Ny Dear Sir-Your letter OF the goth
inst. relative 10 a boy formerly an inmate
Of the Sockanosset school but now en-
ployed in n Providence printing office, has
been received by me this morning. You
are evidently under the impression that
| the governor has authority In regard "a
the releasing OF boys from that school.
while the fact Is that ne has no such
authority whatever. the entire control OF
the school being In the hands Of the boa rd
of state charities and corrections.
All that did upon the receipt Of your
FIRST letter was 10 advise that the boy
should not be allowed 10 work outside
Of tire school until ne had been officially
paroled by the board: there was no
order about n. as that would have been
entirely beyond my power
| have written this TO remove any mis-
apprehension Of the conditions surround
Ing this case so far as | am concerned
and that you may thoroughly understand
the status OF the case before taking any
further steps. I have also referred your
letter 10 the board OF state charities and

THE PEOPLES CHOICE.

In endorsing Hon. Francis ID. War.
ren for reelection to the United States
senate, the republican state conven.
ton undoubtedly acted In strict accord
with the wishes of the people Of Wyo-
ming. The resolution had not been
previously considered by any consider
able number of the members of the
convention and it came in the nature
OF a surprise, but its reception was n
tremendous ovation, showing in the
most conclusive name that there
was not the slightest dissent to such
action. In every section of the state
the people look to the return of Sena.
tor Warren with a deep sense of graft
tication, This feeling is true of demo
Gratis as well as republicans. From a
personal standpoint there is little
question but that a large majority of
the democrats of Wyoming would rath-
er see Senator Warren reelected than
to have him succeeded by a member
OF their W party, although from u
party standpoint they would probably
vote against him, knowing at the time
that they were injuring themselves.
From now till election they will in,
wardly hope that nothing win arise to

In the election Senator Warren will
LEND strength to the ticket. His great
personal following in all sections of
he state will urge with all their might
that nothing be done that will in any
manner jeopardize his chances. There
fore it is a certainty that strong tickets
will be named by republican county
conventions.
Since the state convention was held
there has been nothing but commenda-
tory expressions from the people in
their references to this portion OF the
conventions work. They have been
for Senator Warren and are glad that
the convention has made it plain that
he is the unquestioned choice of the
party.

ST. PAUL LADY IN

Bubb of st. Paul, while in the city
Wednesday called at the Union Pacific
headquarters and became greatly inter-
ested in the picture there of General
Grant and his party, which was taken
1t Fort Sanders in 1867 and contained
many notables of the army and rail
way world, says the Omaha Bee. Mrs,
Bulbs picture is in the group, her hus.
band at that time being a lieutenant
who was stationed there. She recalls
the fun General Grant had in getting
ready for the picture and of the furry
of the women and how anxious they
were to make a good appearance, as
the picture was looked upon as histor.
ic. She recalled the stirring times of
that period, how eighteen r~ustlers
were hanged in one day by the vigi.
lantes and all the other excitement of
the frontier camp. This picture is in
great demand and thousands of re-
quests are received from senators, con-
gressmen and other prominent men

WHY DID HE DO IT?

Governor Folk said in his address at
Madison Square garden, I'VE come to
voice the love and faith of millions in
the great leader who has again set foot
upon his native land" The faith of
the governor and many other promi.
nent democrats has been rudely shak,
en- by Mr.. Bryan's warm advocacy OF
the government ownership of railroads.
They canno see why he should force
that question upon the party and the
people. 1t seems to them as II it were
done in the pure wantonness of power
that he knows he is to be nominated
and feels at liberty to say whatever
he pleases.
Democrats like Henry Watterson and
Governor Folk are opposed for a mum.
Der of reasons to Mr.. Bryan's new de-
parture. They look on it as bad poll
ties. They dread the increased patron
g and power of the national govern
ment If it were to take over great rail-
road systems. They do not believe in
the w~orkability of Mr.. Bryan's plan for
the ownership of trunk lines by the
general government and local lines
by the states. If the trunk systems
were stripped of their twigs and
branches so that the states might have
some railroad lines to play with, the
railroad service would be greatly i'm,
paired. There would be constant fric.
ton between the states and the gen,
eral government.
Governor Folk is opposed to the
state ownership Of railroads. Most
southerners are, for the system lasted
there to so comparatively recent a per
iod that they can remember it and its
evils. Georgia, North Carolina and
other states have had their fill of state
railroads. Michigan and Illinois had
theirs at an earlier day. This state
would not, if it could, buy the odds and
ends of lines which would be left scat
tered over the prairies after the gen.
eral government had bought up the
trunk lines which traverse it. Nor
does this state-nor other states-wish
to lose the taxes that would cease to
be collected if the general government
were the owner of the railroads.
A special fear torments southern
democrats. 1t is that if the federal gov
eminent were to w the railroads in
their part Of the country the laws Of
southern states that there shall be sep-
arate cars for blacks and whites would
cas- to be operative. That is a sub
ject which Mr.. Bryan is not prepared
to discuss. He can take it up when he
reaches the south. This phase of the
subject does not interest northern men.

About Water Rights

We wish to call the attention of in.
tending purchasers of irrigated lands
with adjudicated water rights to the
question of the proper conveyance of
these water rights. Under recent de-
cisions of the supreme court of Wyo-
ming, it is altogether questionable as
to the status of water rights, whether
they are attached to the land appro-
priated for or whether they can be con-
veyed promiscuously without regard to
vested rights in land.
Recently cases have come to our
knowledge where the lands have been
conveyed, and the water withheld, if
therefore, the courts sustain the rights
to the water as separate and apart
from the land, it is very important that
any one purchasing lands with water
rights adjudicated for it, that the con-
veyance in proper terms set out the
description of the water right con-
veyed.
This question has opened up a vast
field for speculation in water rights.
True, without the consent of the state
board of control, a transfer may be of
doubtful validity, but, conditions may
change within the rext decade which

They are opposed to the government
ownership of railroads because it
would be necessary to issue bonds for
or twenty billions OF dollars to
buy them; because their purchase
would put on the government pay roll
million and a half men whose votes
the party in power would seek to Sc
cu.e by subservience to their demands;
and because railroad service. instead
of improving steadily as it has been
doing under private ownership, would
become inefficient. Its management
would be fossllized.
There is no demand for government
ownership except from a few radical
or scattered people. 1t is, as fenry
Watterson says, "un-American and I'M
democratic, illogical to all our profess
sions on the side of simple, efficacious,
and upright government" 1t is no
wonder that prominent democrats, af-
ter reading Mr.. Bryan's speech, say
plaintiyely, why did he do it,"
He has done it, mi he means to
stand by 1t. He derides the "timid poll
ticians,' He followed the lead of his
conscience when 1t babe him support
free silver, and that same conscience
now orders him to &C in for the govern
ment ownership of railroads.-Chicago

1t is announced that Mr.. Fred d.
Hammond of Casper, who was chair
man of the democratic state central
committee, has renounced his allie
glance to the democratic party. He took
part In the republican primaries be-
fore the recent nominating convention
and has otherwise signifed his inten-
ton of being or the right side. Mr..
Hammond had an opportunity as state
chairman to sift democracy to the bot
tom and his action ought to be good
evidence to the young men of the state
that there is nothing SO far as the
people of Wyoming are concerned in
the democratic professions. Why
don't the few remaining democrats in
this state come over and make the
thing unanimous?
