RUSSELL sAGB's WILL

A man protesting to speak for one OF
the nieces OF Russell Sage is quoted as
giving the reason why it will be quite
safe 20 bring suit to set aside his will.
There is no hope of winning the suit
unless it can be proved that five years
ego, when the will was made, and con-
%tinuously until his death, Mr.. Sage was
not of sound mind. This will be hard
to prove. In the long run the heir who
brings the suit is likely to lose. but he
will not lose much. II has been agreed.
so the story goes, that one heir only
shall sue, II If the case is lost he will
lose his inheritance, but a contribution
of 81, 900 apiece from each of the other
tw~enty-four heirs will have the effect
of giving them a c $24 900 without
risk. 1t is hoped, however, that Mrs.
Sage will be eager to compromise, and
here the peculiar ingratitude and cold
blood of the heirs is revealed, II the
story be true.
Mrs. Sage is now well IN in years.
The care Of a great fortune will be a
burden to her. A vexatious lawsuit
may shorten her life. The heirs are to
say to her, IF you don't settle this
case out of court you shall never have
the handling of a cent of the millions.
We will carry this from court to court
and delay the ina decision until after
you are dead" If she will pay each of
the heirs $2,OOO,OOO she may have what
1t left.
1t would be hard to find a more In
iquitous scheme to take from the
widow what is rlghtfully hers. Her
husband wished her to have the money
which his shrewdness had accumulat-
ed. 1t makes no difference what she
means to do with it. The public Is in
terested in the belief, founded upon the
known character of Mrs. Sage, that the
larger portion Of 1t will be devoted to
public uses. But whether she will use
1t in that way or another, it would be
cruel to take advantage of her age and
the effect of the laws delays to com
pei her to surrender a large part of her
inheritance in order that she may have
the pleasure Of spending a part OF it
1t is much as II a highwayman had a
pistol at her head to force her to yield
II the attack is successful it will be a
conspicuous example of the weakness
of the laws which allow themselves tc
become weapons in the hands of law
yers.
This same thing occur not infre
quently. 1t is often cheaper to com
promise than to fight. But it does moi
often happen that there is a frank con
~fession hat the object of bringing sui
is not so much to obtain rights as tC
%terrify another party into acquiescencC
in wrong.-Chicago Tribune.

STATE PRESS COMMENT.

Schnitger's Eminent Qualifications
At the republican state convention to
be held at Casper, the delegation repre-
senting Laramie county will have the
privilege and pleasure of presenting
the name of Hon. William R Schnitger
of Cheyenne as its candidate for the
nomination of state treasurer. In all
the state, it is safe to assume, there is
one whose selection by the republican
party would give more general or wide
spread satisfaction. In his long resi-.
dence in Wyoming Mr.. Schnitger has
gained for himself the absolute conf
dence and the sincerest esteem of his
fellow-citizens who know him to be a
progressive and public-spirited citizen,
and one who has the welfare of Wyo-
ming deeply at heart. His long and
honorable career as a business man,
whose integrity and probity has been
admitted and admired everywhere; the
unusual executive ability and the ac-
curate and intimate knowledge which
he possesses of conditions existing with
in this state, coupled with the fact that
he has more than made good in any po-
sition which he has heretofore been
placed, render him the most suitable
and genuinely deserving man for the
preferment which he seeks.
MI. Schnitger does not offer personal
qualifications and business ability as
the only grounds for his selection.
He is a popular and genial gentleman,
capable of making and holding the
wide circle of devoted and formidable
friends throughout the state, who are
now insisting upon his nomination. He
is a republican of the best and highest
type, a man who sincerely and consci-
e~ntiously advocates the doctrines and
principles of the party of which he has
so long been a useful and active mem
Der, and which now owes to itself to
appreciate his services and recognize
his claims for recognition.-Leader.

That the officials Of Colorado and
Idaho are anarchists.
THAT the national government and
President Roosevelt have, by their lack
of action, indorsed this anarchy.
That such officials are the direct
cause Of mob law"
Whatever the principles of the social
list party, such charges as these can
not make it friends. Better such
things had not been said, for no good
American citizen will approve of them.
1t is not to be presumed that the av-
erage elector of the United States will
support a political party which makes
such broad assertions and dares to
charge our president with anarchy. Let
this be our guiding lesson in the com
ing campaign. so that we may vote in

The most loyal thing the citizens of
this town can do is to observe with re.
ligious care the quarantine regulations
and obey the instructions of the health
officer. Energetic enforcement of the
law will stamp out every yestige of
disease inside of thirty days. 1t is too
bad that eight light cases should have
been magnihed by outsiders into elgh-
" and that the report should have been
industriously circulated that this city
was under strict quarantine by the
state board of health, for such exag-
g]erations travel faster than the truth
can ever hope to, and the city is great

FIourina Out 100 sons-in.Law.

A few years ago, in the town of Lit
Teton, N. H., lived a man named Ben
Fiske, who was the typical New Eng
lander. One day a visitor at his house
asked him If he had a large family.
NO" he replied, 81 have only three
girls, but | have 100 s%onsinlaw."
How is that?" asked the stranger
astonished.
well, stranger, it is this way. My

two girls married good for nothing
men. They are nothing but ciphers.

Answering the call of Chairman Sher-
committee, President Roosevelt has
contributed his dollar TO the campaign
fund. This is further testimony to the
fact that he is a good party man as
well as a good president. If all lovers
of good government would send in thir
dollars in the same way, it would re-
lieve the committee of the painful ne
cessity of calling upon the large manu-
facturers and trust magnates for large
contributions. Good republicans can
afford to pay a dollar for the kind of
government their party is giving the
nation.
