project toward it's ultimate success.
However, in view of the solid Oppo-
sition of all the upper states, until
Arizona has ratified the seven
states compact, and with Arizona
demanding concessions from Califor
MIA that would almost offset the
benefits of the legislation, before
Arizona will consent to ratify the
pact il will probably take a great
deal of negotiating 10 the end that
all interests may be satisfied, and
in the meantime we cannot hope to
pass the desired legislation.
Not Discouraged
This does not mean that there is
any reason to be discouraged or that
we can in any measure relax our eff
forts. and it should be clear to every
one now that we must not only con
tinuc our fight for the legislation,
but we must also make defensive
fight to preserve our present water
rights.

idly developed; next year large
diversion of water will be made

small diversions are in process of
construction and several large pro-
jects will be started in the up.river
states as soon as they can be fl
nanced.
In the past much time and energy
has necessarily been expended in
trying to iron out local differences

the people of California to a realiz-
alton that the Colorado river is an

ont delay. This has been accom-
plished to such an extent that it
will proceed with only fraction of

Sheridan Journal-With gasolir Q
selling at 26h cents a gallon in
Sheridan, there is reason for cen
sure of the great oil industry, but
the censure will do no good unless
action results in getting at the fangs
of the monster trust. 1t was ol'y
during the past week that the price
was reduced from 2S " cents.
Down in Nebraska gasoline has
been selling during the past summer
at II and Is cents a gallon. with
the same low prices prevailing in
many states far removed from the
oil producing centers.
Reports during the past week.
while gasoline was still selling at
2Sh cents in Sheridan, tell us that
down in Kansas a gasoline war is
on between some of the big com
panies, and in Wichita gasoline sold
as low as 1873 cents a gallon.
If gasoline can sell in that ter
ritory for fifteen cents less than it
does here, it makes one wonder how
much profit is being made by those
who say what the price shall be.
AS has been said, the closer you
get to the oil wells, the higher goes
the price of oil. Sheridan is on the
edge of one of the greatest oil fields
in the world, yet it is necessary to
pay prices as high, or higher. thar
at any railroad point in the United
States.
The greatest industry of Wyoming
today is its oil, and it is possible
that our state government is not
keeping the watchful eye keenly on
the alert in the interests of the state
or its people where oil is concerned.
1t has been suggested that the
high mounting price of oil this year
should be a subject for investiga-
ton by the state authorities and in
formation assembled which might
make it hard for the governor or
next Legislature to refuse to take
steps which may be necessary to
bring about a reform in the actions
of those companies which are max
ing so much out of Wyoming lands,
paying little in return to the state,
and eXacting much from the people.
1t is a subject of deep interest
and n that should receive imme-
date attention by the governor OF
state boards.

KEEP AWAY FROM WILDCATS

Buying blue sky and wildcat shares in stock is not the
popular indoor sport it was a few years ago. People are learning
more and more the wisdom of consulting a bank with a good
reputation before making investments and handing out their
hard earned money.
National distribution of the better class of investments has
become a modern science, and in a great nation like ours will
enormous accessions of newly created wealth, it is very important
that those who buy securities know what they are getting.
Our harvest season is here. Farmers are blessed with nor
NAL crops and in some cases better than normal, and prices are
above normal. They will find themselves with plenty of money
this fall and the sGcker stock salesman will be on hand to take
it away from them.
There are many good investments in all lines of activity
and all that a buyer needs to do is use ordinary prudence and
consult with responsible banking or investment houses, and
millions of dollars will be saved from loss.

WHAT IS

Many citizens, who believe absolutely in the right to private
property when their own store or their own farm is in question
will favor public ownership of the other fellows property OF
industry.
If you would call these citizens socialists they would be
highly insulted. But that is what they are.
All of us have witnessed the sociaHstic experiment with
the other fellows property in the case of banks, insurance
railroads, ships, electric light and power companies, street rail
ways and other lines of private business.
The owner of a peanut wagon or a shoe store who voted
for public ownership of some other business would object most
strenuously if a proposal were made for the state to own and
operate the peanut wagons and the shoe stores. That would be
invading the private rights of the individual! But where is the
difference in principle? There is none.
There is a constant pressure in politics to drive the sociais-
tic wedge into some private industry. Just at the present COM
pusory automobile liability insurance-with a state insurance
fund as a rider, is the latest attempt. The persons backing the
movement would be indignant if they were referred to as So
ciaists, and yet that is what they are. They would destroy and
divide up another mans property.
Once the constitutional log which protects private rights
and liberty is cracked with the wedge of socialism in one bus
mess, it will be hard to prevent it from being split wide open
as the sociaistic principle is applied to other lines of activity.

1t has been said that the United States has no distinctive
type of art. literature, architecture and other things which the
old world claims as its own. We will not argue this question,
but we would like to point out a step in progress toward human
comfort which is distinctively American, namely, the age of
electrical conveniences.
What American would want to live in the average European
dwelling or farm house? Even the hotels, except the more ex-
pensIve ones, have few or none of the conveniences or luxuries
which in this country are considered necessities in the smallest
homes. While we may not have developed a distinctive type of
architecture in the United States, we have developed a standard
of house comfort which will be referred to in history as the
electrical home period.

ONLY ONE KIND OF FAILURE

There is but one kind of f-anure-moral failure.
The achievement of success has no standard gauge of mea-
surement. What may be a simple calling may be crowned with
success, although it may not be fraught with great renumera-
ton.
If there was a set rule, by following which we might be
sure to achieve our ambitions, there would be no such thing as
failure.
But, as 1t is, everyone is required to be his own architect.
and he must devise means by which to accomplish his life work.
All that exists as common property are certain acknowledged
principles OF morality, industry and MISUNDERSTANDING. which
successful architects of fate must use. 1t is difficult to under
stand the limitations of our felowman. How often are we
agreeably surprised by the success of one we considered dull and
stupid!

The only real failure lies in failing to make the best of ones
opportunities, whatever they may be.

KILLING THE FARMERS FRIEND

When an Iowa farmer complained that the nheasants were
eating his corn, the game department killed two of the birds,
examined their crops, and found 200 cut-worms and no corn.
Almost without exception, when the scientists investigate such
cases they find the same result. The farmer owes his crop to
the feathered police that keep down the bugs, insects and worms.
With continuing slaughter of every form of bird life the insect
loss will be heavier and farm work harder. The nation could
train an army of rifemen in a comparatively short time, but it
couldn't in a century restore the bird armies that are the farm
ers' allies in raising food to feed the country.

NEW YORK, May 7.-On sea. on
land and In the air, forces Of prohi-
bition enforcement today continued
their war of determination against
rum row and its satellites ashore.
During the night the fleet operating
against rum runners had the added
task of battling against a 45.mile gale.
With the blockade of rum row said
by Federal agents to have been made
100 per cent effective in less than two
days. prohibition agencies in New
York and surrounding counties have
initiated a cleanup which they say
will make it impossible to procure
liquor inland. Padlocks are rapidly
mopping up liquor that seeped ashore
before the blockade.
One development expected TO be
helpful in dry law enforcement was
the discovery that persons who inform
the Government of violations leading
to the arrest of dry law offenders may
receive 25 per cent of the fine IS a
reward from the Government and may
obtain a quarter of the proceeds from
the sale of the confiscated boats.

Some Canadian war veterans are

a meeting in Victoria, B. c., speakers
said that the big fleet operating
against rum row was violating the

More than 50 boats. large and small,

Burton of the American delegation to
the Geneva conference on traff1c In
arms, carries step further the pur-
poses of the treaty framed by the
Washington arms conference and ratl-
ned by all of the five signatory gov
ernments except France. Article of
Nhat treaty reads:
THE use in war of asphyXiating,
poisonous or other gases and all anal
oSous liquids, materials or devices,
having been justly condemned by the
general opinion of the civilized world
and a prohibition of such use having
been declared In treaties to which
ma ajority of the civilized powers are
parties,
The signatory powers, to the end
that this prohibition shall be univer-
sally accepted as part OF interna-
tional law binding alike the conscience
and practice of nations, declare their
assent to such prohibition, agree to be
bound thereby as between themselves
and invite all other civilized nations to
adhere thereto
The United States, Great Britain,
Italy and Japan have ratified this con-
vention, but the ratification by France
is awaited to make 1t effective.
