KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Laramie People Know How
To Save Il.

Many Laramie people take their lives
in their lands by n%eglecting the kid
neys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys ara respon'
sible for a vast amount of suffering
and i'll health, but there is no need to
suffer nor to remain in danger when
all diseases and aches and pains due
to weak kidneys can be quickly and
permanently cured by the use Of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is the state.
ment of a Laramie citizen who has re.
claimed good health by the use of this
remedy:
John Johnson, night policeman, 357
West Garfield street, Laramie, Wyo.,
says: Before coming here ! was EN-.
ployed as bridge builder, which occu.
patton forced me to be in the water a
great deal Of the time, causing. un
doubtedly, my kidney trouble. When.
ever l got my feet wet 1 was sure to
take cold and it settled in my kidneys
and meant a severe spell of backache.
Bladder trouble also existed, as l had
to arise three or four times during
the night. The secretions were dark
and the passages scalded. I was trou-
bled this way until l procured Doan's
Kidney Pills of the Laramie Drug com
pany. They cured me Of all the pains
and aches. Since that time, whenever
1 feel symptoms of kidney trouble, an
appeal to Doan's Kidney Pills never
fails. Two or three doses always BAN
ished the trouble"

end: THE first blow struck for free
THE RAILROADS UNPREpAREp

There are bitter complaints of the in
ability OF the American railroads 10
handle the freight hat is pressed upon
them. Railroad men have many eNpla-
nations. Some OF them say the engine
and car works are unable to fill the
orders for rolling stock that have been
given them. Others talk of the need
Of more t%rackage n better terminal
facilities.
1t is interesting to observe that the
conditions complained of by American
shippers exist In other countries. They
are found in England. A correspond.
ent of the London Times says: 80
inadequate are the resources of some
of the English railway companies that
many c~ollieries are losing time and
steel works are being shut down in the
midlands, Notwithstanding heavy order
books, because the railway companies
are unable to move the output from
the pits or to supply the furnaces with
fuel" Matters are not quite SO bad
as that in the United States. The Of
fcers of the ~overworked English roads
say the locomotive plants cannot pro-
vide the additional engines that are
needed.
Only a short time ago there was Sc
rious traffic congestion on the Italian
roads. These roads are mostly operat-
ed by the government, which helps to
explain their inability to handle
freight satisfactorily, but the French
lines, which are operated by private
companies, were also unable to meet
the demands Of shippers.
In view of all the facts it must be
admitted that the men who manage
the American railroads are not the
only sinners. They seem to have been
to a certain extent the victims of cou-
ditions which obtain in both Europe
and the United States. There as well
as here there has been a rapid expan-
sion Of manufacturing energy which
has suddenly outrun the carrying ca
pacity of the railroads. That there has
been great expansion in this country
is proved by the increased imports OF
materials for use in manufacturing and
by the increase in the exports of finish.
cd goods.
In n measure the American railroad
men are to blame for not foreseeing
the growth of manufacturing, which
makes freight, and not making arrange
ments to take care of hat freight.
They ought to have seen that the pro.
ductive industry of the country was
under a full head of steam. But the
men who control the railroad systems
of England, France and Italy were
blind to what the manufacturers of
those countries were doing, and were
taken W like their American
brethren. Perhaps there will be more
foresight hereafter on both sides o..
the Manufacturing Tribune.

THEIR POSITION WELL DEFINED

II any person was possessed of the
idea that the Wyoming cattlemen ia,
vored going back to the old open range
conditions that prevailed a quarter OF
n century ago, it must have been dis,
PEELED by the news from the convention
Of the Wyoming St~ockgrowers' asso,
citation at Cheyenne. The members of
that association were earnest, enthus.
iastic and positive in their demand for
a leasing system that will give to them
the individual right to control a Ger,
tain definite portion of the public do,
main, subject, however, to the United
States land laws. The feeling of the
members was hat to go back to the
old conditions would be to give UP all
the experience and labor of a genera.
ton.
The Pinchot forest reserve bogy is
not to be permitted to stand in the
way of a positive declaration to the
president and to the next congress in
favor of leasing. The sentiment OF
the convention is squarely in line with
the presidents letter to the stockmen
who assembled in Washington and also
with the plan outlined by Senator
Warren in his discussion Of the
question at the time the agricul.
tural appropriation bill was under con,
s%ideration.
1t is the belief of The Republican
that the stockgrowers' association is
going about the matter in the proper
manner. With n definite proposition
to advocate something can be accom-.
plished.

Miss Carrie Hegewald, writing to
her father, Charles Hegewald of this
city, on the train between Wheatland

share was $11S.70. Yesterday after

in the nation. He was fearless. ener-
getic, earnest and a stickler for the
rights of the common people AS the
author Of the homestead act he be-
came prominent as the advocate of
free homes for free men," Through
this act millions OF acres of western
farm lands were opened to settlement
and 1t has been credited with doing
more in the DEVELOPMENT of the great
west than any other act of congress.

En- Route Wheatland to Douglas,
April 2.-knowing how anxious you
will be to hear from us, l will scribble
a few lines, for that is all it is possible
to do on this railroad.
We left Laramie at 2:3O Monday
morning, arriving at Cheyenne at
about 4:3O. Very few had much sleep,
for the girls were too excited and kept
up a continual chatter. At 6 O'Clock
the members of the clubs who were
already in Cheyenne came and Joined
us, and at 6:15 we left Cheyenne for
Wheatland, and then our troubles be,
gan. l guess the girls did not get
enough sleep, for every one was either
cross, sick Or alseep. But when we
reached Wheatland, which was at 9:55,
We all felt refreshed and better. Miss
Mary Wright and Mr.. and Mrs. Gold.
smith met us at the train. They had
come in from the ranch to hear our
concert in the evening.
An Informal Reception.
We spent a very pleasant day in
Wheatland, every n treating us fine.
In the afternoon We were entertained
at an Informal reception at the beauti,
full home Of Mrs. Shiek. We also visit,
ed the high school and played for the
students. But the best part of all was
the evenings entertainment. There
was a crowded Understanding room
only"-and it is needless to say every
thing went off fine. We cleared ex.
penses here. We met many Laramie
people here, who all seemed glad to
see us. At present moment we are on
our way to Douglas, and we expect to
arrive there at 1925, if the train is on
time, and we expect to have a crowd
ed house there also. Every one is we'll.
We will write again.

A RaWlins View

About the next thing we rear will be
that the Laramie papers are throwing
fits over the Keefe murder case. They
seem to be not content with leaving
that matter with the courts, as then
comments seem to infer that 1t Is Lar
amie's wish that he again be brought
down there for another (mis) trial.
Carbon county, however, and Rawlins
especially is not b%othering about this
affair. Needless to say it is not the
wish of this county that he be retired
in Laramie and If We were to venture
a prediction it would be that he never
will be tried there, although the pc"
pie here would expect and be confident
of a greater measure of justice being
dealt out. There has been a complete
change IN the sheriff's office and the
new nan is not likely to have any Grim.

no doubt learned some things that will
be helpful to him in handling murder
