A man who will deliberately
sell his vote, receive therefor a
stipulation in dollars and cents,
will for a sufficient sum of money
apply the torch to your dwelling,
barn or store; he can be bribed
to poison your stock or even your
family; for dollars and cents he
will bear false witness against
you and swear your life OF your
liberty away. The vote seller is
a dangerous person who ought
not be allowed to exercise the
right of suffrage. If a manic?
barriers his sacred right of suf-
frage he ought to be fined heavi-
ly, sent to Jail and disfranchised
forever. The elective franchise
is too sacred a thing to be bought

goes as far and counts as mucl

HEAR AND HEED,

Below you will find a warning
from the Game and Fish Warden
of Morgan county, which is both
timely and good. The reckless,
almost wanton, destruction Of
fish and game in Kentucky has
depleted our fields, forests and
streams to the extent that the
sport to be had is no longer
worth while, Time was when
game was plentiful and fish were
to be had for the taking. That
time is no more, but if the Off
GERS, whose duty it is to see that
the law is enforced, are dilligent
in the discharge of their duty
that time will come again.
If every good citizen will aid
the wardens in running down
the violators of the laws and fur
nish willingly and freely any in
formation they may possess that
will lead to arrest and conviction,
we may yet live to see the day
when Kentucky will again fur
nish true sport for the true
sportsman.
The COURIER suggests that the
the Wardens organize, or cause
to be organized, fish and game
protection clubs in all parts Of
the county and in this way awak-
en- the people to a sense of theil
duty:

Quit "Monkeyine" with the University.

The University of Wyoming is just as much a state institution as
the capitol, penitentary, insane asylum OF the general hospitals.
AS a rule the states in the American union boast a great deal
more about their colleges and universities than they do about their
insane asylums and infrmaries, and yet in Wyoming every two years
the board of trustees of the state university has to spend forty days
fighting for the very existence of the institution.
The legislature has come to treat it as an appendage, an excres-
cence an encumbrance, instead of a training school for the develop.
ment and education for young men and young women.
The university at this time has one of the ablest college men for
president to be found in the entire country, but he must face a spirit
of indifference and antagonism against the school.
With a settled policy on the part of the state toward the institu
ton there Is no reason why it should not take rank with the state un-
iversites of the west. There is only one way to do it and that is by
making a definite and fixed levy for its support which will be opera
tive every year and thus eliminate this biennial fight.
The institution is asking for a half mill out of which it agrees to
pay all operating expenses not supplied by the federal government
and from the excess erect new buildings as needed. A growing
university requires new buildings from time to time just as a grow
ing city must add school houses as its population encreases.
"A half mill is the same lsvy the university had in 1911 and 1912

Wyoming.

We are unable to reason out just why the game and fish laws have
tie be tempered with at every session of the legislature, especially to
the detriment of Wyoming. The past few days Colorado and other
western states have flooded the nation with dispatches about the fish
license law being enacted In this state. They misrepresented the facts
in every particular and have given the information out that Wyoming
has practically put a stop to fishing.
Who should any representative to the legislature want to put the
state to the bad on a question like this. Even if none of the bills
now pending become laws-which they undoubtedly wont-the fact
that they have been introduced is grounds enough for the adjoining
states to make detrimental matter out of, and stop thousands of dol
lars from coming into this state in the next season. Fishing in Wyo.
has been one of the big drawing cards and has not only brought
thousands and thousands of dollars into this state but has done more
than any thing else TO settle up the state. A man comes into Wyom-
ing to fish thinking that that is all ii good for During his sojourn
here he finds out something about the state in a number of different
ways, and while he may not come and settle he recommends such and
such locality to some friend who is looking for a location. There is
a thousand and one things why the fishing laws of this state ar all
right as they are.
