matter, Hon. Jerome S. Atherly of this
county has decided to permit his name
to be used in the contest for the speak
ership. Without solicitation, he has
received much encouragement from

lican believes it no disparagement to
the other capable men in the a c to
say that Mr.. Atherly is probably the

This is an inscription on a beech tree

The high, moral senatorial editorial
in Sundays Cheyenne Tribune is an
amusing sort of a thing Dissected, IT
is notice to Senator Clark, Mr.. Gramm,
Mr.. Davis and all the other senatorial
candidates that Judge Carey is the only
real senatorial timber at the present
time-the only man of principal who
has any sort of claim upon the toga.
Rot! If the republicans of Wyoming
had followed the footsteps of Judge
Carey the state government today
would be in the hands of the democracy
and two democrats would now be in the
United States senate. The men who
have stood with the people and who
guided the republican party through
the q~uicksands which beset it in this
state are now entitled to consideration.
We cannot give a senatorial toga to a
man who is so much holier than all the
rest Of the republican party of Wyo-
ming.

What Should Be Done
Our legislators should not be so en-
crossed with the senatorial contest at
the coming session as to overlook the
much important legislation which de-
mands their attention. A revision of
our statutes or at least a new compil-
alton is badly needed; the venue laws
should be amended; the school laws
are in sore need of overhauling; the
live stock laws need attention; the wolf
bounty and other laws will claim at
tention. All Of these matters should
be carefully ana justly dealt with, hav-
ing in view only the general welfare Of
our state.-Newcastle Journal.

asked Absalom if it were true. Absalom
scratched his woolly pate for a moment
and replied that he reckoned it was.
"Well, said Miller. Twill he take a

This somewhat puzzled Absalom for
