Hearst himself. for the yellow candi.
date. Now. 1t appears there are two
democrats In congress who favor
Hearst An error OF one Is not large
or important under ordinary circum-
stances. but when 1t amounts to so
per cent OF the Hearst following in
congress 1t is too serious a matter to
be overlooked, and of course | have no
wish to do any injustice to Mr.. Hearst.
The other democratic congressman
who favors Hearst is Representative
Griggs Of Georgia. Though Mr.. Griggs
Is o very earnest in his advocacy
of Hearst. he says he would be a
blooming migrate If he did not say a
word for the man. Two years ago
Mr.. Griggs was the manager of the
democratic congressional campaign,
and about two-thirds of all the funds
he had to do business with were fur.
nished by Mr.. Hearst In a great ma
jority OF instances 1t will be found that
when a democratic politician is for
Hearst money has had something to
do with 1t mi way or the other.
An instance Of this came under
my observation out in Iowa recently.
Two bright young democrats called at
my hotel to talk politics. Both were
for Hearst for president. and asked
them why.
I will tell you frankly replied
one. For ten years l have been the
democratic committee chairman In
this county. 1t is a republican county.
We never elect a local officer. We
have no pickings. Our democrats are
nearly all poor. Why. I have managed
state campaigns in this county with
only $l2 or SIS to go on. In presiden-
tial years | have run the campaign
with $40 or $50. not enough to pay
postage or hire a band. Now q mar
comes along who Is ready to let us
have all the money we want. We Can
get hundreds now where we USED to
get dollars. What would you do were
you in my placer
The other young Democrat. also a
good fellow n an active, pushing
man, was the chairman of the commit
tee in an adjoining county. He said
that had been exactly his experience.
and he added that as it IA with them
so it was nearly all over republican
Iowa. Nor is it unfair to infer that
as it is in Iowa, SO 1t is in all parts of
the country. Hearst is paying. the
freight. The hard working. poorly
paid boys are simply swallowing his
money! And for an expenditure of a
million or two of dollars the yellow
kid candidate will in the end have the
satisfaction of controlling-at the out
set If not at the finish-possibly 200
votes in a convention composed Of
nearly 1000 delegates"

When one has suffered tortures from
a bad back and found out how the
aches and pains al be removed, ad-
vice is of untold value to friends and
neighbors, particularly when they
know the statement is absolutely cor

from a Laramie resident. Charles Nor
ton, now retired Of 10Y Hodgman

Laramie Drug Cos. store l got a box
of Doan's Kidney Pills probably more
out Of curiosity than expecting the
medicine to do me any good because

EXPANSION OF AIR
GIVEN As CAUSE OF FIRE IN iRo.
QUoiS ThEA1ER At CHI
cAoo BY EXPERTS.
OF Civil Engineers Of Aus
tria Arrives At Conclusion After
Series Of Experiment. With The
alter at vlenna-shouid Be More
Openings On the Stage.

Chicago, March 31.-Information
throwing more light on the lundament
al u of the Iroquois disaster has
come to Chicago in a report from the
Association OF Civil Engineers of Aus.
tria. which has just made exhaustive
experiments with a theater. Minister
Beliamy Storer forwarded the docu-
ment from Vienna. The Austrian as
ISOLATION holds that the fundamental
cause Of the Chicago calamity, as well
as that Of the Ring tkeater in Vienna
is to be found in the expansion Of air
from heat and resulting increase OF
pressure. To Frank Neuman, acting
director of the Imperial State railways,
the association gives credit for having
first called attention to this fact.
The engineers assert that theater
fires causing great loss of life start
from the stage and that such fires are
becoming more frequent from year to
year, because of the demand for more
elaborate scenic and light effect"
The engineers from their expert
ments allege:
IF there are not enough openings
on the stage to allow for the expansion
OF air to give outlet to the gases OF
combustion, the expansive force will
push the curtain. if let down. through
the p%roscenium into the auditorium"
The engineers declare that ''atten-
ton should be directed tc the fact that
probably no iron curtain will be strong
enough to stand a one-side pressure or
one-fiftieth to onesixtieth atmosphere.
The curtain bent, the heated air and
gases of combustion will enter the
auditorium through the opening"
AS t o fire or ventilating shafts, the
experts say:
The ventilation shafts must be con-
structed in such a way as to allow them
to operate the moment the fire is start
ed. This a be accomplished only by
the covering of the shaft with an easily
combustible material, IKE canvas COW
cred with paper and vanished, cellu-
loid, etc.
ITO help the combustion of the shaft
covering it should have a central hole
one inc a quarter inches in diameter"

A fearful Appeal.

There is a good deal of interest man
ifested these days on the part of the
American people relative to the matter
of separate sleeping cars for the two
sexes. 1t is a move in the right direc-
ton, AND we hope it will win. AS it is
now. no gentleman travelling alone is
safe.
Several months ago. entirely alone,
We travelled from Laramie to Chicago
and back, making the round trip with
no escort whatever. Our wife was de,
tatned at home, and that entire journey
was made with no one to whom we
could look for protection.
When We returned our hair had turn.
ed perfectly white with the horror OF
those dreadful nights,
There was one woman from Phila.
delphia, whose name we will not men,
ton. and who rode all the way between
Omaha and Chicago in our car. AL.
mostthe frstthing when we started out
of Omaha, sne began to make advances
toward us by asking us if we would not
hold her lunch basket while she went
afer a drink.
She also asked lis for our knife to
peel an orange.
These things look small and insig.
nificent. but in the light of later devel.
opments they are of vital Importance.
That evening we saw with horror
that woman's section was adjoining
-Four own!
We asked the conductor If this could
not be changed. but he laughed coldly,
and told us to soak our head, or some
such unfeeling remark.
That is me bad feature of the pres.
ent system. A man travelling alone
gets no sympathy or assistance from
the conductor.
1t would be impossible to describe the
horror and apprehension of hat awful
night. All through it's vigils we suf.
fered on till nea morning, when tired
nature yielded, and We fell into a
troubled sleep.
There We lay, fair and beautiful, in
the soft gray of approaching day
thousands of miles from our home. and,
less than ten feet away, a great, horrid
woman from Philadelphia, to whom
We had not even been introduced.
How We could sleep SO %soundly, In.
der the circumstances We are yet una.
BILE to tell, but after perhaps twenty
minutes Of slumber, we saw, above the
footboard of our berth and peerine
over at us. the face Of that woman

The other passengers were sitting
quietly in their seats, and it was half

Pennsylvania vas in the day coach.
1t was only a horrid dream.
But suppose that 1t had been a real
ity! Any man who travels alone is liza
BILE to be insulted at any time. We nc
not care for luxury in travelling. AL
we want is the assurance that we art
safe.

The Anglers Kick

N'IS'S' T<'SN
The beautiful bit of weather with
which Cheyenne has recently been
favored has caused tho local disciples
Of Walton and Henry Van Dyke to
look forward, longingly, to the open
ing of the trout-fshing season. To
the enthusiastic angler, the coming of
spring presages the return of deeper
joys-the Tilt of the purling, crystal
stream, the witchery of the dark pool
o'erhung by willows, and the mad de-
light of landing the prince of the noun
tain waters.
The Cheyenne fisherman. however,
is nursing the resentment which he
feels toward the honorable seventh
state legislature of Wyoming, because
by the grace of thai august and I'M
feeling body, he is debarred from fish
ing in creeks tributary to the South
Platte-in which list is included the
nearby trout-streams, until June 1st.
In view of the fact that the resi-
dents of other portions of the state
may WOO the watery monarch with the
seductive fly and alluring bait a month
earlier, the local angler regards the
restriction which ia placed on him as
unnecessary and unjust. 1t is more
than likely that the fishermen of Chey-
enne will arise in their might and
make a demonstration before the next
session of the legislature that will re-
suit in an amendment being made to
the fish and game law that will give
them the same privileges as are en-
joyed by their fellow citizens in the
other parts of the Stakeholder.

to insist upon taking the case through
all the legal tribunals possible. e.
Governor Eaton and his colleagues
have the money. it is true, but they
should also respect the rights of their
neighbors, although they are across the

question is squarely presented to the
Colorado people, they answer that they
have absolutely disregarded the rights
of prior appropriations on Sand creek

that Colorado has a paramount right
to do as she pleases with the streams

they have the power tS-take the ques-
ton ever TO the supreme court of tile

principle which should dictate anoth-

against the Colorado people, they
should let the matter drop and permit
