the same perfectly good steam roller applied to him in Chicago, last
spring, Ted. was pretty mad, fol- a man who had been the whole show.
Down In the bottom OF Teds heart he was lore enough to jeperdise
the Nation in order that he get even. And that is just what he did.
He was going to defeat the q. O. F. if it was the last act of his life,
so he got up and formed the big Bull Moose ticket and, says he, 1
defeat Taft and the Republican ticket, because 1 can cut the Repuli-

Wilson. He never could have been elected in the world if Teddy

The Western Fighter.

Listen Did you hear what Congressman aKindle of Colorado
said !? He said if Mr.. Mondell of Wyoming, doesn't let up on the
tariff matters and let the democrats ruin the western industries, that
Wyoming would retire Mr.. Mondell. Who would have thunk it.
Just to think that Colorado is going to tell Wyoming what to do and
what not to do. Touching indeed, MI. Mondeu, according to our
Colorado delegation in Congress, has no right to fight for the west
and to fight as the people of Wyoming have directed We will bet
what little we have left, that MI. Mondell will not be retired in two
years and in four years, he will probably be the Speaker of Republi.
can House of Congress.
Mr.. Mondel is fighting as he never did before, for the western
industries, and may the All Mighty give him strength to show the
people the light of day, before it is to late, that we will avoid Slip

Who Holds the Joker.

This new amendment to the Federal Constitution means simply
that, in the deliberate opinion of the public, state legislatures are no
longer competent to discharge one of the important functions laid
upon them-namely, the election of United States senators.
Every winter state Legislatures scandalously fail to meet the needs
of their states in other respects. The lesson will sink in by and by,
and there will be some constitutional amendments reconstructing the
Legislatures themselves. 1t was Oklahoma, we believe that hastily
adopted a Joliet of laws, and presently discovered that her statute
books were adorned with an act regulating harbors and wharves for
ocean going vessels-a statute that, with others, was borrowed bodily
from Texas. That was considered a joke-as was the duly adopted
amendment to Kansas automobile law, requiring that all political
machines operated on the highways of the state be provided with life.

The real joke in both cases, however, was the legislature itself
Taking it by and large, regulating seaports in Oklahoma and the oper-
ton of political machines in Kansas is about as near as the average
legislature comes to meeting the real needs of its state. Considering
it's construction and membership, it could not come much nearer
