THE HALL MARK OF CULTURE.

'Contiguity of residence in the city fiat curbs ones

OF music was compelled to carry on his work in his
bathroom in order to escape the clamor of three nj

noiseless. 1t is the apex of culture, a plane little lower

mate.
IF it is a reform, it begins, perhaps with care in

PUBLIC DUTY AND PERSONAL INTEREST.

We are seeing a great deal Of Senator Kendrick,
likewise hearing a great deal from him this year in
Wyoming. 1t means more than a simple and worthy
desire on the senator's part to enlighten the people
upon affairs of state. It is apprehended that during
the time between agricultural lectures, the senator Is
doing some carpenter work on his political fences
which may be in anticipation Of accepting the Demo-
cratic invitation to run for senator which a brief time
since his newspaper said he might not accept
Judging from signs that are unfailing In campaign
years it is surmised that a hoop or two has been
ioosened up on the well known Kendrick barrel There
is a powerful lot of banquetting and r~esoluting going
on in Wyoming.
Something Is going TO drop before John B. returns
to Washington to resume his duties in the most august
parliament in the world, and it is suspected to be an
announcement of his candidacy for reelection.
Therefore, while things are going nicely and ac-
cordinsyt to program It is cruel for the Riverton Chron-
icle 70 toss the following monkey wrench into the
smooth running gears of the machinery:
.Just st present, and it might be stated, a good deal
of the time, Senator John B. Kendrick is joyriding
over this and other western states, making talks at
every conceivable kind Of gathering to which his sup
porters can secure for him an invitation, talks that
are Of no value for any other purpose than to hand
himself bouquets and endeavor to advance his can
didacy for the senate next fall.
Frank w. Mondell is in Washington, right on the
job, one of the biggest and most useful men that this
great nation has in its service. And that is where he
will remain while there Is work for him to do. His
personal interests are always secondary to those of his
constituents.
However, there Is consolation in the fact that It
makes little difference to the nation or the people Of
this state whether Mr.. Kendrick is in Washington or
campaigning In Wyoming. He has never yet origi-
mated or supported any constructive legislation OF es-
pecial benefit to his state.
with Mr.. Mondell it is quite different. His pres
ence at Washington is of vital interest and Importance
to almost every community in Wyoming"

ENvIous OF OUR NATURAL. BEAUTIES.

It was to be expected, the moment Casper began to
speak of the preservation of HelPs Half Acre and the
by, in order that those backward In coming forward
to the mourners bench, could be spurred to a sense of
safety by local scenery and the name by which it is
designated, other Wyoming localities would improve
the occasion to call attention to their primrose enyi-
ronment, and seek thereby to detract from the pious
plans Casper has in mind. However, we shall proceed
with Our campmeeting enterprise on the brink Of
Helfs Half Acre ard snatch 'em back out of the
clutches of Sir Belzebub as they approach his domain,
even such as may stray from the rose gardens in and
about Laramie, Wyoming.
When Hells Half Acre shall have become a reser-
walton and the vicinity cultivated to figs, pomegranates
and watermelons, we shall hear no more of such faint
praise as the Laramie Boomerang seeks to hand US in
the following:
Casper is quite a town, many Laramie people he
lieving it to be second only to Laramie on the list of
the states important cities. Whether It can come that
close or not is, of course, for others to fight out, but
Wen have to doff our hats to the way they go after
things up there. They have gone after everything.
missed out on some but gotten much. Their latest
task is to have set aside as a county, state or national
park, what they term 'Hels Half Acre. a small par
eel of land midway between Casper and Kaycee, con-
tanning a. still smaller strip of land geologicaIly
freakish.
"Granted, the half acre or so proper. is quite un-
usual and 1t is well worth stopping your machine for
a few minutes to give it the once over. We don't
know for sure, but when the writer saw It last SUM-
mer we thought it quite appropriately named, for it
was a hot day and we could see no water or trees. But
as for comparing in the slightest with many of ma
lures scenic wonders which lie immediately tribu-
tary to Laramie, His Satanic Maiesty's uncultivated
half an acre up Casper way is not in it.
But, that is not a talking point against Casper.
Rather, it is in her favor. Casper has found that a
town doesn't need to have a Yellowstone park, a Wool
worth building, or a Mayo Brothers hospital in order
to do things along lines other than producing and re-
fning oil. And thus, with half an acre or so of hell

the only bit Of scenery she could really pick out as
distinctive from the miles Of s~agebrush which surround
hire, she is playing up this plot of ground for all it is
then some. And whether the half acre in
question ever becomes q county, state or national rlzy-
ground or a jumpin-off place makes little difference
for during the course of her efforts Casper will get a
lot Of good advertising and perhaps quite a few more
tourists And If the internal half acre itself doesn't
make an impression on the tourist, the city Of Cas-
per Is the kind that can make up for It.
-Hene~ Jasper can't lose On the proposition. But
!. she ca make such a fuss about a half acre and
get by with it, think what Laramie might do with the
million and onehaf, more or less, acres Of attractive
spots she has that can boast of a better name"

ing to accomplish this is not fully Indicated Pos
sibly he has a little enactment and a supreme court Of

The Tariff and South America.
Cincinnati Enquirer. }

The greatest trade possibilities of the United
States invite intensive development in South and Cen
America Better understanding and growing trade
activity have distinguished the relations between this
and the Southern countries during the period fol-
lowing the termination of the World War. Much has
been done toward unifyng a continental commercial
entente by earnest friends of Pan-Americanism both
in this country and in the republics at the south,
especially by far-seeing statesmen and business men
in Brazil and Argentina.
Is this splendid work in behalf of Western hemi-
sphere solidarity to be INSTRUCTED perhaps de-
stroyed by the ineptude of the United States Senate?
Can sefshness, fear, personal motives blind mem
bers that they mady will proceed to place prohibve
duties all agricultural products from the Southern
countries, whether they competitive not?
prohibitve tariff all Southern agricultural
products would not protect" the American farmer,
revenue to the Government. But 1t certainly would
bring serious trouble to the of continental COM
mercial union.
South and Central American trade constitutes
big asset to this country. The President and Secre-
tary of State Hughes among the statesmen of
vision who fully realize this fact and it earnestly is
hoped that they will employ their great influence to
have this tariff bill altered that it will inter
fere with constructive international policy which
means much to all the nations of the Western
world
Since the the promotion of this Southern
trade has been matter close to the heart of the
State Department. Results have been gratifying. We
had succeeded Germany in this most important field.
Now comes the proposal by the Senate tariff bill to
put high duties practically everything that the
Southern republics ship to this country If this is
be done then good-by Southern trade and goodby to
the
Let is be hoped that such folly effectively may be
checked by the firm and uncompromising opposition of
the President and his advisers.

Cold Storage Is Valuable.
(Prince Rupert News.)


Cold storage should need defense. Domesticay
1t is valuable, and commercially it is invaluable
Anybody who uses refrigerator in the summer
months will recognize this What it does for a
householder limited scale it does for the trader
on wholesale scale 1t preserves whatever food is
entrusted to 1t for future While this is
disputed fact, there is, as the Dominion Dairy and
Cold Storage Commissioner says, prejudice
Nagainst the system in the public mind If the quality
of certain food appears to have deterioraed is
frequently declaration that it has suffered from
cold storage. or course there may he reason in
the supposton, but experiments have abundanty
proven that If substance is placed in cold storage in
mt and wholesome condition, provided the tempera-
ture is kept right, 1t will remain in that condition
for great length Of time. Cold storage in a com
mercal way leads to and maintains al well balanced
state of supply 1t enables unreasonable goods to be
placed on the table in seasonabe condition 1t per-
ms goods to be shipped for long distances enables
districts that can not produce certain lines Of food
to enjoy the lines produced in other possibly far
on districts and climes. In short, cold storage
become indispensable to modern life, and while it
may at times lend itself to certain abuses these are
not such as can not be regulated
