Political Ping Pong

Though Hearst is on the sea and
Hylan on the shore. to and fro be
tween them still flies the Democratic
nomination.. Out over the rocking
hillows goes Hylan's passionate re
nunciation Of the honor in favor of
Hearst, Back by radio surely Will
come Hearst's declaration that far
be II from him to accept q party
mandate when so noble statesman
as Hylan should lead the Democracy
to victory.
Now and then, to lend the spice of
variety to an otherwise monotonous
game, Hearst nominates Fiorello La
Guardia as the Republican standard
bearer. That, however, is trivial by
play, and La Guardia does not even
register receptiveness when it hap
pens.
Watchers on the side lines some
times suspect that Mr.. Hearst has a

namely, that of advertising by public
imitation the two characters AL
pkonse and CASTOR, who for twenty
years in his newspapers have im-
plored each other to take the prece-
dence.
In any event. NM. Alphonse and
CASTOR never have supplied to Mr.
Hearst's readers any entertainment
moro enjoyable than the one which
ne is now enaoting with Mr.. Hylan
as bowling partner.
OF course. the act Will end It has

Europe at psychological moments.

Hearst's most unhappy years, are

If such should b his fate he would
be compelled t. step out in front Of

Sir: Your correspondent Raymond
NJ. Hood finds fault with the article
on prohibition, taken from THE Man
facturcrs Record in Sundays Trib-
une. He asks why three questions re-
garding the personal observance of
prohibition by the men quoted are not
answered. He says "it is probable that
you would receive an 85.5 per cent
silence on question one and 98.5 per
cent silence on questions two and
three Further on he says, Il am in
clned to believe that the majority of
these men prefer answering questions
Of this sort about their fellow men
rather than about themselves"

Licensing the Shady

For years the progressive mem
bers of the Stock Exchange and a
practically unanimous public opinion
outside Of it have carried on cam
paign to induce the exchange to do
its own police and housekeeping
work.
Little argument has been needed
to establish that the exchange or
ganization is able to exercise a con-
troll more thorough and beneficial
than any public regulating agency
possibly can. The pressures, direct
and indirect, Il can exercise are per-
vasive and persuasive. No member
Of the exchange can defy the disci-
pllne Of his fellows
At last. under the presidency of
Seymour L. Cromwell, the exchange
has head who is not only willing to
provide safeguards against reckless
and dishonest practices but already
has secured their adoption. Hence
forward there will be examination Of
the books Of Stock Exchange houses,
and the danger of failures or of bad
practice is now practically negli-
gible.
Under these circumstances, for
any one to ask for license system,
with the risk great that the license
bureau will fall into control Of petty
politicians and certainty that
swindlers will point to easily OBJ
tanned licenses as certificates Of
character and of reliability, seems
folly. The new Stock Exchange
broom should surely be given a
chance to show whether or not it
sweeps clean.
Others besides the Stock Exchange
have responsibility-the newspapers,
for example Deny the use of adver-
tislng columns to shady concerns and
few would survive. The Tribune re-
fers with some pride to the fact that
these concerns were unable to adver-
tise in The Tribune at a time when
their copy was acceptable elsewhere.
The District Attorney also has re-
sponsibility-namely, to apply to
swindlers who persist the full rigors
of the law. But in the main the best
preventive measures arc in vigilance
| by honest brokers and in denial Of
publicity. To establish a license sys-
TEN and to rely on it would be to dc
harm rather than good.

On Saturday evening last, Joseph
Morgan passed to the Great I'm
known, whence no traveller returns.
The passing Of Mr.. Morgan takes
from our midst one of the few real
old-timers and pioneers Of the Snake
River Valley. The deceased came
to the valley in company with his
brother, Dave. In 1871. They es-
tablised a trading post with the In
dams. At that time there were few
white men here. but many Ute In
dams. Before coming to Snake
River Dave and Joseph Morgan had
a trading post between Craig and
Hayden. at what is known as Nor
gan Bottom. MI. Morgan did much
in the development of northern Gallo
RADIO and southern Wyoming. He
was highly respected in the COM
munities where he lived. A wife and
eight children survice Mr.. Morgan;
also four brothers and two sisters.
all of whom, excepting n brother,
Will, came to attend the funeral. The
children who survive are Mrs. Ike
Montgomery. Mrs. Thos. Kilgore,
Walter and Samuel, Of Savery, and
Mrs. Dennis linn and William Nor
gan of Baggs.
Funeral services were
by Rev. F. c. Wissenbach, at the
Morgan home at 2 o'clock on Mon
day afternoon. Interment was made
in the Reader cemetery.
Three quite serious accidents oc-
Cured in Snake River last week.
While driving a grain binder Wilbur
Clark had the misfortune to cut n
of his feet real badly.
Ed Neal and Benny Tamney are
suffering from broken bones. Mr..
Neal had his leg broken and Benny
received a badly brown wrist when
a horse fell on him. DR.. Noyes at
tended the injured ones and they
are now recovering nicely.
Miss Lillian Mitts is now ataying
at the OVO ranch south Of Dixon.
She drives to and from her work
each day in her flivver.
Mr.. and Mrs. Vic Williams and
daughter, Billy. returned Friday from
Rifle, Colo, where they went for q
truck load Of fruit. On the way
back they broke an axle and had to
camp ten miles north Of Craig and
wait for the garage man from Dixon
to bring repairs.
John Gooldy Of Savery transacted
business in Dixon or Friday.
Mr.. Moore, representing the Kirk
endall Shoe Co., visited the Snake
River merchants last week.
