Wonder If Little Ben" Lindsey
is itching to run for governor
again? 1t seems to us that the
dose he got some three and half
years ago when he ran on an in
dependent ticket and when he pol
led a smaller vote than the social
list candidate, would have cured him
completely. Little Ben is alright in
many ways but the trouble is that
in late years he has come to believe
that he is the Moses to lead the
people away from 1.-The Beast" and
out of 1.-THE Jungle" and that in
order to do this he must throw
slime at the states reputation in
the magazines at SO much per line
and must get himself into a high of
flee. Little Ben has tried both
the democratic and republican par
ties and somehow couldn't persuade
these parties to let him into the
governors chair. Then he tried the
Independent field and that was the
saddest blow of all. and now he is

liens party with his eye still on

The complaining company had

STATE BOARD is WITHOUT POW
Err
Supreme Court Holds There Is No
PenaIty for Failure To Zip
Diseased CssLtle

The state board of stock inspec-
ion was given jolt in the su-
preme court this morning. when the
court handed down an opinion de-
claIing that body had no right to
impose a penalty for failure to com
ply with its rules forcing .cattlemen
10 dip or spray diseased stock.
Seizure of cattle known to be dis
eased and the declaration that
stock is diseased are considered
within the power of the board. but
the board is declared without au-
thority to infiict or have punish
ment infnoted on any person dis
regarding the regulation.
This decision was handed down
in the case of William Lange OF
Cheyenne county, who was arrest
ed at the instance OF the state
board OF stock inspection after his
open defiance of the order. He ad-
mitted that his stock was dis
eased, and went into court with the
declaration that the law empower
Ing the board to have him punish
ed was unconstitutional as his sole
defense. He insisted that the act
of 1898 giving the board authority
to prosecute was made invalid by a
prior law which had never been re-
pealed.
The district court at Cheyenne
Wells discharged Lange. and then
the case was taken before the high
err court on behalf of the board
The lower court held that the
stock OF LANCE was subject to seiz-
ure only.
The opinion declares the legisla'
ture was within the scope of its
authority in giving the board pow
er to regulate and restrict disease
among cattle and sheep: that the
board was an auxiliary to 1.-THE state
government, but that under the old
act the authority did not extend to
inflicting punishment
This case is of great importance
to the cattlemen of the state. and
IL is believed now that large sec
ton of Colorado Is left liable to
quarantine by the federal govern
ment. The Washington authorities
have kept hands off in the stock
