WILL HELP TAFT.
Improvement in Business lnures to
Benefit of Republicans.

Washington, D.. c., July 14.-Ar-
~rangements for Fastening the dis
bursement of $3.50. O00, 900 are being
made by those officials of the govern
ment having control over contracts for
supplies. The object is to assist in
the restoration OF natural business
conditions. The government is one
of the largest buyers in all markets.
Before he went to Oyster Bay, Pres
ident Roosevelt told the heads of de-
partments to see to it that there was
no delay in making the annual con-
tracts for supplies. Bids by the hun
dreds are opened every day. In some
of the departments, notably the treas
ury, vacation leaves of absence during
July and August have been cut to the
minimum. Clerks have been needed
In the work OF writing specifications
and opening bids.
The speed in the letting of contracts
in part proceeds upon the assumption
that improvement in business will in
ure to the benefit of Judge Taft's can-
didacy.

A DASTARDLY

From the reports received relating
to the attack At Buffalo upon Messrs
Eggleston and Gunnell OF the state
board Of pharmacy, 1t was one Of the
most dastardly outrages ever perpe-
trated in the state. The members OF
the board had simply performed their
duty In q righteous attempt TO enforce
the laws OF the state which they are
sworn to uphold. The men charged
with the crimes for which they we've
arrested pleaded guilty and were fined.
The assault was for tho purpose OF
getting even with the officers who
brought the charge. Every man con-
nected with the assau : ought to be
prosecuted to the limit. The state
cannot AFFORD to have It's laws disre-
Earded and its oficers beaten for at
tempting to enforce them.
OF all the institutions that have
dealings with the people, it Is impor-
tant that q drug store should obey the
law. 1t is extremely dangerous to have
morphine and other deadly drugs sold
10 the people without a prescription,
and it can also be safely concluded that
a druggist who would do this sort OF
work would not be overly scrupulous
bout compromising his medicines.
The state pharmacy law Is a good
n and Its enforcement should be
strictly carried out, even il it is nee
essary to call out the militia

REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

State Treasurer Gillette, In speaking
OF the financial condition OF Wyoming,
says the people are to be congratulated
upon the splendid condition of the
treasury. Not only are they getting
interest on all state deposits, but the
state holds more interest-bearing
bonds than 1t has outstanding indebt-
edness. The debt. too. Is being wiped
out with great rapidity. Although Mr..
Gillette did not call attention to the
TACT the people OF the state will re.
call that this splendid financial con
dittcn has been brought about under
the administration Of republican state

that he shall rob his neighbor of what
that neighbor has earned.
This particular socialistic ideal
would be 10 enthrone privilege In one
OF its crudest, grossest, most dishonest
for the most harmful. and most unjust
forms. Equality of opportunity to
thing I can to bring 1t about. Equal
ity Of reward-no, unless there Is also
equality of service. II the service is
equal, let the reward be equal; but let
the reward depend on the service; and
mankind being composed as 1t Is, there
Will be inequality Of service for a long
time to come. no matter how great the
opportunity may be. and just 30 long
IS there is inequality of service, 1t is
eminently desirable that there should
be inequality Of reward"
AS usual, the president has hit the
nail squarely upon the head. The 80
cialist doctrine has been tried upon
many occasions and always with failure.
There a be no such thing as success
when Il premium Is put upon shiftless-
ness and incompetency and the mar
who can Is offered no greater induce
ment than the man who can't. 1t Is
the constant effort to reach a higher
degree of perfection that brings out alt
that is good and noble in the race. The
mar who has a pressing desire to
share In another mans reward Ia not
the kind OF q man that makes a sue
cess in life. AS a general proposition,
the more he shares the more he wants
10, hence he becomes n weakling and
n dependent.
Mr.. Bryan is also against socialism.
in an article in the Century a little
more than n year ago he delivered
some telling blows against their falla-
cies and pointed out that nothing a
be accomplished through their doc
trine of common ownership.

SPLENDID NEWS SERVICE.

Readers Of The Republican can tes
eity to the efficiency of the Associated
Press in gathering the news Of the
nation. Fhe splendid reports of the
republican and democratic conventions
published In these columns were fully
appreciated. No special correspon.
dents or special writer's of any de-
scription had better facilities for get
ting the news than the great news
gathering organization. Its reports
are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and thor.
oushly reliable. If yellow journals de-
sire to have their reports of a lurid
hue, they must of necessity get their
news elsewhere. This paper covered
the democratic convention with the
same faithfulness that 1t did the re-
publican convention. 1t will in the
future give the news accurately, SO
thai its readers, whether democrats
or republicans. can depend upon the
truthfulness Of what they read herein.
In these days of electricity and swift
transportation. it is mighty hard for
the "yellows' to deceive their patrons
any great length Of time, the public
being too well posted and discriminate
ing in Judgment
1t Is a source Of satisfaction to The
Republican that its readers appreciate
this good service. Since 1t became a
member Of the Associated Press its
subscription list has gone forward
tremendously. The people of Laramie
and surrounding country fully appreci.
ate getting their news twelve hours in
advance OF Cheyenne and Denver pa
pers and their response has been graft
flying.

HoLDuP STORY FROM
THE JERICHO CANON.

Speaking of the influence of the Sun
day school upon the new settlements
in the west, says William ]. Hart In
the Epworth Herald, DIR. George M.
Boynton once said to his audience in
the course OF a lecture:
81 was in Wyoming a while ago, and
was visiting a Sunday School. The
teacher asked "a class of boys what
they We're studying the previous Sun.
day One of them replied. we were
reading about a holdup in the Jericho
canon The teacher asked him to
describe the chapter, and this is what
he said: "A Teller went out from
some men swiped his wad and smashed
his face. A. doctor came along, looked
at him lying in the road. and said.
This amt my case,' and passed
along. A minister came, and he passed
on without helping the fellow. Then
a cowboy rode up. He brushed OF the
fellows face, took him on his horse.
and drove to The nearest r%oadhouse.
When he got there he gave the fellow
his wad, told them that he had to go
along, and If they needed any mor
money in caring for the man he would
furnish it,"
This was certainly a graphic state
ment. A vivid picture was evidently
in the mind Of the boy. DR.. Boynton
added: That was the boys way OF
telling the story. 1t was not slang. 1t
was his dialect. And he had caught

Bryan Ab.ndon. the E..t.

Denver, Colo. July 15.-Frank ad-
mission Of the fact that Bryan has
abandoned all hope of carrying any
eastern state is the feature of the post
convention situation here today. 1t is
fully realized that his only hope lies
in the great middle west. 1t was this
hope that dictated the choice Of Kern
for vice president, a man who has al
ready sustained two severe defeats in
his state. The fact, however, that
Indiana is perhaps the most doubtful
OF the Mississippi valley states was
urged in Kern's behalf.

ROOSEVELT AND THE SOCIALISTS

That was a backhander the president
gave the socialists. His argument is
against the doctrine that there should
be equality Of reward where there is
no equality Of effort and performance.
He insists with all his might upon
equality Of opportunity, but further
than that he does not believe that hui
manfty should go. This Is the way the
president puts It.:
There can be nc grosser example
OF privilege than taat set before us as
an ideal by certain soc1alisttc writer's
the ideal that every man shall put
INTO the common fund what he can.
which would mean what he chose. and

Kodoi Is liquid. like the diges-
tive juices. 1t acts the moment
you take it.
The pain ends. irritation stops,
the food is completely digested.
That is not true of other diges-
tiers, for they rely largely on pep
sin.
Pepsin disests albumen perfect-
y, but that 10 all it can do.
Starch, fats and phosphates
form most Of your food. Pepsin
can't digest those.
And it can't do bowel digestion.
Yet half of digestion is done BY
the bowel fluids.
It requires many ingredients to
make a perfect digester, and Kodol
contains them all.
II digests any food-any mixture
of foods-completcly.
1t does all that the stomach
does-all that the bowels do.
You can see it do this in a test
tube, under proper conditions. You
can feel what it does in the stom-
ach. There al be no doubt about
it.

locality, represented the animal as

were scarce at the time the transfer

the first time 1t gave an exhibition OF
equine gymnastics that would have
brought shouts Of applause from an
audience in a wild west show. But my
friend was not conducting such = show
just then, and as the other party to
the sale could not be found he decided
to take the beast to the nearest town
so miles away, and try to trade him
on.
There he found a city man, who
drove a bay mare and a white horse to
a buggy, and who was anxious to trade
his bay mare for. the white horse on
which my friend rode, az 1t would give
him a team of even color. So The
trade was made and the next moment

appeared around a corner, my friend
was approached by a professional
horse trader, who said he had just rec

back had been injured a year ago in a
street car accident, and the animal
would therefore be unfit for hard work.
He offered to bring back the city man,
as he knew where he lived, and Incl
dentally he asked leave to use the bay

My unsophisticated friend readily
gave his consent, being completely de-
