Trouble Piles Up

SHERIDAN. April 2s.-Every day

North Val Vista street. finds the path
of life growing rougher and rougher.
Three weeks ago she was arrested
and placed in the county Jail on a
charge Of having passed worthless
checks on Sheridan merchants for
81 .945. She was unable to obtain
bond and is still in the county Jail.
Now NJ. p. Stutsman has filed a
criminal complaint against her in the
court OF Justice Scott X. Snively, al.
leging that OF or about September c
Mrs Album sold to one p. r. Roush
a mortgaged Ford automobile.
When quizzed about the alleged
criminal action Mrs. Album is said
to have told the officers that II the

stolen. saying that the last she knew
about the car it was in her garage.
She added hat she hadn't thought
it worth while to report the supposed
theft to the officers.

AMERICAN PEONAGE

According to testimony before
the Florida legislative committee in
the now celebrated peonage case,
the officials in one county, at least.
did a thriving business in prisoners.
Z The sheriff and his deputies
would round up a couple of auto
mobile loads of transients nearly
every day and bring them before
the court late in the evening. At
that court, a former jailer testified,
almost everybody except the pris-
oners was usually drunk. The pris-
oners would be tried for vagrancy
or riding freight trains.
Every one of them would be
warned, by the sheriff or his
deputies, that if he demanded trial
he would get six months, but if he
pleaded guilty he would get only
three months. Naturally they
would plead guilty. Then the
sheriff would turn them over to a
lumber company, in pursuance of a
contract he had with the company.
Whereby no would get $40 apiece
for the prisoners, and the jailer
would get a rakeoff as a witness
fee" After that, what became Of
the rrisoners was up - the COM
Tany which leased" them What
Happened in one case "a only too

the most good.

New Depot Probable

LARAMIE. wyo., April rs
Rumors are ahoat that the Union
Pacific officials have ordered renters
in the shacks on First street between
Garfield n Grand avenues, to va
cate before sixty days. There are
many acant houses in this section
at present and IT is said the railway
company has refused to rent them
again.
With the rumors comes the antici-
patton OF immediate construction on
the new Union Pacific depot or the
much discussed viaduct. The proper

depot.
Attempts to confirm the story this

SUCCESS IN THE EAST

When Frank A. Nanderlip, prom
inent New Yorker, speaks on finan-
cial matters there are few to ques-
ton the accuracy of his statements
or the soundness of his judgment.
But when he begins to make com
parsons between eastern and west
ern college graduates, he is at least
letting himself in for a lot of
heated argument.
Mr.. Vanderlip is quoted as say
ing: 81 am a great believer in the
college man in business. My ex-
perience proves to mo that a larger
per centage of western men, gen.
orally trained in public school and
state universities, succeed in New
York than eastern graduates.
while most of them suffer from
inferiority complex when they
mingle with Harvard, Yale and
Princeton graduates, that soor
wears off because of their strong
characters"
1t presents a pretty question
and one to which a lot of good col,
leges and universities in various
parts OF the country will add their
own, "And what about us?"

STARVING RUSSIA

The radical magazines are still
carrying advertisements which plead
for subscriptions to various Rus
sim relief funds, urging their
readers to forget any possible po-
litical or economic prejudices they
might entertain and to pour out
their money to save the lives of
women and small children. The ap-
peals are touching, and since the
space is valuable, there must be
some response.
Here is one. The Department of
Agriculture has received a radio
gram to the effect that Russia has
just sold 10000 tons of grain to
Germany. The amount is particu-
larly interesting inasmuch as the
Departments experts, after a care
full sizing up of last years crop,
estimated that something like TO-
900 tons would be available for ex-
port, and that even were this small
quantity sold beyond the Soviet
borders, the nations grain supplies
would be dangerously near the fam
inc line.
The grain that goes to Germany,
by the way, represents n part of
the "single food tax" devised to
appropriate what the peasants
raised. and levied ruthlessly. One
cannot but wonder where the
money from that 10000 tons is
going.

JUBILEES AND CLEAN
CTDEETC

Mayor, Hylan of New York has
been very busy promoting a city
jubilee. OF course, he has been
showered with suggestions. Per
haps one of the most pertinent, if
not the most f~lattering, was that
we have the streets of the city
cleaned just before the arrival of
the jubilating visitors.
Not content with the mere sug-
gestion the writer went on to re-
mark sarcastically; "There must still
be men in the department who
know how to do it. The achieve
ment would also supply to the citi-
zens themselves a cause for juice"
It is a suggestion which would be
applicable in many cites. Clean
streets seem to be one of the forms
of civic housekeeping most neg
lected. Yet there is nothing more
essential not only to the appearance
but to the comfort and health of
the town.
Big civic celebrations are good
in their way. They have their uses
in promoting civic pride and at
tracing interest in the town. But
whether it be in New York or else
where, they should not be promoted
at the expense, or to the exclusion,
of necessary public work.

country would want to do would
be to cast everybody, native or
foreign-born, into exactly the same
mold.
AS a matter of fact, there is no
definitely recognizable American
type. And if Americans became all
exactly alike, thinking, speaking
and acting alike, they would cease
to be Americans.
There should be unity in essen
tials-that is what Americanism
means. But real Am~ericanism
takes for granted difference in nom
essentials. 1t might even be said
necessary to make life worth living.

ALIENS GIFTS

DO we ever get outside Of our
selves and look at ourselves" asks
Margaret Sperry, in n letter to a
New York paper, ''and wonder why
in the name of reason we as a
nation are SO soggily intent on
A-mericanizing every man, woman
and child that comes here? Who
are we, anyway, that we want to
whittle down every man till he
looks like the automaton, the fake

"There's something the European,

bring u.s." she urges. But for the
most part we shove it aside or,
what is worse, go and peer at it
and poke shy, snobbish f~orefingers
into it and label it queer and in
teresting." She finds many things
in the foreign-born population to
admire and wonder at.
This point of view, extreme as ii
Is, represents a wholesome reaction
from the impossible ideal of turn
ing every immigrant into a 100
per cent American" Even II that
could be done, would it be al
