Clara Not Present.

WE ARE extremely g%rntified to be informed that
w the itincrant claw hammer lady of California
has not been found in our peaceful midst. 1t
would have been a disgrace difficult 10 live down,
had it occurred that she selected Casper, out Of
all the places in the wide world as a sanctuary.
There could be but one reason for such selection,
and criminals have often operated successfully
upon the theory. Casper is such n busy metrop
oils and people so completely absorbed with their
own affairs, the very holiness of the plan TO seek
asylum here could easily have succeeded. With a
change of costume, her hair hennaed, her claw
hammer secure in a safety-deposit box who could
have proved that it was Clara Phillips or just
some honest and ambitious young woman come to
pitch her tent in our thriving community ard wrest
a livelihood from the prosperity that here fbounds.
Thanks, however, TO a ~vigilant press and n po-
lice department that never sleeps, no such chances
were taken.
And today our peaceful, pious and puritanical
community harbors no throwback TO the stone
age. Our balmy Casper zephyrs watt no faint of
the crude cave dweller of n remote and barbarous
period. Our escutcheoni remains untarnished,
either by contact with or influence of scandal of
other and less godly portions of the republic.

An Illuminating Anecdote

Hon. JAMES H. MacLafferty, a brand new Re
Ii publican representatives from California, made
his maiden speech recently and it was on the ship
aid bill. He related an anecdote which was inter
esting and decidedly pointed to illustrate the alb
sence of the American Flag on the ocean before
the war. He was coming back to America on an
English boat in 1916 when the passengers decried
a little vessel bobbing up and down on the waves,
which as they grew nearer proved to be a small
American steamer bound to Japan from Puget
Sound. As she broke out the Stars and Stripes the
British captain exclaimed: ooh. by Joye, she is
an American! I wonder what she is doing so far
away from shore" And now British propaganda.

Beauty and Culture.

ITO HAVE democracy is not enough; to have lib
L erty and equality is not enough We need great
men TO give us beauty which alone breeds happi-
ness, and il only the cult of beauty-beauty of
person as with the Greeks, beauty of manners, as
with the ancient regime of France, and beauty of
environment-were substituted for and practiced
as assiduously and unrelentingly as is the cult of
wealth what a race would result therefrom.
The indifference of modern life to ugliness is
one of its most pronounced features, and is assur-
eddy, leaving its traces on the physiognomy of the
men and women of today. We are not as good
looking as We once were, and it would be diff
fcult to conceive anything much more unpreposses-
sing physically than the average successful bust
ness man-flabby, pasty. and owlish. with his
hideous tortoiseshell s~pectacles and his tendency
to embonpoint.
ed that beauty is at least as desirable a thing as
utilitarianism, and that poets are more precious
in all except dollars than are rillionaires, we
should have made some little progress along the
road to culture and toward the breeding of su.
permen.

Value of Seaway Project.

COURTS in the middle west before which traffic
~ ofenses and casualties are investigated, wear
led of the grind which produces no results in cure,
have turned TO ingenuity outside the law books
and are driving lessons home TO the reckless by
new and original methods. They have reached
the conclusion that fines are almost useless and
that imprisonment, though better, is not so much
better as alone TO be an adequate remedy. So they
are taking speed offenders to morgues and hos
pitfalls, where they can sea the results of their
carelessncss or recklessness, and the latest device
is to send drivers who have killed or injured people
before a commission in lunacy for examination.
That last, apparently, was a happy thought-it
creates a serious impression and leaves a sort of
brand that does not soon wear out of the minds
either of those who thus are tested for insanity
or of their neighbors.
Automobile killings and injuries are many more
in the p%opulous centers, but the proportions are
maintained in the less populous districts. There
are enough of them everywhere, however, to en-
gage the attention of those in authority, looking
to, a reduction to the point of perfect safety. 3
Almost any means, in the way of punishment

the local courts are urged to not only try out some
Of the ingenious methods successful elsewhere, but
to originate their own and apply them as seems in
their judgment wise.

4 Wrong Righted.

ONE FEATURE of the treaty of Versailles which
" provoked much criticism was the retention by
Japan of the S%hantung territory, which Germany
extorted from China after the Boxer uprising and
which Japan captured from the Germans in the
world war. This rewarding of Japan at the ex-
pense of another. ally, China, irritated all sense
of justice and was one of the reproaches aimed
at President Wilson in the fight on the treaty.
The Japanese proved sensitive to the situation
and asserted their readiness to return the territory
to China on mutual agreement. This was effected
during the Washington conference on the Pacific
and naval limitation through the good offices of
America and Britain. The Japanese have now
made good their word, signing a treaty with China
restoring the land, the Chinese agreeing to REIN
.burse Japan for expenditures on the concessions.
This was one wrong committed at Versailles that
was righted through the action of the Harding
administration, as the japanese acknowledge in
the statement that ait is a triumph for American
unselfish interest in its endeavor to establish per-
manent peace

Enlightened Opinion.

THE MANNER of bringing understanding to the
L people is of less consequence than that they
have understanding. An enlightened public opin-
ion is the real hope of the country. Old methods
or new to spread information, it matters not. All
honest and wellr aiming folks desire the best that
can be secured IL public affairs and administra.
ton. regardless of politics or partisan prejudice.
1t has been demonstrated repeatedly of recent
years to the ~iscomfitur of leading parties. The
independent, enlightened voter has voted his sen-
timents, that is all. That is what he is likely to
continue to do, and it is due notice to the parties

Thecurious method ofhlling port
land cement sacks-6lling them
upside down after they have been
tied-is astriking exampleo prog
ress made in industrial processes.
Until twenty years ago, cement
sacks were filed practically as al
other sacks always had been. You
had a huge bin Of this 6ner-than-
Hour material. A workman at the
door Of the bin hung a sack up,
with its mouth open, on a wooden
frame and filed it with an ordi-
nary shovel Then he set il on a
scale, and with a hand scoop adj
justed the weight Of the contents
to the exact "a pounds required,
after which he tied the sack by
hand and tossed il on a truck to
be hauled into a freight car.
Thatwssth way sslittle as twenty
years ago, and no one had thought
much Of doing it differently.
But now what happens?
The cement is taken from the
bin by an automatic conveyor-a
moving belt or bucket chain-and
elevateda and dumped into the hop
per Of a filling machine. This is a
small bin with an elaborate mech
anism including a fan inside; and
atthe bottom of it is a 1-inch spout
through which the cement flows
like water. The filler sits at the
spout Sacks have been brought to
him already tied at the top but
with an opening guarded by a
valve at the bottom. The filler slips
the opening over the spout and
turns on the cement When the
sack is Glled to exactly "a pounds
it tips a scale, automatically turns
of the cement, and with a little
push from the filler falls on an
other moving belt that carries it
out and drops it at the freight car
door.
BY the old method, a team Of four
men could Fill and load 1 900 sacks
aday. By the new method, a sim
liar team can ELL and load 5000.
The filling machine is costly, and
royalties must be paid on the valve
sack process, but the new arrange
ment has meant a considerable
labor saving. 1t has meant espe-
cially that the manufacturer have
been able to get their product out
more promptly to users during the
rush period of summer and fall.
Forinthat period laborof thekind
required for sackng and loading
is generally hard to get.
Even with the improvements, a
medium sized plant-one produc-
ing a million barrels of cement a
year and employing not more than
300 people altogether-must nor
mally employ6o people in its sack
ing and loading department

NY COUNTRY, ",TIs OF THEE"

When DIR. Samuel Francis Smith
wrote the patriotic song, America"
it had five stanzas, instead of four,
as at present. Afterwards, some An
glomaniacs suppressed the third stan.
"a for. fear of offending their British
acquaintance. Here is the suppress
ed verse. which should be included in
every copy Of the familiar song:
No more shall tyrants here,
With naughty steps appear.
And soldier bands.
No more shall tyrants tread
Above the patriotic dead,
No more our blood be shed
By alien hands.
"The song was written at Andover
during my student life there think
in the winter of 1892. 1t was first
used publicly at Sunday school Gel
ebration of July 4 in the Park Street
church, Boston. I had in my posses
sion a quantity of German song books,
from which l was selecting such mll-
sic as pleased me, and finding God
Save the King proceeded to give il
the ring OF American republican pa
triotism."
