PRESIDENT
IN CHAIR
NEW HEAD OF LARAMIE LITER.
AIRY CLUB DELIVERS VlGOR-
Gus INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
Meeting to Be Devoted to Discus
sion of Aims and Objects of Or
g%anization = Standing Committees
Named and Address Delivered by
Lawyer CortheIl.

The meeting last night of the Lar
annie Literary club at the Carnegie
public library was as interesting as
any that have been held by the organ
ization. The club was called to order
by the new president, z. N. Rogers,
who delivered a short and vigorous ad-
dress, in which he spoke of the things
that the club has already accomplished
and what it may accomplish if the
members determine that it shall. The
president announced that, in lieu of a
regular program for the next meeting,
there is to be a discussion upon the
aims and purposes of the club and the
best means of carrying them out. c.
P. Arnold is to be asked to prepare
a paper upon "The Aims and objects
of the Laramie Literary Club" and
the members are asked not only to
make a point of attending themselves,
but to bring with them a friend as a
guest of the club.
Committees of Club.
The president announced his COM
mittees as follows:
Program Committee-A. N. Hasen-
kamp, George Campbell and D. N.
Stickney.
Membership Committee-Prof. H. G.
Knight, w. H. Frazee and ]. T. Hol-
liday.
Address on Commercial Law.
Several business matters having
been attended to, the club listened to
a most instructive address by N. E.
Corthell upon Commercial Law"
which produced so much discussion
that the meeting did not adjourn until
after 10 o'clock. Mr.. Corthell, in the
course of his address, referred to the
extreme antiquity of laws relating to
commerce, and the manner in which
many of the usages of the present day
have been handed down from the
ancient Romans and from still more
far back sources. He then went on to
describe some of the usages of the
present day, referring especially to ne
gotiable paper and the principles
which underly the laws relating to
such instruments; the laws of common
carriers; the statute of frauds and per-
%juries; and common carriers in their
relations with the public.
Duty of Railroads.
In relation to common carriers, Mr..
Corthell said that the fact is sometimes
lost sight Of at the present day that
the railroads are essentially public
highways, and are so regarded by the
law. The railroads must accept all
freight presented to them and must
transport it with reasonable diligence
and safety and at a moderate cost.
Following his address, Mr.. CorthelI
answered a large number of questions
asked by the members of the club,
and Mr.. Rogers delivered himself of
one Renaissance.

"BOO-HOO"
Shouts a Spanked Baby.

A Doctor Of Divinity. now Editor OF
a well-known Religious paper, has
written regarding the controversy be-
tween Golfers Weekly and the Re
ligious Press OF the Country and 9TH
ers, including ourselves. Also regard
ing suits for libel brought by Golfers
against us for commenting upon its
methods.
These are his sentiments, with some
very emphatic words left out.
The religious Press owes you a
debt Of gratitude for your courage in
showing up Golfers Weekly as the
"Yell-Oh Man." Would you care to
use the inclosed article on the boo
Hoo Baby" as the ''Yell-Oh Mans
successor?"
"A contemporary remarks that Col
ller's has finally run against a solid
hickory POST and been damaged in
its own estimation to the tune of

Here is a publication which has, in
utmost disregard Of the facts, spread
broadcast damaging statements about
the Religious Press and others and
has suffered those false statements to

after finding the Religious Press too
quiet, and peaceful. TO resent the in
suits, it makes the mistake Of wander

A Definition Of Success.

How have the hypothetical scien-
fists and the exponents of unbelief
benefited themselves or humanity at
large by sowing the seeds Of doubt
broadcast in the world? The real sci
entists do not fall in this category, for
they are believers in the real sense OF
the word; they know too much. they
have seen too many mysterious mani
festations of the Divine creative pow
er. Now, those who have disposed OF
the Bible and all evidences of inspira-
ton, have written great many books
and some of them have won what the
world at large lightly calls fame. Ac-
cording to the ordinary measures that
are applied in such cases, they have
been extremely successful, but real
success means the benefit Of human
ity in some form or other. If no such
benefits can be shown as the result OF
their labors, their success is not equal
to that achieved by the direst poverty
and the deepest ignorance. - Joel
in Uncle Remus' Magazine.

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid house of
rats is to catch one and fasten bell
about its neck. A boy in Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago.
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast, but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling of that bell
would have great results. 1t did have.
In the first place, the rat who wore it
was constantly on the move all night,
and the tinkling bell kept the family
awake, and in the next the sounds
brought scores Of new rats to the
house. Instead of being afraid of the
bell, they were charmed with the mu-
sic. Had the boy tied a harmonica
to another rats tail, the rodents would
have had dance every night

DDS, has not made itself more ridicu.
lous than any comment Of ours could
make it.
Does Golfers expect to regain any
seltinfiicted loss of prestige by de
monsrating thru suits for damages,
that 1t can be more artful in evading
liability for libels than the humble
but resentful victims Of its defamation.
or does it hope for starting a campaign
of libel suits to silence the popular in
dignation, reproach and resentment
which it has aroused.
Golfers can not dodge this public
controversy by private law suits. 1t
can not postpone the public judgment
against It. That great jury, the Pub
lie, viii hardly blame us for not wait
ing until we get petit jury IN a court
room, before denouneing this prod

and fostered either by individuals or
by the public, itself.
