MORE if the time for it's retire
ment were not so close at hand.
Before | close, l want to call
attention to another trifle that
goes to help tighten the clinch
on Brunskill's affiliation with
the underworld of this city:
When Nose Barnett was OPP
Grating a joint near the Metro
politan theater, his joint was
the hangout for every class of
petty and grand" criminals.
The entire detective force were
wont to make" Moses place
as soon as they received a tip
that a wanted" crook was in
the city. If he was in town he
was sure to be found at Nose
Barnett's joint.
One morning Brunskill lined
the detective force up against
the wall and warned them that
BUT TWO DETECTIVES
FROM THAT DATE ON
WOULD BE PERMITTED TO
ENTER NOSE BARNETT'S
DEN!
In brief, HE DIDN'T WANT
NOSE PESTERED BY HAV-
ING HIS CRIMINAL GLEN
TELE PICKED UP BY THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT!
He has shown the same So
licitation for that greasy Jew
crook in the present crisis that
he showed when Nose was
working" Independently Of
the Morgan-Bevans gang.
And this, then, is the type
of man who has been called by
his cohorts, "the best chief of
police Minneapolis ever had"
Ell? Bah!
Let a special or the present
Grand Jury quiz Frank Brun-
skill as to the source of his eX-
penditures and watch Brun-
skill shrivel up. He has
drawn down the salary of po-
lice chief for approximately
four years and:
How many of you four to
five thousand per year men are

homes with furnishings said to

of the real estate? Not many.

NEWSPAPER NOT PUBLIC scoLD

1t would be comical, were it not somewhat pOthetic, the way
newspaper offices are besieged every day by their friends, urging
them to roast" this and that; to see to it" that this and that
is corrected; to- have this and that done in the city or county;
to start this and that kind of movement to correct evils in the
state government. These friends actually appear to believe
But a self-respecting newspaper, though ready and willing
to carry all reasonable responsibility, must remind its readers
that they-the people-are the authority upon whom rests the
responsibility for the present state of affairs local, state and
national.
A self,respecting newspaper tries to report the news of
what actually happens, not what it might wish had happened.
The relation of a self-respecting newspaper to the general public
is not always understood. 1t is the duty of a newspaper to be
of public policy.
This relationship cannot exist where favors are asked and
granted. Honesty is the only policy for a newspaper.
If the directors don't like the way things are going, they
should qualify as voters and then raise cain about it-Cheyenne
Tribune.

PROTECTION AGAINST THIEvERY

With the unusual influx of strangers into our. city, petty
thieving and for that matter, grand larceny will undoubtedly be
practlced here considerable this summer, and at the present time
the sheriff is being kept on the run endeavoring to locate stolen
articles of every description.
The best protection a person can have against thievery is
to take reasonable precautlon IN the carelo of his own property.
He would not expect to have his money safe if he left it about
his door yard, or III the street and he must not expect the law
to guarantee him protection against thieving of other kinds of
property if it is not given at least a reasonable protection by its
owner.
Last week there were at least two reports turned in of tires
stolen from automobiles. In both cases the cars were parked
at the curb all night long and the tires stolen were not even
locked to the car! Theft records of larger cities show that
few cars which are adequately locked are stolen, nor is other
property if sincerely protected. If the property owners of Cody
wish to retain their property, they must at least give that
property some semblance of protection.
The editor hopes that no one will interpret the above article
as condoning auto thievery. Far be it from such. There is
no greater problem in the United States today that the COM
batting Of this character of crime, and the best officers can
do will only alleviate it to a partial extent, but in justice to
yourself and to the officers, everyone should give his property
the greatest amount of protection, and then if thefts accur the
OFFICERS will do their best to bring the guilty parties to Justice.

DRUNK or SOBER THEY NEVER SAID IT

Be it known to. the Cody Enterprise and to all Park county,
that no Powell person in authority drunk or sober, ever made
such an agreement or limited at such an agreement"
This peculiar statement and denial came from Brother Baird
wonderrnent that Powell was holding a July Fourth celebration
ON the same day as the Stampede, when not so long ago a dele
cation from that place expressed the idea that the county fair
should be held at Powell and that the entire county should join
with Cody at Stampede time.
1t makes little difference to the editor of the Enterprise how
made and at that time a delegation from the Cody Club went
with a delegation of Powell businessmen, before the county com
missioners and asked for an appropriation from county funds for
the financing of a county pair. We don't mind being told that
we are talking through our hat, o that we are lying if the
Tribune wishes to say so, for the people of Powell and Cody have
disagree over a small thing like a county fair or a July celebra-
ton.
The Stampede has been held for eight years and it is getting
bigger and better each year. Before the Stampede was in
augurated, Cody held a county fair for fifteen years, and the
fair association owns its own grounds and equipment. Powell
has been endeavoring to hold a county fair for several years,
and is very well located for such an exhibition. 1t seems only
fair to Powell that it should have a fair if it wishes to, and a
July Fourth celebration too, and for that matter and as many
more occasions as it is wished to stage there. Cody hopes to
continue the Stampede shows which occur at a time when we
have a maximum number of visitors here to entertain, and as
has been demonstrated in years past, we can have a most credit
able fair if we wish.
shall have but who is going to pay the fiddler. Under the
present arrangement Cody is holding a Stampede. 1t is not
asking the tax payers of the lower valley one red cent to pay
the bill. However county funds to the amount of $1,000 or
more are being turned over to finance the fair at Powell, and in
addition to that the merchants of Cody are being solicited for
advertising in the fair program. 1t is mighty fine for the fair
to be held at Powell where we frankly think it should be held,
but it seems to be poor craftsmanship for that town to stage
a counter celebration on the same date of the only big event of
the year at Cody.

VALUE OF A NAME

What's in a name? The answer for generations back has
been nothing" True a rose by any other name would smell
as sweet but try to sell it under a different name if you would
better estimate the value of a name.
The name of Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar and Napoleon
evacuated walled cities, turned whole armies into disastrous
retreat, and conquered empires. Those names obtained their
magic from the deeds of their owners.
Because his name might have been Smith would not have
prevented Shakespear from writing his classic tragedies and in
spite of their common names George Washington and Abraham
Lincoln won immoral fame. Genius is as accidental as its name.
And yet American manufacturers spend millions annually
on names. For the purpose of establishing a trade name
business enterprises conduct nationwide and even worldwide
advertising campaigns. To many manufacturers the name of
their product is their fortune, a fortune which could not be
amassed without the aid of advertising.
Modern business has learned that the three essentials for
success in merchandising are a worthy product, a trademark
and an adequate advertising campaign. Advertising is as
essential to retail business as to the manufacture.

tse. They come, like successful burglars, when we expect them
least. eff only we had known !" we cry with vain regret. But
with trimmed lamps. These others seized what might have
been our own, and all our boast of what we might have done
had our .luck" been different is unavailing.
What is luck? Most of the time it means to be in the
right place at the right moment. The one who Isl there is the
winner over one who is elsewhere. And he who is there must
be present not simply in the physical sense; he must attend
with all his facilities. AS Shakespeare reminds us, it is of no
use to have our eyes open if their sense is shut A sentinel
may be at his post, but he if futile if he sleeps.
Thus to recognize and to improve the opportunity one must
be broad awake to it with the keen edge of the senses whetted.
The worker who brings only part of his mind to his task is not
worth the whole of the pay he draws. He will miss chances
not merely for himself-those that quickly seized may promote
his own fortunes-but for the concern that when it secured his
services supposed that it was getting every bit of the man he is
He must not expect q workers pay unless he serves with all
his senses aware.

THE A N GOES BY

A man does not always know his chance when it comes to
him, but if he let's it pass, he will learn in time that it went BY
Then, too late, he will overwhem himself with reproaches for
not Selling the golden opportunity.
Business men decry hardness in those whom they employ,
for that means not simply the waste of time that should be
spent in work, but the failure to be present when opportunity,
coming without warning, knocks peremptorily and, being I'M
answered, summarily departs, Returning belated, one may listen
eagerly for a repetition of that summons to rise and confront
Destiny face to face, but it does not come. The great chance
appeared unheraled and found us wanting and went away, leav-
ing no address with which we may communicate.
For our chances do not come with brass-band music and
pennons waving. They stealthily approach; they seldom adver-
