All Wrong From q Democratic Standpoint

We find democratic newspapers in Wyoming preaching long and
earnest sermons o the subject of public buildings in general and in
Wyoming in particular. The great moral lesson to be taught bv
these discourses is the appalling sinfulness of securing, under federal
statues and by acts of congress, useful and beautiful structures for the
business purposes of the government located in the several cities and
towns of this new and growing state.
In dealing with this subject these same democratic newspapers
profess to see room for criticism of Senator Warren, Senator Clark
and representative Mondel. for having been active in these al we'll as
as other matters OF interest and for the benefit of the people of Wyo-
ming, They hint at tressons, stratagems and spds and other
crimes and ohenses of varying degrees, calibres and magntudes for
thus securing for the people in the line of their duty as representatives
OF the people, the things that belong to the people and for which they
pay. The greatest wrong these representatives do is in securing these
of Wyoming, instead of for the people of other states, whose represen.
tatives lack the initiative and ability to serve their people with al
equal capacity to that possessed and exercised by the Wyoming e
representatives..
From a democratic stand point it is all wrong, but it is only wrong
because these things spoken of are accomplished by Messrs. Warren
CLARK n Mondel, republicans 1t would not be wrong if the
|damocratlc party had men in congress doing these things. Tn.
fortunately they do not have them and therefore they must howl and
pretend to see dark crimes committed somewhere, just where, thew
do not know; and to promise the people that the saints of their party
If only chosen, will be guitless Of such acts a have added to the up.
building of Wyoming cities performed by republican members of con-
gress.
In this. they will be right for once, for who knows of three nan
beers of the democratic party of Wyoming who can 90 down to Wash.
lngton and with several terms experience uphold the prestige of the
state, built by the men who IRE at present representing the neonIe NJ
the Nations capital?
Then this twaddle of democratic newspaper sis twaddle pure and
simple. 1t is simply democrats on the outside, wanting TO pet On
the inside, and that is the gist of it.
How long, pray, would the democrats, themselves, keen ,ro.
ducers in congress?-Sheridan Post.

Professor Greater and The New Education

follow the inclination of the boy
or girl, with the view of being of
practical use to them in their fu-
ture lives.
The Professors ideas are prac-
tical and are the views beginning
to be held by all practical educa-
tional men of the day. Our col
lege men are beginning to see that
the time given to teaching a boy,
who expects to be a farmer, Latin
and Greek and the higher math-
ematics, is lost. Leave Latin and
Greek to those scholars who expect
to follow professions like law, or
the arts and sciences, and give
the boy who is to follow the COM
mon pursuits what will be of use
to him in the battle OF life.
Professor Creager also criticised
the man who complains about the
money he has to pay out for educ
ational purpose. He mentioned
the fact that the people of the
United States are paying five times
as III UGH for beer and whiskey as
they are for educational purposes,
and said that the man who would
growl and kick, if an extra mill
was placed on his taxes, would
think nothing of spending from
so cents to u dollar a week for Gig.

Swat the Endless Chain" Letters

A number of Basin people have during the past few months re-
,a;ved q so.cslled "prayer" with instructions to make nine copies and
sand to friends. The communication states that dire results will
follow failure to comply with the request. Although the federal
officials are working hard to find the origin OF the chain, they have
o., for NET with success a 8 the communications are always RE-
ceiyed unsigned. A great many people who have received the slips
and have had small mifortunes have no doubt laid their in-luck to
their faIure t., comply with the request made. The department
frowns unon such endless chain pratices and those who receive such
foolish requests should pay no attention to them whatever. The
originator of the scheme probably intended the prayer d a joke or
hoax upon some friend and the thing has now assumed large pro.

Loaded With Horse Sense

Once in a while a court decision is loaded with horse sence as
well az law, T. Roosevelt to the contrary notwithstanding. A man
in Kansas kept a fool dog that ran out and barked at passing teams.
One day it scared a horse which ran away and seriously injured the
driver. The latter brought suit for damages against the dog owner
and was awarded a substantial SUN. The case was carried to the
supreme court, and that august tribunal sustained the lower court,
holding that the man who keeps a savage or barking dog is responsible
for any trouble it causes-Buffalo Voice.

RESTRICT THE POWERS OF
 INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
Secretary of Commerce and Labor Ma
 gel Makes Recommendation.


 Washington. Dec. 15-Charles Ma gel, secretary of commerce and labor. would sharply define and restrict the powers and discretion of the proposed federal commission to regulate indus trial corporations. In his annual re- port submitted to President Taft yes terday, the secretary opposes the en- dowment of such a commission, 1T finally created by congress, with far reaching powers equal to those eXer- cised by the interstate commerce com mission over railroads. He disapproves the suggestion that the commission have authority to fix prices of com- modities.
 The salient features of Secretary NagePs report are as follows:
 Powers of the proposed commission to regulate big business should be well defined and restricted.
 Opposes giving such commission au- thoritv similar to that of interstate commerce commission. It should not be empowered to fix prices.
 Self-regulation of business, to great est extent consistent with public vel fare, should be guiding principle of legislation.
 Corporations should be compelled to make automatic reports regarding cap italizat ton, profits, controlling inter- ests, etc.
 Bureau of corporations should assist federal courts 1 nreorganizing concerns dissolved under Sherman antitrust law.
 Approves an international conference to secure greater safety of life at ca, and raises question whether United States government should take over all seacoast wireless stations.

proof that he understood and fulfilled the highest object of his mission and his duty in securing closer friendship between them.
 ''The secret of his success is simple. He knew both countries well, and while absolutely true and loyal to his own, he never found that loyalty incompati- ble with profound respect and love for England. He abundantly upheld the great traditions of the position, which a long array of statesmen. eminent for their ambitions, renowned for their literary gifts and distinguished for their social charm, have rendered H. lustrious, and in his unwearying and tactfui labors he was ever aided by the lady In whose sorrow England and America condole today"

 "Vienna having seen her traditional programme of gradually extending through the BTlkan states to Saloniki completely wrecked, she has tried to counterbalance the bad effect it has had at home by clamoring that Alba mia msIst be autonomous, according to the Austro Italian agreement conclud- en in 1907.

A Fatal Trip in
 Hydro-Aerop|ane
AVIATOR AND NEWSPAPER MAN
 PROBABLY DROWNED.
A PoNTooN PICKED UP
Believed to Have Been Wrsnched Off Machine by Rough Sea-Fruitlsss Search of Thirty Hours for Men.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 15.-Horace Kearny, the young Kansas City avia- tor, attempting a hydro -aeroplane flight from Los Angeles to San Fran cisco, is believed to have been drown ed, together with Chester Lawrence. a Los Angeles neWspaperman, who was accompanying him on the trip.
 Pontoon of Machine Found.
 A pontoon of the hydro-aeroplane "Snookums'' was picked up late today in the Pacific ocean by a motor boat off Rodondo Beach and lowed into Santa Monica by party of fishermen. Thirty hours continuous search for Kearny and Lawrence was without re- suit except that Glenn H. Martin, a fellow aviator. nearly met ,Kearny' S fate while attempting to alight on the waves off Point Mugu. where he was seeking the missing men.
 Gearny Predicted His Death.
 Efforts at organized search have for the time being been abandoned Charles Day. who built Kearny's ma chine, went down to Santa Monica and looked at the pontoon. He identified it as the one he had put on the Shook ums," remarking that Karnny had of ten said death would catch him while flying.
 Rough Sea Wrenched Of Pontoon.
 Engine trouble, Day said. probably drove the men to the surface of the sea, which, smooth for months at Q time. had been agitated for three days by a thirty mile gale. A swell, Day believes, wrenched off the pontoon which has been recovered. This un- balanced the machine and probably threw the men into the water or drag ged them down in a sudden overturn.
 Glenn Martin in a fruitless effort to find the missing men flew from Sa1 Pedro today, carrying Frank s. Gar butt, secretary of the Los Angeles A c. They were followed by Garbutt's power launch. Forty miles up the coast Martin flew while Garbutt searched the waves with powerful glasses.
 Aviator Martins Narrow Escape.
 At Point Mugu Martin. as had beer agreed, alighted on the water and re- plenished his gasoline supply from the power launch, but attempting to rise found that the waves would not lei him. The launch took the aircraft 1T tow and headed back for San Pedro harbor, near the breal1water ran ou of fuel and rolled helpiessly about un' til rescued. The aeroplane was wreck. ed and but for the aid of the launcf Martin and Garbutt must have beer drowned when they alighted.
