cattlemen had come to look upon as

Dead lines" were numerous, defining
the cattlemen's ideas of the boundaries

crossed any such line was endangering
not only his sheep but his own life
as well.
Pat Sullivan at the outset of his Ca

Briton's Death Results in Speculation
About "Curse" of Tut-ankh-Amen'sT Tomb

late Sir Rider Haggards romance of
old Egypt, Cleopatra" The dominat-
ing theme Of this story is the Curse Of
Menkaura," whereby the stealing of the
ancient treasure slowly but surely leads
to the downfall and ultimate suicide Of
Antony's Queen. There is an almost
startling resemblance between the UNI
folding OF the narrative conceived by the
novelist and the events which have fol-
lowed the discovery of the sepulcher
ana the removal OF its treasures.
Fires Revived Story.
The suggestion that the Hon. Richard
Bethel, who assisted Lord Carnarvon
and Howard Carter in their operations,
had come under the Course" was raised
last year, when some mysterious fires
occurred at his home, where priceless
trophies from -Amen's tomb
were stored. Hot cinders were found
underneath q cushion and burned
patches were found In valuable screens
and carpets.
Subsequently a charge Of arson was
brought against footrnan employed by
Mr.. Bethel, which charge was reduced
to one Of doing willful damage.
Howard Carter, who actually discov-
cred the tombs, does not believe in the
curse" In his Tut-ankh-Amenb book he
said: "All sane people should dismiss
such inventions with contempt. So far
as the living are concerned, curses of
this nature have no place in the Egyp-
tian ritual"
Psychologist Skeptical.
Sir Ernest Bulge, Psychologist, said
that, although there are many strange
stories for which he could see no ex-
PLANTATION, he was decidedly skeptical
about the secretion of poisons in the
tombs. He added that he was certain
the Egyptians did not do such things
and in most cases Of death rational
explanation had been found.
However, the fact remains that the
Hon. Richard Bethel was found lying
dead in his bedroom one morning by
his valet. He had appeared 70 be In
normal health.

Ten Years of Prohibition
Dangers Oal-Advantages

Government has handled this prohibi-
ton problem will be the subject Of ex-
tensive, and perhaps furious, debate
VETS will say we have failed. Even some
drys will take the attitude that the Gov
eminent has not done its full share. But
am bold enough to say that only o
very few of those who discuss the prob
lem will have any real appreciation OF
what has been done in the last 10
years.
Critics of enforcement methods are in
the habit of considering this as a single
battle, to be won by skillful maneuver
on one side or gross stupidity on the
other. It Is not battle. It Is not cam
paien. It is a war-and a war which is
not limited to a single boundary, or to
the more favorable seasons Of the year.
Raging for Ten Years.
It is a war which has ragged for 10
years, day and night, on a far-flung
line. 5000 miles long and half as wide.
In this war the resources Of the Federal
Government are pitted against the in
genuity of avaricious men: At times
victory perches on one banner, and then
suddenly switches to the other.
How long this war will continue no
one can foresee. I am not optimistic
enough to believe that in my lifetime
the Federal Government can afford to
relax in its efforts to stamp out the
liquor trafic. Common sense tells US
that so long as America has to fight
alone in Unis war against alcoholism
large sections of the people Of our coun-
try will be on the side of the man who
breaks the law. But there Is some
satisfaction in knowing that in 10 years
we have inflicted terrific losses on the
enemy, and there has not been single
year of the 10 that has not witnessed
some triumph by the Federal Govern
ment.
have been closely associated with
the Prohibition Bureau since its incep-
ton, and therefore I look back not on
few outstanding incidents, but on a
general picture Of new problems arising
as soon as old ones have been solved.
At the very outset. 10 years ago, en-
forcement was necessarily difficult be-
cause liquor was extremely plentiful.
The saloons and the wholesalers were
well stocked when war time prohibition
went into effect on July l, 1919, and
while much of these floor stocks found
their way into the hands Of purchasers
during the next six months, there were
still large supplies on hand in places
where the eyes Of Federal agents could
not penetrate.
First Years Problem.
That was the problem Of the first
year, the secret transfer of whistles and
wines from the liquor dealers to the
customer. To stop It was the job of the
local police. The Federal Government
at that time had only few hundred
men in the work, force pitifully mad
equate even to make beginning.
BY the end of the first year this prob
lem solved itself. The floor stocks dis
appeared. Saloons and wholesale houses
could not restock, and so we passed into
the second stage, the diversion of pure
whisky from the bonded warehouses

that I wanted to go out West. He
asked me where wanted to go. I told
him as far as my money would take
me, and I laid down most Of my saw
ings. The man figured awhile and
then gave me a ticket to Rock Springs.
I had never heard Of wyoming, but 1t
sounded all right to me-and It's
sounded all right ever since"
A sheep herder's Job is not quite the
pastoral sinecure that many persons
imagine, and 1t was considerably
harder in those times than 1t is today.
A man started out alone. in charge OF
1850 or more sheep, and he was gone
for weeks, perhaps months, with oc-
casional visitors furnishing his only
contacts with the outside world. But
the loneliness of the life didn't dis
turb Pat Sullivan. It gave him q grand
opportunity to read, and he made the
most of 1t.
Rustlers Were Numerous.
There were plenty Of men in Wy
oming who were living en- the shady
side Of the law. Cattle rustlers were
numerous. Many small ranchers were
suspected of stealing cattle from the
big outfits, and there Is no doubt that
the suspicion was justified. Matters
came more or less to q head in 1893,
when the last Of the cattle wars was
fought in johnson County. The big
cattle outfits hired force Of gun-flght-

As Told to Thomas Carens.
IF the first 10 years are the hardest,
the friends of prohibition have real
cause for rejoicing next Thursday.
Il On that day national prohibition
will be 10 years old. 1t has shaken
of the diseases of infancy, 1t has
weathered the bumps and bruises Of
the growing years, and 1t enters the
period Of adolescence with robustness
which augurs well for the second dec
ade of its life.
Dangers. and pitfalls are ahead.
beat about its broadening shoulders for
long years to come. It's enemies In
some parts of the land may honestly
believe that this sturdy youth is head
ed for an early grave. But its friends
and well-wishers, and I am one of
them, have no misgivings. Looking
back at that day 10 years ago when
the United States embarked on this
experiment, and when the scoffers were
predicting its early abandonment, we
are more than ever convinced now that
as a national policy prohibition is sound
and that the vast majority of our peo-
pie intend that 1t shall be maintained.
No Desire to Preach.
I say all this with no desire to
preach. That is not exactly in my line
There were moral, social and economic
reasons which brought prohibition to
compelling today for a continuance Of
the policy Each has its eloquent ex-
ponents. I am not a clergyman or a
sociologist, but just an individual who
happened to choose the science of
chemistry for life work. Therefore,
it is only natural that I should be more
personally concerned with the eco
nomic side. A short time ago de-
clared that did not know an econo-
mist of note who is not strongly OF the
opinion from data which he has ex-
brought about tremendous economic
advance. While I did not make that
statement as a challenge. there is some
satisfaction in knowing that 1t has not
been refuted by the enemies OF pro-
hibition.
Laying aside the part which alcohol
may play In weakening the moral fiber
of our people. and forgetting for a mo-
ment the disrupting effect Of the old
saloon on thousands Of American
homes, let us consider 10 years Of pro-
hibition in its relation to the indus
trial advancement of America. Long
as to the effect of alcohol on the nerv-
Gus system, and while the moral and
social forces may have been most ef-
fective In forcing congressional action,
my opinion is that today the economic
reason is as important as either Of the
others.
Sees Aim as Futile.
To attempt to reconcile the open and
legalized sale of beverage liquor with
our present mechanical and precisely
controlled industry is futility itself.

LONDON-With the unexpected
death Of the Hon. Richard Bethel, son
and heir of Lord Westbury, there has
been considerable speculation here as
TO whether there Is any potency in the
curse Of the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt
It is said that when King Tut-ankh-
Amen was buried 1000 years ago the
magicians put q curse upon whomso-
ever should disturb the bones. Believers
In the occult maintain that the Egyp-
tians of the ancient civilization had the
power Of infusing the mummies of their
dead with supernatural influence, the
power Of which brings disaster to those
who profane or in any way disturb the
places of burial.
Other Deaths Recalled.
The potency Of the curse might be
expected to have dwindled with the
passing centuries, but a remarkable
train Of events during recent years
Only six weeks after Tut-ankh-Amen' s
tomb was opened In 1928 by Lord Car
narvon and Howard Carter, the former
died and the latter was taken seriously
LII soon after the tomb was entered,
but later recovered.
Seven French newspaper men and
authors visited the opened tomb and
WITHIN O lew years SIX OF Jnem oleo.
They were Maurice Bars, Jules Hulet,
Henri Casella, Pierre Baudin, Joseph
Galtier and Paul Adam.
Three years ago two French scholars,
Drs. Benedict and Casanova, died I'M
expectedly after visiting the tomb. DR..
Mardus, eminent French Psychologist,
then ascribed the two deaths to
curses"
Legend Of Poisons Cited.
During the fatal illness of Lord Car
narvon, Miss Marie Corelli, the novelist
suggested that he had been bitten by q
mosquito, and quoted an old Arabic
book, in which It was stated that with
the treasure Of Egypts Kings were
buried divers secret poisons incloseo
In boxes in such wise that they who
touch them shall not know how they
came to suffer"

think even the skeptics will concede
that the master of one of the worlds
those industrial leaders who believe
that their own purchases and habits
are above the application of this law,
you will find a fairly general opinion
that liquor drinking is an evil in so far
as it applies to their employees. their
customers, and particularly their debt
ors. One of our unsolved problems is
to make these men apply their inner
most beliefs to their own methods of
living.

some men who were dipping
sheep.
The lad hardly needed to say that he
was looking for job. His appearance
in a suit of rusty black which ended
much too "pronto" at wrists and an
kles. and on the back of his head was
a flat-crowned derby hat which almost
created riot among the sheep clippers.
If the boss of the sheep OUTFIT had
had any inkling that he was dealing
with the future United States Senator
Patrick j. Sullivan of the sovereign
State of wyoming, he might have been
more respectful in the way he treated
the applicant for job-and then again
he might not: you never can tell about
those Western guys.
Anyway, the boss, after looking Pat
over and sort of getting used to the
numbing shock, told the tenderfoot to
come with him. They entered store
one of those old-time Western en-
poriums that had everything. Then
the boss reached over and grabbed
Pats hat and threw it on the floor and
stamped on 1t until it was all in frag-
ments and Pat was QUILTED with a
wide brimmed hat, flannel shirt, cordu
rows and overalls to replace the clothes
he was wearing. Then Pat was taken
over and put to work dipping sheep.
Dipping Exhaustive Job.
The thousands Of sheep that run the
ranges of the West must be dipped at
stated intervals in some highly anti
septic and generally not less highly
spread of disease. Grabbing full grown,
muscular and reluctant sheep and hurl-
ing them into this malodorous mixture
as fast as they come through the chute
is a man size job, but the Irish boy
proved himself strong and capable.
Then, when the dipping was over and
the sheep were started back again to
their ranges, Pat Sullivan tramped
along behind one OF the fiocks-a full
fiedged sheep herder.
A few weeks ago Gov. Frank C. En-
erson Of Wyoming appointed this same
Pat Sullivan United States Senator to
succeed the late Francis E. Warren,
dean of the Senate. BY coincidence
the Wyoming senatorship thus passed
from one sheep owner to another.
Senator Warren for years had been one
of the largest owners OF sheep in the
West, though, unlike Sullivan, he had
Senator in later years acquired lands
as well as sheep. He is a real estate
holder in and around his home town
of Casper, and he became interested in
the developments which have made
that town the center of one of the rich
est oil fields in the world.
People who have an idea that the
sheep business Is monotonous are all
wrong" says Senator Sullivan. There's
something to keep a man busy all the
time. In the Spring there's the lamb
ing and then the shearing. Then the
sheep have to be taken to the Sum-
mer range, generally in the mountains.
In the Fall they have to be brought
down again to the Winter range. If
there are heavy storms during the
Winter the sheep must be fed That's
some problem in itself when you figure
how widely the fiocks are scattered"
Excitements in Early Days.
Perhaps much of the Wyoming
Senator's love for the sheep business
comes from the fact that in his early
years as a herder and as a small flock
master ION his own" there were ex-
elements in the game which have
died out now that the range wars have

NEWSPAPERS DO NOT CATER TO
 PUBLIC OPINION.

The New York Herald Tribune argues that the press of the country is predominantly wet because it eaters for the most part to an urban const- tuency which is naturally wet"
 That is nonsense and the Herald Tribune does the metropolitan press, including itself, injustice in the statement The fact is that the press of the United States docs not generally speaking, cater to public sentiment at all More often it leads opin ion within its field than follows it, else it stands in opposition to the prevailing thought The Herald Tribune is itself illustration of this point. Its circulation and advertising largely from Great CT New York, from people who support Tammany and a Democratic State Administration yet it strongly opposes both.
 The fact is that the press of the country is largely opposed to Prohibition because the who make the papers are better informed what is going on in the land and are better observers than most of those in other occupations. They see more clearly the dangers and actual damages to institutions from Prohibition enforcement. They know that men will not be driven They under stand that people cannot be forced by legislative enactments and clubs and guns to change their wrong to conform to the ideas of self-constituted overords.
 Newspapers rarely cater to public opinion They may be influenced by what they believe to be the best interest of their constituencies They under stand that they cannot prosper unless the communi ties in which they printed prosper and to that extent it may be that they may be influenced by sef-interest But it is a public spirited sort of sefshness Their desire for profits is one that includes the public welfare

In recent issue of the Seattle Daily Times, under ( Victoria date line, the following dispatch appear ed:
 First mention of the proposed British Columbia Alaska Highway in the British Columbia Legisla- ture was made this afternoon when Col. Nelson Spencer of Vancouver moved the address in reply to the speech from the throne delivered Tuesday at the opening of the ses- sion by Lieut.. Gov. Randolph Bruce.

 If this is done it will be a great source of revenue for this Prov ince and open up wealthy mining territories in the North, but it also will have the effect of having a continuous stream of tourists trav- cling from Uncle Sam's country south of the forty-ninth parallel to their great territory of Alaska. the land of the midnight sun.
