WAKE up

Surveyor General Thompson in his
Grafton at the corner stone laying struck
the key note of the situation when he
said that the people of this town did not
fully realize or appreciate the advantages
which Cheyenne possesses in its location
and surroundings.
The enter of a vast railway system,
with lines radiating to the four points of
the compass, with the two vastest sources
of wealth, iron and coal, within easy &C
cess, with an all-the year-around climate
absolutely unrivaled on the face of the
globe, with a beautifully located and
beautifully built city, with shops arising
that must soon add 10000 people out
right to olr population. with development
and utilization of mineral really
commenced, the mind can readily and
reasonably %coniure up a picture of great
ness for this city which cannot lie very far
in the future.
We have now here every natural and
many artificial advantages 10 aid IN build
ing up a big city. Whether or not the
town achieves greatness rests chiefly with
the people themselves. Growth and
prosperity are within our grasp and if we
fail to appreciate aud rise to the dignity
of the occasion our loss will be the gain of
some other more favored community.
We desire to say and say it frankly
that the army of progression needs more
recruits in Cheyenne. There are laggards
and stragglers in the procession. There
are those who lrown down upon enter
prise and not content with standing SUI
pinely by themselves clog up the wheels
Of progress to the limit OF their ability.
The time for action is upon us. We
need TO be wakeful, watchful, persistent.
Those who are not themselves willing to
put their shoulders to the wheel should at
least not discourage such as are inclined
to do SO.
A train of fortunate circumstances has
always followed Cheyenne. 1t is a lucky
town. Let the people but do their part
and the future OF the city will speak for
itself.

keener and more widespread desire in the
breast OF the people to read and digest the
charges and the evidence adduced to sus-
tain them.

has had any public or political utilization

in his quarrel with Governor War.
rem we know little and care less.
He has maze certain charges through the
columns OF a widely circulated New York
journal aud substantiated them with doc
umentary evidence. These charges and
this evidence have been laid before the
public and has reached very many people,
mainly through the i'll conceived and
childish efforts of the SIN in trying to
bring them into disrepute without at
tempting to meet them.
Not content until it has made bad
worse the Sun in its issue of yesterday
carries it fatuity to the very uttermost
limits Of assininity.
1T will be observed, it says, that
The LEADER is constantly hiding be
hind a screen and makes no accusation on
its own account 1t knows hat there is
not a particle of truth in the stuff that it
%republishes from the New York Times,
and that the source from which it eman
ates renders it unworthy of the attention
of the party accused. 1t knows, further,
that the charge has been entirely dis
proved by official investigation, which is
the only proper court in which to try
such matters.
THE LEADER has not made any
charges on its own account. The charges
have already been publicly made by other
people. They have been given c%ircula-
ton in the public prints and have be-
come matters OF editorial discussion and
comment throughout the whole country.
The LEADER does not know that there
is not a particle of truth in them, however
much 1t may or may not know about the
person from whom they emanate.
1t does not know, further, that the
charge has been entirely disproved by of
fetal investigation. If such is the case
then the record of this investigation is the
best refutation of the charges that could
be advanced, and the SIN owes it to Gov
ernor Warren to publish the evidence ad-
duced at the Investigation and thus put
an end to the bandying about of the matter
from one end OF the country to the other.

THE EXPLANATION rs GIVEN.

Save me from my friendsl' is an ex-
preston which has often been used in all
sincerity of heart by many people in their
contemplation of the conduct ofthe Chey-
enne Sun. Never has the expression APP
piled with more force, more aptitude and
been reiterated with more universal execra-
ton than in the case of Governor Warren
which has lately occupied the carpet.
A Republican Of this city, for reasons
which are perhaps satisfactory tG himself,
carries u the project of writing a series
of letters to a New York paper. The New
York paper gives publication to the same.
The eliminating letter of the series makes
a charge of the gravest possible nature,
to-wit, perjury, against the governor. The
charge is backed by what seems to be in
controvertible documentary proof. which
grows all the stronger from the fact that
no evidence is brought forward in re
buttal by either the governor or his
friends.
The SIN instead of either maintaining
a discreet silence or publishing and at
tempting to controvcrt the charges, rushes
into the midst of the affray with an i'll
tempered zeal and a profound lack of
judgment which is painful in its egotistic
idiocy. If there was nothing to
the charges why not have treated them
with lofty contempt? If there we're a
basis of truth to the charges why not have
explained the matter and placed it in as
favorable light as the circumstances would
warrant? ~
Instead, the Sun treated a grave
charge against a territorial dignitary with
assumed lofty scorn and while affecting to
entirely overlook the real issue involved

A Nine.Year.Old Girl Official

The city of Trenton can claim the
brightest and youngest city officer in
the State. Miss Hattie Owens, very
cute and clever for a girl of nine, has

PERSIA AND RUSSIA

| The Inevitable Fate Of the Shah and II
Fertile D0miniOns.
1t may be that the time has not YET
come for the absorption Of Persia BY
Russia, but there is no earthly power
that can long postpone it Unless the
land of Iran goes down beneath the
| sea, it will surely become Russian by
the mere force of gravitation. Moth
ing can long hold back the increasing
weight of the great empire pressing
towards the Persian Gulf and the
Arabian Sea. Since Peter the Great
first displayed the Russian flag on the
Caspian Sea, in 1922. the advance has
been incessant around its shores, UNI
til to-day only the southern coast is
Persian, and not Persian vessel floats
ON the sea. The nominal independ-
ence of the Shah is alternate shbje6
ton to England or to Russia, according
to the ability or the incapacity OF the
Envoy from the one or the other OF the
two Powers. At the present time En-.
gland seems to possess a temporary
superiority, her Envoy, Sir Drummond
Wolff, having succeeded in installing an
English commercial agent at Meshed.
the capital of the northeastern prov.
ince, Khorassan. and in persuading the
Shah to refuse the same privilege to
Russia. Meshed is less than one hun.
dred and fifty miles from Merv. now a
Russian fortified city, to which arms
and men and munitions of war can be
sent in any quantity and in perfect
safety over Russian territory. II the
Shah calls on England for military
support against Russia. the advance
of the English must be made across
the doubtful and more than half hos
tile Afghan country, without any base
of supplies nearer than the Arabian
Sea or the Himalayas. Russia has the
game in her own hands in Persia, and
nothing but the fear of complications
in Europe can restrain her from work
ing her will in Asia
In a general European war. where
her navy could make itself felt. En-
gland would fight with equal chances;
but some such diversion Is absolutely
necessary to save her from irremediar
BILE defeat in Persia; nor could even .
successful coalition against Russia do
more than prolong the agony Of the
Shah. He is doomed. either himself
to be a vassal Of the Car. or to leave
the actual submission to his successor;
and England must stand by and see al
her plans and her intr1gues come 70

BLACKSMITH AND DAISY.

Among the daisies she nestled down,
And plucking one tiny bud,
She peeped through her lashes OF hazel brown
At its beautiful crimson hood.
Then shaking the dew from its bonny head,
She lifted it up to her lips,
And whispered his name with q cheek as red
As the bloom on its fragrant tips.

As the breeze from tn. gentle south;
- love, lover'-but a strong brown hand
Was laid on her smiling mouth
~You love, you lover" and the brown hand
Through the waves Of her sunny hair:

wind,
Through the locks of the svhisperin g pair
The shy wee daisy was borne away
From the f1uttering girlish breast,
And the rough smith smiled As it coyly lay
In the crease Of his open vest
As though 1t were grazing the lOneliest place
In the forge where he gaily toiled;
It smiled through the smoke with its sweet
round face.
Till its leaves were all smeared and soiled.
Up went his sledge with a right goodwill,
Then down with a merry clang:
Louder and louder. and louder still,
As he whistled the tunes she sang.
He tossed his crisp locks rs he loudly cried:
How happy this toiling will be,
When you, love, are tending our own tngle-
side,
And waiting, my darling, for mel
~Through the lights and shadows OF forty
years
Isee you with wrinkled brow;
All. lovelier far. though your face appears
More grave and more thoughtful than now.

While you smile in your low rush-chair.
