ton OF policy for the rehabilitation
OF the franc and ameiioration gen.
orally Of the financial crisis. The
vote against the government, which
was making its first appearance be-
fore the chamber. was 290 to 237.
After NJ. Herriot and his minis
tiers had rendered their designations
TO President Doumergue at the
Elysee palace, former Premier
Raymond Poincare, almost the only
French statesman of note who has
not been tried during the past two
years of financial stress, was called
upon by the president to form
national ministry" to save the
franc and rehabilitate the country's
dilapidated finances. NJ. Poincare
accepted the task, and this morn
ing began organizing a new cabinet.
The decision of President Dou-
to have a national ministry
was out OF Difference to

We also have developed, since
1910, system which takes the
place Of a domestic relations court.
All complaints coming to our prose-
cutting attorneys office are referred
TO the probation department for in
vestigation. After the facts are OBJ
tanned 1t is usually found that the
dln1culty can be solved and proper
adjustment made without a formal
appearance in court of the interest
ed parties. In fact the number of
these complaints reaching court is
very small in comparison to the
number of complaints received. If
the case does reach court il is be-
cause every other means has failed.
This procedure means saving the
good name, the respect and esteem
OF husband and wife for each other,
preserving the home, and avoiding
the publicity, notoriety and expense
Of court proceedings.
In view of the increased useful
ness Of the system and the neces-
sity of much detail connected with
the work it would seem that the
services of a full time stenographer
and office assistant is needed in or
der to release the officers from
routine work of bookkeeping and
accounting. Constant visitation,
home and otherwise, is absolutely
necessary to keep in touch with
problems and find ways and means

to destroy. To quote District Attor-
ney Thomas C. O'Brien of Boston:
The only humane agency of the
entire criminal law is the probation
system and so 7 believe that the
probation officers today have to
make it clear to the people that they
do not regard the probation system
as a panacea for crime.
"All cases coming before our
court are not cases that call for pro-
baton. nor are all cases placed on
probation. Care is taken that only
those whom We think can be bene-
fitted are allowed the privilege of be-
ing dealt with in this particular
way.
I'm looking back over the years
since the probation service became
operative in New Britain, namely
August /. 1908, or twenty-three
years ago next month, we find that
the whole number of persons plac-
ed on probation that year was rs,
Including 80 minors. Fines and
costs collected amounted to $4,000.

| fit of probationers' families - no

Iof cases placed on probation during
the year. New Britain is not peculiar
in this respect as the same is true

our own and other states. The fig

as ever before, nothing constructive
comes out of the traffic in liquor,

fects Of the traffic are always des-

Wholesome criticism is welcomed
in connection with our probation
work, and we are always glad of
opportunities for cooperating with
other agencies to remedy bad con-
ditions or correct wrongs. Unfor-
tunately even at this late date the
public at large do not understand
the intent and purpose Of the proba-

POINCARE TRYING
TO FORM CABINET
Succeeds HerriOt in Effort to
Save French Franc

Paris, July % Pl-The burden of
saving the franc was taken up to-
day by Raymond Poincare, former
president of the republic and almost
the only eminent statesman in
France who has not stirred to re-
habiitate Frances deplorable finan-
cial situation. At the request of
President Doumergue he began to-
day the arrangement of a national
ministry"
NJ. Poincare started his endeavors
by calling on former Premiers Bril-
and and Herriot and former Foreign
Minister De Selves. Returning
home. he received a delegation from
the parliamentary group which ia
yors a national union" cabinet.
Later he was to receive Albert
Sarrault, who was one of the dele
gates to the Washington conference
in 1921. and the heards Of the party
groups in the senate.
Things are going WELL, was all
that Poincare would say to the
newspapermen. 1t Is understood he
hopes rapidly to constitute a min
istry comprising four senators and
four or five deputies.
He is credited with the intention
OF taking the finance portfolio him
self in addition to the premiership.
Others mentioned for cabinet posts
are Louis Barthou, Andre Tardieu,
Nfo,,rira Pnlso oucift Harry
Simon.
NJ. Poincare has let 1t be known
that he intends to dispense with all
the under secretaryships which fig
ured in NJ. Herriot's short lived
ministry. He gave the impression
that the cabinet might be constitut-
ed early this afternoon. NJ. Robi-
neau, former governor OF the Bank
of France, called at Poincare's home
this morning during the absence Of
the premier-designate
In the chamber of Hobbies the
uestion of Herriot's successor as
president of the chamber caused
considerable discussion. The lead
Ing candidate at noon seemed to be
Raoul Peret, former hnance minis
ter, who presided over the debates
from 1920 TO 1924.
A group of radical socialist;
asked NJ. Herriot to stand for the
post again, but he declined. saying
he wished to preserve the independ-
ence he assumed on Saturday when
he stepped from the chair to take
part in the chamber debate.
At the close of his morning con-
situations NJ. Poincare had a brief
interview with President Doumergue
to report on his progress. 1t is un-
lderstood he insisted he must be both
premier and finance minister in or
der TO have sufficient authority to
|effect necessary economies and re-
habilitate the franc.

THE BEST TOWN

There are some folks so constituted, that if vou mt Hon,
MO the highest class city or town in America, thew would
look at its institutions and privileges in a depreciating sort Of
way. Ihey would be constantly remarking that if thew couId
have their way they would go ell sewhere, but thew merely
stay on there because they are forced to by having a lob OF
business there.
AND there are some, who if placed in any old ordinary
town, where there is nothing out of the usual. and no
exceptional advantages, will yet love it and say it is the best
town on earth. They will be such loyal friends and good
neighbors, that they will attract the affection of all tbe
people they meet. They will feel such deep attachment to
a community where these ties exist, that it will seem the
best place on EARTH. And so it will be, for them.
We have lots of that type of folks in Cody, and we can
always use a few more. The town is Just what YOU make it.

Old Customs Cling

Tradition, cutsom, habit-or call
1t what you may-receive reverent
treatment in Washington. Horse
drawn hacks. driven by old colored
gentlemen who wear long purple
coats and high plug hats, still at
tract many fares. Quill pens are
seen on the desks of many Govern
ment dignitaries. And on the desk
of each United States Senator in
the senate Chamber is a small bot
tie of sand. with which t. dry the
ink from the solon's pen. Excellent
reminders of the days of Calhoun
and Webster as are those predec-
essors of the now lowly and COM
monplace blotter, they are far from
as striking as still another symbol
of yesteryear, religiously preserved
by the Senate. We refer to the
snuff boxes which most unosten-
tatiously repose in inches in the
wall on either side of the Vice
Presidents rostrum. And, lest one
might think them empty, let us
quickly add hal among the duties
of the Senate's senior page is to
see that these boxes are always
freshly filled.
This little story might be a bet
ter one, were we able to say that
three or four venerable and disting-
uished Senators still pay frequent
homage at these all but forgotten
founts of refreshment. But the
truth is there is but one solon who
partakes of the powdered weed with
any degree of regularity. AS we
might hope for the sake of the
picture. however, he is truly a

JURIES DUTY

There is an increasing frequency of jury verdicts-evi-
IDENTIFY of the compromise variety-to hold criminals guilty in
degrees that are manifestly inconsistent with the evidence.
This habit is to be charged to increasing sentimentality. 1t
is becoming less and less unusual for those accused of offense
IN higher degree-and who are evidently either guilty in
that degree or innocent-to be found guilty of crime in lesser
degree. Especially is this true in murder cases.
Such compromise verdicts are compromise of principle.
Jurors who permit their sentiment or views relative to the
severity and kind of punishment decreed by law to affect their
verdict are false to their oaths. The penalty imposed is not
their affair. They are not responsible for it. Nor have they
any right to allow its consideration to enter into their verdict
The exercise of clemency is not in their province. All that
the jury can rightly consider is the evidence and the law
of the case as instructed by the court. To allow other con-
siderations to control their decision is to violate their solemn
obligations to the court, to themselves and to society.

IT'S WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT

Casper Tribune-The attitude of
state Republican leaders generally
as it relates to the forthcoming
campaign is indeed commendabIe.
They seem practically unanimous in
desiring a maximum of harmony
within the ranks; of obtaining coun-
sci from as many Republican voters
in the state as possible, to the end
that the voice of the people may be
the deciding factor in the selection
of candidates who are truly repre-
sentative and who above all else
are capable of guiding the course
of Wyoming along the road that
will make for the greatest pros
perity and satisfaction of the whole
citizenry.
This spirit has been generally
present in county meetings; it was
thoroughly apparent at the recent
meeting of the state Republican
central committee at Cheyenne.
There were differences of opinion
naturally, but majority views pre-
vailed.
Republican victory in itself may
be an empty thing; but if it &C
composites benefits to the state as
a whole 1t becomes a real force for
progress, for the development of
which are now latent and
of no practical and immediate value
to the people.
A platform solidly constructed up
on which able candidates can stand
with assurance hat the foundation
is strong and enduring, will awaken
the enthusiasm and enlist the sup
port of thousands of Wyoming peo-
pie who want constructive forward
action in getting results, without
flourish or ostentation.

RAGE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ACCIDENTS

There is a grave question of whether or not compulsory
automobile insurance would accomplish the purpose for which
it is pr~oposed-protect the public from careless drivers. 1t
would be just as logical to make life or fire insurance COM
pulsory to protect individuals and families on the theory that
such action would prevent poverty and relieve the state from the
burden of caring for destitute persons.
1t will take more than laws which shift the burden of
responsibility for habits of carelessness and extravaganza to
the shoulders of an insurance company to bring about habits
of caution and thrift.
