Before there is again peace and harmony within our finperial borders somebody else must take his pen in nd and offer suggestions and relieve Mr. George immer and His Excellency, the governor, for they spem to be getting nowhere very rapidly. ~The governor feels that a convention of business shen of the state. should be gathered together to dis- cuss and fix the prices of crude oi! and its refined product; but Mr. Brimmer is utterly opposed to such w& plan, expressing the fear that the Midwest Oil com- Bany would pack such an assembly and render its price fixing null and void. 7 Mr. Brimmer is difficult to please. He has a chip on his shoulder and would resort to radical measures. If he possessed the power, in his present frame of wind, there is no telling just what he would not do. As it is he desires somebody else to apply the bed slat to the Midwest and make it be good. =1f Mr. Brimmer has oil or gas lands, the products of which he desires brought to market, it would not rem to be sufficient cause for ousting a corporation Ike the Midwest, from the state, because it does not extend its pipelims to his dooryard, There are lots 6t enterprising off well developers who are in the seme fix. There is some argument from the dipoint of the large concerns holding back miatket' facilities to Prevent oil territories from being exhausted, as well as argument by independent producers that they ought td have the right to get to market with their product and get the money out of it. * The solution of the oil problem may he found in the very able article given the press by Mr. C, B Richardson of Casper, who says: “Encourage the building of one or more independent refineries under contract to take the state product as wel] as the prod- uct of independents at mid-continent prices.” * The difficulty is then ended, the price will be com- mensurate with the value of the crude and everybody will be much happier. > Wyoming can neither permit Mr. Brimmer to oust the Midwest from the state nor to wreck it. It is en- tirely too valuable an industry. BLS ee WANTS CASPER TO MAKE GOOD. The Lander Evening Post desires to know whether the people of Casper are simply “throwing bull” or whether they are serious in their protestations of neighborly regard and desire for co-operation: with communities within the zone of Casper's influence. Instances are cited in which Casper business men have declared in addresses made at public functions in Lander the need of close relations and the desire for a working agreement. In order to put Casper to the test, attention is called to the extraordinary wheat yield of the Lan- der valley this season, and in consequence the sur- plus of finished stock that will be stored at the Lan- der flour mills, a large share of which should be ab- sorbed by the people of Casper. «The Post assures Casper that the Lander products afe equal in quality and no greater in price than the Minneapolis and other products shipped long distances t Casper. It is made very plain that it {s not an appeal for charity, but simply directing attention to a business opportunity through which Casper canbe the bene- ficiary. Incidentally, attention is called to the liberal pa- tronage accorded Casper wholesale houses by Lander nyerchants. ¢'The Post is of the opinion that the time has arrived fér Casper to make good in the matter of reciprocity and redeem the fair pledges made over the coffee cpps. > WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE? iThe Casper police force is doing a little belated cleaning up. Yesterday a couple of the finest walked igto a cigar store, presented what purported to be a s¢arch warrant to a clerk, the proprietor being ab- sént at the time. The officers proceeded with ‘the séarch, presumably for liquor. They departed with- out having found the object of their search. {When inquiry was made by the cigar store proprie- tar, why his place of business had become an object of sispicion, he was informed by the police that it was all a mistake, the search warrant was for a near by — < HUMBLING OUR PRIDE. ‘Our good friend the Shoshoni Enterprise, seems to think Casper has no cause for pride in the number of hgotch emporiums in the business district of our fair city. That when we toot our horn to call attention to tle number, we are doing nothing that any other town ot city cannot do and show a proportionate number to size and population. This is the way the Eenterprise pulls us off our percheron: <“Tribune says Casper has i7 places where you can buy hootch. But you must remember that Casper is the biggest town in the state and the smaller places are doing just as well according to size. Casper has nothing to brag about.” ———— CAN YOU BEAT IT? afternoon an accident occurred at the Elks’ on South Center street. A workman fei from a scaffold and was dangerously. injured. Those present were unable to determine the extent of the man’s hurts. A bystander thought and acted quickly, He commandeered the first automobile that came along and transferred the helpless man to the hospital. On the way a valiant Casper policeman ar- rested the good Samaritan for speeding. Explans- tions did not avail. en er LET FREEDOM ROAR! Congressman Herrick of Oklahoma, who produces mammoth yellow corn and Hereford steers at home and in congress gives evidence of lineal descent from Balaam’s Ass is at it again. And this time the Phila- delphia Ledger tells about it: “Once more Representative Herrick of Oklahoma is back on the wearying and ofttimes unappreciated job of saving the nation. Following his highly instructive expose of how ‘beauty contests’ were obliterating the moral sense of the country, he bas now introduced a bill into congress which seeks to remove another blot from the hitherto unspoiled escutcheon of these United States. In resounding phrase he chastises those not sufficiently regenerate to understand and indorse his new contribution to public morality as “guilty of fos- tering and promoting idean treasonable to and in con- travention of the principles upon which the govern- ment of the United States is founded and maintained.’ “Mr, Herrick’s idea, in brief, is that.anyone who im- personates, or anyone who hires anyone else to im- personate, a king or a queen in any play, pageant or carnival should be subjected to a fine of not more than $10,000 and imprisonment of from ten to twenty vears. It is an excellent idea. Our only quarrel with it is that the penalties are too lenient. We should urge that when the bill gets into the committee of for- eign affairs, where, of course, it must go, it should be amended so as to provide death by boiling in oil for Old Brooms Used As Crutches Save Rawlins Herder fling the fallen leaves along the street. He would rum and make a noise with the dry leaves hopping about as if they really “Ouch, Oh, Mary! My foot, I stubbed my toe!” “It doesn't hurt enough for all that noise Bobbie; be i ble was on his knees looking for the he had stumbled upon. {te otated it was; as big as his fist, and of « n't though, son; now run peta at beautiful invender and green color. You have seen the way certain spots ‘on the sidewalk look, after a rain, haven't you? Lovely shades of laven- der and green and red, seeming to change everytime one moyes? Well that is the way the colors in Bobbie's stone changed. He would hold the stone one way, and see more lavender than green, in another way, he would see more green than lavender. All afternoon he played with that stons until his teacher threatened to take it way from him unless he tended to his lessons. “I guess this stone must be magte, like those I've read about” sald Bob- bie to himself,” I wonder if I cguld wish on it. Hocus, Pocus, dominoour shut your eyes for a tox wishing stone.” Bobble Then he closed his eyes very tightly. He waited and waited, but nothing happened. “Oh, I forgot to make a wish, no wonder.

Despondency was given as the reason for the attempted suicide. xvi casdee sremaa tae te Is Postponed By Grand Jury DENVER, Oct. 18.—Julge Ben B.

Van Cise. Slaughter Mania Of Insane Man Puts Him in Jail KEMMERER, Charles Barkdull of Star Valley, for- merly an inmate of a Utah sanitar. jum for the mentally unsound, tg -one-eleven the pseudo-kings, who invariably look so foolish as to deserve nothing less. As for the masquerading queens, we suggest the ordinary course of justice in»Amer- ican courta be confirmed by statute in their cases, namely, that those who are young and pretty go free with the thanks of the court and the jury, while those who are less young and less pretty go free without the aforesaid thanks. “With these changes made, we believe M>. Herrick’s bill will be well calculated to overcome a great na- tional evil. This procees of holding up to public no- tice as if thev were things to be admired and imitated the pomp and panoply of: the effete monarchies of Eu- rene has-no places among the free people of an en- lightened democracy. Out with it! Hereafter, when our people cannot restrain their childish and undig- nified desire to give a play. pageant or carnival, let them show a nice sense of the national honor by ex- alting in place of a king the figure that stands for the true expression of democratic ideals in action, a rep- resentative in congress. And we have no doubt that for the purpose of effecting this great national reform Mr. Herrick wonld be willing to impersonate a repre- ntative himself at as many plays, pagean nivals as he could find time to spare from duties in Washington.” AERIS Na St 2 ab THE TARES IN OUR WHEAT. “There were,” asserts the Portland Oregonian, “so it is told no English sparrows in this sweet land of liberty until some fatuous person carried a*pair or so of the cute little birdies across the broad Atlantic, Nor were there any Ford jokes until Henry built a car and bestowed his very Own name upon it. In this vein one is reminded that the German carp was not indigenous to our lakes and rivers, but was escorted overseas because someone thought it would be a fine thing to vary fried trout and baked bass with a dish of carp a la mud. The list of useless, not to say vexa- tious, bequests that have been thrust upon a patient tation is far too lengthy to enumerate. As some distraught cynic once soulfully petitioned, ‘Heaven save us from our well intending friends.’ “Having become to some extent inured to the fore- going, they no longer fire in us the homicidal mania, but this compliance with the inevitable need not in- vite experiment. It appears that there recently has been introduced into the southwest a European weed known to botanists as Tribulus Terrestris, which seems to translate freely into trouble enough for all. The seeds came in the fleece of imported sheep, and the character of this new claimant for toleration is portrayed in the common name accorded it. It is called the puncture plant. Its burs are armed with arp spines. Each bur splits into five sections and distributes three sections round about. Theyslie in wait for the careless foot or rolling tire—their spines as sharp as needles and as stiff as nails. There are certain sections of Arizona and California, it is said, where the puncture plant already has created a haze of profanity that at a distance is mistaken for a brush fire. “The puncture plant teaches us that there is some benefit, some definite gain, in a policy of splendid iso- wtion. We ought not forever to be trotting off to Europe or elsewhere for imported livestock and all that:sort of thing. We should be self-sufficient and rather superior, as it were. If any trotting is to be is onerous done, let them do it. By adopting the requisite air of erudition, carefully patterned after the Continental form, this might be brought to pass. Such a policy would not, of course, have spared us from the Ford joke. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. But it would have warded off at least the German carp, the Eng- lish sparrow, the San Jose scale, the plantain and many another affliction now firmly fastened on us.” Pre WONDERS OF THE INCOME TAX. If there is a man in all the broad domain of the United States of America, subject to the provisions of the income tax, who will stand forth and say to the world that he does not use profane language, mark him down a liar as well The Pioneer Press tells this one, which adds just one more to the wonders of this law and the way in which it operates: “Decoding and deciphering the present income tax law seems to require a terrifying amount of ponder- ous learning and hair-splitting discriminations on the part of Washington internal revenue officials. “For instance, there is the case of the officer of the United States navy. He requests that he be pezmit- ted to deduct from his income, depreciation in value of the uniforms and equipment owned by him, as an expense of doing business. His appeal is accompanied by a set of navy regulations which require that he possess the following sartorial embellishments as a condition precedent to being permitted to serve his country; special full dress, full dress, dress, evening full dress, evening dress, dinner dress, mess dress, un- dress and service dress uniform, Knowing that theat- rical folks are permitted to make deduction for the wear and tear on their costumes, this sintple-minded officer was of the opinion that the same rule ought to apply to those who engaged in the defense of the gepublic. “The internal revenue sharps, however, judged oth- erwise. With much show of learning they decided that ‘while there may be a certain analogy between theatri- cal costumes and naval uniforms, the latter seem to fall into the category of clothing ‘which may be worn’ upon occasions which are not of an official char- acter, such as weddings, army post and naval head- quarters, dances, receptions, etc.’ And because on such occasions the uniforms take the place of civilian dress no deduction for depreciation can be permitted. “All of which shows what a wonderful contraption the income tax law really is. There will be no permanent settlement until some- body removes the ire from Ireland and the dub from Dublin. in the Lincoln county jail here fol- lowing an expressed determination to eradicate tuberculosis from the valley by the comparatively simple expedient of killing all ceatures, hu- man and otherwise, he believed to be afflicted with the disease. His campaign of eradication had pro- ceeded only to the killing of one cow before he, was overpowered and taken into custody. SIX STACKS OF GRAIN DESTROYED BY BLAZE RIVERTON, Wyo,’ Oct. 18.—A min- jature forest fire on the south side of he river west Of Riverton destroyed six stacks of grain on the Charles Cole ranch before the blaze could be placed under control by bors and towns- people who were led on for assist. an Three stacks were saved but it 1s estimated that 1,500 bushels of grain was burned. ‘The reason Judge Lindsey did not appear was that the grand jury did convene today, Mx, Van Cise Bobbie wanted a pocket-knife like Ted Brown had, but mother would not allow him to have one because she thought he might whittle on the furniture. “I'm going to wish for a pocket-knife, so I am,” Bobbi thought.

Mother was sim- ply waiting for a time when Bobble should be good enough to attract at tention. before would give him the knife as a reward. Today, how- ever, Bobbie had not been into any mischief, because he had been so busy wishing that he didn’t have time. So mother decided to give: him his knife. She didn’t know about the wishing stone. “That {s.a fine stone mother.” as sure as anything, I got my wis! “Why Bobbie what are you talking about?” “My wishing-stone, mother. I wish- ed for a pocket-knife on my stone and here is the knife.
