fine quality Of his mind, and his rev.

There is a general responsibility
we all have in this whole matter. The

hundreds who have connived at this

This incident illustrates to us the
real end and purpose of education and
religion. Poetry is spiritual product
and religion is the consciousness of
the universe.

who are trying to be like children.
"There are many people in this
town who object decidedly to the
dancing introduced or permitted In
the public schools. Every church in

institution like school has no right

which makes thoughtful people grieve.
The same thing may be said of dane
ing at Chautauqua. 1t is defeating the
very purpose Of Chautauqua. As
fact scores of young people are kept
from the enjoyment of the course by
preparations for the dance. And 1t
is all so unnecessary. If parents will
not attend to their children's teeth
and eyes the school will have to do 1t.

CUT OUT THE

The Tribune has received the following commune
cation through the mails from one of the best and
most highly respected citizens Of Casper. 1t comes
from a man in sore distress. One near and dear TO
him lies on a bed of pain and at the same time has
been compelled to suffer additional torture because
city authorities instead of enforcing ordinances made
in the interest of all, permit ordinances TO be total
ly disregarded to the annoyance of all.
We have a mayor, a police force and a city coun-
ell. Among them they are empowered to make and
enforce the laws of the city. The laws have been
made and written on the records but many of them
are not enforced.
Casper is too large a city to run at loose ends. Citi-
zens aye entitled to relief from public annoyances.
There is no sense in passing the buck to the police de-
partment. That department is helpless and hopeless,
in matters of efficiency in sworn duty. The council
is fully cognizant of the fact and yet it suffers the
same old condition to exist. Every once so often the
mayor appoints a new chief the council confirms and
we all hope. The same old mess ensues. The new
duty. Either the mayor is a poor picker or he hasn't
any material from which to pick.
The plea of the citizen, which follows ought GER
tainly to arouse some interest at the city hall and if
they are not all dead down at that institution it ought
to command some action in relief. Here is the COM
munication:
az ask your assistance in an effort to close the cut
outs.
lowing to sickness in my family, / have been at
home for the last week, and there is not an hour of
the day that trucks, automobiles and motorcycles do
not pass, making enough noise to awaken the dead.
81 suggest that the papers, the police and the mo-
tor club make an effort to have sane handling of
trucks, automobiles and motorcycles, especially in the
matter of noise and speed
81 also suggest that the motor club have members
given authority by the city, so that they can assist
the police in enforcing our automobile ordinances.

vIsIoNARIEs OPPOSE TARIFF

The internationalists with whom we have come in
contact afford no great reinsurance. We fear, that
to be a successful internationalist, requires greater
vision than our home brewed specimens exhibit. They
do not seem to be all-inclusive. They can function
all right for Europe but somehow they cannot include
America in their calculations. Mr.. Wilson was a fair
example. He could develop a hot box on every Jour
nal of his typewriter making international dope to
regulate the rest of the universe, but he never gen.
Grated any steam respecting a rather important unit
in ordinary international calculations known mostly
as America America could shift for herself. She
needed no consideration. Wilson and the other in
ternationalsts had their heads in the clouds contem-
plating the higher and nobler things. The American
people after a time devised a hot box of their own in
which they disposed of Mr.. Wilson, so that ended his
activities. He left some followers who pursue his
teachings and even would enforce them at this late
date. They would especially apply their information
ahstic views to matters of tariff now in process of
framing in congress, and as usual their care is for
Europeans not for Americans. They oppose the i'm
position of import duties on European goods that

WHY II STOLE.

Almost any plea apparently goes these days in ex-
%tenuation of wrong doing. The excuses offered are
often ingenuously ludicrous. A doctor, with a diploma
from a reputable school, enjoying a lucrative prac-
tice, came into a New York court the other day and
testified on behalf of an 18-year-old girl who was
charged with theft. He told the court that the rea-
son the girl took things to which she had no right or
title was because of her thyroid gland, which ap-
peared from the testimony to be doing practically no
thyroiding at all. The doctor stated that persons suf-
fering like the girl was known to be, often had a
mania for accommodating property by the simple pro-
cess of annexation. The books were full of many sad
cases. The girl herself was all right, but the gland
was thoroughly unreliable and even disreputable.
The court was merciful after hearing the expert
testimony of the doctor and giving it judicial consid-
Grafton; and notwithstanding Acknowledgement on the
girls part that she did appropriate clothing, jewelry
and other property to her own use she was paroled
with instructions to the doctor to get busy on quick
repairs on that thyroid gland.

One of the busiest bodies in the world in the next
year will be the Christian Endeavor society, if it
makes good its slogan-"A Warless World By 1928"
The present situation in Europe is not reassuring, but
still wars end as suddenly as they begin and the world
is war-worn and ~war-weary and peace is craved by
the peoples whose nationals are even now engaged in
strife.
Mr.. Harding has taken the first great step in aid of
the Christian Endeavor's realization of its great OBJ
ject. When the great nations of the world accent
with aiacrity the invitation of a power devoted to
peace to talk ways and means of establishing perma.
nent understandings to avoid war and something tan
gible comes of it, the smaller powers will, through the
power of example find means of composing their diff
ferences.
The Christian Endeavor society has chosen a brave
and worthy slogan and Christian nations should assist
in making the dream come true.

COASTER DISAPPEARS.


While Leonard and Wilbert Marti,
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. William Marti,
were making some purchases in a
local grocery store on Minnesota street,
Saturday morning at about 9 O'Clock,
their coaster, which they had left
standing out on the sidewalk, myster-
iously !disa ppeared, and in spite of the
fact that the boys had completed their
shopping and Wase out on the sidewalk
in less than quarter Of an hour, no
trace Of it could be found. It is
believed that some little boy took the
coaster along without realizing that it
was someone .else's property and that
the parents will seethat it is returned
to the rightful owners upon learning
their identity, The missing coaster is
the product Of the White Wagon Works
and was in good condition when i
Disappeared.
