The Frontier Disaster

The mine explosion at Frontier, near Kemmerer,
in which a hundred miners lost their lives, is the
first disaster of any considerable consequence to
occur in a number of years. While accidents can
not be forseen the development Of safety programs
and appliances by operators and the precautions
required by law have gone a great way toward max
ing a hazardous occupation comparatively safe.
The disaster is one of horror to the entire state,
and one from which the immediate district will be
a long time recovering. Many of the men who had
their lives snuffed out without even a fighting
chance to save themselves were among the best
citizens of Lincoln county, the heads of splendid
families of boys and girls.
Compensation which is a godsend and a wise pro
vision of law is of little comfor at the moment, to
the bereaved families, with husbands, fathers and
brothers gone beyond recall.
The people of Kemmerer and Frontier have the
sympathy of the entire state in the great sorrow
that has overtaken them.
The exact cause of the explosion has not been de-
termined, although several theories have been ad-
vanced any one of which could have easily caused
the disaster.

the fire never went out on the hearth Of the living
room And it was a living room literally. The
old crane still hangs in the fireplace with a three
legged iron kettle hanging from it Beside it is the
brick oven Hand wrought andirons still stand in
the old fireplace which in recent years has been
covered with a metal screen, for it is disused.
Wood is too scarce and too costly to feed such a
fireplace in a New England winter. Time was when
men burned great quantities of wood in order to
clear the land. But the situation has. long since
changed.
In the old days families made it a matter of prin-
ciple and of pride to keep an undying fire on the
hearth. There the food was cooked; and from it the
candles were lighted. If fires were lighted in other
~fireplaces in the house Goals for that purpose were
taken from the ever burning one
The life of the whole household conferred around
this fireplace. The family broke bread together
in this room. Here the bible was read aloud and
prayer was made. The undying fire On the hearth
was not merely a source of heat and a means of
preparing food, it was a symbol of the life of the
household. 1t was not merely a physical necessity;
it was a spiritual reality. Net only was this fire
place one of the first essentials of material exist
ence; its ascending flames expressed the aspira-
lions of that household for a higher citizenship and
a nobler life.
And wherever New Englanders later journeyed to
the westward in the settlement of the country a big
open fireplace was never overlooked when they built
their homes. The old traditions were carried on
and about it the family gathered and books were
read and lessons learned and from out these family
circles the great men and women of their period
came. The undying fire upon the hearth, the sym.
Dol of the home, was the influence that guided and
lighted the way.

Mr.. Secretary Slemp

President Coolidge has selected G. Bascom
Slemp of Virginia to be his secretary. Mr.. Slemp
comes from a we'll known Virginia family which
has been active in the industrial development and
the public life Of the state for many generations
He is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute
and of the University of Virginia Law school. The
Slemp family have long been large land owners in
the southwest portion Of the state on the eastern
slope of the Cumberland and Allegheny mountains
next to the Kentucky and West Virginia borders
In the development of that section of the state the
Slemps have taken a large part and enriched
themselves through timber and coal. The Slemp
Coal company is one of their holdings, said to be a
model concern and always free from industrial tur-
moil which marks other similar concerns in that
and adjoining sections.
Slemp for many years member of congress from the
ninth Virginia district and the only Republican
member from that state in a generation or since
the founding of the Republican party in 1856.
The father died in office in 1907 and the son was
chosen for the unexpired term and has continued
to represent the ninth district to March, 1923.
Mr. Slemp has had much political experience in
his native state and through participation in nat
ional affairs; and is regarded rs skillful and well.
Informed. He also has high standing in the legal
profession. Is a gentleman of pleasing address and
although fifty-three years of age has escaped matri
mony.
His selection will be pleasing to congressional
circles and public men generally because Of his
thorough understanding of the public and official
business.

Picking Him EARLY

There is a whole lot of worrying being done, by
a whole lot of folks, as to the identity Of the condi-
dates of the two major parties for the presidency
next year. The death of Harding and elevation of
Coolidge has precipitated quite a discussion and
some considerable wild speculation. Had Mr..
Harding recovered from his illness the nominee of
the Republican party was settled. he would have
been the party choice by reclamation. Now the one
party is as much at sea as the other, until the Cool
idge administration either wins the Republican
party's approval or loses it.
The Democratic party seems to rally to no par
ticular one of her numerous candidates; and there
are many in what is known as the receptive stage.
There are numerous factions in that party as there
are political blocs in the Republican party.
These factions and blocks have talked third par
ty until they have worn the subject out and each
day sees any real hope in this direction receding
into the background where most such movements
have regularly retired when action is called by
the two big parties.
The rank and file Of the two parties Is no doubt
engaged as usual in discovering a favorite son
somewhere in their midst that will bring prestige
to the old home state. President makers are think.
ing less and less of any other qualification in the
candidate than the ability to bring back into work.
ing harmony with their respective parties the var
ious factions and blocks which will go a long
ways toward victory.
While pre-convention noise has something to do
with results, this much can be relied upon-those
who direct nominating conventions do their utmost
TO pick a winner and back of it all there are a lot
of voters who are not to be easily fooled. Their
judgment is to be relied upon. They are seldom
wrong.
So if there are those who engage in the fascinat-
ing game of picking presidents-and why, there is
no harm in it. But to all such there is this admoni.
ton offered-keep an eye on Calvin Coolidge. He
has had more real luck than any public man you
can find in American history.

Game Growing Scarce

SHERIDAN.-J. C. Logsdon of the
Sheridan ROD and Gun club says the
scarcity Of game as compared with
several years 6 is noticeable now,
Sage fowl r the only game bird
left which seem to be as numerous as
formerly.
Mr.. Logsdon was hunting sage hens
last week and found plenty of old
fowls. but scarcely any young. h.
said. He thinks the young have beer
hidden by the hens. He said one
bunch was flushed in which there
were more than 80 old ROSTERS.
The best fishing now be found
ION top" in the mountains. Mr.. Logs.
don thinks. Fish can still be pulled
out of the lower streams. he said,
but the best sport can be had up in
the mountains. The trout now being
caught average m to one and a half
pounds. he said.

Gasoline Prices Tumble

The country is in the throes Of a gasoline war
and prices have been shot to pieces. Some fifteen
states have experienced price cuts by retailers sup
piled by rival producers. The benefits are all to
the users of gasoline, to drivers of automobiles and
trucks and SO far as they arc concerned the war
may continue forever.
The price cuts are doubtless duo to the overpro-
duction concerning which oil operators have COM
planned for some time past, rather than to the
belief, which seems to prevail in some states, that
gasoline has been heretofore kept at a purely fic-
titious high level and not in sympathy with the law
of supply and demand.
1t is superfluous to state that oil stocks have
experienced n slump in the market with the an,
nounced cuts in gasoline products and crude prod
ucts are altogether likely to have a similar exper
fence.

Representative Government

Men do not make laws. They do but discover
them. Laws must be justified by something NOR
than the will of the majority They must rest on the
eternal foundation of righteousness. That state
is most fortunate in it's form of government which
has the aptest instruments for the discovery of
laws. The latest most modern and nearest perfect
system that craftsmanship has devised is repre-
sentative government. Its weakness is the weak.
ness Of us imperfect human beings who administer
it. Its strength is that even such administration Sc
cures to the people more blessings than any other
system ever produced. No nation has discarded II
and retained liberty. Representative government
must be preserved.-Calvin Coolidge.

Victim of Shooting

LARAArIE.-G. C. Cruzen Of the
Laramie Drug company was a victim
of a hunting accident Sunday, being
sprinkled heavily with shot from
12-gauge shotguns. Two shot lodged
in Mr.. Cruzen's left cheek and chin
one penetrated his right ear. one
narrowly missed his jugular vein and
lodged In his breast, while the NTH
penetrated his right arm.
A party of Laramie hunters were
after sage chickens on the Dave
West ranch. near Elk mountain
when the accident occurred. A flock
of chickens rose between two of this
hunters on either side of Mr.. Cruzen
and from the way the shots hit him
it is thought that both hunters firec

globe come accounts of floods, fires, railroad and
motor accidents, each with an accompanying loss

ment for period of years and recent
ly subjected to more than 10000
miles of hard and varied road tests
These brakes enable the car to be
brought to a standstil much more
quickly and smoothly thus affording
an added factor of safety inestimable
in its advantages. The brakes are
operated by light pressure on the
foot pedal and the mechanism is both
simple and ingenious. The factory
organization gives its complete ap-
proval to this feature as perfected and
In no sense experimental
Another outstanding factor is the
improved fabrication of the engine.
There are new cup top push rods and
the rocker arms, valve stems and
springs, connecting rod bearings are
all automatically fabricated.
The foregoing are merely the high
spots in the 1924 Buick, the minor
Improvement and ref1nements of the
line being, in the aggregate, scarcely
less interesting and epochal. And
through 1t all basic Buick ideas of
construction have been rigidly ad-
hered to- amplified marvelously, but
in no instance discarded,
OF the IA body models of the line,
10 are mounted on the six cylinder
chassis and four on the four cylinder
chassis. OF the six-cyinder body
models there are two interesting de-
partures from the 1923 line, a FIVE
passenger sedan to be known as the
double service" and a passenger
brougham. The former is painted
durable black and the interior is
lined and upholstered in easily reno
waited material. The result is a. car
that can be subjected to the toughest
usages of business and at the same
time quickly adaptable to social pur-
poses.
The five passenger brougham, paint
ed in a brilliant maroon, is a very
smart model of the so-called sport
type. 1t has all the reflnements. in
side and out, that are associated with
cars of this character, besides many
features distinctly Its own.
The five passenger touring car and |
the passenger sedan, finished in
iustrous black. are distinguished by
ample room. The seven-passenger
touring and seven passenger sedan are
In beautiful soft shade of
blue. The sport roadster and sport,

anger roadster are finished in black.
