it was said that the British government was SYN.
pathetically n-on-committaP on the subject. Now
comes the report of a positive refusal to son sider il.
ut is an attitude which is not Likely 60 cause
surprise. On the contrary, it would have been sur
prising had the decision been otherwise. The three
mile rule is of long standing. Great Britain has
vigorously upheld il in the past. 1t is recalled that
ten years ago the British government emphatically
objected TO Russias attempt TO search inbound YES
sells anywhere within twelve miles of shore from
Vladivostok. 1t is also recalled, to be sure, that
more than one hundred years ago the American gov.
eminent passed a law designed 10 permit the search
of inbound vessels within ten miles of shore, and
IL does not appear that England ever made protest
against it, but we could hardly get far in an argu.
ment concerning conditions today because of failure
to register objection TO 2 musty statute of a century
ago. However, it does not follow that England will
in all ways refuse her assistance in our efforts TO
make prohibition prohibit. She may be willing to
take action to prevent craft sailing from her ports
carrying with them two sets of clearance papers for
the purpose of deceiving the American authorities.
Prospect of help in this particular may cheer the
hearts of the prohibition brethren.
apart from its bearing oil the campaign TO make
America dry, consj ~ieration of the three-mile rule
raises question whether it should not be revised to
conform to modern conditions. 1t had its origin
in the days when a distance of three miles was the
limit of artillery fire. 1t came into being before
steam was applied to ocean navigation, and before
the internal combustion engine had given the speed
of express trains to small craft, %skimming over the
surface of the sea, not to mention the flying boat.
Today, with these new methods of rapid transit on
or above the water, the foreign ship which comes
unchallenged to within three miles of shore is often
in almost as favorable a condition for landing goods
as if she were actually at anchor in a harbor. Per
.haps the time will come when these matters will be
made subject of discussion by maritime nations.
But it is altogether probable that efforts to amend
the three mile rule in order to assint prohibition
enforcement agents in their work are not likely to
be Immediately successful"

What l Don't Like About

These neishbors have a habit of "lim-

throttle and racing the engine by
spasms. Mufflers are usually left
open at such time. although a city

History Repeats

7 EFT Us GO BACK In state history for twelve
IL years and see how it repeats. Let us take for
instance an appeal to the electors of Wyoming by
the elder CAREY, JOSEPH NJ, father of the present
governor, and examine into the things he complained
of and see how many of the anne errors, the hope
full ROBERT has fallen into, assuming for the mo-
ment JOSEPH corrected all the faults in his four
year term as governor, 1911 to 1915.
JOSEPH said that Wyoming taxation was unfair
and growing worse. The small property owner was
paying an excessive proportion. That state appro-
priations were increasing at an alarming rate and
tax levies were growing by leaps and bounds.
Moreover, state expenses had doubled in a single
ADMINISTRATION. He desired to know why the in
crease, ard in capital letters demanded to know
what became of the money.
Other pertinent inquiries made by JOSEPH in his
famous document of 1910, were, what state insti-
buttons had been constructed and how much had
been expended for good roads.
He complained bitterly at the increase Of sal
aries of state officers, and inquired of the beloved
taxpayers If the income of any of them had been
rorrespondingly increased.
He rallied upon this point, and this is his ex-
act language, Offices have been created and jobs
provided for machine servers to pay political
debts
Again and also, JOSEPH was sore because as he
said, estate money has been used to pay private
expenses and to crafty luxurious tastes of Office
holders when travelling outside the state, and the
people have had to pay the bills"
JOSEPH grew pink in the face with Indignation as
he told the dear people that contracts have been
let to those who had an understanding" not to
the lowest bidders"
Picture, if you can, the wrath of JOSEPH when he
informed the people of this outrage, machine IA
vorites have been placed in Office, only to exhaust
appropriations"
The cap sheaf in JosEPH's garnering, the straw
that injured the camel's back, if the smile is adj
MISSILE, was when he shot this one at the dear
people, 'EThe settlement of the state and the devel-
opment of industries are seriously retarded and
every elector is being injured by unreasonable and
burdensome taxation"
If the elder CAREY will hunt up a copy of this bill
of particulars and present it to the younger CAREY,
ii will be found to be as severe an arraignment of
RoBERTs administration, just as it stands, as the
most radical complainant could frame in words.
The things that tobogganed JOSEPH into office have
come back to toboggan ROBERT out of office.
Yea, verify, no former governor has anything on
ROBERT. He has gone them all one better in state
expense, taxation and increase in spending money.

The Triunphs of Tyrus

SMERE TWENTY we're twenty, who says we
w are more?" shouts that jubilant, perennially
youthful TYRUs RAYMOND CoBB, as he whangs his
way to the batting leadership Of professional baee-
ball. exults the New York Herald.
with a percentage of 40 the Georgia Peach, in
his eighteenth year in the American league, is bat
ting harder than he did in fifteen seasons of his il
lustrious career on the diamond. In 1910 he at.
tanned his pinnacle with an average of 400 and the
following season saw him bat for 40.
"In 1922 he promises to Guido himself, and that
at the age of 36, which in baseball is equivalent to
Sc in nearly every other walk of life. In law, in
in medicine, a man of Sc is in his prime.
But a professional baseball expert at SS is as rare
as a famous surgeon at 20. Life in the major
leagues is intense, competition is keen, careers must
be jammed into half a decade. A player who has
been in the highest company for ten years is called
en- old man, a creaky iointed veteran.
"And here's CoBB at SO setting a merry pace and
still defying time. Clean living, supreme confidence,
a fine sense of humor and sportsmanlike aggressive
ness are the qualities which have made COBB the
outstanding figure he has been these many years.
In defeat as well as in victory he carries his IA
nous smile and an unquenchable spirit. His ag.
gressiveness is not of the offensive, obtruding kind.
He really hasn't an enemy in all the grandstands
and bleachers of the American league. for the very
fans who are loudest in their uncomplimentary re-
marks about TY in the heat of battle are even
louder in their praise of him when the contest is
over. Baseball is indeed fortunate in it's posses
sion of a luminary like COBB.
"CoBB has not only climbed to the top in battinn
but achieved a notable success as a manager this
season. Last winter critics predicted his resigna-
as leader of the Detroits before July 4. But
here he is entering August with his Tigers among
the first four"

Interested Alright

THE Wheatland Times, in speaking of the Hay
L meeting at wheatland on Saturday, July 10
said, "Mor than half the audience were Democrats
who are taking an unusual interest in the guber
material race"
You are right, we agree with you. Take some
of the members of the state highway board, for in
stance: we'll say they're interested.
The above quotation from the Times is the bunk
as an argument for Governor CAREY, but it is as
good as the "brass tacks," or the 'eventually-why
net now stuff.

from her lips anent the virtues OF
consuming a suitable quantity of "Bes-
sic Spinach" sally CaulifiOwer. ''
Jennie Asparagus" and other edibles,
with all of whom the fairy was ap-
parently on first name terms.
AS every proper fairy should. this
one had gauZe wings: she also had a
wand and pink and blue chiffon drap-
cries and she flew about the stage and
told the children a lot of useful things
about acquiring strong constitutions
and rude health. 1t is said that the
fairy. who is sometimes called Miss
Raymond, spends her time doing no
thing but floating around talking about
the noble qualities of these vegetables
and fruits she's so intimate with. The
children certainly liked her and
should be grateful TO Mrs. Charles
Ware. School Attendance Officer.
through whose efforts the fairy was
induced to include Annapolis in her
fights. and to Philip Miller. who pro-
vided suitable landing place for her
by loaning the Republic Theatre for
the performance.
