TWO LAWYERS BATTLE
WHEN WORDS DOUBTED

L. A. Howard and F. A. Cooper,
Amarillo lawyers, had a fight Tues
day. The two attorneys were argu-
ing the case of Lockney farmers
against the Santa Fe for alleged
shortage in grain shipments, when
they became riled and left Judge H.
r. Airheart's court and went to the
hall, where they began pummeling
each other
Howard is declared to have said a
certain thing was law and Cooper is
said to have remarked the particular
thing referred to was not law and
Howard knew it wasn't.
Whereupon Howard is alleged to
have remarked that he would take a
vacation and get Cooper to teach him
what law is. They waxed warmer in
their remarks and went to the hall,
where they exchanged few blows,
when to peacemakers, G. B. Putney
and Wales Madden, also attorneys in
the case, separated the two fighting

The old habit of swearing off" on
New Years day has possibly borne
some good fruit in a few instances,
but as a whole it is a dismal failure.
The cause for its failure is due to the
fact that it is built upon the princi-
pie known in philosophical parlance
as the principle of negation. The an
clients are all guilty of accepting a
religion that is founded on this prin-
ciple. Briefly stated the principle of
Nnegation is the "thou shalt not" that
is found in all creeds and religions
that have ever been promulgated,
with the exception of Christianity.
We find that this idea is still prev
alent in all quarters of the globe,
among every people and kindred.
Christianity is the "do," not the
t"don't" religion. Its tenants are
builded upon the principle of positiv-
ity. With but few exceptions the Sa-
vior sought to teach men to become
creatures of positive power, not crea-
lures that restrained their powers. To
put the powers Of the soul to the ac-
complishment of positive good, not
merely to refrain from the commits
sion of negative evil. The idea as I
understand it, which the Savior

meant to teach was to get the habit
Of doing good. This within itself
will eventually keep ones time SO fill
ed and mind SO centered that there
will be no time nor room for the COM
mission of evil deeds.
The mental habit to be ever on the
outlook to find something good to do
is thousand times preferable to the
habit of looking for things not to do.
We are not so apt to be enchanted
with the evil thing that it is good
idea to keep the mind contemplating
only the good things that are all
around u.s. The man that is constant
y doing something for the world is
of infinite more value than the fellow
who is trying all the time to keep
from doing something against it. The
one is positive force, the other a
negative force.
No man was ever disappointed in
the accomplishment of something for
his fellow man but the world is full
of the sorrow that has come to those
who have merely lived passive, un-
eventful life. 81 must be up and

more sublime resolution than for the
Savior to have said 81 must not do

are many who are tied down with
fearfully bad habits that ought to be
broken, still the easiest way to break
a bad habit is to begin doing the oppo-
site, find something else TO do. In
this way you accomplish two things
you break the bad habit and you
form the good habit. By this pro-
cess both yourself and your fellows
are benefited. Don't merely swear
off a bad habit, "swear on" good
one.

FORD TURNED OVER
SUNDAY EVENING

more serious.
Blakemore was driving the George

make the turn onto Ninth when a
casing blew out and the car skidded

thrown clear of the car, or they

"A HOUSE

One of the most unfortunate and regrettable incidents of the
two campaigns, primary and general, was the injection of state
into the battle of the ballots. This took on different
forms but was generally a cry of North and South" in some form
or other, with the bugbear "Union Pacific domination" tossed in
for good measure.
During the primary campaign at least one candidate based
MS claim for Republican support on the sole plea that he lived in
and represented the northern" part of Wyoming. Notwithstand
ing the fact that all tickets presented to the voters had the candj-
dates well distributed geographically, the false claim of Union Pa
Icific rule was brought prominently to the front as a means of
defeating John W. Hay for Governor.
Full page advertisements appeared in the Casper newspapers.
reading as follows:
WARNING! Don't drive nails in your own coffin by
voting for John Hay; this will mean Union Pacific rule
for at least four more years and ruin for the central and
northern parts of the state.
Remember how Mr.. Hay villified and crucified Gov
ernor Carey?
If you are a booster for your own home and county.
vote Tor VIM. u. Ross; we have examined his record and
find him One Hundred per cent for the people. We have
the facts and find that he has better than an even break,
Vote for whoever you please on the different tickets:
but do not let the Union Paficic rule Wyoming on account
of partisan politics.
This cowardEy stab in the back was fathered by twelve of
|Caspers leading financial men who want fsatrona county to have
work had the moral or physical courage to sign the advertisement.
Nobody in Casper or elsewhere really believed that there w a
the slightest fear OF Union Pacific domination of state affairs "
mat ancient fetish was used effectively in the dim and distant
past when the southern row of counties in Wyoming extended to
the Montana line, and when the railroad mentioned was really
taking part in state politics, but it has long since been nut aside as
pelng no longer truthful or even sensible.
1t will be a sad day for Wyoming, standing as it does on the
Drink OF an era OF unprecedented development, when NORTH. and
South and East and West lines are sharply drawn, in politics or
IN any other line OF endeavor. The Republican, however. does not
anticipate that this will ever. come to pass to a dangerous extant

WE ARE HERE TO SERVE

One of the remarks most frequently heard during the past
ten days is: well the election is over at last" A sigh of relief,
more or less fervent, was invariably concealed in the bromide OBJ
serVaton, which, however, is but natural, for the people of Wyom-
ing have been compelled, for the last eight months at least, to de-
vote a considerable part of their time to the selection of county and
state officials, which was finally accomplished on November Z.
This waste of time is due to our clumsy and complex election
methods so that it is little wonder that a dstaste or even disgust
for politics is so frequently expressed by good citizens, many of
whom go to the I'M American extreme of neglecting to register and
vote. Our election laws sorely need a thorough revision, which
VIII simplify the process of electing men and women to public of

During the campaigns Just closed The Republican has con-
sistently supported the nominees of the Republican party, in a
clean and honorable manner, without recourse to personalities, ex-
cept as absolutely necessary, and has nothing to retract and no
apology to offer. To the winners, of whatever party, we extend
congratulation and to the losers, coincidence.
After the people have chosen officers to conduct their bust

rancor and get behind and support such officers in every way. for
the common good, and this The Republican hereby pledges itself

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

Tonight at the City Hall, the Mayor and Board of Trustees
are expected to consummate the sale of 100000 water bonds,
which were enthusiastically and almost unanimously approved and
authorized by the voters of Rawins at the recent election. The
Republican wishes on this suspicious occasion to repeat the state
ment which has frequently been made in these columns that the
question OF a new and better, as well as more ample, supply of do
mestlc water is the most important one with which the taxpayers
have been confronted since the day when this city was but a clus
ter of shacks lowering along the right of way of the new" rail
road.
Without plenty of pure water for drinking and domestic use
and for identifying the city with lawns and trees Rawlins could
never hope to grow and develop to an extent that the wonderful
natural resources of this region would otherwise make inevitable.
Thus the water bond election was in reality a test of whether the
city was to go forward, remain dormant, or go backward. The
emphatic verdict of the people was FORWARD
Now that the most absolutely essential city problem has been
settled and settled right, there is but one course open and that is
for every citizen to enlist for the common good. forget past differ
ences and all pull together for Rawlins. Merely because we have
a new water system assured, one or more refineries building, tank
farms, pipe lines, a rich agricultural and stock raising territory
and the best transcontinental railroad, is no sign that we should
sit down and calmly fold our hands. Rawlins needs a number of
radical improvements, which will be mentioned from time to time
IN The Republican. Somebody toes may get stepped on and their
feelings hurt, but Rawlins needs these improvements just the
same.

 Signed by Pima

TUCSON, Jan. 19.-The point on the Tucson-Ajo route most susceptible to losing the road has been eliminated by erection of road sign 49 miles out by County Engineer w. c. Le- febvre. Complaints had been receiv- ed from Aio that many motorists mis- took the road westward to Indian Oasis for the Ajo road which forks south and Lefebvre erected a road sign which will do away with an mis- takes by motorists, he states.
 Eighty-ene road signs bearing the legend "Aio-Tucson" are being pre- pared by the county highway depart ment to be erected at various points along the route where the road forks and may be mistaken for branch roads. Lefebvre declares there are that number of doubtful forks on the route between Tucson and Ajo and that the stenciled sheet metal signs will be attached to iron posts as quickly as the highway department is able to complete the work.

 He took exception to Miss Gardens management, not on the ground that she Is woman, but because she is a singer and director.
 The French tenor voiced his re- sentiment that Miss Garden had sa,u in statement last night that the Chicago opera company was to be under American dictation" and that foreign dictation was a thing of the past" He also denied that he had asked unreasonable favors, disclaimeo any aspiration to the opera director ship, and said he preferred to return to the Chicago company next year, providing Miss Garden is not the df rector

PIMA DELEGATES
 TO ROAD NEE I
 WANT NEW RULE
Will Demand That Bankhead Be Designated as Primary
 Highway Through State

TUCSON, Jan. 19.-That the Pima county representatives at the annual convention of the Arizona Good Roads association in Nogales January 23 and 24 should propose resolution objecting to the failure of the high way department to designate the southern route through Tucson as primary road in the Arizona system was the sense of opinions expressed by the roads committee of the cham Der of commerce in a meeting We'd nesday morning.
 The purpose of the meeting was to formulate plans regarding the No gales convention, and this was car ried out fully, an estimate, being made of the number from this city who will attend. It was learned delegates will represent the Rotary club, Kiwanis club and city and county governments besides a large number of individuals.
 A joint mass meeting of Pima coun- ty delegates to the convention was called by the committee to be held Friday afternoon at o'clock in the chamber of commerce, when all the issues likely to be brought up will be tentatively discussed and policies for the entire representation probably decided upon.
 One of the points upon which the local delegates will insist at the con- vention will be the placing of Tucson, Douglas and Bisbee upon the primary highway system of Arizona. Another may involve the indOrsement of the Bankhead highway as it is now out lined through Phoenix and southern points in the state.
