New Lighting System

LARAMIE-Half of Laramie's
new lighting system was installed
and furnishing light for the first
time. Fifty-one of the new 400
candle-power center suspension Sc
ries were in place Saturday and
within two or three weeks the re-
mainder of the 100 contracted for
will be installed, and lighting the
streets of the city in a much more
efficient name than they have
heretofore been lighted.
The lights already installed are
on the streets south of Park avenue
and from land including Seventh
street west. The remaining SO
lights will be Installed from Seventh
street east through the Midwest ano
Rainbow additions, to the county
fair grounds.
Each street corner will be within
a block of one of the new lights
in either direction. they being ar.
ranged in staggered formation, two
blocks apart. The new lights re.
place IA so candle-power lights
which will be removed. thus giving
the city a lighting system equal TO
any city Of its size, and at a cost
much lower than the average cost
of such a lighting system

Cost of Leaning

The cost of schools and their enormous and
growing budgets brought forth statements a
while back from the president of the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching,
which stirred the educational world and have
evoked widespread comment and discussion.
The subject. is recalled with the opening of
schools all over the land with increased enroll
ment everywhere and promising demand for still
larger budgets for next year far above the ex-
p%enditure required for the year just starting.
The statements referred to are that "the pres.
ent cost of schools is sorely taxing the ability
of the American people to support them and
that under the enormous load" of taxation that
society carries communities will rise against
the burdensome cost of public education"
Enormous" is a relative term. The cost is
truly enormous, for example, compared with
what Russia is spending. 1t is enormous COM
pared with what China is spending. But it can
hardly be said to be enormous when put beside
our total wealth or national income. The cost of
all public elementary and secondary schools in
1920, estimated at a little over a billion dollars,
was four-tenths of one per cent, of the national
wealth, / 40 per cent, of the national income.
andsless than Z per cent of the amount of money
lying in the savings accounts" of the banks in
1871. That is the "relativity' reply that the Nat
ional Education Association makes to the Car.
negie Foundation report.
In 1920, for further example, our people spent
seventeen dollars for luxuries for every dollar
that they spent for education, and eight and one
half dollars for other forms of public service as
compared with one dollar for education. More.
over, though there has been seemingly an senior.
nous" increase in educational expenditure in re.
cent years, the percentage of income spent for
education has not greatly risen since 1910 and
is, III fact, less than in 1914. These at any rate
are the conclusions reached by the Research
Division of the National Education association.
Inc sum spent on education sounds s1enor.
NOUS But when reduced to its lowest terms
the cost to each individual-it seems very small.
Taking the country over, it is about three cents
per person per day. 1t seems hardly fair to
charge education with the excessive burden of
which it is such a small part. We are able to give
without "sorely taxing our ability what is
needed to provide adequate school advantages
for all, if only we regard the education Of our
children as a primary duty of the state. 1t is a
matter of priority of interest and not a question
of ability.

Mail Robbery

DoUGLAs-Thieves cut a hole
near the door in the north end Of
the Burlington freight depot, en-
tered the place and took four sacks
containing first class mail which
had just been left here by the train
from Casper. The robbery was not
discovered until next morning when
Agent Frank Matlak opened the
freight house for the mail carrier
who delivered the mail from the
depot to the p~ostoffice.
A search OF the premises vas i'm.
mediately instituted but 1t was not
until late in the afternoon that the
four sacks were found in a freight
a at the north end OF the yards.
All of them had been cut open and
as no registered mail was found in
them 1t is believed that the thieves
took the valuable matter. Postal
inspectors have been here for the
past few days but have not vet
given out anything for publication
In connection with the case.

gin Main street paving. Main street
will be given the preference over

Mans Name

Mr.. Samuel Goldwyn one of the supermen OF
the picture industry has sustained a very cur
ious misfortune. His rivals and enemies are
seeking to prevent him from using his own name
in the production of pictures. The explanation is
that his name is a synthetic trade product and
belonged to the Goldwyn Picture Corporation
before it belonged to him. Mr.. Goldwyn once re-
joiced in the name of Goldfish, also ,honorably
familiar in trade circles. Going into partner
ship with the Selwyns, he gave up the first
syllable of his name, as they gave up the second
of theirs, for the firm name of Goldwyn. At the
time a commentator observed that this was OBJ
yiously the only possible course, as the partners
could not be expected to combine the residuary
syllables of their several names and go into bust
ness as Selfish Pictures.
AT any rate, the combination prospered. For
obscure reasons, perhaps because of the confus-
ing similarity between his name and that of the
company, perhaps because of too much implica-
ton of publicity. Mr.. Goldfish abandoned his
name and took that of the firm. Then in course
of time the firm abandoned him, as often hap
pens in the picture business, and Mr.. Goldwyn
entered into production as a competitor of the
Goldwyn corporation. The corporation alleges
that when he left or was left he promised not to
use his name in connection with the production
of pictures, and the Courts decision will presum-
ably depend on this. Otherwise we might have
had an instructive research into the philosophy
of nomenclature and a mans right to his own
name.
For Goldwyn is now this gentleman's name, by
due and formal court proceedings. On the other
hand, the corporation complains that the name
has been given a commercial value by its adver-
Using, n value independent of the individual who
assumed it. On the market it was presumably
worth more than Goldfish. The rights and the
wrongs of the case, aside from the alleged clause
in the contract which reserved the name to the
corporation, are by no means clear. There have
been parallels in the automobile business which
are discouraging to Mr.. Goldwyn's chances. Mr..
Stutz, for example, has lost his name for bust
ness purposes and has to design cars nowadays
under his initials.

Is the Tide Turning2

There was a time when the lowest price for
which you could hire a man was considered TO be
a very desirable thing. You can hear it now that
England is to beat us at cotton raising in India,
because labor can be had there at fifty cents a
day. One of the best business men in the coun-
try today, whether you like him or detest him, is
Henry Ford. He pays good wages because he
knows that it is good business to do so. The
Standard Oil company pays their employees good
wages, because their experience has taught them
that it is a fine business investment. Other large
concerns follow the same rule and know the
value equally as well as those named.
The original quality in n man is born, not
made. The original quality in a mans brain, and
not his situation in life, is what makes him.
What humber situations in life could one inn
agine than those into which Andrew Carnegie.
John D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford were born?
But look where the original quality of their
brains has sent theml
Our attention is now very seriously called, as
a nation, to the fact that there is another orig
inal quality that is born in n mans brain when
he is born, and cannot be acquired. 1t is the quail.
iy of invention. There never was n period i'm the
history of the great Republic when she needed
her inventors more than she does today. The his.
tory of invention in this country is a disastrous
one. Oliver Evans, the inventor of the high pres

English Spellings

In the contemporary press you come upon
many quaint communication relative to the let.
ter "u' which we, as good Americans correctly
and persistently omit from such words as arbor.
ardor, behavior, candor, color, dolor, favor, har.
Dor, labor, n%eighbor, etc.
These communication seem to emanate from
British sojourners in our fair land with British
habit of writing a card TO the paper" These
visitors appear TO be persons who do not real
ize that most of the words in this class came or.
iginally from the Latin and not through the
French.
Unfortunately when DIR. Samuel johnson made
his dictionary in 1855 he inconsistency applied
the rule of giving the "u' to words which he de.
rived from the French and emitting it from the
words that the traced to the Latin.
This confusion American scholarship has set
right, except in such n word as glamour.
We should commiserate our British cousins
who have persistently mis-spelled tho words
through ignorance and explain to them that
there was no necessity for the Introduction Of
the "u' into the English form of a word derived
from n Latin word that does not contain it be.
cause a French scholar inserted II where it had
no right to be.

Short Time Citizens

We all believe that American citizenship con-
fers great privileges upon those who possess 1t.
There can be no doubt of the existence of the
rights and privileges of which we boast, for we
hear of them every day through the press ana
about as frequently from the platform. VINO is
not familiar with the right of free speech, the
right of trial by jury, the right of religious free
dom, all prerogatives of a free self'governlng
people?
But what of the duties and responsibilities of
a free and self-governing people?
We can scarcely expect to enjoy rights and
privileges without assuming the duties and re-
sponsibilities that go with them. Nevertheless,
the rights and privileges and the duties and re-
sponsibilities all of which we claim and acknowl-
edge are constantly preached and evaded. APP
parently unappreciated.
There is, moreover, a more comprehensive duty
which we also neglect. The duty of each citizen
shouldering his share of the government-his
government, if you please. It is the duty of select
ing the proper officials and representatives, of
assisting them in the exercise of their official
functions, of obeying the laws and seeing to it
that the laws are obeyed by others.
This "thirty day citizenship" to call it that for
want of q better name, consists of reading the
newspapers and talking of vague political is
sues on the eve of election: without the civic en-
terprise to discover that the "vague political is
sues were formulated for certain well defined
purposes by n few threehundred and sixty-five
day political gentlemen.
Then the thirty-day citizens charge the three.
hundred and ~sixty-five day politicians with rum
ming the government "to suit themselves" We
resent the usurping of "our rights" but do moth
ing to exercise those rights or If we do we ex-
pect to accomplish 1t all in thirty days. If we,
ourselves do not jump in and run the govern
ment, whom do we expect will do it, if the hand
full of politicians do not? For a people who dis
play such clear, decisive action in business, 1t
Is astonishing that we have so little interest or
ability in the business of government, which
makes our business of living possible.
If the people who exercise the thirty-day citi-

ing more to be said. However, if they are not
content, two courses are open TO them, to keep
their mouths shut and take their medicine, or
shake off their apathy and thirty day citizenship

Der II you fail to use your citizenship rights as
our constitution and laws contemplate, then
somebody else will use them for you.
