HON. JNO. E.
For United States Senator.

Hon. John e. Osborne, for over a
quarter of a century prominent In Wyo-
ming's Industrial and public affairs, has
reached such a position of eminence
that his fellow citizens have presented
his name as a candidate for United
States Senator.
His official life and business career
have both been crowned with splendid
success. In 1892. as a young man, he
was elected Governor of Wyoming,
overcoming II normal majority of re-
publican votes; in 1896 he was elected
Il member of Congress over the most
popular nominee Of the opposing party,
F. w. Mondell. In 1913 President Will
ments and executive ability, appointed
him First Assistant Secretary Of State,
in with capacity he gained the highest
commendation of the President, Secre-
tary Lansing and the leading states
men of the Administration Inc Con-
gress.
After Wilson's election he was a
prominent candidate of many Western
states for Secretary of the Interior,
and no better estimate of his superior
fitness for a cabinet position could be
given than that given by Honorable w.
c.. Deming in the columns of the State
Tribune, when he said:
THAT there is much ground for the
nRnGnnfattnn hu thn Cfnfn of Nv no-
borne for this place no one will dis
pute.
In the service of his party Mr.. o.
borne has been u t~ireless and energetic
worker and his reputation is nation
wide.
"In all his business and political ca
reer he has shown remarkable execu-
tive ability. The scope of his private
business operations, banking, live stock,
manufacturing beet sugar and other
enterprises of great value to the well
fare and upbuilding of his section is
enormous"
Mr.. Osborne was born In Vermont,
where he was educated in the public
schools, and as a student in the Univer-
sity of Vermont, where he graduated
on the completion of a medical course.
He came west and settled at Raw
Inns, Wyo., in the early SOS and began
the practice Of his profession as a sur
geon for the Union Pacific Railway.
He o became interested In sheep and
wool growing, In which he achieved
great success and afterwards largely
extended his business operations, going
into banking, mining, manufacturing
Of beet sugar, real estate, etc.
In 1907 Mr.. Osborne married Miss
Selma Smith, member of a distinguish
ed, old Kentucky family. They have
one child, a daughter, and their home
is one of the most beautiful and sub
stantial residences of Rawlins.

A year later he went to Fort Bridger
and was employed by Judge Carter at
Post Traders Store, as bookkeeper.
While there he married the Judges
daughter, Lulie L. Carter, who is, now
n of the most prominent workers in
Cheyenne, in ID. A. h. and Red Cross
work.

It is actually unpatriotic to tender a
liberty bond for sale Immediately after
purchase. While circumstances may
arise to justify sales of such bonds in
the future, in acute emergencies, tenders
for sale within a week of the close of
the loan campaign indicate either that
tie bonds were bought simply to secure
the credit of purchase or else that there

the people somewhat. but the grim fact
is recognized that the object for which
the movement was launched has failed.
1t was undoubtedly ven Hindenburg' s
purpose to smash the British and French
lines and press on behind them, between

eight weeks ago and the sole result is

German Hunger.

A dispatch that comes from Germany
through Amsterdam tells of an adver
tisement appearing in a Berlin news
paper which reveals a desperate lack Of
sustcnance for the people Of Germany
This advertisement announces the in

forming a substitute for the minimum
daily sustenance, is an excellent prepa
ration for stilling premature hunger
and enables one to hold out until the
next meal" In other words, German.
has reached the point of food depletion
that calls for drugging to allay pain
This is most dangerous expedient.
Comparatively little has been heard
recently of starvation" in Germany
It has been supposed that the Russian
peace would result in large accession
OF food supplies, particularly from the
Ukraine. But the results have been bit
terly disappointing. There is in truth
very little food in Russia for export
The Ukraine, which is the most fertile
part of the old empire, will hardly pro.
duce grain enough this year to feed the
people Of that territory. One Of the
basic terms of the German peace with
the Ukraine was an agreement to main
tain certain price for grain, which is
much higher than that allowed German
producers. The latter are protesting
vigorously against this discrimination
and the Ukrainians will not export for
less. Furthermore, only so per cent of
the usual crop has peen sowed in the
Ukraine.
The food supply is undoubtedly at the
lowest ebb in Germany now of the en-.
tire year. Possibly conditions are no
worse there than they have been any
spring since that Of 1916, when the allies
were buoyed up by the hope that Ger
many would be actually starved into
submission. But the people are unques-
tionably weaker than ever before
through long continued malnutrition,
and the appearance Of this advertised
drug to dull the pangs Of hunger indi-
Gates that they are acutely suffering
from lack Of food, even though they
may obtain enough to keep body and
soul together. With their men falling
in the western offensive at an unprec-
edented rate, and, despite the collapse
of Russia, with no sign Of actual vic
tory, they must indeed he in q state of
despair, which in any other country but
that would lead 10 revolt.

As. matter of fact, much of the work
has been we'll lone. Foreign officials on

pleasanter things about it than had

That stupid old phrase, giving aid

If Mr.. Wilson Stays Out.

Early as it is, and unusual as the sit
uation created by the war is. calculations
about 1920 are floating about. All may
be wide of the mark. All may be COM
p!etely upset by the developments Of
the next two years. Still, some are in.
teresting. and are giving politicians at
least entertainment.
The number who believe that Mr.. vii.
son can have another nomination if he
wants it is growing. Likewise. the num-
Der Of those who believe he will want it.
He is not bending under the burden of
the presidency, although it is heavier
than ever before. His health continues
good. His industry keeps up. He gives
every evidence Of enjoying his job. He
has his work systematized. He sees few
callers. and disposes Of those he sees
speedily. For these reasons many of his
admirers think that when the time comes
for him to speak he will signify his
willingness to lead his party again.
But if Mr. Wilson takes himself out
Of the way, and does not attempt to
name his successor, then these men, ac-
cording to speculation, should figure in
the democratic equation: Champ Clark,
w. j. Bryan, Thomas R. Marshall, Oscar
Underwood, w. G. McAdoo and William
X. Hearst. All but Mr.. McAdoo and Mr.
Hearst figured in the equation of 1912.
Mr.. Clark and Mr. Marshall are tick
eted as middle state men; Mr.. Bryan
as q near westerncr, and Mr.. Under
wood, of course, as a southerner. Mr..
McAdoo is rated as New Yorker by
reason OF long residence in that state.
For the same reason Mr.. Hearst should
be similarly rated. But doubt exists
in his case 1t is suggested that he may
ask to be rated as Californian. He
was born in the Golden state, and still
has large property interests there. If,
however, he succeeds in having himself
nominated for Governor of New York
for this years camIaign, and wins at the
polls, he will, of course, ask considera
ton as a New Yorker in the presiden-
tial matter
These six men, even if there should
be no others, should, with opportunity,
make the next democratic national con-
vention an exceedingly lively AFFAIR of
its kind. Geographically and otherwise,
the stage would I've set for a stirring
drama-an all-star performance, with
some Of the stars not only differing from
other stars in glory, Int not inordinate
ly fond of their rival twinklcrs. The five
acts of the play would easily cover a
week, and the final curtain might not
fall for u fortnight.

Mothers Day.

This dav IS dedicated to the worner

world democracy and the preservation

International occasion, observed abroad

/ In especial esteem in war, for upon them
falls the heaviest burden of the sacrifice
They have sent their sons forth to fight
willingly. with patriotic eagerness. They
have not fiinched from tie awful pos
6hilities. They have kept their hearts
high. they smile upon the world and
they bear their weigh. of anxiety and
suffering bravely.
The mothers whose sons are far away
In danger, are contributing to cause
that is now sacred to the highest pr1n-
ciples Of humanity In other lands, less
fortunate than this, the women have
themselves been sacrificed to a brutal
foe The women, of Belgium have seen
their children slaughtered, their hus-
hands murdered, their sons forced into
IN alien service their daughters become
the victims of bestial conquerors. No
tongue can tell of the heart breaking
agonies OF those women, of Belgium and
Of France
American women feel the keenest sym
pathy for their sisters of other lands.
They know the pangs that those others
have suffered. If their own sons fall in
the fight they are sustained by the
knowledge that the offering they make
b for good cause. The tears they shed
will flourish the soil of liberty.
We are just getting into the battle.
Our soldiers are not vet fully III force
In France, but are arriving daily in in

will increase with them. But there will
be no flinehins, no call for peace be-
cause of these sacrifices. Not until the
enemy is conquered and brought tc terms
that make for world peace for long
future will there be any desire that the
sons OF America return. They must re-

done, and they will he sustained to the
