As ENpE.CIE,D.

It looks as though the Genoa con- ference will go on, as it has been as- serted here that it would do despite the declaration Of the French and in spite of reports to the contrary.
 It is prophesied now that Russia will agree to recognize it's debts pro- vided the big loan is granted. Here appears again the matter which, when all is said and done. is Russia s chief thought-money. Let it be repeated Russia will agree to any demand if only the cash is forthcoming.
 Russia's expected refusal to say just how confscated property, incap- able of being returned, will be paid for. is justified in part France and Belgium fave refused to agree to the manner Of repayment suggested in ihe allied terms, and Russia, quite prop erly from her point of view, may well say that she sees no use in agreeing to make payment in certain man. ner when neither Of her largest cred itors have indicated that they would be satisfied with such manner of pay ment

 The scat al the head Of the Mexican government is an extremely nreear- ious one, Of course, and if thero Is one sentiment which, being aroused in Mexico would make its holder shaky that sentiment is the feeling that there Is any inclination on the part of the President 10 favor the "sringoes," ohregon, pleasure lay- ing of q certain rough cynieisn, eer- tainly sees how advantageous it would he for Mexico to have Il friend in the t'niied states, Yet it is quite clear that he values his comfort. pleasure and security more than he loves his country unselfishly, He has promised 10 do almost anything the United States wants in regard. for instance, 10 the contiscatory clauses of tho con- stitution of 1917. He has refused. however, to reduce such promises to writing, duly signed and sealed with the official stamp from which hc could not get away, which, too, he could not explain away by any plans- ible excuse to his people, for he would be held fast to those promises by this government. He has a most wholesome respect for this govern ment, incidentally.
 Any advances, therefore, must come from the United States, and the United States should be big enough to make them. There is some likeness between Russia and Mexico in this matter of verbal and written promises. Russia came to the Genoa conference on an invitation which conditioned Ter acceptance upon the basis that she understood property taken by her was to be restored or paid for. Her coming to Genoa was practically an acceptance of this condition. Now she refuses to commit herself in writ ing to what she has practically prom ised. Mexico would be willing to do the same thing, undoubtedly But there must be no writing-not for Mexico. Yes we'll do what you want" she says. If we get together we can discuss what we will do. But we don't want to write it doWn---not now.'

THE NATIONAL BUDGET.

General Dawes budget figures seem to show one thing conclusiNely according to reports in sympathy with the administration, even, and that is that as a hig business concern the United States has an accounting sys- tenn that would shame the rural mer- chant of many years ago.
 The apparent savings seem not to be all savings, and are admitted by General Dawes not to be savings: the apparent expenses are admitted not to be all expenses. Charging loans as losses and repayment of loans as profits is not quite according to Hoyle.
 II is interesting to read that ships, shoes and sealing wax" are going to help effect great saving, as, well as other material used in the depart ments. It Is more interesting, how ever, to read that the departments have set for themselves certain amounts they are trying to save out of the money given them. First of course, should come honest requests from departments for no greater ap propriations than they will need, sum discovered after careful figuring. Then should come granting of appro- priations the sum of which is fixed after a careful checking up of the items as mentioned in the requests. Then-and here is where the saving may be made that will require the greatest attention to detail and ad- herence to strict honesty, for the de- partments will be spending money al ready given to then1-there should come the attempt on the part of the departments to spend even less than the amounts granted them. It is with this idea that the saving funds have been created.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Two matters in regard to fire de- partment affairs are especially worthy of note at this time. One calls for an expenditure. the other. presumably will make for economy and better physical condition of fremen,
 Not long ago pumping apparatus was ont of repair for some days Attention was called to the danger at that time, it being necessary to take men from one station in case of need at another. Any arrangement that could be made left part of the city lacking the normal, adequate fire pro- lection. Fire Chief Noble has rec commended the purchase of a spare piece of apparatus to prevent the re- currence of this danger. The recom- mendation should be acted upon fla vorably.
 The fire board has appointed phy- sicians who are authorized to take care of the physical we'll being of fremen. They will be paid by the city. Physicians employed by tireInen other than the appointees must be re- imbursed by the firemen who seek their services. Of course this rule will not affect the employment by the fire men of their regular physicians in sickness which the tiremen would not naturally expect the city to pay for, such as illness of members of their family.
 The largest manufacturing plans. railroads and other great concerns have their own physicians. The plan was adopted, undoubtedly, as an eco- nomical measure. with the added pur- pose of seeing to it that q physician would be at the disposal of ar em- ploye when medical attention was needed. The idea makesafor q more healthy force generally, and is a good one. The city. being a great corpora ton, does well to follow the plan.

ANCIENT iBJSES,

Prisoners in the Cook county jail are probably no more deserving of sympathy than Wrongdoers confined elsewhere. There should be no maud - lin sentiment about their being abused Nevertheless the story of the iailers' whipping some thirty of them, as punishment for starting a "jail riot" dsgusts.
 Crime is ancient. The old sins will be committed always probably. But the primitive inspiration of crime reed not be allowed to enter into the forms Of punishment of it. When jailers beat prisoners for wrongdo- ing it is safe to say that their hearts are quite as the hearts of the crim- inals themselves, at the moment of inflicting such corporal punishment There is anger in their feeling, there is primitive passion. While it would be ridiculous to say to the criminal
 
 such crime in the old way because of progress. it is not ridiculous to in- sist that jailers, supposed to repre- sent intelligence, should abandon the ancient methods Of correction in fa- to be wiser and more effective.
 There is no excuse for giving cine" Meeting physical violence with physical violence reduces the law 10 spect for the law and them men who represent it, and it does no good.

MEXICO.

It is suggested in a dispatch from Washington that all that stands in the way of creating a commission to discuss the possibility Of recognizing Mexico is the lack Of a request from President Obregon, of Mexico, for such commission and such discus sion
 It is probable that Obregon will not see his way clear to making such an official request. The intelligence of the President of Mexico. recognizing the great boon to his country friendly relations with the United States would be, covers but does not kill the innate feeling against all "gringoes" pos sessed by every Mexican. Moreover, Obregon cannot help but feel that overt acts on his part, looking toward

HEALTH.

The medical staffs of the state tu- herculosis sanatoria heard the report of the dentist of the five institutions the other day as to the importance of ease.
 Bringing of better health will come through education It is we'll, there fore, to emphasize the fact that the condition of the teeth and mouth, long a matter neglected, is of the first inn portance in maintaining health and in its restoration when lost. This must be done even at the risk of incur ring criticism for issuing propagan- da for the dental profession, all though a discussion of the matter should be characterized as such prop uganda no more than advising the consulting of a physician in case of sickness should be called propaganda for doctors.
 A man who knows just enough about horses to know when his ani- .mal is sick finds that the first good advice given him is to file the horse $ teeth. Improving their condition pro- duces better mastication of the ami malls food with resultant increased nourishment. The added comfort of the animal also, is no small factor in the betterment of the health.
 It is difficult to convince some peo- pie that the soreness in the groin, for instance, is caused by an abrasion on the foot Nevertheless such soreness often results from some such small injury.
 So it is hard to make people un- derstand that the whole system may become run down because of trouble in the mouth. So generally is this fact known that the taking of A-ray photogra phs of the teeth to ascertain their condition, with a view to cor recting apparently far removed trouble, has become common. Care of the teeth from childhood would do away with the necessity of consulting the dentist later in life. The health of people generally will be better when the importance of healthy mouth is more generally appreciated.

MRS. GRIEvE, NATR0NA PIONEER,
DIES SUDDENLY THURSDAY NIGHT

Tho funeral Of Mrs. Janet Grieve
Casper pioneer whose passing at s
o'clock last night at a local hospital
struck sorrow to the hearts, Of many
relatives and friends. will be- held
from ST Marks church al 3 o'clock
Saturday afternoon. The Rev. Philip
X. Edwards viii o~cficiate.
The body will lie in state at the
Bowman chapel from 10 a. m. to 2
o. m. tomorrow when friends may
view the remains.
Us a pioneer well known to both
early and late residents of Casper and
the surrounding country, Mrs Grieve
had many friends in this section Of
the state. To these news of her death
came as a distinct shock.
Pneumonia, with which she was
taken i'll some two weeks ago but
from which she had apparently recov-
cred. was the direct cause OF her
death. Her weakened condition was
unble to Withstand the relapse.
Mrs. Grieve was born in Scotland
in 1852. She had lived In Nebraska
for some time before coming to wyo-
ming. which occurred in 1898. She
lived for many years at the ranch
