STAND BY

If there ever was a time when
the business world, the conservative
people, should stand by the Repub-
lican party, it is now. The Dem
acratic-radical combination is bent
on bringing disaster to the country
by means of dangerous experiments,
financial and economic, all of which
have been tried and found wanting.
The best bet for the business world
now is the Republican party. Should
the test come, thousands of hard
headed Democrats who do not sub
scribe to the Democratic-radical pro-
gram will DIN with the hard-headed
Republicans in saving the. country.
, 1924-04-30

Mr.. Franklin D. Roosevelt is do
ing his party no good when he in
vites a comparison with the record
of Republicanism. whether on
grounds of honesty. efficiency or
general concern for the public well
fare. The forlorn hope of the Dem
ocrats lie in their ability to conceal
as thoroughly as may be the dis
graceful shortcomings of the Wilson
administration. and, if possible. to
dissipate the disgust with which the
people are observing the senate in
vestigations. Comparison has al
ready been courted by the Repub-
licans and Stunned by the Demo
Gratis. The leaders of the present
administration are urging it now,
confident of the verdict which the
voters will render.

GREYBNLL SCRIBE ABOUT
RIGHT


The W. C. T. U. has kept a COM
mittee OF women in attendance at
all liquor trials in district court at
Casper during the present term. This
committee has kept close watch on
how the trials were conducted.
Whether the attendance of this com
mittee had anything to do with
it or not most of the people charged
with violations of the liquor laws
have been convicted. That sort of in
terest in enforcement of all of our
laws would no doubt show results.
The attendance of people interested
in decent government will not con-
vict people who are not guilty but
will put the fear of public senti-
ment into those who are inclined
to have an easy conscience about
the enforcement of law. There are
more good people than bad in every
community but usually those who
want to violate the laws are more
assertive and bluff their way thru.
They never fail to get out and vote
at primaries and all elections, they
get what they want by working at
the job-lots of them don't work at
anything else and they are never
divided by half a dozen issues.

The Wonderful Horse

o horse, you are a wonderful
thing; no buttons to push, no horns
to 'honk; you start yourself, no
clutch to slip; no sparks to miss, no
gears to strip; no license buying
every year, with plates to screw on
front inc rear; no gas bills climb
ing up each day, stealing the joy
OF life away; no speed cops chug-
ging in your rear, yelling summons
in your ear. Your inner tubes are
all o.. K. and, thank the Lord, they
stay hat way; your spark plugs
never miss and fuss; your motor
never makes us cuss. Your frame
is good for many a mile; your body
never changes style. Your wants
are few and easy met; you've some
thing on the auto yet.-H. r. Ell

FIT FOR HI JOB

Somewhat refreshing is the man
ner in which Harlan F. Stone, the
new attorney general of the United
States, enters upon the duties of
his very important post.
81 propose" he says, ito make
the constitution and the laws the
shield of innocence. but the swift
avenger of guilt"
He talks somewhat like President
Coolidge. He is brief and to the
point, and what he says is easily
understood. He says that he accept
ed the appointment because it pre-
scented the opportunity to further
the cause of clean and efficient gov
eminent under the leadership and
with the firm support of the pres
ident." He has unbounded confidence
in that leadership. He knows that
it is the duty of the attorney gen
eral to enforce the laws of the
United States. 1t is to be his pur-
pose to perform that duty without
fear or favor and in a manner
worthy of the great office"
The new attorney general starts
with a clean slate. He is under no
obligation to any faction Or any
party. He has no friends to aid
and no enemies to punish. The
policy he ~enunciates is beyond cri-
ticism. He would establish a high
standard by which to be guided in
all of his work. He pledges him
self to do his duty aggressively. He
would do everything possible to pre-
vent the laws from being violated,
and punish violations when they
occur.
Mr. Stone has a monumental task
before him, but there is every rea-
son to feel that he has the brain
and the physique to perform it sat
isfactorily. He will not be handi-
capped or distracted by attacks upon
himself. He does not have to de-
fend himself, for the simple reason
that he needs no defense. The vo-
lume and the Importance of the
work of the department of justice
are not fully realized ever by well
informed persons. But we have
here a man who has not only the
ability but the will an dthe desire

MAKE THE

Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant
secretary of the navy under Wilson,
wants the people to compare for eff
ficiency and honesty" the Wilson
and Harding-Coolidge administra-
lions. If there are any citizens not
familiar with the facts. they should
Immediately make the comparison.
The evidence is in documentary
form and accurate conclusions can
be readily drawn therefrom. In
making such a comparison the in
v~estigator will also be making a
comparison between the methods of
Republican and Democratic COM
mittees of inquiry.
Following the end of the Wilson
administration the famous Graham
committee Of the Republican house
looked into the records of the con-
duct of the war, and uncovered
such an amazing amount of graft,
inefficiency. and i~nexcusable extra
yagance as has astounded all who
have read the committees report.
Every charge made by that commit
tee was substantiated by u~ndisputed
records of the war departments as
they were conducted by the Wilson
regime. The aircraft scandal was
made the subject of an exhaustive
inquiry directed by Chas. E. Hughes,
now secretary of state, in which
the court martial of several officers
was recommended. They were all
whitewashed by Secretary of War
Baker with the concurrence of Mr..
Wilson. After the Republican ad-
than ninety Indictments were re-
turned by grand juries, all of them
growing out of war contracts with
the former Democratic government.
Contrast the procedure of the Re
publican committees with the DEM
ocratic committees that are now
combing the government for an eX-
cuse upon which to hang an indict-
ment. The Republicans assembled
facts, figures and documentary ev-
idence which enabled the depart
ment of justice to convince a grand
jury in almost a hundred instances,
and secure convictions in most of
those hal have come to trial. The
Democrats have proved nothing ex-
cept that a former official told a
lie which injured nobody but him
self. Their committees have taken
volumes of testimony, practically all
of which is valueless from a legal
standpoint. But two indictments
been found-one of them for
contempt of the senate for refusing
to answer certain questions, and the
other against an individual whom
President Harding long g sus-
pected of graft and summarily dis
from public service.

MUSIC WEEK

Next week is National Music
week. and Cody. with the same
spirit which characterizes it in all
community work, will observe this
week in a fitting manner The
churches, schools and local musical
organizations will each recognize the
occasion.
National Music week is the out
growth of many local music weeks
which have been held in all parts
of the country. 1t is the response
to the desire for STANDARDIZATION
expressed by the local committee
and represents the joint efforts of
hundreds of cities throughout the
country to spread more widely, first
within their own borders, and then
throughout the United States, a love
of music nj appreciation of its
growing importance in the life of
h individual and the community.
During this week. set aside as a
tribute to music, an opportunity will
be given every man, woman and
child to hear its message and to
realize that at least some form of
music has an appeal to and a mean
ing for him or her. For National
Music week is a radio in which ev-
eryone become either a sending or
a receiving station. Music will be
in the air, bringing pleasure, re-
freshing relaxation and melody to
the public as a whole.
Hundreds of organizations in the
large cities and scores in the small
Ter will cooperate to carry out the
objects of the observance. A mighty
wave of harmony will sweep thru
the land. Churches, schools, musical
societies. women's clubs, theatres,
industrial plants-organizations di-
rectIy concerned with music and
others not directly concerned with
IL but understanding its Importance
will contribute each in it's own
way to the joint effort to impress
upon the public what music can do
as a comfort, a stimulus, a nerve
s~teadying force and a companion
to man in his work and play, in his
home and in the community. Among
them. these organizations and the
hosts of individuals who will take
part as directors and performers in
the events of the week. will reach
hundreds of thousands of their fell
low citizens, perhaps wen the ideal
the entire population.
The city which. through its local
observance, "gives more thought to
music" has not only the immediate
benefit of a succession of attractions
carefully planned for its entertain
ment and improvement, but still
more important, the prospect of a
continued development in its music
al life and therefore also in its civic
and social life. For the establish
ment of permanent musical activities
upon the foundation of the interest
treated by Music week is one of the
principal objects of the effort.
The value to the nation of the
broadening and deepening of the
love for music, ever in a single
community. is very great. National
Music week. aiming to accomplish
this result in hundreds, and ulti-
mately thousands, of communities
throughout the land, has a potential
value great almost beyond calcula-
ton.
Hail to Americas first National
Music week! Let each pay tribute
in his own way. Let each receive
