Taft the Man.

Taft the Man.
The presidential situation is attract
ing attention in all parts of the coun-
try and there can be no mistake as to
the trend. Early in the game" there
is always a divergence of opinion as
to who the nominee should be but
they soon crystalize as IA rule so that
each locality is certain of the action
it will take.
Those who follow such matters
closely cannot fail to see that William
Howard Taft of Ohio is far in the
lead, and he has no close second aside
from Hughes of New York. and even
he cannot be regarded as IA close e C
ond.
Taft has earned his way into the
good will of the people OF the nation
and has never fallen short o fany trust
placed upon him. He has a record
OF service probably longer than any
man who has ever been a candidate
for the presidency and thus the peo-
pie have come to know him.
That Wyoming would be in the
Taft column was "A foregone c%onclus-
ion some time ago The majority
of the people are in his favor, and
while IA few individuals may have an
other choice it behooves the Repub-
lican party of this state to stand sol
idly for one man, and that selection
should Of course be controlled by the
majority.
That selection for president of the
| United States is Taft--let it be known

For a Lease Law.

The Sun has hesitated about en-
dorsing the leasing of the public
range by the government-in Tact 1t
has been, up to this time, OPP
posed to such a course. But matters
have recently shaped themselves so
that it is simply a question whether
the range warfare, which has held for
80 many years in this western country
with all its untold horrors and blood
shed, shall continue, or some e
adopted that will save the small
stockman and homesteader from be
ing driven to the wall. We all know
that this warfare for possession Of the
range has been going on for many
years, and we all know that it viii
continue until some arrangement
is made by the government to pre-.
vent the encroachment of one
stockman on the range of his neigh
Dor, or neighbors. The conditions
which exist in other localities, as in
Albany county, for example, as set
forth by the Laramie Republican of
recent date, as to the encroachments
by large sheep companies on the
range of the small stockmen and
homesteaders does not exist in this
part of Carbon county. But il
is becoming very apparent that some
thing must be done if Wyoming is to
be settled up by ranchman and farm
ers and, while there is danger that
it may retard settlement on the pub.
lie land, it really seems to be the only
remedy against existing evils that
presents itself at this time.

Good Word for Pinchot.

There seems to be several editors in
the state, who deem it a grand and
sublime occupation to roast" the
head of the Forestry Service, Mr..
Pinchot. We have a Forest Guard
stationed in our city and the courtesy
with which he treats all and the will
ingness he shows to aid building up
the country and pushing its advance

concentration possible for a depart

and will continue to do a great work

The admiral struck the bell on the
table beside him. Instantly the ma

"My compliments to the officer of
the deck" said the admiral to the
orderly, "and ask him to beg Captain
Beatty to favor me with his presence
in the cabin"

said Sir Charles warmly.

runaway wife. Beatty" continued the
admiral, Lady Darlington and Mis-
tress Deborah Slocum."
"And which one is Sir Charles inter-

he continued, assuming his quarter

"Ay, ay, SIR" said Beatty, saluting
and withdrawing from the cabin.
a moment later there came family
through the bulkheads the shrill
whistling of the boatswain and his
mates, followed by deep cry:
"All hands up anchor!"

coUNTRYs NEEDS SET FORTH.
Wall Street Journal Advocates Re.
turn to Old Conditions.

The following editorial from the
Wall Street Journal is somewhat re-
markable, appearing in purely finan-
cial paper, and is certainly worthy Of
serious consideration:
What America needs Is a revival
of piety, the kind mother and father
used to have-piety that counted it
good business to stop for daily family
prayer before breakfast, right in the
middle of harvest; that quit field work
half hour early Thursday night so as
to get the chores done and go to
prayer meeting; that borrowed money
to pay the preachers salary and
prayed fervently in secret for the sal
vation of the rich man who looked
with scorn on such unbusinesslike be-
havior. That's what we need now to
clean this country of the filth of graft,
and Of greed, petty and big; of wor-
ship of fine horses and big lands and
high office and grand social functions.
What Is this thing we are wor-
Shipping but vain repetition of what
decayed nations fell down and wor-
SHIPPED just before their light went
out? Read the history of Rome in de-
cay and you will find luxury thsge
that could lay a big dollar over our
little doughnut that looks so large to
us. Great wealth never made q ma
tion substantial nor honorable. There
is nothing on earth that looks good
that is so dangerous for a man or ma
tion to handle as quick, easy. big
money. If you do resist it's deadly In.
auences the chances are that 1t will
get your son. 1t takes greater and
liner heroism to dare to be poor in
America than to capture battery in
Manchuria."
