infor- mation about the school and curricula, there is lot of interesting informa- tion about Flagstaff, the points of in terest, the climate, etc, and numer- ous half-tone illustrations, showing the eaks, Lowell Observatory, basket ball and baseball teams, ten campus scenes in snow time and groups of the girl athletes.
 Indications are that registration this fall will be very satisfactory and President l.. B. McMullen and his most efficient faculty, almost all of whom were here last year, will have their hands full taking care of so many young men and women.
 We note the interesting fact that the total enrolment during the year 1920-21 in the normal, training and high school departments and the uni versity summer school was 721.

FATTY ARBUCKLE TREATS
 WIFE ROUGH IN ARIZONA

That the fatal injury of Miss Vir- ginia Rappe in Roscoe Arbuckle's San Francisco hotel rooms was not the first time the film comedians name has been connected with an alleged as- sault on a woman is brought out in word received here today of a some what similar incident which occurred at Benson, Arizona, in 1909.
 Minta Durfee, then Mrs. Arbuckle, was the victim of the Benson episode. She and her husband were at that time connected with .a a musical comedy troupe which had come from Los An geles to play at Bisbee. Meeting a gratifying success in Bisbee, the troupe travelled to Douglas, Fl Paso and othar cities, but finally became stranded in Fl Paso.
 Arbuckle and his wife then started back toward Los Angeles. At Benson, it is alleged, he attacked his wife, blackened both of her eyes and beat her severely, then left her penniless in Benson and went on to Los Angeles.
 Under the name of Minta Durfee, Mrs. Arbuckle had become very popu- lar in Bisbee and when, therefore, friends in that city heard of her pre- dicament, transportation at once was forwarded to her and she returned to the mining camp and remained there for several weeks, while recovering from her injuries.
 Having recovered, she surprised the friends who had cared for her by re- turning to Los Angeles and rejoining Arbuckle. Several years later, how ever, she divorced him.

RAISE LICENSE RATE
 SECOND HAND STORES

City council gave most of the time at it's regular meeting Monday night to routine matters, though one matter that came before it was the reading of letter by Judge F. w. Perkins which he had received from E. s. Gosney, in which the latter asserted his faith in the Fort Valley water development project as the best means of adding to our present supply. Gosney at one time planned to develop water there. The work of surveying at Fort Valley is not completed, though it is still going on.
 T. E. Pulliam, on behalf of school patrons, asked council to build foot bridge south of the main Birch avenue bridge over River de Flag. No action was taken.
