The Press Meeting

That Press Gang meeting at Their
mopolis next mouth will no doubt be
a swell affair and not a single mar of
the entire gang should miss it. From
the program outlined in the Casper
Tribune it looks very much as tho it
would be the part of wisdom to take
ones wife along. However, there are
hot springs there, and "a man can boil
himself into a condition to walk up
right at least part of the time.
When it comes to swiftness there are
few societies or penal institutions
that al lay over the newspaper boys
when they get strung out. And the
beauty of it is, none of their doings
ever get in the papers. The boys see
to it that everything bearing on their
doings while at play is blue pepciled.
If any other gang has a cinch like
that they will please trot it out for in.
spection. The Wyoming Press Gang
is a close corporation, that Can give
Mr.. Rockafellar and associates cards
and spades and then beat them out.
But even the brightest anticipa-
lions have their draw backs. For
example, there is that lS-mile stage
ride to Thermopolis. After a man
has travelled, back and forth, on a
twenty-fiye-mi stage ride for thirty
years and had his spinal colum and
liver, and other ecettera, 80 badly
mixed that it vas IA question which
was the wisest thing to do try to
live, or send for the undertaken, the
thot of a stage ride is liable to give
him the mental jim,jams. However,
we have lived thru it and may be in
duced to suspend all other amuse-
ments, brave that stage ride aud
come to Thermopolis, for we know
the meeting will be worth almost any
effort necessary to get there.

Home Made windmill.

E. W. Devine, the proprietor of
the lumber yard, is quite a genius.
He has rugged up some very use-
full contrivances in connection
with the work of his traction en-
CINE which is doing such fine
work in blowing up the native
soil on the land of the Saratoga
Land Co. His latest invention is
a homemade windmill erected at
his house for pumping purposes.
1t is a set of wooden fans placed
on a tower, to which is attached a
crank and pump rod. The mill is
stationary and faces the west, the
direction from which comes near
ly all of our wind. AS it is good
and strong there is not much dan
ger of anything short of a cyclone
being able to disable or put it out
of commission.

THURSDAY, MAY q, 1909


Next Sunday will be Memorial Day
again. How rapidly the years are
slipping past! 1t will not be very
many years until the men who made
Memorial Day possible will have
passed to the Great Beyond, and join
ed the Army of the Republic on the
other shore.
But the old soldier does not look
forward 10 Memorial Day now with
the same feelings that thrilled him
when it was first established. 1t
meant something then. 1t meant an
attitude of reverence, a MUD full of
grateful thoughts and ap%preciative
sentiments toward the living as well
as the dead, for every person who had
been one of that great army of men
who had given their health, their
limbs, their very lives that the Union
might be preserved. Now, it means
a day of pleasure, of riotous feasting
and merry making, of excitement and
turmoil, of excess and often crime on
the part of the multitude who have
no object but to have a day of sem
suous pleasure.
There is, we are glad to note a NOV
ment ON foot to call a halt to the des-
ecration-for it is nothing else-of
this sacred day. The great heart of
the American people is sound. They
only need to be shown the wrong they
are doing themselves, as well as the
memory of the great cause for which
it vas established, in thus allowing
the lower elements among them to
change a day of reverence and devo-
ton into a day of excess and feasting.
1t is true that we have not many holi-
days-not nearly enough-but it were
pitiful, indeed, if we could not so con-
troll ourselves that we might give one
day a year over to a respectful and
thankful devotion to the martyrs liv =
ing and dead, who shed their blood
that a government of the people by
the people and for the people might
not perish from the face of the earth"

with a good deal of wholesome vigor,
