Neither Can We
It looks as If those Cody folks who
thought they were going to vote for
town councilmen this spring are
doomed to meet the fate of the Ala
bama darky.
Down In that state they have a law
requiring a man to be familiar with
the U. S. Constitution in order to
vote. On one occasion a white man
confronted an election judge and
asked to vote. The Judge quizzed
him as follows: “The constitution
says, ’No one shall be entitled to vote
who has not attained the age of twen
ty-one years.’ What does that mean?”
Upon giving a satisfactoiy answer,
the man was allowed to vote.
Immediately following came Old
Mose, to whom the judge addressed
the following query: “The constitu
tion says: ’No bill of attainder or ex
post facto law shall be passed.’ What
does that mean?”
Old Mose scratched his head
thoughtfully for a few moments. “I
guess,” he answered, finally, “Dat
means data niggah can’t vote.”
Ancient History
We don’t know Whether the Incident
occurred near Cody or not, but we re
member of reading yeais ago about
three fellows who were hung in Wy
oming for stealing horses. The exe
cutioners strung them up to a limb
in a row and left them hanging with
this sign attached: “Three of a kind
—lynched for not havin’ horse sense.”

IT ALL DEPENDS
The sanctified editor of the Grey
bull Standard protests that the dis
cussions anent the preservation of
big game have grown wearisome and
adds the comment that the elk must
give way before the tide of land hunt
ers.
Os course our brother, whose favor
ite sport is occupying a reserved seat
in a damp church on prayer meetin’
night, can see nothing to the wild
game question, but there are several
million other people in this country
who are vitally interested in the mat
ter and are glad to hear It discussed.
Probably the Puritan of the Big
horn does not realize that the columns
of moralizing clap-trap run regularly
in the Standard is much more weari
some to many people than discussions
of big game.
There is a passage somewhere
about a mote and a beam in folks’ op
tics which the oil city scribe may
look up at leisure.
PLANS FOR BUFFALO BILL
MEMORIAL BEING PUSHED
Plans for a Cody memorial, to be
erected in or near this city, will be
carried to a successful consummation
if the present plans of local citizens
materialize.
At the regular weekly meeting of
the Cody Club on Monday. Mr. Ewart
presented a motion to place the mat
ter in the hands of a permanent
committee of which Clay Tyler is to
be chairman, the other members of
the committee to be named by him.
The motion was unanimously carried.
Under this .arrangement the com
mittee will have full power to act. In
the matter of deciding on the form
of the memorial, its location, the me
thod of financing the project and all
other questions connected therewith.
While the plane are as yet imma
ture. it is the expressed intention to
erect a statue to the great scout in
an advantageous location In Cody at
an expense of approximately $50,000.
Several years ago the State legis
lature appropriated the sum of $5,000
foi the erection of a memorial to Buf
falo Bill, and with this as a nest-egg
the committee will endeavor to raise
the additional amount necessary to
complete the work.
In the years of discussion regarding
this project various plans for financ
ing the movement have beenjidvanced
and the question of how to proceed
with the work will be decided upon
shortly.
One plan advanced is to put the
matter into the hands of the Boy
Scouts of America, who will be au
thorized to raise the money for the
memorial in a nation-wide canvass.
But whatever plan is ultimately
adopted. It seems reasonably assured
that under the present program this
important work will be carried thru
to a successful consummation.
CODY FISH HATCHERY
TO RESUME OPERATION
Bruce Bayne of Cheyenne, chief as
sistant to the State Game and Fish
Commissioner, accompanied Commis
sioner Bruce Nowlin on his trip to
Cody the first of the week and spent
a couple of days in this leoality inves
tigating the matter of reopening the
Cody fish hatchery, which has been,
standing idle for some time past.
While the plans for reopening the
hatchery are as yet immature. It is
the intention to resume operations
this year.
To begin with, the local plant will
probably be used as a collecting or
spawning station, at which fish eggs
will be coleeted for shipment to other
hatcheries. It is also quite likely that
hatching operations will be resumed
later, but this is a question which will
be definitely decided in the future.
