WHICHIS THE LUNATIC2

In his speech at Mansfield the other
day, after denOuncing the greenback-
erS rs lunatics, Secretary Sherman
said;
Il speak only to those who are will
ing to assume, as an axiom on this
subject, that gold and silver, or coined
money, have been proven by all hui
man experience to be the best posi-
BILE standard of value"
Hon. Amasa Walker, in his work on
the "Science of Wealth, after max
ing careful comparisons of general
prices, comes to the following conclu-
siOnS:
l find that gold iluctuated in single
year nearly 5S,per cent, while the
fluctuations III the value of greenbacks
tested by the same standard of gener-
III prices, was only 9 ID per cent, or
less than one sixth of that of gold.
Prof, Juvons, in his work on
money and the Mechanism of Ex-
change" finds
ssThat the values of gold between
1880 and 1905 fell in the ratio of 100 to
as, or by As per cent. And from 1909
to 1910 it rose again in the extraordi-
nary TillO Ol lUU W I'D vi loo per
cent, rendering government annui-
ties and all fixed payments extending
over this period almost , l-2 times as
valuable as they were in 1906.
President Steele, of Lawrence Uni
yersity, distinguished scholar. after
careful research, come to the following
conclusion:
cit is now tolerably evident not on.
ly that gold hos very unstable and
tluctuating value, rendering it uufit
to be regarded as standard of value,
but that it is often more fluctuating
and uncertain IN it's character than is
our national paper at its worst esti-
mate"
Here are three gentlemen of
world wide reputation who, after
carefully weighing all the facts, and
testing the question with scientific
exactness, directly contradict Mr..
Sherman positive assumptions. Are
they also lunatics!

The following horses started:
Russ Butler, Verdigris, Clemmie g.,

The knowing ones were, to use COM
mon expression, "taken in" on this
race: CIemmie e.. and Henry Owings
were the favorites In the pools, and the
pools contained considerable money.
Verdigris took the lead at the start
and never lost 1t.
The only time that the race was at all
interesting was in the second mile at
the half mile post, where Clemmie G..

CAPTURING WILD HORSES.
Lively sport on the Plains Of Colorado
"a Beautiful Mare
IFrom the Denver Tribune.1

TFrom the Denver Tribune
Sheriff Coon, w. II. Scribner, w. p.
Morgan, Thomas Earnest, and Steve
and Charley George, went out last week
after wild horses. They went about
twenty-five miles northeast OF Fort Col-
lins, and few miles east OF Pierce Sta
zion, on the Denver and Pacific Railroad.
There they made their headquarters.
Within two miles of camp they never
failed to find a band of wild horses.
Many a long chase they had but they
finally succeeded In capturing ten head.
A great many animals were seen. Some
Of them were very valuable and fleet of
foot. Three head challenged the ad-
miration of the entire party. One was
a black mare, large. we'll proportioned,
and beautiful, and they chased her over
forty miles but couldn't catch her.
With this fine mare was q colt which
These two are certainly valuable stock
III they could be captured. The other
horse was dark stallion that would
not weigh much over three hundred
pounds. His name reached down to
his knees and his foretop to his nostrils.
and resembles Shetland pony. He is
said to be beauty. One wild band was
seen which seemed to be composed en-
tirely Of large American stock, and I'M
uOuDCeuly contained many Vaiuaple
animals.
These horses are as wild as antelopes,
and the strategy used to get near the
latter has to be employed with the for
mer. The hunter must conceal himself
behind his horse until he gets as near
TO the herd as possible, when, quickly
mounting, he must dash into the herd
like lightning, cutting 1t in two, and
starting a portion OF 1t In the direction
or the camp. No time must be lost, or
the wild animals will ell escape. His
companions, however, will assist in the
tempt to drive the game into a corral.
III successful, then the work Of roping
the animals is begun. and right lively
job 1t generally proves to be.
The widest Of the horses were tied to
the weakest, and thus all were driven to
town without much trouble.

We fail to see wherein the quartz mining in
terests have any more claims tor %lenlency,
or are entitled to a greater evasion of the
law, than other interests in our Territory,
and while we feel that the enforcement CT
our revenue laws are somewhat burdensome,
we believe it does not affect the quartz min
ers any more than it does others, and it is
certainly unfair to stretch the powers given
to the Commissioners to the benefit Of these
mining interests, and leave the farmer, stock
raiser and wool grower to stand the tax
burden. We justify Judge Irvine in the
position taken, and believe the laws Of Moll~
tana, as well as majority of the tax payers,
coincide with him.
