WYOMING is PROPERLY RECOG-
NIZED.

At the national convention of sheep
growers held in the city of Denver wy.
oming was generously recognized,
three Of her citizens being placed up
on the official roster. In a special dis
patch to the Cheyenne Leader the fol
lowing statement is made:

Of delegates from every sheep raising
state in the union these men we're Sc
lected as the most competent to handle
the AFFAIRS of the national association.
Or. Wilson s~trenuously declined the
nomination for western vice president,
declaring that the Office should go to
my S'eNS VI udllOs DuL tue convention
would not listen to his refusal, and he
was elected amid tremendous applause.
THE election of Mr.. Walker was the
result OF the efficient service which
he has rendered as secretary of the
Wyoming association and commission.
No other candidate that could be
thought of combined so many qualihca-
tons for the important position Of ma,
tional secretary, and Mr.. Walkers
election was a plain recognition of
merit.
Senator Warren made no campaign
for reelection as president of the as
sociation, but the success of his admin
istration had been so great that a
change could not be contemplated as
long as he would consent to serve.
The talk of the convention after
the election was of the ability of wy.

stamping out scabies was pronounced
remarkable and highly commendable,

MoNDELL AND STATEHOOD.

One of he best speeches made in
congress during the present session is
Mr.. Mondell's argument on the state
hood bill. He favored statehood for
Oklahoma and Indian Territory, but
was opposed to j%olnture in the case of
Arizona and New Mexico. As the ques-
ton could not be divided under the
rule adopted by the house, Mr.. Mondeh
stood by his convictions and voted
against the bill. He was in the minor
ity, to be sure, but there are times in
a mans political career when his sense
of right and duty demand that he shall
oppose the majority. In doing this our
congressman does not feel that he has
become at all estranged from the ad-
minlstration or the speaker Of the house
of representatives, who earnestly ad
.yocated the passage Of the statehood
bin. They are broad enough to con
I%euIve that overy man has the right to
back up his own Judgment of his vote
land honor him for 1t.
The statehood bill may not be of any
effect even though it passes both
houses and becomes a law. The PEG
pie of the political subdivisions affect.

THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE DE,
CISION.

While The Republican lays no claim
to legal .erudition, 1t is free to say that
the opinion handed down by the su'
irene court in the agricultural college
case is an able, comprehensive and log
| ical discussion of the question. The
opinion was by Chief Justice Charles
N. Potter and was c|oncurred in by Jus
tees Beard and a OrsdeL Tho re-
suit is the utter annihilation Of the az
riculural college at Lander and the
law creating the same. Both are dead.
The court does not pass upon the
constitutionality Of the act establishing
the agricultural college, so ably argued
by Mr.. n. e. Corthel for the university,
but contents itself with UNFOLDING the
constitutionality of the repeating act
and the contention hat the college was
not a private corporation and that its
charter could therefore be amended or
repeal at the pleasure of the legis,
lature.
So far as the University Of Wyoming
Is concerned, the atmosphere has been
cleared. The agricultural college will
remain where it Is probably for all time
to come. The controversy has been
heated, acrimonious and at times very
bitter. but the people of Albany county
and. for that matter, the greater por,
ton Of the state, have felt that right
justice and public policy was on the
side of the university.
There are some questions still to be
passed upon. What is to become of
the estate of Philip Weiser, willed to
the agricultural college at Lander? Pri-
or to the passage of the act repeating
the act creating that institution, the
trustees thereof purchased a tract Of
land for college purposes, consisting Of
100 acres, the purchase price being
$4,000. This land is now doubtless the
property of the state of Wyoming, the
agricultural college at Lander being a
thing of the past as well as the board
of trustees who made the purchase of
the land. There is also a large sum of
money remaining in the hands Of the
members of tho recent board which
win doubtless pass into the possession
of the state, as the legal heir of Weis-
err, he having no children or other rela-
tives to succeed to the property. Any
moneys expended by the board of trus-
tees Of the college since the passage
of the repeating act of 1905 were of
course paid out without proper war
rant Of law and will have to be made
good.
The college fight has covered a pc
Rod of fifteen years. 1t has occupied
the attention to II greater or less de
gree Of every session Of the state leg

suit just decided in the supreme court

PHENOMENA OF DREAMLAND.
Scientists Explanation of the Visions
of Sleep.

Scientists Explanation of the Visions
of Sleep.
A scientist explains some of the
strange phenomena OF dreams by say
ing that they are due to what he calls
hereditary memory" He takes the
falling through space" dream and
points out that after suffering the
mental agony of falling the sleeper
escapes the shock of the actual stop
ping. The explanation is hat the fall
ing sensations have been transmitted
from remote ancestors who were for
tunate enough to save themselves,
after falling from great heights in
tree tops. by clutching the branches.
The molecular changes I'M the cere-
bral cells due to the shock of stop
ping could not be transmitted, be-
cause victims falling to the bottom
would be killed. In a similar manner,
by reverting to the habits of animals
which existed centuries ago. the
same investigator finds an explanation
for the mental state experienced by
individuals in various dreams-the
pursuing monster" dream, the rep
tile and vermin" dream, color dreams,
suffocation dreams, flying dreams and
the like.

OLD PLACE WAS GOOD ENOUGH.
Comprehensive Reason Why Citizen
Came Home.

Squire Lord, of local fame in Eff
fingham, N. H., fifty years ago, had
accumulated, by all sorts of methods,
a fortune for the times and place.
Keeping the country store, being prac-
tically the "bank' of those parts and
increasing wealth beyond expenditures
had nourished an ambition to live in
a place larger and with more social
opportunities than the little village af-
forded. So he packed up one autumn,
took a house in Portland, which was
the town o. the world to country peo-
pie then, and with his family started
in to cut a dash.
To his chagrin, he found he was one
of many in that place, and not a
scrape or bow was coming his way.
Christmas saw him back, bag and
baggage, in bingham, and that even
ing in his store, to the inquiry of one
of the village l~oafers, Why'd We come
back, squire, fore you'd calculated?"
he replied:
I've had enough of that place. Yer
see, I'd rather be a king among hogs
than a hog among kings"
