Revision Of the Tariff.

Congress meets next Tuesday for
the purpose of revising the tariff. The
tariff, as haslbeen frequently said is a
local issue. In Wyoming we are in
terested in having the tariff retained
on wool, coal and hides. In Alabama
and Louisiana they want a tariff on
sugar and cotton. And so all over
the United States, each part seeking
protection for some favored interest.
With us we feel the need of having
our wool, coal and hides protected,
for we deal largely in them and pro-
lection means much to us as a state.
We want the wool and hides protect
ed because men of this state have
large amounts of money invested in
them and their prosperity means the
prosperity of every other interest in
the state. We want protection on
coal in order that we may pay better
wages to workingmen and also he
able to compete with the coal mined
in the Dominion of Canada, where
less wages are paid the coal miner.
Some business interest in every
community, however, is hampered by
the protection extended by the tariff.
Take the newspaper business as an
example. The paper on which this
article is printed costs the Sun nearly
double what 1t did four or five years
ago by reason of the tariff on wood
pulp. Hence the newspapers gener-
ally without distinction of politics,
are asking that tariff on wood pulp
be removed.
Whether congress will be able to
keep the middle of the road in their
efforts to revise the tariff remains to
be seen, but we believe they will be
able to SO adjust it that the prosperi-
ty of the country will not be endan.
gered while giving relief on many vi
tai points.

Governor Brooks veto of the Swish
er bill tent the democratic press
straight up in the air. But, really,
when you come to look at the matter
from the Governors standpoint you
wonder you did not see that the bill
could not accomplish what it aimed
to do before he put the seal of his
disapproval on it. Let US grant that
the Legislature had the power to regu-
late railroad fares in Wyoming, but
its power certainly ended there. 1t
could not say what rates should be
charged in Nebraska. And that is
just what the bill aimed to do 1t
said to the U. P. road "You may
charge Wyoming people 3 cents per
mile, but when you get to the Ne
braska line you must not charge them
to exceed 2 cents per mile" We all
admit that the U. P. is not doing the
square thing by Wyoming people in
compelling them to pay 8 cents per
mile thru Nebraska, but Mr.. SWISH
er's bill, which aimed to correct that
injustice, would have failed, because
only congress could make laws that
will regulate inter state commerce.
Any n a see that Governor
Brooks could have signed the bill and
let the matter be tested in the courts,
as it certainly would have been, but
he could not conscientiously give his
approval to a measure which he knew
was fundamentally wrong.

Danger in Surface Wells.

1t is encouraging to see Saratoga
residents having wells drilled below
the surface drainage, 1t is quite GER
tain that at some day, perhaps not
far distant, this town will be visited
by an epidemic of typhoid fever.
When that tine comes-and it will
surely come-surface wells, will be
the prime cause of the disaster. Ev.
cry drilled well that is sunk Is just
that much OF a safe guard against
such a time of disaster. For that
reason the Sun has no hesitancy in
urging every N to have a drilled
well at the very earliest possible
moment.

True, this was on solid land, while
before there had been the peril of the
sea. But now the girl was alone. Out
side the straining walls of her refuge,
the hurricane yelled and shrieked and
roared-a headless, formless monster.

throw her stanch old tree giant. that
in his fall his shattered trunk might
crush and mangle her. Or at any in
slant a thunder-bolt might rend open
the great tower of living wood, and
hurl her ~blackened body into the pool
on the cave floor.
Once she fancied that she heard
Blake shouting outside the door; but
when she screamed a shrill response,
the blast Knocked her with echoing
shrieks, and she dared not venture to
free the door. If 1t were Blake, he
did not shout again. After a time she
began to think that the sound had
been no more than a freak of the
shifting wind. Yet the thought OF him
out in the full fury of the cyclone
served to turn her thoughts from her
own danger. She prayed aloud for his
safety, beseeching God that he be
spared. She sought to pray even for
Winthrope. But the vision of that
beastly face rose up before her, and
she could not-then.
Presently she became aware of a
change in the storm. The terrific
gusts blew with yet greater violence.

force was broken by the bend in the
thick wall of the entrance. After a
time the deluge dashed aslant the en-.
trance, gushing down the door in a
cataract of foam.
Another interval, and the driving
downpour no longer struck even the
edge of the opening. The wind was
Veering rapidly as the cyclone center

j. j. Jefferies, the veteran pugilist,
had some very potent words in a re-
cent issue of the Denver Post con.
corning the cigarette. He said:
"Boys, beware of the deadly cigarette.
There is something about the smok-
ing of cigarettes that has a deadly eff
feet ON the morals and ambition of a
boy or young man. 1t may be that
they do not affect a grown man, but
it is certain that every cigarette a
boy smokes is a nail in his coffin so
far as his ambition and honor is con-
cerned. The boy does not notice any
change either in his moral character
or his chances for advancement--but
other people do, and the boy who
persists in the habit until it becomes
fixed and he enjoys the delights of
inhaling the smoke into his lungs
and blowing it out thru his nostrils
has forever sealed his own doom to-
ward progress, What there is about
a little tobacco and a little paper that
works this change ! do not know,
but | know that it certainly does
leave ito mark so indelibly that the
boy can never hope to rise in the
world if he escapes the asylum or a
horrible death"

MIR. Pearson, the genial manager of
the Saratoga Grocery company, is
considered a reliable and truthful
man. He showed the Sun man a bo.
quet of tulips and hyacinths Monday
which he said had been grown ON the
north side of his house. He remark
ed further, in a casual tone, that all
those on the south side we're gone,
intimating that the season had been
so forward that they had already
bloomed and gone out of business.
Mr.. Pearson is still doing business at
the old stand, which is evidence that
the Sun man was kind and permitted
him to live and Laugh some more.

The Saturday Evening Post calls
the attention of those congressman
who have been so vigorously attack
ing ex-P President Roosevelt that they
would not be SO Incorporate in their
language had Mr.. Roosevelt been GO
ing to remain in the White House. 1t
calls attention to the fact that any
man can be brave enough to kick a
dead lion. Also that Mr.. Roosevelt is
now IA private citizen by his own
choice-that he could have had the
nomination and election to the Pres
idency again had he but said the
word All of which is worthy Of con
sideration by those who are busy
throwing stones at Mr.. Roosevelt.

The Sun is pleased to see a move
ment toward the establishment of
water works. Such an enterprise
would, however, have to be handled
by a corporation or private individu-

expense.
