Yesterdays Mystery Solution


TN THE case Of "The Revere Ruby
L Harvey Hunt had presented TO him
by 1Icrrol n most unusual combination
Of circumstances.
ITerrol had been robbed of bronze
vase. 1t was the only object taken by
the thief. Hcrrol claimed it had no
actual value. and that he priced it solely
for sentimental reasons.
Yet when Hunt had suggested the
only apparently possible motive for the
robbery, that Of holding the vase for
ransom from Ierrol, the latter dis
carded the idca. He was most insistcnt
upon speed Of recovery. He would not
call in the police. He did not desire to
have the robbcr held.
The only answer Hunt could see was
that despite HerrotS denial the vase
was tremendously valuable, or contained
something of tremendous value. Her
rolls possession of it must be Illegal,
or he would have gone to the police, or
he would have at least admitted to his
confidential agent his real reason for
seeking its return. He could have dis
Carded the idea of ransom only because
he knew ii was useless, because he knew
the thief knew the real value of what
he had stolen. So Hunt suspected the
vase contained stolen property of some
sort. And as matter of fact, the man
who had stolen it from Hcrrol refused
to talk when he learned Hunt did not
know what it contained and had no in =
tcntion of arresting him. He simply
took to his heels.
Herrol, with a reputation as a re-
spectacle member of society, hat
lifted" the Revere ruby from his host
at social function given at the Rever,
home, and on account of his position
had not been suspected. The robber who
stole it from him in turn had been or

to the ~prettiest pupil
The action Of the board deprived the young LADY
Of two rights she believes all girls Of her age are en-
titled to enjoy, the right to an education in the pub
lie school and the right to look her best according to
Ter own notion while obtaining it. In order to test
her rights her father brought suit against the school
board to restore the daughter to school membership.
The people took sides IN the fight and much aerimony
was developed. In the ensuing excitement the father
died On his deathbed he exaeted a promise from the
girl to pursue the tight 10 the end. This she is doing
with the assistance Of about half the population OF
the village.
In her suit the girl contends that the constitution
Of the state Of Arkansas provides free tuition for per-
sons of her age, and that she can only be expelled IN
der the laws Of the state for gross immortality, refrae-
tory conduct or insubordination. She is asking for q
writ Of mandamus against the school board permitting
her to again re-enter the public schools so that her
education may not be impaired.
This is the first case of the kind appearing in any
eourt and the outcome is being watched all over the
land. When the courts get through we will all know
whether a girl has the right to powder her nose or
not and still attend school,
II the Casper board would adopt a similar rule 1t
would make considerable difference in the attendance
OF girl pupils, and SO it would almost everywhere else.
So we in Wyoming are raising no face powder or lip
stick controversies. We are not afraid to face pow
der but we have a decided preference for INT.
When Arkansas voted for the adoption of the nine-
teenth amendment, if she did, she ought to live up to
{, not try to abridge so universally acknowledged a
right as the right to powder the nose.

CLEARING HOUSE LETTER
TO THE srocKMEN OF CENTRAL WYOMING:

The member banks of the Casper Clearing House Association have
given verge careful consideration to the serious problems o confront
ing the stockmen of Central Wyoming. The Livestock business is now
passing through the most serious crisis in its history in this state; the
severe winter If 1919-192O; the norm expense of feeding; the fall
ing prices of cattle, sheep and wool; and the stockmen are still stag
gering under the burden of wartime expense of running their outfits
The banks of Casper have every confidence jn the livestock bust
ness;i it was the original industry of our state and it is still the backbone
of u economic structure. But we firmly believe that radical measures
must be taken if this great industry is to survive. rs
After a very careful consideration W re advise that the stockmen
and ranchers IF this section pay NOT TO EXCEED $4,000 per month
for herdes and all classes Of ranchhands, effective o OF before Janu,
r 1: that they carefully outline their plans for the coming winter and
cut running expenses to the very bone; We trust that the big outfits
and those most able to pay extravagant wages be the first to establish
this scale; it will be a great moral support Q the smaller outfits and will
tend to put the business generally o n a nor solid basis. We trust that
the men themselves will realize that they can not expect perman~t
employment a a wage greater than the business afford to pay.
All the banks of Casper have given thism matter o wages very care,
full consideration; we arr unanimous in III decisions as to thiss scale ad
we now wh to go IN record to the effect that we shall not condone
the payment of a higher wage.
Trusting that all concerned will eceye consider this in the
same spirit in which it is written, =
Very truly yours,

PROHIBITIONS DEBTS.

A writer in the Globe-Democrat has summed up
the debts of prohibition out of recent daily news and
il is illuminating:
A New York man who was worth $i2, 900 when he
became police commissioner four years ago has since
hat time deposited more than 100000.
A Newark IN. j. prohibition enforcement agent
hns been fined $1,000 and sentenced to three years
IN prison for extorting a large sum from a man &C.
cused of violating the Volstead act.
The Binghamton IN. W prohibition enforcement
oaice has had to be reorganized, the faithless being
ousted to make room for another personnel that, it
is hoped, will prove trustworthy.
Chicago's police force has been accused of profit
ably winking at the breaking of dry laws. Our own
st Louis police, Mr.. Shupp has said, are not in SYM
9athy with the Eighteenth amendment.
Just where can sincere sympathy with that amend
ment be found? Such instances as the Joplin preach
or who turned bootlegger. or the Oklahoma City po-
lice chief who resigned because Of his confessed in
ability TO compete with the booze vendors, creep into
the news because of their jocular twist. But there
IS nothing joculnr in the spectacle Of judges ques-
tioning Jurors as to whether they will convict IN
vociferations from various official quarters that pro-
hibtion must be enforced because it is the law"
The United States, however, is not alone in its pro-
aibition troubles. Norway is finding difficulty in
maintaining its restrictions, mild and even tentative
hough they be in comparison with our 99h per cent
serboten. Liquor smuggling has developed into such
n industry in Norway that the Storthing has voted
IS approval of the order in council issued by the gov
,rnment last month to extend the territorial waters, as
-egards customs, from the three-mile to a ten-mile
init. That such act will p~recipitate international
COMPLICATIONS is acknowledged, but that horn of the
dilemma seems to be considered less uncomfortable
han the other.
Graft, unemployment, impairment of character,
ineering or ugly contempt for authority, lawlessness
N an unprecedented scale-such are the debts to be
,laced in the balance against what credits may be
,cnjured by meaningless statistics in behalf of pro-
hibition. It is a dreary, sinister accounting.

"In the light of present economic uncertainty and
vital concern in speedy rehabilitation of the country
rs a WHOLE" observes the San Francisco Chronicle,
each individual citizen owes II to himself, as well as
o the nation, to give his best thought and earnest en-
ieavors to adequate solution of the common problem.
{ is up to each and every one of us to get down to
brass tacks and to eradicate the evils responsible for
aotoriously bad conditions.

mental principles of plain, old-fashioned honesty.
Learned men may bubble over elaborate theories and
schemes for getting this country back to normal, but
Unless we develop and encourage regard and respect

doomed to failure.
For the unscrupulous butcher who keeps his hand

JUSTIFIED. LIE TRUE.

The World Peace Foundation attempts to prove
hat the United States, in the 1871 years of its exist
ence, has spent four-ffths of all its disbursements
,ither for war or things relating to war. Assuming
hat to be true, how would the Foundation have had
it different? Is the Foundation prepared to say that
he Revolution should not have been fought, that we
hould not have resisted British Entertainments in
1912, that we should have metaphorically kissed the
southern states goodbye, that we should not have
LEANED up Cuba, or that we should not have taken up
arms against the Germans?
Our people may rest assured that the war record of
the United States can compare favorably with that of
any other nation in the world. Never have we un-
dertaken a campaign of conquest, our wars always
having been inspired by a determination to resist en-
croachment on American rights or to uphold the SOL
idarity of the Union. The United States will do no
less in the future, regardless of the state of world
ornaments. America is, however, always willing to
submit all proper questions to arbitration, and the
ultimate purpose of the armament conference is to
advance the cause Of arbitration as a means Of set
Ting international controversies, rather than a resort
to arms.
