we care little how we are governed. SPRINGFIELD (MASS.) REPUB- LICAN (Ind.)-The senate cannot accept him (Vare) into it's member ship, even on a record of lower expenditure compared with Peppers, without stultifying itself in the light of the senate resolution de- claring that "such excessive sums" cannot be spent in behalf of a candidate consistently with "sound public policy" the "honor and dig nity of the senate, and "the perpe- tuitv of a free government"
 ST. LOUIS POsT-DISPATCH. (Ind.)-When the Pennsylvania Reed patronizingly remarked that "We are no petty western state" he condoned the political prostitu- tion of Pennsylvania. To be sure, he did deplore the primary as a system which compelled candidates to pour out their fortunes and the friends of the candidates to do likewise. Granting all that, we still insist that the Pennsylvania orgy, sponsored and sinewed by the so- cial, industrial and professional elite of that state, is essentially trea- sonable and morally terrifying.
 BALTIMORE SUN. (Ind Dem.) )- On the main question-that is, whether direct primaries cost more than conventions-it may be said there are men no older than the young Senator Reed whose heads are sufficiently informed and suffi- ciently cool to have in mind the fact that sometimes colossal sums of money were spent under the con- vention system when hot contests were made for nominations. And there was less chance of the public learning the facts and rebuking the guilty. As to Senator Reeds plaint that a man of moderate means has not a chinaman's chance under the direct primary, this may be said: Every governor of Maryland since we have had the direct primary has been a poor man; before the direct primary but one poor man, Brothers, had been elected to the office in nearly two generations. It may be also noted that a very poor man overwhelmed rich machine the other day in Iowa. Finally it may be said, very en-

 Shedding to the Sea
 Another item remembered from the geography of adolescence is. of course. the ride on sleds from the ton of Madeira to the town below. A mar row read paved with the tiniest of cobblestones set closely together, leads downward in a steep and circuitous path. Wicker sleds. accommodating two or three persons. take the passen- ger downwards between the high walls of villas and gardens the sled being pulled and balanced by two sweating and suffering Maderians whose recou- pense is but shilling or so a day and who. when the journey is completed. must take their sleds on their heads and tramp slowly upward to the top of the island again.
 Shedding in Madeira would be fun were it not for the grinding labor of the two sled pullers. Theirs is a mis- erable job, for now they must pull against the weight of their load, lest the sled go too fast and plunge wildly forward and again they must pull up- ward over some sharp incline that re- quires all of their strength. No won der that the passenger stops now and again to refresh these poor devils with a glass ef wine. for water is ac- cursed in this country.
 Then stop must be made at the Church of Our Lady of the Mount. where hundred ragged and diseased beggars bear down on the traveller who comes tu see tine spot where lies the body of the ex-Emperor Charles of Austria, only short distance iron, the beautiful villa where he and his Empress and their much loved family llVed out their tragic exile in Madeira.

 Once free of the filthy hands of the band of heggars the sled ride eontin- ues downward. with stop now and then at a shop where the famous linen work of the island is displayed and at the end of an hour. the traveller alights once more in Funchal. bright and warm and gay in the sunshine. and free of the chill of the mountain top above.

The Ashes of Kings

Going ashore was no laughing mat ter again, for once more there was high tide and a threatening swell and the little boats bobbed up and down over the heavy waves of the tidal riv- CT. One enters Lisbon through high and pompous gateway crowned with statuary. So far. so good. Then the piratical taxi-driver takes one swiftly into one of the ugliest of Continental cities possessed of vast and barn-like public buildings set here and there in streets of tiled houses whose fronts are forever reminiscent of the linole- um hoorings of Harlan bathrooms
 Following the Captains recommed- dation. we made our way Co an excel lent restaurant where not a few of our fellow passengers soon joined us. An orchestra began to play. not the national airs of Portugal nor the jolly folk-songs of revolutionary people but the choice bits from that latest New York jazz success, No, No. Nan cite" Then followed a motor ride through more linoleum streets and visits to this and that great ugly pub lie building and finally we were set down before a great oilcloth church and bade to go within and see the tombs of the Portuguese kings and queens.
 This was a sufficiently gruesome visit to make even Lisbon memorable Behind the high altar of the great Cathedral which crowns one of the city's many hills is the royal mauso leum. surely one of the most undig nified and uninspiring burial places in the world. One enters by side door and sees ranged around the walls one on top of the other the actual cof fins of one or two hundred dead and gone royalties of the kingdom. In one corner rests the coffin of that Catherine of Aragon who was the unhappy queen of Charles II of Eng land. For some strange reason, Eng lishmen and visitors from all parts of the world have literally covered the easket of the Queen with their visit ing cards In the center of the room beneath high canopy. lies the body of King Carlos whom the revolution. aries killed with his heir apparent when the majority decided that an end must come to royalty in Portugal, even though it be bloody end. Above the head of the coffin hangs an electric light and the face of the dead may be looked upon by any of those visitor who have that gruesome desire. In fact. similar lights hang above many of the disordered coffins and the dc. eaying remsins may be viewed by any visitor who will give the guide a shilling. Rather pathetic IS the massive golden cofiin-not open to the public gaze-of Prince Miguel de | Braranza. whose wife was Miss Stew | art of New York and who died in the | United States some years ago, in exile Somehow. 10 two of the Presi- dente's" passengers at least, this royal touch of the macabre put on firmly the seal of an intense dislike for Lis-

no OUR CORRESPONDENCE


With the consolidation of
the two Cody papers. we wish
more than anything else to
continue and develop the staff
of country corresponds n t
which has been developed by
the Park County Herald for
many years. To that end we
hope that each of the Herald's
news writers will continue to
send in weekly letters, and
that those of the Cody Enter
prise, who are serving a field
not represented by a Herald
correspondent, will continue to
write for us.
There is no department in
a weekly newspaper which is
so much valued as that of
community news-gatherers, and
we feel very much indebted
to the loyal group of corres-
pondents who have played so
large a part in the upbuilding
of the Park County Herald,
and sincerely hope that they
will continue to submit news
letters to our new paper.

Farmers have had more advice and
less relief than a wayward son. If adj
vice sold for 10c a column, Farmers
would be richer than Bootleggers.
And when they get all through adj
vising, there is just one thingwillhelp
the Farmers. That is eliminate some
of the middlemen and let the two
ends meet. The Consumer and the
Producer are two men in America
that have never even seen each other.
Cut out the middle and tie the
two ends together.
When a steer starts from the feed
pen to the table, there is about 10 to
take a bite out of him, before he
reaches the family that pay for him.
Who wears the best clothes or
drives the best car, the fellow who
raises a bushel ofwheat, or the work
ing fellow who goes up to buy a sack
of flour! Why neither one of them.
The ones in between these two have
their private Tailor and Straight
Fights"
The Government just told Agri-

didn't offer to pull them out, but
they did say, I'VE will get down
in there with you"
l want to tell you right here, I
don't know what would have hap
pened to the poor farmer if it had
not been for his old friend, 'Bulr'
Durham. It's the only thing he has
been absolutely able to rely on. And
