IMMIGRANT OR EMIGRANT

According to a modern dictionary 'emgrant and
Immigrant are practically synonyms, each reIerrns
To who migrates from state country for IRE
residence in another The first noun Is used WIN
reference to the country from which the second with
reference to the country into which migration Is MADE
This seems simple enough. But definition IN
an American dictionary has little to do, apparently,
with the legal snars of international experts on the
subject AT recent sessions of the International Emil
grafton Conference in Rome there was temporary
deadlock in the proceedings while the exact meanings
of the two words discussed After debate last
ing four hours compromise definition was agreed
upon.
The Franco-Itaian definition, reported, is rath-
er wordy and confusing but to boil down to this:
An emigrant is person who leaves his native land to
seek work in another; immigrant is that person al
ter he has landed his first job in the adopted country
An amendment to throw little confusion back
into this simple definition. 1t stpulates that the term
immigrant should be applied only to persons with the
intention, expressed of implied of remaining perma-
nently and that the immigrant should be subject to
all laws affecting aliens in his adopted country from
the moment OF his arrival.
Let us hope this particularly won't throw any
monkey wrenches into much discussed lmml-

LOCAL HISTORY

Kansas citizen recently wrote to his newspaper
to complain of the fact that 80 students in class at
the state university wholly ignorant of matter
of local history. Kansas, it seems, had loyal
and far-sghted citizen who devoted many years of
effort TO planting elm trees in the open spaces which
are now Topeka. The trees did not grow easily and
many feowcitizens ridcued the idea that they
would grow there Today many of the streets Of that
city embowered with elms and they to be
found the edges of the prairie lands outside the
town.
In some ways this is small matter to call his
tory and to expect college students to be familiar with
Yet ignorance of this treeplaners labor of love and
vision is deplorabe because it is indicative of like
ignorance of many important things of national
as we'll as local history.
The erection of monuments to all the citizens who
have contributed to community's upbuilding is of
course foolish and extreme But a knowledge of the
facts OF communltys growth is very desirable. Too
many thriving, up-to-date towns are wholly unaware
Of the truly inspiring traditions and historical facts
Of their origin and development Why not go in for
course on local history?

SCHOOL BOARD r..
CONSIDERED THE
LIONS VOTE

Monday evening the result OF the
straw vote taken by the Lions Club
to determine the desire OF the citizens
OF Rawlins in connection with the
location of our new high school
building were presented to the
School Board.
In order that the members of the
board could see just where the peo-
pie resided who voted Superintend-
emit Coleman had prepared a map OF
the city. showing with colored tacks
h residence of the voters. This
shart showed conclusively that 1t is
the desire OF . big majority OF our
citizens. no difference in which part
OF the city they might reside. that
the new building be located In Park
Hill.
The members OF the School Board
discussed this proposition for some
time but no definite decision vas
reached as to the location which
will finally be selected.

"SPENCE"

Give mind to that one of your acquaintance whose per-
sonaity combines most ~agreeably and effectively the qualities
of courtesy, graciousness, diplomacy, tact, chivalry, unusual
intellectually, executive ability, mental cleanliness. If it is
perhaps affectionately called by you, as by so many others,
''Spence,' yclept Percy G. Spencer, chairman of the Republi-
can State Central committee.
Exactly what measure of the notable Republican triumph
in the recent election is attributed to the sagacous work of the
party's state chairman may not be estimated, but it was large
inteigently and effectively directed than this recent Repub-
lican one in which he was commander nchief. He is a natural
executive, a "born' organizer. He has in extraordinary degree
the quality OF inspiring to their best efforts those who are
associated with him. He is, withal, ''clean; - men accept his
leadership without suspicion, function as his aides with high
enthusiasm.
A strategist of extraordinary Judgment and shrewdness.
he is superior to the ordinary 81 tricks of political strategy;
he scorns the little, the ofttimes mean .recourses and -subter
fuges suggested by "eXigences'' which so many active in
politics consider as %justifable in view of the end which they
conceive such practices may serve.
That is strickingly illustrated by his course in the recent
campaign, in which candidates the election of whom he was
barrage OF "mud' in the history of Wyoming politics. \
leader OF lesser fidelity to ethics, one less inspired by high
ideals, a strateglst OF lesser vision and foresight, might have
been mlsled by such tactics into adoption of reciprocal tactics
There was available an abundance, a super-abundance, of
'anmumtlon'. With adherence to fine principle and with
ever, to hold the Republican campaign on a high plane and
the reaction which ''mud Singing inevitably produces
blasted the oppositons candidates in whose interest it was
unwisey resorted to.
The youthful chief of the executive organization of Wvo-
ming predominating political party is diversifedly a remark
limited only by the potentialities of his ability. 1t is delight
full to know him, to associate with him, to observe hin He
Is wholesomely inspirational. He should go far, deservedlv.|

Returns From Okla.
With HOld-Up Man

Fred Hillenbrand. special deputy
sheriff, returned Sunday night from
Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he went
last week after one Stanley Hudson,
alias Kirby. who on November 9th
held up the Smith rooming house on
Front street INT robbed Frank Dunn
of $40 in cash. Hudson has a pris-
on record, having served several
terms in the Wyoming ~penitentiary,
and indications are that he will again
do considerable time in that institu-
ton. 1t is to be hoped that he will
receive a term of sufficient length in
which to thoroughly deliberate over
some of his offenses against the law.
Ed. o. Farrell was booked at police
headquarters the first of the week
on a charge of drunkenness, being as
sessed a fine of $40. The arrest was
made by f. w. Naab, Union Pacific

Rawlins Lions Attend
Meeting at CHEYENNE

The Rawlins Lions Club was well
represented at the state meeting held
at Cheyenne on Saturday evening,
when representatives from the diff
ferent clubs of the state assembled to
greet the International President,
Mr.. Harry A. Newman, of Toronto,
Canada.
The Rawlins delegation, which
numbered an even bakers dozen.
made the trip to Cheyenne by auto
on Saturday, the return trip home
being made on Monday. The follow
ing Lions from the local club COM
prised the party: H. H. Nelson, Kirk
Miller. A. j. Roster, F. e. Froling,
David Rusk, Geo. o. Pierce, John
Bangs, A. A. Sanders, Paul Leimbach,
w. II. Storrs. Geo. A. Deaton, F.. A.
Hadsell, and w. II. Hunt.
The meeting was in the form OF a
reception and banquet held at the
Plains Hotel on Saturday night, and
was attended by a goodly r~epresen-
tation from practically every Lions
Club in the state. The guests of
honor were International President
Harry A. Newman, of Toronto, Cana
da, and District Governor Ed. Ellis.
The meeting was one of the most in
teresting as well as the most mem
orable ever held in the state. The
meeting was opened by the singing
of America" followed by God Save
The King" in honor of President
Newman.
President Newman delivered a
very instructive address, eulogizing
the Lions Clubs of Wyoming as well
as OF the nation, and closed with the
following complimentary remarks OF
the popuiace this side of the interna-
tional boundary: I'VE are quite I'M
decided III Canada as to whether we
shall annex you, absorb you or what.
For the lifetime of all here, and even
longer than that, VIC have lived side
ny side with 1000 miles separated
by only the International boundary
line, without trouble, and this is an
example for the rest of the world
what cooperation. common ideals and
common sense can do"
That the members OF the Rawlins
Club were in evidence at the V
ton is attested by the Cheyenne Tri-
bune in the following ironical re-
marks:
Hunt led his gang from Rawlins
in several wild o%utbursts and their
own composition about loving us
best of all took the meeting by
storm. 1t was the first time, accord
ing to the District Governor. that the
Rawlins Club ever showed up any
where that they were invited. but the
Rawlins Club certainly made its
presence known Saturday night"

Record Breaking Crowd
Attends Turkey Show

Lincoln Highway and Fourth St.
at the intersection in the business
district were impossible 10 auto
mobile traffic for an hour on Satur-
day afternoon on account of the vast
throng that had assembled to witness
the fun at Sill Brothers first annual
turkey trot.
Sill Brothers bakery had adver-
tised that promptly at 1880 O'Clock
ON Saturday afternoon they would
turn loose a flock Of turkeys from
the top of thei1 business building,
and long before the appointed time
the crowd commenced to assemble
to witness the fun. and to take a
chance on winning one of the fine
gobblers for the Thanksgiving feast.
The event drew the largest crowd
that has assembled at this place
since the big rodeo show. and 1t is
estimated hat fully 1900 people
filled the streets at 4:30. when the
big event was staged. Peter Sill, OF
the Sill Brothers bakery. appeared on
the roof of the bakery with a num-
Der of assistants at the appointed
time, and the excitement that was
occasioned by the turning loose Of
the live turkeys would equal that
WItucbScu dL q VIII west peTIOTm-
ance. There was a grand scramble
for the prize birds as they scared to
earth and many people were lucky
in securing a big fat turkey. or fat
chicken. Ten turkeys and four
chickens were released from the roof
Of the building. and as many families
are thanking Sill Brothers for their
generosity.
Sill Brothers are firm believers
in newspaper advertising and we be-
lieve we are safe in saying there were
also fifteen hundred people In the
crowd with a like conviction.

curing the prize turkeys and chickens
