H HASH GRINDER.

Following the blare Of many trum-
pets Golfers has at last come forth
with their highly sensational article
concerning Senator Warren. For
these many days we have waited with
Impotence the wonderful revelations
this great hash grinder would produce.
and, behold, we find nothing that
would even surprise a citizen of our
state. Every statement made In the
al ncle is simply a re-hash of the
charges that have been made in the
campaigns of the past and which have
been successfully me by Senator War
rem. If this disciple of yellow Jour
nalism can find nothing with which to
attack Senator Warren but a lot of
utilization that has been used as cam

RIDICULOUS COMPARISON.

When they get to comparing Ken
drick with Lincoln 1t is about time to
quit.
The Laramie County Times. in try
ing to answer the argument that Ken
drick lacks experience. cites the case
Of Abraham Lincoln, who the Times
says, went to the White House and
made the greatest president the Re-
public has ever known"
Mr.. Lincoln was a national charac-
ter for a long time before he became
president. not only through his serv-
ice as a member of the house of rep
resentatives. but through his great de-
bates with Mr.. Douglas In the contest
for the ~senatorship from Illinois.
And 1t might be well to remind the
Times that the abuse of MI. Lincoln
by the Democratic papers of his day
was about the same as that being in
dulged in by the Kendrick newspapers
against Senator Warren.

coLLiEn's

Did 1t ever occur to your mind, gen
tie reader AND residents Of wyoming,
that the great Golfers Weekly had a
good big crouch on it's editorial stom.
ach that may somewhat or In some
way account for the low down, un-
founded attacks 1t Is. from time to
time. publishing against our Senator
Warren? Now you see the Golfers is
published in the great big city of New
York in the great big state Of New
York. When you think for a moment
and realize the great financial and
commercial position, both at home and
abroad and compare 1t with our wild
and woolly Wyoming. with its compar-
atively small position In regard to
wealth n commerce, and consider
for a moment, this fact, that Wyom-
ing would be lost in one of the wards
Of New York city. then take a look
into the United States Senate chamber
at Washington and note the fact that
Wyoming's two senators are recog-
nized by chairmanships Of the two
o important committees in that
great body, while little. old, big New
York senators don't seem to have any
thing very much. Now wouldn't that
naturally stir up a crouch with the
editorial management of the Golfers?
Senator Warren is about to be re-
turned for another term and it's ter
rible for Golfers contemplation.
When the Golfers first started sew
eral years g as an up-to-date pic
torial standard magazine 1t aped the
English 80 strongly don'tcherno that
many of its American readers quit.
Then 1t took a tumble to itself and
reformed along hat line. Now II
wants to be a beacon light Of politics
enlightening the world. and has
turned on the search light away GRO
the land to Wyoming and thinks 1t has
made a horrible find and at once
opens up its long range guns with the
much mistaken idea that 1t can shoot
Senator Warren off his senatorial ped
estal. Alas. vain-hope. We feel to ad-
monish our Collier friends that Wyo-
ming a manage her own politics and

the supporters Of Senator Warren,

NOT UP TO USUAL STANDARD.

The undertaking article promised
for some time by Golfers has at last
appeared. 1t is rather disappointing
to those who had anticipated that Sen
ator Warren would be literally wiped
off the face of the earth. In its
charges it goes back into ancient his
tory and trots forth all the old un-
truths that have been peddled about
for forty years. In the very beginning
the writer alleges that Senator War
rem was a business failure up to the
time he entered the United States SEN
ate, a falsehood known to every Wy
oming citizen. No man in the state
was endowed with better business
ability from the very beginning Of his
residence in Wyoming than Senator
Warren. His enterprises were uni
formly successful up to the Democrat
ic panic of 1893, when the stoutest
hearts and the very best business abil-
ity were put to the test. He was n
of the frs. to recuperate after that
period of democracy and devastation,
says the Laramie Republican.
Following up this patent falsehood.
the Collier writer does not flag in pre-
v~arication to the very end. but the
article is pitiably devoid of new mat
ter. and simply reiterates the refuted
charges made prior to the senatorial
campaign of six years ago.
II this stuff is the best that Coli
ers or Kendrick or the governor a
bring forth, they had just as well quit.
All of 1t was rehashed by Sheridan
Downey and in the face of that vii
famous article the people Of the state
stood by the senator by a vote that
simply distanced the aspirant from the
north. There must be more than the
unsavory reputation Of Golfers be-
hind these old exploded rehashes to
make the people of Wyoming take
stock in them.-Riverton Republican.

TELL US WHY
We want to know some things.

We want to know some things.
In the first place, we want to know
about those reported millions of John
B. Kendrick? Has he really got mil
lions and is he actually buying up
newspapers and distributing a keg of
he. long green for use in his campaign
for United States senator? He is also
reputed to be the largest owner of
government lands in Montana and Wy
oming and to have numerous herds of
white faces and other bovines. Today
he subscribes himself a citizen of Wy
oming and yesterday he is caught seek
ing valuable land leases in Montana
and, 1t being necessary to be a citizen
Of that commonwealth to accomplish
his purpose, he files %sffidavits of resi-
dence there. Moreover and worse. he
came to Wyoming in the guise of n
poor COW puncher and under the pro-
lection of the Republican party and
Senator Warren amassed all these mil
lions. Did he and his he. and then
is he. possessor of all these millions
and buyer of newspapers and distribu-
tor of campaign moneys; and all to
down the Republican party and Sena-
tor Warren-the two greatest assets
he has had? Or is it that because he
has made these millions and has tired
of the ranch life and wants to mount
the political throne that he forgets
honor, decency and even gratitude and
turns his old friends over to the mercy
Of such as control the destinies Of a
Cheyenne Leader?
Then there is the Bull Moose and
his struggling crew. with Governor
Carey self-elected head. Who pays
the freight for the spasmodic signs of
life in that camp? There is Jack
Chenery. secretary again and erstwhile
candidate on the Republican ticket for
state senator. Jack has been coming
and going from Cheyenne to Lander
and from Lander to Riverton and Riv-
erton to Casper and back again to
Cheyenne-his territory. we guess
and all that takes a producer"
Where does it all come from and who
puts 1t up? Jack doesn't work for
nothing. neither does he run for office
Just to save the pee'pul. nor does he
change from Bull Moose to Republican
and back to Bull Moose again without
the proper signal. Won't you tell u
why?

being to compare the distance between

that he has been deputy assessor.
From all indications the race
for Prosecuting Attorney will
develop into q three cornered
one, with Bruce B. Terrell, A. G..
Mathews and j. T. Waldo as the
contestants. Messrs. Terrell
and Waldo have signifed their
intentions of becoming candi-
dates and Mr.. Mathews is bcing
doomed by friends, although me
has not as yet said that he will
become a candidate.
This year a member of the
County court is to be elected and
several men are mentioned for
the place. Will Johnson, Of Bull
River, 7. r. Stump, the present
incumbent and w. R. Stalnaker,
both of this place, and S. H. Viii
son, of Russell, have made
known to their friends that the,
will enter the race. This is ar
important Office and we are glaC
to hear such men as these spoken
of in connection with this Office.
Candidates for the House oil
Representative are rather scarce
although we understand that
friends of G. w. Hartman, oil
Lee district, are insisting that he
make the race. G. w. Hays is
also reported as having the legis,
lative bee buzzing in his bennett
and J. P. Knight, of Sheridan
district, is thinking of acceeding
to the demands of friends that
he enter the race.
We do not want our readers to
understand that all of the above
mentioned men are actual candi-
dates for the various Offices.
Some OF them are avowed candida
ties, but some are merely consider
ing the requests Of friends. With
such All abundance Of good mater
ial to choose from, the Democrats
will have no trouble in selecting
a winning ticket.

Three Youthful Burglars CAPTURED

Thursday, w. e. Powell, the
Arnoldsburg merchant, found
that a window stick was missing
from above one of the windows
of his store and that the screen
on the outside had been removed.
This, together with the fact that
some of the young boys of that
community were having an unus-
ual amount of spending money,
made him suspicious that his
store was being entered and
money taken from the drawer.
He left the window the way he
found it and watched the store.
Friday night Cary Parsons, 9
noted young gentleman of near
Arnoldsburg, was seen to enter
the store. He was Immediately
arrested and when questioned by
the officers implicated his young
er brother, Asa, and Willard
Swentzel, who also were taken
into custody. When brought be-
fore Justice Gamer, Saturday
morning, all three of the boys
confessed. When examined by
the justice they stated that they
had been entering the store al
night for several months and il
was their custom to take turr
about. They were held over t.
