The Board Of university trustees Should be Ezonerated

1t is customary, after election, to look pleasant and treat all cam
paign stories n a sort of joke. The most of us may be able to force
a smile that we IRE far from feeling, after the crushing defeat we have
just undergone, but it is going to be a mighty long time before we
can forget some of the false and malicious assertions and insinuations
made by the leader of the democratic party during the campaign
just closed. For example the onslaught on the board of University
trustees. The only foundation for that story, which attacked the
honesty and integrity of good and upright men, striving to enhance
the interests of the University, was the false promises and distorted
opinions of a certain disgrunled person. Asa matter of fact the
relinquishing of The land in Carbon county, which was of small value,
and obtaining land for which it had a positive guarantee ofat least $40
per acre, was one of the best business transactions ever made by a
University board. Instead of losing a large sum of money for the
University by that move, the board saved a large sun.
Because the campaign is over, and We Ire inclined to be lenient
over heated assertions made in debate, is no reason why We should let
one of our state institutions lie un Ter a false charge. The Uni
versity is the property of the state and anything that will work harm
to it should be a matter of concern to every citizen of the state. 1t
Is because the Sun is Jealous of the good name of the University and
against the campaign story which spread broadcast all over the
state to the detriment of that institution.
Well, Missouri went republican. That liz something to be proud
of amid the fallen hopes that lie in heaps around us at this time.
There is but a step between a great victory and a great defeat at
any time, and we a now sit back and watch the other fellow while
he vany tries to make good"
There is just one thing that makes the recent democratic victory
in Wyoming bearable-none of the democratic papers of the state
used any of their cussed old ROSTERS in their first issue after election.
The people rel promised lower prices IS soon a s the democrats
were elected, The election is ten days old and bacon is still so high
that we are compelled to have it depositedinthe bank and draw it out.
Dear, disappointed, republican reader: Four years is an awful
long time to wait, but the dems seem to have the votes, so there is
nothing for us to do but rustic another job and saw wood" like they
have been doing for 10! these many yeare-to be more exact, for the
past Is years.
When the editor of the Sun read over the returns in TUESDAYS
Wyoming Tribune, and saw that every state officer on the democratic
ticket except one had been elected, he said in his heart; IAN en-.
envy hath done this" and then he went out and complained to the
bleak November wind and cussed softly to himself for fifteen minutes.
The election is over, but the explanations are not all in yet
Better make up your mind to wait for the coming in of the returns
from The back counties and, in the mean time, you would better get
that coal house filled up and such other little trokes done as you can.
against the coming of he bad November storm that will be due here
now IN II few days. Even the weather will go democratic pretty Soon.
