That Mothers Club

At least some of the mothers Of
Saratoga are becoming aroused to the
necessity of forming a Mothers Club,
in order to combat the evils that be-
set their children, chief of which
seems to be that of smoking. At
least some of the boys in Saratoga
homes are permitted to smoke openly
at home and this, too, apparently with
the approval of their parents. 1t
will indeed be hard to make Roadway
against the smoking evil on the
school grounds unless the parents CO.
operate with the teachers n trus-
tees and hold the boys in check at
home.
But this cigarette habit is only one
of the evils that will have to be met
and overcome, The girls need to be
safeguarded as much as the boys and
the Mothers Club will find its hands
full. There is a great deal OF energy
now being expended by the mothers
of Saratoga on secret and other soci-
cites that would much better be turn
ed to stemming the evils that beset
their growing boys and girls.
First of all we need a library for
the boys and girls that will furnish
them with good, wholesome reading.
Above all we need a place where they
can go to read, and a literary society
should be formed for the discussion
of books and the current events of the
day. 1t will be a big undertaking,
but we have faith to believe that the
mothers of Saratoga will rise to the
occasion. They will never know how
deep seated the evil is until they be-
gin to insert the probe. The results
may be discouraging, but they are
not hopeless.

The Sun publishes a communica-
ton from Senator Price in another
column entitled, "Where Were the
Ladies7" which contains some pertin-
eut suggestion with refesence to the
"Great Democratic Victory" which
the journal sees in the recent city
election there. As a matter of fact
there is but little difference between
the figures in the recent city election,
and the election IN November, so we
do not see that it is the result OF
freak legislation" after all. By quot
ing the Sheridan Posts article with
out comment the Rawlins Republican
laid itself open to the charge of en-
dorsing the sentiments contained in
it. AS a matter of fact the law pre-.
venting the use of carriages, liquors,
cigars, ETC., at either a primary or an
election is a good one, for the ex'
pense attached to the custom was
growing greater every year and was a
serious burden. The Legislature did
we'll to pass such a law.

When Colorado really wants any
thing she has to appeal to Senator
Warren. 1t is indeed gratifying to
every Wyomingite that Senator War
rem is able to answer the appeal and
to deliver the goods. Some day
Wyoming people will wake up to a
realizing sense of just how great a
man Senator Warren is. We have
been so familiar with him and his
work for the past 25 or 80 years that
we take him as a matter of course,
and do not stop to consider that he is
head and shoulders above almost
everyone in the Senate.

The city fathers have done some
excellent work for the preservation of
the river bank against the encroach-
ment OF high water, but unless they
do a great deal more, what they have
done will be perfectly useless. IN
less the levy is carried up the bank as
far as the hot spring, and also extend
ed down as far as the calaboose, the
river will food the town. Look at
the way the river is rising now, and
yet not even the foot-hill snow has
begun to go off. This work should
be done before the water rises.
