EXPLAINING THE
QHVyO{Jc

The New York Sun goes to n
length of several hundred words IN
explaining why Vice Presidents of
the United States are not often put
up for a second term. With com
mendable erudition, The Sun wor-
ries along about this matter, dis
cussing Vice Presidents from Lin
coins time TO Roosevelt's.
It would be much simpler to ask
why Vice Presidents are put up at
all; and much more pertinent. Also
it migt be added that the reason
they are not put up for a second
term is that everybody has forgot
ten their names by the time n Sec
ond term ome around.
The function of Vice Presidents
in the United States is to furnish
vaudeville monologists with varia-
tons on this ancient and hoary-
headed joke, and to do the same
for newspaper photographers and
Column conductors" The only
way a Vice President ever gets
known rs TO have somebody shoot a
President.
And who was it said that IL the
President were TO be called "His
Excellency" that the Vice President
should be known as "His S~uperflu-
Gus Excellency?"

THE OF
FRENCH POLICY

PaiC odN1lilbiCSo bilnElA IL,
New York World for summing up
the PREPARATIONS problem, which has
never been written of before in less
than a few thousand words, in the
following clear editorial:
When the French government
says that the German offer is in
sufficient, what it means to say is
that 81 per cent Of any sum Ger
many can pay is insufficient il
France has to pay her debts.
Take the German minimum offer
of $1,000, 600, OO0, that
France received all of it and had no
British and American debt to pay.
Would the sum be insufficient
then? Hardly. II would be an ex-
cellent settlement for France. But
if France receives only half of what
Germany pays and has herself to pay
her debts, then, of course, the offer
is no settlement at all for France.
1t would leave her a large debtor.
The matter may be illustrated as
follows:
1. If France receives only So
per cent and must pay her debts to
Great Britain and America:
Assets. Liabilities.
3.7Oo, 900 900 $4,000, 600, 900
.. If Great Britain cancelled
Preparations and Great Britain and
American cancelled debts:
Assets. Liabilities.
$1,000 100000 None.
3. If Great Britain and Amer
lea refuse all cancellation, France,
in order to net $500, 0O0, 900,
must ask from Cermanv.
$7,500,000 600 for herself
1900, 600 900 for other allies.
6,400, 100000 for her debts.

Injury Is Fatal

LARAMIE. wyo-. May 11.-John
Elkins. an engineer on the western
division of the Union Pacific. running
west from Rawlins, died at a hospital
in that city. following an accident
at Fort Steele. in which he was
thrown from an automobile and so
badly hurt that the surgeons could
not save him. Elkins and four COM
panions. riding in a Nash automobile,
had been to Fort Steele. east Of Raw
Inns. to attend a dance. On their
way homo the car left the road ana
ran down the embanlment. turning
over and SO catching Elkins that nc
was very seriously hurt. Three OF
his companions were also injured
but none of them fatally. according

Bonds Are Taken

DOUGLAS. Wyo.. May 1.-THE
Douglas water bonds that tho voters
are called upon to favor at the spe-
cial election or May 20 were offered
to representatives of a number of
bond houses and the bids offered
how that the credit of the town is
good and hat municipal bonds are
in demand. The bon houses of
Sidlo. Simon. Fels and company of
Denver. represented by ]. 3. Nc
Cabe. was the successful bidder. their
bid OF SIS per cent n a premium of
1915 being accepted.
, 1923-05-11
Total
S2l.40O,0O0.OOO

Total
$1,000, 900
This sum is known to be fan
tastic. Therefore, on the assum-
ton that the British collect and that
collect, France to net say seven
billions for herself must ask three
times that much from Germany.
These figures are rough. But
they demonstrate automatically
why ultimate settlement Of repara-
tons is impossible without making
the debts an integral part Of the fl
nal reparation bargain.

A NEW NAME

A new name has been written
large on the sporting map Of the
United States, and a new group of
fight fans in the Northwest will
rise up to call somebody blessed
maybe. It is safe to say that where
at most a few hundred thousands
knew of Shelby, Montana, before
Jack Dempsey and Tom Gibbons
were matched to fight there, sew
enty-five or a hundred million per-
sons in this country, and not a few
millions abroad will know Of the
place by July 9Th.
A political speech in Congress
n Of the most brilliant bits Of .a-
tire m the annals Of congressional
oratory-once made Duluth, Mimi,
temporarily famous at a time when
that thriving northern city was
nothing but n trading post, strug-
Cling to get a railroad. But poll
ticians, statesmen and uncrowned
kings Of finance car not do as
much in as short n time to make a
town known as a heavyweight
championship fight; or any really
great fight for . title.
Tex Richard made Goldfisl6, Nov,
famous with the Gxns-Selson fight.
Rickard, again, made Reno famous
with the Jeffries-J ohnson embrog-
Ito, before Reno had come TO the
fore as a popular divorce center.
Many small towns that nobody ever
heard of have flashed into the pub
lie prints through thousands of pa
pers by the simple ~eypedient of bid
ding, more or less legitimately, for
the Dempsey-Carpentier, the Demp-
sey-Willsrd, and other battles. But
the thing to note about the psychol-
ogy of fame via the fight route is
that a town has got to have some
thing beside the fight to keep it IA
nous after the fight is gone. For
a city like Casper, with its natural
resources, a Dempsey-Wills fight,
for instance, would be worth all the
hundreds OF thousands il would
cost to put on-and more. For
.Goldfield, the Gans-Nelson fight
was worth little after a few short
months. That battle was staged
principally as n stock-selling adver-
tisement, anyway, though its MEM
DRY fingers with thousands long af-
ter the stock project is gone. Gold
field today is deader than the num-
my of Rameses or King Tut. After
the fight and the gold had passed,
the town faded. A boom mining
town always does. And so does the
sudden fame and prosperity which
comes to a small city through a
big fight, unless there is some ma
terial wealth there to hold it up.
Reno had easy and painless divorce
laws, and still continues to prosper
through patronage Of the wealthy
and weary.
Shelby, Montana, looks like a
stock selling proposition. Nobody
ever heard of Shelby before Jack
Kearns signed the great heavy
weight champion to fight a push
over there. This fight may boom
the town tremendously, although it
is generally conceded to be a poor
match to boom anybody's town.
Still, the glory of the heavyweight
title in che popular mind is great,
and Dempsey is worth watching
against anybody. Gibbons will
probably give the champion as good
a battle as did Carpenter, which
won't be much.
Shelby's at the present
time seem TO be three in number:
Oil, The Fight, and Propinquity to
the Canadian Border. Therefore,
the fight will do Shelby much good
II the oil doesn't give out and there
aren't too many revenue officials
at the border.
