MR. HAoENs FOR CHAIRMAN.

Tho elevation of Hon. 7. Blake Kennedy 20 the fed
eral bench win create a vacancy In the chairmanship
Of the Republican state committee, for it Is not Gus
tomary for high judicial officers to remain IN active
politics when they have assumed the duties of office.
It Is presumed that Judge Kennedy will call the state
committee together very shortly and present his resig-
nation.
There is but one logical successor and but one
name should be presented for the chairmanship. Hon.
G. R. Hagens of Casper is the person He Is the
present vice chairman and next In succession after
manship.
It Is understood that a number Of the members of
the committee have signifed their desire to support
Mr.. Hagens and view him as the best equipped man
in the state. thoroughly in touch with the political sit
uation and conditions, and enjoying a wide acquaint-
ance and popularity throughout the several counties.
Mr.. Hagens has been q member Of the state COM
mittee for the past six years and the chairman of the
Natrona county committee for the same. length of
time. He has been not only active but extremely ef-
fective in campaign organization work, and The splen-
did results in Natrona county and the state as well
have been due in part to Mr.. Hagens' skill and knowl-
edge of politics.
He has never held public Office and never desired
it, preferring rather to serve his party as q worker for
the general good rather than for advantage for him.
self.
It is not believed that there will be any other name
presented, than that Of Mr.. Hagens. A chairman
should have the confidence and support Of the whole
party for he needs it in discharging the difficult du-
ties of the Office.
At this time and at all times a great deal depends
publican party has been uniformly fortunate in be-
ing directed by very able men. Mr.. Hagens, if the
committee sees proper to select him, will prove no
exception.

Before the world turned to 'agenda' it was sim
ply crazy over ALLEGATION It became popular dur
ing the war in connection with ships and loans. The
ALLEGATION of shipping and the ALLEGATION of loans
came to be current phrases. The senate called on
Mr.. Wilson for information as to how he had .alo-
Gated certain funds. In a newspaper story about an
operate benefit it was said that the ALLEGATION of
boxes Is to be based on the size and date of the con-
%tribution.' ALLEGATION is so closely allied 20 'allot,
assign and 'apportion' that the shipping and treasury
authorities might just as well have said the allotment
of ships and the 'apportionment' of funds. But words
come into fashion as do styles in socks and neckties.
"And now it is 'agenda.' The words programme
and schedule and the phrase order of business are

that were to be done. Later it came to have the spe,

WHAT MEIcHEN upHoLps.

1t may be well on this side of the border to know
what is working in the minds of the people on the
other side Of the line.
Premier Meishen in a recent campaign political adj
dress said:
more than any other country, Canada needs a pro-
tectye system. She is a young country, mostly I'M
developed. She lies alongside a great big country
tremendously developed The United States has every
advantage that Canada has and tremendous advan-
tages besides. It surely follows, to the mind Of every
man, that to abandon the protective sys-
tenn in Canada would be simply to invite the ABSORB
ton Of Canadian industry in the far vaster industries
of the United States. The principles Of the protec-
ton Of Canadian industry have been proclaimed by
every statesman who has shoulders the
responsibility Of government In Canada. They are
so1nd and they are right and the vast mass Of the
people of Canada know that they are sound and right

NECESSITY OF TARIFF.
The nation bows in grief.

Sound business judgment suggests that the tax
measure be expedited and that an early revision of
the tariff along protective lines be put through con-
gress as the next great step toward the desired gem
eral prosperity and settled condition of business.
1t is true the United States has an enormous ia
vorable trade balance and that even if we continued
the present tariff law which encourages importations,
it would be some time before other nations could sell
us enough goods to wipe out the balance. But it is
also true that American workmen cannot live on a
trade balance, and If we are to buy abroad we must
curtail home production in corresponding degree,
with consequent closing down Of American mills and
discharge of American workmen.
Nothing could be clearer than this statement of a
very vital fact in our economic system. 1t is an
nounced that German wooden mills are planning to
operate at increased capacity and that they have made
contracts for the sale of their output in the United
States. British wooden and cotton mills have found a
large market in this country. Since there is a limit
to the American consumption of goods of this kind, it
IS manifest that for every yard Of foreign-manufac-
tured goods used here, there must be a yard less of
home-manufactured goods produced. If there is less
cloth produced here, there must be less employment
of American labor, there must be less purchasing pow
er among the American people, there must be less tax
paying power here, there must be less comfort and
happiness.
W do not understand that Republican leaders pro-
pose the enactment Of an absolutely prohibitive tariff
on inportations of foreign goods Such a tariff pol
icy has never been advocated by Republican leaders
forms. What Republicans do favor Is an import tax
that shall represent the difference in cost Of produc-
ton here and abroad, thus placing thu American en-
terpriser on an equality with his foreign competitor.

! GOOD
ROADS
GRAVEL FOR ECONOMIC ROAD
Summary Of Important Points Brought
Out in Recent Address by Wiseon-
sin Engineer.

Gravel roads are given n strong rec
concentration as economic highways by
A. H. Hlrst. Wisconsin state highway
neer Not only so, but he is of
me firm opinion that the economic
service of gravel road is proportion
ate to its worth. In other words, IL a
gravel roadway l6 feet wide has a life
or service of three to Ave years, then
the addition Of 10 feet will increase
Its serviceable life to six or possibly
ten years.
These figures are not definite"
says Mr.. Hirst, they merely express
the comparison which II is sought to
emphasize. Moreover this comparison
does not hold true. nor is any broad
assertion of the worth of gravel roads
quite true unless there is continuous
maintenance. Wherever gravel roads
are giving notable service good main
tenance Is as much the reason as is
good construction in the first place"
Mr.. Hirst recently gave an import
ant address on this subject and the
following is a condensed summary OF
the main points in his discussion:
I. The prime factor in determining
the relative service value of highways
is whether they serve traffic effective
iy and ineXpensively.
2. Preliminary traffic censuses are
valueless as aids in pavement type Sc
lection.
3. Traffic counts have value only In
giving information upon traffic
changes, and operation costs over
varying pavement surfaces.

HoNoRs FOR BRAVE SCOUTS.

During the year 1920 the national
court of honor of the Boy Scouts Of
America issued medals as follows to
scouts for conspicuous service In life
saving and first aid:
Two gold medals, IL silver medals,
II bronze medals. The gold medal
cases were particularly striking, in
dren from burning building by Il
young assistant scoutmaster, George
Noble of Charlton, Ia, and another
remarkably self-forgetful and fine at
tempt on the part of a scout, Joseph
Mardis of Troop No. |, East Liver
pool, to save his scoutmaster from u
fallen live wire at the imminent risk
Of his own life. Nine of the silver
medal cases were water accidents, and
I'm each case the rescuer showed eX-
ceptional courage and clearheaded-
ness. The other silver medal cases
children from n burning building and
from automobile and truck accidents.
The third scout law requires that Il
scout shall be prepared at any time
to save life and help injured persons,
and the records Of the court OF honor
abundantly prove that the boys are
living up to this obligation In full
measure. In addition to these 80
medals already mentioned, ~ letters
of commendation- were sent by the
court of honor to boys who per
formed deeds of exceptional excel
lence in life saving and first aid, with
out risk to their own lives.
