method they have of reaching
anyone. They have no use for

J. NJ. Staley was chairman of
the committee on permanent or
ganization and order of business
and in response to the call of the
clerk for this committees report,
arose with fine dignity and peeped
thusly: I'VE recommend the or
ganization be made permanent"
and guilty sit down. Now the
convention was in progress. and
we proceeded to the election of
delegates.
The following delegates were
elected: B. D. Piatt, Cheyenne

to be seen. All the delegates

unable to attend.
There being no other business

adjourns, and now is there come
upon us the ecstatic of joy. The
enemies of the only paper in the

weak and harmless missile at the
foundation and principles of the

Cheyenne County Taxes
Nearly 100000

Nearly 100000
Why are the taxes of Cheyenne
county nearly 500, 600? Because
it is getting harder every year
for the grafters to get enough
out of it to satisfy them, and at
the same time, cough up enough
Of the necessary amount of petty
Doodle to bribe a sufficient number
of bribe takers whose votes are
necessary to keep them in a posi-
ton to continue these practices.
Cement bridges have to be built
on roads that are never travelled
and railroad crossings have to
be made at places where there
is never any travel.
But these things have to be
done. Somebody needs the
money. and if you will look over
the warrants you will most likely
find that this money goes to
people who are for the gang, or
to people the gang expects to use.
Not every man engaged to do
this work can be corrupted but
before he is given the work, it's
a cinch they intend to try it.

HOME RULE BILL
GETS ADDITIONS
Opposition to the Measure

Practically Exhausted.

London, May 22.-Things are not
going very we'll with the opponents
of Irish home rule. The question no
longer really interests the English
people, who refuse to believe that the
granting of the desire of the patriots
of Ireland would be a fatal blow to
the welfare of the British empire. The
voters are no longer as easy to mis-
lead as they were in the past. and the
younger generation are we'll aware
that the federal principle is working
smoothly among other great nations.
There is. indeed, something that re-
minds one of the stone age in the
present phase of the resistance of
home rule. Argument Is practically
exhausted. The fires of race and re-
ligious hatred burn very low and do
not respond even to the most energetic
stoking. But the prophets of the old
time still go on calling on their gods
and gashing themselves with knives,
though they are convinced that their
cause is lost and that it would be
much more sensible to submit to the
inevitable They doubtless will even
tually do so when they think they
without dishonor. The Tory obstruc-
tionists in the path OF home rule will
not be able to resist any more speeches

1T is as much of crime to kill a

the probable disposition of the Lori

Of plans for determined effort to
postpone the vote until the next ses-
sion of congress. Such move
would be warmly fought nv anti
Lorimer senator's. A probable delay,
for time at least. was foreshadow-
ed by developments growing out Of
Senator Loriner's illness in Chicago.
He telegraphed an appeal to have
the determination of a date for a vote
deferred until he could reach WASH
ington. coupling that with the state
ment that his physician would not
agree to his leaving home at this
time.
Senator I.orimer is recovering from
combined grippe and bronchitis, with
heart irregularity that has aroused
some concern among his friends. His
physician. DR.. s. r. Slaymaker. has
told some of the senator's friends
that Mr.. Lorimer might be able to
leave his home within a month.

Judge Carpenter refused to permit
William Klefisch to plead to charges
of violation Of the postal laws today
because he was minor.
Klefisch was arrested while attempt.

bank certificates several days ago.
He was ready to plead when the
court interrupted proceedings by ask
ing: 'How old are you?"
Seventeen years." replied the boy.
This lad will not be permitted to
plead here now." said Judge Carpen-
ter. II would like to have the district
attorney get in touch with the Juvenile
court judge and see if he will assume
charge of this youth. There is no
federal juvenile act. There ought to
be one. I do not think 1t right to
make minor answerable to the same
punishment as If he were Of age.'
