A COMPETENT OFFICIAL.

Railroad oflcials are in a measure
public officials. Railroads are com
mon carriers and must cater to the
public for business. The ofhcial, there
fore, who can handle his road with the
greatest degree Of efficiency and give
the public the best service, is most pop
ular with the directors and the patrons.
These remarks are called out by the
very high degree Of efficiency that has
been attained or the Wyoming division
Of the Union Pacific during the past
two years. Recently it has been an,
nounced that time is invariably made
up In this state. no matter whether the
trains come from the east or west.
This means good power. good men and
good organization, and above all it
means a master hand at the helm.
Superintendent VIM. l.. Park is a
railroad lar of rare ability, and the
public is giving him no little credit for
the general efficiency displayed on the
Wyoming division. He has grown up
from boyhood in the railroad service
and knows 1t like a book. Reserved in
character, he is not quick to form new
friendships. but his actions inspire con.
hdence and his courtesy is constantly
drawing the public closer to the Over,
land.
The men under his direction say his
judgment is keen. his management
fair and impartial and his decisions
Just. His rapid advancement in the
service is proof that he is big in mind
as well as In body.

Another instance Of the ruin Of the
savage by civilization Is reported from
Australia. The dingo until within the
last few years remained the only ex-
ample of the real wild dog, though
China has chow-chows scarcely re-
moved from the wolves which they
hunt. But the dingo has been corrupt
ed by the tame kangaroos kept at the
stations. as we'll al by the bulldog, a
very artificial animal. Consequently
the degenerate dingo Is no longer sat
ished with lambs but demands mutton

civilization to the savagery of barbar-
ism and Australia is making war on
the dingo as it made war on the rab-

The Illinois antitrust law has been
declared unconstitutional because Of
the fact that 1t exempted farm pro-
ducts and live stool from its provis
ions. There has been too much. of this
kind of exemption in favor Of the ag
ricultural interests. The granger leg.
islator is continually crying out
against mouopolies. but he always
wants to work his legislation upon the
other fellow and go sco free himself.
A few years & the populist Legislature
Of Nebraska passed a short workday
bill. but excluded from It's provisions
domestic and farm labor. But the &c
ton OF the supreme curt in knocking
out the class Legislation in Illinois will
have n tendency to put a damper or
such acts. What Is sauce for the goose
should be made sauce for the gander.

The next legislature should take
steps to forever divorce the state land
business from the Office Of superintend.
ent of public instruction. Our lands
should be under the direction Of a state
land register. elected by the people.
and whose Office should be an indie
pendent branch of the state govern
ment. 1t has been often urged that the
ONCE Of superintendent of public in,
struction belongs to the women of Wyo-
ming, but this contention has been met
with the argument that few women
have the executive ability to handle
the state lands acceptably to the peo-
pie. By dividing the business this OBJ
lection would be met and the women
would have a chance. There Is a strong
demand that the land business Of the
state be consolidated under one official
and the sooner it is done the better it
will be for the state and the people.
There is too much business in this de-
partment to longer saddle it upon the
state superintendent and it is false
economy to continue the practice.

Longevity Ia the tnitsd 8tatss.

A recent bulletin Of the United
States .census compares the mortality
of 1890 and that Of 1900, and shows
that there has been a diminution Of
something like 10 per cent in the death
rate. In 1890 the average longevity
in the United States was 31.1 years: in
1900 it is 35.2 years. The increase Is
10 per cent. This is the conclusion, at
least. so far as cities of over 5000 in
habitants are concerned. and it repre-
sents the facts for the whole country
approximately. In 1894 245 persons
died of consumption In every 10000;
in 1900 only 1870. The case Is similar.

Minnesota has been exceptionally
fortunate in the past in the selection
of Republican candidates for COVER
nor The state is one of the most
rapidly growing of any in the union
and her diversified interests are devel-
oping wealth and influence at pace
that is truly remarkable. 1t is only
a few years since it was considered
that the only crop that could be raised
successfully In this commonwealth
was wheat. But that day has passed.
We now grow as fine corn as CAP be
raised in Illinois or Iowa. Our dairy
interests are second to none. Our
mineral interests have developed to an
extent that place US in the front rank
of all mineral producing states. Our
lumber interests are still great and all
combined where will one find a
greater state more prosperous people
or more progressive populace.
While The Free Press is not so
selfish as to claim that our states
greatness is altogether due to the Re-
publican party it does contend that
that party has played very impor-
tant part in its development. The
taxpayers money has ever been
guarded with jealous care through
competent officials. Investment of
public funds have been 30 carefully
and judiciously made as to add to the
surplus large sums and our state in
situations are standing monuments to
prove the truth of the statement.

the economical administration of
affairs and in his official integrity and
business capacity are the people
greatly interested. With no disparage-
ment to the other splendid men who
have filled the chair Of chief executive
it can be said without overdrawing
the truth that Governor Van SAINT is
one of the strongest most popular and
most determined of all his predeces-
sors. His stand on several matters of
much moment to the people and espec
tally his vigorous and timely protest
against the merging of great railroad
interests in violation of law have won
for him the appreciation and regard of
people of all political faith. The fact
is that today Governor Van SAINT is
more the candidate of the people than
he is of party. His inherent honesty
of purpose to stand for the masses
against great and powerful corporate
interests has so solidifed him with
the voters as to make his success one
of majority only. 1t becomes the duty
of every man who favors honest gov
eminent and who believes that the
laws were made to be obeyed to stand
firmly and enthusiastically behind his
candidacy making his vote 80 large as
to stand as a menace and a warning
to those who deem themselves greater
than their creator. The thing to do
is to go to the polls. No matter how
earnestly you may feel in the success
of the governor if you fail to vote
you will neglect duty that no ex-
cuse can atone for.
