Owes Carey-N Nothing

His statement that no charge of

of his administration. and that all

We maintain that the people
Owe nothing to Governor Carey
nor any other officcseeker. When

swore to do his best"-nothing
less-so no debt exists on that
score.
IL may be stated hat people in
all sections of Wyoming agree that
Governor Carey has done his
best"-but they are not going o
vote him another term.
Different people have different
reasons but in most quarters tho
nomination and subsequent cleo
ton of John w. Hay is looked
upon as being certain. as inevitable

ability to pay.
stated that. so far as the state
government is concerned. taxes
annot be materially reduced and
passes tho bucix'' to the various
county and city governments.
John w. Hay says that drastic
reduction in state taxes can be ac-
complished by abolition OF useless
breaus and commissions-that half
million dollars of the peoples
money can be saved IN this one
direction"
The records show that John w.
Hay has all his life been doing
things that other men said could
not be done. He stands for a re-
turn to plain business efficiency in
the conduct of the peoples affairs.
He proposes to install system that
will do away with all friction and
lost motion.
IT has been by sheer ability that
he has risen step by step from
telegraph operator to his present.
position. For nariy a quarter of a
century he has been doing big
things in Wyoming.
1t is not that Mr.. Carey has been
a poor governor. but that Mr.. Hay
will be a better one-that is what
is hitting people fairly between the
eyes.

A Strong Candidate
Burns Herald.)

John ". Hay Of Rock Springs
announces his candidacy for the
goyernorship. The Republican
party might travel a good deal
farther. and fare worse in looking
for n candidate. The business in.
terests Of Wyoming know John w.
Hay. and know that he Is safe and
sane"
He Is a man without ostentation
or display. who has come UP
through the ranks" As the saying
is and appreciates the fellow who
works. no matter IN what line OF
trade or business. He came to
Wyoming with no prestige save his
ability to hold down, n position. as
telegraph operator IN the railroad
service. His rapid rise to positions
of responsibility and trust in that
service, demonstrated his executive
ability. and his success in his per.
sonal business since leaving the
railroad employ has been remark
able indeed.
His wide acquaintance with the
people Of Wyoming and his init.
mate knowledge. make him at
once a strong candidate.

The Logical Man

After careful consideration OF
she best interests Of the state Of
wyoming and the Republican
party, the Pioneer has decided to
Join the numerous other Repub-
llcan newspapers of tho ntate in
support of the candidacy OF John
w. Hay for governor before the
primaries August "a. We have
been influenced In our d0termina-
ton by the fact that the cost of
state government In Wyoming has
steadily grown through several
administrations. 1t is now out OF
reason and proportion with the
business annually transacted.
Boards and commissions have been
created to do the work that were
better and more efficiently handled
by the departments established by
the original act OF statehood. Tho
commissioners. heads OF bureaus
and other officials together with
full sets of office employs have al
ready tnken over all available
in the capitol until the next
cry will be for additional wings to
the building,
All of this is unfair to the tax
payers who are compelled to dig
up the money with which to lldui-
date the ~payroils. We have had
entirely too much of spending and
too little of saving OF the taxpay-
ers' money.
The Republican party in each
county should look well to the
quality OF members sent to the
next legislature. Let them be men
who will Join seriously with John
Hay in his laudable effort to place
the state government on an eco
nomical businss basis and relieve
the taxpayers OF a portion OF the
burden they are compelled to
carry.
We trust the Republicans OF
Platte county will approve and
Join with the Pioneer In support
Of John Hay in the good work OF
bringing Wyoming back to a pol
icy Of retrenchment and efficiency
heretofore unknown"

CONVECTION LIKED IN CHINA

Mild Sweetness.

The fayorite candy of the Chinese

Richardson, in Chemical and Metal

popular CONNECTION is made from a
rice sugar which, on account of the
method of its manufacture, is some
times called barley sugar.
The manufacture of this sugar is
essentially a home and small-shop
industry. 1t is prepared by stepping
1870 catties of dry rice in hot water
and mixing the mash with nine cat
ties Of barley sprouts, which are pro
duced by the termination Of dry
barley for six to eight days in warm
water. The mash is mixed in a COW
cred tub with a sieve bottom, which
is placed over a pot Of boiling water
and steamed for IS hours. The ex-
tracted material trickles down into
the pot and is concentrated as the
water e~vaporates. AT the end of Is
hours the concentrated strip weighs
80 to 100 catties. This strip is
boiled down and pulled to form a
white. candy
The process is usually carried on
