There is nothing more disgusting
ly hypocritical than the attitude of
some papers that constantly crfti-
else and malign man in public life
and as soon as he is claimed by
death, to eulogize him and tell what
really great, good man he was.
This has been very noticeable in
the death of the late Thomas j. Nc
Cue. Some of the papers during his
life time, could not think of anything
too mean to say about him. Now
that he has passed away, and can
not hear the true and beautiful tri-
butes paid him by these papers, the
praise of the man and his noble
character is most fulsome.

Welcome the College Farmer.

When a young fellow has finished an
agricultural college course and returns
to take up his work on the old farm,
give him the right hand Of fellowship.
More than one bright young man has
been discouraged and sent away from
the farm by some relative or family
friend interfering with his business
and leading the old folks to believe
that he was going wrong. Though he
may not tell you 80. In words. the
young fellow has come home with the
intention Of making the old farm the
best place on earth. Such q young

the boys initiative. Give him a show
to work out his ideas.-Philadelph

Now that fishermen are required
to pay license to enjoy this fine
sport, would it be any more than
right that they should expect a it-
tie benefit through the expenditure
of this money by the state game
and fish department? The public
streams should net only be heavily
stocked, but the department should
see to it that the pleasure is aug
mented wherever possible. In Boul-
der park, the playground of innumer'
able fishermen, the stream rs not
sufficiently stocked and only in plac'
es can be fished, owing to the nu-
merous beaver dams that cause the
water to back up and flood the land.
II the state will protect the beav-
ers, which only furnish expensive
furs for the rich, the least consider
alton that could be shown fishermen
would be to keep these dams torn
out during the fishing season. SO

Judge Lewis, of the federal court
denied the application of the Union
Pacific railroad company for tenn
porary injunction, restraining treasur-
ers of Lincoln, Weld and Ebert cCun-
ties from collecting taxes charged
against that road under the 1912 as
sessment. AT the same time he an
nounced that he was not going to
issue any more injunctions restrain
ing county treasurers from collect
ing taxes due by reason of assess

compelling the railroads TO pay their
taxes under protest with the hope
of getting the money back in the
future If the payment is exorbit-
ant. During the past three years all
taxes have been tied up in several
of the counties of the state through
federal injunction. No sooner had
Judge Lewis made the announcement
that the attorneys of both sides

taxes not in dispute and that these

THE oLo-rIME PRINTER

Many will remember the old-time
printer, that genial, versatile prince,
who regarded the world as his pri-
vate park and strolled through 1t at
will. Sometimes he was broke, but
he could mix medicine, and Midas
had nothing en- him in the matter of
touch. Sometimes in correct attire,
he graced the banquet board and par
took of the richest and the choicest
fruits of the earth, and sometimes,
clad in the habiliments of the hobo,
he ate gumpmulligan by the lonely
roadside. Sometimes he sang, and
sometimes he preached. Sometimes
he dreamed, sometimes he drank,
and sometimes he did both. Some
times, with one foot on the railing
he GRATED, and sometimes he sat in
council with the wisest and mSghtiest
of the land. Sometimes he sat on
high stool and smoked cob pipe
while he corrected a bad galley in
the still watches of the night. But,
as memories of him come down to
uss through the mellowing influen-
ces of time, we forgive him the many
swear WORDS he used when he bow
ed to the proofreaders dictum and
made summer time two words ami
wintertime one word. Incidentally
Webster calls proof reader two
words. The old-time printer called
him more words than that.-Joe NJ.

Recognition of the fact that auto

modern life of man is coming fast.
The latest evidence of the belief
thai travel by auto is fixed habit

States Telephone & Telegraph Co.,

of the Rocky Mountain region with
its wires. This ccmapny has notifi-
ed all of its exchanges to supply ac-
curate information of the condition
of the roads to all travellers by
auto, who may inquire. The inten-
tion is to enable the public to avoid
bad roads and keep to the highways
best adapted to travel. This .nfor-

Idea Is Man Made.

The idea Of capital punishment,
or solitary confinement for life, is
made and monstrous.
The idea of flogging, or claiming
in dungeons, belongs to the Dark
Ages.
Gradually the world is coming
into a realization that breakers OF
law and doors of evil deeds are in
valids, needing treatment. Sin and
crime are the result Of unbalanced
minds and wrong development OF
brain cells.
Some day the great dream OF
DR.. Elmer Gates will come true,
and there will be extensive scien-
tifc institutions throughout the
land, with great and good men to
take charge Of them and TO train
and guide the sin-sicll souls. who
will he sent TO these educational
resorts instead Of TO the death
chamber or the life imprisonment
cell. And by every possible scien-
tific method of brain building Ga
science just in its infancy the i'm
morality will be atrophied, and the
moral. useful. constructive quail
ties Of the brain VIII be deyel-
oped.
And punishment will consist
simply in patient, systematic edu-
cation. Not the education Of our
present day colleges. but the edu-
cation which comes from right
thinking, right use Of every brain
cell
Women are supposed TO be op-
posed 70 the idea Of punishment.
but observation does not prove this
trait 10 be absolutely feminine.
The women who believe they are
capable OF loving in the fullest
sense of that word are many. the
women who really know what it IS
TO love are few.
Neglected wives who talk 10 their
