AGAINST CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

For the past two weeks we have
printed editorials by NJ. W. Connolly
editor of the Memphis News-Scimetar
on Capital Punishment, reviewing tGe
barbarity of killing a man in colo
blood because he killed another in not
blood, anger, in drunkenness or mad
ness. The movement is one started Dy
Mr. Duke c. Bowers, of Dresden. who
in the legislature of 1879, urged t"e
passage of a bill abolishing CAPITA,
punishment, and WHO while deIea'eu
in that effort, will appeal to the pres
emit legislature to adopt more nu-
manitarian process of redeeming CHM
inals than killing them. You may
talk about an eye for an eye and a
tooth for tooth, but the superior
quality of mercy is worth considering

That Economy Idea.

One of the planks in the Demo-
cratic National platform adopted
at the Baltimore convention de.
clares: "We denounce the profit
gate waste of money wrung from
the people by oppressive taxation
through the lavish appropriations
OF recent Republican congresses.
We demand a return to that SIM
plicity and economy which BELTS
a Democratic government" etc.,
etc.
The economy record of the first
Democratic congress since 1897
with a Democratic administration
behind it is now on the files and
open to inspection. The appro-
priations during the two sessions
OF this congress were 80 "lavish"
that they exceeded the appropria-
tions of the last Republican con-
gress by SIT, 900, 900.
Is it in the least surprising, I'm
der such a showing, that the ma
tional treasury is facing a year.
end deficit somewhere in the
neighborhood of 500, 900, 100000?
There is a brief respite in the
White House talk fest about "free-
ing business" the new Freedom"
the coming of "the prosperity
wave" The real problem after
two years of Democratic admins
tration is what shall we do about
the Observation-Disclosures Star.

Toast to Laughter.

Here's to laughter, the sunshine
of the soul, the happiness of the
heart, the leaven of youth, the
privilege of purity, the echo of
innocence, the treasure OF the
humble, the wealth of the poor,
tn bead of the cup of pleasure; it
dispels detection, banishes blues
aud mangles melancholy; for it's
the foe of woe, the destroyer OF
depression, the enemy of grief; 1t
is what kings envy peasants. plu-
tocrats envy the poor, the guilty
envy the innocent; it's the sheen
ON the silver of smiles, the ripple
on the waters delight; the CLINT
of the gold of gladness; without it
humor would be dumb, wit would
wither, dimples would disappear
and smiles would shrivel, for it's a
GLOW of a clean conscience, the
voice of a pure soul, the birth cry
of mirth, the swan-song of sad

Honeymoon Express"

San Diego, June 24.-The very
latest thing in trans-continental
travel to the San Diego EXPOSE
ton is the Honeymoon Express
which was sent out of Chicago
during this month by one of the
big railroads tapping California.
The train is a happy June crea-
ton, for June is the month when
brides and bridegrooms flourish.
With coaches dedecked with gay
banners declaring that most pas
sengers we're "newlyweds" the
train pulled out for the west I'M
der a shower of rice. Every sta
ton along the route turned out a
crowd to welcome the honeymoon
ers according to advices which
the Exposition has received. The
passengers have heard the Wed
ding March so frequently that it
is said they welcomed their ar
rival in California. Boquets of
the choicest roses YER presented
to the brides while the Exposition
had a special program during the
visit of the delegation.

A National Creed.

The Chicago Herald suggests
the following as a National Greed,
by which the men, women and
children of America may affirm
their Americanism:
| believe in the United States,
n and indivisible; in her mis-
sion as the champion of humanity
as the friend of the weak and
distressed; in the singleness, dig
nifty and inviolability of Ameri-
can citizenship; in the validity OF
our national traditions; in peace
with honor; in friendship with all
nations that respect our rights; IN
entangling alliances with none; in
reasonable preparations for ma
tional defense by e and land; IN
Sinking no sacrifice needed to
hand down to the future the price
less treasures bequeathed to us by
the past; in the necessity OF keep
ing the western hemisphere free
from the intrusions of European
institutions and ambitions; in the
capacity of free men for self-gov-

Wyomins's Coal Production.

The quantity of coal mined in
Wyoming in 1914 was CATS ,293
short tons, valued at $l0,o33, TAT.
This was a decrease of 917,773
tons in quantity and $l,476,39S in
value as compared with 1913, &C.
cording to Q. F. Lesher, of the
United States Geological Survey.
The decrease is attributed mainly
to a lessened demand for coal for
domestic uses, by reason of the
unusually mild weather through
out the year, and to the smaller
amount required by the railroads

coal fran the Colorado mines af.

MAXWELL $500.

Fl. E. Pilon, of the Pilon Mer-
camille Co., agents for the Max
we'll motor car, informed us this
week that the Maxwell will be
S7OO delivered at Saratoga, for the
1916 models which are on the
market. They have sold several
cars this season and expect to sell
a good many more during the re-

markets temporarily supplied in
1913 by Wyoming coal, accounts
for a large part of the decrease in
certain counties of Wyoming in
1914. Labor troubles did not ser
iously affect the coal-mining in
dustry in the state in 1914, as but
24o men were involved through
out the year for an average of IL
days. There was an abundance of
labor for coal mining and a plen-
tiful supply of cars for Transport
tation.
Wyoming continues to maintain
a high record for efficiency in the
rate of production per man en-
ployed, and although there WAS a
falling off in the average tonnage
for the year, the average per man
per day was the highest on record
in the state. The average tonnage
per man decreased from S87 tons
In 1913 to 1893 tons in 1914, and
the average for each man, per day,
increased from 1882 to AIS tons.
The first production of coal in
Wyoming was reported in 1865,
one year later than the. first re-
ported output of coal in Colorado.
This pioneer coal mining was
probably carried on in connection
with the construction of the I'm
ion Pacific Railroad. The total
output in that year amounted to
800 tons. Five years later, when
the railroad was completed, the
production amounted to about
$4,000 tons.

Passing of the West

the annual Frontier Days of Chey.
enne and the famous Pendleton
Roundup, if the hopes of Manager
G, l.. Harris are realized. In num-
Der of riders entered, size of prizes
offered, character of events-in ev
cry respect, the Billings show
promises to equal those which
have made their respective com
munities known the country over.
There is only one exception
Billings celebration is to be its
first and last. 1t is to mark what
its name signifies, "the passing of
the west"
Time was, some 30 or more
years ago, when the Old West at
tracted only the more hardy of
fasteners. Those who came into
this then desert country were
known as the pioneers of the
West. Out of the material at
hand, with infinite patience and
confidence of success, they forged
what western cities now delight
in calling the garden spot of the
country" the playground of the
world" and similar terms intend
ed to convey an impression of
pleasing physical aspect, abund-
ant opportunities and unexcelled
climate.
But in the long years which
connect the Old West with the
New West there were developed
pastimes-and hardships-which
remain peculiar to that period in
American history. These are typ
flied in the bucking broncho, de-
scendant of the wild horse of the
plains, steer roping, both work
and play to the cowpunchers of
the early day; bulldogging, a pas
time-or art, as its masters call it
which few have attempted sue
cessfully, and which, as the years
pass, will be seen less and less as
the old time rangeriders disap-
pear.
The Old West is passing into
the discard. Soon it will be but
a memory, for with the rising
generation will come new work,
new forms of playa new life
which, as history demonstrates,
must irrevocably efface the West
which its fathers knew.
In the Passing of the West"
celebration in Billings, the New
West will be given an opportuni-
ty to catch a brief glimpse of the
Old West-the West which is
passing down the long years
whose march nothing can stay.
The procession is passing. 1t is
almost gone. The stagecoach, the
ropers, the riders, the horsemen
who have been the envy of riders
the world over-these are the Old
West, and it is this panorama OF
the Old West which Billings will
offer the week of the Fourth for a
New Vests pleasure and enter
tainment.
