Dear Sir: When you can buy paint
for less than. Devoe; don't; save your
money.
Mr.. Aaron Higgins, Plainfield, N. j.,
always used Is gallons of paint for his
house; Devoe took II.
Mr.. Ezra Rathmell, Williamsport, Pa,
always used II; Devoe took 8.
Mr.. Burt Young, Girard, Pa, always
used a gallon for certain rooms; took
half as much Devoe.
Mr. Nathaniel Barber, Canton, N. Y,
bought twelve used less than 6.
You can always buy paint for less
than Devoe; don't; save your money.
The wearing counts the same way
and doubles the difference.
The cost of painting Is BY the gallon.
Weak paint costs most; most gallons.

JAMES HARDkAN WRITES ON THE
SUBJECT FOR PUBL
CATION.
Points Out Where Railroad Company
Gets Best Of Rest Of Taxpayers In
county-obiects to Present vaIu.
ation Of Cattle for Taxation
Makes Offer of Sale Of Land.

To the Editor of The Republican.
In your weekly of the oath of March
you answer some remarks of the Boom
erang regarding taxation. The Boone
rang says that railroad property is as
sessed at % to 80 per cent. | wish to
correct this statement. Railroad prop
erty Is not assessed at more thar from
bonds of the Union Pacific amount to
more than s1O1 900 per mile, while the
assessment in Albany county for 1902
was only $4,000 per mile. This in
Guided roadbed, all shops, machinery,
rolling stock. side tracks, lands, build
ings, such as ho- ses, etc, and all town
lots in Albany county.
Respecting cattle, they are assessed
at IS to 80 per cent of their value.
Fully $500 head of cattle passed my
place last fall and fully 1000 of them
did not net more than from 500 to s21.
Those brought to market are generally
the best a nan has, because he has all
his yearlings and ~two-yearolds left
behind and if they are over one year
old they are taxed $40 per head. The
highest price last fall for calves coming
yearlings was $40.
Again. as regards ranches, | will
make you an offer if you want to buy,
| will furnish you a ranch for less than
five times its assessed value. Now come
on. Regarding moneys and credits. |

go to the courthouse l could find the

GERS who a lend money and deal in
real estate who have not one cent

der the head Of moneys and credits.
can show you a few thousand acres OF
land that was bought within the past
five years for 81 per acre and some OF
1t today is assessed at $1.25 and has
no water on it. That is rs per cent
more than it's real value. Banks are
assessed at so per cent of their CAPT.
tai; why should stock and horses be
taxed at 80? saw a riding pony sold
a short time since for $40 and there
were two others you could buy at $25
each. These are no fake stories; they
are facts.
l live on the North park road and
have fed and pastured many thousands
of cattle that we're brought out of the
park to ship.
Give everyone a fair deal and il
there is no touching a man who has
money loaned and to loan, or who has
it piled up in some bank, under the
present law. make a law that will COW
er it. Yours. JAMES HARDMAN.

SCHOOLS
AT ROCK RIVER AND COOPER
LAKE VISITED BY THE COUN.
TY SUPERINTENDENT.
Mrs. BeIIamy Returns from Western
Part Of County With Glowing
Opinions of Success of Misses
Tessie Kennedy and Wayne Doyle
In Their Respective Districts.

Mrs. Bellamy, county superintendent
OF schools, who has just returned from
a visit to the Rock River and Cooper
Lake schools, was seen by a reporter
Tor The Republican this morning, when
she spoke quite ~glowingly OF the sue
cess of the two schools, the one at
Rock River under the direction Of Miss
Jessie Kennedy and the Cooper Lake
school in charge of Miss Wayne Doyle.
The latter school is in the station
house at Cooper Lake, Miss Doyle hav-
ing just completed the first of the
three months of the term. The attend
ance is quite good.
The Rock River school is INT of the
largest in that part of the county, hav-
ing twenty pupils and being for a nine
months term. Miss Kennedy Is doing
excellent work, Mrs. Bellamy says, and
is d%elighting both the pupils and par
ents. She is a good teacher and the
pupils regard her as about the best
they ever had.
The Rock River school is helped out
by a splendid library of some thirty
volumes just added by the district, en-
bracing good books on history, geog-
raphy n kindred subjects. which the
pupils are reading to advantage.
Mrs. Bellamy spent two days very
profitably at Rawlins, visiting the
schools Of that city and studying the
methods employed. She says she found
many things to admire in their con-
duct and some that could be adopted
successfully in the schools of Laramie,
which are looked upon as among the
best in the state. Among the features
peculiar to the Rawlins schools are the
kindergarten classes, which are under
the direction of the superintendent OF
the schools and are a part Of the sys-
TEN. Here the younger pupils are
trained for W years. going thence to
the primary department well equipped
to push ahead and better able to over
come some of the difficulties of this
than pupils in many of
the schools in the cities Of the state.
Mrs. Bellamy was warmly welcomed
by the people of both Albany county
and Rawlins, showing to her mind that

SWEETWATER ORGANIZED.

The organization of the Sweetwater
County Republican league has been
completed, with a membership Of over
two hundred. Forty-two directors
were chosen and almost the entire
county is represented on the board.
To the lookeron it would appear that
Sweetwater republicans have acted
wisely. The party in that county has
been torn asunder by fractional fights,
greatly to the advantage of the demo
Gratis. 1t is the purpose Of the new or
ganization to bring all the republicans
of the county together, in order that
the common enemy may be compelled
to fight fairly for that which he re-
ceives.
In commenting upon the organiza-
ton the Rock Springs Miner says:
The league has been formed to elm
mate the fractional fights which have
characterized republican politics in
this county, and which have permitted
the election of democrats to office.
while the county and city are both
strongly republican. 1t is the Intention
of the league to assist the regular state
and county organization. and to pro
mote harmony and good fellowship In
the republican ranks. 1t stands for
fairness and honesty in all elections,
conventions, nominations, ~caucuses,
n in everything in which b repub-
lican party is interested. 1t stands for
equal rights for every loyal republican.
1t is pledged to support the republican
national. state, county and municipal
platforms. and to use its influence to
elevate the tone Of republican politics
in this county.
The future of the league Is very
bright as it starts OF with . member
ship of over two hundred. and the pros
pect Of enrolling the name OF every
loyal republican in the county"

Tue prize for the latter. BY the use
OF tens OF thousands OF dollars lavish
~ spent THE pernieiouE and danger
Gus combination has managed to Sc.
euro several delegations to the nation
al convention. and as each new sue
cess of this kind is achieved the prob.
ability hat Hearst will be a leading
competitor for the nomination becomes
more and more evident.
Republicans, who stand TO- law and
order and common sense in the admin
Iteration of the government, desire
democratic defeat, but at the same
time they would not have a great po-
lttical party throw itself away in folly
and dishonor. Every intelligent re-
publican recognizes the value to the
country of a strong minority imbued
with patriotism and guided by common
sense. However powerful and well
~entrenched the majority may be, ii
is a menace to any country when the
minority goes widely astray, surrend,
ering itself to the spirit of radicalism
and appealing not to the patriotism
but to the passions of the multitude.
The Hearst-Bryan campaign is an
appeal to the latent spirit of anarchy
and unrest. which in some form is
present in the hearts of a large number
OF the people in any country. however
prosperous or however well governed
1t may be.
So far as party success in the ap
preaching presidential election is con
cerned. nothing better could occur fol
the republicans than the nomination
of the democrats of that colt of tbs
wild ass" whom Bryan is pushing tC
the front. But it would be a bad thine
for the country if by such a nomination
it should be shown hat the democratic
party had lost all its claims upon the
approval of the conservative. order
loving, patriotic citizens of this repub
lie.
Whether the democratic national
convention will commit this folly is
uncertain. but it Is beyonu question
more probable than it was three weeks
ago. The fact that the Hearst-Bryar
campaign has made the progress noted
Is evidence of the depths to which the
party Of Jefferson and Jackson ant
Tilden has fallen.-Denver Republi

'.Come Out of ~

Editor Hayes of the Casper Derrick
is seeing visions and dreaming
deans again. The latest halucina-
ton that he has is to the effect that the
apportionmpent bill passed by the legis-
lature of 1901, is illegal. In his com
ments on the status of the bill, he in
jects the side statement that Uinta
county. while it has as great a popu-
lation as Laramie county. has only
one state senator and one member of
the house of representatives. Surely
any well informed child in Wyoming
knows better than this. If the worthy
editor Will take the trouble to look
the matter up, he will find that in the
last legislature, Uinta county had three
senators, viz: Messrs. Osmond, Levers
and Laurie, and six representatives.
Just what MI. Hayes idea was in
making such a statement passeth I'M
~derstanding. Either he was delirious
or else he had no scruples about in,
sulting the intelligence of his readers.
1t is perfectly proper for him to shout
for Casper on the capital question, but
the ridiculous statement in his editor
ial column this week will be received
with undisguised mirth by the average
citizen.-Cheyenne Leader.

STATE R E COMMENT.

A Plea for Judge Corn
The Evanston News-Register, a dem.
ocratic paper published at the home
of Chief Justice Samuel T. Corn, files
the following petition for the retention
of the judge upon the supreme bench:
There is a growing sentiment on
the part Of the people of Wyoming
to lift the judiciary out of the mire
of politics. Especially is this true in
regard to the members of the supreme
court, and strange as it may seem,
this opinion is shared by the lead
ing republicans Of the site. The
precedent was set by the democratic
convention two years ago at Rawlins,
when that body failed to make a nom
the republican nominee the humiliat-
ing task of talking cheap politics
among our intelligent voters.
POLITICALLY. the supreme court is
now composed of two republicans and
one democrat. Wiser heads in the re-
publican organization say that it would
be a political calamity were that aug
usl uouy 10 ne Oh one pOlltlCdl cOHl-
plexion. 1t would in the course of a
few years sound the death-knell to the
party having the reigns of government.
Charges of bribery and political pre-
ferment would be heaped on the heads
Of the ermine-cloaked and the highest
court of the commonwealth would he
a stencil to the nostrils, whether prop
erly scented or not.
While on this subject, the News
Register is proud hat the democrats
of Wyoming are able to present to the
republicans for their consideration
such a competent, honest and refined
gentleman as the present chief justice,
Samuel T. Corn. His service to the
bench in Wyoming speaks better for
itself than any words that might be
here expressed.
1--WE are confident in the belief that
il the republican party of Wyoming
do not want him. that the people will
take the matter of choice in their own
hands and install him in the position
that he so admirably fills"

say that the entire sentiment Of all
who have been made acquainted with
the facts is favorable to the boy. See,

son would do otherwise. He should
