WHY NOT "DUCK
BOARDS?"

Casper has reason to be proud
of its pavements and sidewalks. Few
cities of its size in the country,
virtually none so young, have as
adequate civic improvements along
this line. But with the Great Gum
DO season of spring right at hand,
who not have some duck boards"
put down by the city on the many
street crossings in the residential
district where the pavements have
not as yet been laid?
a person may walk from Twelfth
and Durbin, say, to the business
heart of the city and muddy
his feet. But II he or she goes east
more than a block, south at all, or
west more than a few blocks, the
crossings are all but impossible
without shedding a shoe or leaving
a rubber sticking firmly in the
gumbo.
1t would not be a difficult mat
ter, or one acquiring any great out
lay Of the city's funds, to put wood
en crossings at the worst street in
tsrsections. Two or three six or
eight inch boards, nailed on small
cross pieces, would suffice nicely,
and would not impede vehicular
traffic to any extent.

LECTURERS ON
REFORMERS

The recent arrival of Lord Rob
ert Cecil, a distinguished English
man, in this country, need give no
harrassed Americans the dea that
another British lecturer has landed
upon our shores, Unlike Margot
Asquith, Sir Philip Gibbs, Hilaire
Belloc, and many others, Lord Rob
ert is not apt to tread the American
boards, at from 80 to So a throw
for the best seats. Believing, as do
many, that American sentiment has
changed, he comes with the avowed
purpose, the frank mission, of in
teresting US in the league of ma
tons. or a modification thereof.
Lord Robert and his mission to
one side, has it ever occurred to
those who have complained of the
plague of English lecturers which
has overspread the eastern half of
the country lately, that perhaps
they r in rebuttal to the plague
of American reformers who arc al
ways and forever invading Eng
land? If we keep our reformers lt
home. where they mind other peo-
pies business to a slightly less de-
gree than when abroad, we might
avoid somo Of the just retribution
which ONE in the form of speak
ers who talk only British; speakers
who are, as Frank Ward o'Malley
says, from "Slupney, Sloopington-
on-Slup, The Slough, Slopshire."

1.-THE TUMULT AND THE


That the presidential campaign
next year will be one of the liveEest
and perhaps the closest in recent
years, comparable possibly to the
Wilson Hughes race, is indicated by
several bits of writing on the wall.
Washington, the nerve center Of
things political, is showing an I'M
usual burst Of enthusiasm far in
advance of the election Almost n
year ahead of time Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty steps out and as
sures a world not much interested
in the matter at the moment that
President Harding will BIO a candi-
date to succeed himself. Then
there is a ~palpitating dramatic
pause, while the effect of this mag
Tificent gesture sinks through the
public skull. Presently there will
be more magnificent gestures, more
statements of the eternally obvious,
and much fussing about by smaller
fry not in a position to make such
daring pronouncements as that Of
Mr. Daugherty.
It is all but a foregone conclu-
sion that Mr.. Harding will be a can
didate. a president always Is. II
he does not succeed himself, he does
his best TO do 80. And there Is no
indication at present that Mr.. Hard
ing has not an excellent chance TO
repeat. 1t will need a strong man
to beat him, it i1 generally conceded
, 1923-04-03

although politicai predictions at
any time are in the nature of valor-
Gus advance dope on the worlds
series, and no great part of discre-
ton.
Strong Democratic activity is
foretold in the attempts of Former
President Wilson and William G.
McAdoo to influence for better or
for worse the selection of a Sem
ator from Colorado to succeed the
late Senator Nicholson. Governor
Sweet, automatically insisting that
he is glad to advise in the matter,
wisely refuses to be stampeded into
taking action, and probably will not
take the Wilsonian suggestions over
his better Judgment. At the start
the war president and his son-in-law
did not display the best of political
teamwork. They fumbled their
signals somewhere. Mr.. Wilson sug-
gested Houston Thompson and Mr..
McAdoo ex-senator Morrison Shat
froth. Now, however, the quondam
Secretary of the Treasury has
swung to his father-in-law's
choice; indicating nothing in partic-
ular save that a father-in-law is a
father-in-law the world over. And,
possibly, that the Wilson family
might just as well let Colorado or
der her own house.
William Jennings Bryan, who
when he vas good cough to leave
the Wilson cabinet managed to
change the phrase "God Bless You"
from its fine old Anglo-Saxon mean
ing into a mild ~imprecation, about
on a par with "You Big Stiff" can
be counted on to NEEDLE a little in
the coming pre-campaign proceed
ings. The Century Plant of politics
was once an accomplished factor.
Latterly he has somehow shed a syl-
liable. He is now more of an ccom
plished fact.
Thus we have the old forces at
work, much to the old way. If
there is no Moses to lead, the will
derness of politics will continue to
stretch on in undated desolation.
Presently will come the conventions,
the candidates, the platforms. and
the speeches filled with quota
tions" from the copy books. We
will have two parties, each of which
is about to Save the nation from
disnonor'; each of which will
"plunge the country into debt and
ruin; each of which "stand for un-
diluted Americanism"-and each of
which, in the long run, will do about
as it has done in the past, dividing
the blame and praise.

UNITY RAILROAD
CONTROL

The suggestion made by Former
President Hadley of Yale Univer-
sity, that the railroad labor board
and the interstate commerce com
mission be consolidated and welded
into n authoritative reEulative
body, with regulators selected with
an eye to their special training and
experience as primary qualifica-
tions, is an excellent one. 1t is not
all a new idea. None are. 1t has
been suggested before. But 1t points
some excellent arguments in the
Yale Review.
Professor Hadley is a noted edu-
Gator and economist, and his discus
sion of the Esch-C ummins act is
noteworthy for the suggestion that
"the railroad business should be
treated in the same way that we
treat other forms of business" The
advocates of Government operation
of railroads at all cost are not apt
to agree with Professor Hadley,
however.
Under existing law an over
worked interstate commerce com-
mission, Mr.. Hadley says, wrestles
with rate problems and with all
manner of complaints against car
riers, while another body. the rail
road labor board, deals with unfa-
miliar wage controversies and vari-
Gus disputes directly or indirectly
relnted to wages and working condi-
,tions. The results are admittedly
unsatisfactory, and that is only rat
ural, especially since few of the reg
ulators of the railroads have had
any practical experience of the
problems Of the transportation in
dustry.
What is needed, then, argues DR..
Hadley, Is a reconstructed and con-
solidated interstate commerce com
mission, with Jurisdiction over the
entire field. Railroad
and railroad employees alike, he in
sists, should be accorded a chance
TO deal with regulators who have
had actual experience in managing
railroads or special knowlede Of
transportation in all its aspects.
