A MIGHTY GOOD OFFICER.

II The Republican is any judge Of an
efficient, energetic, honorable public
official. Mr.. e. w. Burke, the pure food
commissioner, Is worthy of confidence
and commentator. In the perform
apce OF his duty he has made n record
OF which any man might be proud.
Without brag or buster, he rent
quietly about the enforcement of the
law. giving every merchant and others
affected thereby ample notice and full
opportunity to make compliance with
the statute. After full notice, he has
no hesitated to prosecute those who
have failed to do their part. He has
secured many convictions, this county
alone being something like eight hun.
dred dollars in pocket through fines
collected under the act.
Under the operation of the pure food
law Wyoming has ceased to be a dump
ing ground for adulterated or poisoned
foods. Merchants in every section of
the state are doing their level best to
order nothing that is not in strict &C.
cord with law and the people are there
fore enjoying a respite from the gouge
games OF ~dishonorable manufacturers.
This law is one of the best ever en-
acted by the Wyoming legislature. Mr..
Atherly OF this county was the princi.
pal advocate of the bill and may be
called the father OF the act. In its en-
forcement 1t has not been the purpose
of the executive office or Commits.
sioner Burke TO be unreasonable. dicta-
torial Or arbitrary. 1t was fully re-
allied that in the beginning tact and
goo judgment would count for much,
hence the commissioner felt his way
until he was on certain ground. When
he made a complaint he was there
with theg goods" In nearly every case
those arrested have entered a plea of
guilty n have promptly paid their
fines.
The commissioner appreciates to the
| fullest extent the able assistance hi
has had from Prof. Knight of the STATE
university, VINO mas performed honest
efficient work.
At the coming session of the 1egis-
lature Commissioner Burke will make
some valuable recommendations sug
gested by his experience of the past
two years and it is t. be hoped that
his power will be strengthened. In
this connection, although The Repub-
Ncan has not been consulted in rela-
ton thereto by the commissioner, we
fel that the compensation fixed by the
legislature for this important office is
entirely inadequate. He is required
tc travel all over the state and is there.
fore away from his place of residence
a very large share of the time, and the
salary is only 800 per month. In jus.
tice to the state as we'll as to the Off
Ger, this compensation should be in
creased to a fair compensation for the
duties required to be performed. Eight
hundred dollars per annum should be
added. 1t is not a cheap mans Job
and the price should be high enough
to command at all times good service.

Do You Want to Know
What You Swallow ?

There is a growing sentiment in this
country In favor Of MEDICINES oil KNOWN
COMPOSITION. 1t is but natural that one
should have some interest in the compo-
sition of that which he or she is expected
to swallow, whether it be food, drink or
medicine.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part of the public, and satisfied
that the fullest publicity can only add to
the well-earned reputation OF his medi-
cines, DR.. X. V. Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. Y,
has "taken time by the forelock," as 1t
were, and is publishing broadcast a list
OF all the ingredients entering into his
leading medicines, the UGolden Medical
Discovery the popular liver i%nvigorator,
stomach tonic, blood purifier and heart
regulator; also OF his uFavorite Prescrip-
ton" for weak, over worked, broken
down, nervous and invalid women.
This bold and out-spoken movement on
the part OF DIR. Pierce, has, by showing
exactly what his well-known medicines
are composed of, completely disarmed all
harping critics who have heretofore I'M
justly attacked them. A little pamphlet
medical authorities Of all the several
schools of practice, showing the strongest
endorsements by leading medical writers

DR.. Pierce's medicines. A copy of this
little book is mailed free to any one de-
string TO learn more concerning the valu-
able, native, medicinal plants which enter
Into the composition of DR.. Pierce's med
icines. Address DR.. Pierce as above.

Heavy Stockholders Haven't Sold.

Freeman L. Davenport, president of
the Shelburne Falls and Colrain street

his stock and does not intend to, pre-
ferring to hold it if he cannot get more
than a quarter of its par value. One
of the heaviest stockholders has said
that he will not dispose of his holdings
unless the promoters of the project to
buy controlling interest make known
their plans. 1t is pointed out that the
roadbed, the poles and the overhead
work and the electric equipment are in
good condition. The business of the
road is also larger than ever before.
Just who is behind the movement to
get control of the road cannot be learn

from Colrain city, the terminus, to Will

60 YEARS A DANCING MASTER
Simeon Green Who Used TO Teach in
Brattleboro Still Enthusiastic.

Sixty.two years dancing master,
and still, at the age of SO, active and
enthusiastic in his calling; for 25 years
band leader, and farmer all his
| life-such is the career in outline of
Simeon Green of the town of Harvard,
Mass, who numbers his former pupils
by the thousands and has danced around
the globe.
Mr.. Green or Prof. Green, as he Is
popularity called, began to give lessons
in dancing in 1914, at the age of 20.
He was born in Townshend on MAY 2S,
1924.
While he was a child his parents
moved to Lunenburg. There he learned
to dance and to farm at the same time.
1t was a peculiar combination, but he
liked it, and has stuck to it ever since.
According to the Boston Herald, Mr..
Green has taught. 10000 nights and days
His classes would average easily forty
night, so that during each term of six
months he would turn out in the vicinl-
ty of 250 graduates. On this basis
he has given lessons to more than $1,000
persons in 60 years.
Figuring that Mr.. Green has danced
on an average of about two and half
miles every one of those 10000 nights.
he has covered $4,000 miles of waxed
floors-and some unwaxed-in sixty
two years, This is equivalent to four
round trips across the United States,
from Atlantic to Pacific and back or one
trip around the globe,
In the sixty-two years of his life
liy hn -
not once required the services of a
physician. When he was in his TWEEN
tieth year he had a serious illness which

But he fought off the sickness and the
doctor at the same time and has never
since had close personal relationship
with either.
1t is said of him that in his prime
and that was when he had attained
the scriptural threescore and ten--he
would drive miles and miles in the cold
est winter weather without an overcoat
Or the slightest covering on his hands.
He does not seem to know the mean
ng of the word fatigue. It is no I'M
usual thing for him to work on the farm
I'll day, drive over several miles Of
country roads IN the evening, teach

At eighty-two years of age he is rs

SHORTAGE OF FREIGHT CARS.
Matter May Be Investigated by Interstate
Commerce Commission

Complaints that are country wide in their
source are pouring in upon the White House
and the capitol al Washington about the
shortage Of freight cars and the high price
Of lumber So spontaneous have been the
appeals to the president and TO congress for
action that will relieve what has already
come to be in parts Of the west a serious
situation that resolutions have already been
introduced in the house for the investigation
Of both complaints aud an inquiry into the
price Of lumber by the Interstate Commerce
commission has been ordered. The latter
has. on its own initiative also undertaken
an investigation Of freight ear shortages
Upon the facts thus obtained the president
will base a special message to congress. The
nature OF his recommendations can not be
predictcd the facts in his possession now
only show the necessity for action Of some
kind When the Interstate Commerce com.
mission has completed its inquiry into the
causes for this condition the president will
