Cheyenne County
High School

Since school closed last spring the
County High School system has ex-
paaded SO that 1t NO longeris compos-
ed of one school at the county seat,
but includes all the school here, which
will hereafter be known as the Centr al
school and four other branches-one
at Kit Carson and one at Arapahoe,
each to have four teachers the coming
y a.: and one at First View and one
Mt Wild Horse each to have one teach
er and all under the same manage
ment, viz:-that OF the County High
School committee.
These branches will have very little
effect on the attendance at the Central
building in Cheyenne Wells. So far
as Is known none of them will take
any pupils from the Central school
except Arapahoe, and that but very
few, about five. It seems that the
/ Arapahoe school will have an ENROLL
ment of about ,wenty-seven. Kit Carson
about forty, First View about ten and
Wild Horse about sixteen. ArapahOe
and Kit Carson having calls for the
first three years of High School work
and the other two having only one
teacher for the first years work. II
all the pupils come to the Central
building that should come, there will
be Freshman class this year of about
twenty-five or thirty ut this place.
1t is expected, that the branches
will be opened on Tuesday, the 9th
day of September, at their respective
school houses, but the Central school
at Cheyenne Wells cannot open until
the new building can be occupied,
which We think will be about the 10Th
Of September and hence that date is
the probable date OF opening OF school
here in the County Seat. However,
all students should watch the papers
for further announcements.
1t seems as though rooming de-
partment at Cheyenne Wells, under
the management of the High School
cannot be run this year owing to the
fact that no building seems available,
hence it will be necessary for the
pupils to find rooms with the people
of the town as was largely done last
year. II those able to accommodate
pupils in this way will report the in
formation and price to me 1t will great
ly assist the pupils. The High School
Is working to secure board ut very
moderate rates to the pupils. Furth-
er announcement Of this will be made
ut later date.

Yet eight years of Democratic rule passed with the Fi pnos in what MT. Bryan has described bondage" and "subjugation" victims of imperial policy"
 The progress of the Filpinos in less than quar- ter of century has been phenomenal. No other people had advanced far in brief time. Possible, probably. they all ready for the government of themselves-f left to themselves.
 That they may not be left to themselves is, suppose the chief reason why the report of the mission advocate continued control for a time until thei rintegrity against outside fcrces may assured.
 There is hint of that in the call of President Harding for disarmament conference in which. according to Mrs David Lawrence he indicated that he would like to have the powers, including Japan, record guaranteeing the territorial integrity of the Philippines whenever independence shall be decided upon by the United States"
 With such guaranty believe the Philippines would be quickly granted independence. Then the United States could honorably lay down it's burden.

Give Mr. lssker A Chance

We do not know whether MT Lasker the new head of the shipping board. make that board more efficient than his predecessors had done and under them it marvel of ineffciency. But in office hardly two months Mir. Lasker should be spared the partisan criticism which some Demo cratic congressman disposed to visit upon him.
 Considering the laundering of the board under Democratic administration and the deplorable con- dion which they left its affairs and the trail of waste and incompetency which they left, criticism should he withheld least until MT. Lasker has had as least time remove the debris and get at ruins. Certainly it would be easier to than to clear away the wreckage.
 IL may be doubted whether anyone succeed sn this work under American system which so contemplats that money appropriated for any great undertaking should first be given to the rlosnent of favored persons, and whatever else remain the nominal object: that the prime thing is the and maintenance of overhead.
 The policy of this country has been opposed to government merchant marine. For genera items we have lamented the disappearance of flag from the seas-that trade carried foreign bottoms It seemed to be shortsighted policy. but was rather enforced by politics. and doubt but for the spur of the it would have been pursued for other generations.
 But the war. which increased the demand for carriers lessened the number of them and brought almost standstill shpbuding in countries which had made great national industry Ours the cnly nation with time enough and money enough to take up and carry the industry
 Surely that was the time to create merchant marine and went about it. And what muddle have made of it. And what weight of expense has been thrown upon the nation. Within the last year the operations of the board piled up deficit amounting third of billion dollars. Nothing show for the wasted millions except lot of vessels nesng in mud flats here and there along coasts Five years have afforded nothing but proof of incompetency
 Perhaps 1t would have been better at the begin ming of Republican administration to wipe out the shipping board to sell the ships the best terms possible to whoever would buy, Americans e foreigners Perhaps in the event of failure to sell would better write off losses and forget them, taking only that ship building maintenance operations should not add another penny to losses.
 But that would not have been easy thing to do Anyhow have undertaken to try again to pull hole Mir Lasker thinks it be done We do whether he do it not But cer- tasnly there been time enough yet for fair trial

of the tax burden. Even churches felt disarmament hopeless at the time.
 But the committee kept on writing letters and making appeals, and in two months the tide turned. No che will ever know how much the women did to turn public opinion and off cial interest towards disarmament. Once it began to be regarded as a possibility, organizations everywler have lent their support. Women's organizations in 37 states are work ing for the three points.
 The women's disarmament com mittee is not confining its activities to this counter, but is writing to women's organizations in England. France, Japan and Italy regarding the three points of paramount inter America. There has not been time for answers to these letters to come to America.
 It is known already that women in these countries are awake to the inn portance of the conference. To take enc country, Japan. for instance, there is a group of women similar to the women's disarmament commit tee in this called. called the Ladies Association for Peace" That they have public sentiment with them is indicated by the report of Ozaki, the forEer I.-inister of justice, that of 100000 people to who-i he had spoken regarding disarmament. 94 per cent were in favor of it.

Jewett. chief engineer of Western Elec- trc company, who has lately returned from tour of Europe where all the countries preparing to har- water power. Even in England where water power sites comparatively few and coal is rea- lively abundant. the movement identification is noticeable. In continental Europe it is proposed to electrify the railroads.
 The immediate obstacle is the money situation. not the lack of money but the rate of exchange. Promoters hesietate to borrow 50 per cent money which will have to be paid back 100 per cent money. And therein lies the hesitancy of European countries to incur any sort of obligation. That accounts than any other cause for the commer- cal and financial duness of the world which is reflected in the falling exports from this country

 Tn those countries where there is a scarcity of coal hydro-electrical development vital impor- tance In England while tremendous electrical devel- opment is being considered the absence of any con- siderable water powers and sthe relative abundance of coal gives this problem somewhat different trend than in Continental Europe.
 While the continental projects contemplate the development linking together of hydro electrical plants, 1t is probable that in England the development will be along the lines of establishing gen. 2 eratng stations at the mine mouths and linking these stations together and main line dis trbution systems for supplying the wherever needed over England.

 Tn the Scandinavian countries, the fuel situa- ton makes substitute for power derived from coal matter of economic life and death. There is talk of combining the natural resources of Norway swe- den and Denmark. The current could be distributed where it was needed. Norway has enormous natural water resources, Sweden not much, and Denmark very little. The current would have to be carried by submarine cable in many cases. and this fact presents interesting engineering difficulties However Copenhagen utilities are now being run to considerable extent by Swedish power brought over from Elsinore by submarine cable'

WOMEN AND DISARMAMENT

equal status with men in government and before the law.
 From this standpoint alone" said Miss Paul, the party is interested in the disarmament conference, though undoubtedly many members of the party, as individuals. hold strong views on the subject of disarma- ment.
 'sThe Woman's party holds that women should be equally considered with men in making this decision. and a meeting will be held on August 12 at our Watch Tower in Washing ton a which committee on the dis armament conference will be ap- pointed. After that. pressure will be brought to bear upon the admin istration. so that at least one woman may be on the commission to discuss disarmament"
 Pitiless Publicity Urged
 Delegates to represent the people is one of three aims for which the Women's Committee for World Dis armament is working. The other two are that there shall be full publicity regarding proceedings, and that side issues shall not be allowed to dis tract the conference from its pur- pose-to make some decision regard ing reduction of ornaments.
 The sentiment in favor .of open diplomacy is growing. People are beginning to demand that officials remember that they are representa- tives of the public and to insist that the day of trusting blindly to official dom to do the right thing is about over.
 "The disarmament conference should be a public meeting" declared Miss Wold. ''The people should know what steps are taken as the meetings proceed, so that criticism favorable and unfavorahle. can be voiced by the people before final steps are taken. Then, too, if there is a failure to get results at the con- ference. the people would know who is responsible"
 The other point Is that disarma : ment should be the supreme ques- ton, and not forgotten in discussions on what to do with Yap and the Philippines, where to put the surplus population of Japan, and is the Mon- roe Doctrine too antiquated for use and other international subjects. any 1 one of which might be debated fol | days without noticeable progres: | toward an understanding. The wom- | ems disarmament committee fears | that if preliminary conferences and l side questions are introduced at tho meetings. reduction or arnameu U 1 may be put off from day to day. and l possibly in the end postponed 'tr | some more suitable date"
 To bring these three points to the ! attention of women throughout tho l country, and then to have them point | out their wishes to their government l representatives, is keeping the dis l armament committee busy
 When the committee started, nc | other organization could he found ! that would back so unpromising { cause as disarmament Congress wal
