srArE ADHESION.

At this time when considerable dis
relative to the effort being made 20 Sc
cure the admission of several of vi
territories into the sisterhood Of states
comprising the American Union, it
may be well to look squarely at the in
centives which prompt eastern cor
gressmen, especially senators, to oppose
such movement by throwing their In
fluence upon the side Of the balance
which tends TO keep the struggling
commonwealth in their present pecu-
liar position-mere wards of the nat
ional government with but a limited
voice in the direction and control Of
their own internal affairs. All persons
and all communities possessing and ex-
erting power are, as a rule, opposed to
yielding any of the same, and they are
equally averse to the creating Of power
to be placed in the hands of others when
there is a remote possibility hat the
power may be directed against their
lhSCltoLbs blbliNA lolAly VI hhihlAl1s Go-
peclally is this the case OF United
States senator's. Those from the little
states of Rhode Island and Delaware
feel their Importance equally with
those of New York and Pennsylvania
whose geographical areas and popula-
tions are each more than twenty times
as great. Yet, Dakota which could
set all four of these eastern or middle
states within its territorial area, and
whose population is decidedly respect
able in point of numbers and general
thrift, finds a strong opposition from
eastern senators who hesitate to yield
to this young, great and flourishing
CON monwealth desired state represen-
tation. Such opposition can hardly be
expected from the south, especially as
1t has the power to throw into our ma
tional legislative halls a half dozen ex-
ira senators ut almost any time 1t may
deem prudent to do so, II the assent of
the state OF Texas a be secured to
this important end; for be 1t remem-
bered that when the Republic of Tex
as was admitted into the Union, 1t was
with the proviso that its people could,
at any time divide that commonwealth
into four distinctive states. Recently
a feeling has evinced itself strongly to
this end, and it BELOVED to be merely a
question of time when the Lone Star
state will by reason of its v~astness, ex-
tent Of population and diversity Of in
terests become four states with eight
senators. So far as the south is con-
cerned, this would be be q good Offset
as to increase of senators from the far
west. As to the staid east, its populs-
tion is not increasing in proportion to
that of the Aourishing west, and there

ouR copK coMMIssIoN,

In the selection of a commission to
revise and codify the laws OF Wyoming,
Messrs. Corlette, Caldwell and Clark,
the appointees, are all conscientious
and competent gentlemen who will
faithfully and ably execute the high
trust committed to their care. BY
reason Of their extensive legal re-
searches, their large Law practices and
wide acquaintanceship with the neces-
stiles of our virgin commonwealth for
correctly compiled laws, they will be
amply enabled to enter upon, carry for
ward and duly complete the formula
ton of our statutes into a substantial
code, which shall prove to be a decided
credit not only to themselves as pains.
taking law book-makers, but they will
give forth, in good time, a tome of lore
of which Wyoming may always be
justly proud. These gentlemen, OF
whom we have made mention, in con-
nection with their several positions
upon the new and necessary code COM
mission, are essentially the right men
in the right place.

WITH everything in life which tends
towards RIGHTEOUSNESS, the abuse and
not the use forms the responsibility.
Especially is this 80 regarding the liq-
uor traffic. Judge Noah Davis, of
New York, in pointing out the way in
which the temperance cause may be
materially served under the laws al
ready existing, makes a statement In
which he virtually says that IL the adj
vocates Of Temperance see that more
care and discrimination is exercised
with the kind of persons permitted to
engage in the liquor traffic they would
find that they could place the business
in the hands of a much better, a more
law-abiding and safer class Of men than
those who are now permitted to handle
it. In all places where liquor licenses
are granted the authorities have a dis
~cretionary power in this respect, and
the fact that they seldom use it prop
erly contributes largely to the evils
arising out of the traffic. Such opin-
ion seems to be as sound as it is con-
seryatiye.

MODIFICATION on LAWS.

Laws are useful propOrtionately to
the certainty of their expression and
the strictness of their enforcement. In
the compilation of the laws of orr ter
ritory, 1t is to be hoped that the COM
mission to whom the important work
has recently been committed will profit
by the experience of previous commits
sions in other commonwealth that nave
preceded them; and, notably 80 Colo
RADIO, the bar of which has long been
and c~odifcation of their laws which are
regarded as a mere tumble of confused
statutes, badly complied and still more
badly indexed. Experience and care
are alike required in 30 delicate a task
which so intimately affects the welfare
of the people of the commonwealth in
the pursuit of their every day avoca-
tions which have to be guided through
the operations of our statutory law.
The c%odi6cation of state and terri
torial laws in the United States dates
back to about 1916, which year notes
the inception of this needful work,
New York state virtually being the
pioneer thus in the ran. Its code OF
procedure has been the basis of similar
works in many of the commonwealth
of the union; but somewhat strange to
relate the c~odiication of its general
laws, which was commenced away back
so far as the date already named, has
not yet been formally adopted by the
Empire state though frequent reports
thereon have been submitted To its leg
islature by fhe several successive boards
Of commissioners to whom the impor-
liant work was from time to time COM
mitted for revision and completion.
However, the work in its unadopted
form has been largely followed by our
territorial neighbor, Dakota, in the
formulation of its statutory law.
For a long series of years,
and even until very recently,
strong opposition has manifested itself
among old common law practitioners
AS against code practice and codihed
laws. But this is fast dying away,
the younger, brighter and more pro-
gressive practitioners of the bar of the
present era, recognizing the pertinent
fact that life is too short and time too
precious, nowadays to resort to the
redundant and Pathological forms which
80 largely permeated the system of
laws long prevailing in Great Britain
upon which those of the American
colonies were originally founded. In
law, like in wit, breyity is a great
desideratum. What has to be stated
should be set forth quite briefly and
very clearly, and to this end all laws
and all procedures based thereon
should closely conform. Justice
is thus better subserved, and the
dockets of the courts relieved of the
burden of accumulated cases, a matter
which at the present time is SO serious
ly affecting the supreme courts of the
nation that relief is being sought
through proposed appellate courts, with
a limited concurrent jurisdiction. A
territorial code carefully, conscienti-
ously and intelligently prepared by COM
petent and Jealous hands must of ne
cessity prove a great boon alike to
every lawyer and every layman resid-
ing within the boundaries of Wyoming.

THE germ of disease which perme-
ates both the bovine and porcine meats
in America, found its way to u shores
from European countries, and now
their people r inveighing heavily
against our meats, especially pork.
The commission recently appointed
to investigate this food industry of the
United States has made its report and
the American hog is given another GER
tiicate of respectable character. The
public will doubtless be pleased to know
that the porcine native Of the bound
less praries Of the West has no occasion
to take a back seat for the hogs of
France, Germany or any other country.
He lives in as good a sly, eats better
food and deports himself as well as any
hog in the Oldest civilized country, and
his carcass is no more subject to be YER
miculated than that Of his German
cousin.

"sNUBBINg' THE TEAM
How the Principle OF the Thing
Was Affected by Considerable
Of O Crisis


A malicious lie is injurious personally. A
business lie is a falsehood for revenue only.
But the yarns that are spun around camp
fires, in mining and logging camps, to while
away a dull evening, are not within the
jurisdiction of the criminal code or the home
missionary.
On the train, yesterday, several old lum
bermen were telling about hard roads and
steep hills, engineering skill, and 80 forth.
Finally they told about H~snubbing" a ioaded
team down bad hills, and one man said:
"You might 'snub' down a cheap hill, but
you couldn't do it on our road. We tried it,
Couldn't do a thing. Finally we got to
building snow-sheds and hauling sand You
build a snow-shed that covers the grade, then
ill the road in it with two feet of loose sand,
and you're o. K We did that last winter,
and when you drive a four-horse load Of logs
down through them long snow-sheds on bare
ground, mind ye. and tho hobs go blowing
through the sand, the sled-shoes will make
the fire fly so you can read the presidents
message at midnight
Then an old man who went to Pixies Peak
during the excitement and returne after
ward, woke up and yawned two or three
times, and said they used to have some
trouble, a good many years ago, getting over
the range where the South Park road now
oes over from Chalk Creek canyon through
Alpine tunnel to the Gunnison.
ave tried 'snubbing' and everything we
could think OF, but it was N. G..
FINALLY we got hold Of a new kind Of
'snub' that worked pretty well. We had a
long cable made a-purpose, that would reach
TO the foot of the hill from the top, and we'd
tie a three-ton load to the end at the top of
the hill; then we would hitch six mules to the
end at the foot OF the hill. Well, the prin-
ciple Of the thing was, that as the load went
down on the Gunnison side, it would pull the
mules up the opposite side, tails first.D
allow did it work.
"Oh, it worked all right IL the mules and
the load balanced; but one day we put on a
light mule named Emma Abbott, and the
load got a start down the Gunnison side that
made that old cable sing. The wagon tipped
over and concussed a keg Of blasting powder,
and that obliterated the rest Of the goods
"But the air on the other side was full OF
mules. You ought to seen 'em come up that
hill
at takes considerable Of a crisis to affect
the natural reserve OF six mules; but, when
they saw how 1t was they baoked up that
mountain with great enthusiasm. They
didn't touch the ground but once in
300 feet, but they struck tho can
opy OF heaven several times.
when the sky cleared up we made a care
full inventory Of the stock.
ave had a secondhand three-inch cable
and some desiccated mule. We never went
to look for the wagon; but when the weather
got warm, the coyotes helped us find Emma
Abbott.
"she was hanging by the ear in the crotch
Of nn old hemlock tree.
Life was extinct.
ave found n few more OF the mules, but
they were fractional

An Elmirn poet, describing the charms OF
his intended, writes that she is graoed
with mouth like Cupid's bow"
Well, let's see. Cupid is generally repre-
sented as a child, perhaps three feet, or two
feet eight inche in height; his bow, to bs
any good at all, must be as much as eighteen
inches long. and judging from the effects oil
his arrows that estimate is none too small
Now n mouth that measures more than a foot
across may seem very beautiful to an Elmirs
man, but IL she has a tongue in any kind Of
proportion how he will catch it after his mar.
