sert the Sooy oyster Company is il
legally in possession of large areas of
state planting ground, has doomed up
with the fling Of proceedings in the
Court of Chancery to annul riparian
grants acquired by the company for
q nominal sum.
1t is asserted the Sooy Company has
spent more than $1,000,0O0 in develop

waged bitterly. The State will base
its case partly upon the claim that

If you have tried other things by the
score and will now try "GETS-IT,"
you will realize this glorious fact.
You probably are tired sticking on
tape that won't stay stuck, plasters
that shift themselves right onto your
corn, contraptions that make bum
die OF your toe and press right down
on the corn. Put two drops of
"GETS-IT" on that corn in two sec
onds. The corn is then doomed as
sure as night follows day. The corn
shrivels. There's no pain, no fuss.
If you think this sounds too good to
be true try it tonight on any corn
callus. wart or bunion.
"GETS-IT" is sold by druggists
everywhere, 25c bottle, or sent d.
rest by e. Lawrence & Co.. Chicago.

History will record the diff
culties by this government and
Mexico as the weakest and most
unenviable piece of diplomacy
ever charged to a leading gov
eminent. In the face of Pres
Wilson's pronunciamento that
Pres. Huerta would not be recog-
nized. and must abdicate and not
run for president, the three me-
diators have declared they could
not concede to. There we stand
only on the proposition that as a
usurper not recognized by US he
must as a sovereign power fire a
salute to our flag. 1t is simply a
travesty on international laws and
precedents. Huerta's refusal to
so salute resulted in our landing
a force at Vera Cruz and hold
it until such an irresponsible
usurper complies with our salute
demands. That alone is the ques-
ton the mediators have to settle,
and the probabilities are that
they will declare that no national
salute could be fired by a usurp-
err not recognized by the offend
ed government, and that being
so we were not warranted in TAX
ing the port at Vera Cruz, and
should withdraw from the terri
tory of a government which had
committed no offense. Then it
will be up to Pres. Wilson to take
another step.

Roosevelt seems eager to get
into politics since his South
American trip. There is no use
to deny the fact that he is the
most verile and we'll known man
in the United States. He is a
power in anything he engages in.
1t is apparent that he will fight
the Wilson administration to a
finish. Whether the two wings
of the republican party can am
icably settle the breach or not he
will be in the 1916 race. If it is
left to a primary he will get the
delegates from Maine to Florida.
With the nomination in that way
he will be invincible before the
general electorate, and the next
president.

Letter From Washington

May ~, 1914.
Editor Independent:
1t ought not to be necessary for a
writer to begin by saying that what
he is about to tell is the truth, but
the things | am going to say in this
letter are so extraordinary that some
readers may think it is piece of fc-
ton. Every word is true, and can be
proven by documents of the govern
ment, and by living witnesses, So
here goes.
Most McNairians remember that
in the good old days, some plants
grew in the woods which were fairly
common, but which have now disap-
peared almost completely. These
were golden seal Commonly called
yellow puccoon) and ginseng. Yellow
puccOon was known as remedy for
sore mouth, but ginseng was of no
particular value, only that used to
seek out the little four-pronged
stems with their clusters of five leaves
each, and pull up the root and eat it,
for it had an aromatic, pleasant fla
vor. We did not know it, but at that
time yellow puccoon was worth ten
cents per pound and ginseng so cents.
The ginseng was used only for export
to China, where it has for centuries
been used as a medicine for every i'll
that flesh is heir to.
On account of their growing value,
these plants became scarce, as they
were dug by hunters of roots. and the
price continued to rise, until the COM
mercial papers Of New York last
week gave the price of yellow puc-
eeea as S4.S5 to IS per pound, and

The word prohibition is not in
the democratic platform. The
word temperance is. Temper
ance implies a proper use of any,
thing. Prohibition means not
permitting it to be used at all.
Let prohibitionists catch the
point. Every saloon keeper de-
mands that his barkeepers shall
be temperate in the drinking
of the stuff he sells.

sale. 1t will cost about $3.50 an acre
to get them set out and perhaps $500
to get them six years old. The woods
mice are death on them, and | have to
put down fences of 18-inch slate to
keep them out. The plants are in
beds four feet wide, under the big
trees, where some sunshine gets to
them, but not much. | have sprayed
them with Pyrox for, the blight,
but there are other diseases, such as
root rot, which the spray will not
help. Agents of the government who
have been to my ginseng woods tell
me | have the finest plants they ever
saw, and they are going to publish
pictures of them, which they photo
graphed for that purpose. Many a
rich, shady, north-sloping hillside in
McNairy would turn out ginseng at
the rate of a ton to the acre Tin six
years. but Southern ginseng is not
worth as much as that grown in
Maryland or New York. | learned
much about the business while in New
York last summer. One man at
Fonda, N. Y. told me he had paid for
five farms out of ginseng. He has
seven acres, all under artificial sheds.
But have not told the big story
yet. Now comes that which some
readers might want NE to verify, but
| can do it.
The American ginseng. Panax quin-
quefolia of the botanies. came into
use because a similar species growing
in China, grew so scarce as to be out
of reach of tho common herd. | have
seen some of the genuine Chinese
ginseng, and it is almost worth it's
weight in precions stones. The gin
seng of Korea, of which | have some
plants growing, sells at from $50 to
1915 per pound, the latter price hav-
ing been paid at Hong Kong, China,
last year for wild Korean root. But
the genuine Chinese or Monaghan
! ginseng (called the ImperiaD sells at
from 800 to $500 an ounce! Three
weeks ago | had some business with
Mr.. G. G. Medzikhoffski. commercial
attache of the Russian Embassy, and
he showed me about two ounces of
Monaghan ginseng which he said
came from Vladivostok, and for
which he paid 400 rubles, or about
5000. He gave me little taste of it
worth about So and its taste was
sweeter and warmer than that of our
American ginseng. The Department
of Agriculture, which after three
years of correspondence secured some
Korean ginseng seed, some of which
was given me, is now after this Mon
golian variety, and wheE that comes,
the'poor old American ginseng will be
at a discount. People have more
money than judgment who buy such
things at such prices. Even if we
could grow it here, the Mongolian
root would not sell for such prices
from our gardens, but it is mighty in
teresting to have such plant around,
anyhow.
| have not scratched the surface Of
this subject, for there is so much to
tell about stratifying the ginseng
seed for planting Gt takes Is to 80
months to sprout), cultivating, mark
citing the roots, etc, that it would
take book to cover it. When the
alternaria blight, acrostalagmus wilt,
anthrax rot and twenty other diseas-
es attack mans ginseng beds, he
feels discouraged. Open air culture
in woods makes healthier growth,
but the raising of ginseng will always
be more or less of a gamble. But
would like to try it in McNairy.

1t protects the manufacturers of the

Better Conditions for Convicts

We reaffirm our opposition to the
present convict labor system that is
'arried on at the state pe~nitentiary.
Our unfortunates who are for one
crime or another denied their liberty
should be given every opportunity to
redeem their manhood and reputat-
ion and with this end in view they
should be given greater opportunities
for educational improvement, worked
in the open air, upon the public high
ways, upon the state farms and in
other useful pursuits not in conflict
with the free labor of the state, a
fair share of their earnings being
pledged to the support of their fam
lilies, If they have any, or reserved
for their benefit when liberated.

Cooperation Invited

We invite further counsel of Re-
publicans, ~Progressives and Independ
ents, and urge all voters who are OPP
posed to the dangerous heresies and
bungling efforts of the Democratic
party, all voters who believe that the
Republican party is the most effect
ice agency with which to defeat Dem
ocracy and thus restore confidence
and prosperity, to join us, in crystal
izing the foregoing declarations into
law and to unite with us in electing
men to office who VII ciarry out the
letter and spirit of these resolutions.

Laws for Women

In the early stages of a social and
economic government, many laws
discriminate against women, and the
welfare of children is often neglected
We, therefore favor the enactment of
laws that will protect all the just
rights of mt and encourage the
moral, mental and physical develop
ment of children. We favor also
the selection of a woman matron at
the Wyoming Industrial Institute and
any other state home where a wo-
mans services "a be used advan-
tageously.

We give uneduivocal endorsement
to the Mondell enlarged homestead
act under which a citizen would be
enabled to make a living for himself

to depend upon the public range or
the bounty of others and under which
vacant public lands would soon pass
into private ownership, thus greatly
enhancing the taxable wealth of the
commonwealth and increasing its
productivity many fold.

Good Roads Bonds

Public highways are the real AFTER
les OF trade in rural districts and
knowing Wyoming will not reach its
highest development until permanent
modern roads connect all important
c%enters, we favor a constitutional
amendment by which counties under
proper restrictions and safeguards,
may vote bonds for public roads.
We also favor federal aid to inter
state highways.

years past, comes again before the voters of Carbon County, asking their
support or reelection. Harry has proven to De a cry efficient coroner

his many friends throughout the county are actively engaged in working for

State Loans ON Land

We favor such changes in our
laws as will enable the state to loan
its surplus funds to its people upon
lands thus giving a more stable fl
nancial system under which loans
could be secured on long time and on
a reasonable rate of interest. Long
time loans and fair interest charges
form the very essence of agricultural
development.

Open Primaries

Realizing that it frequently occurs
that the best interests of the people
can be preserved by giving them the
right to nominate candidates on more
than one ticket we favor the repeal
of the state law prohibiting the same
person from becoming a candidate of
more than one party. There should
be the freest possible expression of a
popular vote.

the legislature of the several states
requesting them to give women the
right of suffrage on equal terms with
the men.

Pure Fabric Law

In connection with our excellent
