At Wash- ington it is expected that plans will be launched to erect a memorial monument to the most patient and self-sacrificing, the most nearly di- vine beings en earth—our mothers. Once in a great while there are bad mothers, of course. But by and large mothers assay higher in pure gold than any other human ore. The day, therefore, takes on an essentially national significance. It 4s fitting and proper that some great monument he erected at the nation’s capital to epitomize the indomitable spirit, the glorious gen- erosity, the tender gladness, of those who might well be called The Race. For of them comes The Race. But do not let plans for some dis- tant monument prevent you from celebrating Mother’s Day it should celebrated. If you can not spend it with your moteh, see that she knows you remember it if she be living. If you can not afford to wire her some flowers or send her some token of your affection, at least be sure you write to her. Many a son and many a daughter forgets; but a Mother always re- members. Through the dim ages before the animal called man came to dwefl upon this earth, the Mother instint, protecting, caring, harboring, yearning, was a vital force—the most vital force in pav- ing the way, perhaps, for the com- ing of mankind and the advance of humanity from the genus emempli- fied by the Piltdown Man and the Neanderthal Man to his present comparatively civilized condition. Mother’s Day should go down as more of a national institution; and doubtless it w It is yet young, but even now it strikes the softest and most reverenr chords to which the human breast may respond. Give it the glory and prestige of make it will or festivals years of established favor, holiday, and it other a national should save Christma Remember your own mother to- day. Spend the day with her if you can. You are very lucky to be able to. Sce that she knows you remember her if you can not. all eclipse HERE IS PROGRESS The news that Casper is definite- ly to have the new railroad and also is to have 24-hour telegraph serv- ice from the ern Union com- pany gi y two good causes for rejoicing on the same day. Not thet the importance of a’ telegraph office which is always open js to be compared with the assurance of the and South Railroad in importance. But the announce- ment of W. G.» Murphy that the local Western Union office will in- augurate such n service is to be greeted with loud cheers, convenience long neede: ' Yort , the lack which frequently worked real hardship to business, to say noth- ing of its importance in the life br death matters of ind " When C. 8. Lake, kell’s person presentat ° ve an nounced who will the man railroad had “ {culmination of the railroad plans ) | Governor Haskell for the support} Tt is a} wired acceptance of the Chamber of Commerce’s proposition it clinch- ed definitely Casper’s future prosperity. The Tribune has al- ways been in favor of the new road, as is generally known, both because |it meant untold prosperity for Cas- per itself and because it would tre- mendously benefit the whole state, No state which is next to the bot- tom in point of population could afford to pass up another railroad, particularly a North and South line. And no city as large as Cas- per could afford to pass it up, \ either. ° | The Chamber of Commerce and} |the business men who made the possible are to be congratulated. They have done the city a great service, which will redound to their credit in years to come. Mr. Lake has already expressed his ap- |preciation on behalf of himself and accorded him here, and the final} papers are signed, sealed and de- | livered with mutual admiration and] [respect for both sides. Governor | Haskell will deliver the railroad We will deliver the right-ofsway, terminal site, and other induce- ments. * A roseate horizon is stretched around us. Casper’s sun is just com- ing up, if there is any safety in prophecy. With our great natural |resources, and the benefits which are bound to come from being the | central point on a new railroad which will eventually connect, it seems more certain, than the two trunk lines of the Chicago, Milwau- kee & St. Paul and the Union Paci- fi,c, we can look forward to a “Denver Plus” slogan for some |time in the future. Casper will grow rapidly; even more rapidly} than she has during her phenomenal spurt of the past few years. She will be even more than she is today, the jobbing center of a vast district and the metropolis of the state. Yesterday was a great day for| Casper. She has greater days in store. PLAYFUL MURDER The gruesome bones of what was once a boy—Leighton Mount— |have been found near Chicago, and identified as that of the youthful student who was killed in a class “rush” nineteen months ago at Northwestern University. Northwestern University, of course, is shocked. It has banished “for all time” class rushes and class wars. But more than that is needed to break up the tribal bat- tles which go on at some American colleges under the name of-hazing jand “class spirit.” The legislature of Ilinois might do well to take cognizance of this to the extent of putting something on the statute books which will prevent a recur- rence of such a tragedy. The law need not be too strict. Boys in our institutions of learn- ing want more than mere book knowledge. They want good clean sports, friendships, “smokers,” song and laughter, time to enjoy the companionship of their fellow stu- dents, and a few brief moments to be given to “cramming” for ex- aminations. They will play pranks; you can't stop that, and no fair- minded man who remembers his own youth would do so if he could, But the “college prank” of murder, mayhem, manslaughter and feloni- ous assault ought to go ence and for all. | TRIM THE FLAG? There aro patriotic souls to whom improving the American flag might seem like painting the lily. Can an added beauty be given to the most beautiful of banners? The discov- Jery of the Fine Arts Commission |that it is too long in proportion to its width to be artistic is a reminder that patriotism does not necessar- lily exemplify aesthetics. | The flag which so proudly we jhailed at the twilight’s last gleam- ing and likewise in the dawn’s early light has flown, nevertheless, in de-| |fiance of the canons of art. Instead of the ratio of length to breadth of }1-67 to 1, which the commission| recommends as correct, it has long| jembodied the false proportion of| 1.90 to 1. Freedom, to be sure, when first she tore the azure robe of night to make Old Glory, was not so regard- ful of the niceties of artistic pro- portion, Very likely Betsy Ross never went to an art school. This is very unfortunate indeed. Betsy |should have known better than to| make a flag like that, all out of pro-| jportion, ‘neverything! But instead of trimming it, which will salve the bruised sensibilities of the Fine | Arts Commission, let it stay as it is, Some 110 odd million persons will not know the difference. “Wanted—Boy, must not be less than 156 years old,” says a Want Ad, That is the boy Ponce de Leon was looking for, unless by chance it happens to be Methuselah’s grand- son. | The “marathon dishwasher’ dis-| | covered in the east will always be sure of a job—w a lot than can be said for the marathon dancers. Cheyenne fo Lay First Paving Soon CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 12.— Mayor Ed. P.

BY JOHN HANDSHAKER Special Casper Correspondent. (Alias Weed Dickinson.) EADERS: Well, Readers, |r Prince, says Meet My Secretary! I am certainly} the Hardest Luck Bird that is ever) seen since the Ichythaurus becomes Extinct; and if you study Natural History you will remember the Ichy- thaurus is a very Tough Luck Bird Indeed, because it Dies, you will re- call, by Wringing its own néck try- ing to Sratch {ts Back! However, compared to me the Ichythaurus is very Fortunate and just a Fool For Luck, I will say! Was Luck Salt, the Dead Sea and the Deader Atlantic Ocean will be just nice Table Water for me! Well, I am always tn trouble. I remember one day back in New York I am around the offace aitting at my tipe writer and thinking how can I best spend my time and Look like I am really working without Doing Anything, when the City Editor comes in and says I can Hobble Right Out on a story. He says there is a Egyptian Khedtve, or Prince, which just lands here in the city right Off the Boat, as we bootleggers has it; and that he 1s Dirty with Dough and has got a ex-Prize Fighter for a secretary. Go down, he says, and get a Talk with the Prince, and do not Forget the ex-Prize Fighter, he says, ‘Well, this City Editor ts certainly a Sap, Reader, because it is a Lively Chance that I will forget the ex-Prize Fighter, belleve me. In the first place it 1s something of a Sensation, as we reporters is won't to remark, for a Khedive, or Prince, to have a Fighter for a secretary—even a ex- Fighter; because Fighters get so much Dough these daze that they usually Hire the Khedives, or Princes, as Secretaries. Well, I am very pleased to go down and talk with this Bird; but I should know there would be no Luck in it for me, at that. However, I do not know what 1s going to happen, or I would never go there at all; so being Trusting Sap I take it on the Lam down to the Hotel where this Khedive, or Prince, is staying while in New York. Well, Reader, I am figuring out on my way down there that it looks like a good Spot for me to Step Right Out of this newspaper bigness at that. 1 do not think much of the Game any-| way; there is getting to be too many Press Agents in it. And I can not think of any Softer Job than being Secretary to a very wealthy Khedive, or Prince, which does not know the customs of this country and could be aken for a large Amount, hey? here is no Softer Job than that, I guess; accept perhaps trying to Lower Rip Van Winkle's Record at good fat Sallary from the Ouster- more People. It ought to be a Easy Job to get away from a ex-Prize Fighter, I am figuring; because such a bird will not be much of a Secretary! This Pug wil probably be making a lot of ial Fore Paws, as we Frenchmen as it, which will get the Khedive, or Prined, in very wrong with the Best People. I will tell this to the Khedive, I figure. This Baby prob ably figures R. 8S, V. P. on the bot- tom of a Invite is a Monogram, I think to myself! A fine guy-to be a Secretary, I am thinking! Why he will probably Steer the Prince down to Madison’s Square Garden and tell him it 4s the Rockerfeller Institute hey? : ‘Well, I figure I will make a good impression on the Khedive, or Prince, so I blow right up and say Hi, Prince, I say, I am thinking at first that ! about the Burlap on his ex-Ancestors, probably should say something Nice or something; but then I get to figur- ing that perhaps a Khedlye, or Prince, is kind of Sensative about things Uke this, because the best he can hope to be Eventually ts ao Mummy! So I do not ninke any Mortuary Cracks, or ask about King Tut, but just say Hi, Prince, and ark him What He ‘Thinks 6f Pro hibition, of course, and such topics as those, including the Weather and Hew He Likes America, Well, we get along fine until I Brooch the subject about taking the job as his Secretary, and just then a Big Brulzer comes in which has got , s Bye, a set of Faults Te and a couple of Tough Hands! is not a Beauty, exactly; but he Ic Adequate, at that! Well, the Khedl | | ] and Bodyguard—so I meet him. ‘We talk a little while and 1 ] the Khedive, or Prince, that. " thought this guy was only a Secre- tary; but he says No, he is also a Bodyguard. Well, I tell the Prince it ts all right with me, as I do not mind Hard Work where the Emul- sion, or Pay, {s Right. I will take the Bodyguard Job, too, I say, al- though I am prim: However, the Khedive says that this Bruizer gets the job of Secretary and Bodyguard by being the Tough est Guy in Egypt; and am I tougher than he ts I can have the job, he says. I can have it if I Fight Him for it, he says, Well, I tell the Khediye I will Write Him for it, instead; because that is better as a Test for a Secre- tary, anyway; but it seems he wants a Bodyguard, too, and will have None of my Idea. He says no, I must Fight for it do I want it, and he says wait a Minut until the Bruizer takes out his Glass Eye and his Faults Teeth and Sofourth,- and sets Stripped for Action. Well, Reader, right there I get Idea—because I want this job very Badly Indeed—but I wish now I do! not get the Idea at all! I figure that if IT act Quick, before this Bruizer sets his Spare Parts put away, maybe I will be able to Put Him away himself, In Toto! So I jump up and make a Pass at the ex- Fighter, and then I swing One from the Floor! But I miss, Reader! And I give you my words, this guy the way he Fights is not a Bodyguard. He is a Mudguard! I am all over the Floor like .Linolium in no time, and I look Uke I had been trying to get a De- cision off of a Mafl Truck! I will say this Babby is a Bruizer, all right! Well, I do not think much of this Prince now, Reader. In fact I think the Lid should be Clamped on All Princes which visit this Republic. The Khedives of Egypt should be! permanently Closed, hey? Jagged on Canned Heat)» ot SHERIDAN, Wyo., May 12—*“Can- ned heat jags,” a favorite aversion of youths of Cheyenne and Casper, appeared for the first time in Sheri- [dan this week, according to Federal |Prohibition Agent Bruce Hodge and Chief Ole H. Pointer. ; Several youngsters in an intoxicat- |ed condition have been taken into leustody the past few days, officers jclaim, and under pressure acknowl- edged that the source of their drink |supply was cans of their mothers’ |canned heat,” a solidified alcohol preparation for chafing dishes, hair }waving outfits, ete. | According to the story told by the boys, “canned heat" will produce two j distinct types of jags. The first_is ‘produced by dissolving the heat in water and drinking the resulting so- |lution, and the second by chewing |the waxy substance itself, The lat- ter is said to be the much more dan- | Serous practice, and in the opinion of j1nedical men the intox!cation produc- [ed is very Mke that from the lowest |srades of moonshine, “white mule.” | | ees | Injured in Car Wreck KEMMERER, Wyo., May 12.— | What came very nearly being a | fatal accident occurred just east of Fossil Sunday afternoon when a Ford! roadster driven by Marion Merritt, part owner of the hotel of that place,! turned over on the road between Fos- sil and the Wade ranch.

C. M, hospital where at this time he ts slightly im-| proved. He has been partia'ly! paralyzed since the acc'dent but this condition seems to be relieved to a slight extent.
