Our Great Lack.

DEGRETTABLE, is the failure of the Richter
III Concert series of performances by eminent ar
fists. Lack of patronage is assigned as the cause.
Whether the Casper public lacks appreciation,
don't case, or prefers other and different entertain
ment, is of no consequence now. The season has
been closed at n loss at the end of the second en-.
gagement. It is really too bad, in a ommunity of
the size of Casper, the efforts of Mr.. Richter, who
strove to give the public worthwhile music and
succeeded in all but financial returns. should be
wasted. It means that no one else will undertake
go worthy an aspiration for n long time TO come.
ET Those who know and understand will not deny
the need Of culture in the community. Most cities
IN this age do need it in most of its forms.
But from music YOU get the readiest returns.
And the better the music the greater and more
valuable effect upoT the people who hear it.
Casper can no mere afford to be without high
class music than she can afford to grope in dark
ness without electric light.
a. Music is the great. civilizing influence of all the
arts. From it the highest pleasure is derived.
There should he more of it, of the better kind. in
every community that pretends to culture. But if
we are to starye our souls with jazz and nourisli
our aesthetic senses with the discord of hardware,
stoves and tinware, then let us continue ms we are,
devoid of most of the things that make life en-
durable. Let us boast of our natural resources,
for which we are in no way responsible. let us
advertise our material things which come to us
largely by chance. let us contemplate our bank
accounts and match them with the other fellow
but when it comes to the finer things of life, and
in the presence of those who have knowledge and
appreciation of matters not labeled with the dol
lar sign, for Gods sake let's maintain silence.

Moses Remarks.

tDENATOR NOSES, of New Hampshire, has little
~ If any, patience with the socalled agricultural
bloc of the senate, and on occasion this group is
the object of his choicest sarcasm. The bloc system
is bound to be repugnant to statesmen of the Moses
type, who stand for government for the whole coun-
try rather than for a single interest as contem-
plated by the agricultural" senators.
The senator states that some of the proposals
put before congress seemed. to him attempts to put
into statutory form the right to the free and IN.
limited coinage Of alfalfa.
To recall the days of Sockless Simpson and his
brother populists who invaded congress from the
west sume years ago with punaceas for ia mers'
ills, all of which did not work because they were
unavoidable.
"We seem to be coming into an era In which men
are inveighing agains. special privilege and seek
than there ever has been granted to any group in
this country. 1 have recently taken the pains to
examine the sheaf of printed measures submitted
to the congress of the United States by those who
are insisting that legislation shall be Immediately,
even forcibly, enacted for the benefit of one group
in our population. :
Through that runs a single purpose, to take
the money of somebody else and give it to n single
class. Through it, too, there runs another nur.
lose, the creation of bureaus and high salnried
positions, which, If provided, would certainly fur

ever farmer happens to get the appointment.
81 come from that Arcadian body, the senate of
the United States. 1 speak of 1t deliberately as that
Arcadian body, because 1t is ruled by an agricul-
tural bloc, n group which I have sometimes de-
scribed and been mathematical for so describing,
as being made up of eighteen lawyers, one editor
and a we'll driller."
1t is idle to maintain that Senator Moses in any
way supports the hloc's program or is in sympathy
with its aims and objects to force the senate to
stand and deliver the legislation demanded. The
tactics now employed take us back to the days of
Adamson and the humiliating surrender of the
Democratic congress and the Wilson administra-
ton.

Chemistru's importance Place.

JEW PEOPLE realize what a wonderful factor
IL chemistry has been in the development of mod
ern science, medicine and industry.
Prior to the war there was practically no organic
chemical industry in the United States. The world
looked to Germany as the source of knowledge of
organic chemistry, and more particularly as the
place from which we had to obtain products of that
Industry.
Necessity compelled us TO enter the production of
organic chemicals when our supply was shut off
from Germany, and we developed an industry that
wa second to that of TO other country which took
up its development during the war. The develop
ment was unhindered by competition from the out
side but now this war barrier, together with the
wartime legislation, is removed and tho competi-
ton of Germany, with her great chemical cartel, is
making itself felt. If our organic chemical indus.
try. with all the vitality important Developments
which are a part of it, is to survive and develop,
it must have the support of a sympathetic and
understanding public.
For these reasons, the attention of every business
man and every industry should be directed to the
important part chemistry has played in the devel.
opment of their individual businesses. There is
scarcely an industry that has not been materially
affected, even revolutionized, by the application OF
chemistry to its problems.

The True Spirit.

EXENPLIFICATION of the true Christmas
u spirit may occur anywhere on earth. 1t de-
ponds more upon the person than the environment.
This instance has to do with n ourteen-year-old
school girl in Texas, yet it reveals a higher con-
ception of the teachings of the Master and a truer
practice of them, than is found among those of
greater years and of presumed greater understand
ing.
In a Texas public school opposite each other on
The aisle were two girls of the same age, fourteen,
classmates. Dorothy and Gladys are the names of
these girls. One of life's greatest tragedies had
been visited upon the families of these children.
The father of Gladys had murdered the father of
Dorothy, and was even at the moment IN jail await
ing the naming of the day when he should be
hanged for his crime.
The school was preparing for the celebration of
christmas, the season of peace and good will.
There was to be a Christmas tree and gift giving.
The recipients of gifts were determined by the
drawing of names from a hat. Dorothy drew the
name of Gladys and silence fell upon the school.
