fairs, Just as they have from time immemoriaI and
matters relating to world peace have been subor-
dinated.
How different has been the story OF our own
country. Judge Clarke Processes to see nothing that
President Harding has done to advance the peace
of the world. His countrymen are more familiar
With the facts, as he will find when he undertakes
to convert them to the league idea. They know that
IT was President Harding who called nine nations
together in the Washington armament conference,
and so inspired the delegates that treaties were ne
~gotiated providing for big reductions in the five
largest navies in the world, and for the removal of
potential causes OF war I'm the Pacific and far east.
They know that President Harding struck straight
at the chief controversy that threatened 10 disturb
the peace of the western world, and brought Chile
and Peru together in an arbitration that will settle
n. They know that he has directed the p~acifica-
ton Of Haiti and San Domingo, and brought re-
forms TO Cuba where civil war threatened. They
know that his every act Of an international nature
has been inspired by the spirit that should control
the league OF nations but does not.
The United States has nothing TO learn from
Europe on the score of world peace, and Judge
Clarke will find that our people will not have a
kind reception for such suggestions. Rather the
nations of the old world should look to the Repub.
licun administration of this country for the last
two years, and profit by the example Of practical
measures for world peace that it has adopted.

The Wrong Angle

TN RESIGNING from the United States supreme
l. court Mr.. Justice Clarke placed the act upon
very high ground. Not so with his statement of
facts. He says he intends to maintain "a position
of independence" SO that he can "tell the truth to
the country unbiased by personal or partisan inter
est"
Judge Clarke is convinced there is a we'll defined
peace, if not the league of nations, then some other
association of nations that will work for world
peace. He intends to find an individual or group
of individuals capable of leading that movement.
Nobody can find fault with Judge Clarke's high
altruism and statements of fact up to that point,
but he reveals his true motives and his innate
democratic paItisanship when he asks "wby then
has nothing beer done by our administration dur
ing the past two years to advance the great
cause?" He would have the people believe that it
is quite impossible to advance the cause of world
ence with European affairs controls our govern
ment, and that not until We abandon our independ-
cnce of action and join some foreign league can the
United States do its full part.
Apparently Judge Clarke has been so immersed
in the judicial atmosphere that he has failed to
note what has transpired in the United States and
the rest of the world during the past two years.
The league of nations, and the individual mem
bers thereof, have been conspicuous for their utter
failure to abide by either the spirit or the letter of
the league covenant. Events have been so shaping
themselves in Asia Minor that keen observers knew
they would inevitably lead to some such catastro-
phe as we are now witnessing, yet no preventive
measure was taken. Bloody exchanges between the
Bolsheyiki and neighboring states have been of
frequent occurrance, but with no attempt on the
part of the league or its members to stop them.
Commercial considerations seem TO have governed
the nations Of Europe in all their international al.

4 Useful Actiuity

ERoM ITS CREATION the department of aeri.
l. culture has given major attention to agricul-
tural production. 1t has promoted better cultural
methods, more scientific methods of breeding and
feeding livestock, has introduced and has helped
TO develop better variety OF plants, has taught
methods of combating plant and animal disease.
and in general has done everything in its power
to promote larger production of agricultural prod.
ucts.
In recent years it has become more evident that
1t Is Just as necessary that the farmer be able
20 market his crops at fair prices as to produce
them in the first place. Under the administration
OF Secretary Wallace this phase of the depart.
ment's work has been greatly strengthened. In his
first annual report he said that marketing farm
crops is as truly n part of production as is the
growing OF the crops in the first place." and that
the dissemination of knowledge OF what to pro
duce and how best to market ii is as much needed
as the knowledge of how to produce
In short, his thought has been that the aim in
building up cur agriculture is to grow the sort of
crops needed ard to learn how to market them at
a price which viii give the farmer and the farmers
VIE n reasonable return for their labor. He has
insisted that If our agriculture is to be maintained
and his children must be fairly comparable with
the financial rewards in other occupations.
He has further insisted that the farmers wife
has a right TO the comforts, conveniences and lux.
uries equal to the right of the city wife and that the
farmers FAMILY must have educational, social and
rehgious opportunities fairly comparable to sim
liar opportunities in the city. With this general
the deparement of agriculture has 10 some
extent been reorganized during the past two wears
giving far greater attention to the business side
OF farming, to the end that farming may become
more profitable. ~
This new emphasis will make especial appeal to
the women on the farms of America. No matter
now faithfully we may labor, nor how large the
bumper crop we may succeed in raising, it is after
all, the income which determines the standards of
our family life, the comforts we can have, the nd.
vantages We can enjoy and give to our children,
and the security we can provide for ourselves in
old age.
we know, too that only by making the farm bust
ness a paying business-comparing we'll with 9th.
ers In showing on the ledger as well ms in beauty of
scenery-can we hope to keep the boys and girls on
the farm.
By this reorganization which Secretary Wallace
has made in the department of agriculture. he has
added another distinguished service to the ALREADY
long line or those which the Republican admins
tration has been able to do for agriculture. =

To the Spirit of Plau

THE CAPITAL city of the nation is one of the
L pioneers in the establishment of recreation
grounds for children. That city has had remark.
able success in its venture in this field and contin-
ues to expand and show splendid results in physi.
cal health, mental improvement, educational at
tainment, safety and well-being of its rising gener.
alton. From a meager beginning twenty-thrce muni-
cipal and twenty-five school Fairgrounds are main
tanned for the use of the children, all under one can
able head. So successful has Washington been that
her fame has spread the world over and her system
has furnished the model for almost every other city
in this country engaging in similar activities.
The Washington system is am elaborate one, and
Casper could not expect anything similar for many
years, provided CT course the idea takes root in
this city.
The most noticeable characteristic of public
Fairgrounds is the spirit of democracy exhibited.
1t has been said that the greatness Of England was
won on the cricket fields ut Elton and the great
ness Of America on the baseball diamond; and SO
today the future greatness of this country, at least,
is being determined on the public play spaces dedi-
Gated to the spirit of play. On these public play
grounds, every child has the same opportunity for
health and happiness and ali are taught to respect
the rights of others.
All differences in social positions melt away in a
game of baseball soccer, basketball or other play
ground activity. Those who excel in accuracy of
eye, rapidity of thought and good judgment in a
are the ones sought for in competitive games,
and the character of the individual is the quality
desired in a player. Children on the Fairgrounds
know only the law of association; all are pIayfel-
lows, without regard 10 creed or nationality.
The spirit of human equality is more pronounced
on a playground than any other child welfare in
%stitution. Recreation for the child means freedom
from restraint, liberty to enter any group or game
he may have a desire TO join on equal footing with
his companions. Disputes are soon settled by a

Courage and Judgment

TT REQUIRED for the president to
Il veto the bonus bill. And enough time has now
elapsed to view the whole matter calmly. 1t was a
political measure pure and simple and by lodging
an unpopular tax, congress tried to give e1-soldiers
something through various alternatives instead of
lev Sing a tax and paying the cash or its equivalent.
Business judgment and political expectancy do not
always run well together.
The president acted In accordance with ideas of
economy and good business for the nation as we'll
as for the veterans. Injured or disabled soldiers
should have every consideration at tho hands of
the American people, and this they are receiving
through the veterans bureau.
Paying out billions of dollars in bonuses, how
ever, to young men who returned to private life
sound and healthy is a different matter. 1t takes
nerve for a public official to practice public econ
omy in a political situation" such as this.
If the people, including the returned soldiers
want economy in public affairs and reduced taxes
they must not demand too much.

NINETY PER CENT of the cases brought before

ated by employees. Forty-five important decisions
have been handed down, of which forty-three have
beeA, accepted by both employers and employees.
The work of the court has so won the respect of
KansaS that labor contracts are now being drawn
without any of the usual elaborate provisions for
Cancellation and arbitration of controversies. A
is now inserted directing the prompt
reference of all such controversies to the Industrial
court. Previous to the establishment of the court
there was an average of thirteen and a half strikes

miner averaged only al working days in a year

Head Off the Disgrace

EVERYTHING on earth is being done to n,islead
IL the American people in regard to the necessity
for passing the shipping bill, if the United States
is to maintain its independence at sea.
There would be no necessity OF n shipping bill il
American ship owners were allowed to operate
their business as foreign owners are, free from
such restraining influences as our own merchant
marine laws which by handicapping American
ship owners make it impossible for them to COM
pete with the foreigner who is not hampered by
such legislation.
The great trouble is that the whole shipping
question has been made a political issue and in
stead of deciding the question on its merits and
letting the facts in the case govern their actions,
too many of orr politicians are simply fighting the
measure as a cheap means of gaining notorieity in
the hopes of securing votes from an uniformed or
misinformed public. IF our merchant marine is
allowed to drift back into the negligible position it
occupied previous to the world war it will be a ma
tional disgrace.

Now the average employment of each miner is 256
days with an estimated saving of fifty cents a ton
to the consumer of coal.
This is the tribunal against which Mr.. Gompers
iinyeighs so loudly. 1t has rendered Kansas labor
independent OF his ~dictation, has made the citizens
of the state practically immune from strikes or
Idered at his behest, and has contributed materially
to public peace and contentment. OF course Mr..
Gompers opposes it. Anything that tends to re-
move him as the r~allying point for the forces of dis
