MEMORIAL DAY

Memorial day enthralls us. 1t brings to mind
the battle field, SCARED by countless thousands of
brutal, primitive scenes, beclouded morally by
evasive, secret, treacherous diplomacy behind the
armor in all ages, filled with dead primarily be-
cause the Christian religion has been merelya pas
sive not a motivating force in mans life and in
the life of nations.
We visualize picture of marked graves of vet
Grams of wars in every cemetery on Memorial
day. These remind us of debt of gratitude, of
course, but do they not also shout message that
would be on the lips of all the dead of every war
could they be made articulate? Do not these ST.
lent austere thought-provoking tombS, beloved
and honored in every community, whisper to us
the futility of war, the indubitabe cannbalism
of it all, and suggest q greater humantaranism
broader, more liberal, less antagonstc vision a
finer national conscience-the spirit of Christian
lty manifested, as the healing lotion for corrupted
civilization?
In this day of enlightenment we taunt pro-
gressive thought, fear any departure from the
staid, and, in many instances ignobe course of
historical custom, force acquiescence in opinions
that should be varied, rather than uniform, if
only for the sake of competitive intellectually.
What do these graves signify? What hope
do they stimulate? Memorial day should intensi-
fly the original pioneer spirit of America. 1t
should point with renewed strength the way to
honest and charitable relations, one nation with
another. Memorial day should inspire the UNI
questioning burial of secret diplomacy and all the
ills that this chain has occasioned 1t should ami
mate universal spirit of fairness and justice, a
willingness also of nations to practice which is
better than preaching, the gospel of brotherly
love. Instead of great armies, powerful navieS,
there should be millions for education for good
roads, for community Improvement The day
should help peoples of the earth to appreciate the
need of culture, more intimacy in the home and
greater recognition of the principles of interna-
tional service.
The world is loathe to believe that it is wrong
oil
than once history itself designates new courses
taken and old discarded. With each Memorial
day we should rededicate ourselves to world
peace, to program of world service and unselfsh
devotion in promoting higher plane of civiza-
tion--to happy homes and the whole world friend
ly: the spoken message that every veteran would
repeat were it his privilege to speak from the
grave.

THE MAY FESTIVAL

The May Festival at Marathon park on Mon
day was the elimination of months intensive
work among children of the grades of our public
schools. The festival was arranged and directed
almost solely by Miss Marilla Zellhoefer of the
Wausau High school faculty. Few prett1er more
dainty programs have ever been enjoyed by peo-
pie of this community. The fete is splendid ac-
complishment for Miss Zellhoefer, whose efforts
deserve the highest commentator, and for those
1t is not credit to the public schools, how
ever, to present pageant of this character at
this time of the year nor at any other time when
it may interfere seriously with the children's
proper school work. Students have had more than
sufficient work to perform in preparing for ex-
aminations and in learning their daily lessons
during the month of May. The high school has
likewise felt the burden placed upon it by the May
fete. One protest filed with The Pilot by
high school student and had that been published
we presume many others would have followed
Outside activities" such as the May fete, require
more time than can profitably be used for the pur
pose and while the community appreciates the
beauty and lmpressiveness of such affair." par
ents and teachers alike are curious to know how
certain little boys and girls are going to OBJ
tain a passing grade in their examinations.
The music memory contest, while it's purpose
was excellent, lost many valuable hours for chill
dren who needed this time for regular work. Dur
ing the contest it was quite evident that children
in the music memory contest were negecting
their daily studies to complete scrap book and to
familiarize themselves with music memory num-
bers. After the contest was over all those who
saw the scrap books marveled at the results We
have no doubt that one of the results will be de-
linquency or failure for more than one child this
semester.
The public school has enough obstacles to
overcome without hampering it's proper func-
ton by events that assume first place in the eyes
of the children 1t is certain that little greater
disposition to keep at work. to "get back to
old fashioned study" would prepare children in
better fashion for high school and later for col
lege. Both the music memory contest and the
May fete have certain educational features, but
we feel it would be far wiser to encourage better
minds than to develop active feet and cultivated
voices.
1t has been said that the fete was planned as
an advertisement for the public schools. We can
not believe that such hollow purpose was enter
tanned for well schooled children, completing
grade after grade with good standing and show
ing the results of careful instruction, are by far
the best advertisement, incomparably superior to
a festival of any kind.

BOYS THRONG ABOUT

Full of lively interest, boys
thronged about the ex-service men
as they strolled about the court
house square on Memorial day and
later lined up for the parade. At

column of fours on Scott st. the last
OF the line was left untitled because
OF two absentees. The two vacant
places were Immediately occupied
by four little fellows who admired

It's a form of hero worship these

equipment than in anything else

AMONG THE SCANDALS

The Republican national administration is
making many sad breaks and the scandals of the
regime are likely to outnumber those of presi-
dent Harding's predecessors The Daugherty-
Fed-Morse scandal has been thoroughly exploited
by the press. Attorney General Daugherty was
President Harding's pre-convention manager and
was personal selection of the president. In re-
calling the Newberry case, it will be remembered
that Senator Newberry was a personal friend of
President Harding; that two men indicted with
Newberry were appointed by the president to be
United States district attorneys in Michigan; that
the appointment of Nat Goldstein was made in
the face of general public knowledge of his con-
nection with the Lowden primary slush fund and
withdrawn apparently because of the unified oppo-
stion of the public; that President Harding in all
public prints endorsed the leasing of the last naval
oil reserves to subsidiaries of the Standard Oil
trust, although these leases were made secretly
and had to be ferreted out by the viglant John B.
Kendrick, senator from Wyoming; that the presi-
dent has never yet explained his wholesale dis
charge of aged and trusted employees in the bu-
reau of engraving and printing, nor has he done
anything to lift the cloud placed upon the lives of
these men and women who had won preferment in
the government service by long and efficient SER
vice.

FOREST SERVICE MODIFIES
PAYMENT OF GRAZING FEES
One-half of Grazing Fee to be Paid
Prior to Entrance of Stock Into
Forest. Balance Dec. LIST.

In order to meet the unusual condi-
ton in which the cattlemen and sheep
men of the country find themselves at
this time, the forest service has ar
ranged for payment of grazing fees this
year in two installments. This is a
special concession made to the livestock
interests, as it is the desire of the SER
vice to assist the livestock industry to
get back to normal conditions at the
very earliest opportunity.
According to this arrangement one
half of the grazing fee due for the year
1922 must be paid ON or before the
stock enter the forest and the remain
ing one-half on or before December 1,
1922.
No stock will be allowed to enter the
forest before the first half of the graz
ing fee has been paid.

One of the highest-priced and most
elaborate finn plays ever brought to
the Platte valley will be shown at the
Encampment theater next Tuesday,

Longest Bridge in State Completed.

One of the most important events in
the history of Jackson's Hole occurred
, 1922-03-09

on Tuesday, February. DIST when the
last spike was driven. completing the
new 657-foot Snake River bridge, near
Jackson.
This bridge is the longest in the
state by over two hundred feet and is
built of five steel spans supported by
two concrete abutments and four con
crete piers.
People from all the valley took part
in the impromptu program, and Mrs.
Jane pierson had the honor of driving
the last spike. Twenty-Five sticks of
dynamite. shot at the proper time,
helped to fittingly celebrate Il victory
over the treacherous Snake.
The bridge was built by the Levy
Construction Company, with Boil Davis
and Fred Jenkins in charge. Eynon x
Winger We're contractors for the grad
ing, finishing, lumber and piling.
The people of Jackson's Hole and the
many tourists who visit acre year af-
ter year., have waited u long time for
the completionof such Il bridge as this.

Carbon County Has Real Hospital.

John w. Alden of Spring Creek re-
turned home Saturday from Rawlins,
where he spent eleven days In the Car
bon County Memorial hospital, being
under treatment for iniurics received
at his ranch home recently, when two
fingers of his left hand were badly
liberated by being caught in Il rope
with a fractions horse on the other
end.
Mr.. Alden speaks very highly of the
Memorial hospital and its equipment
and attendants, and gives it as his
opinion hat our hospital is second to
zone in the west. The building, he
says is far enough out that trains and
other city noises do not intrude, and
the service and care given patients in
the institution could not easily be i'm
proved upon.

Drilling Resumed
in Local Oil Field
Lost Tools Recovered Last Thursday
Evening After Several Days of
Observation-Disclosures Good.

Drilling operations have been re-
sumed by the Southwest Petroleum Co.
in the wen being put down a few miles
west Of Saratoga. The drilling tools.
lost in the hole when the rig burned a
month ago, were recovered Thursday
evening, and subsequent investigations
proved hat the hole is in good condI-
ton and it will probably be deepened
considerably before any more casing
is inserted. a long string Of the 10
inch casing will be placed soon, and tho
hole reduced to the S-inch diameter.
1t is reported about town that the
drillers are now proceeding very slow
ly, as gas is being encountered to some
extent and greater quantities may be
found at any time. 1t is estimated that
the drill is now in close proximity t
the first oil sands, and there is much
speculation as to what will he found
when these sands are penetrated. 1t
has been the unusual thing in Wyom-
ing to develop n commercial well in the
shallOwer sands, and it is unlikely that
oil in any quantity will be found in
this field except in the deeper sands.
However, the present indications are
considered very encouraging by all To-
cal people who a-e financially interest
ed in the field.

Production Increasing.

The Rock River Review says: due
to an increase in the oil being shipped
to Salt Lake and Laramie, several
wells which ave been capped in for
the past few months, were opened the
first of the week, increasing the pro-
duction several hundred barrels daily.
Just how long the increase will con
tinue, or whether or not it is just lead
ing up to the fields capacity output is
not known. However, for the time be-

Mr.. Bailey introduces his hero, one
Christopher Hope, as singing . sons
with the refrain,
May govern my passion with an abso.
And grow wiser. and better a. my
strength wears away.
Hope had left England for q tour Of
Europe after having been Tilted BY q
girl at home. 1t was in the first quar-
ter Of the eighteenth century. long
enough ago 30 that the author may
safely mako history to suit himself.
Hope gets entangled with the settlement
Of the succession to the throne Of Salm,
a little imaginary principally between
France and Austria. He IL the double
Of one Of the claimants. The other
claimant IL the Duchess Cunegonde, a
beautiful young woman Of twenty five.
Hope meets her at the beginning Of the
tale before he knows anything about
the troubles Of Salm and before he
knows who she is. Of course he 10 mis-.
taken for the claimant to the throne
BY the leaders Of Salm, and he plays
the part for while.
Now for the idea which Mr.. Bailey
sought to illustrate In operation. He
says that there are from time to
time men who make a figure In the
world out of proportion to their abili-
ties because tho very circumstances
which perturb most Of us, surprise, an.
ger, anxiety, danger, great occasion
and so forth, are to them no more than
q. pleasant stimulant. Such a
man was Christopher Hope. And If
you add that his way was to leave
himself out Of the question, to judge a
situation and to act without much re.
gard for his own dislikes and desires,
I do not know that there 10 much more
to say for him." Acting in this way,
Hope restores order In Salm, conciliates
all its enemies and ends with getting his
hearts desire. Thus does moderation,
governing passion with absolute
sway" work out in the world.
As there Is the duchess, the least ex-
perienced novel reader can see the pos.
sibilities for romance. Mr.. Bailey let's
none Of them escape him. And he has
made one Of the most pleasing and sat-
isfying books Of light fiction that has
come from the press this spring. It
can safely be recommended to any one
who wishes relaxation, with slight
mental stimulant.

The OPERATIC SOCIETY

FIfty.eIshth Performances Of orsanI'

THE CAST

The Philadelphia Operatic Society
gave its fifty eighth performance at the
Academy of Music last evening, the
opera presented being Bizet's Gar
men," Taken as a whole, the opera
was well given, when the difficulties
which make 1t prohibitive for almost
every other amateur opera organization
OF this country except our own are
considered. Carmen" is no light task
for the best professional company ever
gathered together. either vocally or
dramatically.
Winifred Wiley made an attractive
part we'll. She might have had little
more Of the Spanish spirit in the action,
but did this well also. 1t is role
which is seldom acted effectively ex-
cept by a woman of Latin descent. Miss
Frye was unusually good as Micaela,
singing the famous scene in the Sec
ond act exceedingly we'll. Mr.. Graham
made a good Don jose in voice, al
though. like Miss Wiley, there might
have been more spirit in the closing
scene. DR.. Knox was a,sU satisfactory
as Escamillo. and the smaller roles as
sumed by Misses Botwright and Swell
CERT and Messrs Long, Matthews and
Haug were well done.
The ballet, trained by Ethel Quirk
Phillips, was one of the features of the
performance, and Mr.. Schneider's stage
management was very good, although
the waits between the acts were long.
Mr.. Leps conducted as always, with
skill and discretion, bridging over vari-
GUS dangerous places with his thorough
knowledge OF the score and dexterity in
handling the orchestra.
