TENDERS RESIGNATION ON SATURDAY
Frank E. Smith Resigns Before
Time Set for Hearing Charges
of Misconduct and Neglect of
Duty-Gevernor Accepts.
is SUCCEEDED BY SANDERS

State Game and Fish Commissioner
Frank E. Smith rendered his resigna-
ton from this office to the governor
of the state last Saturday morning,
before the time set for the hearing of
charges of misconduct and neglect of
duty, filed last week by the chief axe
cutive.
A. A. Sanders, of Rawlins, was i'm
mediately appointed to fill the vacan-
cy by Governor Ross. Mr.. Sanders
was sheriff of Carbon county for three
terms, but was defeated in the last
general election by George Austin,
present sheriff of that county.
w. L. Walls, attorney for Smith,
stated that the former commissioner
presented his resignation on Satur-
day to take immediate effect, because
a meeting of the newly established
game and fish commission had been
set for the following Monday.
"Mr. Smith felt that he would pre-
sent his resignation to the Governor
rather than have her labor under the
impression that he was incompetent"
said Mr. Walls, land because Mr..
Ross felt that his administration of
the office of game and fish commits
sioner was distasteful to her. Nh.
Smith did not desire to embarrass the
Governor any further by remaining
in the office, hence he presented to
her his resignation"

 That much of the crime and mis- cry in life is caused by the fact that most people place the dollar above everything else was stated by Frank Jewell Raymond. Mir. Raymond said that men today have four real desires. They are work, play, love and worship. He said some men like scientists and educators live for their work alone: many men are dominated by their natural desires to care for and protect their home and loved ones; some people live for their interpretation of the scriptures and their hopes of completing a good life. while others live for play and get play out of their work. He said the iails are overcrowdcd in some sections; people are in in- stitutions; there is privation and suf- fering, all because people put the dollar mark above everything else. But the dollar is not the most im- portant thing in life." he empha- sized. When your mother was making sacrifices for you was she thinking of the dollar? When your father gave you your start in life was he thinking of the dollar?
 Some of us are yellow dogs, flee dogs. We are covered with 'flees' because we flee from all responsibi ities, when they are for the right motives.
 q don't care how much you have all I want to know is, what kind of a man are you? We stable, ad- mired, solid, successful businessmen break the smaller laws and laugh at them. Then the man with the criminal mind and less restraint when he finds himself in a hole gives in to his criminal impulses.
 There is many a good fellow ir a crowd, who isn't fit to live with in his own home
 "I want to meet men who have real warmy handshakes, not the kind with the clammy mitt.
 Are we the people who can stand for our own ideals? Use what you have to get what you want"

 Tt was question, rather in re- gard to right of these men of learn ing to remain indifferent 10 public ignorance and to refuse 10 assume any responsibility for Interpreting to men not technically trained what men of science have believed and why they have believed 1t. Even 1T the attempt to do something of this in the trial had been successful Its influence could not have offset the long period Of superciliousncss which has characterized the attitude Of many a man of scientific attainment towards those who were not Of his cloth. Unfortunately for education- al progress. dogmatlsm and bigo'ry were the exclusive attributes Of no single camp in the issues which led up to this trial.

The theory has justification only 1T brains are to be paid deference wherever found.
 "It is not we'll to blind ourselves to the weaknesses of official college organization even though we do not know how to correct them. The col lege process is admirably adapted to importing knowledge. It has some effectiveness in cultivating intelll- xence, It does little towards cultl- vating understanding of the lnterre- lations of facts and of the unity or knowledge. This therefore has to De left to the self-education of the student, without the spirit of which none of the college contribution is of much worth

Bars Are Lifted

Washington, Sept IT P,-The American government has thrown up the bars against Shapurji Saklat- Nala communist member of the British house of commons, who sought 10 visit the United States as a British delegate 10 the inter-par- liamentary union to convene here next month.
 Because of Saklatvala's inhamma- tory and revolutionary speeches in parliament and elsewhere, Secretary Kellogg has ordered revoked under the immigration law the passport visa which already has been granted him at London.
 Kellogg's Position "1 do not believe in curbing free speech, nor do 1 believe in making this country the stamping ground for every revolutionary agitator Of other countries" Secretary Kellogg declared in announcing the decision to bar the commons member from American shores.
 The administration decision which is in flat conflict with the eX. pressed view of Chairman Borah of the senate foreign relations commit , tee, was announced immediately aft CT the secretary Of state had confer red at the White House late yester- day with President Coolidge and Representative Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, a member of the arrange ments committee for the interpar- liamentary meeting.
 Propaganda Visit | The secretarys announcement quoted from recent utterances of Saklatvala in parliament and else where from which it was concluded that his mission 10 this country was in fact to spread revolutionary pro- paganda.
 Senator Borah. who had made known his views on tho matter to Secretary Kellogg before the deci- sion was announced, declared before he knew that Saklatvala's passport visa had been ordered revoked that he considered such course unneces- sary and unwise, He believed it would imply greater restriction on free speech in the United States than in Great Britain. None of Saklat- vala's revolutionary utterances in his own country, the senator said
