THE FORLORN HOPE OF JUDGE
PARKER.

Reports from New York, indicating
over the Tammany element Of the En-
pire state democracy. are taken as
pretty strong evidence that Judge
Alton b. Parker will be the democratic
nominee at st. Louis.
The democrats are deluding them
selves with the idea that with a New
Yorker as the presidential nominee,
New York state can he taken out OF
the republican column. They talk
about Waif street being against Roose-
welt. and that New York business men
consider the president unsafe" and
that Roosevelt cannot carry the state
against a conservative democrat, par
ticularly a conservative New Yorker.
AS a matter of fact, it is of very little
consequence whether Wall street is
for Roosevelt or against him. inasmuch
as Wall street does not decide the New
York state vote. The thousands of
sturdy upstate farmers. and the thou
sands of intelligent business men in
New York city from the deciding ele-
ments when it comes to an election,
and they are not swayed by the little
group OF capitalists in Wall street.
As a matter of fact, President Roosa-
welt is stronger today in New York
state than he was during his first can
yass for governor, and he is growing
stronger every day. His sturdy action
in the Northern Securities case may
have angered a few of the losers in
Wall street-men who were only too
eager to turn on somebody, out of le-
Senge for losses brought on soIeiy by
their foolish overspeculation. But for
every enemy OF this class the president
mas made a thousand friends in New
York state, and hundreds of thousands
N the country at large, simply because
ne did his duty and did it fearlessly.
As for Judge Parker as a mar of
qualities great enough to wrest New
York state from Theodore Roosevelt,
the caliber of ex-senator Hills candi-
late was pretty well sized up the other
day by ex-Presiden. Cleveland, when
he said: 'Parher-well, l once offered
to make him second assistant postmas-
ter general."-Denver Republican.

AN OLD-TIMERS' MEETING.

Over at Lander the pioneers con-
cluded to have a meeting, perfect an
organization and enjoy a social good
time. They did. The Mountaineer,
edited by the only lady editor il the
state, makes the following comments
upon the meeting:
Saturday. February 81, the day Sc
lected for the old-timers' reunion,
dawned fair and beautiful, and a num-
Der of the old settlers came. in antici-
patton of the day of their lives, renew
ing old acquaintanceship, listening to
"reminiscences of frontier life from
some of the Fremont county orators
and an afternoon of good cheer.
But. 10! CONSERVATION. surprise and
disappointment were plainly depicted
on the furrowed brows of many old
timers at the methods of entertainment
which consisted of almost a constant
wrangle. The affair had been very
poorly managed, the worst feature be-
ing the barroom in connection. A
small room at the back of the hall had
been utilized for free drinks, of which
several of the male fraternity had par
taken Of to such an extent that they
had become loud and boisterous, and
scarcely a move was made by the tenn
porary chairman but that an objection
followed by some of the tipplers. which
caused so much confusion and disgust
that a great number of the old-timers
filed out of the room.
WAS il wise to have the punch bowl
SO handy?
Carter. n of the most insulting and
disgusting old negroes, whose very
presence is an insult to decency, was
designated to pass the liquor among
the ladies', only a few favorite ones
being included in the free drink Offer
ing n only a very few accepting OF
the high compliment &? paid them.
After nue. discord and inharmony,
permanent organization was perfected /.
"A dance was announced for the
evening. and, though many remained
at home, owing o the afternoons side
show, a much larger crowd than could
be accommodated in the small hall
which had been provided for the occa-
sion gathered. as much from curiosity
as a desire to dance.
Horrors! The afternoon perform
ance was not in it. There was no re-
!ception committee, no floor managers,
nothing but a conglomeration of hui
man beings, with seemingly no object
in view but to step on each other q
toes, crowd around and be miserable
I'VE Gods! OF all the mismanagad
affairs! A pioneer quadrille would Ne
called, when the floor would be filed
up with children ranging from IL to
II years of age, interspersed with a
few old-timers. while two rows of
chairs around the hall were occupied
by folks who had resided here for
more than twenty years, many of whom
never had the pleasure of stepping out
on the floor.
The old-timers' reunion and ban
quet was a fizzle, and those who had
1t in charge must confess 1t was mis-
managed from start to finish. But now
that permanent organization is effect
ed, committees appointed and officers
elected for the ensuing year, the
Mountaineer hopes to see the organiza.
ton n of the strongest in Fremont
county. and doubts not that future
events will prove both profitable and
enjoyable in the extreme"

country. restraining them from doing
these very things. And If some n
will kindly come forward with the evil
dence the department will have the
guilty firms in court in short order and
ask the court t o iniict upon them the
full penalty of the law, inc. riing not
only heavy fines, but Imprisonment.
The department of justice is ready and
even eager to move. Already this mat
ter Is sub judice-in the hands Of the
United States courts. Given the evi.
dence of violation of the courts in
junction. all the department will have
to do is to go before Judge Grosscup
and show hat the courts orders have
been disregarded and ask that the
offenders be punished.

clusion that II they cured him they
would cure me. l had trouble with

years, at first mild but as time passed

noying at night. l commenced to use
medicines and l conscientiously say
that | have not the ~faintest idea of the

manent results l never would have
consulted my friend, neither would
have gone to a drug store for Doan's
Kidney Pills. Soon after l commenced
to use the treatment l was convinced
that the preparation had merits. A

THE COMMISSIONS REPORT.

The commissioners Appointed By
President Roosevelt to ex1Mfne into
the manner in which the present land
laws are working and scGx.sS desir-
able changes, has made IT'S report
We have not seen a copy, but from an
editorial in the Denver Republican the
commission has recommea6ed the re
peal OF the timber and Stone Act, that
the desert land act be 70 aOe1ded that
assignment will not be recognized that
regulations be made permitting the
sale OF merchantable tiDbes in forest
reserves and that the entry a land de-
void of timber in forest reserves be
permitted by metes and bounds. In or
der that entrymen may NOT be COM
PEELED to taxi land absolutely worth
less for agricultural purposes.
The Denver Republican fayors the
repeal of the timber and stone act,
saying that the recommendation will
not meet with much opposition in the
far west. The act, It says. has mot re-
suited in much benent to this part OF
the union and its repeal would subject
actual, bona fide settlers to little or no
inconvenience, In this the Denver pa
per is entirely mistaken. The timber
n stone act for the year ended June
80, 1903, brought to the reclamation
fund s4.4l3,91l.91, out Of . total OF
5 $500, 471.ls. Almost 50 per cent OF
the money came from his n act
sought to be repealed. II II hardly
probable the vest. and particularly the
arid states, will consent to the repeal
OF this law.
We entirely agree with the Republi'
can in its comments upon the desert
Ian act. as follows:
The desert land act, which was Sc
verely attacked by some edvocates Of
changes in the land laws, should In the
opinion of the commission be retained
but the assignment Of desert land en-
tries is condemned. The latter part Of
the recommendation IL unwtse. Nc
benefit would result from repeating the
right to assign such entries and nc
loss to the government IL involved IN
its retention. An assignment OF the
kind in question can be made only 10 9
person who has never entered land un
der this act, and to avail oneself OF the
assignment one must exhaust the righ'
of entry. So that II an entry is made
under the desert land act, followed by
an assignment, two original rights Of
entry are thereby exhausted. TIT
right Of assignment IL not n open
door to the acquisition Of desert lands
by corporations or other large holders
for, as We have said, no man can be
come an assignee of such q claim II he
has already exhausted his right OF or
iginal entry.

Printers and Editors
The editorial writer of the Basin
Rustler is a printer. as well as an able
pencil pusher-a combination which is
most desirable. II not essential, in the
production of a good newspaper. We
believe it is practically the undivided
opinion of mel who are old in news
paporial harness that as a rule the
best newspaper men began their work
at the cases and acquired a thorough
practical knowledge Of the printing
business. or even mastered the art
preventative. before they took up the
quill. Benjamin Franklin was one of
the first in America to set such an ex-
ample. Dana, Medill. Mccullough and
others of national prominence fol.
lowed. This rule holds good in our

About the

The assertion is repeatedly made
always from a democratic source. how
ever-that Brooks is the candidate of
the machine and will be forced on
the republicans of Wyoming, whether
they like it or not. Our democratic
brethren are unduly excited. There Is
no machine in this state big enough
to control the republicans of Wyo-
ming; the republican party is bigger
than any dozen of men in it. Once let
lne voters of the state think they are
in danger of being forced" and they
will rise up in their wratn and forever
sit upon any set of men who strive to
introduce machine methods into our
state politics. But the machine" bug
aboo is an invention of the unterrified.
1t is only possible in states employing
immense numbers of laborers, who are
largely subject to the dictation of
their employees. In Wyoming the av-
erage American citizen presumes to
nominate and vote for himself, and
may be depended upon to resent any
attempt at dictation.-Big Horn Coun-
