An Illustrated Directory.

The Lower House of Congress
has decided that the Congress
sional Directory shall be illus.
trated. Heretofore the directory
has appeared with no pictures or
with only view of the Capitol
and a lot of utterly inartistic
maps of congressional districts,
but that condition is to come to
an end.
The next directory will have
not less than 531 pictures in it.
that being the exact number of
Representatives and Senator's;
and-need we add-each pic
ture will be the portrait of a
member of Congress. OF course
the gentleman who introduced
the resolution providing for this
departure did not claim that he
was laboring for the advance
mant of decorative art. He called
attention to the claims of poster
ity and the historical value of the
record that would be made by a
collection of 531 portraits Of dis.
tinguished Americans in each
issue of the directory.-St. Louis
Republic.
Not one Congressman even
imagined, we suppose, that the
presence of his portrait in the
directory would insure the pos
session of it by every newspaper
in the United States. However,
one may expect to see the por-
traits of a great many Congress.
men in the daily prints after the
next directory is out that never
got in before; and then, there is
another thing: A considerable
number of Congressman may
find at the next session, for the
first time in their lives, that
somebody in Congress besides
the Speaker and the members of
their own state delegation has
learned to know them by sight.

ly way Ola comment we might
state that heretofore for the past
ywo years the Argus has been
doing the printing for the county
for - cents per square for the
first insertion and 20 cents per
square for each subsequent
insertion.
So this shows that The Hayti
Herald did not bid so much under
the old price, but, had the Her
i'd not bid on this years print,
lng Pcmiscot county would have
spent at least 100000 more
per year for the printing. Thus
the Herald has saved the people
of Pemiscot county the neat little
sum of about 100000. Not so

TAKE YOURSELF, FOR m.
STANCE,

Mr.. Voter. consider a supposttious
case. You have come to Colorado and
nave availed yourself of the opportun-
lty to obtain cheap lands. At first the
struggle is hard. You have not yet
attained affluence While You pre-
pare Your fertile lands against their
promise of future prosperity, Your de-
pendsnce for partial sustenance on
Your livestock is great. Your live
stock practically stands between You
and an uncomfortable degree of pow
erty.
A so-called herd law-such as You
now are being asked to vote for this
coming November-is written on the
statute books. 1t provides that should
Your livestock stray, thru no fault of
Your own, and invade another's prop
erty, it may be held for damages by
the owner of that property. What
those damages shall be Is decided by
him. If You consider his estimate
excessive, You must go to court. You
must pay lawyers. Court costs are
added to the amount fixed in law.
Your horse or Your COW may have

avoided utmost vigilance, and strJsed
without, absolutely. a particle Of will
full negligence on Your part, without
You have been careless. And yet You
must enter upon expensive litigation,
must be subject to strife and enmity
which cannot help but be engendered.
Your common sense will tell You that
even between friends and neighbors
amicable agreements as to comput-
ing of damages are in ninety-nine
cases out of 100 impossible.
And what is to prevent an unscrup:
ulous and designing neighbor break
ing Your fence in the night, driving
Your livestock upon his own land. and
holding 1t until You pay? That Is
another phase. In comparatively new
and growing communities greedy and
INSCRIPTIONS characters are by no
means scarcity.
Those things may happen under this
measure You are being appealed to
by misrepresenting and misleading
pleas Of desire to protect the small
farmer from the predatory cattle
baron"-to give your support to. You
are asked to accept law which every
organization representing Your best
interests-the Farmers Grange, the
Farmers Union. the State Dairymens'
association, the Colorado Stockgrow-
ers association and business organiza-
tions in cities and town over all the
state-have declared unequivocally to
be iniquitous and filled with the men
ace Of destruction to the agricultural
industry of Colorado. Read the pro-
posed measure carefully. Convince
yourself these things are SO. The
influences behind this measure hope
for its success among the unthinking
voters Of the state.

Why SO sTRANo1LY snnTf

Persons inclined to give Volnay :.
Hosgatt and his newspaper employers
credit for spirit of fairness towards
tion to his so-called 'Herd-Law' have
found cause for conflict with their
first opinion since the measure has
become the subject of discussion over
the state. 1t has been remarked thAI
Editor Hoggatt, in his weekly, has
failed absolutely to mention the fact
that the stockgrowers of the state, ali
OF whom he would have US believe
are cattle barons, are not the only
ones who have declared an unalter-
able enmity to his measure. 1t has
eeen especially noticeable here OF
late that he has refused to comment
On the fact that the Farmers Grange,
the Farmers Union, the State Dairy
mems association, the Denver Civic
and commercial association and othei'
business organizations in cities and
towns over all Colorado also have de
clared the proposed law iniquitous and
bristling with provisions dangerous to
the states very prosperity.
And the obviousness Of that fail
IRE was made more clear cut, some
what humorously too, for those who
nave been impressed by the penchanl
of the Denver Post and its weekly
auxiliary to quote frequently and at
.ength every view or comment on any
thing pertaining to farming or agricul-
tural branches that fell from the lips
of Eugene Grubb, known thruout the
world as the potato king, when Mr.
Irubb appeared before the gathering
Of farmers, business men, stock grow
ers and sheepmen at Glenwood
Springs several days ago. Mr.. Grubb
was an active participant at the meet
ing. He declared from the platform:
This so-called herd-law is one OF
the most iniquitous have ever read.
1t holds danger for every branch OF
the states agricultural industry. 1t
strikes at the very existence Of the
small farmer. It holds grave danger
'or the sheepmen. 1t will ruin the
:attlemon. large and small. am sur
prised that any thinking person could
be misled into support of the meas
ure."
And the Post and Great Divide 70
mained strangely silent. 1t failed to
mention also the attack on the law
made by Samuel D. Nicholson, guber-
natorial nomination candidate, B. F.
Napier, state senator, and other prom
inent men, at the same meeting. The
fairness seems to have been q
chimera.

4 REMINDER.

Lest We forget-Approximately L.
900 Of the 10000 signatures attached
to the petitions for initiating the So
called Herd Law" were obtained by
small army Of paid circulators in
Denver. They were hired by the Dem
yer Newspaper backing the measure.
and were paid three cents name
Why? Have the owners Of that pa
per ever been known to contribute a
cent Of their wealth without hope Of
being rewarded ten foldf And yet
they would have the public believe
that somewhere in existence Is a
plethoric slush fund, that men and
newspapers and organizations are be-
ing bought. made creatures without
conscience because they oppose the
measure. Such charges are made too
often against those who oppose the
schemes of the Denver paper to be
dignified with denial.
And the figures quoted are answer.
also, to the claim OF the proposed
laws hackers that the petitions were
signed by the farmers of the state,
who almost fell over themselves in
their eagerness to be saved from star
walton and want by the Denver Post
and its weekly organ. They prove
the city dweller was appealed to when
the thinking farmers refused support.
There are 50,0oO,oo0 acres of un-
fenced government lands in Colorado.
Thousands OF small farmers with
few head Of livestock are making both
ends meet by utilizing those lands for
grazing. Do you. Mr.. Voter and Mrs.
Voter. believe 1t good business to de.
prive them of that privilege? That is
what will happen to them should the
so-called Herd Law you are being
asked to cast your ballot for In No
vember go on the statute books. A
careful study of the proposed laws
provisions will reveal to you that
those lands no longer will be available
to any but those sufficiently affluent
to hire help to tend their stock. How
many struggling newcomers on Colo
radios cheap lands are so affluentf
The government will not fence its
lands. Even If it would it is esti-
mated 1t would cost $25,O00,O00 to
fence those in this state.

A MATTER OF RECORD.

When Volney T. Hoggatt, one-time

has been denounced by the farmers
and business organisations of the
state as threatening the agricultural
life of Colorado, was candidate for

given by the Civic League Of Denver.
1t was issued by the league in explana-
ton of the organizations refusal to
recommend his name to the voters. 1t
was based on, as it was explained, the
following among numerous reasons:
"He is an adventurer."
"He has been connected with shady
transactions in mining deals"
"He has been connected with ques-
.tionable deals in Grand county lands" "
And now Hoggatt, as editor OF the

consuming passion for the welfare Of
the farmers of Colorado. He Is plead

will end summarily the iniquitous
reign Of the cattle baron, and protect
the struggling settler from those
predatory enemies of the tillers of the
soil. His avowed hatred Of the cattle.
men, the land grabber, is soul stirring
in its intensity. He likens himself to
Horace Greeley. He terms himself a
Liberator a Mr. Moses, modernized,
who seeks to lead the downtrodden
and struggling small farmer out OF
his wilderness into green lands OF
pr osperity.
But-his record! In the files at the
state land office, open to any one who
wishes to read, it Is in black on white
that Mr.. Hoggatt as register Of the
state land board, In fifteen months Of
his incumbency. had sold under his
direction 15,757 acres Of school land
to twenty-seven persons! The laws
provide explicitly that one person
shall not be sold more than 800 acres.

owner of $4,000 acres OF Eastern Colo

purchased 1,040 acres Of school lands.

the poor farmer could purchase 1t for.
And when Mr.. Hoggatt visited this re-

and feasted in regal style. Other in.

Wyoming cattle firm, profited in like
manner thru the overwhelming desire
of Mr.. Hoggatt to aid the struggling
farmer and settler.
OF the 532 parcels Of land sold un.

not all of the eleven came to Colorado
