Kidding Another Governor Out of the governor’s conference at the White House on the enforcement of the Volstead act, more situations than the one precipitated by Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, have arisen. Governor Smith of New York made an equally bad break when he promised that New York city would continue to assist the federal authorities in the enforcement of the Volstead law. Instantly New York people arose to ask by what authority has the governor made such promise. They reason that if he has lawful an- thori p the services of the police in New York ¢ y did he con- fine the promise to that city alone? And if the governor has the right to tender the services of the police for federal enforcement, why has he not the right to tender all the other state on cies of law enforcement for ix 1 And if this right exists, why do he not exercise it? f 4 It is submitted that these are fair questions because they inyolve the fundamental and more important question whether the co-ordinate sys- tem of government has been abolished over night, so that not merely one federal law but all fed eral laws are enforceable by the 8: which have thus lost their covereignty and become subordinate departments of the fed ment; for it is obvious that if the tion on the s obligation must arise from grounds that make the enforcement of all other federal acts com- pulsory, and that in consequence all state law en- forcing agencies are fi ral in other words, that the states as independent entities in their own domains have ceased to exist. On the other hand, if state sovereignity not thus been abolished, whence does a go’ derive the right to charge a part, part, of the state w-enforcing neies with the duties of enforcing one, and only eral law, or where the federal government ob- tained the right to commandeer the services of state agencies for that purpose or any purpose without compensation? Industry and Agriculture The policy of hand-to-mouth buying is in evi- dence in practically every line. This is urally reflected in a superficially unsatisfactory situ- ation as measured by the volume of forward or ders, and consequent disappointment on the fied only when boom rturing activity ney- ertheless continues at a healthy rate. That this must be so is indicated not only by dat to production of finished goods and consumption of raw materials, but by the fact that there is| relatively little unemployment, although the sea sonal peak of labor requirements for construc. tion and agriculture has passed. The leading steel interest is operating at near- ly 90 per cent of capacity and the rate of oper tion for the industry as a whole per cent. Deliveries are being m mptly, and forward orders represent actual needs. Or. ders for railroad requirements may from now on be expected to show .a seasonal increase and should be satisfactory even though they do not reach the great volume of last season. A marked advance in the price of wheat has afforded much ground for encouragement in the wheat growing sections. It is to be hoped that this has not affected the tendency toward de- ‘reased acreage, The price of hogs has declined the courts and the jails; nd only a| somewhat under pressure of heavy deliveries, but it is fairly satisfactory to producers of the jbetter qualities. Prices of ‘cattle and lambs are also quite good, compared to the levels of several months ago. It is not unlikely that the quality of the corn crop has been materially lowered in some local- ities by frosts but on the whole the crop is good. Although the cotton crop is disappointing from ers are being recouped by the high price. The po- sition of the farmers of the country as a whole is unquestionably improved. Henry Is Rarin’ Simultaneously with writing a letter to the ry of state for Nebraska tacitly admit- ting his presidential candidacy, Henry Ford made public a venomous attack on John W. | Weeks, secertary of war, in connection with the | Muscle Shoals proposition. That this was a bid jfor the farmers is obvious. Henry offered to jbuy for $5,000,000 a property which had cost the government $102,000,000. And he said he would make fertilizers there, said he would demon- Strate that they could be sold far. more cheaply than now. But the wouldn’t contract to make |fertilizers there and thus far congress has re- fused to sell him the government property for less than five cents on the dollar. The Muscle Shoals property, when the Wilson jdam is finished, will be a complete plant with cheap water power. Under the stress of war, however, the government could not wait for the |water power so it erected, on the property of the bama Power company a steam plant for im- mediate use, giving that company an option to buy or have the plant removed ‘after the war. | With the option expiring, the Alabama company offered to buy it for 00,000 and Secretary Weeks sold it for t sum. Henry himself says the Muscle Shoals plant is “complete” without the steam plant, but he attacks the honesty of Mr. Weeks because he sold the little steam plant sold it for 70 per cent of what Henry was ; Willing to pay for the whole—a pretty good bar- gain from the standpoint of the taxpay Sverybody who knows John Weeks knows he an absolutely honest man, However, it all es good advertising for Henry and his fliy- vers. Henry can have the complete Muscle plant if he will bind himself, or his heirs, to make fertilizer there, but congress objects to taking his word in so important a matter— and too, Henry might die. And then how about his heirs and fellow stockholders? Henry has of- fered no contract binding them. Prices and Consumption Whether or not the ity present productive ca- of the manufactur industries of the States is in excess of current domestic consumption, supplemented by such export de- mand as may be expected will depend on the re- lationship of prices of finished goods to-other rices. The present period is not one of depres- sion. It is a period of adjustment, with business seeking to find the point of maximum consump- tion, which necessarily must be at price levels that do not curtail the consumption of large classes of the population. There is evidence that the leaders of the manu- facturing, financial and merchandising commu- nit ure dealing with the situation with wis- dom and skill, The great need is that leaders of labor should handle their problems with equal understanding. Inc sing unemployment would be the inevitable corollary to reduced consump- tdon resulting from advancing pri In last an- aly the international market governs prices uy products. Most agricultural prices are directly determined there. While United States exports of manufactures are not large in rela- tion to total output, they are important from the standpoint of profits and of full employ- nent. If production costs push prices too far Guenther. the river eastward, have never been recovered. and friends to bear in his passing. In that ill-fated night Mr. Guenther was in Casper. He was at his best. His health had greatly improved over its previous condi- tion which had marked a rather slow recovery from an automobile accident in 1918. Before taking the train that carried him to his death, he held quite a reception in the hotel lobby. He was greeted by many Casper friends whose last recollection of him will be of the pleasantest character. The jovial, cheerful Charley Guenther they had known ard loved so long. Within the hour he had passed to his re ward. The people of Douglas and the state of Wyoming have now had time to realize the great loss we have all sustained by the untimel death of a citizen of Mr. Guenther's quality. Such men are not numer- ous in the generations that come upon the earth, We prize them while they are here, it is true, but it seems we cannot keep them with us, as We would. and their going only teaches us anew the insecurity of human life. It is highly appropriate and fitting that his old friends and neighbors gather today to respect his memory. He had an eventful and useful life. He did a splendid work while on earth. And today there will be 29 lack of appreciation, of his merits among those who will honor his memory. Charles A. Guenther was born in Bisbee, Arizona, November 23, 1883, but when still a boy moved with his ‘amily to Pennsylvania where he re- ceived his early education. On Octo- ber 26, 1910, he was united in mar- riage to Miss Violet Smith of Du- luth, Minn., and to this union three children were born, all of whom sur- vive him, They are two daughters, Virginia and Dorothy, and one son, Robert. In early life Mr. Guenther was sent to England as a mining en- gineer. It was during the Boer war. He enlisted under the British flag and served throughout that contest. After an honorable discharge he re- turned to Arizona and took up the work he had laid down at the time HOUSE MOVING We are equipped to move build. ings—large or small; guarantee our work JONES & JACKSON Phone 2494W above the international level, the American ex- porter will have a poor chance in the internat- ional market, a further factor tending toward unemployment. Who Are They? In announcing his candidacy for the United States senate in South Dakota, Governor Me- ter assures a palpitating universe that if d he will align himself with those sena- rights of the people.” Now if the governor is about to do a thing like th if his own people do not inquire it seems perfectly proper for some one outside of ‘outh Dakota to ask the prospective senator to identify the noble senators with whom he pro- poses to stand. it is, if any such there he and if no one has been kid ig the governor. Also wh on the subject of United States Senators, y it, or was it not Governor Me- ster, who caused a flurry in gasoline awhile back ‘in the commonwealth of South Dakota? And was that flurry solely in aid of the driv ers of flivvers or did it have a bearing upon the governor's ambition to stand with senators en- of the people from encroachment by some im- aginary predatory power? : Things Moving The past week has been marked by a series jot presidential plays and counter-plays which have rather overshadowed all - other devele p- ments, Henry Ford has consented to be a candidate, thus throwing consternation into the ranks of Republicans and Democrats alike—not because any experienced politician believes Henry can be elected, but because none can foresee thing but confusion worse confounded as sult of his running on a third ticket. 1 fford Pinchot has cast his chapean into the ring with a mock Roo: eltian gesture. Henry Allen of Kansas has given the Pinchot bonnet a vigorous western kick, And William G. McAdoo has se- lected Judge David L. Rockwell of Ohio, who floor manager for Cox at San Francisco, as the McAdoo manager. Meanwhile Mr. Coolidge like Brer Rabbit, “keeps sayin nothing’. Playing No Favorites When American prohibitionists offered the shopkeepers of Scotland free paper bags with dry propaganda printed thereon, the of. f of course was accepted. That was Scotch canniness. Then when the anti-prohibitionists |proposed to print their propaganda on the other jside of the bags, that offer was accepted too. This probably was Scotch sentiment. At all ‘events, a merry war of propaganda is’ being car. {ried on by means of the parcels in which the housewife takes home her tea or the good man his bottle. | Scotland votes on the dry question next month, It can’t be much of an issue in Scotland, how- ever.

Mr. Guenther came to Douglas in the summer of 1917. He organized the Safe Investment Oil company. Later was one of the organizers uf Mike Henry Oil company, both of which were closed but to othe~ capitalists. Later he organized. the Derrick Oil company, and was its general manager at the time of his death. This, in brief, is his business career since coming to Wyoming. Notwithstanding the fact that his business affairs called for most of his waking hours he took time for every local clvic activity and was a leader in all works for the good of Douglas and for the state. He never evaded a duty, private or public He was an ardent Republican in politics and the treasurer of the state committee at the time he died. The actual loss of Charles A. Guenther and what it means to his home city and the state becomes more and more apparent as time passes. There is scarcely a day that he is not needed in one capa- city or another, to add a touch of smoothness to the running of af- fairs or to give a kind word or a helping hand to some brother on life's journey.
