them back to younger days in the old

Some Forms of Rheumatism Durable

Rheumatism is a disease character
lied by pains in the joints and in the
muscles. The most common forms
are: Acute and Chronic Rheumatism,
Rheumatic Headaches, Seiatic Rheu-
matism and Lumbago. All of these
types can be helped absolutely by ap-
plying some good liniment that pene-
Liniment two or three times a day to
the affected part will give instant re-
lief. Sloan's Liniment is good for
pain, and especially Rheumatic Pain,
because it penetrates to the seat of
the trouble, soothes the afflicted part
and draws the pain. "Sloan's Lini-
ment is all medicine" Get a 25c bot

An Unprotected Treasury Land.

We read, and read and read, and then 60 home at night and with
cold chils, sweat away till dawn. TITS terriable indeed that such a
great storehouse of riches, as this great q. s., all unprotected on land
or sea.
How different the ways of defense of nations, than that of man.
How different one nation to another. When we we're small, we we're
taught that the best Notifications of man was in his education, and
that education was the foundation of defense. Now W g are told this
great nation is without protection on land or sea-" Yet we gaze over
IA nation that has more educated men to the square foot than all the
balance put together. When this little, unprotected" nation had ID
states with about IS much population in the entire body as there is in
wyoming today, she licked the very devil out of Great Britton. and
she had to make her men and officers a she went, and fought trained
soldiers at that. If you have any idea that this "unprotectedn nation
can be hon-swaggled and taken over night, by apy nation or n two
under the sun, just step up and take the Port of New York or San
Francisco, and see how long it takes them to get the rest of the back
yards of either.
We may be foolish in our patriotism, but we have to be shown
when 1T comes to better men under arms than America can produce
one educated man Is worth fifty of any nation we have ever heard of
In the present day civilization, and if President Wilson keeps on with
present program of neutrality, We feel sure there is going to be a good
chance to have this little matter tested out. Hang the big battle
ships We don't need them. Give Is a few submarines and a mil.
lion American men and we don't know of ANYTHING short of b--tbot
can stop us.

The Thirteenth General Assembly.

Saturday night the Thirteenth General Assembly passed into
history, and it's history will far overshadow the history of the 18th
State Legislature. Too bad, that we can't sponge the 18th from the
pages of Wyoming history and from our memory. 1t did so little
good for the amount of devilment it stirred up.
The 18th session wa a busy, industrious, progressive body of will
ing workers. The Carbon County delegation, composed of Daley and
McGrew in the Senate, HadselL, Booth, Peryam and Nelson in the
house, made up about the strongest working delegation of any county
in the state. We had good reports from all of them. Senator Nc
Grew worked hard, as is his want. Senator DAILY made a good show
ing for his first advent. We we're very sorry that the sickness of Rep
resentative Peryam kept that old war horse away from his duties
r. representative Hadsell and Booth, while both new men, gave a good
account of themselves, and we r pleased to learn that Representa-.
tive Andy Nelson, was the balance weight of common sence on all
work and we were informed by men of both parties that he was the
one best bet in the house, and while big in statute, his was equally
big in brain, level headed and cool.
Many or nearly all the platform pledges of the republican party
have been redeemed, and the good work of the 18th, will pass into
history with a good reputation and memory.

Ambition That May Ruin.

With his over Jealous greed and for business that the nation might
prosper, and grab the shipping business of the world, President Will
son is taking the most hazardous chances with war that any one
could. Even at the risk of the nations honor, and at the beck and
call of the shipping trust. MIR. Wilson is plunging on, with little
or no thought of the future. 1t is now that he wants to make his big
showing as President, with nominations for that office again only a
little over a year off.
D--the shipping, better we hold our neutrality, and take chances
with the other nations when the war is ended. We a prepare and
plan and get all ready, and when the time come We can be the best
prepared and fitted of them all, and to the strong all thing come
Why risk the honor of a nation and jeopardize the neutrality, just for
a big splash, that he might again be the conquering hero for the
Office of President in 1916. If we follow the lead of our President,
we would be at war in six months, and may be, who knows. All the
cry and hurrah about Wilson and his peace plan is tommy-rot of
the worse kind. Though his intentions may be the best, vet it does
not take an educated man to see, where Wilson is coming to with his
policy, if given enough rope and even a number of the leading demo-
Gratis of the nation ae admitting it, Like his Mexican policy, it will
all turn out to be the thorn in the side of the democratic party. 1t is
now a proven fact that college professors re n o smarter than other
men.

shipwrecks and Courts Martial.

NTS e''N
The custom of holding courts martial
in the British navy after every case of
shipwreck has n curious origin. In
1T41 the Wager, one Of Commodore
Anson's vessels, was wrecked off the
coast of chile. most of the crew being
saved. The men and some of the jun
Tor officers held that they We're M
longer amenable to discipline because
their pay ceased with the wreck, but
the captain. whose name was Davy
Cheap, differed. treated them as mutt
neers and shot II of his midshipmen.
He was then deposed. and most of the
crew made off in three of the boats.
Later when it was proposed to proceed
against the so called mutineers the law
officers of the crown decided that the
men had been correct in their view.
This discovery led to the framing of
section 81 of the articles of war. which
provides that in the case of shipwreck.
destruction or capture by the enemy a
ship is held to remain in commission
pending inquiry by a court martial.

LABOR oPPRESSoRS. - After
reading about Rockefeller's connec-
ton with the Colorado labor trouble,
the thought occurred to me, why pick
on Rockefeller? There are thousands
of other employers just as bad. He
happens to be more conspicuous
than his fellows, which is probably
the reason we hear more about his
oppression of labor.
Even if the entire present genera
ton of employers were to all die at
once we would still have the condi-
ton which creates helplessness as far
as labor is concerned and also gives
employers the upper hand. When
