The press as- sociation has arms which reach into every corner of the world to gather | the news and the latter is in turn) cabled and wired to thousands of newspapers thruout the country, Not- withstanding the fact that press rep- resentatives go to the highest au- thorities. for their information and! censor it severely in. point of accu- racy before passing it on for public consumption, errors occur and it in- evitably falls to the lot of the news- paper to take the blame. An incident of this kind occurred on Thursday of this week when one of the two great press associations of the country flashed the news over, the country that the war was won, that the armistice had been signed! and that hostilities had* definitely ceased. An air of expectancy that! had pervaded the country for weeks/ past made the people easy prey to al report which afterward proved er-| roneous, with the’ result that with! the strain of years and months) broken the nation went delirous with joy. Small wonder that impromptu | they had awaited, hoping against | hope that it would come today, tomorrow. And yet the error nas|3 been most satisfactorily explained) from the journalistic standpoint—the responsibility of those who placed it on the wires. The newspaper is placed in a pecu- liar position in such an event. If with a reliable basis on which to work, it suppresses big news of this character and it is later officially confirmed it subscribés to a policy of being “dead” On ‘the other hand, if it proves untrue, which is uniike- y when the veracity of the press as- sociation ¢annet be challenged, it also lays itself open to severe cri ism. In brief the . newspaper * jamned df it does and damned if it] ioesn’t.”” But, it was all for nothing, you iay?. Not by long odds. Casper celebrated and the nation celebrated, ind there was enough to celebrate: in the fact that the enemy is tottering, | ves, falling to her knees in humble | ubmission to democracy. Imagine he feelings of ‘those ‘military’ com-/ nanders who were compelled tp sue} or a cessation of fighting that they | night carry the white flag, thru the! ied . lines. | And. the , Humiliation | as just begun. - Casper and the eh ion had a demonstration coming and t materialized’in splendid style. wane Teetovecoogaivavaneciivec oe Weibecsetpcbalepiacsecksesehvsicsstcassecaes i |the wells during the the ‘=e members of the House and Sen- ate have stood for re-election they; ‘have been defented. The demonstrates thing very clearly, and that is that the American people will not stand jfor a dictatorship. President Wilson jchose to draw the line and has re- |ceived the answer which was to’have | been expected from a free people. {He has had more loyal support from \the Republicans than from his election one own had supported him a great injustice in asking for their defeat. In Wyoming the people have done themselves proud. To have defeated | men of the national standing and prominence of Senator Warren and Representative Mondell would have been deplorable. Wyoming has rep- resentation in these men at the na- tional capital which is the peer of and State in the Union, and when the peace treaty is up for considera- tion Wyoming will have a represen- |tative capable of taking his place with any. Dr. Osborne can now return to his; home in Denver, or if President Wilson wants him, he is Fihaaas wel- |come to him. ee beet DULL WEEK IN OILDOM (From the Qil ‘City Derrick.) When the quotations for crude oil | in the various oil fields were fixed by| the oil director of the Fuel Adminis- ; |tration after consultation with celebrations should be staged before | official confirmation was received. | Official advices are often slow and a denial of the report found the peo-/ ple giving vent to their feelings in| joyous tumult. *s And now the error has been traced to the navy department where! a high official gave out the news on what purported to -be official and! authoritative information. This man gave it out in good faith, knowing, that it wéuld bring relief. to many | anxious hearts over here, the press) association handled it in good fai ith | and it was in the same spirit ‘nome the newspapers, among them the Tribune, gave credence to the mes-| sage and gave it to the people. There was a distinct pleasure in handling such news, its. significance was over-| powering and its effect upon the pub- lig was electrifying. It was the word producers of the various districts, it: | was understood that the schedule Larbeld be adhered to until November 1. It was expected that during that lars there might be discovered rea- |sons for modifying or changing some | of the prices. Apparently such a con- dition has not arisen, as A. C. Bed- ford, chairman of the National Petro- leum War Service Committee, noti-| fied the various chairmen of the sub- ordinate committees that it had been deeided to continue the prices for another three months from Novem- ber 1. the approval of Mr. Requa, oil direc- tor. It means that there will be no change in the prices for crude oil at months, but the old quotations will be maintained.
