Re-enacting the Old West

Casper is witnessing a renaissance of the wild
and wolly of forty years ago in the performances
being enacted at the rodeo grounds and the sights
and far into the night Tho Indians from the near.
by reservations with their gay trappings have
brought back the days when such things were com.
monplace in many portions of west, now recalled by
none but the thinning ranks of the old timers.
Local cowboys and professional performers from
a distance are re-enacting old tricks and reproduc-
ing old performances that occurred in the daily
work of the puncher of the old school, now grow
ing scarcer and scarcer. To the reproduction of
the old and real, many new and marvellous per-
formances are added for the entertainment of the
public, more in the nature of modern circus feats.
The whole show finds an interested and cnthusias-
tic audience for every feature of the program, for
Casper people are not home grown people, familiar
with all of the stunts known on the old time COW
ranch and on the wide ranges of the days before
barbed wire became popular and the cedar post an
article of commerce. The Casper audience is fairly
new to wild west stuff. Our people are mostly east
erners and new Corners and when it is said that
they are interested, it only half expresses it. They
fairly eat the show up.
After this week there will be fewer chaps and
spurs and five gallon hats, and gaudy shirts and
neckerchiefs and eagle feathers, elk teeth and
bears claws in evidence. We will return to the
business of manufacturing oil and gasoline and
other occupations and depend upon the children to
keep our memories fresh as to details until another
rodeo is pulled.

Fine Example

Alvin NJ. owsley, national commander of the
American Legion is himself the best example of
the fact that the old sectional antagonism between
the people OF the north and south engendered by
the Civil war, has been wiped out and forgotten.
The direct descendant of Confederate veterans
he is today promulgating a higher quality OF
Americanism and unionism than many of his asso-
ciates of the north. whose special Inheritance this
prerogative has been from veterans of the Union
cause.
Commander owsley who takes pride In proclaim.
ing his personal adherence to the Democratic party,
takes equal pride in the announcement that the
American Legion is not now and never will become
a political organization If he can prevent 1t.
If he is a Democrat he is by no means on or
thodox one, for in his Casper address n few days
since he arraigned in merciless manner the lead
ers of that party for their inefficiency, grating
and general shortcomings in the conduct of the
war under the Wilson administration.
That portion of the commanders address resem-
bled nothing quite so much as it did n bitter par
tisan arraigument of Mr.. Wilson's administration
fashionable in leading Republican newspapers
back in the days of the 1920 presidential contest.
Nevertheless the commander is honored for his
expression of candid opinion and historical truth
and more can be said for him and others like him.
The best expression of Americanism and real pa.
triotism in this day is coming from south of the
Mason and Dixon's line.

Blast Releases Toad

RIvERTON. wyo.. July 31.-Work-
men engaged in removing oal from
the Goodman mine at Alkali Butte
last week unearthed a peculiar look
ing toad over two hundred feet under
the surface imprisoned in a small
pocket about eight inches in diameter.
The toad was remorGd from the cav-
ity and taken TO one of the bunk
houses where 1t is claimed 1t came to
life. While It seems incredible that
a toad or any other creature could
exist in a comatose state for per-
haps thousands of years. nothing is
entirely impossible these days. and
it may yet be that the little creature
will confess 1t as a fact that he was
one of King Tut's favorite pets.
The toad is described as being diff
ferent from the little fellows prog
enies of the present day in that he
has a peculiar mottled skin. is odd
shaped in body and has a large sac
attached to his lower jaw. He will
be sent to an institute where he may
b. examined. diagnosed and a name
attached to him that will resemble a
scrambled alphabet.

An Old Controversy

In the current discussion of erich mems sons
a discussion often carried on before and started
anew by Charles NJ. Schwab's humorous character.
ization of them while testifying in the Morse case
it has been remarked that n young man is not
necessarily open to censure because he enters his
fathers factory or shop or store with reluctance
and shows no great heart in his work after he gets
there. If he should prefer activities of some other
sort, and even if the activities were not what the
father would call profitable, he may have his rea.
sons, and the reasons may be good ones.
The education and training of this rich mans
son have been quite different from the fathers,
and especially from those of fathers called self.
made" That his tastes in many cases should be diff
ferent is not criminal. The alternative to follow.
ing in a rich fathers footsteps and continuing
or charging a rich fathers business is not to be.
come a waster and a wastrel. 1t may be the doing
of things quite as admirable and virtuous as is
the making of money-even more admirable and
.virtuous than is the making of more money than
any man really needs.
Work is all right, of course, and idleness is bad,
with dissipation and loose living still worse, for
anybody, but the young man whose labors would
not be to Mr.. Schwab's liking in n steel mill might
be better as well as worse employed than there.
And If one is not obliged to "make a living as
the phrase goes, why not employ ones intelligence
and time In ways which though unproductive OF
money, yet are not without results OF some yalue
to those who value them?
Thene is Significance, too often unnoted. in the
TACT that but few sons OF rich men, much as they
ane criticised, erer go 10 jail Those institutions
get a great majority of their inmates from AMONG
those Wao hare enioyed the imaginary benefits
OF poverty and hardship In their youth.

Summer School Opens

GILLETTE. Wyo.. July s1.-Stud-
les in the Teachers summer normal
school commenced with an enroll
ment Of 6s. and it is anticipated that
this will be increased considerably by
the end of this week. Washouts
and bad roads caused by the recent
rains nave made travel disagreeable.
An announcement was made that
they would be more lenient with the
late registration due to these causes
Mr.. McWhinnie is here supervising
the registration of students and also
helped in organizing the school,. He
informs us that according to presi-
dent Crane 1t is the policy OF the
university to continue this branch of
summer school in this section Of the
state. Miss Ora Butler is assisting
in the registration.
Conductor l.. r. Foote addressed
the students and gave a very i'm
pressive talk on the conduct OF the
teacher. He said. 1.-THE conduct of
a teacher is not that of a lawyer or
preacher or any other profession. ex-
cept tina of q teacher. and the OBJ
ject of this summer school is to
teach that conduct and the students
to learn 1t while here" He express
ed himself as very much pleased with
tho school building saying that he
found 1t very suitable for all needs
of a summer school and thanked ths
people of Gillette for its use.

A Revolutionary Proposal

Magnus johnson the new senator from Mime
sofa tells the world that he is taking to congress
with him a goodly supply of horse sense an article
which he also tells the world congress has every.
thing else but. Possibly the senator is right. 1t
has been a long time since anyone charged congress
with having horse sense, and even then the person
so charging might have been in error.
Being fresh from the farm and a district where
such animals are still used Mr.. johnson ought
to be tolerably familiar with the article he pro
poses to take with him to Washington to leaven a
hard boiled congress.
Just how he proposes to go about injecting horse
sense into the systems of congressman already
cluttered up with so many and SO various other ba-
cilli, with any hope of favorable reaction to the
serum of horse sense Mr.. johnson does not vouch-
safe explanation or calculation.
1t is feared he is speechifying for home consump-
ton. When he actually reaches the senate it may
be different. 1t is said that congress has a way
all its own of tanning any new member who joins
with revolutionary and ambitious schemes of re-
form and the overturning of moss-encrusted pre-
cedents. Mr.. Johnson's proposal is basically revolu-
tionary. 1t could never become popular in con-
gress. 1t is all right to tell the home folks, but
once he looks congress over he will abandon his
project.

No Buyers Strike

The fear, on the part of manufacturers and
wholesalers, that a buyers strike will ensue at
new prices when new goods have passed into the
hands of retailers and are offered for sale, would
seem mfounded. The needs of the country for al
most all lines of commodities are still large. The
ability to purchase is governed to great extent
by wages paid. While equitable wage readjustment
has not reached all employments it is gradually
doing SO, and if a socalled buyers strike ever oc-
ours it will extend only to employments in which
the employed receive less than sufficient to provide
commodities other than the necessities.
The people seem still to desire more things and
better things than they enjoyed in pre-war times.
and the buyers strike of a few years since was
not aimed so much at the price of goods as at their
quality. The war brought a vast amount of shoddy
stuff at high prices. When it was attempted to in
duce the people to absorb these goods, they re-
belled. And they were right.
When the people are offered honest goods Mt even
what they deem a high price, they will buy the
honest goods in preference to the shoddy stuff.
There is slight danger Of q buyers strike. The
buyers, meaning the ultimate consumers, have a
long list of unsatisfied wants and the majority
can find the money to crafty them

Our Rainy Summer

Not in many years has Wyoming known such n
continuous rainy season so late in the summer.
Rain has visited almost every section of the state
frequently since late in the spring. In many local
tiles the rainfall has been away above the aver
age and in consequence streams have overflowed
their confines and caused enormous loss to rail
roads and much damage to ranch and town prop
erty along such water courses.
1t formerly was a proud boast of certain sections
OF the state that the annual rainfall amounted to
thirteen to fourteen inches. 1t is not doubted that
such districts have experienced that amount of
rainfall in the past ninety days.
AS n consequence of the unusual amount of rain
Wyoming landscapes are beautiful to behold. The
usual dry and brown hills of late July are green
and smiling today, while crops of all sorts promise
an abundant harvest.

To Insure Water Supply

The people Of Casper are face to face with a
water supply problem. The present water facilities
provide only a few hours excess supply. If any
accident should occur occasioning n shut down Of
the pumping plant for a half day the people would
be without water for domestic purposes and the
property of the city would be at the mercy OF any
fire that might occur.
This is not information for scare purposes. 1t is
a PLAIN statement of existing facts. The growth OF
the city has been so phenomenal that the city
authorities could not meet present demands and
provide for the future as they would like in tho
water department. The council has prepared and
submitted to the voters of the city a proposition
for bonding the city in a sufficient sum to provide
the necessary .enlargements to the city plant to In.
sure a sufficient supply for the ensuing few years,
let the population be what it may.
There can be no two opionions respecting such
a contingency. The people must have wnter. The
peoples property must be protected from loss by

The President Illness

The country hears with great regret of the illness
of President Harding following a strenuous
speech-making trip across the country and a jour
ney through Alaska. Stripped of the mystery with
which physicians always invest the ailments of
those occupying high place, the president appears
to be really a sick man. His illness in the first in
stance, on landing from Alaska was caused by
%ptomaine poisoning. 1t now develops that he ever
taxed his strength in both speech-making and travel
and as a result a weakness in the functioning OF
the heart is manifest.
Just how serious this weakness is and its char
acter is not reported in the bulletins issued by
those in charge. The hope is that the presidents
Interpretation is only temporary. He is ordinarily
