PAGE SIX THE CASPER DAILY TRIBUNE tbune will abscription ars. by Governor Haskell that he is not coming into Casper. That word has gone out. As a_ result Casper, which should get the most from this railroad, is realizing the least. Apathy replaces eagerness; reaction sets in where progression should take place. It is Casper’s own fault. Casper must make Governor Haskell sce that it is best to change his mind—best for-him as well as for us. | The Wyoming North and South’ ilroad does not HAVE to come to Casper; the fatuous arguments of whose wish is father to the t to the contrary notwith- The road can get all of per’s oil” tonnage—which is the main consideration—from Salt |Creek without ever coming any nearer the city. It can get other freight tonnage by coming no nearer than, says, Ilco or Bucknam. | And it will do exactly that, unless| the business men of this city} who are now on the move, throw | off this attitude of indifference and | this “let - nature - take - its-course” feeling, and show Governor Haskell that it is wise, profitable, and good business to come into this city. The railroad does not need Cas- per, the city, for its success. But Casper, the city, needs the railroad for its success. Action must be taken promptly to be of any serv- ice.

ANTICIPATED BOOMS Whether or not the Wyoming North and South Railroad, which will link two great transcontinental rail systems and open up our state from Montana to Colorado, comes through Casper or simply slides past fifteen or twenty miles to the west depends upon two factors. Those factors are first, Casper, and sec- ond, Goveror C. N. Haskell. The questions which revolved around Section 36 no longer com- plicate the situation. And whether we like it or not, two facts obtain; namely, that Casper is the only im- *porant point which has not defi- »nitely pledged whole-hearted support of the railroad builders, and that) without that support the entry of “the railroad into our city is not likely to be made. Some rather strong, anti-Haskell publicity was spread with a heavy hand in Casper during the height of the railroad campaign. Some rather harsh names were used. “There was no smile behind these names, and if there had been it would not have been visible’ to Gov-| ernor Haskell at a distance of two thousand miles. In effect, if not in fact, the Haskell representatives were told to get out of Casper and stay out. And the onus is on on one but ourselves; more particularly on | those who undertook to voice the sentiments of Casper in a manner little less than insulting. Those sentiments are not the sen- timents of Casper now, and there is a question whether they ever were. Let us forget the past differ- ences, put aside irrelevant ques- tions, and pull together now to get the railroad. Representative Charles E. Winter has said he will be one of a delega- tion of six men; including, he sug- gests, one representative of the Standard Oil i ernor Haskell ew York and as- sure him that Casper is anxious and eager to have the railroad; that far from being apathetic we are roady and willing to do anything within reason to have the railroad come to Casper. Whether railroads are entitled to land grants, bonuses, and similar considerations is beside the point. Many roads have received such sup- port, and the Wyoming North and ~South line is rece: uch support from other places along its right of ly, it will expect simi- snt from Casper. te boom, prior to the launching of a boom itself, is of great lue to any or town A 1 Sherid and other re € the pros- atory moye- nter- t yusands o ent, mer sts, to go to Gov-| FREE SPEECH IN THE | ARMY Pacifists want to curb the speech | |of army officers who criticize them | | adversely; Secretary of War Weeks is said to believe that the pacifists | should be muzzled. As far apart as the poles in their opinions, they agree upon methods. If there is going to be an extend- Jed argument between extreme pa- | cifists on one side and those who believe in preparedness on the other, it would seem wiser to drop all talk of muzzling people, and| rather encourage the recognition of capable spokesmen. England does not muzzle political opponents, nor even radicals of a dangerous looseness of language. Thov believe in real “free speech” ov: there, more than we do in America, with all our emphasis on freedom of thought and converss- tion. Bottling up opinions ferments that which would be only radical talk, in nine cases out of ten, into something which may easily turn into radical action. Let us hear| both sides of an arument more freely. Let the soap-box orator orate, and be done with it. jharm will be infinitely less in the long run. | Army officers, who would natur- Jally be inclined to be advocates of preparedness, are bound by customs | of the service, as effective as any| written laws, to watch their speech} carefully, They are not always |able to say what they think, particu-' |larly on political subjects. Their professional zeal occasionally over- {comes their natural caution. But for Secretary Weeks, a civil- ian, there are no taboos. | | the unspoken views of the army well| ' enough to be its spokesman and rep- |resentative. The pacifists are not \bound by any individual restrajnt. |Let both sides speak out, and the |discussion be in the open. ' Fae A eae ea Ye | THE MEXICAN MENACE | | Mr. Stephen Graham, a well in-|; |formed correspondent, to ew York Evening Post from the City of Mexico negatives quite sharply the impression which has lately been carefully cultivated that | Mexico is setling down to pence and |prosperity, and that the Obregon | government is about to be, or ought| to be, officially recognized by our |government. He says that certain | states, such as Vera Cruz and Yuca-}| tan, are Bolshevik through and trough. They are in the hands of| the revolutionary proletariat, and if| industry is maintained in them at) all it is because the employers dis- |regard the confiscatory enactments |by threatening to withdraw and leave the whole population without employment if the laws are en- forced, Other states are balanced | between two rival governments, one | “red” and the other “reactionary. Land owners have been dispossessed, |and their lands turned over to the | former peons, who generally can not work them—unless the old land owners are locally strong enough to defy the authorities and the mob. Everywhere there is great inse-| | curity of life and property. Crime is left unpunished. And little by little the foreigners, who are in most cases the merchants and man- ufacturers of the country, are being driven out one by one. Govern- ment and law are nearly everywhere being made a mockery. | ‘The situation with regard to the |treatment of all foreigners, tnclu- | ding Americans, is indeed such that, in Mr. Stephen Graham's opinion, American intervention and Ameri- can control will eventually become necessary, Of course, “eventually” |is a very indefinite word. There may be a nearer or a remoter event- uality. The fact is that interven- tion is undoubtedly being brought nearer by present conditions, which n var respects are worse and e menacing in Mexico now than y were in Cuba in 1898, rden suggests a European states.

IRL To Items and Articles About Men and Events Throughout the State Dies from Fall GILLETTE, Wyo., April 9.—Arthur Hanson, state and government trapper, died in Rochester, Minn., last week from the results of a fall from a 105-foot- cliff while tracking a coyote to its den. Mr. Hanson was one of the best trappers in the service of the state of Wyoming. He first came into prominence as the man who caught Pumpkin Butte Whitey, the notori- ous white she-wolf which had preyed on the flocks and herds of the ranch ers of southern Campbell county for a period of 16 years. Last fall, while at work in John- He knows son county, he fell from a cliff in the lonely hills south of Buffalo and lay in a semi-conscious state for two days Eyer since then he has been cripple. With his funds gone, he was forced to live in poverty because, under the state law existing at that time, there was no sion whereby @ man injured in of the state could be re- njuries sustained while duty. last session of the legis ppropriation of $4,000 the relief of Mr. Han: The measure passed both hor was signed by the Governor, and was then held up by the state auditor, Int as r | who rules that it is unconstitutional. Whether Mrs. Hanson will receive that money depends largely upon the decision of the state supreme court in the case of Mrs. Ida McPherren of Sheridan. A mandamus order has been asked from that high tribunal in that case to require the state auditor to pay the sum appropriated by the legisiature. If Mrs. McPher- ren’s plea succeeds, Mrs. Hanson probably can get her money later. Mr. Hanson was buried in Roches ter because of lack of funds to bring his remains home. Friends of the family in Sheridan are trying to raise sufficient funds to bring his body back to that town for burial. Killed by Rock Fal KEMMERER, Wyo., April 9.— Working under a ledge of loose rocks forming the roof of the shaft, J. E Gillispi, 42 years of age, of Great Falls, Mont., was killed instantly when rocks fell on him, crushing out his life last Friday. Mr. Gillispie has been employed in this mine for the past four months, and was known as a reliable, steady workman, although taking an unfortunate risk in this instance. He was not married and was'a member of the Knights of Pythias lodge of his home town. The accident was unayoldable. The body was shipped to his home Tuesday afternoon. Many Coyotes Caught GILLETTH, Wyo., April 9.—Ssixty- three coyotes during the season just losed is the record of two local men, Mickey Stanley and Salty Jones, who cured the last yarmint on Wednes- day of last week. These two men set out a line of traps last fall, working from the north edge of town to out as far as Elmore of. ¢ the ranch, Within sever: lette they caught of which were females.

To the one it is a continuous spur and incentive—to the other, the strongest of all guarantees that what he buys is worthy.” Patronize the manufacturer or merchant who has a reputation for honesty and fair dealing. Such motives must actuate the consistent advertiser. The man who in- vests real money in building a reputation for himself and his merchandise cannot afford to risk any of it by taking unfair advantage of his customers. He must retain the good-will of the buying public. Without this, his business cannot succeed, Every time he advertises he puts his reputation in your hands. His products or the wares he has for sale must make good. His service must be as advertised. That is why it pays to read advertisements, to deal with advertisers and to buy advertised goods. Yes, Its Worth Your While to Read the Advertisements A Worth-while Reputation
