flake Nothing
for Granted

Printed in heavy type along one
edge of Chairman Burdick's letter
paper is the admonition: Take
nothing for granted but get out
the vote"
The warning is timely and
should be needed by everyone in
terested in republican this
fall and a continuance of our pros
porous times. There is absolutely
only one danger in Wyoming this
year and that is the apathy of the
voters, the too firm belief that
"the ticket will go through any
way, whether l vote or not"
Democracy offers nothing this
year and voters will frequently be
heard to say, my vote makes nc
difference" That view of the sit
uation was held once before and q
republican Legislative candidate
was defeated by three votes in
this county.
1t is as important this year that
every eligible voter cast his ballot
as ever before. Carbon county
certainly wants a republican legis.

The timber will be cleaned up

A CAPILLARY GOLD BRICK.

He wrote a sonnet to her hair,
A glowing pen crestion;
No crown of glory could compare
With that bright mesh of gold up
there
Upon a head a queen could wear
For subjects alteration.
In pretty lines of dainty mold,
In easy-running measure,
His sentiments most freely rolled
From off his fountain pen of gold
As he in 'raptured phrasings told
n OF that ARE browning treasure.
He said that Cupids nestled there
AS sly as hiding sparrows,
And from that maze of beauty rare,
That bright ambush of golden

That threaded crown beyond COM

The maiden read the lines and said
He was a stupid guesser,
And smiled as she prepared for

And took that mass of golden

That Cupid maze, from off her

And laid it on the dresser.

Senator Warren Asks Why
Revise The Tariff When All
Are Doing Well

WASHINGTON. Nov. 17--In one of
the morning papers today Senator
Warren OF Wyoming gives his opinion
OF tariff revision as follows. Il SEQ
no reason for an immediate revision
of the tariff, and | do not think Il Is
likely to come soon. OF course there
are good many people who want the
tariff revised. A large number of
producers of raw material would like
to have schedules lowered on mater.
ial produced by the other fellow. but
not by any means on their own.
manufacturer In one part of the coun-
try would be anxious to have the tariff
lowered on raw material used by him.
but would not be so anxious to have
II reduced on raw material used by
other manufacturers. These people
constitute one class of reformers; an
other class and a much smaller one Is
composed OF those who earnestly de-
sire 1t on the ground that II will bene-
tit the whole country and who are
perfectly disinterested. But the mum.
Der Is not sufficiently large to make
general demand Nothing will be
done at the short session of congress
and 1t Is not likely that special SEES
sion Will he called after March 4.
Conditions may so change during the
next year or two as to make revision
undesirable. For instance. there may
be decrease In the most of living
without any corresponding decline In
wages paid to labor In fact. AT pres
ent wages are constantly being in.
creased In every line of industry.
There Is no Sign of financial depres-
sion or OF want In any part of the
country. Why change the tariff
when everybody Is so prosperousy"
