A Serious Mistake.

One Of the most important
resons why the clerk OF court
should not be made registrar
of voters is found in the Le-
gislative act creating the
Office Of registrar. This act
states that the registrar shall
be Ineligible to become a can
didate for any elective office
unless he first resigns his Of
zee three months r,ior to his
appearance as a candidate be-
fore the people, his successor
to be appointed by the COVER
nor.
Therefore every clerk OF
court who either wishes to
succeed himself or to become
a candidate for any other
Office, must resign his office
three months before the pri
mary election.
This creates the possibility
|Lf every clerk Of court in the
State being appointed by the
governor, which means the
building of a most powerful
machine, most powerful be
cause it is built brand. new
| Just at the time when it is
needed, and therefore needs
O oiling whatever.
This serious mistake of,the
recent Legislature should be
corrected by the special seq
sion soon to be called by
abolishing the act creating
the office of registrar, which
lit is said was overlooked.-

1--WE have got into trouble

large things, which ought to

Der Of persons as possible,
have in fact too often been
handled in private conference
No group Of directors, econ

Cur difficulty isnot that de-
men have plotted
against us, but that our com
mon affairs have been deter
mined upon too narrow aud
by too private an initiative
Our task issto effect a great
readjustmenf and get the
whole forces Of the people
once more into play. Wei

no excited change; we need
only a new point of view and
a new method of counsel. y

Lot Us Have An End Of Muck Rakins

The Sun is in receipt from Sheridan Downey, of Laramie, of a
democratic campaign document which he asks us to print. lnas-
much as the article covers 7 pages of typewriter legal cap it will not
be convenient for the Sun to handle it, ever were we in the habit OF
printing democratic campaign matter. There is absolutely nothing
new in the article. 1t is a rs-hash of all the Tommy rot that has been
circulated about Senator Warren, time and time again, during the
past ten or fifteen years, and 8 30 putrid that it isl wonder that the
post Office officials ever permitted it to go thru the mails. If any
difference, however, MI. Downey has made it just a little more libel
lous and disgusting than any of his predecessors, and the Lurd knows
they did some remarkable stunts with the material they had at hand.
The Sun does not see how a man can write such stuff al that and
then 20 out and walk along the streets and face people. If those
things said about Senator Warren we're true, then Senator Warren
should be in the penitentary. If they are false, then the man who
stoops 30 low as to pen and circulate them has committed a libel and
should be made to suffer.
The people are getting tired of this undertaking business. 1t
matters not how clean and upright his life may be, nor how free from
blame his public course has been, if his place is wanted by the oppo-
siiion, charges are trumped up, spread aboard as facts and the work of
character assassination is kept up until the man is pushed to the wall
if it is possible. A man may refute these charges and show they
are absolutely untrue, but that does not mean that they will not be
brot up against him again and again, just 30 often as there is a &c
casion for his enemies to get the public ear. But the people of
Wyoming are not going to be deceived by Mr.. Downeyls article any
more than they have been by others that have proceeded it. In
fact this attacks Is quite likely by it's very virulence to turn the tide
of public sympathy toward Mr.. Warren.

1t will be seen by reference to an article on the front page of the
Sun that provision has been made by the stockholders of the Carbon
County Fair Association to redeem the property and this will enable
the board of directors to go ahead and make provisions for a Fair
which will be probably be held in September. The people OF the

that one of the best things that ever happened in the entire country

Iii s rumored that Sheridan Downey is looking for the nomina-
ton for congress on the democratic ticket this fall. Perhaps the
statement Just sent out will be the basis upon Which he will found his
campaing. The whole of the campaign made by the democratic
party for 1910 as well as former campaigns, was entirely based on lies
and Misrepresentation and we can see no reason why Mr.. 'Downey
should depart from the usual democratic custom should he secure the
nomination.

IDEAL CITY Or TOWN.
Tho Main Point Is to Try to Please
the People,


The ideal city or town should be laid

public buildings, schools, colleges.

the matter of the distribution Of parks
and parkways requires judiciouS con

In Cassicr's Magazine All OF the
above should be located in such rcla-
tiOn TO each other and the surround
ings as 10 provide the people with the
safest. most convenient and most sat
isfying accommodations and at the
same time present II highly pleasing
and artistic appearance.
The large parks should be in the
outskirts and should bc left in as nat
ural n state as practicable with their
native forest trees. Such paths and
lanes as are required, with their
bridges, resting hooks, etc. should be
judiciously treated To conform as far
as possible with the natural surround
ings. The parks throughout the body
of the city, instead of being large and
few In number. should be of medium
size, plentiful, we'll distributed and
connected. together with numerous
parkways of liberal width. This ar.
rangement would give all parts of the
city convenient access TO the park
spaces, which, being thus arranged in
a continuous system. could, when once
entered. be traversed throughout with
