Ever since the opening OF the south
entrance to the Yeuowstone National
park. people have been asking me
what VIZ were going to do toward
bringing people through c2spsrr To
my mind there r. but one thing to DO.
and that Is what ! have Away urged
make the Yellowstone highway the
one great paved highway of the state,
before trying TO pen up other and
far moro costly territory Open up
the wind River canyon rad first
When that IL done. Riverton win build
with state aid. a good road to connec
with the Yellowstone highway. Tners
Is already a very good road from Riv
crton to Lander, and 1t win naturally
become a feeder to the Yellowstone
highway The Yellowstone highway
Is the one great natural artery OF
commerce for the whole state of wyo-
ming. feeding as It does more than
50 per cent OF our population. and
carrying fully ninety per cent OF the
tourist trade 1t needs 20 be paved
from n mt To h other. 1t means
. saving in the cost of living to a
OF h state. Motor roads and motor
lines are coming.
And right here. for your information
let me tell o that In addition TO its
central depot for railroad trains, Los
Angeles has a Union station for au-
tomohtie stages. whence daily over 500
motor buses ply their ways to the
north. south. east and west Ito any
where and everywhere in hat local
land latitude. The arrival and de-
parture OF the motor stages are cried
throughout h huge station. which in
every respect Is n replica OF the mod
ern railroad depot Time cards may be
had for the asking the travellers pur-
chase tickets instead OF paying cash
fares; the buses are commodious and
camfortable- Travel by auto stage is
minus the dust. dirt. turmoil and oon-
fusion connected with all journeys.

THE FORUM OF PUBLIC OPINION.

The New York Times. the leading Democratic or
gan Of the country, has raised the question, "Has the
time arrived when it is safe for a railroad to rely upon
the goodness of its cause in the forum of public
opinion?"
The answer is easy and. simple, The time has not
only arrived. IT has long been here. Perhaps always.
When it was safe for q railroad or any other concern
or institution, or to go farther, any individual, to rely
upon the goodness of its or his cause in the forum of
public opinion.
The American people believe in n square deal and
always have. Where there is a lack of full informa-
ton, the people may act unwisely, but that is no fault
of theirs. The .wisest man who ever lived would make
mistakes If compelled to act without a full knowledge
of facts. But give the people of the United States a
fairly good understanding of the issues involved and
the facts on both sides and they will react a conclu-
sion as sound and as fair as would be reached by a.
commission composed of selected men, who, very
likely, would be influenced by prejudices which do NOT
actuate the average citizen.
The assertion that the people cfn be trusted to de-
eide fairly a question submitted to the forum Of pub
lie opinion, is not a mere ipse divig, nor an attempt
to fatter the average citizen. These has been a DEM
onstration which justifes the confidence expressed. A
few years ago, there was enacted in Missouri what was
in the interest of railway workmen and against the
interest of the railway owners. It provided for the
employment of not less than a certain number of men
on a railway train. The railway owners asserted that
the number required by the law was unnecessary. The
spokesman of the railway workers got the law through,
nevertheless, and it was submitted to the vote of the
people under the referendum.
The railway managers were scared. They thought
the people would look at the issue this way: The en-
actment of the law will give employment to more peo-
pie, it will give us better service, and the railways will
have to pay the bill. But the people did not look at
it that way. Just what their line of reasoning was,
no one can tell, but the full crew bill was overwhelfn-
ingly defeated by popular vote. 1t is probable that
sume voters thought it unfair to the railroads, others
approved it because they figured tina ultimately the in
creased cost of operating the roads would be passed on
to the Shoppers, to which class they belonged. But what
ever the hue of reasoning, the bill, generally agreed by
well inforped men to be unwise, was defeated by the
people Which shows that then, some eight or ten
,rAA~r o-1 ~ xAtar - hfreorrr o1r1l u n frnata
and the statistics do not indicate that Missouri is more
Intelligent than any other of the American states.
All that is necessary is for the railroads, or any
and fully before the people and trust in their judg-
ment. There is then no doubt of the verdict of pub
lie opinion.

AcTIvITY in

William NJ. Wood, president of the American Wool
en- Company, on his return from a tour Of Europe,
warns the United States that it has a dangerous COM
mercal competitor in Germany. 1.-The wages in Eng
land are very much lower than they are here" he
said. "Our wages are six times what they are in
France or Belgium and ten times what they are in
Germany. We cannot compete, of course, with such
labor costs, and are out of the running SO far az for
eign markets are concerned Germany is fairly teem-
ing with activity"
Mr.. Wood is only one of many who have predicted
the early industrial revival Of the defeated Central
Power. In her defeat, Germany avoids many of the
domestic problems and controversies which are delay

YOUR FRIEND
IN THE BANK

Is there someone in your bank who
smiles at you and calls you by name
when you go in?
Someone who takes an interest in
you and makes you feel that if you
ever need to confde in somebody
upon business matters you can find
help right there?
Maybe you don't expect or want
that sympathy from the people who
run a bank, but the average man and
woman does.
If you think enough of us to give
us your business, we are naturally
anxious to be of service to you. We
try to make a friend of you so that YOU

oosr OF COAL PRODUCTION

A NTEiRACITE coal producers in the schuylkin region
N OF Pennsylvania have recently submitted to the
Federal Trade Commission facts concerning the rel
ative costs OF producing coal now and in 1914
The figures apply only to anthracite coathe kind ordi-
narily used in the heating stoves Of households. They
show that the total cost OF ton at The mine in 1921 is
s56i as compared with s242 in 1914 increase OF
about i33 per cent.
The cost OF materials consumed in producing ton OF
coal has advanced from 30 cents ton to S0 per ton
while the cost Of miners has increased from %
cents to s9i The other items Of increase chiefly
in labor other than miners wages, such cost Of tun
nelng, labor after the coal has been mined, taxes and
administration The figures also show that the ton Of coal
produced at cost OF s56 was sold for SSH a profit
of cents
That information makes pretty good showing in de-
fense OF the coal producer Few will assert that he is
making unreasonable profit But the general public
would be pleased to a statement from dealers who
handle that ton OF coal after leaves the possession Of
the mine operator and before II gets TO the bins OF the
consumer.

They did not want as Commander

Chief Executive of the republic,

predatory money power; they did not
want a hand-plant who wore the
halter Of predatory man power. They

was his own master; who had proved
his superiority by his own effort:
who was within himself equipped to
meet the superman and their repre-
sentatives in any field of activity
that might arise with world powers.
They knew the records of Jeffer-
son and Lincoln in the demand that
big paths for Uncle Sam be built
from ocean to ocean. from gulf to
lakes, interstate transcontinental ar
teries. with intersecting veins, to de-
velop internal territory; to improve
agricultural conditions; they knew
that Jefferson started to build such
highways from public land sales;
they knew that If the plan a. JEFF

such roads had been continued to the
day of Lincoln, as Lincoln said, the

vented the war between the States.
Those men knew what Coleman
dupont had done in paying expense
TO induce unfit legislators, national,
State. county. municipal. to improve
| highways; they knew of his success
in each and every undertaking in
which he had been engaged; they
knew he was equal to the best spe-
cialist in any line of activity; they
needed, they wanted, an original,
not a substitute; a master, not an
overseer; a builder, not a contractor;
in fact, in the third crisis. they
wanted, and needed, a superman.

until his pick uncovered wealth.
When the gang yelled oppressive
riches. men knew how DUPONT had
built fortunes for boys and girls who
had grown rich by-working with him
and following his magic lead.
They wanted a man, not mani
kin. They would have fiocked 20 him

theirs, built this republic and they
wanted one of their own breed at
the helm during a coming crisis.
Little did they care if he were pla-
