RUMSEY HAD PLATFORM
THAT SHOULD HAVE WON
How B. C. Rumesy lost the nomina-'
<ion for representative from Park
county at the recent primary has just'
come to light. It seems that Mr. Rum
sey’s failure to make the grade was
due to the same cause which brings
on failure in many other affairs —a I
lack of proper advertising. While
Rumsey was at home wrangling hors
es and dudes his opponents were go
ing about telling the voters that he
had no meritorious platform to run
on.
This was decidedly unfair to Ms.
Rumsey, as it now turns out that he
did have a platform and one which
would have swept him to victory by
an unprecedented majority had the
voters only known what he proposed
to do if he got into the legislature.
According to a friend of Mr. Rum
sey’s Bob’s ambition when he got into
the state house was to introduce and
secure the enactment of a law to es
tablish what might be known as an
interstate tariff. Uuder this act state
legislatures would be empowered to
protect their own industries by levy
ing a tariff on products imported from
other states.
Had the people of Park county
known what Mr. Rumsey proposed to
do, his vote would have practi
cally unanimous.
They point out the tremendous ben-!
efit that such a law would be to the
state of Wyoming. Take the moon
shine industry, for example. In this!
state are hundreds of honest, hard-1
working moonshiners with families to;
support working year in and year out!
to perfect and put upon the market a
product that would be at once the sur
prise and delight of our citizens. What
is the result? The reward of their in
dustry and sacrifice is to see their
product turned down by home con
sumers in favor of goods produced by
the pauper labor of Montana. Colo-!
rado and other foreign states and sold
at prices which mean ruinous compe
tion for home producers.
This is manifestly unfair to the in
xant industries of our state. They
need and demand a tariff and not
a tariff for revenue only but a tariff
for protection. Do we want our chil
dren raised up under the same condi
tions that surround the children of
the 50-cents-a-day laborers of Montana
and Colorado? We do not
It is pretty generally » conceded in
these parts that Mr. Rumsey has
struck the keynote to the future suc
cess of the politically ambitious in
Wyoming 1 , for honor and fame will
follow the man who is able to have
enacted laws which will protect us
from ruinous foreign competition.
NOT HELPING OPERATORS’ SIDE
The unnecessary suffocating and
burning of 47 workmen in a Califor
nia mine adds a good deal of public
sympathy to the laboring man’s side
in industrial disputes.
FAMOUS WRITER SAYS
WORKING AT SHOSHONE
DAM IS A MAN’S SIZE JOB
(Continued from page ()
than 6,000 acres on its surface and
300 feet deep, and unlimited light and
power.
I saw the Shoshone day when the
engineers were throuwing tfieir first
cable footways across the chasm, and
1 saw it again the other day, finished
but for its power plant, and sending
water down to desert farms fifty miles
away.
It was a cold, bright autumn day,
and the wind howled down between
dark walls that climbed from the riv
er up to where the pines—mere stub
ble against the sky— caught the sun
several thousand feet above. It was
a gale you could lean against. It
swooped across the 'lake, flinging
spray high above the crest of the
dam. And the shrieks and beating of
it, the arms of spray writhing sky
ward, seemed to give voice and a sort
of active malignancy to the dead, stu
pendous weight of water imprisoned
there.
More Thrilling Than Air Mall
The engineeer in howling
against the wind, led us along the
road that skirted the lake to a box
like cradle, about breast high, sus
pended near the dam crest from a
cable, which hung in turn from an
other cable, stretched, sagging, across
the canon, far overhead. He motion
ed for us to climb In and swung
aboard himself, legs dangling over the
side, like a small boy sitting on a
board fence.
The cable tightened, the car lifted
under us and, swinging slightly In
the gale, crept out over the abyss. I i
had just come from flying with the)
air mall from Salt Lake to San Fran-j
j cisco—seven hundred miles over;
mountains and deserts —but not even
' there had 1 been aware of quite so 1
| poignant a goodby feeling as at the
I moment we left the edge of the r >ck
1 and dangled in the gale above Sho
shone canon.
The little car—a spider running out
its thread —dropped slowly past the
cheer gray concave face of the dam,
down to the spray and thunder pf the
river, for the water, with its three
hundred feet of head behind It, came
hurtling out of the mountainside like
a small cross section of Niagara.
It’s All In The Day’s Work
We saw the turbine intakes down
there; compressed air drills were
thumping • men carrying dynamite,
i Ladders, slippery with spray and held
Iby wires to iron rods driven into ’
! cracks in the canon wall, ran up the
' face of the rock to the top of the dam ’
! —fit for circus acrobats, you might
; think, rather than for ordinary men |
in overalls and heavy boots. And yet
they, as well as the cradle in which
; they had descended, were all part of ■
! the day’s work. ;
At one place the canon wall, a sort!
of conglomerate here, had begun to
give way, and men, fastened by ropes
to solid crags farther up, were prying
loose the bowlders, to send them
crashing down to the river. These
bowlders were supposed to go under
a footway across which workmen con
stantly passed, and generally they did
go under, but sometimes they smash
ed full against It, and now and then
smaller chunks shot over the bridge
like cannon balls.
How the Troll* Were Amused
Nobody paid the least attention to
this, except the harder the bowlders
shook the supports of the footway and
the nearer they came to hitting some
body the more the genial trolls work
ing up above seemed to be amused.
Every thing about Shoshone seem
ed to be done with a similar Brob
dignagian humor. It was a man’s size
job, and man’s size men were doing
i it. from the quiet giant who was su
| perintending the work to the roomful
I of huskies whom we joined In shovel
ing in beef* and beans and bread pud
ding and coffee.
I And the whole thing, from the great
, dam itself to the spirit in which the
1 men were working, all set in this
I magnificent background of towering
I cliffs and rushing water and wind,
seemed to show one side of America
—what one might call our altruistic
materialism —at its best.
One was glad of a government
which planned and undertook such
beneficent enterprises, and of the
I husky, cheerful men who were carry
ing it through.

THEN SHE AROSE SUDDENLY
Elderly Lady Discovered She Had
Made Wrong Choice of Her
Resting Position.
It is hard sometimes for the old and
the young to arrive at a common point
of understanding. The old lady and
the Sunday school boy in this story
did finally arrive at an understanding,
but not until the boy had suffered
’ damage to his feelings, if not to his
1 possessions.
A picnic was in progress, and the
1 benevolent and elderly lady took much
' enjoyment in witnessing the delight of
■ the children who were disporting them
selves In her grounds.
She went from one to another, say
-1 Inga few kind words to each. Pres
j ently she seated herself on a grass
; plot beside Dickie, a little boy with
, golden curls and an angelic expression,
i But as soon as he observed her sitting
; beside him Dickie set up an ear-pierc
ing howl.
t "Have you the stomach-ache?” she
t asked, anxiously.
} "No, I ain’t.” snapped Dickie.
"Perhaps you would like some more
cake.”
"No!” roared the angelic child.
"What I want is my frog that I
ketched.”
"Frog?"
"Yes, my frog! You’re sitting on
him I”—Philadelphia Ledger.
