MONDELL KEEPS THE PLEDGE

Several Democratic papers in Wyoming have gone to consid-
cradle trouble in an endeavor to convince the ex service man that
Congressman Mondell is not their friend. 4
The Stars and Stripes. the leading independent publication
for ex-service men of the United States, in a recent issue carried
the following editorial. which should put forever at rest any
thought in the minds of the ex-service men that Congressman
Mondell is not their friend:
Representative Frank w. Mondell. of Wyoming Republican
leader in Congress. declared flatlv during the bonus debate that
the Republican Party pledged itself two years ago by passing the
bonus in the House. by indorsing that action in its national con
vention at Chicago, and from every stump and platform in the
land" during the last campaign, to enact adjusted compensation
legislation for the ex service men.
y am one of those who believe that political parties ought to
keep their pledges and their promises" said Mr.. Mondell, and
added that no political party, will live, and no political party
ought to live" which does not keep its promises.
This full, frank, and courageous statement by the majority
leader deserved the enthusiastic applause which it received. ANY
man or woman active in public life might well read Mr.. MondelTs
complete speech, pages 4s79 and 1880 Of TIN. Congressional Rec.
ord, March %, AS the discussion of the adjusted compensation
bill starts in the Senate, ex service men will hope that every Re-
publican Senator reads it. & Az #5t .e
President dent. Harding has repeatedly declared his belief in party
responsibility for party government. The leader OF, his marty in
the !Hias Of Representatives declares With admirable plannea.
ms a4 w,nihgness = accept susn responsibility. Mr.. Mondell said
in my opinion. can be prepared, and we will pass It with an over.
Ewheln1ing majority and keep our pledge"
So far as Mr.. Mondell is concerned, the pledge has been kept.
One turn. from reading his words and the recorded vote in the
House to look toward the. Senate, and finally to the President.

FRIENDLY

The purveyors of propaganda in Wyoming are having a
rather hard time of it in their attempts to make their mud ad-
here to, or even besmirch, the escutcheon of Frank Mondell,
Ihey are largely unfortunate in selecting the subjects upon
which they would inform the people. They also, in their ignor-
ance, commit the further folly of substituting misstatements of
source; but even the novice avoids untruth in attempting to in
fluence or convince people of intelligence against a set Of facts
OF which they already have full information. Therefore future
misrepresentation will be taken as wilful.
Gentlemen of vivid imagination, who head their contribu-
tons to rural Democratic newspapers in Wyoming with Wash
ington date lines and attempt. to tell the people of this state that
Frank Monden is opposed to this, or against that, or is fighting
the other thing, concluding with a paragraph explaining how
strongly John B. Kendrick is for the thing or measure Mr.. Mon
literature coming into the country. That will remain their bust
ness however, Just so long as they confine themselves to as near
the facts as tt possible for Democrats and hired propagandists
to do.
When these gentlemen come out Of the trenches and hurl
stink pots at any of our folks they must remember that we will
take it out on them and their candidates, eye for an eye and tooth
for a tooth.
Senator Hendricks campaign managers may select the
weapons they desire to use in the senatorial scrimmage ap-
to lethal gas suits us. Only we don't want to hear any bawlng
or any illusions to mud throwing after the exercises are under
way. kendrck romancers are entitled to Whoop her for John B.
and they may lay it on good and strong when recounting his
good points. In this direction they can 60 as far as they like.
But when they get so bold as to step over on our grass plot and
make scurrilous remarks about Frank Mondel or anybody else
belonging to us it is at their peril and the peril of retaliation upon
their candidate. We have a process for removing cutce from
Democratic candidates that we do not desire to employ unless the
abandon, so if there is any repetition Of irresponsible fabrica-
lions on the part of press agents or rural editors on the other side
of no mans land. the fun will begin and alibis will be disre-

Hon. W. c. Deming in Wednesdays issue of the Wyoming
Tribune announced to the voters of Wyoming that he would be
unable to become a candidate for nomination on the Republican
ticket for a member of the House of Representatives in Congress,
owing to press of personal business affairs.
For the past year Mr.. Deming has been solicited by friends
throughout Wyoming to become a candidate to succeed Congress
man Mondell in the House of Representatives.
Editor Deming is undoubtedly one of the best qualified men
IN the state to fill Congressman Mondells place in Congress. By
education, by training and by experience Editor Deming is quail
tied to serve the people of Wyoming in the capacity of congress-
man. -
AS editor of the leading Wyoming paper, Mr.. Deming has
acquired a large mountaineering throughout Wyoming and he
has hundreds of friends and admirers in every section who will
regret that he is unable to make the race for congress this fall.

Grimm" and Smiths "Mrs. Bur,pstead
Leigh" Herne's Shore Acres waa
ignored, as we'll as A. E. Thomas's
whimsical farce, "Her Husbands Wife,"
which is capital play.
From the point of view of Pari-
sian audience, it may be open to doubt
whether Anna Christie" IS good
choice to represent our drama. viii
the Frenchman not say, "But why
doesn't the sailor take the girl as his
mistress? Why all this fuss about
marriage 2" Will he get the point of
view which makes the drama SO poig-
nant to us? On the other hand, either
"The Emperor Jones" or Beyond the
Horizon, of O'Neill's other plays, would
be quite comprehensive to him. How
ever, the committee was not asked to
pick the play most likely to please
Paris, but the play it considered the
best work OF an American.
1t is perhaps unfortunate that the
committee was not larger so that more
diversity of opinion could be secured.
But that would too much have delayed
the award, On the whole, its selec-
tion will do our native drama as much
credit as any FIVE plays We can think
of, perhaps. But it will be interesting
to see how far the theatergoiIg public
agrees with it.

good comedies, distinctly American
and probably too American to be
understood in Paris. When "The Col
lege Widow" was played IN London, in
fact, glossary had to be supplied
with the programs-and even then it
fell on blank incomprehension.
The case of "Kindling" is interest
ing. Here is play which was pro-
duced more than ten years ago, writ
ten by an author who has not since
been heard from At first it was a
failure, and only after volunteer
committee, called the kindling Boost
ers, was organized by Will Irwin to
lombard the papers, did it get across.
Yet the judges in this present contest
vivid and pathetic story it told Of i'm
migrant life in our slums. 1t must
have stuff in It, and probably deserves
to be revived.
vSome of the other plays which got
scattering votes were "The Hero," by
Gilbert Emery; salvation Nell, by
Edward Sheldon" fsurely not so good
a play as his Romance" which got no
vote); "Why Marry" by Jesse Lynch
Williams; Tarkington's Seventeen"
(inlagine the Parisian's perplexity at
that dramai); Walters's "The Easiest

vide" with sixteen points. Eugene
O'Neill's "The Hairy Ape" was third,
with fourteen points. The fourth
choice was Langdon Mitchells satirical
farce, "The New York Idea" SO bril-
liantly acted by Mrs. Fiske many years
ago. The fifth choice is rather sur
prising because it isn't good
play, but because it shoulders out any
drama by Clyde Fitch. 1t is Charles
Kenyon's "Kindling," produced more
than decade ago by Margaret Hing
ton. This received ten points, to elev-
en- for "The New York Idea"
Close behind these five leaders were
Clyde Fitch's drama "The TRUTH" Eu-
gene O'Neill's play of terror, "The En-
peror Jones'; Frank Craven's delight
full comedy. 1.-THE First Year." and G..
M. Cohan's mystery farce, adapted from
Earl Bigger's novel, "seven Keys to
Baldpate." The rest of the plays on
the combined lists got only scattering
points.
The most striking thing about this
list, it seems to me, is the fact that
New-York tribune., 1922-08-06

Eugene O'Neill, one of the youngest
and most recent Of our dramatists, not
only has the winning play, but two
others Of the first nine. No other
writer is represented by more than one
work. This is due in part, perhaps, to
the very fact that ne is the youngest
of our major playwrights, and hence
most recent in the public eye. But
only in part. The astonishing vivid
ness Of his plays has evidently i'm
pressed seven men and women of quite
different temperaments, and their ver-
dict places him in the scale Of merit
above Clyde Fitch or Augustus Thomas.
We ought to add that his fourth drama,
Beyond the Horizon" also received
several points. So far as the opinion
Of this committee is shown by their
votes, O'Neill is certainly the finest
playwright America has yet produced.
Yet that verdict is obviously not
quite fair, because it is based entirely
on the quality of individual plays and
not on work as a whole. Clyde Fitch,
whose only play to get vote was "The
Truth" nevertheless wrote, in his too
brief lifetime, more than thirty plays,
fair average of which were genuine
pictures of American manners and
men, and which, taken in bulkS entitle
him to high place in our dramatic
hall Of fame. Time alone will tell
whether Moody's deeply philosophical
and moving play, "The Great Divide"
will not outlive the more striking and
snowy "Anna Christie" Moody. alas!
wrote but one other drama in prose be-
fore his untimely death.
The only play by Augustus Thomas
which is found on the list is "As a
Man Thinks" There will be some
people to say "The Witching Hour"
ought to be there. Percy Mackaye is
represented only by "The Scarecrow,"
a dramatization of one of Hawthorne's
stories. James Forbes is represented
by "The Famous Mrs. Fair"--undoubt-
edly his best play. That "The First
Year" got more points than either
