Washington, Feb. 20.-The
most modest man in the United
States was discovered here today.
He's a White House cop. Or
rather he was White House cop
until today.
Now he's just an ordinary city
policeman, He was transferred
from the magic circle of the
White House guards, because he
refused to have his picture taken.
The White House police, who
were recently divorced from the
metropolitan force by act of con-
gress, were ordered out to have
their pictures taken in their new
regalia, which has been pronoun-

Alabama Senator Con-
ducts Heated One-Man
Filibuster
BILL GOES THROUGH
Return of Edge From
Honeymoon Puts End
to Senate Business for
Short Time.
(By Isaac Gregg

Washington, Feb. 20.-Sena.
tor J. Thomas Heflin of Alabama
who probably gets more set
backs and rebukes than any
member of the Senate, yester-
day earned the approval of all
except one member of the Sen
ate when he conducted a short
one-man filibuster to put through
a bill for the relief of former
naval lieutenant whose back was
broken in making experiments
for the naval service.
The Senate was proceeding on
unobjected bills on the calendar
when the bill for the relief of
the lieutenant, John l.. Living
ston, was reached. Senator Mich
olson of Colorado, author of the
bill, tried to get it through but
Senator King of Utah objected to
it because he said it would set
a bad precedent. No amount of
pleading would move Senator
King and the bill was rejected.
II was than that the Southern
Senator attention was cal
led TO the fact that
Livingston is public charge,
that if he does not get immediate
relief he will remain public
charge until December when
Congress again meets. Senator
Heflin announced he would pre-
vent the passage of any bill re-
manning on the calendar unless
the Livingston measure were
passed. He Immediately raised a
point of no quorum.
Afterward, Senator King
agreed to permit the bill to pass
with an amendment and Heflin
stopped his filibuster. Many
Senator congratulated him for
his stand.
The return of Senator Walter
Edge of New Jersey from his
honeymoon trip to Europe almost
stopped the proceedings of the
Senate awhile yesterday. Sena-
tors rushed over to congratulate
the New Jersey member on his
marriage and made so much noise
with their good natured joshings
that the Vice President was fore
ed to stop the work of the Sen
ate and call for order. Edge then
retired to the cloakroom.
The ultimate failure of the
ship subsidy bill in the Senate
was forecast by the action of the
Senate yesterday when that body
voted to lay aside the bill in
favor of the so-called Voigt fill
ed milk bill. Prior to this the
Senate had, by a vote of Al to

gave him a popularity of a kind, with a class he
was in position TO favor.
1t Is unfathomable, this reasoning of CORE
spondence school scholars, amateur investigators
and summer excursionists to Europe that the
American people are ~thirsting to hear their opin-
ion on the complex European situation or any
other subject. The fact that the person has the
price of a return ticket to Europe does not quail
ify him to enlighten the people of America on
international subjects that have got the best
statesmen of Europe going south.
But when in addition, one of these tourists
threatens to blow the breath of life into the
League of Nations and parade it in a Democratic
national convention, it would seem time for some
committee of old line and respectable Democrats
to take Mr.. Baker by the ear and lead him out
of the meeting house.
Patriotic Democrats of America are no more
in favor of entering into European line fence
disputes, European racial brawls, European tom
cat fights, and not at all concerned in the back
stairs gossip of decadent continental courts, than
are patriotic Republicans.
Therefore when Mr.. Baker return to America
let us hope that he will be greeted by the same
abysmal silence that marked his departure.

Miner seems to have been hiding in
the corridor of tho cell house, and
to have given the officer the slip
and escaped through an open door
in the east end of the Jail. AS oon
as Mr.. Roy missed Miner he gave
the alarm. and Sheriff Herring sent
kilograms and made every effort to
overhaul the man. but had not sue
ceeded in doing so today. Miner is
believed to have had someone wait
ing in an automobile TO hurry him
away. The garage at CSC North
Seventh street was broken open dur
ing the night, but the car was not
there, and nothing was disturbed.
The Hitchcock had been sold at
Casper and was recovered and de-
livered to the owner. Miner is said
to have told other prisoners that he
had stolen diamonds and automo-
biles enough to buy two ranches in
Colorado.

Will Build at Once

DOUGLAS.-Construction work on
the new city water system to be
Installed here will M within
a few days. according to members
of the city council. The bids for the
bonds were opened at a special
meeting OF the council held last
Wednesday morning and the bonds
were sold to Sidloe. Simon, FEELS &
company. brokers of Denver. The
commission for handling the bonds
is s7.450 and the interest rate is
five and a half per cent.
The contract for the construction
of the system was recently let to
Mclaughlin & O'Neil OF Livingston,
Mont. and as soon as the bonds
have been printed IND the cash paid
into the city treasury the con-
tractors will have their material on
the way. As soon as the material
arrives construction work will be-
gin.
The new system will consist of
seventeen and a half miles of creo-
soted continuous stave wood pipe
from the Green Valley Spring TO
Douglas. various housing facilities
at the spring and d new one million
gallon steel reservoir which will be
used in connection with the present

herd is M of a committee of three

lieves that this city is the logical
point and will act accordingly.
The convention will be held dur
ing the latter part of July or tho
early part Of August of each year
and about three hundred delegates
are usually in attendance. The best
talent from all over the country will
be brought to these functions and
the affair should be a big asset to

A Splendid Idea

1t is a very pretty idea, that proposed by inc
Cosper Motor club, TO give the aged ana hIlrm
4 few hours in the open next Sunday afternoon
if the weather is ~propitious. Many OF those
who will be guests may have had no opportunity
for a tour of their home city and its envlrons
during the entire summer season, some for one
reason and some for another.
The Motor clubs invitation is out OF the good
fellowship spirit that has always ruled TINS
organization in the many excellent things it has
done for the people of Casper in the past.
While primarily an omo club, its mem
hers are very human and have a natural desire
TO share with others the pleasures car owner
shin confers upon them.
The invitation is broad and includes all who
will take the pains to send their name and adj
dress to the secretary of the chamber of com
merce. .
There is no imposition upon the members OF
the club. They desire to render this courtesy Tor
the pleasure it affords themselves as well as
the pleasure it gives the recipients. Therefore
hesitation should not prevent any person OF age
or infirmitv from accepting the cordial and gen
erous invitation of the Motor club and enjoy
ing a few hours in the sunshine.

Newton's Threat

If Europe has no objection Newton d. Baker
can remain in that hemisphere as long as he
chooses. No one in America was aware of his
absence until he felt impelled to announce his
return and in due time to force upon his party in
next years convention, n declaration in favor
of a dead issue sometime known as the League
of Nations.
Inquiry is altogether proper as to just who is
Newton d. Baker? And to show our own exacti-
tude in historical research even TO trivialities,
Mr.. Baker was Mr.. Wilson's secretary of war.
Most Americans, including, especially, those who
served their country in the great war, have been
trying TO forget Mr.. Baker and his works and
many we trust have succeeded. Mr.. Baker was
not a god secretary of war. He it was who over
purchased n~osebags, spurs, halters, collar pads
and other horse gear at the ratio of sixteen TO
one. In equipping the army mules he forgot TO
send the ammunition and the airplanes to the
front until the armistice was signed. Then he
rushed both. There were so many sins of omis-
sion and commission chargeable to Mr.. Baker,
to make il so altogether desirable to forget him,
that it is a wonder that he energies from his
obscurity long enough and has the temerity to
address the American people on any subject, let
alone one that died simultaneously with himself
and had been buried under an avalanche of seven
million wrathful and excess votes.
Not the least smelly Of Mr.. Bakers acts and
the one compelling every regular American to
hold his nose and go ahead winning. the war in
spite of the secretary. was Mr.. Bakers polite
ness TO and consideration for slackers, conscien-
cious DIRECTORS, traitors and alien enemies. This
particular chapter in Mr.. Bakers official life
earned him the cordial hatred Of the American
army and navy and the American people, but il

Paying Cupid's Bills

Cupid's industry has not been hampered in
Germany, by the crash of the mark, the occupa'
ton of the Ruhr, the government crisis or the
shortage of food.
Matrimonial agencies say matrimonial bust
ness is particularly brisk, and newspapers are
carrying columns of advertisements setting forth
the ~longings of individuals who take this means
to realize their fondest hopes.
Ministers in the rural districts and the peas
ant villages have benefited particularly by the
increase in weddings, profiting even in cases
where the contracting parties suffered from lack
of cash.
Among the peasants the practice has become
popular for the bride and bridegroom to present
the minister with a young pig, a few chickens,
geese or ducks, or lard, fruit or potatoes, instead
of the almost worthless mark.
Country jewel ;lers, keeping up with the times
gladly accept goats, sheep or calves, butter, eggs
or fats in return for a wedding ring. Food, i'll
fact, is much preferable almost everywhere to
the constantly falling mark.
In Berlin and other cities, as we'll as in the
country districts, the percentage of marriages,
based on population, is somewhat larger than in
normal times.

SERVICE IN
MOVING GRAIN CROP
IS GREAT ACHIEVEMENT

The principal grain dealers in the
large markets are giving the rail
roads credit for performing tho best
service to grain interests in years.
Recent rains caught much wheat in
the shock with the consequence that
1t was very wet when threshing be-
gan. Ordinarily at this time of year
the country dealer would not buy this
grain. lest he could not get cars. or
the railroads would not be able TO
handle to the terminals before the
grain got out of condition. The
natural result of the dealers refusal
to buy would be that a lot of grain
would deteriorate on the farm and
threshing would stop.
One of the chief handlers says:
This year however, the railroads
furnished country dealers with cars
Immediately and gave wonderful dis
patch to the terminals. After the
grain was sold all the elevators buy
ers at terminals felt sure because
they knew the railroads would switch
grain to the elevators which they
promptly did. Result Chicago
market alone has had a large amount
or damp grain which sod at very
small discounts, saving the farmer
a very large amount per bushel. and
all of the grain has been saved by
reaching terminal elevators which
had facilities for conditioning and
putting grain in such shape tina II
could be used as bread wheat. The
railroads are deserving of n great

Learn to Adjust

The survival of the fittest is the rule through
out business life, and rightly so. 1t is not cruel;
it does not signify that anybody must starve or
be without employment. 1t simply means that
people must adjust themselves to existing condl-
tions. No one can have Il claim to live on some
one else, perhaps no better off than himself.
There is a place for everyone, but perhaps not
lust where he is or at just the kind OF work
he is doing. If conditions pinch, he must under
stand that this is simply the sign by which peo-
pie are prompted to hustle around and find
where they belong or change their methods to
what they ought to be.
Wouldn't he rather do that of his own free
will than have, some overhead authority move
him around like an automaton and tell him
all his life just what he shall do and what he
shall get for doing it?
The pressure of discomfort, and finally of
necessity, is the natural pressure by which the
industrial organization is kept in balance and
by which all improvements are introduced.
1t has been the experience of many people that
changes which they were forced by economic
conditions TO make, and which at the time were
thought disastrous, eventually proved to be to
their permanent advantage.

To Hold Conference

Methodist missionary in the Philip

residents as superintendent OF the

"Our Father in heaven
Your kingdom come;
Give us today bread for the day,
And forgive us our debts as we have forgiven
our debtors;
And do not subject us to temptation but save
us from the evil one"
We very much doubt if the omission of two
principal petitions "Hallowed be they name"
and 'Thy will be done on earth as it is in
heaven makes any improvement whatever. The
original prayer is beautiful enough as it is. And
besides there are all the traditions and sentiment
surrounding it that devout Christians will be
10th to surrender for a mere matter of brevity
which is the utmost DR.. Goodspeed has accom-
plished.
1t is not a matter Of short Of long prayers in
this day, it is rather a matter of praying at
all. Too many are emitting this form of acknowl-
edgement of the existence of n deity, and would
rather point to the framed prayer upon the wall
as expressing their sentiments.
And it may be said of those who do pray, like
those who preach that their religion would be-
come more real if they would practice what they
pray.
There can be no excuse for changing or amend
ing the Lords Prayer. Simply find a way of get
ting its into general use among the people and
take Il chance on its length.

The Way of Progress

In all kinds of business the marginal, high
cost producer is just existing while the law
cost producer is making money. So long as the
relation between supply and demand is such
that the output of the high-cost producer is re-
quired, prices will remain high enough to induce
him to continue operations, and he serves as an
umbrella for all low-cost producers. They get
the same price he does, and are entitled to it.
In time, however, as low cost production in
creases, the high cost production is undersold
and eliminated, and the market is established
on the lower basis. 1t is the only way, because
it is the way of progress.

Abraham Lincoln cannot be compared with

circumstances under which he lived and labored.

an all-wise Providence provides the man for the
emergency. And then what an inspiration he

Americanl BY his sterling integrity TO thought

Amending the Lords Prayer

DR.. Edgar Goodspeed, of Chicago University
has been experimenting with the Lords prayer.
The object of his carpenter work being to abbre-
viate or condense it. He seems to believe that the
reason the original is not now as popular and in
general use as formerly is because of its length.
That it is difficult to memorize and that so often
beginners unaccustomed to praying, forget the
words and sentences and the result is a garbled
supplication that is in no sense effective.

arise the good doctor presents an amended YER
