WYOMING is GLAD.

A Washington special to the Denver
Republican hat there is lit
tie question but that Hon. Frank w
Mondell will be advanced to the i'm
portant position of chairman of the
committee on public lands. 1t had beer
whispered that the independent posi-
ton he has taken upon several public
questions rendered his appointment tC
the place questionable, and still those
who have followed the course of I'm
Gle joe Cannon could hardly credit
the tale that he would wreak venge
ance upon n congressman for differing
from him upon a public matter.
One thing is certain, Frank w. Mon
dell is as well posted as any congress
man in the United States upon al
matters pertaining to the public lands
The Republican believes that as chair
man of the committee on public land
he will be fair in all matters comm:
before it and will not at any time pc.
nit his position to stand in the way o
legislation demanded by a majority o
his constituents, no matter what hi
personal opinions may be.
The people of Wyoming will certain
ly be pleased to hear of the advance
ment Of the man they have so Otter
delighted to honor.

Be as careful as you can you will
occasionally take cold, and when you

a world wide reputation by its remark

upon. 1t acts On natures plan, relieves
the lungs, aids expectoration. opens

which it has been in general use we
have yet to learn of a single case Of cold

in pneumonia when this remedy was
used, which shows conclusivly that
1t is a certain preventive of that dau.

FOR BETTER SECURITY.

In the news columns of this issue The
Republican gives two very able letters
from Wyoming bank presidents upon
the proposition OF government guar.
antee for Gepositors in national banks.
PresidentIvinson of the First National
bank Is not only the Oldest banker In
the state but is the pioneer in the bust
ness. panics have never touched
him and he is qualified to speak by
the card. His suggestion that many
lives would be saved n no end OF
money through the removal OF the
greatest incentive to burglary, is a
thought in the discussion that has not
hitherto been brought out. In the sin
gle matter of increased deposits, as
Mr.. Ivinson APPLY says, the banks would
be more than compensated for the
small tax required. He not only be
lieves that deposits would double and
treble, but that interest rates would
be materially reduced by reason of
the increased circulation-or rather the
greater activity of the money already
in existence.
President Collins of the Douglas Ma,
tional bank presents figures that are
simply astounding, but The Republican
will warrant that they cannot b~erefuted.
Figuring that the deposits of the larg.
est bank in Wyoming are worth 2 per
cent, he finds that an increase of 3 per
cent in deposits would pay the tax re.
quired TO meet any losses hat might
be sustained under a government guar
antee. Is there any sane man who
would not say that more than 3 per
cent of the money of the nation Is now
being boarded? We would rather be,
lieve that Mr.. lvinson is right and that
he deposits would double. President
Collins finds that the government could
make a charge Of 3 per cent on the de.
posts it now has with the national
banks and not only meet all the losses
sustained by depositors, but accumu-
late a large fund beside.
Doesn't 1t appear a little strange
that this great government has not TAX
en- the matter up before? The truth
about the matter appears TO be that
the big flnanciers of the great money
centers of the nation give the depositor
seam consideration. He is only a
means to an end. The accumulated
savings of thousands make 1t possible
to manipulate railroads, steamship
lines, great steel industries, vast in
dustrial corporations of all kinds, and
no thought is given to the security of
the individual depositor till he be
comes alarmed at some shaking VI In
high finance and demands his money.
Then, of course, be becomes a menace
to public welfare and is told that he
cannot have his money but must take
an evidence Of credit that=is just as
good, If things turn out all right.
IF EVERY DEPOSIT IN A NATION,
AL BANK WAS BACKED UP BY
THE GOVERNMENT, THERE WOULD
BE NO BANK RUNS, THE PEOPLE
WOULD HAVE THE USE OF ALL
THE MONEY ALL THE TIME AND
BUSINESS CONDITIONS WOULD BE
STRENGTHENED ALMOST BEYOND
MEASURE.

Ex-Secretary Shaw certainly has 1t
sized up right when he says that Wall
street has destroyed to a very large de-
gree the confidence the bankers of the
west have hitherto had in its integrity.
The reserves of the bankers of the ma
ton are placed there for safe keeping
so that when they are needed in emer-
~gencies they can be drawn upon ana
not to be held up just at the critical
moment. 1t would not be at all surprts'
ing II there was n movement put on
foot to change the base of the reserve

The saloon men of Louisiana are
making tremendous efforts TO stem the
tide of prohibition that is rapidly ris'
ing in that state. They promise their
best efforts will be directed towards
the closing of negro dives and the re
stricting OF the liquor traffic by regula
lions that will put an end to drunken
ness and violence. Those well posted
say they are toe late, that prohibition
in Louisiana is inevitable. AS the old

Ere another issue Of this paper
Thanksgiving day will have come and

nor ask us to return thanks for tn
manifold blessings bestowed upon lis
How many of us will respond by of
fering our heartfelt thanks to the
Maker of mankind for the health, hap
piness and prosperity which we are
enjoying. Not many there be who upor
this occasion reverntly and subser
vicinity bow TO their Maker in crate
fulness for His ~benevolence. Scarce
time have they for this sort Of thing
rather feed on turkey, don the new
gown and millinery display during
the day and attend the Thanksgiving
ball in the evening. Some may attend
church, sing and kneel in prayer and
rejoice that they are not of the meek
out in fine forgery on this day but
this is about as far as their thankful
ness goes. However, there may be
few exceptions to the rule, but il
almost seems as though the good old
fashioned Thanksgiving day has almost
passed away, when u hearts were
filled with the thoughts of our Creator
and thankfuiness for the many gift;

In the opinion of the Stockgrower
the open hunting season Is not arrang'
ed exactly as 1t should be. AS it is
now the first two or three weeks of the

game when secured. The season
should open one month later. October
