Prairie Dog route The distance from
Miles City to Sheridan via Prairie
Dog creek is l54 miles, which is the
utmost limit that can be operated as
a division. II the road We're built
through the city via Tongue river.
the distance would be increased 10
162 miles. which is too long for a
division. and IL that route should
have been adopted. IL would be nee
e ssary to establish u division point
somewhere near the Montana state
line. and TO abandon nny plan Of CIV
ing Sheridan a division point
1T is my judgment, based on 40
years experixace from laying ont
and building railroads, that Sheridan
will be much better off with the rail
road located in Prairie Dog valley
and with the natural growth 6 tho
city in ten years. every citizen will
be glad that TIE line does not run

Pooling the Doctors

REALLI wasn't it the most senselcss hoax Won
y ever heard of, the Lyons girl ut Escanaba
Mich, pulled on the doctors and her friends. IL
was so simple it was foolish. Hero was a 30-year.
old spinster exciting the medical world at II dis.
tance, for a period of three weeks by maintaining
a temperature of ia, although her general health
otherwise indicated normally.
When the word went out from Esc1nnba the pa
tient was a wonder. 1t was the duration of the
temperature that had the scientists guessing. They
accepted 1t as real, from where they were all over
the United States, and the country doctor in at
tendance continued to feed bulletins to the world
respecting conditions at the bedside every few
hours.
all the while the sick spinster was laughing into
the sleeve of her mighty, if nighties have sleeves,
which fact the bulletins neither confirmed nor
denied.
The alleged patient had been a nurse in her time,
and was familiar with clinical thermometers. She
had concealed in her bed a small hot water bottle
covered with material of the same color of her nigh
robe. When her temperature was taken by the doc
tor she feigned a coughing fit and managed always
to place the thermometer bulb upon the hot water
bag, the heat from which would send the mercury
ia but that remained the average temperature
Finally a member of the American Medical As
sociation could stand the strain no longer and jour
neyed to Escanaba and exposed the young ladys
trick.
The pathological fraternity, the country over, is
now enjoying the joke, and the poor foolish girl is
overwhelmed with humiliation, while the local
doctor has come down with a severe case of chagrin.

Speaking of the Senatorship.

THE L STORY of going away from home to
l. hear the news is impressed by thu Washington
Times announcement that Frank Mondell, who
but a few days since retired as a member of Con
gress, after a service of w~enty-six years, and upon
his retirement became one of the directors of the
War Finance corporation, would be a candidate for
United States senator for Wyoming for the seat of
Francis Z. Warren, whose term expires in March,
1925.
The Washington newspaper does not make its
statement authoritatively, yet it bears the evidence
of Inspiration by the friends of the former house
leader. To our knowledge, Mr.. Mondell has ut
tered no word on the subject. He was a candidate
for senator at the recent election, opposed to Sem
ator Kendrick, and was unsuccessful. Why his
friends should think his chances would be better
in 1924 under conditions that will exist next year,
We are uniformed.
There is no reason to speak in whispers about a
matter of this sort. 1t is a Republican party mat
ter, and Mr.. Mondell or any other candidate may
as well look the situation squarcly in the face.
For one thing, there is the old geographical ques-
ton settled in 1916, and so far as any one is able
to judge, a party political settlement, it is for all
future time. This geographical matter means one
senator from the north, the other from the south,
with the member Of congress from the central sec
ton, or any modification of the senatorial and
congressional arrangement that may seem advis-
sble in fairness of distribution to the three sections
of the state.
For another thing, Senator Francis z. Warren
has not indicated any notion of retirement, OF II
he has, notice has not reached HIS friends in Wyo-
ming.
Then there is John W. Hay Of Rock Springs, who
IN 1915 Withdrew as a candidate Tor senator IN
company with Mr.. Mondell, TO induce Mr.. Warren
to again become a candidate and give the country
the benefit Of his long experience as the head Of
the military affairs committee of the senate, when
this country entered the war. II is not believed
that John w. Hay is going to sit quietly by the
fireside the remainder of his life.
And again there is Robert d. Carey, who has Just
retired as governor of Wyoming. Governor Carey
is the youngest man of the group. He is not n
gutter at his age and his friends have already
tossed his hat into the senatorial ring, expecting
him TO follow il.
1t looks like n race among real thoroughbreds at
this moment, which Is what the Republican party
likes to see. They will all be in distinguished com

Take It and Lick the Spoon

DIRECTLY or indirectly, Germany will have to
IL find a way to satisfy the demands of France
under the Versailles treaty which she signed in
good faith. She is getting no sympathy and will
certainly secure no help from other nations by the
attitude she has assumed toward her obligations.
And IL she persists in causing bloodshcd it is all
upon her own head.
Whining and lying never got an individual out of
a hole, and it is not going to get a nation out of a
bad situation.
If Germany cannot come down to earth, face the
music, play square and be decent. and try and
forget her past rotten behavior, she will simply
have to take what is Justly coming to her. Every
day she is making a lot of good Americans regret
that the allies were so lenient at the close OF the
war and that they we're not permitted to go on to
Berlin and hand the Germans n dose of the same

ParaIyzing transportation

MO ONE CAN explain why railroading is not a
" business just as much al banking manufacture
ing and merchandising.
No one can explain why railroads should not be
run as any other business by trained railroad men,
instead of 40 state and federal commissions and
by 40 state and federal legislatures,
In the recent congress there were 134 bills deal
ing with the railroads. A few of these may have
had merit and may be necessary and constructive.
But the larger number, instead of aiming TO
help the railroads render better service to the pub
lie would in effect hamper them and be destructive
of their efficiency.
Tho next congress viii doubtless have an addi-
tional flood of prosecution bills" some of them,
no doubt more radical than anything heretofore
presented and If the signs Of the times are read
correctly there will be more numerous and urgent
hackers of such harmful legislation.

Why Is 1t Thus?

NO LEGISLATOR, no reformer, no jealous NOR
" alist, will admit that he is intolerant. Yet
there is intolerance in this country; intolerance
practiced by good and earnest men and women
who sincerely believe that what they think Is
wrong because they think so, and who, therefore,
feel called upon to make the rest of the country
believe as they do.
An earnest group in Massachusetts is trying to
pass n law making any Sunday activity illegal,
whether 1t be bread selling or checker playing.
Utah has been jailing men who smoke cigarets In
public. Kansas has long had an anti.cigaret sell
ing law, and is now discussing whether it isn't
a crime even TO own a cigaret. The New York

Still Many Partridges.

It-seems that the open season on
cartridges and prairie chickens
did no harm to those game birds.
Every traveller reports seeing doz-
ems of them along the highways
every day. While the five-day
open season saw the slaughtering
of hundreds, yes thousands of
cartridges, still they appear to
be just as numerous and tame as
prior to the opening day. Prairie
chicken are plentiful, and with a
moderate winter, next season will
see this country a game paradise
for the sportsman. Many hunters
are now sescuring bird dogs for
next years opening days when
the sport will wax fast and fur
ious.
