NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN
NOT To az WORK

Here's a story they are telling on
National Committeeman George Pex-
ton-and n aptly illustrating the
average western ans aversion to be
ing worked" That the average Wyo-
ming man will throw away ten dol
lars In tips before he will consent to
being worked out Of a splitter was
illustrated when a youth with a bundle
of evening newspapers rushed into the
Wyoming headquarters at the STRAIT
ford and started to sell them Pexton
had applied for a copy Of each, but
when the young holdup insisted upon
charging five cents each for his one
cent papers, Pexton bucked and the
others followed suit. The national
committeeman from Wyoming pushed
the button and handed the bellhop a
half dollar, with instructions to get
all the evening papers," When he re
turned with them-just five-he was
told to keep the change.

WILL NOT JON TOGO.
President Roosevelt Would Decline
Senatorial Position.

Washington, D. c., June 23.-Presi
dent Roosevelt does not desire and
would not accept election to the Unit
ed States senate from the state OF
New York.
The presidents determination was
learned by friends who are closest to
him as soon as the campaign for the
nomination of Secretary Taft was over,
In his decision to decline further
public service for the present, the
president by no means shuts himself
out OF party councils. He expects to
retain an active interest in American
politics until his work is done. While
declining to consider election to the
senate, he viii undoubtedly make his
influence felt when such elections next
take place.

LYDIA e. PINKHHM

Nc other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gem

In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg

one you meet has either been bene-
fitted by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any womananydaymay
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia

Lydia f. PinSham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Is made from roots and.

The reason why Lydia 4. Pink

WANT HONESTY.

In an interview in Denver, Elk Gov.
John E. Osborne, a poor political
guesser by birth and inclination, says
that Bryan is the next president OF
the United States just as surely as he
is alive on election day, Nov. T." BY
the way OF emphasis, the doughty gov
ernor adds that the republican national
convention was disappointing to re-
pubhcans and a big boost for the demo.
Gratis. He assumes TO see in the plat
form OF the republican party and In
their candidates everlasting enmity to
labor. That is the cry we have heard
before. That was the cry that took us
down to defeat with Mr.. OSBORNE once
before. That was the cry that assisted
in throwing Wyoming sheepmen into
panic. Bat what did Osborne do after
he got hold Of the reins of government
In Wyoming? What did he do after he
was sent to congress by the people OF
this state? Can any person now re-
call? Those were a couple Of chapters
In the governors life that he would
like mighty well to have the people
forget. and yet he comes before them
again as q leader OF democracy urging
the election Of a man who has done as
little in performances as he has done
and whose political creed is against
the best interests of a state that gains
its greatest revenues through the pro
lection OF American industries.
Wyoming laboring men and Wyom-
ing fiockmasters are well aware Of Mr..
Osborne's and Mr.. Bryan's records up
or all questions In which they are vital
ly Interested. And they also know that
Mr.. Taft has q record upon labor ques-
tons as clean az any American-a rec
ord made upon honest action under the
law and the evidence placed before
him as a judge. and Of honest endeavor
on behalf of laboring men during his
life as a citizens and a statesman. Tho
laboring men Of the nation want hon
esty, not the silly, thinly-veiled, vote
catching twaddle of our whilom resi-
dent, the ex-governor.

THE GOVERNOR PLEASED.

Acting Governor and Mrs. Schnitger,
upon their return to the capital, ex-
pressed themselves as being highly
pleased with their treatment by. the
people of the University of Wyoming
and of Laramie generally. The only
thing they had to- complain of, and
they didn't complain about that, was
the fact that they were being enter
tanned from the minute they reached
Laramie till they got on the train to
go home, Mr.. Schnitger was agree,
ably surprised at the apparent splen-
did manner in which the university is
now being conducted and expressed
the firm conviction that it has a great
future before it. He believes that the
board of trustees had found a good
man in President Merica and saw
much evidence OF hope, confidence and
progress everywhere. 1t was a great
source of satisfaction to the governor
to note the interest taken by the peo-
pie in university work, the attendance
being large and the attention and ap-
probation exceptional.
1t had been many years since Mr..
and Mrs. Schnitger had before viewed
any considerable portion of the Lara
mic valley, hence the automobile ride
was a pleasure to them. They were
early residents of Laramie, when there
was not a fence between the rivers,
and TO see a vast number of farms and
small enclosures was an agreeable sur
prise. Mr.. Schnitger spoke particu-
larly of the apparent excellence of the
crops upon the farms irrigated by the
Pioneer canal and other irrigation
works, AMI expressed the belief that
this valley Was entering upon a pc
riod OF development that would soon
double and treble its wealth and pop
ulation.
The Republican feels assured that
the visit and the kind words of Mr..
n Mrs. Schnitger are fully appreci-
ated by the people of Albany county.
Here is where they came Just after
they were welded and here Is where
they learned to love Wyoming. The
pioneers of the Gem City gave them
q place in their hearts and the warmth
Of 1t has never cooled

Commission Has Power 10 Call on
United States District Attorneys
Throughout the Country to Secure
indictments Of Railroads for Grant
ing Rebates to Shippers.

Washington. d. c., June 23.-"Pres-
ident R%oosevelt's elimination from the
political field by the nomination OF
Secretary Taft will not cause a ces-
sation OF the prosecution Of the trans
portation companies for violation OF
the railroad rate law" said Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Lane. This
commission has the power to call on
the United States district attorneys
throughout the country to ecure in
iictments of railroads for granting re-
bates. Indictments are now being
brought and others will be framed
when 1t is found that the law is being
violated. Every railroad man in the
country knows it is unsafe to grant
rebates; that the law will be enforced,
and that pull will be v~alueless.
Rates Being Adjusted.
Before the enactment of the Hep
burn bill the commission decided cases
only when complaints were brought,
but now under our general rulings
many rates are adjusted to the salts
faction Of the shippers. This is an
administrative body and not a judicial
one, and we are now considering the
question of a summary method of en-
forcing compliance with the rule Of the
commission regarding the reduction OF
through rates to the local rate.
Uniform Bill Of Ladine.
In a few months, through the eff
forts of the commission, a uniform bill
of lading will be adopted by the rail
roads. Within two years there will
be- a uniform classification Of rates.
New Rebate Scheme.
"a new scheme for granting rebates
has been discovered by the commits
sion, and a remedy Is being sought to
break it up. The scheme is to mis-.
quote rates. A railroad will make a
contract with a large shipper to trans
port his products at a certain rate
which is lower than the legal rate, and
consequently the smaller shipper is

To show the trend OF thought, 1t is
only necessary to refer to the recent
meeting of the American brewers in
the city of Milwaukee, when resolu
tions were passed taking strong
ground against the dive" and tho
"brothel.' The brewers would have
the American people understand that
they are for Temperance in all

drunkenness, gambling and all the at

that the brewers are in real earnest
about this matter. Generally speak
ing they are men of standing and
character, men who are DESTROYS OF
continuing their business, believing
that a moderate Indulgence In intoxi-

the human system and certainly bene'

Quite frequently We hear the com

get into the local option" class, much
less prohibition. Upon all maps Of the
country depicting the temperance
movement that is passing over the ma.
ton it is shown as a black spot. While
It ia not at all probable that prohibit

near future. there is a very strong
probability that most any Wyoming

The only excuse the democrats can
offer as a reason for the election of
Bryan Is that he would not be able to
do anything If he were elected. They
argue that the senate would unques.
tionably be republican and Bryan
could not get anything injurious
through congress. That would be a
silly stunt for the American people,
wouldn't it?
