The Denver Republican, in an edt.
torial, endorses the policy of the ad-
ministration in the management of the
forest reserves, but opposes any legis-
lation looking to the leasing of the pub,

is very much divided. There are large
areas of land between Denver and the
Kansas line susceptible of cultivation
under dry farming and it is not clear
Just where the line of ~demarcation can
be drawn. All this land is below the

mum. In the mountains there is a di,
vision of opinion between the cattle,
men, the horsemen and the sheepmen
as to the proper disposition of the pub,
lie lands. In fact, there seems to be
no settled opinion as to what would
be best in the matter.

PROFESSIONAL
BEST man

Il have ceased to be a society but
terfy and am now a professional best
man." said an upper West Side young
man at his club the other night. You
never heard of a professional best
man? That may be perfectly true, for
| am under the impression that am
the inventor and patentee of the idea.
I have made it pay, too, for in addi-
ton to the usual handsome present
that the best man receives from the
bridegroom, l charge a fee that keeps
me well supplied with clothes, pays
my club dues and keeps me in pocket
money.
you know that the one thing that
everybody connected with a wedding
wants Is to have the whole affair run
smoothly from start to finish. Any
hitch is likely to get on the nerves
of the young couple and not a few pa
rents dread some mistake or delay
that will make the ceremony Of the 50
cial functions that precede and fol-
low the ceremony ridiculous. And so
such people are willing to pay
a handsome fee when they feel as
sured that nothing of an untoward
nature will occur. 1t was this idea
that laid the foundation to my present
opulence.
Il was popular in society and spent
money lavishly on my friends. The
result was that for several months !

THOUSANDS CURED
Wonderful Success of Hyomei in Cur
ing Catarrh, Even in
Chronic Stages.

Hyomei is the most unusual remedy
ever known for the cure of catarrh.
1t follows nature in her methods of
treating diseases of the respiratory or
gans, as its healing balsams are taken
in with the air you breathe, thus reach
ing the most remote air cells in the
nose, throat and lungs, killing all ca
tarrhal germs and preventing their
growth.
Use Hyomei at the first symptoms o.
catarrh. Do not allow the disease to
extend along the delicate mucous mem
brane, gradually going from the nose IN
the throat, thence into the bronchial
tubes, and then onward and downward
until the lungs r reached. Hyomei
will cure all durable forms and stages
of catarrh. The Eggleston Drug COM
pany takes the whole risk, and offers
to refund the money for a dollar out
fit If it fails to cure.

THE SOUTH AND LABOR.

The United States has promised in
the treaty with Italy that Italian citi-
ems residing in this country shall re
ceive the most constant. protection
and security for their persons and
property The promise was made in
good faith, but the United States gov
eminent is unable to keep it as far as
Italians who may be unfortunate
enough to settlein Mississippi are con.
cerned. They may be reduced to a
state of peonage-of semi-slavery-in
defiance Of federal laws, but the ma
tional government cannot enforce its
laws and treaty s%tipulations.
When the federal grand jury compos-
ed of Mississipians refuses TO indict
other Mississippians who have violat,
eminent is helpless. 1t will be oblig,
ed to tell the Italian government, if it
be an Italian citizen who is held in
quasi bondage, that Notwithstanding
the treaty pledges it cannot protect
him. That will be humiliating, but il
will be inevitable.
1t is the great misfortune of the
cotton south-a misfortune due to its
long dependence on the negro, espe,
cially for agricultural work-that it has
no conception of the dignity of labor
and little respect for the rights of la
Dor. The laborer is still too often re.
garded as a 'mudsill." This is why the
south, which needs labor so much and
is so anxious to get it, cannot satisfy
its needs. While contract labor is
being imported in violation of law, i'm.
migrants whose passage money has
been prepaid on condition that they
would work it out are being treated
in many parts of the south in a way cal
culated to stop all further immigration
legal or illegal.
The south is the chief sufferer by
the refusal of grand juries TO indict
men accused of violation of the peo-
rage laws. The development of the in,
dustrial and agricultural of
that part of the country will be delay.

KICKS AGAINST GIRL.
Talented COED of Cornell Objected to

New York, Jan. 23.-The Columbia
college debating team today formulat-
ed a protest against the selection OF
Miss Elizabeth A. Cook, a coed of Cor.
nell, recently chosen as a member OF
the Cornell debating team, which is to
meet Columbia in a debate at Ithaca or
February 2S. A letter requesting that
Miss Cook be barred from the team

ford 1t, but that financially I was down

fair. AS a mere guest / could wear

case the affair had gone off with sue
cess. Finally he made a proposition
% me. He figured out what my ex-
penses would be and then added $500
10 the sum. He offered to pay me
this amount If l would be best man,
and guaranteed to keep the matter
secret. This gave me an idea, and
[ told him I would accept his offer,
but with the provision that he was not
to keep the story of my fees secret
after the wedding. l saw that if a rich
man like himself was willing to pay
for aid at the crucial moment that
there would be others who would want
my services.
Next morning 1 received a check
for my fee. Not only that, but he gave
me this diamond scarf pin / am wear
ing. In return I made his wedding the
success of the season. Everything was
done in the best of style, every guest
was loud in praises of the affair, and
not until six weeks later, when he re-
turned from his honeymoon, did he
breathe a word about my part in the
transaction. And then he very wisely
Disseminated in telling about my fee.
In the first place he told some wealthy
young fellows who were contemplating
matrimony and in the second place
he said that my work was worth far
more than he had paid for it. So the
result was that 1 have had a fairly
good two seasons. And l am enjoying
a social life that l could not remain
in if it were not for my fees"

He Declined Governorship-

Hon. M. N. Grant of Laramie was
in the city Monday on business. Mr..
Grant is a Wyoming pioneer, having
come to this state in 1870. NJ. N.
Grants grandfather and General U. 5.
Grants father were brothers.
Mr.. Grant is probably the only man
who ever declined the governorship
of Wyoming. In territorial days he
was offered the governorship by Presi'
dent Arthur, but declined.-Wyoming

How often a page which has a
slight tear in it is left unmended until
the tear gradually grows larger and
then finally part of the page is gone
altogether. The best way to mend a
torn page is to paste over it a piece
OF thin waxed paper. The printing
can be easily seen through this and
the page is almost as strong as when
new.

that there is not another financial in

Not a Wise Resolution

The sheepmen passed ONE strin'
gent resolutions at Laramie. Some of
them reach the limit in condemnation
and the Sun wonders If it was wise for
a body of men to act in such an arbi,
trary manner. One resolution-No. 10,
by the way-highly commends Sena.

for their opposition to the forest re.
serve policy of Mr.. Pinchot, and, by
leaving out his name, offers a gratui,
tous insult to Senator Warren, who
has not only been a good friend to ev.
cry industry in Wyoming, but he has
been an especially good friend to the
sheep industry. That was not a wise
resolution, and 1t would have been bet.
ter had it followed the fate of No. IL,
which condemned the chief execu-
tive and was voted down.-Saratoga
Sun.
