Denver, Sept. 15.-Governor Shat

JUST MEN AFTER ALL,

Did you ever stop to think that even the
most important man in the country is of COM
paritively little account in the affairs of this
world? A few months ago there was Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the greatest country on
earth, filling all the front pages of newspapers
about the things he was doing about to do
He is now over in the wlds of Africa, and while
we like to read about his hunting luck, we are
not especially concerned about his movements
any longer
Up in the mountains at Arden in New York
is man who controls more lines of railroad
than any other Individual in the world. He is
reported to be very sick man, and the news
paper reporters are buzzing around as though
on his recovery depended the stability of this
old earth.
We trust that he will recover, because like
all men he loves life. We wish the same of
John Doe, the business man, who is i'll at his
home, or of Henry Brown, the laborer, who is
not able to work these days. That is SYM
pathetic sentiment we owe humanity But be-
yond this. it will make very little difference to
the world whether the first to go is Hartman,
or Doe or Brown. When Hartman is called
the wheels on his many lines of road will stop
for minute, he is put in the tomb, but they
will the next second roll which the same
merry hum, and the business of the world will
go on just the same.
It's well that this is so-man's time to do
his work is during his days of health and
energy, and it is fortunate that when his task
IS DONE that it does not hinder those who fol-
low from going with the business of life
Each persons individuality is more to him than
all the rest of the world, but one man in ninety
millions cannot by his disappearance make any
permanent vacancy in the world any more than
can the drop of water drawn up to the great
sun leave hole in the ocean.-St. Cloud Jour

Fifty of the commercial experts of Japan

In glancing over our exchanges we find
that practically every country newspaper in the
state, with one exception, suggests the advisa-
bility of nominating S. Y. Gordon for lieutenant
governor, and that one exception is the Inter
Lake Tribune, which thus far maintains a
modest silence. If the Tribune will fall in line
and make it unanimous, the sentiment express
ed is assurance that the pencil pushers can be
relied upon to undertake the task of overthrow
ing the old line politicians and giving the state
a to preside over the deliberations of the
senate who will stand for square deal and
who will submit to nothing else. 1t is high
time that the people awoke to a realization of
the power welded by the incumbent of that
office in the shaping of Legislation and then
proceed with determination to nominate and
elect man who is right upon all propositions
where the interests of the people and the cor
porations conflict and who be depended
upon to stay right. Sam fully meets these re-
quirements and if he can induce the Inter-Lake
Tribune to comment favorably upon the plan
there will be things doing when the proper
times comes.-Wheaton Gazette Reporter

FEW WOMEN LAUGH HEARTILY
Whether Due to Lack Of humor OF
chiidhood's Training 10 Unknown.
But Fact Remains.

Women laugh too little. Whether
this is due to their lack of humor or
to childhOod's training in gentle man
ners may be questioned. Certain it is
that q hearty laugh in a woman's
voice is rare music. An audience OF
women rustles with amusement, but
seldom laughs. A group OF girls gig
gle, but do not laugh. A woman read
ing the most brilliantly humorous story
seldom gets beyond smile. When
Sir Walter Besant, in his clever skit,
The Revolt of Man." pictured the
time in the twentieth century when
women should have usurped all power
political. ecclesiastical and social
he shrewdly noted that laughter had
died out in England; and when men
revolted against their feminine ty-
rants. they came back to their own
with peals of laughter. A Paris doc
tor has recently opened q place for
the laughter cure. 1t is a private
institution, and large fees are charged
The patients sit around a room. and
at q give nmoment begin to smile at
each other. The smile brOadens to q
grin, and at q signal to a peal OF
laughter. Two hours a day OF this
healthful exercise is said to cure the
worst cases of dyspepsia. But wheth

naturally could be acquired by this
process is doubtful-MOntreal Herald

We'll, l never! That's the finest

The men who have banded together
for the purpose Of enforcing the Law

port of every citizen. The fact that
these houses have been allowed to

the fault of the city government. The
demand for the suppression of the
