If as Mr. Giblin and his friends assert, “A vote for Blackmore is a vote for Veitch,” would it not be equally logical that a vote for Giblin is a vote for Veitch?” This based upon the Giblin theory that him- self and Mr. Blackmore both represent the respect- able element. When a candidate solicits support from the underworld he no longer represents respectabil- ity, if he ever did, and this appears to be Mr. Gib- lin’s situation. Giblin and his camp followers need not engage in disparaging Mr. Veitch. If as claimed Mr. Veitch rep- resents extremely liberal ideas, he is at least honest in his attitude and as a citizen always has been of much higher value tothe city and county than Mr. Giblin who pretends all things to all men, and is true to no principle and no program. Far be it from the Giblin crowd to denominate Mr, Veitch and his sup- porters as “outlaws” as was done by the gentleman himself in a public address last Sunday. For state- ments and affidavits made by members of certain re- ligious bodies and victims of stock transactions come @angerously near placing somebody else in the cate- gory of “outlaws.” If Mr. Giblin-was sincere in his pretended concern for the public good and would save the city from fall- ing into the hands of “outlaws,” he would abandon his candidacy and in future devote his efforts toward averting the danger that he says threatens. * Mr. Giblin has no claim upon the people of Cas- per. He is a very recent comer. He possesses no qualifications that fit him for mayor of a city like Casper. The iob is entirely too big for him. #He more or less of an adventurer and a soldier of f tune. He absolutely failed to maintain harmony in a religious congregation which he undertook to in- struct and he would be entirely at sea and in con- stant turmoil in a political body that would look to him for guidance in directing the affairs of a congre- gation of twenty thousand members. sated lh ab las, NO RAILROAD STRIKE. There will be no rail strike. October 30 will come ‘nd go and trains will be running as usual. The lead- ers of the brotherhoods, switchmen, trainmen, con- ductors, engineers and firemen last night edopted joint resolutions withdrawing authorization for a walkout. The telegraphers will take similar action. These were the only unions that had authorized walk- out of their men. Wisdom has prevailed in the final hours of the ne- gotiations and the orders of the labor board will pre- ¥ail and be obeyed. + The country will take a long breath of relief. 4 Se ROTTEN. The insurance companies writing fire and theft in- ®urance on automobiles in Casper have come to the onclusion that it is utterly impossible to continue to write this class of insurance for the insuring public of €asper, and vicinity, unless there is an immediate horizontal increase over the rates now paid. According to the sheriff’s office, since September 1 there has been reported 38 cars as being stolen, of Which only 14 have been recovered, or 63 per cent of the cars stolen remain in the hands of the thieves. In other cities it is only about 25 per cent. It is to be regretted that the records of the sheriff’s office or the police department's office are incomplete, as the num- ber of unrecovered cars since January 1, 1921, would be astounding for a city of our size. At a meetiug recently held by representatiyes of nine. of the automobile writing companies—and it may be said that these companies write by far the majority of the cars in Casper and Natrona county— it was found that for the first nine months of 1921, the average loss ratio for these nine companies was 1£5 per cent of the insurance premiums written. This figure does not include the acquisition cost of the ‘business or the other expense incidental to. the busi- ness, such as taxes, supervision and adjustments. ‘When the loss ratio and the expense are added to- gether it will show that it is costing the insurance com- panies about 235 per cent of the premiums received for the pleasure of writing automobile business in (asper and vicinity. From all appearances it would seem that the au- thorities are either lax or extremely inefficient. Of the cars recovered, as a rule, they are found stripped on the outskirts of the city, with losses running from $150 to $400 per car. What. becomes of the tires, spotlights and motor meters that are stolen from these cars? Does anyone know? Another item that enters into the heavy losses is the attitude of some of the local garages. It seems to be their idea that whenever a car has been burned or stolen and there is some loss to the owner, the garage man Will make his bill for the cost of re- pairs out of all reason. To be specific, we have be- fore us, a certain local garage man’s bill for repairs to a car which was slightly burned amounting to $702. The adjuster for the insurance company was able to fonvince the assured that he had no such loss as this, and the assured accepted and was well satisfied with a ayment of $250. This is only one of the many of he same sort. In the old days of Wyoming if a man stole a horse he was either strung up to a tree or got life imprison- Ment if he was caught.

THE MOUNTED POLICE. “The relative newness of the vast empire of west-|. ern Canada,” observes the Detrojt Free Press, “is brought to attention strikingly by the news of the death in England of Sir Arthur French, K. C. M. G. who founded the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, known as the Royal Canadian Mounted. . “When the famous corps of red-coated rangers was established by Arthur French in 1873, sovereignty |- over the prairies had just been made over by the Hud- son Bay company to the government, the first step in the territory’s transformation from hunting ground to world granary. The mounted police were the first ad- ministrative feelers put out by the government and for years represented the law’s authority to the woods- men and courriers-de-bois, the Indian trappers and white adventurers of the northwest. “The distinguished record of the ‘Scarlet Riders’ is a@ source of pride to Canadians. Its earnest fearless control of the lawless elements of the rude frontier was a leading factor in its rapid development. The mounted officers preserved order, administered jus- tice and safeguarded the settlers to such good point that pioneering was made less hazardous, to the end that the sparsely-settled regions were filled readily. The officers, never numerous but always effective, did good work in the Riel rebellion, the Fenian raids and the various Indian uprisings that molested the se- curity of the early institutions. , “The traditions of the service are carefully pre- served, in the spirit of the present personnel, and in a wider sense by novelists and scenario writers who ve dwelt profusely on its romantic exploits.
