much elated over the fact that the
receipts in March was greater than in
any other month. Day county is
res ,onsible for a share of the glory.
County Treasurer H. o Wickre col.
l,cted during the month Of February
$77 ,542.52. or this amount $62 093 SO
was for taxes and $I5,093l7 for mis-
cellaneous receipts. This is record
that will remain long time in this
comfy as it is one.third more than was
ever before collected in the same time
The large amount is due to the tire
less efforts of our county treasurer, the
county commissioners and to Sheriff
Gross who has been stirring no the
delinqueuts for many months. These
officers are all making good records.

Aldrich of Rhode Island, and 1.-The
"Rhode Island system" is in cahoots
with the Wyoming system" so War
rem and Aldrich take turns wearing the
crown. Mondell is Warren's man Fri
day in the house, say Ridgeway's. He
has made his fortune and become a
millionaire out Of stolen coal lands,
which the Wyoming system has allow
ed him to acquire. The people of wy
oming will be surprised to learn this,
and also to know that Senator Clark is
rolling in wealth which Warren and his
system has enabled him to bag, while
he has been representing the Union
Pacific railroad in the senate.
Had We mistrusted that Senator War
rem was a ruler of such mighty and des-
potic power W ecertainly would have
feared TO ask Cody children to sing at
his meeting here. Had they displeased
the Wyoming car, he might have or
dered their decapitation, e~lectrocution
or some other cruel castigation-in
which case the democratic editor of the
republican Enterprise would have been
so hot under the collar" that he
might have melted the names ana
kicked clear over the dashboard.
We have believed heretofore that the
Supreme Being was the only individual
who could make a world out of nothing;
but after perusing Ridgeway's of No
vember II, We have altered our theo-
logical convictions on that point. The
Ridgeway correspondent car finish
that stunt before breakfast and ave
sweat a hair.-Cody Stockgrower and

STATE PRESS M
1.-THE Wyoming SYSTEM

"The Wyoming SYSTEM
A free and fearless press is the safe.
guard of the republic. Reform is an ex-
cellent thing when reform is necessary,
Exposure of graft is most commendable
when graft exists.
But there is always a chance that
in their desire to secure a large circu-
lation reform" papers and magazines
may manufacture stories of graft and
publish falsehoods or Congregations in
the name of reform.
This appears to be the motive behind
a marvellous story in a recent number
Ridgeway's, entitled SEEKING the Pub.
lie Domain"
Many of the statements are so evil
IDENTIFY ridiculous as to u a smile
TO come to the face Of any well-inform.
ed westerner. The only danger is that
the credulous eastarneralways ready
to believe the people of the west to be
thieves, outlaws and murderers-may
swallow the story blood raw.
ACCOLu4AS ~ IGu6SMdg . oSAaNSA :"
L. Warren of Wyoming is the car OF
all America. He makes and unmakes
department heads at Washington, die
ta.es cabinet appointments and even
decides who may be the nominees for
president and vice president.
THE Wyoming system" runs the en-
tire government, and Senator Warren
runs the Wyoming system-inyented
it, in fact, and has built it up. If a
cattle company wishes to secure a
county or two of public land all it has
to do is to see Warren. If a railroad
company desires to secure a few hun
dred thousand acres of coal land its
president squares Senator Warren. He
touches the button that operates the
Wyoming system and, 10, tits done!
Senator Clark is Warren's creature

ators are his willing slaves, except

SECRETARY TAFT
IS THE BUSY ONE
coRPULENT CABINET OFFICER IN
CHARGE OF GOVERNMENTS
WAR DEPARTMENT.
Scores of Big Questions to Be Solved
and Since Return of President from
Panama He Has Had Much Work
as an Advisor-Secretary Shaw's
Movements Unknown.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The busiest
man in the United States, probably, is
Secretary Taft. The corpulent cabi.
net official has on his hands scores of
big questions that need immediate at
t%ention, and he is rushed to keep up
with his work. The return of Presi-
dent Roosevelt added to his woes, for
he is in demand as an advisor. Then
there is his annual report, a work oil
head-splitting proportions, for it cov.
pines, Panama, Porto Rico and, just
now, Cuba.
Works Without Interruption.
For the last two or three days the
secretary has locked himself in his Of
fetal castle, lowered the portcullis,
raised the drawbridge and withdrawn
from the eyes of the world. In short,
he has adopted the scheme of locking
on the inside every door leading to his
own suite in the war department, and
he thus is enabled to work without in
t%erruptions. 1t may be that his labors
will reduce his flesh. but this Is alto
gether unlikely, for the heavyweight
of the Roosevelt official family seems
to thrive and grow even fatter on hard
work.
The Sphinx of the Cabinet.
Just at the present time the sphinx
in politics is Secretary Shaw. Just
what the secretary of the treasury is
to do when he withdraws from the cab
met March 4 is difficult to prophesy,
for he refuses to talk. Although he
does not deny that fattering offers
have been made by big financial insti-
buttons in New York, he looks myster-
ious when his interviewer seeks to
learn further facts.
May Return to Iowa.
1t is generally believed among the
elect, however, that the secretary will
return to Iowa and manage the affairs
of a national bank in his home town of
Dennison. 1t is recognized that Mr..
Shaw has not, by any means, put aside
his presidential ambitions, even though
his political enemies control the party
machinery Of his state. 1t is likely
that he will remain where the light
ming may strike his political rods if it
comes his way.

AS TO CAR

The business men of Greeley, Colo,
threaten to bring suit for damages
against the railroads doing their carry
ing trade for the reason that they can.
not get all the cars they want to trans.
port their goods. The people of Gree.
ley arr not alone in this particular
trouble, There are others throughout
the length and breadth of this land
Cars are short upon all railroads of the
United States and 1t is impossible for
tho railroads TO supply what they have
not got. There would appear to be as
much reason for the people of all sec
lions of the country to bring suit as for
the people of Greeley. This great rush
Of business hat Is upon the entire ma.
ton cannot well be helped, even by the
railroads. They can do the best they
can and that is all.
Recently the Railway Age published
n statement of the increase in bust
ness during the past decade and II we
remember correctly that statement
showed that the amount Of freight ION.
mage had doubled, while the number of
cars to haul it had only increased
about fifty per cent, and the number
of engines had only increased one.
third. To be sure, the size of the cars
is greater and the hauling capacity of
the engines has been increased, but not
in anything like the ratio of the in
crease in business.
Just at the present time the Union
Pacific is having a time of it west Of
Rawlins. The congestion is something
enormous. Green River is blocked and
there are seven hundred cars at Raw
Inns. The districts from Rawlins east
are in comparatively good shape, but
they cannot move things very rapidly
because of the fact that cars annot be
received for the west.
More cars and more engines are be
ing obtained just as fast as car works
and locomotive works can turn them
out, but all kinds of manufacturing
plants. are away behind with their or
ders n hence cannot overcome the
present congestion.
Unless the American people take a
day off n allow their business to
catch up with itself, this thing is likely
to continue for some time to come.
