A Deserved Tribute.

Griffin Co~chrane, State Editor
Wyoming Tribune pays the following
deserved tribute to g.. A. Cook, the
very popular and able city editor of
the Laramie Republican
mo one questions the right of Geo.
A. Cook to the laurels that belong to
the best newspaper reporter in Wyo-
ming. Mr. Cook has been city editor
of The Laramie Republican for the
past eight years, landing at Laramie
from Missouri. W. E. Chaplin, edi-
tor of the Republican, says that Cook
began to hit the ball the day he ar
rived and the reputation Of the Re-
publican for being one Of the news
lest papers in all Wyoming shows
that G.. A. has maintained his batting
average ever since.
when the Tribune saw its oppor-
tunity to get out Of the country daily
class and started in to be a newspa-
per of statewide circulation influence
and interest, G. A. Cook was the first
out of town correspondent secured,
and this month also ends his eighth
year as a Tribune correspondent
Everybody in Laramie knows Cook
and likes him, especially the railroad
men, and the preachers, and the Uni
versity faculty and the students and
the grocers and the politicians and
the people at the courthouse and the
ranchmen and the schoolboys and
women and the mayor and the Tall

The following dispatch is from
Rawlins:
Rawlins, Wyo., April 13.-The
municipal election here today devel-
oped a Democratic landslide. G. W.
Morgan was elected mayor and Christ
opher Brown trustee for the term OF
three years. Under a new state law
the use of carriages was not permits
sible and many women did not vote.
The above item contains two signi-
ficant differences. One is that women
are not Democrats as a rule, and the
other is that women will not vote I'M
less hauled to the polls in carriages.
The first assumption is much more
to their credit than the second.
A woman should be a Republican
by the very nature OF things, because
the Republican party is the party of
practical reform. That a woman or
any large number of women should
fail to vote just because a carriage is
not sent for her cannot be condemned
too severely. Carriages under the
old system in Cheyenne made it nee,
essary for candidates for poorly paid
offices to spend $1,000 a day, which
would be saved if a woman walked to
the polls 'llke a man."
This is a matter that should be dis
cussed in the clubs and wherever a
few women are gathered together, to
the end that the recent law seeking
to purify elections may be indicated.
Surely women in the first equal suf,
ferage state will not refuse to vote
unless they are given a free ride and
a glass of pink lemonade. Wyoming

IT WILL COME ABOUT.

The statement published in this
paper yesterday that the farmers OF
Whitman county Washington, are
raising corn with success upon sum-
mer fallow land is interesting. The
work the eastern Washington men
are now doing is in line with what
the East Oregonian has long advo-
Gated for the farmers of Umatilla
county.
As to- whether or not corn may be
raised with success in this county Is
6 point that must be ascertained by
experience. But corn is not the only
thing that may be raised aside from
wheat. Field peas, vetch and alfalfa
may all be grown upon the wheat land
of this county. Such crops are now
being raised to a limited extent upon
dry land in this county. AS the va
rieties raised become better accli-
mated the yields will doubtless be-
come greater and greater. Farmers
will then gradually take up the plan
o. rotating crops rather than summer
following half of their land each
year. AS they take up with the idea
of more intensified farming they will
reap greater profits, their land will
become more valuable and the coun-
try will become more thickly peopled.
Intensified farming furnishes the
key that will unlock the door to the
further development of this county
and of other counties of eastern Ore
gon. 1t may be a gradual process and
it may take years to accomplish the
transformation, but in the course of
time the door will be opened and there
will be a wonderful change in the
farming methods of this county

POWER THE WIZARD.

Before the advent of the American
west Nautilus, the great European
economist, had asserted tersely that
"the ultimate check to population is
| the lack of food" while in our own
times Roosevelt has decried against
| the tendency TO curtail the population
expressed by the term race suicide" q"
because there was plenty of food for
those who wished to produce it. In
1900 the population of Europe was
100000. In 1900 it was 00,00O,
900; therefore, in 100 years there
had been an increase in population
of 20,000,000 souls in spite of the fact
that the immigration to this country
had increased our population to SO,-
10000 of people, and during a time
when the population of all of the rest
of the world had increased by only
100,000,000 inhabitants. 1t is evil
dent, then, that something must have
occurred since Malthus time of
which he had no knowledge and did
not anticipate. At that time the pop
ulation of Europe seemed as large as
the land would bear, but the further
addition of 100,000,000 souls attests
that many new factors of progress
which have been put into operation
with the settling of the American
west were quickly assimilated by the
older countries of Europe, while rem
dering possible the settlement in this
country of future untold thousands
from her shores Pacific Monthly.

THE PRECEDENT BREAKER.

Leaders of men have ever been
precedent breakers. Timid people,
no matter how able, never make
leaders. Fearlessness and originality
are characteristic Of all men of prog
ress. They have no reverence for the
old simply because it is old; with
them It is always question Of push
ing forward, Of improving on the
past, instead Of slavishly copying it.
