Government Investigations.

Since time immortal, governments have been investigating one
thing after another at a cost of many millions of dollars to the people
of the land, and yet has anyone ever heard of any real value coming
out of these continued Investigations. We fully believe In investi-
CATION, but we also believe IN following those Investigations up and
giving the people som real benefit from them. If thing is found
irregular, and there is n o law governing it, SO as to regulate same,
then a law should be put in force by enactment that will have a ten.
dency to regulate those things in the future. Too often the nyesti-
CATION proves a farce of the weakest kind, with the result that it mas
cost many thousands and millions of dollars with no beneht.
When u thing needs investigation it must also need regulation,
and without the regulation, it is less than nothing. The people pay
the bill and it is soon forgotten 1t would seem that the most intel
lgent investigation every proposed WAS the one offered by Rockefel
Ter, when he proposed to investigate congress. That might seem a
joke at first hand, but it is not, in fact it is a very serious matter,
and while it might be like the government Investigations, yet it
would perhaps enhghten the people of this country rs to how this
government Is run and might in the long run be the means of putting
the government on a new basis, from the people taking a hand and
allowing only those capable of handling government affairs, to be
placed in office, or at least enough Of that kind of men s. that the
politicians would not control matters to any great extent. The gov
eminent of the United States could be run on the same principle a a
company or corporation at perhaps half the expense, and ON a paying
basis besides, by "A little intelligent honest endeavor.

JUST LIKE ANY OTHER BOY
Long-HeId Idea That "~Preacher's
Sons" Generally Turn Out Bad Is
Mere FooIishness.

A reader of the New York Herald
who writes as one of them calls at
tention in the letter column to the
interesting fact that both of the great
political parties have selected for
leadership that much m~aligned per
son, the "preacher's SON" The ia
Their Of Mr.. Wilson was a Presbyteri-
an clergyman. The father of Mr..
Hughes vas a clergyman of the Bap-
list church.
1t is an interesting coincidence.
n that should prove pretty effective
in disposing of the idea that the
preachers son" is headed for the
gallows-if any Of that worn. old SUI
perstition still persists.
There never was anything to it
from the beginning. Its foundation
was assumption that the son of a
minister should be something alto
gether angelic, with wings in full
feather. Nine times out Of ten he is
just as human as any other boy, and
just because he is he gets a bad
name.
Instead of being an object of sym
pathy and solicitude the preachers
ION is a being to be envied. Early III
life he has to "get out and HUSTLE
for himself. 1t is "hustling'' that
brings success in this great republic.

ONE INDUSTRY AIDED BY WAS
BrIer-Pipe Manufacture Has Been
Given a Decided Impetus-5est
Wood Comes From Italy.

The war has given an impetus to
the brier-pipe manufacture, which as
a commercial industry in England
had its inception in 1859, though its
age on the continent antedated that
period considerably. The French
white heath Erica arborea), whose
roots furnish the pipe material,
hourishes in all countries bordering
upon the Mediterranean and grows to
a height of SO to As inches. Around
Florence, Italy, it is the custom to
cut the long, tough, young shoots
each year, bind them together, and
sell them for use in sweeping streets
in cities and towns. Outside of this,
the plant is allowed to grow for three
IT four years, when the roots will
have developed sufficiently to permit
cutting them, enough of the plant be-
ing left to permit cuttings every
three years. The roots most in de
mand for pipe-making, a certain
aroma and brightness of wood being
the test, are those obtained from the
Tuscan Maremme in the neighbor-
hood of Follonica, Cecina and Gros-
seto. They are preferred by a n
facturers to those from any other
part of Italy, or from Algeria or the
Orient. Most of the land in the Tus-
"a Maremme growing these roots is
owned by French and British con-
Germs, who maintain warehouses and
workshops on or near their lands
where the roots are washed, boiled
and roughly shaped, after which they
are sorted by size, color and quality

Amen!

Editor Demiug of the Wyoming Tribune is woefulIy afraid the
primary election law will be repealed. 1t was n pet measure of his
aud he does no wish to see his child sacrificed. Up to date no one
has been able to discern wherein it has benefited anybody, either in
Wyoming or any other state. 1t has caused no end of expense and
has made many candidates for Office spend money they needed badly
for other matters OF more consequence. 1t has not given is better
candidates for Office nor eliminated any of the evils attending eec.
tons 1t has made 1t possible for some who would not have been
nominated by party conventions 10 nominate themselves, thus reduc.
ing the general average of character and intelligence that would 9th.
er"se come before the people on party tickets. Thus far not a sin
gle logical argument has been given favorable to the rentention of
the direct primary law, out 1t is easier to retain a bad law than to
XIII 1t, hence we presume the Legislature will not have the courage to
repeal it-Laramie Republican.
