Appeals to Sportsmen

Editor Tribune: 1 read with in
forest your article in the Issue Of
the sixth. on the subject of the IL
legal killing of beaver. and I want
to ask you for n little space to put
the matter before the public.
The Game and Fish department
Is sadly undermined on account of
inadequate funds. n each man
has to cover a territory so large
that the best he can do Is only a
fraction of what should be done.
Now; I want to make an appeal
to the real sportsmen and those
who want to see our game and fish
protected, so that our children can
enjoy at least a measure of sport.
whenever a breach of the game
and fish law comes to your notice,
report the matter at once to the
Game and Fish department, and /
will assure you that 1t will receive
immediate attention
1t is the duty. and should be the
pleasure of all true sportsmen to
do this, and If, when any violations
of the game and fish laws come to
your notice. you will at once notify
the nearest officer. giving him all
of the data you can, and signing
your name. you will find that we
will soon begin to get results. and
violations will decrease.
The automobile has removed the
factor OF distance In hunting and
fishing. and the supply of game and
fish is limited. so IL we can not get
the cooperation of the public in the
enforcement of the law. the time is
not far distant when we will have
neither.
My district embraces southern
Natrona, Northern Carbon, South
eastern Fremont and Northeastern
swe etwater counties and any viol'
atoms occurring therein should be
reported to me and will receive my
prompt attention.

Not Isolated Nation

y Edward Nelson Dingley is considered an au-
thority upon general governmental matters ne
is an assiduous researcher, and contributes
much information of public value. lie mas JUST
presented a number of specific facts controVert-
ing the often repeated charge that the ohlteu
States is an isolated nation and desires so TO De-
Among other things he shows that the united
States from its very foundation has mad rela-
lions with all other civilized nations through the
CAPITALS of Europe. Moreover, as he also points
ont the United States touched the great powers
of Europe in a vital spot upon the announcement
of the Monroe Doctrine, which was certainly a
nartic;nation in world affairs. Although the
war with Spain was precipitated by the sinking
Of one of our battleships in a Spanish harbor,
vet this war was conducted and its aftermath
was guided in accordance with humanitarian
nuprposes rather than for selfish national in
terest.
Mr.. Dingley might have enumerated other In
stances in which the United States participated
in world affairs where our own interests were
probably no greater than those of many other
countries. Prior to 1854 Japan had kept her
ports closed to the commerce of all other ma
lions. The United States undertook to bring
about a change in that policy and sent Com
modore Perry to conduct negotiations. The re-
suit was not only the termination of the isola-
ton OF Japan so 1ar as Ine Onlteu otates WAS
concerned, but the opening of the ports of that
country to all other nations. Japan has always
been grateful for our part in developing her for
eign commerce.
For many years during the early period of
our Republic, it had been the custom of all the
maritime nations to pay tribute to the Barbary
powers to secure exemption from the depreda-
tions of their pirates. The sending of American
battleships to Barbary ports and the submission
of an ultimatum to the authorities there, not
only brought about remuneration of all claims
to tribute SO far as the United States was con-
cerned, but terminated the payment of this
tribute by other nations as we'll.
1t the time of the Boxer Rebellion in China,
with its injury to the nationals and the property
interests of other countries, the United States
participated along with other world powers in
the re-establishment of law and order. The
United States made no claim for indemnity, and
payments in the nature of PREPARATIONS were de-
voted to the education of citizens of China.
The United States has not been isolated in
the past and it is not isolated today. The only
remotely possible basis for the charge that the
United States is isolated is that it insists upon
its right to determine from time to time the oc.
casion and the nature of our participation in
world affairs. We yield to no other nation the
right to tell us how and when and where we
shall act.

Imperiling Education

Back in the days of long ago it was said that
"once n school teacher, always a school teacher"
Once dedicating her life to imparting learning
to the younger generation, the school teacher
stayed put. In other words she never forsook
her calling. turned her back on her job, or quit
school teaching. In that blessed day it was not
infrequent that three, and very common that two
generations of n family attended school taught
by the same teacher. There was no age limit then
and seventy was regarded young for a school
teacher. Learning was not so common or plenti-
full as now. The teacher occupied n particular
niche in the life of the community. She was high
brow and mostly from Boston, which accounted
for 1t. She held herself aloof and set the moral
pace for the town. She did not attend dances or
frequent t~heaters, because there was n rule In
the black book of the board of education that
forbade such p%astimes. She had n hard, solemn,
rocky and uninteresting road to travel. She
never married, because school teachers we're not
expected TO marry, just teach school children
that was all they had to do. 1t would be n scan
dhl to marry, Another reason why she never
married was because she never attended any

a mule.
There was no accident to the

were thrown clear of the rails. some
of them landing in the hot water
pond that from the wells and
some landing on the river side nj

work removing the dead animals
from the water and hauling them
away to be disposed of.

Organize Girl Scouts

RIvERTON-Within the last few
weeks a local organization of the
Girl Scouts of America has been per
fected in Riverton. The organization
is one OF international scope, and the
work is very similar to that carried
on by the Boy Scouts.
Scouting for girls was originated
by Sir Robert Baden Powell in Eng
land and the members are known
there as Girl Guides. The first Girl
Scout was n French Canadian
M~agdelaine DeVercheres-and the
honor Of the first American Girl
Scout has been awarded Sacajawea,
THE Bird Woman"
Membership in the organization in
Riverton is open to any girl between
the ages of ten and eighteen.

wilder party than a unite society or a lady's
aid, and gallants even in that day did not fire.
quent these social affairs. Poor girl had no
chance to meet the eligibles of the period, who
drove side-bar buggies and took an occasional
drink. The only ones who had the enterprise to
thrill a girl with the old bunk that has ever been
new since Adam sprung it on the innocent and
guileless Eve.
So the school teacher, of, let us say the Vic
torian period, remained as faithfully celibate as
did the sister of mercy. She just fought school.
That was all. And that was enough. Men were
much more difficult to teach and apparently
much less worth while.
In this year of grace things have changed.
The change has not come all at once, it has crept
upon us gradually and largely without our
knowledge. 1t must be the advancement of civil
ization that has overetaken us. The school teach
ers of this day and the day referred to are as
different as it is possible to make two sets of
young women. There is nothing prim or austere
about the girls who are engaged in imparting in
formation to the young by sight and sound in
this day. You can't tell them from the rest of
female humanity. If it is the style to wear
bobbed hair, they wear it. If fashion DEGREES
short skirts, they have them first. If ear rings
come in, they wear 'em more distinctive.
There is nothing in dress, department or even
iedIhlHS u distinguish them from Otner 1OlkS.
And what's more, the modern school teacher mar
ries. She is bright, attractive, dresses we'll and
has it all over the teacher of the older day
when it comes to charming and tanning the wise
guy of the male species. She fares forth with her
hat cooked over one eye, in search of adven-
ture and usually bring back the bacon, and then
there is a vacancy in the teaching force, and work
for the substitute.
So busy has the modern school teacher been
of late, being rounded up by Cupid that she
has caused a shortage of competent and qualified
help in the schools of n dozen cities in the coun-
try. School boards are becoming discouraged
and superintendent beside themselves with vex-
alton. These school authorities are bowling lust
lily. They make no secret of their complaints.
They say it is like this: They chase all over crea.
ton to find competent young women for school
work and after a few years service, it is dis
appointing to have them resign, to take up the
business of giving orders to husbands.
AS n regular thing, superintendent, prin.
clples and boards of education are more inter
ested in securing good teachers and keeping
them, than they are in the nuptial hazards of
the young ladies who fill the teaching require
ments.
1t is a large question, and we do not presume
TO answer 1t or even suggest a way to sidestep
the calamity that impends the education of tbe
youth of the land. If we only had a SUNNY of
those old girls that once held sway in school
rooms before potted plants and pictures on the
walls came in, all would be we'll. The tanners
could go on their way to. what misery or bappi-
ness that awaited them, but education would not
be endangered.
