CODY MAN WRITES OF
CONDITIONS IN SWEDEN
Carl Johanson who left Cody in Oc
tober for a visit with the home folks
in Sweden, writes that he sailed from
New York Friday , the 13th, had a
fine trip across and received the En
terprise upon the day of his arrival —
which he calls service.
His letter contains much interesting
information, and he has this to say of
prices as compared with wages and
the cost of living in America:
“Everything in Norway is very high
compared with working man’s wages,
much higher than it is in America,
figuring the same way, in.other words,
an American laborer buys more for
his wages than does a Swede or Nor
wegian, but we get more for our
dollar in Norway and Sweden than
we did in America.
“A meal on the train in Norway
costs 5 crowns, a little less than a
dollar;the same meal in America
would cost a dollar and fifty cents or
more. A room in Christiana costs 12
crowns, a little over $1.00; same room
in America would have cost at least
$4.00. Five and a half crowns to the
dollar in Norway, three and seventy
hundredths crowns in Sweden to the
dollar.
“Across the line in Sweden things
are a little cheaper, Norwegian silver
•nd copper money has the same value
in Sweden as in Norway. Electricity
in great use as light and power in
the two countries. Telephone service
M fine. Automobiles are found in
great numbers, mostly American ma
chines. There are not as many Fords
as other cars compared with the num
ber In America.’’

WYOMING IS ON
RADICALS LIST
THE BCHEME TO STEAL THE
LEGISLATURE IS BEING,
PERFECTED.
The daily press last weak carried a
most insignificant item to the effect
that the members of the Socialist
party would be permitted, in different
states, to co-operate with so-called
“labor** organizations in their politi
cal activity at the coming election.
Few people probably paid heed to
this, not understanding what it means,
but it means a great deal for the fu
ture welfare of the states involved,
and one of those states io Wyoming.
It means that the plan adopted in
Chicago in February last by a con
ference of radicals to mass their vote
in the primaries of the old parties and
nominate for the Legislature candi
dates who have agreed, in advance, to
stand for radical legislation rather
than stand by the party platforms. In I
some districts it will be the Republican ;
candidate they expect to name, and In
other districts it will be the Democrat
candidate.
A Socialist Move.
The whole move came from Social
ist quarters. This was made evident
a year ago in July when the Socialist
committee adopted a resolution to se
cure a conference of delegates from
all radical organizations in the land.
That conference was held in Chicago
in February of this year. It was the
unanimous decision of those present
the way to gain political control of a
large number of states —Wyoming be
ing one of the number —was to quietly
mass their forces, walk into the pri
maries and la this way capture the
nominations. The scheme is not new.
It was tried and proved successful by
the Nonpartisan League in a number
of states. It was through thfb system
of “stealing” party organizations that
the Nonpartisan League—and that is
just another name for socialism —
gained political control of North Da
kota, which was ruined financially as
a result.
Want Legislatures.
In securing control of the Legisla
tures of a number of states, the pur
pose of these radicals is two-fold.
First, it will put them next to the
state treasury and thus furnish money
for radical propaganda in other states,
just as they used the money which
came into their hands through the
Bank of North Dakota, to extend
propaganda in other states, one of
these other states being Wyoming.
Second, they hope to pass legislation
which will materially Increase taxa
tion, for none of those backing these
movements themselves pay any taxes,
and by this system of adding burdens
to the ownership of property, finally
make it unprofitable to so own and
then all property will revert to the
state. State socialism will result.
This idea is not new. The secretary
of the national organization at this
time, directing radical activities in
Wyoming, is Frederic Howe. Mr.
Howe is the author of a book used
extensively in Socialist circles, In
which he plainly and frankly sets
forth the proposition that the easiest
and quickest way to force common
ownership of land Is through increas
ing taxes until they become confisca
tory. Aiding Mr. Howe is one Jay G.
Brown, whose radical activities have
made him a rather conspicuous char
acter. He is another man who insists
this system Is the quickest and best
way.
The German Socialist—and the So
cialist of the United States are but an
offshoot of the German organization—
have openly adopted, this plan In that
country to confiscate all property, and
they make bo bones of their position
In the matter. They are taking every
step possible to Increase taxation, feei
that In time taxes can be raised te the
point where they will make all prop
erty ownership unprofitable, and then
will they have actual socialism.
People Must Awaken.
The people of Wyoming can save
themselves and their state from the
blight of radical legislation only by
making It their business to know the
truth about the new movement which
invaded the state under the name of
the Nonpartisan League a few months
ago, and which is about to change its
nomenclature, and then make It their
business to see that their party—it
matters not whether that party be
Democrat or Republican—select only
the ablest and most loyal men for the
Legislature candidates. Men with half
baked ideas and radical theories
should be avoided at all times; men
who think the world la to be reformed
over night through legislative enact
ments should not be nominated; men
who believe there are “classes” In this
nation and that there should be legis
lation for one class as against another
class, should be left at home; men
who are absorbing the radical doe
trines of the well paid and Imported
agitators who are in the state, not for
the good of the people, but here whol
ly because they are well paid by Rus*
elan Interests for their activities,
should be made to understand the peo
ple of Wyoming will have nothing to
do with them.
The move to destroy good govern
ment is well organised. It must be
watched. It is cleverly handled and
insidiously propagated.
CARRIES MUSIC MANY MILES
Horn Said to Have Transmitted
Sounds Distinctly for a Most ,
Remarkable Distance.
A length of 35 feet and an open
ing of 12 feet square are the meas
urements of the world’s largest horn
for broadcasting music received by
radio. This giant horn is In success
ful dally operation at Idora park, a
public amusement resort In California.
The broadcasting capacity of this
huge Instrument is sufficient to carry
radio music throughout an area of
approximately 29 square miles.
In addition to the general interest
in its sheer size and amplifying range.
It is of absorbing Importance to the
radio expert because of the fact that,
through the use of its electro-dynamic
reproducer, such true tones have been
produced as to eliminate what Is
technically known as “distortion.”
One thousand feet of clear airplane
spruce lumber went into the construc
tion of this horn. The engineers who
built It were confronted with difficul
ties of design and erection, owing to
its giant size. It Is equipped with
a late type of radio reproducer and
power amplifier.
Os course the construction of the
horn was more or less in the nature
of a spectacular “stunt” on the part
of the amusement park, but the basic
idea is nevertheless impressive. It is
just another indication of a far-reach
ing influence which warrants atten
tion.
EVEREST TOP STILL UNTROD
But British Explorers In Recent At
tempt Got to Height Never
Previously Attained.
The highest point above sea level
ever reached by a human being afoot,
27,800 feet, was attained, with the aid
of oxygen-breathing apparatus, by
two members of the Mount Everest
expedition at noon, the 27th of last
May, says Henry S. White in the Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. This brought
the explorers within 1,702 feet of the
summit, the highest point on the
earth’s surface. The final attempt
was to have been made June 6, but
the monsoon broke June 3, definitely
frustrating any further efforts for this
year at least. When the monsoon
breaks on Mount Everest, there is no
alternative but to get off the moun
tain as soon as possible.
It has now been definitely proved
that the mountain itself at the highest
points reached is not difficult to climb,
and the two explorers who came so
near to reaching the actual summit
were able to proceed along the north
face without ropes. The one and only
obstacle that made the summit unat
tainable was the bad weather, and
with the monsoon left out, it ts cer
tain that the summit will be reached
at the next attempL The two explor
ers who reached this highest point
were Capt. Geoffrey Bruce, one of the
leaders of the expedition, and George
Finch, a scientist attached to it
Rough Men and Robins.
A few days ago a car inspector,
looking over a coal train at Arkvllle,
N. Y., discovered a bird’s nest on the
top of a journal box of an empty car.
Investigation disclosed two baby rob
ins in the nest. The orphan birds at
once became the center of attraction
for the yard men and the various train
crews. It was quite evident the young
robins needed parents.
In an effort to find the home of the
young travelers it was learned that
the empty car had been picked up at
West Davenport, 54 miles distant. A
delegation of switchmen, yardmen,
trainmen and gther Interested persons
immediately waited on the division
superintendent The car was hooked
on to an engine and taken back to
West Davenport, where It was spotted
in the railroad yard at the exact place
from which it had been taken. The
frantic mother bird found her little
ones and everybody was happy.
Campaign Terrors.
There was a wild and frenzied scat
terment. Men, white-faced and star
ing-eyed, fled as if pursued by a pes
tilence. They dropped whatever they
had in hand and stood not upon the
order of their going, but departed like
frightened roebucks, bitting only the
high places as they went.
“Why are the people fleeing?” we
asked.
“A candidate who calls himself ‘the
friend of the people’ has just come to
town,’* replied an innocent bystander
who had no vote. —Kansas City Star.
Seeking History of Tibet.
The “Forbidden City” is to be visited
by a British mission in the hope of
obtaining real information on the his-
r tory of Tibet. Every member of the
party is a British Buddhist, and they
believe through religious affiliation
they can obtain what other travelers
and explorers have sought In vain.
Foreigners who have entered ths “For
bidden City” are far and few between,
and no one heretofore has been af
forded the opportunity to study the
religion, literature and history of this
sealed country.
A Tired Business Man.
“What is the exact age of Mr. Grab
coin?’’
“It’s rather uncertain.”
“Eh?’’
“In the evening at a jazz resort
he seems to be not a day more than
forty, but when he gets down to ths
office ih the morning with his grouch
hitting on all six cylinders, you’d think
ha was at least Sevsnty, and not tn
«ood health at that,-—BtrnUnshaß
