Another Car Thief

tourist said to be from California,

a Buick automobile belonging to p.
Peterson. Burlington railroad en-
gineer, and is the first person to
face the charge OF automobile steal
ing in Sheridan county since the

less than n year nor more than 10
years.
Mr.. Peterson's car, which had
been parked on Main street in front
of the Head Jewelry store. disap-
peared at about 5 o'clock in the
evening. The loss was reported to
the police and the sheriff and of
ficers OF nearby towns were warned
to be on the lookout for the ma.
chine.
Late the next afternoon the Buick
was found in the timber 20 miles
north OF Sheridan. Parkins was ar
rested by Sheriff Toy and was
placed in the Sheridan county Jail
to await arraignment.

Must Help Himself

Congressman Madden of Illinois, chairman OF
the house committee on appropriations has lalu
down a very god rule for reduction OF tax DUR
dsns, If he can only secure a successful enforce
ment of it. He desires taxes to be reduced Out
he knows fulwel nothing of this sort can really
be accomplished so long as congress or the sew
eral departments advocate extensive bulldlng OF
other programs, involving large sums OF money.
Costly projects with the Influence OF members
of congress back of them, who in turn nave the
weight of organizations and important citizens
back of the member urging the expenditures Is
not in the direction of either economy or the re-
duction of taxes. Mr.. Madden is as sure OF ms
as are the taxpayers back home. He is OF the
opinion that there should be a reversal OF the
policy of "ride your congressman for appropria-
lions and get all you cam and the adoption OF a
newer and more sensible and economic pollcy
with greater consideration for the people VINO
supply the money proposed to be spent.
Mr.. Madden's idea is contained in an appeal
to the taxpayers, themselves, to Tighten the Dur
den upon their own backs by bringing the pres
sure of public opinion to bear upon government
officials and congressman against the prevail
ing system of excessive public expenditures OBJ
tanned in the time honored way.
If the people do not desist in their demands
upon the public treasury and congress does not
take n firm stand against these demands, the
millions of people who pay the costs in taxes,
direct and indirect, can expect no relief from the
burdens they are now bearing.
A recess IN RONernlltHI expenditures u thc
kind not absolutely needed, will in a season or
two make n large difference in the tax payers
outgo. And it is about time that the government
was made to understand the necessity of further
and rigid economy and denial found SO absolute
" unavoidable by the taxpayer.
The money that provides the desirable public
improvements and conyeniences, must come from
some source; the government has no royal road
to wealth other than the one Travelled by the tax
payer. The money must come from the very
pockets of the taxpayer, himself. lie must dig
the coin and carry it to the tax office. In times
of stress in his own affairs if it is good business
for the taxpayer TO urge the expenditure of
money that he must turn about and sweat out,
then he will continue to urge and encourage his
congressman in lavish expenditures. If on the
other hand it appears to he good business to re-
frain, for n time, from piling up costs upon the
country's treasury, and at the same time enable
himself to crawl out from under his own load
of taxes, he will advise his servant at Washing
ton to oppose all ambitious schemes for money
spending. He will go further. He will help de-
velop a healthy public opinion in consonance
with his own and impress it upon congress and
public officials.
The taxpayer can expect no relief unless he
is willing to help in the fight for economy and
reduction in the cost of government.

Tourists Have Grief

RIvERTON.-M. J.. Cornell, his
sister and her daughter from Arl.
zona had n narrow escape from
drowning when they drove their
Hupmobile into a cloudburst at Big
Sand Draw above Bull Lake. They
had crossed gulch when a wall
Of water ten feet deep and 200 yards
wide came down another gulch Jus,
ahead of them. Mr.. Cornell got his
sister and her little girl out of the
car onto higher ground and at
tempted to save the car but IL wal
swept down stream a quarter of a
mile and most of their camp euuip,
ment was lost.
w. G. johnson found them
stranded while on his way to town
and took them to his ranch for the
night. taking them to Lander the
next day.
They remained there and salvaged
the car which was apparently badly
wrecked. but was so covered with
sand and debris that they were un.
able to extricate 1t without more
help. The top was torn off and one
wheel mashed as it was rolled over
and over down the gulch.
The members of the party all re
covered from their terrifying expert
ence and resumed their journey as
soon as their car was repaired.
The storm was very narrow, seem
ing to extend its entire force in the
hills near Bull Lake. Tho roads
were passable next day by detourins

The Myth of Buried Treasure

There is nothing more appealing to the adven.
turous and romantic spirit of the human race
everywhere than the quest of buried treasure
Jason's expedition for the golden fleece, the
knights of King Arthur's Court in their search
for the Holy Grail, and to come down to other
times, the attempts to discover Captain kidds
cache. All are matters that excited the interest
of many people and thrilled them with hope.
These are by no means all of the serious efforts
put forth to come into possession OF treasure
said to be fabulous. There were many more ex-
tending through time. Hunting treasure has a
distinct flavor of getting rich quick" that has
proved irresistible to men of every age since
gold and silver became things of value.
That many of the tales, IN connection with
treasure, we're fit only to be told bewteen the
yellow covers of cheap literature, they are as
potent today to arouse the old spirit as they
were in the long ago.
Take for instance the myths that surround the
name of that notorious Stacker Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll, once of Philadelphia, now of Germany.
None has received such widespread circulation
as those connected with his famous buried trea-
sure in the hills of Pennsylvania or Maryland.
Every now and then a new version comes to
light, and it is reported that a workman digging
with his pick, or a farmer blowing in his field,
or someone delving in some remote corner, has
hit upon the Bergdoll fortune. The story never
fails to appeal to the suppressed buried-treasure
complex OF mankind and is generally told with
enough vividness to be plausible.
One reads of the pick striking a hard sub
stance, always a nara SUBSTANCE, anu GIVING
forth a hollow sound, and always a hollow sound.
STOPPING over to examine, the digger sees the
play of the SUMS rays upon the doubloons or
eagles as the case may be. All the rest is familiar
including the intent of the United States gov
eminent to confiscate the treasure in the hands
of the finder. How necessary it seems to have a
william to do the dirty work. That is Uncle Sans
role. Then a dispatch from Germany telling
what a happy time the hero owner of the gold is
having in a far off land that we know is not en-
loving the same Kind of q time.
The Bergdoll myths, like all treasure hunts,
outside of their natural environment, story books
invariably end in delusion.
There is little to a treasure hunt. 1t costs
more than its rewards bring. And there is as
little to the 'iget rich quick" schemes that seem,
even in this unromantic day, so attractive to so
large a PERCENTAGE of people.

the corruption of the law language to which
our friend Adama Smith refers.
As further rubbing it in on our lagal friends,
a parody on the legal style, as applied in rhyme,
from the pen of Henry H. Brownell, is shown
in the following, "a Lawyers Invocation to
SPRING
Whereas, on certain boughs and sprays
Now divers birds are heard to sing,
And sundry flowers their heads upraise,
Hail to the coming on of spring!
The songs of those said birds arouse
The memory of our youthful hours,
AS green as those said sprays and boughs.
AS fresh and sweet as those said flowers.
The birds aforesaid-happy pairs
Love, mid the aforesaid boughs, enshrines
In freehold nests; themselves, their heirs,
Administrators and assigns.
Oh busiest term of Cupid's court,
Where tenderest plaintiffs actions bring
Season of frolic and of sport,
Hail, as aforesaid, coming spring!
Then how sad it is to one who hears or reads
the argument of a good lawyer, clear, simple
direct and forcible, to turn to the complaint upon
which it is based, and know that one and the
same man produced the two marvels. The one
is noble English, the other jargon. But since
jargon has become the scientific language of the
law, it is presumed there is no way of getting
away from, and other users of English must
content themselves with criticism and fun pok'
ing. Truly the language of the mandarins is won
derful.

Another Man of the Hour

The New York Times is evidently on the ex-

a senator in congress from Wyoming since 1917,

representatives. Wyoming is ordinarily a Re

The Language of the Law

The constant users of the mother tongue in
writing and speaking have often wondered why
our legal friends have never seen the advisable
ity of coming down to earth in the use of English
In their pleadings and other matters they pre-
sent to the courts? Apparently they feel COMPEL
I'D to employ a jargon that has about as much
meaning to the uninitiated as so much Siwash.
The theory seems to be that to be exact they
must be prolix, and that language, If it is to be
precise must be redundant. In all other literary
efforts the rule is the contrary. Glance over the
very best effort of your favorite lawyer and you
will catch the idea. If n person is referred to n
second or third time it must %perforce, be the
"said" person; If a statement is repeated it is
bound to be accompanied by the word "afore-
said" "Then and there" flow as tripplingly from
the pen of the lawyers in indictments, especially,
as does trills from the song bird. These are only
casual examples but they give an idea of what
the lawyer does to the language. He does it, how
ever only when he commits it to writing. In ordi-
nary conversation he talks regular English and
in addressing a jury he puts it just as straight
and clear and Understandable as the best of
them. 1t is when he is engaged in making things
definite and certain" that he also makes it rid
iculous, to other writers and readers of the Eng
lish Language.
The layman, who understands and appreciates
the spirit that guides the great legal profession,
also understands and appreciates what preced.
emit means to courts and lawyers, and why re-
dundancy has crept into the language of the law
and became a fixture and come to be regarded os
essential and almost as sacred as the law itself
Adam Smith in his wealth of Nations" adj
vances a theory that may explain in some degree,
when he says:
at has been the custom In modern Europe to
regulate upon most occasions the payment of
the attorneys and clerks of court. according to
the number of pages which they had occasion to
write; the court, however, requiring that each
page should contain so many lines, and each
line so many words. In order to increase their
payment, the attorneys and clerks have contrived
10 multiply words beyond all necessity to the
every court of Justice in Europe"
1t would appear from this, then, that legal
corruption of the law language of, 1 believe,
luminaries of other days were consciencelcss
space writers; always and ever destructive to
style. And il is this old influence and odd custom
of payment, that have done their deadly work in
