Little Robert Larier Rountree.

Little Robert Lanier, son of Mr..
and Mrs. r. L. Rountree, was born
July 81, 1906. When twelve days old
he contracted cold and cough from
which he almost died, but his will
was strong and he battled on till just
about a week before his death, when
another trouble-his stomach-arose.
Then by degrees poor Lanier weak
ened away. Through his illness he
was patient and cheerful beyond ex-
pectation. AS the sun was rising Fri
day morning, December 7, at half
past seven o'clock, his little life came
to close. The brightness of their
home has gone to be with Jesus and
to beckon US on to home more fair.

Representative Parsons, of New
York, has introduced bill in Con-
gress prohibiting the employment of
children in factories and mines. The
bill would be far raching in it's effect,
but it is doubtful if it will pass at the
short session of Congress. 1t is said
that the bill has the support of or
ganized labor in the north. The bi
provides among other things, that
the railroads shall not carry the pro-
duct of any factory or mine that en-
ploys children under fourteen years
of age.
Citizens of Lexington county will

not give right of ways over their land

To the Editor of The Dispatch:

we are grateful.

inquisitor. The results were astound-
ing-to the gas companies.
Then came the life insurance scan
dial. Again this hard working, clear
Drained lawyer who had so great a
genius for figures was called TO the
task. Again the results were astound-
ing. Just as the insolently inclined
gas barons had been taken down by
this keen.minded lawyer, just so the
kaughty life insurance magnates were
humbled.
Mr.. Hughes has always been a stu
dent. He was studious even as a child,
seemingly acquiring the habit by in
hcritance. He was born in Glens Falls,
N. Y, in 1862. His father was a Bap-
fist minister and up to the time the
boy was 10 years old neither of his
parents doubted he was destined for
the pulpit. When Charles was young
the Rev. Mr.. Hughes moved to New
ark, N. j., where young Hughes enter
cd the public school, from which he
was graduated in 1873. That fall he
entered the high school, but before
many months the family moved to New
York.
His career in school was remarkable.
Added t ohis ability to grasp the ele-
mentary subjects which formed the
curriculum of the school, the lad was
much given to the writing of ponder
Gus essays, the subjects of which would
IL these days seem to be far beyond
the capacity of a boy of his age. One
subject, THE Limitation of the Human
Mind" and another was THE Evils of
Light Literature"
From the public schools young
Hughes entered Madison university at
Hamilton, N. Y, which is now Colgate
university. He remained in this insti-
tuition of learning until 1878 and then
decided tina. the curriculum of Brown
university would suit him better.
At the end of his junior year at
Brown Hughes took the Dunn premium
for the highest standing in English
literature and in his senior year won
the Carpenter premium for general at
tGinments. He had the classical ora
ton on commencement day, when he
was graduated, in 1881. This was a
third honor then.
Mr.. Hughes election to the high of
fee of governor of the state of New
York raises him into the presidential

in. the Journal says state Auditor
Grant stands accused by the republican
state examiner of being an embezzler,'
and that they (the republicans) can
not plead ignorance of his ~defaIcations,
as they were published broadcast"
Now what did the examiner really say?
In speaking OF the sums over which
there was n dispute between the audi
tor and the examiner in 1894, $1,S1i.5O,
the report of the examiner says: "All
of which last amount was found to be
represented by deposit with the First
National bank of Cheyenne, and checks
in the office of the auditor
Does that look like an embezzlement
or a ~defalcation? All of the money
was either in the bank or in the office
Of the auditor and the bank deposit
was to the credit of the state officer
and not to the credit of an individual.
And this was paid to the state treas
urer. Furthermore, this was in 1904,
two years ago, and not at the present
time, as stated by the Journal, its state
ment being in the present tense.
If there ever was a criminal libel
published, the Journal is guilty. Under
no circumstances has it any excuse
al the present time for publishing these
unthruths. In a financial way, the
Journal is beyond reach. Its entire out
H. is not worth enough to compensate
a good lawyer for conducting a case.
GG Mr.. Grant should cause the editor
to be arrested, the only satisfaction he
could get would be to send him to Jail
for a time. This he ought TO do and
thus aid honest journalism in the state
OF wyoming.

A ~vILLAINoUs LIBEL.

Many people hold that all is fair In
love, war and politics, and proceeding
upon this assumption they tell a good
many stories prior to election day that
will not bear the light of truth. While
The Republican does not believe the
name of a man should be traduced at
any time unless there is truth behind
the assertions made, it also believes
there is no excuse whatever for con
tiuuing calumnious and untruthful at.
tacks after election day is passed. Be
fore election day the Cheyenne Leader
printed u base libel concerning Mr.,
LIE Roy Grant and the SANDER was elab-
Grated upon to some extent by the
Carbon County journal. Not satisfied
with this attack, for which there was
no excuse whatever, the Journal of
November 10. four days after election,
publishes the following comments:
The result of the election in the
state Tuesday was a severe jolt for the
democrats and the entire state ticket
I. inc "AtIbAlNAIAa was NANNNNN NNSRtSN
the fact that nearly every officer on
that ticket was proven to be n CRATER
IT connection with the Shoshone water
steal and the further fact that Auditor
Grant stands indicted by the report

ing appropriated state moneys which
he refuses to pay into the state treas

Ii is a sad commentary on the repub.

OF the morality of the state in Its
keeping. that State Aditor Grant, who
stands accused by the republican state
examiner of being an embezzler, should
not only receive as many votes as 9th.
er candidates on his ticket, but in
many places ran ahead. They cannot
plead ignorance of his ~defalcations, as
they were published broadcast"
Mr.. Grant does not stand indicted
by the report of State Examiner Hen
derson of having appropriated state
moneys which he refuses to pay into
the state treasury" and the editor of
the Journal ought to be aware of the
fact. The statement he now gives to
the public is a base and malicious libel
calculated to injure the good name Of
n man who eve at any time used one
dollar of the states money. State
money coming into his possession in
the transaction of his duties as insur-
ance commissioner were always kept
in bank to the credit of the state audi
to- and not in his private account. Mr..
Grant never received, directly or in
directly, any compensation in any way
for the use of this money and every dol
al of it has been turned over to. the
state treasurer, as the editor of the
Journal could nave learned had he tax
