The Aspen Times comes out in
most sensible article against the un-
warranted and indiscriminate use of
the word Professor and then in
the local columns of the same issue
breaks over its own rule. This WAS
probably owing to the fact that the at
tentiou of the reporter had not been
called to the views of the editor.
The Times article ON the subject is
worthy of careful consideration. In
these days Of piping strenuosity there
are hundreds of young men with
smattering of book knowledge but
lacking the brains to use it in prac-
tical way who are dubbed professor"
from the time they secure their first
position keeping school, and the
fellow who puts your perspiring and
his knee, places tuft of cotton satu-
rated with salicylic acid between your
scalded toes aud with pair OF tweez-
ers picks ont an elongated piece of
skin and charges you two dollars for
the operation" wears the title of
doctor" and is far more jealous of
the designation than the skilled grad
uate physician whose education and
whose practical common sense render
him altogether worthy Of such title.
Oh horrors Out with these self con-
stituted professors and doctors. 1t is
high time for them to take a walk
along with the ''gents'' and ''ladies"
of the present day who would scorn
to be known AS men and women

dered Frank Handley, a rancher, on
New Years day, made a desperate eff
fort to escape. He heated a poker and
burned a hole through the wooden wall
below one Of the windows. When this
was large enough to admit a saw.
which, In the opinion Of the sheriff, had
been passed into him by an outside
friend, he proceeded to cut a hole large
enough for him to pass through. He
then stole a horse belonging to the
sheriff and struck out.
The horse, however, was an outlaw,
and without bride was practically use
less to Ames, SO that he made slow
progress, and Sunday afternoon he was
overtaken by Sheriff Van Hofne's dep
uties on Bull creek, in Gregory county
He was Immediately returned to
Oacomas
Ames was tried at the recent term of

PYLE'S
South Dakota Attorney Generalship
Made a Mystery.

Washington, March 6.-The visit of
Governor Herreid of South Dakota to
Washington is most opportune, as it
gives him q chance to consult with the
congressional delegation about the APP
pointment Of a successor to the late
Attorney Genera Pyle. Governor Her
reid does not know who the active can
didates are besides A. E. Taylor, as
sistant attorney general, as he directed
his secretary when he left Pierre to
send only the most important papers to
him.
notwithstanding the governors lack
of knowledge, the claims of available
men are already being discussed. 1t is
not probable that the announcement Of
the selection will be made here, even if
1t is made, but the governor will wait
until he gets to Pierre to do that.
