NOTHING TO COMPLAIN OF.

AT n recent meeting of the Young
Mems Literary club of Cheyenne Mr..
Charles Argesheimer, chief clerk Of
the recent house of representatives,
presented some figures relating to the
apportionment act which are just at
present exceedingly interesting, be-
cause of the fact that Natrona county
threatens to bring a suit to test the
constitutionallty of the apportionment
law. Mr.. Argesheimer showed that &C
corning 10 the last census there were
throughout the state 1871 inhabitants
for each legislator, provided under the
new apportionment, the counties hay
ing a population per legislator as fol.
lows:
Albany, 1,249; Big Horn, 1875; Car
bon, LAG: Converse, 1889; Crook,
954; Fremont. 1,341; Johnson, 1908;
Laramie, 1922; Natrona, 1,221; Sweet
water, l,194; Uinta, 1917, and Weston,
sol. Thus. Natrona county has more
nearly the correct HullDeT VI iuudpI-
tants for each legislator than any 9th.
err county in the state, and is minus
six persons per legislator. The coun.
ties having an excess of inhabitants
are Albany, Big Horn, Converse, Ere
mont, Laramie, Sheridan and Uinta,
while the counties under the average
are Carbon, Crook, Johnson, Sweet
water, Weston and Natrona. The rea,
son that Crook and Weston counties
have a larger proportionate represen'
tation in the Legislature than the 9th
err counties is that when the bin was
in conference each of the counties nam,
ed was arbitrarily awarded an add
tional legislator.
Mr.. Argesheimer is of the opinion
that a county having no grievance un'
der the statute could not be heard in
court. That is, Natrona county hav'
ing all the representation it is legally
entitled to under the statute, could
not make complaint because of its un,
constitutionality.
The supreme court of the state will
doubtless be given an opportunity to
pass upon all the questions at issue.

HIS FIRST DUTY.

The resolutions introduced by Mr..
Mokler present a side to the charges
made by Mr.. Morton that had not
heretofore been given consideration
by the general public. When a man
is given employment by an institution,
his first duty is to that institution. If
he has grievances, It is incumbent up
on him to present them to his employ.
err first and then If he can get no re-
dress he may take other measures. Mr..
Morton's excuse that two of the men
against whom his charges We're direct
ed belonged To the board of trustees is
not sufficient. He might have lodged
his complaint with the governor, who
is n member % the board by virtue of
his Office. or he might have gone to
the president of the institution with
his complaints, Judging from all the
circumstances surrounding the matter,
it is quite certain that Mr.. Morton did
not care to present his allegations
through any other channel than the
public press. He probably desired to
give the matter publicity and do as
much damage MS lay in his power,
This he has accomplished.
His condemnation by the board,
without division, is doubtless some.
thing he had not anticipated. 1t is
something he will do well to ponder
over till he has learned the lesson Of
honor and LOYALTY.

TEMPERANCE IN THE SOUTH.

For some reason the south has never
been looked upon as Il stronghold for
the prohibition party, but of recent
years the movement in that section of
the country has been very pronounced,
In some of the states the liquor traffic
has been almost entirely done away
with. The Christian Advocate of
Nashville summarizes the situation as
follows:
Now how wonderfully changed are
the conditions! 1t seems scarcely the
same land-this broad, prosperous,
smiling one, above which the star OF
temperance glows with such promise.
BY careful estimate it is shown that
fully one-half of the counties of the
states that lie south OF Mason and
Dixon's line are prohibition counties.
Best of all, in most of them it is pro-
hibition that really prohibits. Missis-
sippi takes the lead. In ninety per
cent of her territory liquor has been
'oeeu out, anu ZIG ihS NiSiiaiSe
OF her people keeps it so. All but five
of the seyenty-seyen counties of Mis-
sissippi are prohibition counties. In
all the others high license prevails.
1t costs one thousand dollars a year

others one thousand five hundred dol

home of Bishop Galloway, not a saloon
is to be found.
