A Hint-BE FAIR
by Rev. ]. Wilbur Chapman

(By Rev. ]. Wilbur Chapman)
Put the Golden Rule into practice.
Judge men not by single acts, but by
the sum of all their acts up to date.
When men fable Fair.
Some contend with an ancestry
with a downward pull. Yours is
quite the opposite-Be Fair.
Some struggle with temptations,
trials, and environment of which you
know nothing. The wonder is not
that they failed, but that they stood
SO long-Be Fair.
Put yourself in his place who has
stumbled. If you had faced his con-
ditions with his past, and without the
influences that have made you strong
would you have failed1-Be Fair.
Look for strength In people, moi
weakness; for. good, not evil. Mos

Judge Craig OF the
Third Judicial District

Judge David FL. Craig, the Judge
of the Third Judicial District, was
the unanimous choice of the dele
gates from three counties to the
Judicial convention to succeed
himself. The members of the
Sweetwater Bar Association, as
well as the entire Republican con-
~vention of that county gave him
their unqualified endorsement.
Here in Carbon County, Judge
Craig's home, he is the
choice eli the members of
the Bar, as we'll as having a large
number of personal friends thruout
the county. Hon. G. E. Blyden-
burgh, the democratic nominee
for Judge of this district, made it
a stipulation in accepting the nom
ination, that no attack
of any kind be made on Judge
Craig. He said: Judge Craig
and L are warm personal friends
now and | will not accept this
nomination unless the campaign is
to be conducted on such lines that
whoever may be elected our friend
ship shall be unbroken at the end
of the contest" No Judge could
have a warmer endorsement than
that, coming as it does from one of
the most prominent members of
the Carbon County Bar.

Judge Carey Deals
In Half Truths

mailing to the voters of the state
a letter headed "Facts-Consider
Them Well" This circular is a
mixture of falsehood and artfully
worded statement of half-truths
making them all the more vicious
and misleading. The very first
word of the circular is Il lie. pure
and simple, for the entire sheet
does not contain a single truthful
statement. Governor Brooks, in
his Cheyenne speech, completely
disproved every charge and insin-
uation made in the circular, and
is doing so in his speeches over
the state.
Quoting from the circular that
the present system of taxation
"makes the small owner pay an
unjust proportion" the governor
called attention to the fact that
this year the railroads paid SI25,
600 more than ever before, that
only the big corporations and men
of great wealth like Carey were
paying more, while ninety per
cent. of the people were paying
less. Quoting from the Laramie
county figures, he showed that in
1908, under the old system, prop
erty employed in merchandise and
manufacturing paid a total state
and county tax of 11,72i, in 1909,
in spite of a large increase in
these institutions in this county
the total tax paid was only SOL
OIL. Laramie county sheep paid
S 1000 less in 1910 than in 1908,
and the per head levy was reduced
from 5 to 81 cents. Cattle paid
S25, 492 in 1908, but only S12,304
in 1910, while the per head tax
was lowered from 27 to Is cents.
Borses paidS7,05S in 1906, but on
ly $4.375 in 1910. Land and i'm
provements paid S47,192 in 1908
and yet, despite the tremendous
increase in the last two years
many new ranches aud irrigated
areas-the sum paid in 1910 was
only $50,355, How it really affect
ed the small man in this county
and the same figures will apply
in every county in the state-he
quoted the figures on town lots
and improvements-S46,43O in 49,
0S and $44,15O in 1909. In his
speeches over the state, the gov
ernor will use these from the tax
rolls in the county in which he is
speaking.
The governor not only disputed
the Carey statement that the state
was bankrupt, but showed that on
Sept. 30, 1910, there WAS OIL de
post to the states credit the sum
1927, 228. 08-and none of the 1910
tax money yet received.
Quoting from the democratic
pyramid of figures, purporting to
illustrate the growth of state taxes
in ten years, he called attention
to their unfairness. He stated
that the total cost of state admin
istration in 1905, when he assum-
the Office, was $122,00O, the expen-
in 1910 was $194,000-an increase
in the six years of only $4,000.
He then summarized the various
sources OF state income other than
from taxation, showing that from
what democracy was quoting as
disbursements should be deducted
the various amounts paid to the
state for land rentals etc. He
gave the increase in land rentals
from $99, 754 in 1904 to 1865 ,SS7.
The bulk of this sum is from school
lands, and every dollar from this
source must GO to this school fund
The law is mandatory. Each
school child in the state in 1904
received 1888, while the same
number of children would now re-
ceive over 81 each. This is a part
of the disbursement democracy

The Court.


Life and liberty, the carriage Of
the law in requiJing the injured,
and in conserving the safety Of
society, is pending in unusual mag
nitude at the present term Of the
Monroe county court. Seldom has
the State docket carried indict-
ments for graver offenses, nor has
public interest been more oXpectant
as to What the court will do in dis
pensing liberty or condemnation
to the accused. Justice, if melted
out with unerring judgement and
unbiased conscience is certain But.
when the machinery Of q court
grinds it out contending with the
imperfections Of juries. the persua-
sions Of oratory and the influences
of prejudice, it often miscarries.
None may accuse the court, il in
their opinion justice fails, for the
court is the arm Of the law-the
institution that conserves protection
of the lives, liberties and property
of the people. If it fails occasional
lily, it is the exception, not the rule.
The fault lies in biassed public SEN
timent, shaped through motive tC
wrongfully acquit or avenge.
The court convened Monday
Hon. J. II. Mitchell presiding

Jones and Deputies, and Circuit

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
f1amation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;

Civic Enterprise

Nothing contributes more to at
tracing attention to town, or to
the reputation for culture Of its cit
liens, than copious display of civic
enterprise. The appearance of the
streets and residence and business
properties. indicate with exactness,
the aesthetic tastes Of the owners,
and commend them for calture, or
condemn them for want of it, as the
case may be.
Civic pride is the prerequisite of
civic enterprise. Without the one

The people Of Aberdeen have civic
pride that needs to be moved.

places in the city are unsightly, and

on by a little grading, a coat OF
whitewash, or paint, or the driving
Of a few nails. The Mayor auC

civic improvement by planting shad,
trees along all the residence streets
