The chamber will be glad to learn that it can now retire after several years’ arduous labor knowing that the water will be turned on day after tomorrow. No one would detract one iota of credit from Governor Carer pro- vided he did all that is claimed for him; but it is strange that his connection with a federal project looms so large now when it seemed so small up to this date. There must be a little political propaganda sifted through the matter somewhere. a “I Want to Give Service” ‘THAT headline is a sentence taken from a state- ment by the outstanding candidate for the Repub- lican nomination for governor of Wyoming. It is the measure of the man. Joux W. Hay’s life has been devoted to giving service. Whatever he has undertaken, he has under- taken seriously, with the idea of giving service. What was worth doing, he considered, was worth doing well, and invariably he did it well. . Now, in his prime, at the zenith of his ability to give intelligent, thorough, faithful Service, he is willing to serve the state of V . ais is the kind of man Wyoming needs—the kind that does not merely prate of service, but gives it— Lander Journal. nm becomes cne month —_—-0-—— Speaking of John \ THEN Jawn spouts off about the Teapot ask kim about Grass Creek.

JAwN bought a lot of cheap land, too.—Guernsey Gazette. The Teapot Simmering OMEBODY pushed a fresh stick of wood in the stove and the Teapot is simmering again. It is not likely to boil over. « | It is all occasioned by the starting of drilling operations by the Mutual Oil company on the naval reserve leased by the federal government to the Mammoth Oil company which is now in possession of the property with preparations going forward to drill a number of wells. The Mutual company, it is understood, is the drilling company for other parties, who may and may not have a claim to lease or who may have slept on their rights at the time of withdrawal of the reserve and at a later period when the lease was made to the Mammoth company, by failure to enter protest and assert the rights they may have had. ‘At best of at worst the whole affair is but a lease contest, which is the commonest thing there is in a rich oil territory. On the part of the contestants it is purely a mat- ter of sparring for position. Neither desires to be- come the plaintiff in a case before the courts but s to be the defendant should suit be each desi brought. The territory invaded or sought to be invaded is federal territory under the jurisdiction of the navy department, and unlike other federal territory un- der control of, say the interior, agricultural or other department of the governmént. Tf a military reservation was invaded it is quite likely a detach: ment of soldiers would be sent to remove the tres- passers. The present situation is similar. It is ng.val territory and readily explains the presence of marines to remove the alleged trespassers. It is quite natural for the navy department to pro- tect a lease made by it in good faith and maintain the lessee in peaceable possession. The claimants to any part of the reserve have a ready remedy in the courts where their rights can at any time be de- termined. In. fact, it is their only remedy. They will find themselves unable to enjoin naval officers from performing any action that may be ordered by superior officers. They might make an injune- tion against a federal marshal stick. It would be difficult to imagine the invasion of any rights the state has in Teapot Dome or any rights any citizen has, by sending United States marines to i sion, under lease to the Mammoth ¢ iy to property owned by the federal government and disposed of under acts of the congress for the benefit of the department hay- ing jurisdiction The rights of the state in royalty arising from production are safeguarded by the law and the terms of the lease. The state has no rights in the land.

Unless| \@ man can do this he is a manager no one will have and is a poor manager to hire in a larger capacity | where revenues are derived only from- assessments | upon the stockholders and dividends are not ac- jcounted for solely in cash. | Compare if you will, the showing of the two Re- publican candidates for governor, Jonx Har and} Rosert Carry. The former rose from a laborer} jin the ranks of transportation to the superintendent | jof division of a great railroad. He did it solely upon his own merits. He had no influential rela- |tives or friends to push him inte place. Then when |he had reached this station he concluded to”enter businegs for himself and went into live stock and farming. He was successful because he put energy, industry and intelligence into his business. Oppor- tunity came to branch out into banking. He im- proved it. Demand came for development of coal lands at Rock Springs and he found the capital to engage in the upbuilding of his home town and vi- cinity. His several concerns grew by careful and economical management until he is today one of the most important and successful business men in the state. It is true also that in the years of the building of his fortune he also established a | | | practice or unfairness to man, woman or child. His reputation throughout the state for iniegrity, fairness and consideration for others is known and recognized. Joun Har has done these things and built his own fortune and place in the state altogether by jhimself. Whatever he is or whatever he has is due to Jonn Har. | On the other hand, Roserr Carey was born with |a silver spoon in his mouth. From infancy to man- hood he got what he wanted merely for the asking. No effort of his was ever put forward to obtain the things he desired. He never battled the world in any ambition to rise. He never heard of struggle and poverty, the elements that enter into the for- mation of the character of American manhood. Ronext Carey has had no experience in life to fit him for the larger things and the lgrger parts real men are called upon to bear. His basic education in the affairs of life has not fitted him for sigh responsibility. He lacks poite and judgment. In fact, he has never grown up: He €be Casper Daily Cridune BACK TO THE WOODS—YOU BLOCK PROGRESS character upon which there is no stain of sharp | ternational peace by inspiring other nations to set-;tion with the Washington conference move: the tle their differences around the council table rather |South American republics to accept our offices as mediator and to hold their deliberations in this The latest example of this is the successful con-|country where each side felt it would have fair than on the field of battle. clusion of an arbitration conference between Chile | play. and Peru, held in the United States.

Politics at Wheatland The following item appeared in the Wheatland Times just as it appears below, It Is clearly a political adver- tisement for Carey for governor. HOW ABOUT COAL MINERS? Mr. Editor: When Join Hay was is guided by impulse. If he ever shows reason it comes from others. He has never made a real dollar in his life. He has never had to, it was always supplied without his personal effort. In his circumstances economy would be a vague theory out of books. He neyer had any contact with it. This is a brief outline of the two candidates. The question of fitness, of qualifications is settled with- out argument. Your own horse sense tells you which candidate you would select to conduct your private business and since the distinction between your private business and your public business is so slight whom will you select to manage any af- fairs in which you are concerned? The man who grew up with experience or the man who grew up without it? The choice is yours to make. Help’ yourself. Revival of Americanism HE INCOMING Republican administration found American diplomacy poor repute, The rights of the United States government were being delib- erately ignored and flouted in several quarters of the globe. The lives and property of its citizens were not safeguarded. The development of its for- eign commerce was seriously handicapped. The Paris peace conference gave to several powers “mandates” over certain territories and sections of the globe. These mandates were being exercised in an arbitrary manner, to the exclusion of American interests and to the jeopardy of our foreign com- merce and foreign investments. All those nations have been notified by this ad- ministration that the United States does not con- cede the power of any group of nations to enter an agreement whereby any of the sovereign rights of the United States are denied or curtailed or American’ citizens and American interests denied fair play and proper protection in their investments anywhere in the world. Our foreing policy, as it has been restored by the present administration, is in keeping with the splendid traditions of American statecraft of for- mer years before it had been devitalized by the in- ternationalism of the Wilson regime. True to that traditional American policy, this administration has constantly refused to become involved in the intrigue and politics of the old world. This does not signify that the United States is indifferent to the rest of the world. Quite the con- trary. It always played a leading part in interna- tional affairs; standing for fair dealing the world over, insistent upon its rights but demanding no privilege it was not willing to accord any other nation. This policy, so firm in its protection of American interests and yet so absolutely free from selfishness, inspired the confidence of all nations and made the United States honored and respected the world around. As a resuit of the re-assertion of the old-fashioned doctrine of Americanism, our country has resumed its former position in world affairs, the greatest international influence against that intrigue and double dealing which inevitably lead to interna- tional war. The Washington conference was a direct result of the foreign policy of the United States as enun- here Saturday and was introduced to me by lawyer Jacobson, his official escort, one of the first things he spoke of was the “awful lists of delinquent taxes” ‘all over the staté, and I won- dered how he would have prevented such lists if he had been governor. Would he have supplied a profitable market for our livestock and produce? Would he have supplied us with cheaper labor to make the cost of production less? Or would he have furnished us with money from the fortune he has accumulated from profiteering in coal and banking to pay our taxes? If he is so deeply interested in the poverty of the people, why does he not help out his several hundred cgal miners who have been idle for many months rather “than to accept the starvation wages that Hay and other coal barons are willing to pay? Mr. Hay should be better able to talk about the distressed condition of coal miners than of farmers, many of whom are unable to. pay the high rates of interest that his banks re- quire for farm Tans, which to many is a greater burden than state taxes. If he has so much sympathy for peo- ple who are hard up, why don't he begin to show it by setting his idle miners at work and pay them decent wages and then sell -his coal at a rea- sonable profit? When he does that I for one will take more stock in his concern for the rest of the people of the state. : Please publish this and send me the bill, but permit me to simply sign my name, A REPUBLICAN. Advertisement. The gentleman who signs “Repub- lican” lacks the nerve to sign his name to his article and the editor of the Times declined to publish any re- ply thereto by © gentleman willing to father his own sentiments over his name so the gentleman has asked The Tribune to publish the following statement. THE ANSWER. Wheatland, Wyo., Aug. 22, 1922. Editor of the Wheatland Times: I noticed an article in the last Wheatland Times signed Republican. Now I am and have been a Repub- ican a long time and have several times appeared in print but have never been ashamed to acknowledge that I was a Republican by signing my name. Mr., Republican says, “Would Hay have made farm labor cheaper so that the cost of produc- tion would have been less?” I think if Mr. Republican, whose article is marked advertisement, will compare wages paid farm laborers and wages paid coal miners he will not call miners’ wages starvation wages. I think any time that the miners will go to work, the present wages they can make is about six times ‘as musa ax farmers are paying farm hands, counting the time put in earning a day wages. If Mr. Republican had used Hay’s judgment and had just a little of his ability he would not now be paying so much high pried inter- est. He speaks of Mr. Hay as coal baron and banker. Why does he not give us his whole history? He too once was a farmer but left that and became a plain telegraph operator, but did not stay in the same notch ciated and put into practice by the present admin- istration. The influences exerted by the United} States in that conference for peaceful settlement of international differences not only bronght success as he advanced in that as well as all his undertakings as he climbed in that to the top round on the ladder. He became chief dispatcher, from that the superintendent of the U. P. W » it is difficult to determine. banker. Why does not Mr. Repub-| Mean tell us of his favorite Rober‘, Carey.

That lovely “emancipated” woman is rapidly attaining the level of the once so-called sterner sex, we have ample evidence on all sides. We see it everywhere and in every form, be- ginning with “the basket social graft- er'—the schoolma’m, who for her “personal expenses’ appropriates a percentage of the nickels brought in by her “kids” for ‘an orphans’ school —and culminating in the lady with the gun. Now, the writer ts not one of those opposed to woman's rights. Far from it, indeed. I concede to woman as many rights as could be showered upon her even by the most time- serving politician just. before election day. Let her smoke cigarettes, drink moonshine cocktails, and raise all of Adam's eldest son she pleases. A woman should have the right to make herself as disreputable as any gentle- man. But when it comes to taking human life with impunity—yes, and practical immunity as to penalty— that {s a different matter. Viewed from any standpoint of ethics, one thing is certain, the lady with the gun is a far too plentiful proposition in this era of piety and prohibition—an era with whose ad- vent, we were assured by the holy brothers and the plous sisters, crime of any kind would be but a memory. Furthermore, it is a universally rec- ognized fact that her tribe is increas- ing by leaps and bounds. ‘Trtuh is not always pleasant, but it would be an exasion of candor—per- haps moral cowardice—not to state that since the innovation of woman suffrage, a veritable reign of female lawlessness ths prevailed throughout the land. Whether this be an effect of the former or a mere coincidence, But that it is a fact admits of no controversy division end—from that -to] Returning. to the fundamental] theme, here are the facts, Smith: Ia some unlrep harbor a grudge against you—just!fiable or otherwise —you don't know when or where your friends will find you, a subject for the undertaker. But what is in real- ity the worst, ts yet to come— the damning of your character and the blackening of your name. Through the medium of a flock of hysterical journalistic scribes, mostly newspaper men in petticoats (beg pardon; mean “ludy" reporters, of course) the story cf what the injured innocent suffer- ed at your hands (cnd sometimes, lit- erally, at your feet) will be broad- casted from Dan to Bersheba in lurid and screaming verbiage. Of course, too, the artless creature gives her tale of woe in her own words. Poor little country maid! What she suffered! And henceforth, of course,” she'll be a veritable anyel. Already there are signs of her wings sprouting. Of course, if a married man, you had convinced the simple-minded maiden that, through the easy divorce Process, your wife would be quietly eliminated and the trusting young thing would take her place as queen of your household. But—hold on! We'll say a few words on the side ourselves, Smith, If your virtuous wife and mother of your children stood on her womanly dignity, and objected to being used as a discard. ed garment, she was lucky that she escaped being tho recipient of a bullet or two at the hands of the wanton, as has several times happened recent- ly, when a spirited woman refused to make way for some homicidal ad venturess. We'll say, Smith, that the murder. ous-minded damsel dealt with your own more or less precious person. The lady is on trial. The stage set- ting is good. Most likely there is in court a weeping gray-haired mother and a stricken father, with pe-haps a couple other members of the “highly respectable family to complete the tableau. Coached by some legal word artist, the fair defendant, with copious flares relates the story of her “wrongs"— a heartrending tale of course, and a masterpiece of construction, finished to perfection by repeated rehearsals, All that has appeared in the press re- garding your evil self, and a dozen times more, is narrated in open court. Not being there to defend yourself (dead men don’t often appear on the witness stand), you are painted as a moral leper, an all-round monster of iniquity and unspeakable bestiality being compared to which the fabled satan would be a Puritan gentleman, and an honorable member of society. As a climax, the frail creature col- lapses. Of course, seh 1s cheerfully eequit- ted. Perhaps she'll soon be in the movies.

Back at the camp they soaked the gelatine off the negatives and began to make their water tele- scope. They used boards eight inches wide and three feet long, making a sort of box. They fitted the edges together as closely as possible and then daubed the red lead along each crevice. To make doubly sure, Ted got some pine pitch and went over this, dried it at the fire and painted over it again with another coat of red lead. ‘The pany of glass was fitted easily without a giass cutter. Ned knew that trick. He tied a string around the glass exactly where he wanted it cut. ‘This string he had soaked in Pitch and kerosene mixed, then ho set fire to the string on both edges. It burned rapidly and as soon the string burned off he cracked the glass men of the female sex, and the fact that women are now our equal (back in Virginia we used to consider them our superiors). Tho lady crim- {nal still takes advantage of the an- cient deference to womanhood. But, in view of the facts just cited, It seems unreasonable that the female lawbreaker should receive any special consideration on that score. She does just the same. The lady with the gun {fs a danger- ous beast. Yet, the law, it seems, acts merely 2s an encouragement, if not a downright protection to the species. Therefore, it is about time that men would throw aside false chivalry and treat a few of the breed the same as any other murder- ers.

But for once step aside, Smith, and I'll advise you like a father. In the first place, better keep clear of sirens, es. pecially if you are a married man.
