Neither are show- ing hesitancy about what is working in their minds. The best sign of it all is that both are demanding bet- ter things than have heretofore satisfied them. Medi- ocrity is no longer acceptable. It seems to be recog- nized that in public affairs that the biggest and best men can no longer hold back. They must make sac- rifices in order to serve the public when there is a well-defined demand. Public offices have been filled too frequently by men of small calibre and public af- fairs have suffered in consequence. The time has come when men otherwise engaged in large affairs of their own, will have to drop.their business in order to save other peoples’ business out of pure pa- triotism. Therefore when we find in the Riverton Chronicle the subjoined article we want to endorse every word the editor has said. We commend the article the Chronicle has so ably set before the people. John Hay for governor of, Wyo- ming, has an appeal to every person who owns a stiek of property in the state or has the slightest pride in the state in which he lives. The Chronicle says: “It is business ability that counts in these days of reconstruction, and the reconstruction period is not yet at an end, there remaining much of vital impor- tance to be accomplished in the next few years, and all does not rest with the senate and congress of the United States.” This state as well, will have a part to lay. . . “During the war period extravagance was the or- der ofthe day. It was evident in the national gov- ernment, in the various state governments, in prac- tically ail county administrations, in cities, towns\and villages. Today we are paying for that extravagance, and will continue to pay for it for years to come. And what is a lameritable fact in connection therewith, economies are still not in evidence to a sufficient de- gree to satisfy the business man who has the fore- sight to look a short way into the future. “Wyoming, one of the most fortunate states of this great union, although receiving funds from oil royal- ties and other sources to such extent that every once in a while word is sent out from Cheyenne to the ef- fect that Wyoming will soon be a taxless state, is making increased demands upon the taxpayers. “That taxless state proposition sounds good, but when the announcement of the tax levies for this year was made, that day looked farther away than ever. An increase, not only for county, school and other purposes, was announced, but the state also had to dig a little deeper into the pocket of the taxpayer. There is no good reason why. under a strictly business and economical administration, the requirements di- rect from the taxpayers of this state should not have been reduced instead of increased. Half a million dol- lars should have been cut from the expenses of the state, instead of increasing expenditures. “Looking for some method by which this desired result could be accomplished, the writer has heard dis- cussed on numerous occasions various men, whom it was believed, through their business ability, would be capable of conducting an adminstration of the affairs of Wyoming in such manner that the burdens of the taxpayers could be lessened, and at the same time the efficiency of the administration increased. “John W. Hay of Rock Springs, is one of the best known and substantial citizens of the state of Wyo- ming. His rise from a modest position to that which he at present holds is due solely to close application, indefatigable energy and persistency of purpose, a broad vision of the future, and the forceful and re- sourceful ability with which he carried forward any project with which he became identified, and that made him a leader of men. “Tf there is a man in this state of ours that is bet- ter fitted to fill the governor’s chair, whose qualifica- tions better adapt him to the solution of problems that will confront this state in the next few years and that ‘at present need solution, The Chronicle would like to know who it is. “Prior to the primary preceding the last general election this paper made its choice of candidates for the various state offices. The selection, apparently, was founded on good judgment, for every man se- lected won out in the primary and was later elected to office. “At this time, with an exception, and that is that the gentleman named will make the personal sacril- fice for the benefit of his state, and there is reason to believe that he will, The Chronicle is going to pre- dict that Hon. J. W. Hay of Rock Springs, will be the next governor of the state of Wyoming. “The political pot is beginning to boil, and men are announcing themselves for important offices, One ‘of the most important positions to be filled next year by the electors of this state will be that of governor, and The Chronicle, at this time, humbly begs to sug- gest the name of n. J. W. Hay for governor, be- Heving that the péople of ‘the state will, in short or- der, make such demand upen him for his services in that capacity, that an announcement from thet gen. » tleman pen be forthcoming in the near future,” ———_o-—__—_. HOLDING CAREY RESPONSIBLE, Ths Lyman Enterprise in common with all other newspapers of the state did its part in promoting the bond issue for state-highways last May and vouched| for the promises of Governor Carry and others of his office as second class| the governor and state highway commission were not that not only have the people been deceived in the matter of getting road work under way. but the press ‘ise has this to say on the subject: “Sometime in July we took occasion to mention, and in terms that could not be misunderstood, that keeping the promises they made to the people of Wyo- ming during the bond issue campaign. The people were given to understand that work would be com- menced immediately. The roads needed to be im- proved; the people needed the money. The financial crisis, which everyone could see coming, would there- by lose its sting in this state. Employment would be furnished for all cf our idle men who cared to ac- cept it. To vote the bonds would be a master stroke. ‘The people supposed that the governor and his associates were acting in good faith, They voted the bonds. The newspapers of the state, regardless of Politics, took up the fight’ and carried it to the peo- ple. Every newspaper received letters following the campaign thanking them for the part they took in waging a successful campaign. The newspapers did their part and they did it in good faith, and now they feel that their pages were filled with hoods. Nothing has been done, “The writer has been asked several different times of Inte why nothing has been done, and he was not prepared to answer. And now he puts that question to the governor and the state highway commission, and the answer, if it satisfies the people, must be en- tirely different from the one made to a similar ques- tion a short time ago.” The people and the press quite properly resent such violation of good faith as the governor has shown and are holding him responsible for frittering away the entire summer and fall when work on highways could have been prosecuted with advantage and opportunity to earn was so greatly needed among the people. All the while Governor Cerey was waiting for “things to come down.” Abid as uli 'h ” MARSE HENRY INTERVIEWED. Any statement from Colonel Henry Watterson, the tured greatly upon the example of the good fairies. it true that every famous editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal and| despised Cinderella wine” hor fairy dean of the order, is interesting. He has written and|prince, but this fable, in its ye He The moral feeling of a child is nur- many spoken more brilliant things than any newspaper edi-jforms, has been a joy and a consola- | tor alive today and he has been doing the same thing and delivering the same quality since before the Civil war. He was the friend and jociate of such stars of the newspaper firmament as Greeley, Raymond, Prentis. Halstead, Bennett, Curtis, Medill and a hun- dred others who later came on the scene. Of all the great editors Colonel Watterson is pos- sibly the most lovable and he has remained the long- est with us to prolong our pleasure. A newspaper woman encountered the veteran edi- tor the other day and asked him a series of ques- tions. His answers show a tinge of cynicism toward his life long profession and especially toward the de- partment over which he so long presided. The ques- tions and answers follow: ‘ 1. What was the biggest plece of, news ever print- ed in the papers in your experience? Col. Watterson.—The assassination Lincoln, 2. Has journalism improved in the last 50 years? It has not improved, merely expanded and enlarged —maybe grammatically better written and typograph- ically better printed. 3. Da you believe the editorial has as much sway upon the public as of yore? It is not so highly considered, less representative and oracular. The public is fairly “on” the editorial “we.” 4, What do you think of scare heads? I was one of their originators. When they are done with intelligence and fidelity they advise the reader and simplify the reading. 5. What city handles the news best? That which has the best newspapers. 6. What do you think of feature stories, cartoons, and the comics as assets to a paper? They amuse the trivial and diversify and spice the paper. 7. What is the future of journalism? It has none. It has reached its limit. The public knows its “tricks”? only too well. 8. Are newspaper women an asset to a paper? Journalism is sexless. 9 What are the best qualities for an all round reporter? Accuracy, a nose for news, an eye for the perspec- tive and a-sense of color and effect. 10. Is the newspaper the greatest educator in the world? In a loose, superficial way it probably is. 11. What section of the paper do the people read most? After the alleged news of the day, the sports, the scandals and advertising. 12. Who were the best editorial writers of the old days? There were many. In thé north, Greeley, Raymond and Fourney. In the south, Ritchie, Prentis and John Forsythe. In the east, Sam Bowles. In the west, Joseph Medill. 18._ What do you think of the present day woman, with her bobbed hair, short skirts, and devotion to cigarettes? : She looks like a freak and acts like a harlot. 14. What has prohibition done for the newspa- pers? ; { Kept the boys sober and made liars, sneaks and lew-breakers of the rest of us. ° 15. Can a man write as peppily without an <cca- sional bit of something for inspiration? No man can write his best under an alcoholic stim- ulation. To write well one must keep his head cool and his feet warm. What you call an occasional tn- spiration is apt to degenerate into habitual ‘stimula- tion and thence dropping of the delinquent from the payroll. A clear brain, a full mind and an honest pur- pose are the essentials to good and useful writing, the only kind of writing that has any real value, pas SET SS CRE EXPENSES DOWN, CREDIT UP.
