GONE TO OBLIVION.

Former Vice President Marshall continues, at times
only. to radiate cheerful philosophy and solemn
truths. The most notable of the latter is-"the league
of nations has gone glimmering into oblivion. 1t was
a schoolboy's dream of an hour; but nevertheless a
great ideal" Sure, it was all that. Instead Of being
sor's dream of several year. and, We presume, it is still
being dreamed by the same professor. OF course the
league was a great ideal. World peace has always
been a great ideal, and always viii be, but it must be
approached by practical means, one of which was not
the league of nations. The essence of the league was
force-peace was to be forced upon the world. From
the moment the theory of peace by force was permit
ted to dominate the contrivers of the league, their
plan was doomed to failure.
President Harding's armament conference will pro-
coed on a principle, the direct anti-thesis Of that
which dominated the league commission Of the Paris
peace conference. Representatives OF nations seeking
to remove the causes of wars so that ornaments may
be limited will group themselves about q conference
tSble, and seek to arrive at mutual understandings re-
garding international controversies. They may sue
coed and they may net, but at any rate, the world will
have the benefit of the exchange of views, and can
lose nothing. II the conference fails, its members will
no worse off than they were before the meetings were
called. But il, as is confidently anticipated, mutual
concessions bring mutual agreements, the world will
have benefited immeasurably by a lessening of bloody
wars and by reductions in the burdens of maintaining
huge ornaments
In the league of nations every member was COM
PEELED to surrender sovereignty to n super-state to be
coerced by that league covenant. In the ornaments
conference all that is lacking. There is no abdication
those who may violate any agreements entered into.
That is the spirit of the meeting, and that Is the spirit
which, it is confidently believed, will insure its sue
cess.

THE BATTLE LINE OF FINANCE.

When knishthood was in flower, waging war was .
comparatively simple matter. After levying on each
baron for a certain number of men-at-arms, a GER
tain number of horses, a certain quantity Of forage
and food and so on, the feudal king set blithely forth,
leaving the civil population to shift for itself. Cred
it institutions were unknown in those gallant days,
and nobody worried about advancing price levels.
Modern wars are more complex, and they are fought
as effectively in the home trenches as in the front
lines. The manipulation and manufacturers Of credit
are as vital as the maneuvers of armies. The STRAIT
egg of Wall Street was as important during the world
war as the strategy of Chateau Thierry, and not with
out its drama, although next to nothing was known
about it.
"Now," as Sir Philip Gibbs would say, "t can be
told" For the full facts have just come to light about
the operations Of the Federal Reserve bank Of New
York, which was to the financial forces Of the United
States what Pershing's headquarters were to our arm
les in France; and the despotic power exercised by a
semi-secret and extralevel money committee" in
New York has been clearly revealed. At one period
this committee supplemented funds on the New York
stock exchange to avert a collapse in security values
at another time it withheld funds to avert an orgy of
speculation, and its autocratic control was not lifted
until persistent public opinion demanded 1.-THE Ma.

ON OTHER PEOPLES REPUTATION.

A candidate is in pretty hard lines when he has
nothing to present on behalf OF his candidacy excep.
the character of the gentlemen who signed his peu-
ton of nomination. That is exactly Mr.. Giblin's po-
sition. He can show no single qualification, no bust
ness capacity, no special knowledge fitting him TO be-
come the mayor Of Casper. He depends upon the re-
spectability Of his petitioners, not upon his own.
We all know how easy it is to find men willing to
sign anybody's petition enabling him to run for Of
fee. 1t is a mere matter of form and does not sig
Nifty even that the signers will be supporters Of the
candidate.
The character and respectabihty Of the signers is
in no sense impaired to the candidate by the mere
act Of signing. And SO Mr.. Giblin is running for Of
fee on the reputation of others. II they can stand it
Giblin ought to be pleased.
It will be a pretty cheap way Of riding into power,
II it works; but the voter is not willing to accept Mr..
Giblin on any such terms. They will want to know
what sort of performer he will be without the sus-
tanning character of his signers. They want to know
Il he is honest, clean and straight, above graft and
low cunning in his dealings. Whether he is sincere
or only pretending to desire n cleaning out Of dis
reputables and disreputable practices.
They will take his service in council for the past
year and they will take his spoken word upon the
platform and see IL they can make them dovetail-
They will have some job.

THE EXPORT OF FoopsTuFFs.

The present year, nine months of which has gone
into the record, shows a continued large export OF
foodstufs. Three times the pre-war average for
hreads.uff, twice as much for meats, twelve times the
dairy products, twice the dried and canned fruits and
n large increase in vegetable oils,
Considering the exports of breadstufs for the first
nine months of 1921 and for the same periods from
1910 to 1914, inclusive, and it will be found that dur
ing the preNwar periods our average of wheat was s4,-
O00,0 900 bushels, compared with 296. 100000 bushels
for the 1921 period; corn went from 100000
bushels, pre-war average, to 107,600,O0o up to Sep
TENDER 80, 1921; rye from 971 900 to 25,b00,00
bushels; rice from "a, 1000 900 to ass. o00, 900 pounds
barley from 5000, 900 to 20. 200, 900 bushels, total
breadstuffs from 76s,oo0,o0 to 23,774.0oo, 900
pounds.
The pre-war export of lard averaged $3.50 900
pounds. but it reached 16,000,o 900 ending September
last; bacon went from a pre-war average Of 10000,
600 to 365, 900, 900 pounds for the first nine months
of the current year; hams and shoulders from 1885,
ooo.00 to 1ss, 900, 900 pounds; total meat products
$40. 100000 to 1880, 900, 900 pounds.
Vegetable oil exports totaled 23S, 000,0 900 pounds
up to September last, compared with a pre-war record
of 1913, SOC, 1000 pounds; the largest increase was in
cottonseed oil, from 179.ooo,ooo to 1900 900
pounds. Is
Dairy products show exports of condensed milk to
have attained an average of about Ia, 900, 900 pounds
before the war, and 224, 900, 900 for the period ended
September; butter from 100000 to $500, 900
pounds; cheese from 3,850,000 to 1o,400,0 900; total
dairy products from 20,00o,ooo to 241,ooo, 900
pounds.
In the dried fruit line, apple exports pre-war and
for the 1921 period stand about the same at a trife
under 15,000,000 pounds; apricots went from 12,500,-
600 to 17,800,000 pounds; raisins from 100000 to
IL ,000, 900 pounds; peaches from 3,456, 900 to 4,1SS,-
600 and prunes from 49, ZOO, 900 to SO, 800, 900 pounds.
The aggregate Of dried fruits before the war was g.
600, 900 pounds, and 116, 900, 600 for the 1921 period.
Canned fruits increased from a value of 81, 900 in
prewar days to SO, 400, 900 lending September; can
ned fish from 1000, 900 to $4,000, 900 and canned
vegetables from 81, 000, 900 to S2,471, 900, 900.
1t Is to be expected that food exports will show
something of a decline during the ensuing year be-
cause the fields are again being utilized in Europe to
supply the wants of the people of that continent, but
the shouinp far this II anita satizfartory ubi1a
the emergency tariff law has well performed its func-
ton in protecting the American farmer from too
strenuous competition from abroad, on those commod-
titles which other nations can produce cheaper than
they can be produced here.

PROHIBITION AT CONFERENCE

1.-THE prohibition leaders are said to be determined
to compel the delegates to the peace conference to ac-
cept teetotalism while in the United States,' observes
the Chicago Tribune. "We do not think this repre-
sents the will or spirit of more than a very small mi
nority of Americans. Is is a piece of bi.otry, psre
and simple. 1t is not only not necessary to the cause
of compulsory temperance. 1t is injurious to it, for
it offends hospitality, comfy among nations, and COM
mon sense.
"The delegates win come and go. They do not rep
resent in their customs, any more than in the polit-
ical forms they represent, American principles or
Ideas. The English. Italians and Japanese represent
moiarchies. Many have titles of nobility prohibited
by our law. It would be no more sane to require
them to dispose of these than to forego their social
habits out of respect for our theories!

SOME SPANISH ATHLETE!

What sort of Bull Durham is Mr.. Giblin projecting
in his pretended publication palavering?
Ask Mayor Pelton or any member of the city coun-
ell If he ever stood up in his place in that body and
pleaded for a betterment Of conditions, ever asked
for more vigor on the part Of the police department,
ever exhibited the slightest concern for the welfare
of the children and the homes Of Casper or its moral
reputation as a place in which to live?
These men will tell you they never heard a word
out of him on any such subject. Never heard him ut
ter a word or syllable publicly or privately until he
became a candidate and sought to take advantage of
the wave of disguest the people had started over open
disregard of law and decency rampant in the city.
Hypocritical sniveling is the only term that fits the
Giblin position on the moral issue.
Have former Officer Hubbard pass him the moon

WHO IS RoACH7

The Douglas Budget remarks that il the picture Of
immoral conditions is drawn true to life the city of
Casper is in need Of q change of administrations. And
further advises: Better send for Roach. He has fin
ished cleaning up Glenrock, Careyhurst and the rest
Of Converse county and should now be free to tackle
a real job. When he is through and turns over a lily
white town to a lily white administration everything
will go along swimmingly-for a month or two at
least"
Who is this Roach person7 There was some talk
along last spring about a person by that name being
placed at the head of some law enforcement PROPOSE
ton or other. What ever became Of him and his val
liant sleuths? Are they operating at present or
haven't they yet got into action? Did Roach unearth
the moonshine still on the Carey ranch?
II Roach is a cleaner up, why is he not cleaning?
There is real work to be done in every city and county
in the state, but when any of it is done local officers
do it.
