Before the war England's savings
came to about s40O, 600, 900 per year.
Although the American people are
terribly eXtravagant, their savings
are estimated to come to e2,700, 000,-
600 per year. Last year the Ameri-
cans spent on motor cars and trucks
alone 9750,000,0O0. If we add the
expenditure on garages. ETC., the
motor-car expenditure last year ex-
ceeded 81, 900, 900, 900.
1t is frequently stated that the
United States owe their vast wealth
to the possession Of their great nat
a faithful agricultural plain, extern
sive forests, rich mines, etc. That
explanation is fallacious. Every stu
dent of American economics is aware
that the bulk of Americas vast in
come is furnished, not by the farms,
mines, and forests, but by the fac
tories and workshops.
The United States are foremost in
the world, not only by the produce
tivity Of their wheat fields, cotton
fields, forests, coal mines, iron mines,
etc, but also by the output Of their
manufacturing industries.
With existing arrangements this
country can produce $4,000, 900 tons
of steel per year. That figure has
never been reached. The United
States can produce at least $4,000
900 tot of steel per year. They pro-
duce far more than half of the
worlds steel and of the products of
steel. Among other things they pro-
duce about 80 percent of the worlds
motorcars, both in their own country
and in branch establishments abroad.
In the city of New York alone
vastly more building takes place than
in the whole of the United Kingdom.
The textile industries OF the Republic
consume considerably more cotton
than the whole of this country. In
the production of goods made from
copper, brass, rubber. wood, leather
etc.. Americas superiority is over
whelming. In view OF these facts

Popular Hostelry

One of the most popular hostelries
along the line of the Union Pacific
railroad, according to the verdict of
those of the travelling public who
in the pursuit of their regular bust
ness visit the different towns in this
section of the state, is the old re-
liable Ferris Hotel of pioneer day
fame.
Geo. w. Plummer, prominent hotel
man of Wyoming and Colorado, who
took charge of the Ferris several
months since, has instituted a num-
Der of much merited changes in the
management which are greatly ap-
preciated by everyone. Not the least
and most enjoyable feature of the in
stitution is the excellent table SER
vice, which is under the scrutinizing
supervision of Mr.. Geo. Nicol, the
! popular Ferris steward, who has had
years of experience in his line and
Is ever alert to see hat the desires
OF the inner man are satisfied to
the fullest extent. Mr.. Nicol has been
in the employ of Mr.. Plummer for
the last eighteen years, foul Of
which were at the Capital Grill No. 2
in Cheyenne.
Rawlins citizens are proud of this
popular hostelry as is evidenced by
the liberal patronage which is reg
ularly accorded this institution.

WHY AMERICA is so WEALTHY

quently tell us that England is roll
ing in wealth." that it is 1.-THE rich
est country in the world" That was
perhaps, true decades ago, but mat
tiers are very different now. Eng
land is poor, very poor, If compared
with the United States.
The United States are fabulously
wealthy. Although they possess only
about on~e-twentieth of the popula-
ton of the world, they have half
the worlds wealth and have more
than half the worlds gold, diamonds
pearls. and precious stones of every
kind.
The true wealth of a nation can
best be measured by the condition
of the masses. The prosperity Of
the American workers is almost I'M
b~elievable. More or less unskilled
men, such as carriers, milkmen, build
ers, %laborers, etc. earn ASS per day.
Vast numbers of skilled workers earn
$1,000 and more per year.
The assertion that Americas
wealth belongs to the few, that the
high cost of living counterbalances
the high wages prevailing, is in
correct. The white population Of the
Republic is a little more than twice
as large as that of this country. How
ever, the United States have not
merely twice the number of tele-
phones and motor-cars that there
are in this country but have fifteen

reason is obvious to all who are ac-
quanited with economic conditions ON

of Socialism. Owing to Socialist in
%fluence ca canny has become uni

to labour-saving machinery. The re-
suit is hal the average American

HOUSTON POST LAUDS
NATIONAL DEFENSE DAY

In trying to commit the Democrat
ic campaign to the policy of declaring
preparedness a militaristic gesture.
Mr.. Bryan finds himself at variance
with most of the Democratic news
papers of the country. Defense
Day" is merely an effort to ascertain
in what manner the industries of
the Nation could serve the national
defense in case of emergency. We
have the preparation of man power
in our citizens training camps and
our officers reserve corps training
camps. If defense Day is a military
gesture. then, also, are the training
camps. The Houston Post, n lead
ing Democratic paper, voices the SEN
timents of the Democratic press in
general when it says:
THE army training camps this
year have had more applicants than
they could provide for. Thousands
of young Americans the flower Of
the Nations manhood-have fought
to avail themselves of the %opportun-
ity for intensive military training.
Here in Texas the National Guard
is in annual encampment at Calves
ton and San Antonio. Next month
there will be al officers training
camp for reserve officers Of the Ma
tional Army near San Antonio. The
country is Witnessing more military
activity than at my time since the
war closed.
This should not be interpreted
as evidence of a militaristic trend
in the United States. The pacifists
should not become unduly alarmed.
The revival of interest in military
training may be explained, in one
way. as a natural reaction from the
slump Thai was experienced i'm
mediately after the war. For a time
after the boys came home. they
wanted to forget about military
things.
The important thing is It is a
sign OF a recognition OF the need for
reasonaf,e preparedness. America
Is not e. citing war. but the average
American realizes that the millen-
mum has not yet dawned. and that
1t Is the part Of safety to be pre-
pared.
The British Government the
other day abandoned the project OF
%tunneling the English channel. on
the ground that 1t would endanger
British safety. With a labor gov
eminent, admittedly pacifst In its
nature, exercising such caution, 1t 10
not strange Thai sensible young men
OF America should see the need OF
offering themselves for training to
meet a possible emergency.
The lesson of unpreparedness the
United States learned during the last
war has not been forgotten. This
country will not again be in such q
position OF defenselessness as 1t was
at the outbreak OF the World War.
For the creation OF this more whole

reasonable preparedness. America

the face OF Stone mountain what
seemed to be the living, moving like

panions, apparently riding across the
mountain face.
A camera set up beside the projec-
tor was able to make q good photo

A, better idea, not only Of the size
Of the figures but of the resulting
difficulties in construction, may be
had from Mr.. Borglum's description
of his first efforts to let men down
over this light-projected picture te

gested a figure of Lee carved on a
space about twenty feet square. This
they hoped to make symbolic the
whole spirit of the Lost Cause"
When the sculptor was taken down
to the mountain, and as he stood be-
fore the. huge bulk of the giant
boulder, absorbing something OF the
overpowering sensation Of size and
immobility, and the enduring quail
ties of the granite mass, he caught
a new vision-a vision far beyond
that which had been projected by his
hosts. ..-'.- 90.
II walked over and around the
mountain" says Mr.. Borglum; II ex-
amined its face and the quality Of the
stone. Finally came to the conclu-
sion that there was only one feasible
and adequate way of treating it, and
that was by leaving out all formal or
geometric designs and cutting a great
frieze representing a moving mass Of
troops across its face In high relief,
In such a manner-and this is most
important-as to give the impression
that they were in full relief and
moving over the surface of the noun
tain, and not across Its side.
ITO a spectator, suddenly coming
upon the mountain, in q dusk or soft
light at proper distance, the general
appearance must be that Of the. nat

methods fell down. The first plan,was
to erect a studio about one hundred
feet long squarely facing the noun
tain ledge and about a mile distant
from its base. The front of this
studio was to have in it a window
running its full length and bearing
the entire design in outline. The
whole surface Of the window was to
be divided up into small squares cor
responding in number and location
with squares on a very much larger
scale on the face Of the mountain. I
thought 1 could stand behind the
glass and sighting toward the noun

carving Of the figures by telephone.
"All this would involve much time
and expense, however, and we soon

monument on May 20, 1916. This was
interrupted by the war, however. and
from the fall Of 1917 to the spring Of
1922 nothing further could be done
with the project. But the idea had
taken firm hold and is now going
ahead steadily, systematically and on
q large scale.
The first problem to be solved in
so huge memorial
were matters of engineering rather
than of art. How could sculptors be
kept in position on the face Of that
sheer cliff and yet be free to handle
their tools? What tools were to be
used in cutting away such large
quantities Of rock? Plainly the mall
let and hand chisel would be futile.
Most difficult Of all, how was the de-
sign to be placed on the face Of the
cliff to serve as guide lines for. the
sculptors? A workman close up
against the rock could scarcely dis
tinguish between an ear and an eye
on the larger figures. So huge Is the
scale that at the necessary working
distance all sense of proportion is
lost. .,et

FORTUNATELY, Mr.. Borglum is

as an artist and sculptor. He called
into service some Of the knowledge
and experience gained years ago when
he was working as mechanic and
draughtsmarf on the Union Pacific
railroad. and to date his ingenuity.
has overcome every obstacle. He was
also fortunate in having associated
with him Capt J. G. Tucker, who was
made superintendent in charge of
construction.
"Our first STEP" says Mr.. Borglum,
was to build stairways and stagings
down over the surface of the cliff
This was NOT nearly as simple as 1t
sounds. This stairway is 800 feet
long-one-half higher than, Washing
ton Monument. The planks had to be
carried up the mountain one at a
time and these had to be anchored
into place by drilling into the solid
rock. The stairway alone cost $4,000.
