This city and county and state NAV well take pause and
slider the loss which was sustained by all three when William
at the same time contemplate the wonderful achievements of his
long and active career. n I'D
OF the business, social, fraternal and political life of a great State
from the time that its broad acres were the haunts of wild Indians
and traversed by millions of wild animals and the few nardy
pioneer settlers protected by a handful of federal troops.
Yet this great transformation of a wilderness into a State of
MONIES, ranches, schools, churches, popuous cities and contented
towns has all come to pass during the span of years covered by the
life OF William Daley since the day when he as a young man came
to the boundless west, before the railroad. and far in advance of
all the comforts and conveniences of our modern civilization.
Beginning life in New Brunswick as a carpenter and later
taking up the trade of shipbuiding, he came about the time that
ne reached his majority, to what was known as the Rocky Noun
tain region, more than a half century ago. Since that date he had
risen by stages to the outstanding position in city, county and
been carpenter, scout, freighter, builder of roads, stock grower.
contractor, merchant and banker-and a success in every one of
these lines. He also served his city as mayor and his state as a
member of the territorial council and later as a legislator.
William Daley during his life was accorded practically every
honor which can be conferred by Masonry, in which brotherhood
he held one of the highest ranks in the United States. He was the
valued friend of many of the leading men of the country and was
known and highly respected from Coast to Coast and yet, notwith-
standing this, he was the most kindly and approachable of men,
ready at any time to instruct or advise or to share with the young
the fund of his vast experience of pioneer DAYS.
The comprehensive term of Empire Builder may we'll be ap
piled to the life and activities of William Daley. for he was that
in truth. During the wears of slow transition from a barren waste
to a prosperous and fruitful state he was always a participant
never a mere spectator. always advocating forging ahead, never
counseling a retrograde movement. Up to within a day or two
Of his passing he was active in civic and social affairs.
The city of Rawlins will sorely miss this good and true man
who has gone to his reward. yet the thought so beautifully ex-
to mind: What could be more in accord with the eternal fitness
Of things than that a man who has lived more than his Biblical al
lotment of years. who has never shirked his duty. who has always
toiled manfully and borne the heat and burden Of the day. who has
been kind to the weak and defied the strong. should. like a tired
boy, lie down to rest, his journey ended and his task accomplished
for he has gone to a rest well deserved. He fought the GOOD fieht
he finished the course and he kept the faith. His life will be an
example and an inspiration to generations yet to come.

EVANSTON LIGHT MANAGER
HONORED AT DENVER MEET

H. l.. Williams, formerly of Raw
Inns, where as manager of the local
electric light company he made a
host of friends, was unanimously
elected a member Of the governing
body of the Rocky Mountain Com
mittee on Public Utility Information
ut the annual meeting of that organ
ization in Denver this week. Mr..
| Williams has been identified with the
committee since it was formed one
year ago for the purpose of dis
seminating Information relative to
the public utility industry in Wyom-
ing, Colorado and New Mexico.
According to the Evanston Times
Mr.. Williams is known nationally in
public utility circles, especially in
the electric field. Since becoming
identified with the tri-state informa-
ton organization he has been large
ly responsible for many of its activ-
tiles which have served to bring
about a keener appreciation and bet
ter understanding of the public serv-
ice business On the part of the Gus
toners. Mr.. Williams was n of the
first to realize and recognize the
value of newspaper advertising and
other progressive methods of build
ing public good will and understand
ing and to apply them to his bust
ness.

LOCAL RAILROAD SERVICE

We Of Rawlins, and in fact all Wyoming towns and cities To-
Gated along the line Of the Union Pacific railroad, from Cheyenne
to Evanston, take frequent occasion to express our satisfaction
over the fact that we are located ION the main line of the country's
greatest transcontinental railroad"
This boast is no doubt pardonable because It Is true, but in
making It we should not fail to place the necessary emphasis on
the word "transcontinental," for the treatment accorded its loyal
boosters by the great Union Pacific leaves much to be desired. A
man in New York city has but to express the intention Of visiting

machinery to lift the level Of Ameri
can politics. The Tribune suspects
that all the devices In the world
would not make a better Congress
of the present Representatives and
Senators. Nor would Dr.. Buffers
plan put better men there. The new
and growing spirit of independence
within the parties will probably help
as much as anything toward that
end. Nor is that any real contra
diction of the two-party system. 1t
is simply insisting that the slowly
growing political wisdom and inde-
penderce of the American voters
make themselves felt through the
old political machinery that has

What's the Use Of Growing Up ?

That there are mental short cuts
which the keenest psychologist cam
not grasp is evident enough from
the feats of the chess prodigy, Sam
uel Rzeschewski.. Here is boy, ten
years old. who has given equal bat
tie to some Of the l4pest players Of a
game Of pure intellect which many
persons who cut large swaths in
various fields of endeavor have not
the hardihood even to attempt.
If Sammy can do that there is
nothing within the realm Of mental
ity that boys and girls cannot con-
ceivably do. The thought suggests
itself that the day will come when
the human brain will be properly
wound up in infancy. There will be
no need Of lower or higher educa-
ton. The eugenic child spontane-
ously and sagaciously will accept
the universe, including our tiny
globule of it and the machinery
thereof, as Sammy does the rocks
and bishops. He will need no wise
professors to show him how the
wheels go round. Fordney- Cum
Der tariffs will be erected by legisla-
tors in high chairs. Einstein's the
ory will be controverted by astrono-
mers Of the nursery.
Master Rzeschewski has proved
that years don't count for much in
cerebral athletics. In grosser games
few of them make lot Of differ
cnce. Put the little chess master in
the Yale Bowl and he would be taken
down a peg. Or let him try the
100-yard dash with the college
sprinters. Yet Sammy might remind
them that they haven't much to
brag Of. Ten seconds is about their
limit, but Tuck O. Drum, the whip
pet, went them three seconds better
on Long Island the other day, and he
was in the puppy stakes at that.

Power Gone Mad

I. Nevet has the blight of Tammany
rule, as evemplified ia Boss Murphy,
been better described than in the
words of Surrogate Cohalan, who
told a great meeting Tuesday night
why Murphy is seeking to throw him
off the bench.
Said Mr.. Cohalan:
"What is this mysterious thing
called the machine? We see it's in
fluence on all sides. 1t seeks to
shape legislation and control the adj
ministration of the laws. 1t at
tempts to direct and deliver the
votes of the legislators. 1t grants OR
withholds the smallest permit nee
essary to the humblest among us in
making the slightest alterations in
the home, or in the workshop, or in
the place of business.
ut assumes to be above the law.
1t pretends to speak for the people
and yet it is the personification of
selfshness. 1t makes a mockery Of
democracy and q jest of our institu-
tions. 1t makes and unmakes public
men, decides without consultation or
discussion the party's platform, and
uses, when it can, as a piece Of per-
sonal property, the election ma
chinery designed to express the will
of the people.
"Here in our midst it is individual
power gone mad-the will of one
man, and that man Charles F.
Murphy"
Here is an arraignment &C bossism
which for force and clearness and
compression is difficult to surpass. 1t
was spoken by a man who has
studied Murphy at close hand and
knows what he is talking about.
The same arrogant despotism that
now seeks to depose Cohalan because
he was an independent judge told
the 734 delegates to the Democratic
convention whom to nominate for
every office on the state ticket and
exactly what should be written in
their platform.
If Murphy succeeds in his raid or
the bench there will be no judicial
Office secure from him hereafter.
The fight that Mr.. Cohalan and his
friends are making is not fight for
an individual; it is a fight to keep
the hand of Murphy, now firmly
clenched about the city government,
from reaching out and grasping the
bench, which is the last safeguard Of
the people against the evil thing tina!
Murphy represents.

Hylan and Double Fares

Commissioner McAneny knew
whereof he spoke when he char
acterized Mr.. Hylan as "the double
fare Mayor" A double fare is not
q 7-cent fare, Or an Scent fare 1t
is two fares, costing cents each.
Hundreds of thousands of the citi-
zens of New York City are now
paying these two fares when they
ride between their homes and their
places of work.
They are paying them because of
the obstacles Mr.. Hylan has placed
in the way Of the completion Of the
Transit Commissions plan for uni
fication of the traction lines, which
is the only possible means of provid-
ing single fare from any part of
the city to any other part of it. At
present each separately operated
ilne charges separate Scent fare.
Only those whose places of de-
parture and destination lie on a
single line escape with scent fare.
Were Mr.. Hylan sincerely desirous
OF establishing a single fare he
would need only to substitute CO.
operation for opposition in his rela-
tlons with the Transit Commission.
The commission was established
by state authority, which has had
charge of the transit situation in
New York City since the building
OF the first subway. 1t will remain
under state authority, whether Mr.
Hylan likes it or not, for there is
no possibility of his changing the
political complexion of the Legisla.
ture or bringing about the election
OF a Governor who is in sympathy
with his own fantastic schemes.
1 While his present attitude con.
tinues double fares will continue
And every citizen who pays secone
nickel for part of his ride between
work and home will remember Mr.
Hylan as the double fare Mayor.

The Excluded Mayfower

The Nova Scotian point Of view,
printed in another column, about the
exclusion of the Mayfower from
the international fishermen's regatta
lays special emphasis on the fact
that the Mayflower is too much of
a "yacht." Just when a fisherman
becomes "yacht" is not made clear.
But because the Mayfower is Of an
unusual build, with great possibili-
ties for speed, she is declared not
to be of the type Of practical fishing
schooner needed in the Lunenburg
trade, which specializes in freight
ing and in marketing salt fish,
whereas the Gloucestermen make
quick trips to the Banks for fresh
fish.
There can be no quarrel with the
right of the regatta committee to
confine the race to a certain type
of boat. This intent, however, was
not made clear in the beginning, and
failure to explain it is in part re-
sponsible for the criticism made by
the Mayfower's friends.
The exclusion from the race of
new types which may develop quail
ties of value to the entire fishing
trade materially lessons the interest
and the value of the fishermen's re-
gatta. One Of the most appealing
things about these races was the
fact that they held the promise Of
being of practical as we'll as of
sporting value. If they are con-
fined to accepted types Of ships
alone they lose all Importance ex-
cept as sporting events.

Franklin's First Home

To the unknown public benefactor
who has offered to purchase Frank
Inns first home in Philadelphia, so
that it be not destroyed, the nation
should be grateful. Such landmarks
are only too few, and their historic
value is commensurably great.
Franklin later lived elsewhere In
Philadelphia. But there is especial
interest in the fact that to this house
the young boy first came, nearly two
hundred years ago, there to live as
he made his way as a printer in
Philadelphia. Every one remembers
the picture which he gives in his
autobiography Of his arrival ia the
city early on a Sunday morning, wet
from the rain and making a sorry
sight as he walked down the street
with huge loaf Of bread under
each arm, knowing not where to go
or what to do with himself.
Franklin was the forerunner of
peculiarly American type. His rise to
world prominence entirely through
his own efforts, without the advan-
tages of wealth and comfortable
education which Washington, for ex-
ample, enjoyed was to become
common story. Washington had
some of the qualities and inherited
many of the traditions Of the Eng
lish country gentleman. Franklin
had all the best qualities of the self
made man. To these qualities he
added versatile mind and a philo-
sophical intellect which made him
not only one Of the great men of his
day but one of the greatest Ameri-
cans Of all time.
1t would indeed be a shame to
have his first home in Philadelphia
DESTROYED.

"The Book Is Out"

The librarians definition Of
Utopia as "the place where there are
enough copies Of Mark Twain, Dick
ems, O. Henry and Stevenson for
those who want them" brings home
forcibly the present shortage of the
commonest books in the public IL
braries.
There is something pathetic in the
description given in last Mondays

and grown-ups through the libra

tion or entertainment, and being
again and again told that the books
which they want are out. 1t would

of new books. The library naturally
cannot keep sufficient supply tc
meet the demand for expensive re.

it Is to the credit Of the committee
that they have had the courage to re-
sist, and thereby they have been able
to prevent the establishment Of 8
precedent which would in time surely
have changed the nature of this an
nual sporting event entirely. The May
flower is not being rejected for any
other reason than the fact that she
Is not the type of vessel that the con-
test is intended to encourage.
1t is significant that the Bluenose
has not been in any way open to the
same objection that is made with re-
spect to the Mayhower. And yet OBJ
lection would surely have been made
by many other Lunenburg shippers, all
of whom are anxious to find place for
their vessels, if objection were possi-
ble.. They would rule out the Blue
nose as we'll as the MayHower if they
could, but they have to accept the
Bluenose as entirely conforming to
the requirements. They are sports
enough to try to see If their seaman
ship cannot make up for the deficien-
cies that their own vessels may have
as compared with others that are
strictly bankers" but they do not
propose to race against yacht. If
they could only find that the Bluenose
is yacht, they would gladly have her
eliminated, but they do not even sug-
gest that this is the case. The May
flower, however, is in a different cate
CORY, being primarily racer and but
Ill fitted for the combined duties of
fishing and freighting; hence the pro-
test against her.
We have heard objections raised to
the Mayfower because she Is owned by
"a number Of people who are not fisher
men and who have had nothing hith-
erto to do with vessels. There is moth
ing IN such talk as this-certainly
nothing to disqualify the vessel: for
