WHITEMAN GIVES
CONCERT AT MURAT

A symphonic experiment in mod
ern Jazz was revealed again last
night in the concert Of Paul White
man at the Murat. The modern Jazz
is fast passing the experimental

journey. a very definite trend and
style was apparent. A balance seems
to exist, a mid point between the
classical and the jazz as we have
known 1t before.
This gives to the melodies played
life or rather a spirit that seems
to echo the trend Of modern thought
in the direction OF action and bright
coloring. al

We farmers and ranchers who
live along this road between Casper
and the vast territory to the north

A Poor Practice

1t is n very general practice for judges and magistrates,
after sentencing an offender, to suspend sentence providing the
culprit absents himself from the jurisdiction of the court and
docs not return for a specifid time. A case illustrating the
point recently came to light in New Jersey when a man, plead
ing guilty to carrying concealed weapons, was put under sus-
pended sentence and warned that he must leave the jurisdiction
of the state at once and not return therein for five years.
This practice cannot be too harshly condemned. Either a
man is guilty or he is innocent. Either he deserves n probation
or parole period under the supervision of the proper officers or
he does not deserve this leniency. But here Is the spectacle of a
guilty man, a man guilty of a high misdemeanor, being let off
scot free and foisted off on any other state where he may elect
to go, absolutely unpublished.
Let a state punish the crimes within the state. Why should
the rest of the nation suffer from the depredations of Grim
inals exned from the scene of their wrong-doings by a selfish
justice which seeks no. to correct a condition but to conduct a
judicial system at a minimum of expense. What matters it to
law.breaker where the scene of his next escapade is? He es-
capes the payment of his crime against society without even
having to serve a term in the county Jail. OF what use is a
court of law? Why not simply broadcast to the underworld

The Farmer S Needs

The agricultural commission appointed by the president to
investigate all phases of agriculture in the United States with
a view to the enactment of proper statutes TO correct unfavor-
able conditions, has finished its task and has submitted a very
thorough report of its proceedings and recommendations.
The report hits, in no Uncertain terms, the conduct and ad-
ministration of certain federal agencies, such as the interstate
commerce commission and the tariff commission. The depart
ment of agriculture, federal reserve board and internal rev.
enue bureaus also came in for their share of criticism. The
committee found, it reported, that interdepartmental or in
terbureau iealousies were seriously handicapping the admin
istration of some departments and were causing a dog in the
manger" attitude that is resulting in the under expansion of
some governmental agencies and the retarding of the develop
ment of others.
Furthermore the commission has declared that agriculture
is suffering from the country's lack of a unified banking sys-
TEN and suggests that the remedy lies in measures to increase
the relatively small membership in the federal reserve system
and in a modification of certain state banking laws. Hearings
are now being held by a house committee and efforts will be
made to frame legislation for the consideration of congress
at this session. The report of the commission is refreshingly
frank. 1t deals with facts, not personalities. Where the fault
lies it has been exposed in impartial manner.
The tiner of the soil is the backbone of the nation. We
cannot exist on concentrated, chemically distilled food tablets
vet and are still dependent upon the farmer for what We cat.
1t is only fair to so regulate matters so that he may make a
reasonable profit as he supplies us with the necessaries of
existancc.

Almost Too Much

Still another public official has asked that his income as
such be reduced. He is Sheriff Arthur 5. Maudlin, Of West
chester county, New York. His salary is $4,000 and the addi-
tional fees that accrue to him bring the total close TO $4,000.
Sheriff Mandolin has asked that the fees be abolished.
Either his name is an index of his condition or else the
long discussed millennium is almost upon us. Tere is a public
official actually asking that his income be reduced from
$4,000 to $4,000. 1t is unthinkable. In this day of money
grabbing and eommcrcialism what has prompted the sheriff
to request such o strange procedure?
Sheriff Maudlin is the second official in his county to
suggest a cut in his own salary. The other official was Daniel

it become epidemic? If so, let us supplicate the powers that

account of the awful condition of the
Gillette road. which is now a loot
under water, and as a result. Casper
merchants lose this business, which
they are much in need of at the

We have found out that the mem
bers of the Natrona county board
Of Commissioners make promises
with no intentions of living up to
them. A year ago we petftioned
the board to repair our road. 10 re
grade It. and make 1t p~assable. The
board agreed to do the work as
o as summer came and the road
dried up. Before long 1t was sum
mer. and the road was dry as a
bone, but nothing has as yet been
done. In our opinion. the commits
sIoners might well have foregone
the expensive item OF spending ST.
to $4,000 on a bridge across the
Platte river in the rear OF has
ranch that is absolutely useless and
spent n fraction of this mohey on
our road that would have served

occasional shack near the river
bank, which is not occupied.

tiles and the groundwork in every school subject. The present
crowded curriculum makes character training difficult. The
course of study should, therefore, be reconstructed in terms
of character qualities, habits, tastes, interests, and attitudes,
as well as skill and information which should be acquired in
each year and each subject. Special high grade teachers par
ticulary gifted in character training should be assigned TO
help pupils study ethics through story, lecture and direct APP
plicauon as a means of counteracting the influence OF news
paper scandals and moving picture suggestion"
The further intention is to also grade and rate the subject
on the same plan as in academic work, and to provide parents
and guardians with detailed reports of the pupils standing
and improvement. This should. prove of invaluable aid and as
sistance to the parents in checking up and supplementing their
own observation of the particular deficiencies and needs of
children and in their effort to correct these deficiencies and
errors through proper training, and seems indeed worthy of a
wholehearted trial.

Character Building

1t is becoming ever more broadly recognized that one Of the
proper functions of a school is character training. in fact that
one of the most important functions of a school is to lay a
sound foundation of character upon which the educational
structure may be builded TO the honor and advancement of
the human race. The too crowded curriculum has failed 10
admit of much effort in this direction, and it is with great
satisfaction one prepares to observe New York city's board of
education in its effort TO weed out Come Of the less important
subjects to provide time for character training. This section
of the report should serve as "A basis for other communities
eager to represent the best In educational values.
Character traising should be the aim of all school actiy.

Sustained Interest

Women continue TO show an increasing interest and actiy-
ity in things political, instead of a decrease after the novelty
had worn off, as was the melancholy prediction. This has been
demonstrated by the journey of 800 women from a single coun-
ty, Monmouth, in New Jersey, TO Washington to call upon
President Coolidge to convey to him the greetings of the Wo-
mems Coolidge Army. an organization of 10000 women organ
lied to work for his election. Lead by Mrs. Lewis S. Thompson,
national committeewoman and commanderin-chief of the army
and Miss j. Mabel Brown, vice-chairman Of the county and
general of the "army," the 300 women made the pilgrimage,
with no axe to grind, no fayors to ask-just to tell the presi-
dent that they were standing by" This would seem indicative
of a sustained interest and "A sincere intention.

Election Of Immortals

There has been a change in the rules governing the nomi-
nation of candidates for New York universitys hall of fame.
1t is readily understood that one must be dead to be great,
but the board in control has decided that they must be even
deader than has been required up to this time. We may be in
error, but we are under the impression that ten years had been
supposed 10 be sufficient time to clearly demonstrate that the
candidate had passed beyond mortal ken. The term has been
heightened to twenty-five years.
However as death is a positive and not a comparative
term, the shortness or length will hardly concern the condi-
date, if one must wait until death for fame, it matters not
how much longer one must wait.

The Lord Knows

Meetings of the Chicago city council are now opened reg
ularly with prayer. Some of the aldermen heard that the Unit
ed States senate always began its sessions that way and be-
lieved themselves entitled to the same formula Most folk are
ready to concede that a Chicago alderman is highly in need
of all the prayers he can get, but nobody supposed he would
start the program of devotion himself. In the old days the
council was usually opened with jacks or better.
Naturalists of the Argentine museum of natural history
have discovered fossils of five glyptodons and one scelido-
therium, a fossilized human skeleton and a human skull in
the deposit along the banks of a lake near Chasoomus. While

abundance, human fossils are rare, although it is contended by
local scientists that there is plenty of evidence that men lived
on the pampas in company with the prehistoric beasts.
