A DISAPPEARING AUTOCRACY.

The tidings from Persia serve tc
emphasize still further the decline OF
the autocratic idea in the world. The
Mohammedan theory Of arbitrary and
absolute power has held its sway for
many years. The inclination Of the
scepter has determined policies. The
swing of the scimiter has ended oppo,
sition. The never changing laws have
remained u~nalterable because the law
has been naught but the imperious
will of the sovereign.
The millions have crooked the preg.
nant hinges Of the knee before rulers
as exalted as the planet Saturn, whose
splenior and m~agnifcence have been
equal TO that of the skies, whose ar,
mics have been as numerous as the
stars. to whom the u has served as a
standard. Such obeisance has not
been rendered alone that thrift might
follow fawning. The most glorious
and august rulers commanding the two
lands and the two seas have punished
refusal to salaam by the quick flash of
the sword.
But there are many indications that
the high sounding titles and absurd
designations of the Mohammedan
monarches means less and less as
modern IDEAS of liberty and law have
%percolated through the religion-ridden
min.ons OF oriental despotism. Where
commerce has brought glimpses of
the outside world the law and the con.
stitution have come to be expressions
with some significance.
The sick man of Europe" long ago
lost that Irower which once forced ma.
tons to do his bidding. The miser
able potentates along the North Afri
can coast no longer prey on the com.
merce of the world or exact tribute
from the helpless nations. The
pirate prince who compelled Balm
bridge to s his vessel, the George
Washington, as a dispatch boat to
bear a message to the sultan at Con
stantinople has no modern representa-,
tive in the Mediterranean. Autocracy
as embodied in the average Mohamme
dan ruler is only a faint shadow OF
former greatness.
The change has come more slowly
than In other parts of the world. The
advocates Of popular government will
still perish by the sword. Revolution.
airy movements will be checked by the
fire Of janizaries. But the watchmen

SHORT LIVED PHYSICIANS.

A contemporary has an article ex-
planning why doctors as a rule are
shortlived. They cannot reduce them
selves to the formula they prescribe
for the patient; their hours OF sleep
are p~erpetually broken; they cannot
have regular times for their meals;
they cannot devote the time at the ia
BILE which is necessary for good di-
g~estion; their holidays are i~nfrequent,
and many other reasons are given, all
of which we do not accept as valid.
All physicians are not short-lived, a
great many of them live a long time,
but We can understand why they
should be short-lived. A physician is
called to the bedside OF a patient. The
patient wants to live, wants to have
his or her health restored. The doc
tor prescribes according to the best
lines before him, but still the patient
does not recover. To an earnest, sem
sitive man We can understand that
that patients case takes possession OF
him. He worries over it, worries as
did that physician which Dumas tells
of who had a sick daughter and called
in all his brother practitioners aud
explained the case in a way which
kindled their admiration, for it showed
that he had exhausted study Upon the
case; that he understood it better
than ever a case was understood be-
bore, and yet was obliged to confess
that he was helpless: that he could
not any longer fight back the inevi-
table.
To a genuine, sensitive man those
things fill the day and haunt the night
with them and they do not grow cal

The Judgment of the Court

The Judgment of the Court
Judge Carpenter who has watched
the progress of the Denver, Laramie
and Northwestern railroad more closely
than anyone else in this state. Is firm
ly of the belief that the Dad will be
oilbuilt and that very soon. He thinks
that it will be graded into Fort Collins
this year and will reach Laramie in
1909, and Lander in 1910. Ii the pro-
moters can get the new, road as far
as Lander by the close of 1910, 1t will
prove n OF the best paying roads
in the west and it will do more to
build up Wyoming than any other
road since 1t will unite the south with
the isolated sections of the central
and northern portions of the state.
1t will avers a rich country through
its entire length and should develop
an immense freight tonnage from the

The reception given Senator War

indication of the high regard in which
the senator Is held by the people OF
Wyoming. No man living in Wyoming
toaav has done SO much tor the ad-
yancement of his state and her inter
ests as has Senator Warren. His
long service in the senate and his rec
opnizad ability a a statesman enable
him to render untold services to his
state. The people of Wyoming are

willing and anxious to undertake any

TAXING MINERAL RESERVATIONS

The board of commissioners of Lara
mic county has taken a step that may
cause the Union Pacific to change its
policy of reserving mineral rights in
transferring its lands, The board
holds that this intangible value is tax
able n has levied an assessment OF
$50, 900 on the value thereof in Lara
mic county, AS the ri~ght-of-way of the
Union Pacific extends across five coun
ties of the state, it will be seen that
this question may work out into a mat
ter of large proportions.
Perhaps it is not generally known
that the title to land which the rail-
road gives to the people is not as good
as that given TO it by the government.
the company. the company reserves
mineral rights, rights-if-way, privileges
to go upon the land to prospect, etc.
This matter vas first definitely
brought to the attention of the people
of Wyoming when the owner of rail-
road land in the Crow Creek reserve
attempted to exchange their lands for
lands outside the reserve, under the
act providing for such transfer. When
the landowners presented their titles
the government refused to accept
them. for the reason that they We're
not as good as the government had
given. The owners then turned to the
railroad company to have the titles
cleared and were informed that the
mineral right was something hat the
company still possessed and WITH
which ii would part for q considera
ton. AS forest reserve lieu lands were
selling high, the company asked 8
ervation.
Laramie county's board of commits
%sioners had their attention drawn to
the matter by Assessor Freeborn. who
had studied the question to some ex.
tent in the assessment of the lands in
what is known as the Baxter tract and
other areas transferred by the Federal
Land and Securities company of Des
Moines, Ia, to settlers in that section
of the state. A Chicago company own.
ed the Baxter tract and sold to a Chey.
enne association, which subsequently
passed title to the Des Moines con
pany. After n or two payments had
been made, the panic came on and there
was some difficulty that brought the
entire matter into court. 1t was then
that the Des Moines company found
that they did not have a perfect title,
but that a mineral -rya had
been made in the deed from the rail.
road to the parties first purchasing the
land. 1t brought suit to clear this
cloud away. the Chicago company that
owned the Baxter tract being the real
defendant in the case. 1t Is under
stood that the railroad company will
give title to the mineral for an add
tional consideration of SO cents per
acre. the land in question being strict
ly nonemineral in character. In min
