A NIGHT or GRAND OPERA.

company is an exceedingly strong one,

the earth, so that those who attend will
be amply repair.
Madam Butterfly is an exceeding.

leaves behind 1t a sense of sweetness
and love that is ~elevating not only to

pan, where an American naval officer
named Pinkerton loves, marries and
Detrays. The story has touched the
hearts of opera-goers since it has first
appeared.
There is another reason why this
great production is receiving much
encouragement from those beyond the
limits of the capital city. Visitors ap.
preciate the fact that Manager Stable
gives them the very best of treatment.
His theater is as comfortable and as
cosy as any in the United States. 1t
is kept in a faultless manner A speck
of dust is sufficient to cause activity
on the part of employees and no one
is heard to complain that the auditori.
UNI is either too hot or too cold. All
the conditions necessary to the enjoy,
ment of a splendid play or a frst-class
opera are ever a: hand.
The Republican, notes that Madam
Butterfly is receiving splendid press
notices from the papers of the nation.
Goodwin's Weekly of Salt Lake City
speaks of it as a production of rare
merit. None who take advantage of
this excellent opportunity for an even
ing of h~igh-grade grand opera will be
disappointed.

Senator Warren's stand in favor OIL
l. reserve bank in western cities. a.
least one in each state, is one that will
meet with the hearty support of the
entire west. Such a system would go
q long way toward preventing such a
panic as the people witnessed a few
weeks ago. At present the money OF
the nation is syphoned into New York
and one or two other big cities and
the smaller cities of the west are left
at the mercy of the big fellows of Wall
street. With a division of this bust
ness throughout the nation, it would
be impossible to carry on the tremen,
dous gambling enterprises that now
flourish in Gotham like green bay trees.

COME INTO THE OPEN.

1t Is rather hard to see how a news,
paper published in Wyoming or the
west at the present time could refrain
from expressing an opinion on the
question of range control. 1t has been
IN ev%erybody's mouth for a period of
more than six weeks and has beer
discussed in the most vigorous fashion
by a considerable number of people
for many years, and yet there are pa,
pers in this state and in Albany coun.
ty that have not said a word aside from
quoting from other papers.
Our contemporary, the Boomerang,
for illustration, las not given its read
crs editorially the benefit of a single
word upon the subject aside from ar.
ticles adverse to leasing copied from
the Cheyenne Leader. 1t published an
excellent letter favorable to leasing
from the pen of Mrs. Eva ]. Bell of
this county, but so far as it has given
any indication OF its W attitude it
las been in opposition. This attitude
seems a little strange, too. in view OF
h fact that leading democrats of this
county favor a law that will give a
better opportunity to the small settler
and stockman. In fact. Mr.. Corthell
himself some months ago gave expires.
sion favorable to a lease law under
local control, On school district lines
If we remember correctly.
AS Mr.. Holiday says, it is time TO,
those who have an opinion on the sub
ject TO make that opinion known. 1t
is a question of vital Importance to ev
cry citizen of this county and its prop
er solution is one in which all can as.
s;st by taking a stand one way or the

the ones who persist in voting for
Roosevelt. in spite of his repeated
Withdrawals, are practically as numer-
Gus now as then.
According to figures obtained last
August, before President Roosevelt
had published his final letter of with,
drawal, Taft for first choice lacked ,
per cent of half the total vote. The
returns just finished gave him a clear
majority over all other candidates, or
55 per cent of the total.
1.-The first choice vote for Hughes
has not been materially changed III
the interval. He still remains an yer.
whelming second choice in almost
identically the same percentage as be
fore. LeFollette, Cannon and Knox
show fractional losses, considering the
change in the total vote. Foraker
scores an increase because between
August and January he announced
himself as a presidential candidate
against Taft, thus making the issue
sharper than It was before.
The ballots show, although the fig.
ures do not, that his votes came al
most entirely from those who are VIC
lently opposed to Roosevelt and the
general policy of the administration.
There is no indication from the re-
turns or from the ballots that Foraker
has any prospect of becoming a for,
midable candidate before the conven'
ton. On the contrary, there is every
reason to believe he will not get n
delegate from Ohio, He may pick up
e few from the southern states among
the negroes, but is not likely to have
any at all from the north

The fairness and general accuracy
of the test just finished seems to be
indicated by the similarity of its re-

In discussing prohibition, Cardinal
Gibbons is of the opinion that local
option is the solution of the problem.
He is convinced that it Is practically
impossible to put prohibition into eff.
feet in a large community, and the best
means therefore of promoting temper
ance In those places is high license.
There is no question as to the sound.
ness of the cardinals Judgment. With.
out sentiment law cannot be enforced,
THE voice of the people is the voice
of God" What the people do not want
they will not have. and what they do
want they usually find some way to
obtain. Local option gives the people
an opportunity to express their wishes
and II they do not want the selling OF
liquor nor the manufacture thereof
they will find a way to suppress it. The
majority must rule in a republic. 1t
must be remembered hat for the e
rle who want that sort of a thing, the
saloon is just the thing that they want,
no matter how %Iepugnant it may be
to those who have no use for 1t.
