HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE

The woman's National Daily, a
paper of large circulation throughout
the United States, pays Mrs. B. B.
Brooks the following welldeserved
compliment:
Our government of the people, for
the people and by the people, makes
politics an important topic of CONVEX
%sation, and grave pontical problems
are generally solved more readily and
correctly by the fireside than in the
heat and smoke of public debate.
Hence in Wyoming. where woman's
suffrage was first adopted in the terri
torial days of 90 and later embodied
in the state constitution political dis
cussions by the fireside and not only
of daily occurrence, but more impor-
tant, help TO unite the family, enlarge

THE FUTURE LOOKS GOOD.

Outsiders are beginning to sit up
and take notice of Laramie's bright
prospects. The big land deal recently

city will be. They realize that a hun
dred citizens upon lands where there
was not more than a %half-dozen before

has this to say of the recen deal:

city Of Laramie, is to be congratulated

say nothing of the gigantic plans of

And the Wyoming Tribune sizes the
situation up as follows: There seems

That enterprising city is on the line
of the proposed Denver. Laramie and

be extended in the coal field and cat

all, the big Haley ranches on the Big

Boston, Mass, May MAY day in
New England, usually a day of indus

In the textile industry in New Eng

TArFs INCREASING STRENGTH.

AS convention day approaches II be-
comes more and more apparent that
Secretary Taft is the overwhelming
choice of the people of this state for
their president. The preliminary
movements in Carbon county and
Sweetwater county are the latest de-
velopments along this line The Raw.
Inns Republican speaks of the change
Of sentiment in the following emphatic
manner:
Now that the primaries are over
and delegates elected to the county
convention which will elect delegates
to the state convention to be held at
Lander, the Republican deems it pro.
per to again consider the matter of an
instructed delegation to Chicago,
which proposition has been discussed
pro and con throughout the state. A
little while ago we opposed the idea of
a pledged delegation on the ground
that there was not at that time a set
tied opinion among the people as to
their choice for president. From the
trend of events during the past few
weeks 1t has become apparent to even
the casual observer that a large ma
jority of the republicans of Carbon
county are for Taft, and, knowing that
practically all of the delegates elected
big secretary, this paper, in the inter
est OF the party here and elsewhere,
gladly %withdraws its former objections
to a pledged delegation and states
further that It fayors such a course,
believing that the county and the state
will be benefited thereby. We believe
in majority rule and since We have be.
come convinced that the rank and file
of the republicans of Carbon county
want to see Taft the nominee of the
national organization for president,
there is nothing left for us to do but
politely asquiesce. This is a republi-
can paper from the word go and we
hope there is nothing stubborn about
1t. We are for the party because we
believe the party Is for the people,
and we are with the majority of the
party because the majority is supposed
W hhoW anu uo loT tHe pest. therefore,
We say with the rest that the best
thing Wyoming can do at Lander is to
Instruct for Taft"
Over in Sweetwater county the
Rock Springs Miner takes this view
of the situation:
The republican primaries held in
this city last Saturday evening, passed
off in an unusually quiet manner. In
but W of the five precincts was there
any contest, the others three pre-
cincts presenting but one list of names,
which were elected by UNANIMOUS vote.
In the two precincts where contests
were stirred up, the honors were di-
vided and one side secured five dele
gates while the other secured four OF
the total of nine in both precincts.
AS far as is known almost every dele
gate is a Taft man, but whether the
convention of next Saturday will in
struot for Taft, or not. remains to be
seen. There is one thing sure, how.
ever, the delegation from Sweetwater
county to the Lander convention will
be Taft men whether instructed or
not"

the had been improperly ad-

the state of Wyoming should not be
required to heal the expense OF her
support and care.
Attorney General Mullen then re-
