THERE is MERIT IN IT.

The Newcastle News Journal pro-
tests against the constant practice of
sending what is known as the big
four TO the national republican con-
yention. This practice leaves only
two places for the rank and file of the
party or rather for the other party
leaders who do yeoman service in par
ty organization. 1t is a great honor
to so to a national convention, no
matter whether it is republican or
democratic, and there is some merit
in the Journals contention.
For our senators and member of con-
gress to represent the state in this
convention is of course an honor and
a pleasure to them, but they have in
iiuence there without being delegates
and are able to meet the great men
of the nation constantly through theiI
positions as representatives of a great
state at Washington. 1t is no added
honor to them to be constantly sent
to the national convention. There is
another eason why Wyoming should
seek to divide these particular hon
ors. The large eastern states have
many delegates, Wyoming has six,
After states like New York, Pennsyl.
vania or Ohio have selected their big
four, there still remains many dele
gates to choose. While four consti
tutes two-thirds of our delegation, II
would be less than one-tenth of some
OF the delegations.
Parties are organized and held to
gether very largely through the recog
milton of its capable members and it is
therefore incumbent upon the leader:
to see that the honorable positions are
divided to the greatest possible extent
The Newcastle Journal has present
ed a thought worthy of the consider
alton of the party throughout the state

There was another thing noticed by
some of our people on their trip

fact that Laramie was able to Shine
out in the matter of after-dinner talks.

far superior nature to those delivered
during the Colorado trip. although
there were many good takers in the
city of Denver.

No Work, No Food for Indians.

Indian Commissioner Leupp at
tributes the little trouble among the
Utes to the fact that the Indians viii
not work and thus gain the compen-
sation and the food which will support
them and their families. Speaking Of
the policy OF the Indian office, Com
missioner Leupp says: This office be-
lieves in applying the same rule that
Is applied to poor and ignorant men OF
any race. We believe in finding work
for them and then in permitting them
to go hungry II they will not accept
the opportunity TO make a living" He
adds that 1t is the practice of his de-
partment of the government to treat
the Indians kindly but to insist that
they shall cease to be paupers when
there is work at which they can earn
good wages practically at their doors"
Can anyone point out anything unfair
or unreasonable In that principle?

THE STRENUOUS LIFE a
Pulls So Hard on the Stomach II Must
Have Help.

The stress and strain of the strenu-
u life in both city and country makes
stomach troubles. Five people suffer
today where n did. ten years ago
with sick headache, dizziness, fiatu-
lence, distress after eating, specks be-
fore the eyes, bloating, nervousness,
sleeplessness and the many other
symptoms of indigestion.
All who are suffering with stomach
troubles, and that means at least two
out of three in Laramie and other
towns, should S Mona stomach tab
lets. Nothing else is as safe, yet eff
fective; nothing else can be so thor
oughly relied upon to relieve all trou-
bles from indigestion as Milo ma.
So reliable is Mi-o-na that A. H. Cor

-wELLBEHAvED LARAMIE.

Those who took the trip to Colorado
at the time of the beginning of work
on the Denver, Laramie and North
western were impressed with the ex
IRENE cussedness of the small boy in
some OF the towns of northern Colora
do and by contrast with the goodness
OF the small boy Of this city. In. Colo
RADIO in some. places the boys would
run out and grab onto the automobiles
as they PASSED and perform many
feats of rudeness and disorder, acts
that the Laramie boy would scorn.
This. condition OF affairs is rather
hard to explain, but primarily the good
behavior of children Is caused by par
ents and this early training is supple
mented TO a very large degree by the
work Of the teacher in the public
schools. Laramie has good parents
and good teachers. This is r u from
the very foundation to the graduation

TWO insuperable objections to the es-
Establishment of a Mothers Day" must
occur to everybody who has pondered
over Senator Burkett's late resolution.
In the first place, holidays, like monu-

who are likely TO be forgotten. And.
in the second place, the usual Ameri-
can habit of converting a holi-
day into a glorious opportunity
for a trip TO the races, a fishing expe-
dition, a quiet game of poker or even
more exciting adventures would make

When you enter a shop state just
what you want. For then the mer.
