GREAT ANXIETY IS
AROUSED BY FIRE
ON HART MOUNTAIN

Our townspeople talked with bated
breath and faces were white on Tues
day when a forest fire vas discovered
to be raging on Hart Mountain and
several of the very largest stills in
that region were in imminent danger
of destruction.
Several prominent citizens started
out to organize volunteer fire-fighting
companies and prevent the threatened
calamity. With a long cold winter in
the offing 1t was considered the height
of folly to take any unnecessary chanc
es.
On account Of the small size of the
timber, however, the fire burned itself
out, leaving the principal industry of
the Hart Mountain region intact. The
signs of relief over the happy issue
out of the impending calamity could
be heard for several city blocks.

This Time The Flock
Stays With Its Shepperd
Editorial

Some thirty months ago there came
to Cody a minister of the Gospel, tall
and lean of stature n large of heart.
local church.
With heart set upon prosecuting his
work in a manner which would best
promote the religion of the lowly Ma
zarene, he sought out and cultivated
the friendship of those not only in
high places but among the by-ways
and hedges, as did the founder of
Christianity.
In the carrying out of his labors he
did not neglect nor hesitate to upbraid
members of his own and other congre-
cations when they strayed from the
narrow path, and especially when they
displayed hypocrisy or a spirit of nal
ice not in keeping with the Christian
faith.
In his personal conduct, in politics
and in all else his life was an open
book and never was he known to shirk
a duty, either public or private.
He was a man of broad vision.
splendid ideals and noble Character
a man of a calibre not usually found
in small places. He won the regard
and friendship of those who needed
his help and his influence became an
inspiration in the community.
But as he won the regard of the
rank and file of our people, he also
acquired the i'll will of a few in sup
posedly high places who could neithe
control nor browbeat him. In utter
malice he was assailed by the few in
his own church who disagreed with
his methods and a few others who
make 1t a practice to condemn every
thing not under their own control.
In their attempts to injure this good
man they resorted to the most disgust
ing methods. He was insulted, openly
and secretly. told to leave town, called
a wet" man and a friend and associ-
ate Of unworthy persons-in fact, the
attacks made upon him can be brand
ed in no other way than as a discredit
and a disgrace to those who promul-
gated them and to the town in which
it occurred.
The minister. true to his generous
nature, bided his time patiently until
he could determine the desires of his
own congregation and the citizens of
the town in regard to his status.
Last week all doubts regarding the
matter were removed when the ques-
ton of retaining him was put up to a
vote of the members of his church.
The result of that vote was that 81 of
his congregation enthusiastically vot-
ed to endorse the man and his work
with only two voting the opposite.
In the v~indication and approval of
Rev. A. M. Shepperd, Cody and the
congregation which he rye have
taken a decided step forward and the
condemnation of his would-be defam-
ers established in a manner which is
richly deserved.
IN justice to those interested in the
affair it is but fair to state that this
article was not inspired" by any per-
son-in fact, the only mention of the
matter made to this paper by anyone
participating was a request that the
matter go unpublished, nevertheless
the Enterprise feels that it would be
remiss in its duty as a newspaper IL
1t neglected to give the facts to our
readers.

editorial: THE Republicans Of Park
County enter the campaign with al
solid 'front.'"
We are sorry to contradict Mr.. New
ton but this is not the truth.
With a single exception. and that a
precinct committeeman in honor
bound to vote the straight Republican
ticket. we have yet to come across one
person who voted against his candf-
dates at the primaries who now in
tends to vote the Republican ticket
straight.
Newton has alienated many loyal
Republicans who will not now fall into
line because he has secured the nomi-
nation of his candidates by methods
Enthusiastically n%ewtonish.
The tin.can which the new precinct
committeeman tied to Len Leander
when they thwarted him in his cher
ished ambition to be reelected state
committeeman and elected Mr.. Dilla-
YOU, will go a long way toward restor-
ing harmony. but, unfortunately. the
aforesaid receptacle was not attached
soon enough.
In his position as state committee
man L. L. Newton did things unheard
of in Park County to secure the nomi-
nation of his candidates.
The central committe is supposed to
be neutral until after the primaries
secure the election of the candidates
the people have nominated.
This is what happened:
While urging precinct committee
men who would have opposed the can
didates he favored, to be neutral, he,
himself, and those committeeman in
accord with him, were using every
means in their power to further the
interests of those they wished to see
nominated.
AT the Harmony meeting I'M the
Methodist church he Dragged that ev-
cry one of the Organizations" candi-
dates were nominated.
Whom did he mean by the "organi-
zation?" Himself, presumably. and
those Of his kind who we're in the
conspiracy to defeat those candidates
who did moi have their approval
Why should C. A. Davis have been
the organizations candidate" before
the primaries n more than John
Dahlem. Harry Wizard or TEX" Holm?
Why should s. A. Watkins have
been the Organizations candidate"
any more than Thomas Osborne?
Why should G. A Holm have beer
the Organizations candidate" any
more than E. E. Dunn or ]. D. Buchan-
an?
All of these men he opposed are as
good Republicans as h men endors-
ed in the name of the Organization"
He had the central committee, or
certain members of it, assess some
of the candidates before the primaries
$50 for campaign expenses, something
never done before in Park County, or
anywhere else so near as we can
learn.
He used this money to defeat the
candidate from whom he had taken
it-John Dahlem, for instance.
MI. Dahlem paid $50 for the privi-
lege of seeing G. A. Davis endorsed
as the Organizations candidate" in
the Herald, Mr.. Dahlem's $50 probably
going to "a for the 700 extra copies
of the issue extolling Davis's virtues.
Mr.. Newton took advantage of the
fact that the Herald as the Official pa
e printed the ballots and just be-
fore the election had sent out sample
ballots marked for Carey, Davis, Wat
kins and others endorsed by the or
ganization."
At the bottom was written: THE

Now. Mr.. Newton declares that
those defeated candidates who do not
fall into line are poor sports" and
yellow streaked cuckoos who are in
politics to get an office"
There are times when Len Lean
der's gall wrings from us a grudging
admiration.
1t may be true, quoting again from
our peerless leader, hat "the only
way you can defeat a Republican is
in the primaries" but a feeling is
prevalent that the Democrats and
those Republicans who intend to
scratch the ticket may make Mr.. New
toms hand-picked candidates look at
their hole cards occasionally during
the general election.

The Basin Republican, mumbling to
itself, grumbled some time since that
the Cody papers were continually
harping on the wet question when
there should be no wet question: and
declared that 'violators of the liquor
laws are criminals just as much as
bank robbers and thugs and should
be treated as such,' recommending
the rock pile
Perhaps We ought to lay off after
a rebuke like that, but until it
makes the New York Sun and the
Brooklyn Eagle and the Chicago Trib-
une and the Literary Digest quit harp
ing we are going on yapping against
prohibition in our column.
There are a lot of people who are
opposed to the direct primary law and
believe it does not work out as antic-
ipatd and is a bad thing and a nuis-
ance generally. Why should the Re
publican's editor not take them tc
task also for "harping'' and declare
there should be no such question?
ent.
Concerning the statement that VIC
lators of the liquor law are criminals
along with thugs and bank burglars
we would call the attention of the Re
p~ublican's editor to the fact that NJ
less G person than William Blackstone
made a very decided distinction be
tween them There are crimes "mala
per se," acts wrong in themselves
and crimes "mala prohibita," acts
wrong because prohibited by statute.
Robbery falls within one, violations
of the liuqor law within the other.
