Railroad Problem Termed
Too TiCkIiSh for President,
Dry Assurances Absurd
With Beer Sentiment
BY DAVID LAWRENCE

SOMEWHERE OUT WEST, July
3.-This is a story about a super
common citizen. Someone described
President Harding that way in Kan
sas. Well, listen to another super
common citizen who heard the pres
ident's speech in Wyoming and who
has read most of the others. Maybe
he is typical Of the west and maybe
he is not. But certainly no one would
accuse big Charlie Irwin, of lun-
friendliness to Warren Harding.
Irwin is well known from one end
Of Wyoming to the other, occupies
the position of general agent for one
of the railroads, has a big ranch of
his own, is in close touch with all
kinds of enterprises and has been a
vital part of many of them himself.
Eyes, sir" he said by way of in
PRODUCTION as he settled some 250
pounds of himself in the smoking
car. Il like Harding and want to
see him reelected, but he's declar-
ing himself too much"
what do you mean by that?"" the
writer inquired.
Silence Is Golden
"Well," drawled Irwin, you see a
good many years ago my brother,
Fred, and I came to Wyoming as a
ed a job. There had been a good
deal of cattle thieving and lots of
shooting and [ knew they wouldn't
take just anybody without looking
'em over pretty carefully.
1--WE went up to the Carey's to see
what could be done. L told my
brother, Fred, it would take lot of
conversation to land the job and
told Inn to speak up. We got the job
all right but L noticed during the
talk that my brother Fred never
said a word. When we got outside,
l asked him why he hadn't spoken up,
and this is what he answered: How
in H. would he know but that L
was the smartest man in the world
if I didn't say nuthfn'.
You see, it is a mistake for a
man to say too much. Hughes went
around the country making speeches
and you know what happened to
him. Same way with Cox. In politics,
| don't think it pays to say too much.
Now, out IN Wyoming, Harding made
a good western talk. 1t was fine.
And there's no doubt the people are
leaning too heavily on the federal
government and saying Let George
do it. And he's right when he says
the War Finance corporation saved
the state Of Wyoming. Lots of PEG
pie have forgotten that we borrowed
twelve million dollars from the gov
eminent. But we have got to pay
all that back.
Kansas City Mad
az was in Kansas City the other
day after the president talked there
and [ tell YOU the fellows up there
were boiling mad over that speech.
Yes, sir, they were bitter. NOW, L
say, what's the use of his declaring
himself about consolidation OF fall-
roads. That's something the inter
state commerce commission can work
out and he needn't set mixed up in
it.
Another thing, that speech at
Denver was a mistake. Just as sure
as you and I are sitting here today
beer is coming back. The prohibl-
ton stuff is a farce. I voted dry but
I won't do it again.
Il am not a drinking man.
don't believe I've had more than

MAKES EFFORT
TOWARD RUHR PEACE

ROME, July 3.-(By the Associat-
ed Press.)-The Stefani Agency,
semi official organ, declares that, &C.
cording to information obtained at
the vatican, Pope Plus has instruct
ed the papal nuncio i'll Berlin to
make representations to the Ger
man government with a view to Sc
curing cessation of the passive re-
sistance in the Ruhr.
The pope's message to the nuncio
makes reference to the Huisburg
outrage and says:
while the Holy Father by his
letter is endeavoring to induce the
powers to arrive at a friendly under
standing, he. begs them to suspend
any action which may prevent it
and deeply regrets to hear of any
acts of sabotage in the occupied
territories and other crimes,- under,
the pretext of passive resistance.
The pope charges you to make Wig
orous representations to the Ger
man government that it may once
for all condemn such criminal re-
sistance, which is condemned by
the HOLY Father himself"

Two Suspects Held
In Daring Hold-up
Of St. Louis Offices

ST. LOUIS, July 3.-Two suspects
are being he'd for questioning to-
day and the police are searching the
surrounding country for seven
bandits who late yesterday staged a
daring holdup in the offices of the
United Railways companies and es-
capped in two automobiles with $685.
306 in currency.
The bandits entered the office,
pointed pistols at about thirty en-
ployes, reached the paymaster's
cages, scooped up the money
which was being put into pay en-
velopes, and escaped amid a hail of
shot from company employees.
Officials of the company expressed
hte belief the robbery was instigated
from the inside because the raid
was carried out so speedily and sys-
tematically.
