SENATORS BY VOTE OF PEOPLE

Senator Warren has presented the
against the election Of senators by d.
rect vote of the people that has thus
far been presented. His contention
that II the question is opened for con-
stitutional amendment the asst will
make q strong effort to have senate
rial representation based upon popula-
ton is a logical conclusion.
Under present conditions. the west
has powerful representation In the up
per house Of congress and through this
representation we have been able to
demand recognition. Had it not been
for this power the irrigation bill could
not have passed congress for perhaps
decades to come. In the house OF rep.
resentatives only two sessions ago
the proposition was scorned and the
men Of the east were only brought to
their n 8 by the defeat of the river
and harbor bill carrying an %appropria-
ton of SIS, 000, 900. In the house the
representation Of the west is very
small, but in the senate Wyoming
counts for just as much as the great
states Of New York and Pennsylvania.
Senator Warren urges that It Is prob
able an attempt would be made to re-
duce our representation in the senate
so that perhaps several states would
constitute one senatorial district, and
in view Of the o~ft.repeated wall from
the east that we have toe much power
in the senate this is a reasonable con-
~clusion. But suppose we were reduc-
ed to n senator each from all
the inter-mountain states, would it not
be a calamity to be fought against?
The senator's argument presents the
matter in an entirely new light to the
people of the great west and they will
unquestionably consider seriously what
he says before taking a leap in the
dark

MISS CASE.

Last year Miss Rebecca J. Taylor, a
clerk in the war department. published
in . Washington paper under her own
signature q letter about a public ad-
dress Of the president concerning the
Philippines. She said among other
things:
Long will Theodore Roosevelt drink
to the health Of those who wrought the
splendid work of death ere the spirit of
liberty shall be crushed from the souls
Of the infant heroes of the Philippines;
but not till the land is left desolate:
not while humanity lives in the Amer
lean heart; not till the doctrine of the
brotherhood OF man dies in Christen-
dom, not till God forgets ais brown
children. will the flag stay put" on
the blood soaked soil of the Philippines.
Eternal shame on such ignoible war
fare.
Miss Taylor was dismissed for "in-
subordination," and appealed to the
supreme court OF the District of Col
umbia for a writ of mandamus to re-
store her to her position. She contend
ed that under civil service rules she
could notlawfully be dismissed for any
thing she had done, and that her dis
charge because of what she had said or
written criticising the Philippine
policy Of the administration was an at
tack on the constitutional right Of free
speech. The court has dismissed her
petition. 1t says that the power of dis.
missal lies in the president and heads
of departments under the civil service
law. There were not many who thought
the court would decide otherwise. It
says also that the clause in the consti-
tuition guaranteeing liberty Of speech
does not uphold license of speech.
The petitioner has given notice Of an
appeal, but she can gain nothing by
carrying her case to a higher court.
No judge will attempt to restrict the
power of dismissal vested In the exec
utive branch OF the government, and
no matter how long the cas- may be
discussed there will be no sympathy
for IN employe who was 30 unmindful
Of the p%roprieties of life as to attack
oficial superfors in signed newspaper
communications. The right to do that
never will be admitted. There is q

Usa Of Submarine Boats.

Great Britain is among the last of
the great powers to realize the value
Of submarine vessels in future warfare.
They have therefore ordered five Of
them built at once In this respect
Great Britain resembles many people
In our own country who. when they
feel sick, wait until the last minute be-
fore seeking a remedy to cure them.
The majority of the people. however,
always keep a bottle of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters in their medicine
chest, and at the first sign Of a disordi-
cred stomach take a few doses with
the result that they always have good
health. This is an excellent plan for
you, also. The Bitters will positively
cure headache. heartburn. sour stom-
ach, indigestion, dyspepsia, insomnia,
o 7 nervousness. Try a bottle and be
convinced of its value.

ALIVE.

That the people of northern Wyo-
ming are thoroughly alive to the i'm
p~ortance of the third annual industrial
convention is evidenced by the follow
ing article from the Sheridan Post.
at is indeed gratifying to know
that our ranchmen and farmer friends
are so fully alive to the Importance
Of the Industrial convention and the
Louisiana Purchase exposition. They
all seem to be willing to lend a help
ing hand. and to do everything posi-
BILE to get up exhibits and make the
convention a genuine success. They
realize that this is a great opportuni-
ty for Sheridan county and all north
ern Wyoming to show to the world
what We can produce. They are next
to the fact hat what is most needed
in this section at the present time is
capital to build storage reservoirs, to
develop our mines of coal, gold, silver
and copper and our quarries Of stones
and cements. To interest capital we
must show to the world that we pro-
duce something, and that we have
something to develop. With reser-
voirs and plenty of water for our high
lands it will be an easy matter for us
to get a big sugar factory. foundries
and q greatly increased population
both in the town and country. Az yet
many Of sheridan's business men have
not shown the interest in this move
that 1t deserves, and they have been
adversely criticised by the ranchmen.

proudly to the greasy Oriental, who.
however, did lot seem a bit impressed
with the information. but persisted in
the extremely low price he had offered
us at the beginning. An absurdly low
price, yet one to which We finally lad
to agree. for both Nita and I ware
firmly resolved on n thing-we
would go to Mrs. ~Stephenson's house

forth We would have to forego society
and earn our own livings. tHow we

a way that IL not only became smaller

we were penniless, and when we de-

Each night she would sob herself to

She had a fearful sunburn on, and was
