Republicans Alarmed.

News comes from Washington that
the Republican leaders are trembling
tor Republican success in the coming
presidential campaign. They realize
that the robber tariff on steel rails
that enable the steel trust to sell
rails abroad at several dollare per
ton less than at home is a handicap
to railroad building for which the
Republican party is strictly respon-
sible. The idea of protecting q great
trust against foreign competition,
when it is underselling foreign
ers on their own soil. is so
foolish and so iniquitous that
common-sense Republicans as we'll
as Democrats are sorely tired
of 1t, and the idea Of the Republicans
who have hsd eleven years of power
to reform the tariff going into the
campaign promising IT. as . fruit
Of their next triumph II they can get
1t. They will reform 1t upwards If
any way. Still further the Republic
can press like all others Is fighting
mad about the high robber tariff on
paper pulp, which enables the paper
trust to rob them numerically.
These indeed be unhappy times for
the G. o. p. elephant. The worm Is
going to turn.

Too Fast.

Sheriff Ellison placed Merl Lyman
and Jim Coltbarp under arrest at
Rangely Tuesday and brought the
boys to town Thursday. The charge
against the boys is passing worthless
checks.
1t seems that the Lyman boy stole
a team belonging to his father and
sold it. The check given In payment
was stopped. The young man issued
checks against his supposed bank ac-
count. At Rifle Perry Spurlock en-
dorsed one Of these checks; hence is
complaining witness in the case.
Jim Coltharp was taken In charge
and held MS a witness to the various
transactions.

School Election May 4, 1908.

On above date all persons that are
qualified and interested in schools
should get out and vote.
Put no one on the school board
who has an AZ to grind.
Any person that aspires to get on a
school board for the purpose Of hiring
an incompetent teacher, or discharg-
ing . competent one through per-
sonal, political or church prejudice,
ia an '.undesirable citizen"
The person that cannot see pub
lie wrong 80 long rs his whims and
caprices are treated with respect by
teachers, Is a very poor individual
on a school board.
The person that wants to be a
member of the school board for what
he can indirectly make out of 1t is
not public spirited citizen.
A member of school board should
beibroAd minded and recognize right
and justice as something more than
that which the law compels him to
do.
Finally justice and right is not
doing something for your own benefit
because the law cannot reach you.
Neither is 1t to do something to
the detriment of others because the
law can not make you do Justice.
The law gives school directors
great latitude In the use Of Judgment.
This IL for the sake Of justice, not
oppression.
Do right Is not the big stick"
Do right is not don't get caught. 4"
Do right on the school board is not

PRIESTS SLAYER TO HANG.
No Evidence to Connect ALA With
the Anarchists.

DENVER, Col. March 13.-Giuseppe
Ala, who shot and killed Father Leo
Heinrichs in ST. Elizabeth's Church in this
city February %. was found guilty yes
terday of murder in the first degree
Hanging was the penalty fixed by the
fury.
In the argument just before the jury
took the case Mr. Widdicombe said that
the only possible explanation of the MUIR
der is that the man is an anarchist or is
insane There was absolutely no evidence
that the man is an anarchist, and the
fact that he practically was in a starving
condition would indicate that he was not
member of any society. Otherwise. he
would have had enough to eat at least.
District Attorney G. A. Stidger in his
closing argument asked:
when everything in the life of the
prisoner shows that this man is sane. is
an American jury to find him insane?'
He said that il not an alienist had testf-
fled to the prisoners sanity the jury could
find no evidence of insanity in Ala. un-
less 1T adopted the theory of DR.. Tosti
that every murderer is insane.

TY COBB SUBMITS
AN ULTIMATUM

DETROIT, Mich. March 13-Ty Cobb IL
not the least bit superstitious. The
charter member of the Cobb Hold-out
Club has informed Manager Jennings
of the Detroit team that the clubs answer
must be submitted to him today.
Just think of it, Tyrus names the day
supposed to be unlucky. Friday. as the
final day of grace. A glance at the cal
endar reveals the startling fact that today
is the 18th of March.
Ty is certainly challenging the fates by
naming Friday as the day and the 18th
as the date.
Cobb is at present in Augusta, Ga.
while Manager Jennings and the Tigers
are at Hot Springs doing light work. I'm
less Jennings grants Cobb the contract
asked the fiery southerner announces that
he will return to his home at Royston
and remain idle there, not doing a single
bit of preliminary work to get in shape
for the season. He refuses to confirm or
deny the report that he would play with
the Logan Squares of the Chicago City
League If he failed to reach an agree
ment with Detroit.
The Detroit club is playing a waiting
game. and Cobb is doing the same. Each
believes that the other will give in almost
any day. The club figures that Cobb g
s.eat love for the game will cause him to
sign UP as he sees the season about to
open end the other players all in line
Cobb on the other hand figures that the
Detroit club is greatly weakened without
his services and that they will give in
rather than weaken the team. He also
believes that he Is the big card of the club
and the league, and that Detroit will not
draw as we'll at home or on the road
without him i'm the lineup. In this con-
ieuJfon he is correct for he was I'M
Questionably the sensation of the league
last year
The ou.come of the Cobb case will be
waited w.,6 interest by players and fans
