MondeH and Wyoming.

UHE VISIT of Frank w. Mondell, Republican
4 candidate for United States senator, has done
much to clear away the rubbish piled up by the
opposition while he has been attending 10 the du-
ties down at Washington. Wyoming people sent
him down there TO perform.
There is nothing like a personal visit and n
heart-to-heart talk TO reach an understanding.
There never has been any Misunderstanding be-
tween Wyoming folks and Frank Mondell. They
have AWAY simply indicated their desires and he
has always executed their will. 1t has been so
for twenty-five years, and not a single complaint
has been heard.
Now that the people have a larger Job to fill
It is quite natural that they will talk over the mat
ter of promotion with him.
If there ever was any inclination not to give
this faithful servant the advancement his faith
fulness has earned, it was but momentary and
because Misrepresentation had been made on be-
half Of another applicant.
Looking back over the long, clean and efficient
record of twenty-five years, in all of which the
people of Wyoming can take pride, in its beneficial
results to them and to the nation, there is no
cause for wonder that the people come to shake
hands with him, to hear him speak and to reas-
sure him that they will be at the polls on election
day to do their part TO elevate him to a higher
place of usefulness in their service.
1t was so, all day yesterday at his hotel head
quarters. 1t was true again last night at the Elks
hall. 1t has been true all over the state. The same
situation.
Then when John W. Hay. Charles Winter,
Frank Lucas, John Snyder and other party can
didates say that Frank Mondell is gaining strength
every day and adding strength to the state ticket,
they know what they are taking about.

Kendrick and Teapot.

NEWSPAPERS oft the Democratic persuasion
~ are devoting considerable space TO articles
headed "Kendrickis consistent stand on public oil
lands
1t may have been consistent, but was it active,
intelligent or effective?
Frank W. Mondell began TO work for oil roy
alties TO the state from leased public lands some
ten years ago and his effort enriched Wyoming this
year by more than $500 900.
Senator Hendricks only noticeable activity was
his acti-ity on the Teapot Dome lease, of which
he knew nothing at the time; a fact amply demon
strated by his i~nsistence on a 8 per cent royalty
TO the state when the lease provided for a royalty
far in excess of that.
Furthermore. Senator Kendrick voted for the
bill that made the lease possible, snd the bill was
signed by a Democratic president.
Whether the lease be good or bad-and all
indications are that 1t Is the best large lease ever
in this country-Kendrick had as much
to do with it, or more, than did Frank ". Mon

Ignorance or Iasincerity.

DEMOCRATIC PROPAGANDA is loaded with
IL gross mis-statement of fact. Is it ignorance
or deliberate intent to deceive, or both?
Republican congress blows your money" ap.
pears as a headline in one Democratic paper; when
the fact is that a Democratic administration vast
cd more money in eight years than the Repub-
licans have in eighty.
Senator Francis Il. Warren nailed the lie, and
without contradiction from any Democrat. HI
pointed out that a Republican congress in 1921
reduced the expenditures of the Democratic ad.
ministration in 1920 by more than $500, 900, 900,
or by very nearly onethird. In the course of his
statement, he said:
I'm 1920, the war over and everyone trying OF

A Vanishing Art.

One Of the things which Is going
out Of. existence along with whiskers.
horses and congress CATERS is legible
penmanship. When our grandfathers
and grandmothers received letters
from distant members of the family.
they were almost invariably able to
read them. But times have changed;
our fathers and mothers have to
strain pretty hard to translate their
correspondence nowadays.
Most persons are in the process of
50 corrupting our handwriting that
by and by it will look like a foreign
language ind only our closest friends
will be able TO translate It.
Recall the beautiful handwriting In
which h commonest business let
ter was written 90 years ago-hand-
writing whose only counterpart in
these times is the script engraving
on wedding invitations-and compare
It with the letter which your son or
your daughter writes home from col.
iege.
This modern handwriting will be
SO much thu worse thai you win
undoubtedly be ready to believe al.
most anything OF chirography s dis
NAL future.
Why are we forgetting how to
writer Because business has adopt
ed the writing machine and there is
no longer a market for admirable
penmanship. Nowadays the young
man VINO sits up all night making
a nea copy OF his letter applying COR
a job is away behind times. II he
gets that job It will be because all
the other applicants were too sick to
get out OF bed and go and talk four
minutes to a public stenographer.
Not only does present day business
not seek skiliful Denmen but in some
cases it actually tries to avoid them.
Most OF the greater business insti.
buttons In these times employ their
STATS through personne experts.
men who are very wise about the
ways of other men ard are supposed
never to. hire nm individual who Is
not suited for the Job.
Most interviews for employment,
are gained through the writing of a
letter TO one of these p-ersonne ex.
perts. M when q letter comes in
which has been iaboriously written Dy
hand the writer is deduced TO bo a
iploddlng. painstaking, Conservative
minded party; and IL he happens 70
be applying for such a position as a

and promptly forgotten.
One day a dozen candidates for a
district agency in a national drug dis
tributing corporation were sitting in
the employment room OF the home
office waiting to hear which one
would be chosen for the position.
Presently the employment manager,
who had beon interviewing each OF

Both Doomed.

John 3. KENDRICK, must either join the Re
d publican party and become a straight out Re
publican, or else he must convert his party TO his
alleged way of thinking. That is, II he is sincere
in what he processes to believe.
The senator and his party are very far apart on
the tariff issue. The senator pointing with pride
to what the Republicans accomplished without re
quiring his vote when he had his fingers crossed,
and his Democratic party bowling bloody murder
and robber tariff in frantic screams.
A house divided against itself cannot stand,
therefore both Democratic party and Kendrick are
doomed to fall. Ths former because it richly de-
serves 1t and the latter because of his insincerity.

GIBRALTAR THE UNSAFE.
No Longer the Impregnable Gibraltar
it Once Was Supposed to Be.

The Importance OF the STRAITS OF
Gibraltar TO Britain cannot be over
estimated. Eastern trade arrives IN
the Mediterranean via the Suez canal.
The Black sea the Caspian trade
recah the Mediterranean by the OAR
danelles. We take great interest IN
keeping the Suez canal and Darden-
elles open, but if shipping by these
routes and the Mediterranean trade
cannot pass the Straits OF Gibraltar
Britain must starye.
Gibralter has been regarded as an
impregnable fortress and secure naval
base which gave us control OF the
straits. The war, however. taught us
that this is now a delusion. If Spain
were hostile the rock could be
dominated by long range guns and
the dcckyard destroyed. In any event,
everything that goes on there can be
seen and reported from Spain.
The rock has been proved useless as
an aircraft base. The only effective
reply to aircraft is defensive aircraft,
and without an efficient air base at
Gibraltar not onlyl could an enemy
with an air base within one hundred
miles destroy the doekyard and town
by bombing but any enemy who could
get an aircraft carrier possibly sub
mersible--within one hundred mics
could destroy it, Aircraft are now
necessary for control Of the straits.
The later stages of the war proved
that shipping escorted by aircraft was
practically immune from submarine
attack, vet the Straits of Gibraltar
we're used freely by enemy submarine,
largely because there was no suitable
aircraft base. Service opinion now re.
