 You see that bigness everywhere. Last night l sat in the twentieth chair in a shoeshinery. All filled. And there were twenty-four pews in which sat twenty-four shoeless, waiting to have their moccasins fixed. Everywhere one sees twenty barber" shops. Night banks are commonplace. Not enough time during the day.
 At 10: :45 p. m. Broadway between Fortieth and Fiftieth is under high com precision. Sides swirl about the base of that triangular rock which is the times building. Then thirty theaters release 45,000 more. Nothing happens The street is just as little fuller. It is patiently impossible to catch taxicab although thousands have caught lem. Ragged men and boys offer to run for them. An intensively soiled old man plays a hand-organ and get handsful of pennies. His filth is an advertisement. From hilltops fifty miles away one can see that funnel of light which glares at the Heavens-if lucky enough to be on the hill. An electrically lighted nuns ONCNhcdus 4uc WdlkeFS are thrust into the roadway. Cabs nose among them as delicately as lost hounds. A furious chatter of chinaware comes through open doors.
 An auctioneer yowls. The room is packed to suffocation. Shillabers fight forward to buy diamonds;
 "Oh my honor as gentleman" he declaims.
 For six hours the morning papers have been on the streets. Now the sec ond editions are being bawled. A stench rises from the subway holes down which thousands are shuffling. The bankers for the final Chinatown wagons grow enraged. The populations Of whole cities struggled toward the ferries. The street grows empty save for the torn papers that eddy in the chill breeze, twisted by the high walls. For miles there isn't tree or a blade | of grass or a strip of green. l Too big. And growing bigger.

 What Price Glory" is perhaps the most gripping play on the New York boards. Photographic, photographic, dirty, true. Perhaps the most certain of success. Not for the plont. For the profanity. And, of course for the pic ture of soldiers as they really are. But the lovers of good, greasy cussing need not cover up by telling us that this play strikes a tellnig blow at war. That's bosh.
 Not long ago there was a parade of school children in Fifth avenue. I've forgotten wh. Some sort of drive for some sort of week, I suppose. Anyhow, their perfectly good Saturday afternoon was taken away from fifty thousand of the poor little blighters. The avenue was filled for what seemed hours.
 All right. then. There are 267, 1000 children in New York who will have nc seats in New York's schools. So they are part-timers and will get part-time educations and some of lem by and by will have part-tiine minds. No wonder the riot squad and the riot guns get a big hand when the police parade.
 But that's a part of New York's big ness. It cannot be helped. The town is yearly out-growing it's brooches. Au thorities tell us this week that not more than half the town can afford more than forty dollars a month rent, but there is such a shortage of rooms that

REPUBLICAN RECORD
ON FOREIGN DEBT

WASHINGTON, AUG. &C. THE
Republican administration has hand
led the foreign debt problem in a
business like manner" asserts the
Republican Publicity Association in
a statement issued today through it's
President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne. Jr.
when the Republican party assum-
ed control in March, 1921, it found
in the Treasury the obligations of
foreign governments aggregating, in
principal and unpaid interest, some
$11, 900, 600, 900. They represented
money raised from the American peo-
pie through the sale Of Liberty bonds
in fact. more than half OF all the
money collected from our people
through the sale of Liberty Bonds
went to pay war expenses of some
twenty other governments all of
which claimed to be aiding the allied
cause in some material way. Those
foreign obligations were in the form
of demand notes bearing five per
cent interest and payable in gold.
But although the loans had been out
standing from two to foul years when
the Republicans took charge there
had been no effort to collect a dollar
of interest, much less of principal.
American taxpayers were being call
ed upon to provide all the interest
on those Liberty Bonds the proceeds
of which had been turned over to
foreign governments, and also to pro-
vide sinking fund to retire the debts
which rightfully should have been
paid by there alien borrowers.
AS part of their general program
OF bring order out of chaos in
government affairs. tta Republicans
immediately applied themselves to
the foreign debt problem. Congress
enacted a law creating the Foreign
Debt Refunding Commission, whose
duty it became TO negotiate with the
debtor countries and arrive at a set
Element for the liquidation of the
obi ,atiOns yer a period of years.
Tie law nan ed minimum require
ments as to interest and other terms
below which the Commission could
not go.
Invitations were promptly issued
to the debtor nations to send dele
gates to Washington for conference.
Several OF those delegations have
como. with the net result that agree
m. ITS have been concluded with Great
Britain, Finland, and Hungary under
which interest on their obligations
is being regularly paid and the prin-
cipals %liquidated In semi-annual In
stallments. No less than th!rty-five
per c OF that total obligation CT
~eleven billions is being turned back
TO the American people by the Re.
publicans where not a dollar had
been received during the years of
Democracy. The responsibility of
American taxpayers to supply funds

son why reductions in taxation have
been made possible.
"'Our attitude reads the Repub-
lican National Platform in referring
to the debt repayment policy, has
not been that of an oppressive credi-
tor seeking immediate return and
ignoring existing financial conditions.
Our position has been based on the
conviction that a moral obligation
such as was incurred should not be
disregarded. We stand for settle
ments with all debtor countries sim
liar in character with our debt agree
ment with Great Britain
Republican debt policy for the
future will be the same as the policy
for the last three years which has
made such progress toward final set
Element. Arrangements with other
debtor countries will be facilitated
when the Dawes reparations plan be-
gins to function, and its f%unctioning
is being aided by tactful though I'M

Republicans.

power, 1t is likely that another four
years will witness a final adjustment

While Wyoming has been slow to

OIL BUSINESS
ARDLY FELT

wyoming has hardly begun to
feel the beneficial effects Of the oil
industry according to G. r. Hagens
prominent Casper attorney.
THE oil business is q young in
dustry in wyoming" said MI. Hag-
ems. Its beneficial effects have
hardly more than begun to be felt,
but will become greater as time
goes on whether Wyoming is a large
oil producing state for SO or $50
years to come.
II understand that over $4,000
900 has already accumulated in the
Permanent school fund, the income
from which alone is used for cur
rent school expenses. This fund is
becoming larger every year, light
ening the tax burden, and the income
from 1t will be enjoyed by gener-
atoms yet unborn. In the short
time that the Federal Lease law
has been in effect, over $26,000,0 900
has been turned into the Federal
treasury from Wyoming, 37A per
cent of which is turned back to the
state for the use of the university,
the public schools and the highways,
into the Reclamation fund. Nearly
SO per cent of the running expenses
of the schools is paid out Of the
states portion Of these funds.
The state has a large claim on
that portion of the monies, which
go into the Reclamation fund for the
reclamation of arid lands in the
state. There is every assurance
that this equitable claim has been
recognized, and will be more SO in
the future. The Guernsey dam and
the Riverton project are being finan-
ced largely through this money. The
North Platte project in Wyoming will
probably become a reality sooner
than the people realize, on account
of the availability of this fund, which
is constantly increasing. Active pre-
timinary work Is already going on.

are yet to be tested. There is prob
ably not a county in the state that
