EMERSON THE MAN OF TODAY FOR WYOMING
OF TOMORROW
Cheyenne Tribune)

This is indeed an age of rapid changes in which we live.
Telegraph, telephone, radio and the like, follow each other in
rapid succession. There are even greater advances to come in
the near future through the medium of applied science. Like
the individual, a state to be progressive and to be prosperous
must assimilate and apply these new discoveries of science and
invention to the development of its own resources and the solu-
ton of its problems.
Water power that is the magic word, in which lies the
economic future of WyOmng-harnessing the mighty giant,
liquid motor power, which idly flows through our state today.
Electrical energy from water power. Cheap electrical energy
to haul our trains; to do our work on our farms and ranches; to
mine the hidden mineral treasures beneath our feet, to drive the
machinery in our sugar factories, wooden mills, packing plants,
and other industrial plants; to produce and refine our oils; and
to do a thousand other useful things, concerning which we have
no present ideas.
Visionary, perhaps-but not in the light of the developments
which have taken place in the last decade. The water power age
quarreling and fighting with reference to certain water power
rights on the Colorado river, to know that it is upon us. And
this is but the faintest rumble of the fight for water power
sites yet to come.
On guard, Wyoming! You have at least five great rivers
rising within your borders, which are fed by your lakes and
streams. The control of these rivers holds the industrial destiny
of Wyoming. When once water power rights have become vested
IN other states, the courts have said we cannot use those waters
so as to interfere with such rights. The soil of Wyoming then
becomes but a rightof-way to carry anothers water.
In a recent speech before the State Bankers association,
ing our waters. The Senator's remarks were timely and well
taken.
The time to prepare for the future is now-not tomorrow.

CODY'S NEXT IMPROVEMENT

With the water bonds, the sewer bonds, and last and least
the electric light bonds, the property owner may well have a
horror" OF tax paying time, but there is still another improve
ment which must be made before Buffalo Bills town can be
more than a trough place. in the road. This Improvement is
the paving of Sheridan avenue. 1t will cost quite a piece of
money to pave Sheridan avenue, but it is also costing quite a
sum OF money to use Sheridan avenue in it's present condition.
1t could be improved, no doubt, without paving, but that would
cost a considerable amount of money, and the Improvement
would have to be repeated from year to year, with an ever in
creasing cost as traffic grows greater.
Good roads and paved streets are not a luxury where the
use of them is as great as it is on Cody's main thoroughfare
The automobile user is paying for the paved road each year,
whether he is getting the advantages of it or not. The rack
and wear on the cars, the discomfort of their use, the KNOCK"
1T gives to the town, and the hundred and one disadvantages of
a rough and rutty street through town more than offsets the
cost of the paved road.
In many towns this improvement has been secured through
cooperation of the state highway department and the federal
bureau of roads. This cooperation can be secured for Cody, and
the net cost to the county and the local taxpayers will be less,
when figured over a period of ten years, than the cost of keep
ing up the main thorofare in its present .unusable condition.
Paving Sheridan avenue is not going to appeal greatly to
the average taxpayer who owns property fronting this street,
but it is a project which will bear investigation, and one which
will commend itself to those who are looking forward to the
best interests of the town, and to the best investment to make
over a long period. A graveled road will never handle the traffic
on main street without c ontinual costly maintenance and i'm
provement. A good paving job will be almost a permanent in
vestment, and will be the best investment and finest improve
ment Cody could secure.

THE CODY ENTERPRISE

The state of Wyoming needs a capable champion at the head of
our state government to work and fight constructively for the
future of our commonwealth. The time has passed when one
must be considered a politician or a social leader to become gov
ernor. During the next four years, our state will face one of
the most critical and vital periods in its history. The lack of
competent and constructive leadership during that time will have
a far-reaching effect. Whatever may have been our shortcom-
ings in the past our future is before us.
AS each day brings us closer to Tuesday, November End,
it becomes more and more apparent that Frank Emerson is the
man the people of Wyoming need and want as governor. No
citizen of our state, nor of the Rocky Mountain region for that
matter, is so well qualified to fight our battles and to solve our
problems. He is not a politician. He has been trained for the
job, both in the school of books, and the school of experience.
Like his successful friend and admirer, Herbert Hoover, he is
an engineer by profession, and that is exactly the kind of an
age in which we live.

wants a canal from Lake Michigan
to the Gulf of Mexico, and the
people of the United States ought
to have it. Congressman from Tex

in the union, should work for it.
A canal connecting Lake Mich

tablish transportation by inland
water ways between Houston, st.
Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, Omaha
and all the great lake cities.
And the thing could be done
with the few of the cores of mil

canals and other enterprises.
Some day this nation will realize
that it pays to develop your own

the advice of a lecturer before

up their heels. raised their voices
and heightened their compilations.
Mr.. Codyite, do you buy those
things in Cody which can be easily
obtained here, or do o send your
money to Monkey Ward and Co.?
We only ask this question to bring
to your mind the fact that these
out-of-town Ger have no in
terest in Cody except your or the
other fellows dollars. They pay
no taxes here, work none for yonr

Men have learned to take dis
aster philosophically, and to find
relief in effort.
1t was lot so in other days.
When "the great earthquake of
Lisbon" wiped out thousands of
lives and destroyed a city, many
lost their faith in God and in
Eternal Justice. as others lost their
lives and property.
The earthquake and dreadful fire
came on Holy day. when the church
es were packed with worshippers.
Roofs of churches and cathedrals
fell in, crushing great numbers,
even as they knelt, imploring Di-
vine mercy.
The day has passed when a ma
tural disaster could be made a con-
vincing argument for a shallow
atheism. Men have lost much of
their superstition, without losing
their faith in eternal wisdom and
justice.
We know that natures laws work
.eternally and evenly, and it is for
man to rely on his intelligence and
science, not on protecting miracles.
