No city should rest patient under con- ditions that breed evil. Its citizens and its public officers should join hands and together eradicate the main causes and by careful direction of the people induce them to pursue another course. Laramie has a double responsibility, for in her care are not only her own young men and women, but she is also charged with the care of the prom- ising young people fro mall over the state, and other states, who are there to attend the univer- ‘The Republican, fully sensible of conditions, | expresses itself in these words: | “Tt is not as pleasant, however, to turn to some ugly rumors which are abroad with reference to moral conditions in this fair city of ours. It is commonly asserted by many that within a few months, because of failure to enforce law, a state of affairs usually found only in pioneer days and boom towns, has come into existence right here in Laramie. These same people charge that this city is nothing more or less than ‘a wide open town.’ In other words, it is alleged that liquor can be bought in many places, that gambling is tolerated, and that houses of ill fame are allow to be run. The Republican knows that it voices the sentiment of the people of Laramie when it says that if such conditions exist they must be stopped immediately. This is not a political ques- tion, but one of morals, of the good name of the city. The laws are plain, the officers of the law are charged with their enforcement. The public opinion of the city demands that this enforcement be immediate, vigorous and effective. The Re- publican, further, is sure that this plain speaking will result in whatever changes are necessary, and that if any conditions exist, which form the basis for the ugly rumors that they will be removed instantly. It is axiomatic that Laramie must not only be a clean town, for the sake of her own children, but doubly so, because as hosts, we in- vite here the young people of the entire state. Laramie has always been one of the cleanest towns in Wyoming and it must always remain so. That is fundamental and vital.” ee ACRES SP Ea THE OLD STORY OF SI Within the next ten days the wires will carry out of Ardmore, Oklahoma, the details of a murder trial that will bring to the light of day family skele- tons and scandals that none but the morbid will care to hear about. The dissolute life of a sud- denly-made oil millionaire will be told in the sworn testimony of witnesses for the woman who is fighting for her life and freedom, having, it is alleged, ended the life of the man in question as the natural sequénce to several years of relation- ship disapproved by both moral and statutory law. To the shame of the country and the commu- nities into which this putrid mess will be dis- tributed, there is no way to prevent it so long as trial courts are open and newspaper enterprise continues to flourish. It is a common enough scandal. Every com- munity has its own. It is fortunate’for the pub- lic, however, that they all do not result in tragedy, else press wires would carry little else in their daily report. It is possible that public opinion will some day turn against the publication ‘of these nauseating particulars of human depravity in the interest of general morality. AMS A ye THE RUGENICS LAW The so-called eugenics bill passed by the recent session of the legislature has been signed by the governor and will be entered upon the statutes. In brief the provisions require physicians’ certifi- cates to be filed in advance of applications for marriage licenses, certifying freedom from secret diseases, _--——--15 and 1€ ig All Departments EEE Entered at Casper, (Wyoming) Postoffice as second-class served. The trouble will not be with those free of disease but with those who are unable to qualify. The loopholes will be found in the ability to se- cure certificates regardless of the law’s provisions. The ease with which brides and grooms may journey into an adjoining state where such laws do not exist, will put the local law out of com- mission. The plan cannot work successfully with- out uniform state laws or a national law on the subject of marriage. Notwithstanding the fact that the new law is designed for the public good and benefit of the human race its constitutionality is a very close question. THE WELCOME TO WOMEN The first of its kind and a very important or- ganization to the organized Republican interests of the country, is the Women’s National Republican Club, with its headquarters in New York and its membership scattered throughout the nation. Al- ready its roster.contains approximately a thousand names of widely known and active Republican women. The only qualification is allegiance to the Republican party. The club met with the most cordial approval and was the object of many congratulations by the numerous men’s organizations throughout the country, and among the most significant from Re- publican leaders was the communication by Gov- ernor Miller of New York, who condensed into a few paragraphs the entire situation of change, within the past few years in the east. Governor Miller said: “The advent of women in political affairs should bring, has already brought, I believe, a new and wholesome influence to bear on the welfare of the nation, state and municipality. In particular, it is to be expected that the keen interest of women in the prcz-tvation of the purity and integrity of the home will kindle alike interest in the purification and elevation of a related sphere—that of govern- ment. “Allow me to praise the wisdom which leads you to avoid the semblance of non-partisanship and to ally yourselves openly with one of the two great political organizations. By such a step you strengthen that system of political action which the experience of this country has approved because it has been found most favorable to the develop- ment of well defined policies and their practical realization in government. By such a decision you avoid the danger of scattering your energies or wasting your efforts in the pursuit of vagaries, c theories, or such doubtful projects as often appeal to the small group or minority. “Nothing can be more injurious to the upright- ness and independence of legislatures than the con- trol of legislative action by irresponsible agencies intent on forcing the passage of measures, not yet approved at the polls, by playing upon the fears or personal ambitions of members. Need I say that the maintenance of the uprightness and inde- eq|Pendence of legislators is of the very essence of representative institutions? Let members of a legislative body be persuaded that they are no longer responsible to the people but must look for support and continuance in public life to small or- ganizations, and popular government fails. “Finally, members of the Women’s ‘National Republican Club, by associating yourselves with a great political party, of a record magnificent for achievement, you put away the suggestion of form- ing a woman’s party, and you condemn the asser- tion that the real interests of men and women un- der a government like ours can be in antagonism, or that either sex can seek any legitimate object der the political system which have witnessed the immense progress of American institutions.” PROGRESS IN PHILIPPINES In the twenty years of our occupancy of the Philippine Islands we have taught more natives to read and write the English language than Spain and write Spanish. There are at present 750,000 pupils in the public schools throughout the islands. The Spanish regime, employing the most primitive methods afforded an opportunity to only 177,000 children. The United States has performed a mag- nificent work of civilization in this remote posses- sion and in due time full independence will be given to the island: under their own government. eS eis JUDKINS IS 0. K. W. T. Judkins is now state game and fish com- missioner for Wyoming. By act of the sixteenth legislature the offices were consolidated. During his administration as state game warden Mr. Jud- ins has made an excellent record and in the con- solidated office will do equally as well. He not only thoroughly understands conditions, is versed in wild life, but has a way of getting along with folks hat has brought personal popularity and re- spect for the laws of the state.

Mr. Bowen, who came to Weston county from Iowa four years ago, has done the work on the home- stead himself, and was only prevented from proving up last year by not having sufficient breaking done. How- ever, with a good statt and an ex- cellent piece of land, with final proof just ahead, he proves what can bo done, regardless of age on a Weston county homestead. During the time Mr. Bowen has been on the: “dried” farm he has made it produce suffi- cient for him to live, and aside from last year, which was a year of drough* all over the country, his crops have been good and considerable has becn raised above his own demands, thus giving him a margin on which to work. As the oldest homesteader in the county, Mr. Bowen is an excellent example and his methods, while old- fashioned in many instances, are pro- ducing the goods after all, which is the aim of scientific or any other kind of farming. Operates Wireless Plant (Buffalo Bulletin) Buffalo has the distinction and it is not generally known of having the most complete amateur wireless out- fit in the northern part of Wyominz. The outfit is the property of Harold Koontz, high school boy and son of iL D. Koontz of the Buffalo Saddlery, familiar to the west, but which has only occurred whe is probably one of the most effi- cient wireless operators in the ama- teur class in this state. Koontz spent the summer at a wireless school near ‘Washington, D. C., and upon his re- turn completed the wireless outfit ne now operates. Every night he re- ceives weather reports from the large wireless stations im the east and sev- eral nights ago he had the good for tune to “listen in” om ‘a conversation between the wireless telephone oper- ators of Avalon, Cataline Island, near Los Angeles, California and a steam- ed off the coast of Massachusetts. This in itself ss quite an achievement and shows the possibilities of the wireless as a means of communica- tion between the peoples of the world. Fine Gun Stock (Basin Republican) Judge P. W. Metz this week receiv. ed a Springfield rifle which he has had in the workshop of George Inman of Cody. A new stock, hand mad+ of walnut, and finely engraved, is the delight of the judge and an excellent advertisement for the workman. Mc. Inman is a member of the fast dis- appearing trible of Iriquois of New York and for generations his family has been expert in the art of which he is now the exponent. He con- ducts a curio store in Cody and de- votes his spare time to work on sun stocks. Judge Metz has one of tho finest collections of high power guns in tho west and is particularly proud of tho latest acquisition and the new stock finished for it. * Makeshift Bridge ‘) (Glenrock Gazette) Once more we are crossing Deer creek instead of fording it. Wednes- day evening the temporary wooden structure was placed in operation. Of course unless the new bond issue car- rfes, and unless the highway depart- ment spends more on it than they did the last one, and several other «n- lesses, we expect to travel over this temporary wooden structure for the next few generations. Would it not really be a queer happening if some of the tax money we pay would 20- tually be spent close to this part of the territory. Hens Get Busy (Riverton Chronicle) ‘The hens of the Riverton Valley as- sisted by a touch of spring weather, have taken unto themselves to reducs the high cost of living, and are now producing Shanghai berries at a rap- id rate. Within the past week pla- cards have been displayed in the win- dows of grocery stores announcing that eggs could be purchased at the rate of three dozen for one buck, and in one instance a placard states that WITH OUR WYOMING EXCHANGES | eytes may be had for the small sum of two bits for twelve. These prices are lower than any which can be re- membered by the oldest inhibitants of Riverton. It is said that the reason of the activity among the hen frater- nity was the placing of printed cards by the poultry association in the hen houses throughout the valley, sald cards reading: “Fresh eggs, 10 cents per dozen.” No self-respecting hea could stand for such a clam at the egg industry, consequently they -e sented the insult by flooding the mar- ket. ‘ Visits Buffalo (Buffalo Voice) A: J: Cunningham, who has cx- tensive mercantile and banking inter- ests in Casper, and who is interested in the Bar C ranch on Powdet River above Kaycee, was a Buffalo visitor the latter part of last week. He and the ‘Twidaje brothers made a trip to the Rothwell ranch to investigate some silo and silage problems, in which they are interested. Purchase Sheep Interests (Kemmerer Republican) ~ A transfer of sheep interests of un- usual magnitude, at this wise when there is so little movement or activity in the wool industry, is reported as having been consummated in Salt Lake City and Evanston. The Ches- ney flocks have been purchased by Dan Mackey, the well-known mem- ber of the Lincoln county association, for a consideration reported to have been $260,000. ‘This deal is the result of financial difficulties in which the Chesney peo- ple found themselves as a result of the slump in the wool and financial market generally, and instead of a foreclosure on the part of banks holding the Chesney notes they were discounted and taken up by Mr. Mackey, who thereby became owner of the sheep in question.
