ever given in our city and those who

dances were “swell affairs” would be
telling only half the story The Sen-
tinel man enjoys looking on at such
occasions and to note the gentility of
the young men and gracefulness of
the women which on these special
occasions were very much in evidence
The dances in Cheyenne are always
very congenial and there are many

When President Wilson’s message
to congress and the report of the sec-
retary whicK of course was first
submitted to the president are taken
in conjunction they form a very ad-
mirable statement of the attitude of
the administration toward the whole
question of national defense Tbe
president refusing to yield to any
passing hysteria eloquently stated
the traditional position of the people
of the Upited States toward war and
his opposition to a large standing
army Entirely consistent with this
position is Secretary Garrison’s ad-
vocacy of increasing our present small
army by adding 25000 men and in
other ways strengthening the military
power of the government His other
wise suggestions based upon a care-
ful study of our present defenses
doubtless reflect in detail the views
which the president stated in a general
form in bis message
In all the information which the ad-
ministration has readily placed before
the committees of congress there has
been no disposition to withhold any-
thing to gloss over defects or exag-
gerate dangers President Wilson and
hiB advisers have shown that they are
making the best possible use of tbe
resources at hand That is all that
the American people wish them to do

Hope of the Future Lies in Co-opera-tion
The Farmers’ Union through the

the American people for the friend-

the cotton farmers in the hour of dis-

The present emergency presents as
grave a situation as ever confronted
the American farmer and from the
viewpoint of the producer would seem
to Justify extraordinary relief meas

constitution and straining business

mtui of great value in the annals or
American finance because it tells the
official story of the financial opera-
tions Incident to the outbreak of the
world war of 1914 from the govern-
ment point of view On the purely
financial aide thia administration is
destined to bulk large in history for
two reasons: The new federal re
serve banking system is one: the un-
precedented financial crisis caused by
tbe war is tbe other The secretary
of the treasury in this report reviews
episode after episode since August 1
that combined will hereafter make
one of the most memorable chapters
in the history of the treasury depart-
ment Future students of this period
will marvel that the Wilson adminis-
tration was bitterly denounced as
hostile to business” while it was
scoring a great triumph in carrying
Hie burden of the most extraordinary
emergency known to modern finance
There is still almost no recognition of

the southland filling the highways of
industry with refugees and the bank-
ruptcy court with prisoners
All calamities teach ns lessons and
the present crisis serves to illuminate
the frailties of our marketing meth-
ods and the weakness of our credit
system and out of the financial an-
gmsh and travail of the cotton f-rmer
win come a volume of -discussion and
