The Better Day Before the day of the large industry and “dig business,” manufacturing plants were small and the forces employed were small. They were large- ly family affairs, that is the owners of the busi- ness and the men who worked for them were thor oughly well acquainted. They worked side by side and therefore became associates both in daily toil and in the hours of freedom from toil. With the coming of the mammoth industrial con- cerns of the later period and the complexities they brought with them, the owners of the business and the men drifted apart and knew litlte of each other. Then came the brutality of the steel age when men who worked were driven to the last ounce of endurance in the rivalries and competition of the great captains of industry. It was slavery and re- bellion came and bloodshed. Another era came in the grouping of individual competing plants into one centrally admistered in- dustry, abolishing waste and performing wonders in economy, stabalizing price and diversifying out- Better order and success ensued under this regime. Still, those who worked and those who owned were far apart. They did not know each other. The workers associated together and their unions became strong. The owners and directors mixed only with themselves with the bosses of departments as the buffers. And thus it went. Questions and differences arising, they were fought out by main bull-strength and awkwardness. There was neither profit nor nourishment in this. Only misery and increased ill-feeling. Came another day, a day of awakening. A day of realization of whither they were drifting. And in that day employers of men discovered that they were not machines. That they were valuable, and that the great institutions could not operate a day without them, and further that efficiency could only be secured by many reforms on the part of those who employed. From that day on things have improved for em- ployers, employes and the business. The owners discovered all over again what their ancestors had known and practiced. A business or industry never reached such proportions in magnitude that the owners and directors could not work side by side with the men who w sustaining the character and prestige of the institution and work also un- andingly and in harmony. Some of the philosophy of an older day filtered through and then began the new order, when cor- porations began to look more to the welfare of the men who work, their housing, their physical well- being, their recreation, their education both gen- eral and technical. The family idea has returned with hundreds of the biggest and best corporations in the country. It is exemplified in the big indus- trial corporations in Casper, both at the plants and in the field camps. The spirit of humanity is growing and expanding with each successive year. Christian names are being used in relations tween the men and the bosses. Facilities are pro- vided by the corporations for the men who work, never dreatsed of in the older and unhappier day. Corporations are growing bigger and better and put. more considerate, the men are growing more satis | tied and contented. Both have learned that the new- | er and friendlier relations pay greater dividends | to both parties. It Is the Law The attitude of the departments of state and jus- tice on the question of the “dry ruling” as applied to foreign ships in American waters, has been pro ive of wide discussion both in our own coun- try and in the other maritime powers of the world. There can be but two essential points that apply to the question and most disputants will agree that they are First, is the eighteenth amendment the law of the United States of America? Second, does the phrase “the territory of the United States” as used in the eighteenth amend- ment apply to our harbors and littoral waters? The plain answer to these questions can only be “it is” and “it does.” fm International law, so called, since there exists no such thir a definite code of laws governing all the nations of the world which they all recog nize as binding, those principles which are uni- versally accepted and which have been incorporated as part of our national laws, have thus become the governing law of our nation. The law applying to| the “three mile limit’ ’is a case in point. This law id down by Wheaton reads: “The maritime territory of every state extends to the distance of a marine league or as far as a cannon shot will reach from the shore, along all the coasts of the state Then that emininet American authority, John SJassett Moore says: “As a general rule the jurisdiction of a nation is exclusive ¢ absol\te within its own territories of which harbors and littoral waters are as clearly part as the land Inasmuch as our law forbid the presence of liquor within our territory, the existence of liquor within our littoral waters—that is our harbors or inside the three mile limit— even though carried in ships subject to foreign jurisdiction, is in dis- tinct violation of our law by means of which the American people, in the words of the supreme court | of the United States have expressed their intent | “to do away with the whole business.” Meaning liquor. The West Invades the East Down in New York western cowboys and cowgirls dreamed of by athletes of that crowded center.! The exhibition is essentially western and there-; fore entirely new to ninety per cent of the specta- tors. Newspapers are devoting an increasing amount of space to the show and even the editorial pages of the leading journals are not void of com- ment on the prowess of our boys and girls from the range and the ranches, as witness this from the New York World: “It is something heartening in this day of mil- lion-dollar bruisers to find a gallant company of men and women offering physical prowess, mental dexterity and raw courage for the sake of offer- ing. The western riders who opened the rodeo at Yankee stadium are possessed of so strange a view- point that they can hardly expect to be understood by the New Yorker who follows sport. They may be adept at riding and bull-dogging, but they are curiously inept in modern methods of winning glory. “For one thing, the cowboy is too contemptuous of his own attainments. If one of them purposes to bull-dog a steer and possibly spend the next four weeks in a hospital reflecting upon some mis- take in tactics, he makes no great hullabaloo over his task. No $300,000 guarantee is posted, no long conferences are held before signing a contract, no defiances, evasions, explanations. The public does- not care for his sport to a great extent because he makes little money out of it. “Tt has been an axiom since Emerson that if you can build a bigger megaphone or hire a better press agent the world will make a beaten path to your door. Cowboys need a megaphone and a press agent badly. They need a campaign for public recognition of the eowboy as the artist among sports. Possibly he should wirte his experience for the sporting page, beginning with a reason for his not bull-dogging any steers this year, and concluding | Peabody Coal company. fhe Casper Dailp Cribune ; Barber Visits Sheridan| SHERIDAN.—H. 0, Barber of Lander and Guy Robertson of Popo-| sia, who were visitors in Sheridan,| stone Park Sunday morning, return- ing over the Big Horn mountains from Buffalo through Tensleep Canyon. Mr. Barber is one of the pubito- spirited men of the state who has| not hesitated to invest his money in those things which have been for the good of the state, and especially the Lander vicinity. He is president of the Poposia Coal company with mines at Hudson, and the builder of the Hotel Noble at Lander, which has no equal in the state outside the Plains at Cheyenne. i} Among the latest enterprises in which he has become engaged {s the organization of a transportation com-| Pany and co-operation with the of- ficials of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad in transporting the pas- sengers of that road into the park. Mr. Barber is also responsible for the building of two inns which accom- modate the passengers enroute. Two-Gwo-Tee Inn is located close to the divide in the Wind River moun- tains on the shores of Brooks lake, while Emoretta Inn is on the bench just above Moran, overlooking Jack- son lake. Both these mountain re- sorts are built of logs with the bark removed, and many smaller cabins have been built of logs for sleeping rooms. Mr. Barber is planning additions to the resorts, which have been taxed to the Hmit this season. While in this vicinity he visited both the Eaton and HF Bar dude ranches. Mr. Rob- ertson is superintendent of the prop- erties of the Poposia Coal company. Both men visited at the mines of the Mr. Barber is a prominent Republican of the state and on different occasions has refused the invitation of friends to become a candidate for a state office. a os Teton County Roads with a promise to ride a bucking horse next July 4 for $1,000,000,000 at ringside.” One Reason Profiteering and dishonest speculation and man- ipulation is one cause of the great spread between {the prices which the farmers receive for their products and those which the ultimate consumer pays for the same. This is just as true of the dcal- ers in farm produce as it is of the importers and dealers in foreign merchandise whose outrageous profits have been so often exposed. You will recall the incident of the speculators purchasing large quantities of potatoes and dump- ing them into the Mississippi river in order to cre- ate a shortage and an excuse for advancing the price. And the other speculators who bought entire fields of potatoes and permitted them to rot in the| ground, the purpose being the same. This deals with one vegetable and one scheme. An example of a very extensive practice of creating an arti- ficial shortage to unduly enhance prices. What about the car load after car load of mel- ons permitted to stand on side tracks and kept from market to create shortage and high prices. To destroy, damage or hoard any kind of food for the purpose of creating an artificial shortage and to increase prices is a crime. If it is not a statu- tory crime, it is an economic crime, and it should be made a crime by statutory enactment. Every such speculator should be punished, for such acts lead to a great deal of suffering, especially among the poorer classes. Dealers are entitled to derive a profit from their transactions, but they should do so by more honorable means, It is the aim of all to aequire wealth, but the profiteer and the destroyer of food products for the purpose of gain is no more honorable than the highway robber or the man who blows open a safe. The ‘Trend Toward Consolidation Bank employes are unionizing. Employes in steel, building trades, mining, railroading and most of the other basic industries are already unionized. Farmers are striving to form, and in some measure have already formed quasi-unions, variously known as “co-operative associations” and the like. Cap- italists are supposed to have acted in concert for generations. Investors have, in some sense, union- ized—certainly in the railroad field and not un- truly in other directions. Legislators have welded themselves into blocs. The theatrical profession is substantially under union domination. The bar association has long been the dictator of legal ethics. The medical profession has its central au- thority. Voters express themselves through what is one of the most powerful unions and might be proved one of the most baneful monopolies in the world—the political party. And so on down the list—permeating every field of modern activity influencing every phase of nat- ional and international life—this tendency toward consolidating all special objectives and massing forces progresses. And with its progression, we can see slowly ex- pions the nobility of what used to be the individ ual. Harding's Creed To safeguard America first, To stabilize America first, To prosper America first, To think America first; To exalt America first, To live for and revere America first. Call it the selfishness of nationality if you will, I think it an inspiration of patriotic devotion. We may do more than prove exemplars to the JACKSON.—Hoback Canyon, Teton county. In addition to previous allot- ments, all of which have not been expended, $28,000 from Forest High- way funds has been approved for completion of certain sections be- tween Cheney and the “Rim.” It is expected that the funds now avail able will permit of the completion of the entire project to the original standard, and of some sections such as that along Snake River, to the new standard of 16 foot roadway. The Canyon section along the Hoback will require widening to the 16 foot width @s soon as funds permit. Cheney to Jackson, Teton county. To this project, approximately six miles in length, has been allotted $40,- 000, aud it is expected that construc- tion on this will be well advanced during this working season.

SEEEEEEEieeEEE Visits Buffalo BUFFALO.—Dr. Grace Raymond Hebard, who was formerly a member of the faculty of the University of Wyoming, was a Buffalo visitor the first of the week in consultation with Mrs. J. C. Van Dyke about historical matters in connection with the old Bozeman Trail. Miss Hebard ts at present secretary of the Bozeman Tra{l association, whose purpose it is to perpetuate the memory of the old trail. The association ts placing markers along the way in prominent points and !t was about placing these markers that she was in our city. The old trail crossed Clear Creek at the location of the Canterbury ranch, and thence down along the Red Hill to Trabing. Miss Hebsrd was also in consultation with James Gallup in regard to the associations’ affairs and gathering data from him. Se ee Cherry Creek Bridge SHAWNEE. — Wednesday morning the big trucks of Fred Kettler, with a gang of men, started loading and hauling the big timbers to be used in the construction of the bridge across Cherry creek. The work will be pushed es fast possible. It is stated that the oll companies in the Lance Creek fleld will build a bridge across Lance Creek. When these two bridges are com- pleted the road between Manville and the oil flelds will be put in first class shape, it will then be passable for travel and hauling during all seasons of the year, Nine Mile Fair BUFFALO.—Preparations ere being made by the hustling community of Nine-Mile ‘for their annual fair, which will be held this year September 6. The fair will be held at the John Gil- bert farm one fourth mile east of the Nine-Mile school house. A big picnic dinner will be on the program for the day, as well as ed- dresses by prominent Wyomingites. As usual the fair will consist of horticultural exhibits of all kinds and will mean another great get-together meeting of this great farming com- munity, The fair last year proved to be a splendid one, some of the ex- hibits taking first prizes at the state fair. ' To Protect Depositors BAGGS.—The Snake River valley experienced a very severe financial loss when the Stockgrowers’ Bank of: Dixon failed to open its doors tor| business Monday morning. The clos- ing of the bank was voluntary upon the part of the directors, the step| being taken to protect the depositors Heavy cattle loans which the bank) made just prior to the big slump in_ that industry Is the direct cause of the failure. The cattle market per-| sisting in remaining at a rock bottom! figure has made it {fmpossible for those who bought the cattle to realize much more than half on their un- fortunate investments and coupled with two very severe winters were un- able to meet their notes when they fell due at the bank.

YOU NEED GOOD TIRES city pavements improved enable @bodyear Cord Tires to There is powerful, slipless traction in the famous All-Weather Tread for any road —or lack of road. The Goodyear sidewall of exceptionally tough stock offers stubborn resistance alike to rut wear and curb wear. And beneath both tread and sidewall there is that stout-bodied carcass of long- staple cotton, with the cords laid in alter- nate groups of plies to minimize friction and support good wear. These are the special advantages of the new Cord Tire with the beveled All-Weather Tread. They are the reliable source of great mileage at low cost per mile. 4s Goodyear Service Station Dealers we sell Tires and back Casper Buick Co. Schulte Hardware Co.
