STAYING AWAY TOO LONG

Our old friend and fellow toiler
In the vineyard, John W. Cook, Of

early spring months at Detroit.
When we began to read the series
of letters he is writing to his news
paper we gained the impression that
among other things John W, was in
Detroit for was a course of instrue'
ton in automobile construction and
repair. Not that he intended open

sired to be in position to apply quick
repair to his own car when caught

dime. No criticism could hold

Abated the Residence

LARAMIE.-Pat smyth, whose al
legged Illicit whiskey operations have
been the center of attraction" IN this
section for some time past, tasted OF
the bitter pill" in the district court
when Judge V. ]. Tidball ruled against
him in the injunction proceedings
brought by County Prosecutor George
Patterson and ordered that the Smyth
residence on South Fourth street be
closed up for one year. A temporary
writ of injunction was granted by
the court about six weeks ago.
With the granting OF a permanent
Injunction in this case the court also
ruled that the defendant shall be
made to pay a fine OF $500 and the
costs OF the action. The county as.
SCISSOR was ordered TO levy a special
assessment to the amount Of 1900 and
costs against the property. Collec-

through the sheriff who was instruct.

sale OF this property will be given

H DoINGs OF SUGAR

While congress seeks to enact
laws to restrict dealing in futures,
the fact remains there was never r.
speculative orne run on a great
national product that did not enrich
the producer, from oats to sugar.
When February opened sugar was
selling around z cents a pound. On
the present crop movement, begin
ming in October, 1929. sugar was
quoted at ITO cents, seaboard. By
the end of November the commod-
ity was up nearly a cent, but as the
Cuban campaign got under full
headwsy the price sagged more than
half a cent a pound, and a recovery
started in January.
In January the commodity rose )
cents a bag because Europe entered
the Cuban field as a heavy pur-
chaser of raw and the trade gen
orally realized the strong statistical
position of sugar.
Sugar statistically is in a strong
position Europe must depend
largely upon Cuba for supplies. II
Europe takes only forty per cent
of what she took from Cuba last
year, it will require all of Cuba's
balance to take care of Americas
normal consumption And consump-
ton Of sugar appears to be on the
increase.
Producers Of sugar beets on a
sliding scale contract will gain mil
lions by the rise in sugar prices, un-
less it is all knocked in the head
by some congressional probe and
price fixing.

MISPLACED BLAME

The evangelist has said, Silk
stockings and automobiles have
damned the world"
The good brother is wrong. The
world was damned long before there
were such things in It We yer
barefooted, so far as hosiery was
concerned and had no other means
of transportation than those same
bare feet when the event occurred.
And we have continued to be
damned so frequently during the
ages by one thing and another that
we we're rather hard boiled and con-
siderably damned before silk stock
ings and automobiles got around to
exert any influence upon us.
We decline to believe that these
instrumentalities, at whose door the
evangelist lays the woes of the
world, are any more potent than
have been the other things that have
been active in damning the world
at other times.
For instance there is war, and
there is liquor. We have heard that
they are both curses to humanity.
Without hesitation we would say
they have both done their full share
of plain and fancy damning. These
two forces are not alone. There
are now and have been in other
times so many forces engaged in
damning that the catalogue would
be endless.
The parson, we fear, has only
noted the effect of silk stockings
and automobiles upon the weaklings
and the idlers They fall for any
thing and everything. They are dill
igently hunting the things that will
damn them. They want to be
damned, and so far as the world of
regular folks is concerned they can
be damned.
Because some folks have EN-
ployed silk stockings and automo
biles for purposes other than the
ones intended and the rightful ones,
is no just cause for blaming them
with the tremendous responsibility
of such widespread destruction.
They are harmless in themselves,
and on the legs and in the hands of
proper persons they do no more
damning than a drink of water out
of the old oaken bucket.
The evangelist has blamed the ar
ticles instead of the people who have
come into possession of them. There
lies the fault. There always lies the
fault 1t is In the person, not the
thing. It is the cheap material that
is put into humanity. Humanity
has always been the same. The
weak, the strong, the wise, the i'm
beetle. They hunt their pleasures
and their occupations in accordanc
with the gifts bestowed upon them.
Reaction to the serious things of
life is as marked today as was the
reaction to the frivolities a while
ago. And no evangelist. however
wide his observation nor extensive
his experience, need tell the world
that it is damned by silk stock
ings and automobiles. The world,
brother, Is improving. Day by day
1t is growing better and better. And
the influence of the silk-clad leg is
waning, because it is disappearing
from view, while the car is becoming
more and more %utilitarian and less
and less a chariot Of pleasure.
Now if the brother will pitch the
tune we will all Join in the closing
hymn.
