Such a testimonial from our friends needs no further proof that the virtue of friendship still lives. It was a welcome back home that touches us deeply. If such a thing were needed to stir our ambition it could not have been done with more emphatic cordiality. When advertisers require us to publish a sixteen page newspaper within a few hours and swamp us. with sufficient advertising for a paper double that size, we may be pardoned for assuming their action to be one of good will, approval and support in any effort we may put forth to supply an even better newspaper than we have heretofore offered to our patrons in our for- mer ownership of the Tribune. That we fully appreciate the overwhelming loy- alty and support of our advertising friends will be shown in the future general excellence of the paper that caries their announcements to the pub- lic, as well as the prompt and cheerful service we shall render them, and the willingnes with which ‘we shall devote our efforts to their prosperity. Our constant aim will be to deserve the contin- ued support of our advertisers and readers and to maintain the re-established relations of friend- ship and good will. The Big Show r is entertaining many folks from other Shoot week iaiug ab Rodeo. It woul& be superfluous to suggest that wa show them our finest hospitality. We shall do that from force of habit. In addition to our hospitality we will give them a first class entertainment and one they may remember for a long time. Oasper is b®eom- ing more and more able to care for large crowds of people and do it in comfortable fashion. The city is filling up rapidly with visitors. We are sure they will be made welcome and equally sure they will want to come and see us again. The Rodeo will rodeo for the remainder of the sweek and over Sunday. There are things to see at the grounds, the like of which are seldom seen anywhere. There are thrills galore, and excite-; iment sufficient to raise the hair on the head of| your baldest friends. Episode follows episode so rapidly that it is difficult to follow the story. Other business will go on as usual, but the main Dusiness for the next several days will be the Rodeo. | (The Country Press Much has been written and more has been said ‘with reference to the power of the country press. Its influence can scarcely be overestimated. The men who conduct the weekly newspapers of the United States wield an influence, they themselves would scarcely believe, were there but some way to ‘weigh or demonstrate it. The small town editor is known to everybody. He is in ninety-nine cases ont of every hundred a good citizen. A leader in} thought and action in his community. He may have ia rival in the country parson, but the rivalry is in| mo senso a bitter one. The fields in which they} iserve are distinctly separated. The one ministers to the spiritual and moral, the lother to the worldly needs of the community. They Hboth have complete understanding and their co- loperation results in public good and often explains why the small community is better governed and is morally better than the large community. The country editor is an institution. So is his mewspaper. Together they write and record the his. tory of their neighborhood. Some of the matters touched may seem trivial to those elsewhere, but they are not so locally. They are important be- cause they are the most important things occur. ing. They are the chronicles of the people. The births and marriages, the deaths, the accidents and| ail other personal references form-the news of the} day just as the larger matters of the city secure) the attention of the dweller in the larger center. ' ‘The country paper is seldom influenced or con- trolled by any other person or interest than its peditor. The paper reflects his personal and honest opinion and it is generally for the public good ‘that he expresses himself. The results of elections and the determination} #f great moral questions have more often than not been determined by the country press of the land. At is most always right. It is more unafraid than! the metropolitan press. It is not. subject to the pull- ing of strings. It is honest. And best of all it is in- corruptible. The Christian Science Monitor has a kind word to say and profound respect to express for the coun-| try weeklies; and sees more hope in them for the future than in almost any other institution labor. ;4 community as the mentor and guide when the) 'the constitution and the laws be unhesitatingly | seemed ing for the nation’s good. In a recent number the Monitor said; “Let no one regard lightly or slightingly the in- fluence of the so-called country press of the United| States. The ‘home’ newspaper is looked to in many time comes to make an important decision. The editor of the country paper, usually unassumingly, is a leader in shaping the decisions of his towns- people in those progressive undertakings which affect the common welfare. No matter if the people of the rural sections are coming more and more to look to the city papers for their news of world hap- penings—they still depend for friendly counsel and advice upon the judgment of someone within their own community circle who has proved himself de- pendable and wise. “So it is a matter of no little importance, con- sidering the magnitude of the subject, that the country press of the United States has enlisted whole- heartedly to fight the battle of temperance and law enforcement. The isque will be inter- esting, if not spectacular, Allied with the destruc- tive liquor interests are many of the larger daily and weekly papers published in the cities. For some reason which the editors and owners of these papers of large circulation have not publicly dis- closed, they have persisted in their effort to dis- courage a complete enforcement of the prohibition law. Many of them have allotted generous space to news detailing the manner in which the law is violated, and not a few have, by editorial comment sought to popularize the campaign of nullification. “Now comes the country editor and his thousands of clear-thinking and unprejudiced brethern throughout the length and breadth of the land,| ready to defend and uphold the law which it has| been sought to destroy. They have no selfish mo- tive in thus enlisting on the side of right. They are committed to the cause by their realization that the best interests of themselves and of the people and industries which they seek to protect demand that obeyed. The tainted money of the bootlegger and the brewer hay not influenced them to betray the people whose confidence they have gained and desire to keep. They feel a personal responsibility. They are not tempted to sell, at any price, the friendships of a lifetime. “The inclination is to believe that no evil influ- ence is powerful enough to sway the sentiment of the great mass of yoters in the United States} against so powerful an ally of national righteous- ness. It was the strength of the moral force in the agricultural states that made possible the early enactment of the law which the enemies of society are now seeking to nullify. This same courageous | electorate will see to it that no backward step is| taken. No editor of a country paper need apologize} to his patrons and friends for liis stand in support) of the law. They are with him, jnst as the loyal and) progressive people everywhere are steadfast in sup-| port of good government and civic decency.” (Take No Chances Fourteen thousand lives is too heavy a toll to be taken in automobile accidents in one year. Yet that is the official record for the United States} for the past year. Efficient as we believe ourselves to be in all things it is strange that we cannot find some way to reduce this needless waste of human life. Rigid laws, drastic regulations, strict exam- inations for drivers, have in turn been recommend- ed and employed as preventives. In addition other and equally vigorous remedies have been tried as experiments. In fact almost every suggestion made for the purpose of reducing automobile fatalities has been tried in some form, somewhere. In spite of it all the total score grows as val. uable lives continue to be snuffed out with great regularity. To say that the situation produces no alarm in the country is to speak an untruth. And to say that the problem is receiving no consideration is also false. The best equipped minds in the world have been and still are depoted to this vital problem. That there is a solution, we all hope and trust: That it may come quickly, we pray. No one knows just what moment one near and dear to us may be the victim. It matters little, when death ensues, who has been at fault. We get little farther than the fact that one we loved has gone from us. It would seem that with all the fatalities occur. ring operators of cars as well as pedestrians would take home to themselves the lessons accidents } jShould teach and for all future time would have first in mind the simple rules of caution and safe- ty. For some reason the lessons do not seem to be} impressed, for upon the heels of one accident an other occurs. A wealth of advice, a wealth of rules have been offered the public and the car drivers. That all of | it has availed but little may be noted in the in- crease of fatal accidents. The best we can do is to hope and take no chances. The Pity of It As a subject for newspaper space and consistent occupier of preferred position, in her day, Evelyn Nesbit had no rivals. Her doings, and comings and goings, were fed liberally to the reading public. How well the public liked it, publishers did not stop to consider, Neither did they consider what jeffect the printing of scandal, of which her life largely composed, would have upon the immature readers into whose hands their publica-} tions were sure to fall. As recalled in this day there was nothing much to say in behalf of the woman’s moral character She may have been the victim and may have lacked the early training all girls should receive from their mothers. In any event her life from early girlhood seemed to be a succession of immoral scrapes. She would have heen dropped by the way- side except for her marriage with the scion of a wealthy family, possibly more irresponsible than herself. Since the termination of the almost endless “Thaw Case,” and her subsequent divorce Evelyn dropped from public view except for rare inter. vals, when her suicide would be reported, or the fact that she had taken up cabaret dancing for u livelihood. All the while the newspaper space oc. cupied grew less and less. Later came a paragraph dealing with her arrest charged with possession and sale of narcotics. Now comes a three line press report of her arrest for possessing and drinking liquor in a public cafe at Atlantic City. That will about mark the end of the attention she will receive at the hands of reporters and pub- jlishers. She is no longer good copy, She has run her course. She is only thirty-two but she has lived achundred years. In all probability there is but one more brief newspaper notice to be accorded her. What a wreck she has made of her life and what a pity that it should be so, !

Railway to Quit SHERIDAN—Decision to petition the Wyoming state public service commission for permission to abandon street_rallway service on Main_street in this city was announced Saturday by David W. Jones, manager of the Sheridan Railway and Light company following conferences with local stock- holders of the company and city offi- cials. The decision was reached partly as the result of the move to repave Main street following the heavy storms in the early part of the week which made the wooden block pavement virtually useless to traffic for elght blocks The company’s tracks were declared to be a hindrance to the installation of sound paving by the city officials and Mr. Jones since has had under Murketing « complete Tine of itroteees prodisets in Coterado, Mexico, Utah, Iduho and consideration a plan for quitting the Main street track.

These westbound “lady hoboes” range in age from eighteen to twenty years. Some of them have won local beauty contests, but the prizes apparently never included railroad fare to Los Angeles. A recent tourist reported | counting nearly two hundred girls! walking west on the Lincoln Highway in Nebraska alone. Thirty were col- lege graduates on pleasure hikes to the Colorado mountains and eighteen were waltresses or servants seeking Jol and following Horace Greeley’s immortal advice. All the rest were girls and women bound for Movieland. Many were totally with: out funds, ‘Apiaries Destroyed LODGE GRASS.—Fire completely destroyed the plant of | the Lodge Grass apiaries.
