the engineer, all travelling expenses and ell
office expenses All that it can do, therefore,
is to investigate the situation, gather such in
formation as it can, and expose to the legisla-
ture the real condition of things, in the hope
that the exposure Of the waste going on under
present methods, and the contrast between re
suits under our crude system and those obtained
in other states, will spur the legislature to
ton at least serve to create popular de-
mand for more businesslike methods. A uhoro
investig CATION Of conditions will not be time
wasted however It is not improbable that
even if the commission had it in. it's power to
give state aid and thus to encourage the build
ing of permanent roads, an investigation and
report of the kind suggested would be desir-
able and necessary preliminary to effective
work. One of the principal obstacles to progress
is want of comprehensive knowledge of the
road situation in Minnesota.

FOR GOOD ROADS.

The last Legislature created a state h1gf
way commission. It will be their duty to cover
this state with good roads, How the commlss
ion will do their work, is discussed by the
Pioneer Press as follows:-
The state highway commission has made a
promising start The speed with which it got
under way at it's first meeting on Friday 1nd1-
Gates that it has clear conception Of it's duties
and of it's general policy. The Pioneer Press
does not know certainly what is the attitude OF
Senator Halverson and Mr.. Galarneault toward
the minor details of good roads policy, but in
the selection of Gustave Scholle as the president
of the commission and of Col. George w. Cooley
as engineer they gave very positive evidence OF
their sympathy with progressive and aggres-
sive program. Mr. Scholle was the organizer
of the Ramsey County Good Roads associations
the most effective organization of the kind in
the United Stated, and has been it's president
from the beginning. He has given to the reform
of the county's method Of administering the
road and bridge fund and to the institution and
prosecution of a good roads program on the
outlying streets of the city many months of his
time during the last year and half. The re-
suit has been that within that brief time there
has been complete revolution in the county
system of road construction and maintenance,
which is economical and businesslike|
a basis as the law will permit; the institution
of regular program of permanent road build
ing by the city and the county working in CO
operation; large mileage actually constructed
Last year, and even larger mileage provided
for this year.
Col Cooley has long been the most emerge
tic and effective good roads man in the state.
AS surveyor of Hennepin county he has built
over hundred miles of permanent road, and
thru that experience and his state associations
he is more thoroy acquainted with what oo
.stac1es to expect, and how best to overcome
them than any other in the state. That
he-tho man of only moderate means was
willing to give up $1,000 position to accept
one paying only 81 800 is sufficient evidence of
his disinterested zeal for better methods of road
administration and construction.
So far as actual construction is concerned
dhe highway commission can do nothing. The
theory of the constitutional provision under
which it was appointed was that it should have
the distribution of the proceeds Of tax of one
tenth of mill, and of other funds devoted to
road and bridge construction, to aid counties
building properly constructed roads. The one
fenth of mill tax has not been authorized, and
the Legislature took care to appropriate, under
the usual 1og-roling, "pork-barP' system, the
rest of the funds. The commission has only

Burke Making Good

SN' ~ i'sJ
When the state pure food bill be-
came a law at the last session of the
Legislature ever the most sanguine had
little idea that it could even be made
operative. Fortunately for Wyoming
the man selected for commissioner
Hon. e. w. Burke, was a man who was
| not seeking a %sinecure, but N who be-
lieved that Wyoming had tn eright to
demand hard work from its officials.
The situation at hat time was truly de-
plorable. Large corporations, posses
sing unlimited resources, were selling
a%dulterated or impure foodstuffs to the
dealers of this state who in turn were
retailing them TO their customers.
A less courageous man than Mr.
Burke might have been daunted by the
outlook. Appointed to administer a
law which in itself vas simply an TX
pertinent; opposed by some of the larg-
est corporations in the country and
having but the luke-warm support of
the people, his task seemed almost an
impossible one. He rose bravely to
the occasion and soon had proper
chemical analyses made and promptly
blacklisted brands of impure or adult
Grated articles. Not content with this
he commenced a wal on the firms whC
persisted in violating the law and al
ready has secured the arrest n con
%viction of a number of their Wyoming
representatives.
Mr.. Burke has made a law which
might, If its administration had beer
left to n weaker man, become an abso
lutte farce. a power for good in the
state and a safeguard to the public
He deserves not only the warmest com
mendation for his services but the
hearty aid and cooperation of every
one. His record is one that he may
well be proud of.-Leader.

REvIviNG THE MORAL LAW.

At the meeting of the Young Mems
Literary club last evening. there was
an active discussion of President
Roosevelt's now famous muck rake
speech, reference to which was also
made in a very able paper by Mr.. f. b.
Sheldon on the Capitalization of
Wealth"
Charles Il. Carpenter of Laramie and
in the discussion he made some re
marks hat it struck us would make n
profitable Saturday sermonette for Tri-
81 bune readers.
Mention has been made here to-
night" said Judge Carpenter, that the
president drew his main thought in his
so-called muck rake speech from Bun
vans Pilgrims Progress, but it appears
to me that it was from an even older
book that the principle was first laid
down and the muck rake speech is but
a modern Interpretation of the words
spoken On Sinai, Thou shalt not bear
false witness against thy neighbour
IF we study it carefully, the moral
law, old and simple as it is, will be
found to cover nearly every feature of
our complex civilization. There can be
no simpler law in the regulation of the
oppressive trusts than the ancient die
tum of the Decalogue, Thou shalt not
steali'
Il believe the moral law of the ages
is adequate to meeting every emergen
cy of our daily life and the nation
should become better acquainted with
the Bible and its teachings.
In these days when new problems
appear to compel additional laws our
national life would be UNNECESSARILY
benefited if the politician, the artisan,
the business man would go back to the
simple yet splendidly comprehensive
commands that were laid down in the
days of Moses.
There has also been mentioned
here this evening the invitation that
Will be extended to the people of the
country-to come in upon the rich In
dian lands in the central part of the
state. | believe that the interest of
n part of the state should be the in
terest of all. Here in southeastern wy
oming, though we may get no direct
beneht from the opening of the reser-
Walton. we should do all we can to make
II a success for the good of the COM
monweaith. Incidentally We may be
able to say n good word for our Wheat
land and Goshen Hole enterprises anC
also keep the public reminded tina
there is a land of promise on our Lar
annie plains. Wyoming Tribune,

Clipped from the Casper Tribune.
Judges Carpenter and Matson re-
turned to their respective homes las;
Friday.
Mrs. J. w. Crawford left last week
for Laramie to visit a short time
among friends and relatives.
James Vine, an old time resident OF
Laramie, visited in Casper several days
last week with J.. w. Crawford, and
from here went to Shoshoni, where he
intends to engage in business.

urday from Chicago, where he had

a host of nervous irritations, make life

a sense of suffocation, hot flashes, dir

For the Public Good


Many men will accept an office of
responsibility and without salary; but
it isn't every nan who will fill it. Our
townsman, DR.. Wilson, however,
doesn't belong in that class. AS presi-
dent of the state fair commission Mr..
Wilson devoted weeks of his time and
spent probably $1,000 out of his own
pocket in travelling over the midwest
from Chicago to Denver, in making the
tair the success it was. Today, as the
Wyoming representative and vice,
president of the National Woodrow
ers' association the gentleman is again
~devoting his time and money without
thought of reward to building up that
organization and protecting the inter-
ests of that industry. During his re
cent trip to Chicago he met the com
mission men, the packers and other
allied interests including the railroad
officials. and while matters have not
yet been adjusted as desired yet it is
safe to say that as result of his work
material concessions will be made and
a large mount of money saved to the
sheepmen of the midwest. 1t is one
thing to accept an ofice-it is anoth-
er thing to fill it.-Sagebrush Philoso-

The sale of the Jack Creek COM

in prices will be this year. This price

from Rawlins sales, before making n
