Yet that is exactly what a Denver newspaper would do in discouragement of the proposed Wyo- ming North and South railroad. It would picture the territory which the road would traverse as a barren waste, unfit as a habitation for coyotes, prairie dogs and rattlesnakes. A scene ,over which the eagles of the air wing their passage with ex press train swiftness or avoid altogether by going 4n the opposite direction. At the same time, this great stretch of country 4s the most fertile of all out-of-doors, well watered and covered with irrigated ranches capable of pro- ducing grain, forage and root crops that would stagger the imagination. Upon the highlands and wide ranges thousands of cattle and sheep feed the year round and so vast are these grazing lands that thousands more could be grazed with advan- tage. The mountain slopes are heavily timbered with fir, pine and spruce awaiting commercial use throught enterprise and development. Tributary to the route, and under the very tracks of the pro- posed route is the largest sub-bituminous coal field in the world. Absolutely undeveloped except at one point in Sheridan county. The oil fields of Natrona county are directly on the line of the proposed North and South railroad. It is no exaggeration to say that these are the greatest producing fields in the world. The wells steady and reliable in flow from the day they are brought in. The great gas fields of Johnson county will have e@ station in their very midst when the road is built. There is no more potential country in all the swest than this same stretch through central Wyo- ming. It simply lacks the ties to bind it to the outer world and bring its great wealth to awaiting markets. The day was when the splendid irrigated country of Northern Colorado bore the samo aspect as forth central Wyoming. The elements were pres- ent to make it the garden spot it now is. Transpor- tation lines did it in northern Colorado the same as transportation will do it in north central Wyo- ming. Tavy and backbiting of Colorado and Colorado newspapers cannot destroy the varied resources of Natrona, Johnson and Sheridan counties in Wyo- ming, and Big Horn, Rosebud and Custer counties in Montana and the necessity and desirability and the certain and attractive revenue of a railroad through them, connecting with the transcontinental lines of the country and supplying a market outlet for the present and future production of this vast zegion. The capitalists who contemplate the investment required know better than any Colorade newspaper blinded by prejudice of the possibilities of the country through which they have projected a rail- road and we can well afford to accept their judg- ment, and better afford to assist them than to listen to the hootings of owls in a distant wood. The Tangled Web She Weaves ENERAL DEGOUTTE may seem to be a littlo brusque in his dealing with Germany. Some may apply a litlte harsher term. But then look the German over and then back over his record in his dealings with France and think what you please, but if you were in Degoutte’s place the chances are you would not be as mild and considerate as he is. You are dealing with humanity and it is the same when considered nationally or individually. Ger- many brought all things on herself. She proved herself a liar. You cannot help dealing brusquely with a liar. There is so obviously the constant @anger of erring on the side of compassion. Noboby doubts that and France remembers it best of all, because she has been lied to most of all. , _ Doubt the wisdom of the entire French move in | the Rubr matter, if you please, Observing things from where you sit; but remember that France pro- ceeds through the atmosphere and irritating influ- ence -of lies, Germany may be telling some truth at the pres- , but you don’t know. you can’t tell and you irust her, France don’t believe her, The world can’t take her word. Germany supplies noth- ing in the way of proof. So the prima facie evi- dence is that it is a lie. If Germany would cultivate the old fashioned virtues of truth and honesty, she might get along better. eens [See ee aes Quite Too Many F COURSE they are small matters to call to public attention and of not much importance, even if some of the victims may be your own or close to you by ties of relationship or friendship, but, do you known that in the year last past twelve thousand persons gave up their lives on the altar of the automobile and ten thousand others gave up the ghost because of the altogether harmless pistol. Twenty-two thousand funerals occasione: hy carelessness mostly, on the part of the one or tims met death by intent on the part of others, still it was carelessness on the part of the law, in not providing safeguards around the ownership of pistols. Seemingly, we have grown callous to this sacri- fice of human life. it excites no horror in our mind and we rather take it as a matter of course and in the day’s news. When are we going to wake up to the situation and take means to save these lives, most of which could be saved by proper and intelligent effort. It is too great a toll. It is needless. It is criminal. There is no use saying nothing can be done. Something can be done and something ought to be done. You do not know under the present situation who will be the next victim. You should throw away your shooting irons, but you should not discard your automobile. In the latter case, you should not depend on your luck alone to get you through. You should exercise all the care and driving skill you possess on all occasions. al aes “Do It Now” Sexe OF US put off until tomorrow the things that should be done today, because today is crowded with what should have been done yester- day. As a matter of course we are always behind, like the old fashioned excursion train constantly losing time. And like it also we may finally arrive ( but it will be when everybody has got tired wnit- ing and gone to bed. It may be a'little irritating at times to keep up to the scratch, but punctuality in about everything you do is one of the best qualities you can possess and is a great time saver in the bargain. ‘There is really no other time to do a thing than right now. Don’t go to picking out the things you like to do best and do them first, and poke over the disagreeable ones to another time of uncer- tain date. In the first place the disagreeable tasks far outnumber the agreeable ones and before you are aware of it you are swamped with the kind you don’t like, and are compelled to break a rainy Sabbath in making a grand clean up. This could be overlooked if,by the next Sabbath there was not another accumulation of unfinished business to en- gage your attention and keep you from church or from a quiet and satisfactory day at home with the folks. It ough to be easy to see at a glance where proscrastination leads to if practiced as you are now doing. If you permit it to become a fixed habit, look out, boy, there is no telling where neg- ligence and carelessness may lead. There is an old copy book motto “Do it now.” Better look it up and paste in your hat. a ‘War Chests IHE SINCERITY of Democrats who howled themselves hoarse over trivial campaign expen- ditures of friends of former Senator Newberry of Michigan may well be questioned when the slush fund of New York Democracy in the recent guber- natorial campaign is examined not with a micro- scope but with the naked eye. The fund for the state election totaled $1,022,614, quite a sizable fig- ure everybody will admit, more especially so does it appear in comparison with the Republican fund of, $350,376. The figures are official, from-sworn Statements by state chairmen of the respective parties. Hypocritical sob stuff-from Democrats in the future respecting campaign war chests may as we)! be spilled upon their own shoulders or down each other's backs for all the rise they will get out of it. If the lid is to be off and future contests are to ‘be fought on a strictly financial basis, it will be bad for the country and bad for politics but the Grand Old is not the party to take a rear pew even in this sort of an argument. The Newberry jock pot was less than $200,000, yet he was sent to political coventry and holy hor- ror spread all over the Democratic party at the mere thought of the use of so much money by Re- publicans to stem the dide of the Ford millions. No, Percival, we do not think the Democrats will have anything further in the way of criticism, to offer, on the subject of political sinews of war. i 2 aye aa A National Shrine Wortzy of American ambition and tradition is the project of an American national cathedral at the seat of national government to exceed in size the cathedrals of Europe and to occupy the place in American hearts which Westminster holds among the British, as a patriotic shrine of our illustrious dead. The estimated cost is $10,000,000. Certainly a catedral realizing these combined religious and patriotic ideals would be cheap at $10,000,000. Those who have watched the leisurely | growth of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in this richest of Episcopal dioceses will feel that the Washington ecclesiastical builders have the courage of their enthusiasm for quick action.

It certain'y seems time that we should hear less of that opprobrious ephithet, “Huns.” It is a mean and contemptible practice, this ‘“‘callin’ names,” worthy only of the unfor- tunate street urchins, or the slackers of the ‘slums. Perhaps it may be well to state that the writer was from start to finish, a 24carat sympathizer with the British and French, never, for ao moment neutral. Indeed it hardly) seems creditable that any man of| Celtic blood could contemplate with indifference, the possibility of Celtic| France being placed beneath the iron | heel of the Prussians. t, Prus- sianism 1s gone, and a young republic reared on its ruins. Yet, it would seem as if some people refuse to rec- ognize the German revolution. They apparently ignore the fact, that at the very first opportunity, with the military power overthrow the great German people sent Prusstanism| flying into Hol'and and set up what is perhaps the most demacratic re-| public on earth today, a republic with a plain working man as its chief. But many persons will say that the Ger- man masses only did this because their Prussian leaders fell short in thelr career of ruthless conquest. These people evidently overiook the! fact that for over thirty years there was in Germany a party, the social democrats, only awaiting the weaken-| ing of imperialism to encompass its| overthrow. In fact ever since the) revolution of "48, there have been re-} publicans In the German states.

Judg- ing from the sentiments expressed by unfair prints, it would appear so. These emanations of unfriend'y feel- ing go for to vindicate the contention of the Prussian military clique that it was Germany, more than Prus- sianism, that the allies were sceking to destroy.

He bought him a puppy, allowing that the puppy would serve to keep his mind off of the usual emptiness of the place, when he came home at night—which it did. The man bought a young Boston bull with a pedigree as long as a | laundry bill. It was supposed to be a one man dog, to attach itse!f for life to a one and only master, and when its one and only master took it out of the basket in his library it did its best to do what it was supposed to do. It remarked, “Bowf!" and attachod itself | to its master’s pants, and would have remained there for life, only its mas- ter got tired of the arrangemént and detached it.
