The Jogful Tomorrow.

TOMORROW is the day of good cheer throughout
Il the land. The day when families and friends
will forgather, take stock Of the blessings bestowed
upon them, forget the tolls and hardships of the
planting and harvesting. and rejoice around the
the board out of the plentitude of their store.
It is the end of the season when effort has re-
csivel ats reward and cheerfulness abounds, and
acknowledgement is made to the giver of all good.
It is the official holiday of the great republic, so
designated that all faiths and creeds render homage
TO their God in accordance with their own be
liefs, rites and ceremonies. This performed, that
the people refrain from their usual daily occupa-
tions and rejoice and make merry, each in his own
fashion.
IN lceoldaIce with the time honored custom,
Casper will observe the day in the usual ortho-
dox manner. There will be religious services at
the churches, feasting and reunions in the homes
and appropriate celebrations during the afternoon
and evening.
- Casper and Casper people have much reason for
thankfulneSs. 1t has been a year of substantial
prosperity and real advancement for the city and
the people. Many things have come TO us through
wise and honest effort. We have had no calami-
tous visitations. Our labors have been fairly re-
warded and our harvests have Welded an ample
sufficiency There is no suffering among us. We
have shelter. warmth, food and clothing.
The major blessings are all ours. Surely, peace
and contentment will not be lacking in these cir
cumstances.

Interest in Public affairs.

THE DAY WAS, when long before a boy came
L Of age it was natural for him to take an in
terest in public affairs. He knew all about the
public men OF his time and the history of those
who had gone on before In political matters, he
knew the ms and outs, the questions under discus
sion. how the parties stood with reference TO them
and what bearing they would have on the business
or social affairs of the state or country.
The situation is different today. The young fel
low Of our time takes little or no interest. wants
little or no part in public affairs and knows little
or nothing of political or governmental matters
This lack on the part OF the younger generation
is one of the reasons why so many men Of mediocre
ability get into office and why so much dissatis-
faction is heard about public officials and public
affairs generally. The younger element is not
doing its duty.
Everyone, men and women nike, should take a
keen interest in the political life OF the country
affairs of their lives. their property and their
business.
Political knowledge is one of the most fascinat-
ing studies, in or out of the books. II has to do
with people, with human nature, and there is some
thing new in il with the turning Of each page.
Instead of teaching the mere rudiments Of civil
government in high schools there should be in its
stead n brief but comprehensive course in political
science. II would give the scholar of today a bet
ter idea Of public matters than he could otherwise
gain in these busy times; and it would answer the
same purposes and afford the same advantages
that the old fashioned hoy had in his actual ex
perience and participation and the lessons imparts
ed by his father, his uncle or his neighbor who die
know and could tell him all about Il.

Bootlegging by Mail.

A new problem in the moraiities. or
at least a new variant OF an old one.
has been presented OF late to not n
faw people accustomed to cons der
themselves good citizens. performing
conscientiousiy such civic and social
duties as come to their attention.
The problem takes the shape of n
letter offering to sell prohibited liz
uors. guaranteeing the quality there
OF. and sometimes actually giving
references" by which the honesty
and de%pendability of the writer can
he ascertainedi
What. now, should the receiver OF
such a letter do: The authors of them
are self-confessed criminals, and to do
any business with them is to- share
their guilt. not through buying their
wares, OF course. for that is not in
itself Illegal, but by making both poa-
sible and profitable their vicious
trade, Naturally. IL there were no
customers of bootleggers there would
be no bootleggers. and 1t is the Gus.
toners, therefore. upon whom rests
the ultimate responsibility for the
bootlegger's existence, and for all that
he does.
The getting OF such a letter obvious
ly is an insult. because OF the impli-
cation it conveys that its recipient Is
likely to be willing to put himself in
a position with some difficulty dis
tinguishable from that Of the receiver
OF stolen goods, and another insulting
Indication is that the letter-writer
runs n risk hat his name and I'd
dress will be sen forthwith TO the
authorities so as to bring about the
Villains arrest. conviction and pun
isbment. This would be in no sense
a betrayal Of confidence. for men en-.
gagged in the commission of crime
have no claim that their condolences
shall be treated as are those OF hon.
est men.
Though the duty OF the good citizen
who gets n bootlegger's letter seems
TO be SC plain. there must be more
to the case than appears on the sur.
face, for. as a matter of fact, very
rarely. II ever. will the good citizen
do what he admits he should do-bis
part in enforcing the prohibition law
and furnishing It's violators.
For this refusal or failure there
must be a reason. and in the reason
there must be some element Of valid.

While the Getting Is Good.

''C1ET 1T, while the getting is good is an express
=" sion You have frequently heard in the past
several years.
Just what uoes it mean in the sense in which it
is commonly used?
Is it applied in urging you TO secure some worthy
thing, to obtain some worthwhile object de.
sirablc to Yourself or someone else?
Does il always mean, or imply that the transac-
tion in which it is proposed to engage is an hon
orable one, which would have the approval of good
citizens?
No, no, all the way along the line.
1t is an expression coming from the lower order
of humanity. 1t has a decidedly demoralizing and
.%depraved ring.
1t means to obtain something without reference
to the legal or moral right TO have it.
IT means to get a thing when opportunity pre-
SCENTS without consideration of others who may
have a superior interest to any interest you may
set up.
1t has to do with things of value which would not
be trusted with you, if it were known that YOU held
any such sentiments as "Get it while the getting is
good"
The whole expression smacks of dishonor, graft,
wrong and moral turpitude.
The getting of a thing is not all there is to it.
Get it, of course, but be sure the getting is COM
patible with fairness, right, honor, morality and
conscience. Otherwise don't get it. It is not
worth having and you will never enjoy it.

SMASHING Science.

pECENT to bar the study of certain
IL branches of science from schools and colleges
in certain states, are ridiculous in an age which
is as dependent on science for its mode of living
as the present one is.

titled to consideration only on condition that
he renounce all the benefits that accrue from ii.
Let him stay out of a hospital; refuse to ride on a
streetcar, train, steamship or %airplane; never talk
over a telephone or use the telegraph, wireless tel
