II zvisting British Lions Tail" Ceasing to Be
Popular as in Older DAYS Of Vote BaitiMg

By HON. JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS
United States Senator from Mississippi
"HERE is one diversion Of the
American politician we'll known
to the current history of the
United States for the last forty years
which used to be very popular, but
which, thank God, is ceasing to be
quite so popular now as it formerly
was. I refer to the attempt to cult
vate the voters who happen to hate
our British ancestors by twisting the
British lions tail"
A Senator has just said in his broad
way that the war cost the United
States almost as much as it did Great
Britain"
Why, it did not cost the United
States as much as it cost Canada.
1t did not cost the United States as
much as it cost Australia. Ii cost
the United States only little bit
more than it cost New Zealand
and South Africa, not in money
alone but i'm men. We did not
measure prices and expenses in
money alone there. We left $4,000
upon the field of battle. Great
Britain left something approach
ing 100000, if l remember cor
rectly. Little Canada alone left
twice as many upon the field as
we did, and Australia probably
nearly twice as many.
Not one word is said by him about
human life; not one word about hu-
man sympathy; not. one word about
saving civilization. He wants the
United States to be regarded as a
cool outsider who came to the aid IF
Great Britain, engaged in fighting
against Germany and Turkey and
Bulgaria and Austria-Hungary as if
we were col outsiders, as If It We're
no matter of ours. no affair Of ours,

When was the Junior high
school established?
In 1906 the department Of second
airy education of the National Educa-

mtttee to consider the matter thor

an actual attempt was made. In Co.
lumbus, Ohio. and in Berkeley, Gal,
IN 1909 two Junior high schools were
started. The Berkeley school was
given greater publicity than that of
Columbus and therefore the plan be-

Where did the magnetic COM
pass originate?
It's early history is involved in more
or less obscUrity. In a rough form
II is said TO have been known to the
Chinese 1000 years before the Chris
tan era, though this is more than
doubtful. The earliest reference to It
is a work by Alexander Neckan, en-
titled DE UtensiHbus" and written in
the twelfth century. He refers to 1t
as a needle on a pivot which, when
allowed to come to rest. shows the
navigator the direction in which to
steer. As early as the thirteenth cen
tury it seems to have been known to
the navigators Of all European ma
tons.

OH, GOODN COODY! = =.
mr.. WADE IS BACK


Well, look who's here-our old
friend, Mr.. Wade, the "goat-getter"
of the Anti-Saloon League! The last
we had heard of him was that he had
issued an ultimatum from Des Moines
Ia, which state he was delegated to
run, after an uninterrupted reign in
Wyoming. This Des Moines pronunci
amento was that he pledged all the
wealth and of Iowa to force
Governor AL Smith of New York to
respect the paid prohibitionists. Now
we have it from the Cheyenne Tri-
bune that Wade is returning to his
first love, Wyoming, and the Anti
Saloon League, to show it's apprecia-
ton, is going to throw in Montana
for him to run. And that'h not all,
he's going to have a staff to help him.
Let every Wyoming mayor, sheriff
and county attorney do a courtesy to
Mr.. Wade, and "snap into attention."
or he'll surely "get their goats" as
he promised to do not long since. We
hope our governor will have a salts
factory report to make to Mr.. Wade
on how the state has been run during
his absence.-Kemmerer Republican

Former Cody Boy
To Shoot Rapids OF
Big Horn Canyon

Basin, Wyoming,-Ted Huntington
and Charles McEachron have their
boat built and are planning for the
great adventure of a trip through,t the
Big Horn canyon, which causes Len
Murphy, who knows the canyon as
well as any other man, to declare
that he would never undertake a trip
of that nature.
In the winter of 1904, Mr.. Murphy
went through that canyon with a sur
veying party, and at various times
since that he has been a close obser-
yer of conditions as they exist in the
high water of the summer months.
He gives it as his opinion that on
boat a survive in the rapids of the
canyon and believes the boys cannot
get through alive.
He points out that it has been only
a few years since two young men at
tempted a similar trip and their
bodies were picked up later by the
indians at the other end of the can
yon.
Mr.. Murphy says that the great
boulders which has dropped into the
canyon in narrow places hake the
trip an impossible one. In places the
canyon narrows down to but a few
feet and in such places the walls are
very high. At the point where the
Devils canyon empties into the Big
Horn, he says, the walls of the canyon
are half q mile high.
From the mouth of Crooked creek
to the other side of the Canyon it is
26 miles and every mile of it is bad
going. Mr.. Murphy says he never
heard of anybody going through the
canyon during the high water of sum-
mer time.
And yet Huntington and McEach-
ron are preparing for the trip, and by
way of hurting defiance into the face
of fate, they have placed on the prov
of their boat the number "13."
