Indian Wild West

CODY@rhe Indian wild West
show at Pryor Gap o Sunday and
Monday labor Day is one Of the
most picturesque events in this sec
ton. They camp for days along the
creek near tho primitive race track,
getting their horses ready for the big
tests of speed visiting and holding
their dances In the evening.
This occasion settles all disputes
rs to the relative merits Of their
horses and riders. SO to win or lose in
the various events is of the utmost
Importance to the various entries and
contestants. They are all out &c
win in whatever they enter and there
is no question of 'frame-ups" or pull
ing horses. Whipping from the jump
they ride for all that is in them and
defeat is a hard pill to swallow fol
the who have been Boosting
Of their horses speed for months.
This year the white and Indian
boys on the reservation have made
a special effort TO have q good pro
gram and the affair promises to be
well worth seeing.

Why Not Send the Boys.

Young Mr.. Harcourt Amory,- Jr, Of Beacon
street. BOSTON. scion of an aristocratic family,
has the right stuff in him. 1t Is seldom one or
his social and financial situation feels called
upon to go into politics to accomplish a thing
in which he earnestly believes, to take the prunt
of the thing, to even contest, hand to hand with
others for the favor of the people. There arc
go often so many easier ways to the
same purpose.
But Young Mr.. Amory is sincere. Tho old Yam
kee spirit has arisen in him and he Is Wiling 70
do and die for a friend in whom he believes; II
is refreshing. And would that thousands OF other
Young men would take a similar interest In pub
lie matters that their ancestors deemed 1t a priv
ilege so to do.
Young Mr.. Amory announces his candidacy for
a delegateship to the Republican National con,
vention of 1924, from the eleventh congressional
district of Massachusetts,, pledged to the sup
port of Calvin Coolidge for president. In his an
nouncement Mr.. Amory says:
at have faith In Calvin Coolidge. I believe no
other man in this country today Is SO thoroughly
equipped with a knowledge of the problems fac
ing the nation, and the ability to solve those
problems. 1 believe that no other man can com.
mand the good will and support OF all factions
of our people during the period OF unseaslness
and unrest through which we are passing. His
record in public life has gained for him the con-
fidence of people in all walks of life. He has the
patience, the firmness, the ~sagacity and the en-
during powers which the high office OF presi-
ueuC ueiuailu.
This boy, for he is only ,twentynine, tells the
Republicans of Massachusetts that he does not
propose to go to the convention and cast a few
ballots for Mr.. Coolidge. If they send him they
are sending nothing less than a last ditcher.
There is where he will be found on the last bal
lot, voting for the man he has faith in.
1t is a worthy example Mr.. Amory is setting
the young men of the nation of his age. More of
them ought to follow the example set them. The
hope of the Republican party, and of the nation
for that matter, centers in the young men. They
should not wait until they are gray headed be
fore they aspire to take a hand in president
making. 1t Is really more of a young mans job
than an old mans job anyway. The old men Of
both parties have made some horrible mistakes
in their time. The boys could certainly do no
worse.
Then next year what will be wrong with leav-
ing the old boys at home and sending the young
ones to the convention.
They don't want to wait a life time to learn
the practical part of making a president.

the waning powers of the sun and that change
in climate" which it Is the delight Of many peo-
pie to see in or predict from anything at all
unusual in the weather.
This tendency is closely related to the queer
fact of the sea captains who come to port In
winter with tales of encountering "the worst
storm in forty years at sea" These statements
are perfectly honest in that the captains think
they are telling the truth, but those worst
storms in forty years" are annual affairs, and
emily illustrate the human tendency to exaggerate
the near at the expense of the far-a tendency
the superlatives employed in describing them
by the way, that merely matches the opposite
tend9ncy to exaggerate the far at the expense OF
the near. That most human beings should have
both tendencies, and yield to ono and the other
alternately, is one of the many charming incon-
sistencies that mark the race and make it in.

Violated Road Law

wHEATLAND-A fine of s25 and
costs was assessed against L. c. Rem
shaw, a local farmer. in cot of
Justice OF the Peace Scheie for re-
fuslng to turn to the right with his
team when signaled from behind by
George Hiatt. who wished to pass
him with his automobile.
According to the testimony of wit
nesses, Renshaw was driving towards
Wheatland along the stretch of
Yellowstone Highway Immediately
west of town when Hiatt came
up behind. On Hats signal
Renshaw turned his team to the left
instead Of the right. as the law re
quired. Hiatt then repeatedly sig
nailed to Renshaw to turn to the
right. but he failed to do so. and fin
ally forced Hiatt to pass on the right.
Hiatt swore out a complaint as dep

to trial. Renshaw did not deny

Quite a Liquor Bill

From the official figures Of the Illinois pro
hibition enforcement office 1t is learned that the
people of that state paid approximately $4,000,
900 for medicinal whiskey last year. 1t is esti-
mated that 2,2s9,6OO prescriptions were filled.
The number Of blank prescriptions used was
nearly a million more than printed by the gov.
eminent, indicating that someone else than the
government was printing them.
t So a prescription, the usual charge, physi.
clans may have collected $6,S6S,000 and author.
lied druggists, at $3.50 a pint got $S,013,6 GOO, max
ing a total Of $14,SS1 600.
lille the sum involved In these figures does
not approach Illinois drink bill previous to pro,
~hibition, still it is plenty large.
With forty-seven other states operating under
the same law some with larger and many with
much smaller population, the question naturally
arises where does the liquor all come from?
Then when you take into consideration tho
vast number of Illicit distilleries in operation
over the country, no state in the forty eight be.
ing free from them, and the tremendous amount
of liquor struggled across the borders Of Canada
and Mexico and the Atlantic and Pacific sea
coasts you are convinced that while We are dry
we are wet, and while there has been large i'm.
p%rovement and greater happiness under prohi
bition still there is not as much of either as
could be desired.

county jail charged with intent t.

II seems hal Rosa had a grudge

glanced around his body coming out
and then hitting Sandoval, who was
standing a short distance away, in

The Real Cause

The leading alienist for the state of Missouri
In noting the increased insanity rate in his state
ascribes 1t to "the reckless purchase Of motor
cars which leaves many persons in financial
straits and causes worry about their Debts"
The good doctor may be right in some cases
but not in the great majority of them. Missouri
ians can be but little different from other motor
car drivers, and when they do go crazy it is not
from worry over paying for their car or of where
the money is coming from to keep it filled with
gasoline and oil. What sets them crazy is figur-
ing on what the fool driver ahead is going to
do next or whether the pedestrian at the inter.
section is going to cross the street or remain
where he is.

This can be secured by the administration of eco.

DEFY OREGON EDICT

The situation at Monterey, where
the Peristas or followers Of Alfredo
Perez. have taken charge OF the gov
ernor's palace, and the threatening at
titude of the followers of Gen. Por-
firio Gonzales, who on the face ct the
returns received majority OF the
votes for chief executive. is becoming
rather complicated. Gen. Plutarco
Gales, one of the presidential candi-
dates, is in Monterey, and is supposed
TO be taking a direct hand in tine
movements, but with fine Italian
hand. as Alfredo Perez is close
friend and compadre of Antonio l..
Yillareal, also candidate for the
presidency.
The friendship OF Perez and Villa
real dates back to the time, when they
together with Poncho Castro were in
dicted at Laredo by a federal grand
jury for conspiring to put on foot a
military expedition to take over the
garrison at Nuevo Laredo. then in
charge of the Carrancista forces, botn
Villareal and Perez being refugees in
San Antonio. at that time.
However. Gen. Elias Gales has bit.
terly opposed the recent decree OF
President Oregon. which nullified the
recent state elections and in WHICH
event the minister of gobernacion who
may be appointed TO succeed General
Gales, will name the provisional gov
ernor of the state, who may call new
elections, unless a writ of amparo is
granted by the supreme court. In this
event, the provisional governor will
hold on until the courts decide the
election contest between Perez AMI
Gonzales. The present governor. whose
term of office expires. is Ramiro
Tamez. friendly to Alfredo Perez, an
who at the suggestion OF General
Gales. turned lover the reins of gov
eminent and the state buildings to
Perez.
Same Situation Elsewhere.
A very much similar condition
/, ,~ssts in the state of San Luis 70
tosi, where Jorge Prieto Lorenz has
assumed the governorship, backed by
the national congress having also de-
fled q presidential edict. which nulil-
fled the elections OF that state.
In the state of Queretaro the gen.
eral and DIR. Suirob is also contesting
the elections in the courts, and two
legislatures are in session.

ernor Enrique Colunga. recently in
stalled in the state Of Guanajuato has
