former American ambassador to
Great Britain, will be issued with
in a few days over the signatures
of Prime Minister Bonar Law. the
Earl OF Balfour. Herbert H. As
quith, David Lloyd George and
Lord Grey--the British ministers
with whom the ambassador was

form the memorial is to take will
be dependent upon the amount of
the contributions.
The appeal results from the ac-
tivities of the committee appointed

had proposed In the Spectator, Of
which he Is editor, a memorial in
Westminster Abbey to Mr. Page,
and Sydney Brooks, writing In the

Better Than Calomel
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards' Olive Tablets
Are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets the
substitute for calomel-are mild but
sure laxative, and their effect on the
liver is almost instantaneous. These
little olive.colored tablets are the re.
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets DO the good
that calomel does. but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teesh like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold Of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
At the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calemel. Let DR.. Edwards Olive |
Tablets take its place.
Headaches, "duIlness" and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and a |
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "logy" and
''hesvy." They clear" clouded brain
and perk up the spirits. 15c and SOC. ]

ney. President Harding is, no doubt
setting a precedent. No message
brings the same sort of thrill that
the human voice conveys, and thou
sands, if not tens of thousands,
will follow with their radio sets the
Presidents public d~eliverances in
the cours Of his journey to and
from Alaska. So completely has
man harnessed to will the ether of
the air that it is possible for Ameri-
cans in virtually every State of the
Union to follow the speeches of the
Chief executive. II the more log
ical and reasoning individuals will
prefer to read his messages in the
public prints, where his words stand
fixed in black and white, many will
'listen in" to the President who
otherwise would barely take time
enough to skim the headlines in the
newspapers. The wonderful instru-
ments of radio telegraphy have
made it possible for the President
or any other public official to speak
to an audience many times larger
than that which the human voice
alone, however well trained, can
reach.
Only in small countries, and not
always in them, can a public Off
cial hope to be known to a majority
of his c~ountrymen. In days gone
by princes and potentates lived
largely in the imaginations of their
subjects, as well as those who owed
allegiance to other rulers. Though
they lived enveloped by a great rep
utation, they were personally known
to but few. How many persons
in Europe, for instance, ever saw
Napoleon in person or heard his
voice7 Only a small proportion,
obviously, of those who at n time
or another were under his rule.
Or how many in America, in the
days of stage coaches and bad roads
ever saw the face or heard the voice
of George Washington? Mechani-
cal inventions seem recently to have
kept pace with the material devel-
opment of the country. Though
we are now a nation of a hundred
millions, though California is three
thousand miles from Massachusetts,,
Presidents and cabinet officers can
now become known to a very fair
proportion of the American peole.
Ten or fifteen th~ousand-mile speak
ing trips are by no NEAR uncom-
mon. And now the radio has doub-
led several times over the range of
communication.
The radio, in short, promises to
become as much a part of a political
campaign as the campaign adver-
tisement, the street-corner rally, or
the party mass meeting. The
radio vote" indeed may soon be a
factor that political wiseacres must
take into consideration along with
the farmers vote" the Church
vote" and 'hyphen vote"

UNCLE SANS HELP IN
THE EAST

A summary of the activity of the
Near East Relief for 1922 recently
made public by the greatest gen.
eral secretary Of that organization
once more shows Uncle Sam in the
role of a great philantrophist. Again
the helping hand of America is one
of the few bright chapters in a story
that plumbs the depths of human
misery. Certainly no part of the
world has suffered more in recent
years than the Near East, the seat
of the ancient strife between Turk
and Greek, between Islam and
Christianity. Of necessity the re-
port of the Near East Relief out
lines American philantrophic effort
but in part; it will take many
months to obtain a detailed account
of the relief work as a comprehen-
sive whole. Some idea, however of
the extent of our effort may be
gained from the summaries at hand
from the Island of Mitylene. Dur
ing the period Immediately follow
ing the Smyrna fire, when the army
Of refugees was numbered by the
thousands, the personnel of the
Near East Relief distributed in the
island n total of 2,173,022 rations
of bread flour and bareback, and
1929 %rations of milk. It's doctors
and nurses administered 1000 hos
pital and clinic treatments, and the
organization distributed clothing
and shoes to 10,550 persons. The
Near East Relief, moreover, was
pursuing its errand of mercy at the
same time in Smyrna itself, and at
Chios, Bruosa, Samos, Crete, Salon
ika, Rodosto, Western Thrace and
many other refugee centers. The
Bishop of Smyrna, a man as we'll
qualified as anyone else to speak
with authority, declares that in that
city alone American relief workers
were responsible for the saving of
at least 100000 lives.
1t takes but little Imagination to
invest these figures with a vibrant
human interest. They spell new
life and happiness literally for thou
sands who have lost all hope. If
the Near East Relief could not per-
form the impossible by bringing the
dead to life, it has at least cut down
deaths toll, and has given many of
wars victims a chance to face the
future with an even chance of vic
tory. Our philantropic work in
Smyrna, the Aegean and in Armenia
is indeed the best answer to the
charge that the United States has
turned its back on a suffering world.

JUSTICE MUST AND WILL
BE DONE

l. Under-sheriff Cantlin and Dusty

accept responsibility for the killing
ipf Mrs. Newcomb on the Yellow
Stone Highway Friday night, have
both been behind the bars since two
o'clock on Saturday afternoon. At
no time have they been "at large"
and the orderly process of justice is
being done with no reason to pre-
sumo that punishment fitting to the
crime will not follow.
= In view of a studied attempt to
inflame public sentiment and appeal
30 lynch-law instincts in this city,
the officials of Natrona county
were wise in not announcing be-
fore today that the two men had
been arrested. Nothing could have
been gained through revealing the
fact.
Il With talk of mob-law on the
street corners, where the seed was
sown by a severe case of inflam-
matory propaganda, Prosecuting
Attorney Foster and Sheriff Morris
used excellent judgment in not an

lin and Miller.
= Justice, of course, must be done.
n will be done. There is no blinking
the fact that somebody is guilty af
an outrageous crime. Just what the
regree of guilt, and upon whose
Shoulders the weight must fall, can
be determined only in the courts of
law. That is the place for such
determination. No pre-judgment

rountry's fervid examples of the yell

Indictments will be brought. Trial
will be held. Always excepting the
possibility of an escape, which is
Extremely unlikely, these men will
be brought before the bar and ade-
nuate sentence melted out. Neither
the people Of Natrona County nor
the officials would willingly have
anything different.
1t is up to the officials of Ma
trona County to see that justice is
done. Thus far their action has
been entirely in accord with all
known legal and criminal procedure.
u is fair to suppose that they will
continue to do their duty by their
oath Of office and by the public.
There is no evidence to the contrary
now.

Occupation Tax Upheld

SHERIDAN. wyo., July 2.-Judge
James H. Burgess, in district court
here Tuesday gave a written verdict
favoring the city of Sheridan in its
attempt to enforce an ordinance pro.
vlding for an Occupation a. to be
paid by all firms doing business in
the city. and upheld the city>s con-
tentlon for the constitutionality of
the ordinance.
The decision was given in the case
of the city agaist Frank Litman,
proprietor OF a store at 264 North
Main street. Litman was fined IS and
costs in police court by Judge Scott
X. Snively fer non-payment of the
tax. an6. Litman appealed the cas-
TO the higher court. Unless Litman
further appeals the decision in dis
trict court it means he must pay the
fine and the tax.
The case is of statewide Importance
according to r. C. Diefenderfer. spe-
cial counsel for the city. since Shert-
dan was the first city IN Wyoming to
frame such an ordinance and many
other municipalities in the state have
framed similar acts based on the
Sheridan law.
In announcing the decision. Judge
Burgess declared that although
there may be some question as to the
validity of the ordinance. unless II
IS clearly unconstitutional It must be
sustained"
The case will be appealed to tho
state supreme court, NJ. B. Camplin.
Litman's counsel, indicates Tuesday
night. although he had had no on
portunity to confirm that statement
by conference with his client. He
stated that 90 others merchants of
the city were helping Litman in his
suit. :Nft k1sa
