The energy and Initiative. of the

ity. One of the stories held up to
the admiration of recruits tells of the
exploit of n sergeant named Kodama
and five men at Hwang.chiatai, in
the M~anchurian campaign against
China. They were sent to reconnoi-
ter the Chinese position in the night.
While they were doing so, the SER
geant noted the extreme confusion
and unpreparedness of the enemy and
he conceived the daring idea of at.
lacking the entire army with his five
men. They discharged their rifles as
quickly as they could and rushed rap
idly from point to point, uttering
b~lood-curdling yells. The Chinese
thought they were attacked in force
and fled in confusion, leaving their
camp and supplies behind them.
"Shikata go nail" ('There is no

America. 1t expresses at once the
fatalism and the Spartan resolution
of the Japanese character. When a
mother hears hat her son has been
killed in battle. she does not weep or
show any visible sign of emotion. She
bows her head and. calmly says. "Shi-

AN UNJUST REPRISAL.

1t was with a feeling of extreme re,
greet that The Republican learned of
h action of Governor Chatterton dis.
missing from office Deputy Secretary
of State r. p. Fuller. The alleged rea.
son for the action is given in a letter
from Secretary of State Chatterton to
Mr.. Fuller, in which the following Ian
guage is used: 1T has been quite APP
parent that our interests are not at all
mutual and that it is impossible for
you to execute the duties of the trust
reposed in you in a manner satisfac-
tory to ME or with credit to myself
The foregoing does not give to the
public the real reason for the dismissal
of Mr.. Fuller. 1t was a matter of com
mon knowledge at the state capital
that Mr.. Fuller supported the Chatter
ton delegation at the primary meetings,
and it is just as generally known that
the secretary of state had made certain
pledges that it became incumbent up
on him to make good. 1t was current
ly reported that Mr.. Hinkle was to be
recommended to the convention as the
dummy secretary of state in case
Mr.. Chatterton should receive the nom
nation for governor, and having been
defeated for the nomination, Mr.. Chat
terton now does the neXt best thing. to
his way of thinking. INT places Mr..
Hinkle in the deputy's office, where
he will doubtless remain till Mr.. Chat
terton's term of office expires.
Mr.. Fuller is one of the most com
petent and courteous officials it has
aver been our lot to do business with.
His legion of friends throughout the
state will look upon this act as one of
the most unjust political reprisals ever
perpetrated in Wyoming. 1t comes al
most as a challenge to the men who
We're the successful candidates at the
republican state convention.
Even in the light of all the knowl-
edge we had of the actions of Cover

months, We Were not prepared for such
senseless and unreasonable work as

His Own Way.
A prominent Judge and a young
lawyer were taking a holiday jaunt

His friend acknowledged the re-
mark with a simple thank you" and
nothing further was said about the
matter.
The Judge did not limit himself in
his wines and other expenses. and
was running up a pretty bill. When
their stay at that hotel was ended,
and they went to the desk for their
accounts. the Judge received his, and
passed it to the younger man with

A PRESS

Warren Loitered-
After the adjournment of congress-.
Senator Warren loitered at Washing
ton long enough to pick out a present
for his people in central Wyoming, and
brought it along home with him. AS
a result of his stay, the announcement
has just been made by the secretary
of The interior that an apportionment
of 81 900, 900 has been made for the
Pathfinder project. This means the
erection of a dam in the North Platte
below the mouth of Sweetwater and
about forty miles southwest of Casper.
The water stored will be utilized to ir-
gate lands Of the North Platte valley
at various points near Casper, Douglas,
Lusk, Goshen Hole and western Ne
braska. The system. when completed,
co~ntemplates the irrigation of nearly
800, 900 acres and the expenditure of
upwards of 81, 1000, 900. Verify, looking
over the work of our entire congress
sional delegation at this session, the
average citizen must certainly con-
graduate himself and the state in the
selection Of such men to represent us
at the national capital. With a stand
ing and prestage obtained by long SER
vice n meritorious conduct. the Wyo-
ming delegation is a power for our
good and deserving of the %unstinted
praise of the entire people.-Big Horn

THE ENDORSEMENT OF MONDELL.

The strong endorsement of Repre-
sentative Frank w. Mondell by the re-
publican state convention of Wyoming
will receive the approval of all who
have observed his course as a repre-
sentative in congress.
Mr.. Mondell is a young man, but he
has demonstrated that he possesses SUI
perior abilities. and that he is devot-
ed to the interests of his constituents.
His clear understanding of the sub
jects that bear a close relation to the
welfare of Wyoming and other parts
of the far west has been demonstrate
ed upon numerous occasions, and par
ticularly in connection with the dis
cussion of irrigation problems.
His unanimous nomination by the
convention was a credit to the good
sense of the delegates and their appre-
citation of faithful public service.
There is no doubt that this nomination
will be ratified by the people at the
polls next November. and that Mr..
MOndell will be retained in the place
he has filled with so much credit

DEATH BY DROWNING
VERY SHORT IMMERSION IS SUE
FIclENT TO KILL.
Physician Declares That Two Minutes
Is All the Time a Human Being
May Be Under Water and Be Re-.
suscitated-He Gives Instances.

THE story frequently repeated
about professional divers who have
been able to remain under water for
over W minutes is silly" DR.. Joseph
Boehm tells me. No one can remain
under water that long without drown
ing, whether they are trained divers
or not. At Navarino. where the
sponge divers are reported to be able
to remain under water three and four
minutes, tests were made recently
and resulted in conclusively proving
that none of them remained down as
long as a minute and a half. Ninety
seconds seems a very long time to the
watcher on shore, and it is about the
limit of a divers endurance under
water. At Ceylon, where time tests
were also made among the famous
pearl divers, it vas ascertained that
few Of them remained below the sur
face as long as a minute, and other
tests made on the Red sea among the
quarter was the longest they could
endure without a fresh breath.
"On the coast of England several
years ago a diver, a trained diver, one
Of the best on the coast, renowned
for his endurance, went down and
was pulled up SO slowly when he gave
the signal that he was under water
about two minutes and five seconds.
He was drawn out of the water In
sensible. with blood flowing from his
nose and ears, and 1t was only after
long and arduous work that his re-
covery from the effects Of that two.
minute stay under water was assured.
Drowning is a quick death. Even
though the water is kept out Of the

minute. and complete Inconsistencies

have been in the water five minutes
being resuscitated are generally mis-
takes or untrue. A man could not be
in the water five minutes without
coming to the surface several times,
and be restored to life."-St. Louis

AFTER FL PAso GAMBLERS.
OneThousand Citizens Sign Petition to
 Have Gambling Stopped.

Fl Paso. Oct. 22.-The Citizens League met last night at the chamber of Commerce with 100 present Re ports from the various comAS Sttees that have been circulating the petition agains public gambling showed that the list of signers had reached 1000.
 It was announced that almost ev- cry man in the business section of the city had signed, the only excep- tions being a few merchants. office holders, and persons directly, depend ent on gambling. Among the wage earners the sentiment is unanimous, and no argument is necessary among the railroad employees and employees in other trades, to induce them to add thei rnames to the petition. By far the larger part of the list is made up of voters and taxpayers. and prac- tically all the 1000 signers are Ameri- can born white men.
 Arrangements are being made for a big public demonstration to be held a night CT two after the election in the new convention hall. This will be a public meeting. to which every body will be invited. Special invita- tions will be extended to all churches, lodges. unions, and other semi-public organized bodies. The city and county officials will be asked to attend. There will be music. and addresses by men representing various branches of trade and industry. The petition will be circulated at the meeting and al opportunity given to citizens generally, both men and women, to add their names. Afer the meeting the petition will be presented to the sheriff.
 The meeting last night was attended by business men, wage earners. and professional men. It was enthusiastic and absolutely devoid of any tinge of partisan politics. It is emphatically a non-partisan citizens movement.
