Mr.. Deming Declines

EToR SOME it has been the general alIer-
I standing in Wyoming political circles that William
|G. Deming of the Cheyenne Tribune would be a can
Iddate for Representative in Congress from Wyoming
In succession to Frank W. MondeIl, who is an active
candidate for the Senate in opposition to John b. Ken
drick, the present Democratic incumbent
Mr.. Deming is a widely known citizen, a resident
FOR many years, and, aside from ownership Of the only
newspaper in the capital city, is an important factor
in business affairs as well.
His determination not to be a congressional candi-
date COMES as a surprise to his many friends who were
preparing to support him; and his action leaves Judge
Charles E. Winter of Casper and Marshall Reynolds
Of Kemmerer as the candidates of the Republican
party.
Mr.. Deming's announcement as published IN his own
Newspaper, follows:
For several months I have had considerable en-
Encouragement to become n candidate for Congress to
succeed Hon. Frank W. MondeIl- I think n fair state
|ment of the case would be that TINS announcement
has been of the popular sort-that is, it has come from
IA large number of people in various parts of Wyom-
hing not actively engaged in politics-people who are
not influenced by location or political expediency.
"The active political workers, faced with a more or
hess complicated situation with respect to the COVER
|norship, other state Offices and the bearing of the gem
|eral condition upon present and future United States
|senatoral contests, have not been of one mind upon
many questions affecting the forthcoming election.
jAmong them, however, I have pome warm supporters.
Meantime, the pressure Of my own private bust
hess, including the publication of the Wyoming State
fTribune-Leader and the Wyoming Stockman-Farner
|And other interests here and elsewhere have made it
practically impossible for me to give any especial at
BENTON to my own personal political affairs.
ri find that because Of the continued growth of my
hrivte business and my general plans for the future
That it would be impossible to give to the primary
campaign and the general election il / were nomi-
hated. the attention the situation deserves.
For that reason and in order to simplify pending
knd prospective contests as much as possible, after
very careful and somewhat extended consideration. I
have decided that I will not be a candidate for Con-
|gress.
For the newspaper friends and many others who
|hsve offered support within the last few months, I
have a deep sense of gratitude and I feel that the
party has many able men from which a choice may
be made"

Wishing Wings

Where solitude is By my side
While I dream upon the sand

None can IA a shadow there,
And none can search for me

Whether in sun or wind or rain
The whole worlds mine to explore
Rumble Of wheels on the dusty road

Sometimes 1t is in a city street
With a thousand twtnkling lights
Reflected in a thousand eyes

Increased Car Loading

That railroad freight. traffic and
general business have been improving
rapidly during the early months of
this year. Is indicated by the tact that
the number of carloads of freight
handled UP to April 1, when the coal
strike began. has been greater than
it has been for any other Of the past
five years except the record year
1890" says the Railway Age in an
editorial in its current issue, "the to-
tai car loading since April 1 has nat
urally shown n reflection OF the re-
duced coal production but from jan
uary l to April l the total number of
cars loaded with revenue freight was
9,9s6,1S4, as compared with 9,e15, 1874
during the corresponding period OF
1891, although II was less than for
1920 when a total of 1 ,223.S13 cars
were loaded. The number OF cars of
freight received by the railroads for
transportation Ut to April / was, of
course. swelled considerably by the
amount of o ordered for storage
in anticipation of the strike, just as
the reduction in coal loading at the
present time will doubtlecs be made
up later o when the strike is over
or when the present reserves become
diminished However. there have also
been large increases in the loading
of merchandise and miscellaneous
freight. 1t is also true that a carload
OF freight represents less tons this
year than it did when the shortage Of
freight ears made the shippers more
responsive to the efforts of the rail-
roads TO induce them to load cars to
capacity.
However, the tonnage and ton
mile figures VIII not be available for
some time and in their absence the
gains shown in car loading totals rep
resent one of the reasons for optim-
ism which have recently been reflect
ed in a beginning of railroad pur.
chases on n much larger scale than
has prevailed for several years While
there r stin some 800. 900 freight
cars out Of service for need OF repairs,
the number of ~serviceable surplus
carr had been reduced from 500, 600 a
year to 2os.74 by March 81 this
year"

The Republics Generosity

'SENAToR of Maine, in charge Of the
. bin appropriating SIT, 900, 900 for the construction
|pf more hospitals for the accommodation of disabled
service men, which measure passed the Senate unani-
nously, brought forward comparative statistics of
what the United States has done for the soldiers of
the world war, with what was done in former wars,
and what other governments have done for their vet
|arans.
The facts will entirely disabuss the public mind of
any charge of neglect on the part of the government
in the treatment it has accorded its defenders.
It win also be surprising to learn the difference in
he treatment of soldiers by the different governments.
Outside of Australia and New Zealand no government
paid anything like what the United States has paid her
lighting men. Canada paid her soldiers S33 per
month. The United States paid her soldiers s3S per
month. Great Britain paid her soldiers but s11.40
per month. Germany paid her soldiers So per month.
France, Austria Hungary. Italy and Japan paid their
soldiers less than SO per month So, in comparison
with other governments the United States has been
exceedingly generous.
From official data presented by Senator FernaId
these things are learned:
No soldier of the Revolutionary war received a
pension, for over 40 years after the close of the war,
IF more than SIS per month, and that only in case of
disability to such an extent as to prevent his perform
ng manual labor.
No soldier who served IN the war Of Independence
vas allowed a pension for any reason except for in
iuries or disability incurred in the service, for AZ
years.
No soldier of the War of 1912 was pensioned for
my cause, except for disability incurred in service,
until so years after the war.
No widow of the War of 1872 received a pension
rntil the act of 1916. and then only 81 per month
No soldier of the Mexican war received a pension,
except such as were wounded or disabled in the service,
until 40 years after the close of the war.
Those totally disabled as the result of service re-
:eived IS per month.
No soldier of the Civil war who was not injured
pr disabled by his military service received any PEN
sion from the government until the act of 1890, 20
FEARS after the close of the war.
Those totally disabled received only So per month
n case of ~privates, and only $40 per month in case of
lieutenant coionels and those of higher rank.

A Study in Flappers

On q railroad train a seat ahead OF
mo sat two middie-aged women who
carried on an animated conversation
accompanied by severe looks at a
seat ahead of them and across tbs
aisle. Listening in on them 1 discov.
cred the object of their excoriation &c
be two fiappes not yet OF age.
Casting my eyes ovez INTO the dtrec.
ton of the f1appers I noticed the fol.
lowing makeup: Whether they were
twins BY birth or only for fashions
sake I could not tell, but they were
dolled up alike. For headgear they
wore tight Egyptian turbans OF tiny
taffeta folds with a bow, caught under
a circle of small coral beads and fin.
tshed off in spangies Of various hues.
Then a henna colored cape coat. man
tailored. novel slots in back and patch
pocketn, partly hid a blouse OF the
same goods, cut low.
Next I saw a knee length skirt of
Embellishments knitted silk over
knickers Of like material and color.
Then came open work clicked silk
stockings In beige, and finally pumps
with two straps and baby Louis heels.
All in all these two butterflies were
Just n bit more extreme, more uncon.
cernedly smart and moro casually
-dashing than anybody else, and their
dresses were pulled UP tight at front
and back and held at the hips with
fancy clasps.
Their hair was done up In cute lit.
tie rolls, their cheeks beautifully
rouged; noses chins and necks arts.
tically powdered; their hands and fin
gers manicured. and they carried
pouch shaped Jacquard silk handbags
fitted with mirror and change purse.
Across the laps lay strap wrist gloves
with n single pearl button and cuff
in long point effect to match
the entire makeun. When the seat be-
hind them WIS verant 1 sat in II
md listened in on their conversation.
1t was about nothing else but dresses,
hair ribbons and the like.
My d thus obteined of flappers
was they r like the unnatural but
'gorgeouly beautiful flowers in a hor.
ticultural exposition. pleasing to look
upon but not lasting, and only to
cause an "Oh. myi- or What next7''
Sensible level headed young men will
hardly associate themselves for any
great length of time with one OF this
species. When a fiapper does marry
she is likely cry soon to revert to
normally or to go by way of the di-
vorce courts. Flappers are evidently
costly to maintain. Nevertheless. 1
do not condemn them as some do. Let
them have their fling. The next gen.

Toll of Child Life

The mortality tables Of the United
States show that the death rate OF
children decreases rapidly from the
fage OF one year. in which It is very
high. to h & of five and sir. when
It becomes very low. Tho child at
these ages enters school. and the NOR
.taiity rate Immediately Increases until
tho age Of IL is reached. At this age
the death rate almost cquais hat of
gthe child OF n year old
This waste OF life. health experts
explain. could DO reduced so per cent,
which would increase h average span
OF life of an American, which is now
IS years. to possibly IS or 80 years.
The increase in the death rate from
the time the childd enters school is at
sributable TO school life or group as
~sociation.
Some Of h conditions which result
in children's diseases spreading
through the schools are named as
overcrowding. lac of playground
space, poor plumbing. inefficient heat
ing. bad ventilation, f~nsanitary drink
ing fountains. and insufficient care in
looking after children with contagious
diseases for a sufficient lenth OF time.
