The Impending Storm.
Profiteering may yet be the un
doing of this country. No nation
ever is greater than the govern
ment it maintains and if the gov
ernment does not conserve the
interest of the people, the people
in time loses confidence in that
form of government.
The greatest crime in the his
tory of our country is that of
proffiteering, wholesale and de
liberate robbery of the public.
Prices have been artificially
forced to such a high altitude
that it is becomingly more and
more dificult for a poor person to
even sustain life.
The law of supply and demand
no longer prevails. It has been
substituted by one of gouge and
grab.
Already many people, men and
women of sound and patriotic
principles, are predicting revolu
lon as the only means of check
ing this wholesale and lawless
thievery.
Our government should take
warning while there is yet time,
protection of profiteering should
cease at once, and prosecution
should be swift and relentless.
We can not afford to have our
great country wrecked upon the
rock of greed and avarice. And
yet today, because of the supine
inactively of our public officials,
we are heading straight toward
destruction.
Public endurance is at the
breaking point. Revolution is
hovering dangerously near.
The government should heed
the impending storm* before it is
too late to prepare to meet it.
All the wind in Washington
about “saving daylight” will
have no effect whatever on the
earth. The old ball will keep
right on revolving around tl e
sun at it ! egul. t on sp ;ed, vvheth

To Much Whits Wash.
The incarceration of Lieuten
ant, “Kardbcikd’’ Smith in a
military prison for his infamous
treatment of prisoners on the
prison farm near Paris, while
the colonel in command escaped
punishment, is but another item
which confirms the public belief
that the little culprit in our army
gets soaked while the culprit
higher up is whitewashed and al
lowed to go free.
It is disgusting. It is a crime
against justice in the army of the
United States.
It lends additional strength to
the growing belief that there
was something radically wrong in
the administration of the A. E. F
It is a well tstablished fact
that when a commander is with
out due regard for law and jus
tice and humanity himself he can
only expect that his subordinates
will take their cue from him.
Was this soin the case of “Hard
boiled ’’Smith? Was it possible
that he could sut ject his prison
ers to such inhuman treatment
without his immediate command
er being cognizant of the fact?
And was it possible for such
th'ngs to occur in the A. E. F.
without other < fficers still higher
up having a knowledge of con
ditions?
The inspector who invesligat
e l the case of Smith lecommen
ded that the colonel also he tried
by court martial. Yet the colon
el appears to have had sufficient
pull to render him immune.
It is even charged that in a
military prison in Fan's Ameri

can officers, even some of high
rank, were chained like wild
beasts.
Our dear friends in Washing
lon wonder why our fathers and
mothers do not care to have their
sons serve in the army, but if
they will open their eyes to the
facts as they exist there will be
no occasion whatever for wond
erment. The facts are too pain
fully evident.
Our country is facing a grave
crisis in the public unrest, and
one which will call for every
ounce of loyalty on the part of
its citizenship. But we can not
expect that loyalty unless justice
prevails. When the public loses
confidence in its army officials we
are approaching dangerously
near to the point of disintegrat
ion.
For the good of our country
let us have a full and thorough
investigation of these charges.
TOO MANY IRONS
The packers are now being
blamed for the price of meat, and
the usual remedy is demanded.
The government must take over
the packing industry.
The government took over the
railroads, and although it suc
ceeded in making the railroads
poor, it also made the shipping
public poor. Using the railroads
now costs so much that you feel
a good deal poorer every time
you indulge in that luxury.
The government is quite cap
able of making the packers poor
Any one who dislikes the pack
ers can feel quite happy about
that. And, as far as this paper
i concerned, that may happen
./ time, and wercome. We
should worry about what hap
pens to the packers; vvearen’t in
the packing business.
But while the government is
making the packers pour, will it
make us any richer? That is
what we want to know. Will it
make our meat cheaper?
If the packers havS conspired
to jackscrew prices up, so as to
fleece the public, we don’t mere
ly want to see them impovished.
We want fo see them ruined--
pauperizcd. But this is a matter
for accountants. If they have
done so, we can easily find it out
by investigatng the ledgers.
Investigations up to date mere
ly indicate that the packers make
a small profit, but that the turn
over is large—in a word, that the
high prices are due to high wag
es paid to employees, and to the
cost of transportation, for which
we really pay the government.
Future investigations may tell a
different tale; but we should ask
for more proof before we ask the
government to seize the packing
business.
It is a highly specialized in
dustry, needs a lifetime of ex
perimence to learn, and a very
delicately organized. The gov
ernment knows nothing about it
and would begin as an amateur,
with every thing to learn. In a
few months it would dislocate
the organization, and by dissi
pating its energies instead of con
centrating them it would develop
ruinous expenses wnich the con
sumer would have to defray in
the increased cost of meat.
It would be an excellent tiling
if government could handle all
staple industries. If it could.
But it will have to learn how
first and during i'.s apprentice
ship the experts must be kept
close at hand to show how econo
mies can grow cut of systemat
izing.
ILLINOIS TOWNSHIP
Noble Canady is building a
new house.
Prof. W. M, Skinner will teach
the Towner High School next
year.
Lyman Waltman and family
visited at the Pierson home last
Sunday.
Crops are extra good in this
part of the country, Grass was
never better.
Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Zuck and Mr
Conroy ate dinner Saturday with
Lyman Waltman and family.
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Reynolds
are the proud parents of twins,
a son and a daughter, born Aug.
11th.
R. E. Skinner and family went
to Denver last week. They were
accompanied by Mrs. Skinners
sisters, Majorie and Ellinor Snod
grass of Alexander Ivans.
Wanaka Camp Fire
Last weelc the Camp Fire Girls
went on a. hike dressed in the
most fashionable hike custom,
which is, middy blouse and bloom
ers.
Everyone v.as hilarious until
we met a poisonous viper, which
the mysterious Pacha killed by
attacking him from the rear and
hitting him on the ear. Pacha
was considered the heroine of the
hour, but she was soon deprived
ot the honor, because she fhd
f i om a terrified turtle.
After the excitement passed
camp was made. The potatoes
were put in the fire to roast, the
soup hung over the fire in an iron
pot to boil and the bacon hung
up to broil.
The brigade then went on to
take their afternoon swim, but
soon the bacon began to burn and
• hey moved toward camp, a swift
return.
Supper was welcomed by this
hungry bunch and they sat down
to a lovely lunch.
After supper VVachewe, chas
ing VVawptassee over the prairie
sprained her ankle, but by the
first aid her ankle was treated
immediately. To entertain the
patient Pacha and Kewanalan
gave the ‘•Dance of the Bathing
Girls.” Then Camp was culled
to order and the usual ceremony
was performed.
By Pacha & Kewanalan.
CHEYENNE COYNTY HIGH
SCHOOL OPENING
A number of prospective stu
dents have written that it will be
imposible for them to attend
High School the coming season
unless they can secure places in
private families where they can
work for their board. The most
of these are girls. Then, too, it
is very possible that will not be
room enough in the dcrmitories
for all who wish to come and pay
for their board.
We should like to request the
people of Cheyenne Wells to take
an inventory of their possibilities
along this line and determine
whether or not it will be possi
ble to take students on either of
these conditions, and if those
who can thus take students into
their homes will inform either
Miss Nickerson or myself, we
shall appreciate it very much,
Please let us know as soon as
possible for School opens Sept
ember Ist.
The proper training of the
young people is perhaps ihe
greatest job of any community
ar.d is a matter for the concern
of every adult in the community,
Let us all put our resources and
wisdom together to accomplish
this and to this end shall very
much appreciate the cooperation
and good will of every citizen of
the county.
