R. Lathrop, M. D. Contemplate Homer R. Lathrop, M. D., arrived) at the safe and sane period of the early forties when a man is at his best. Starting out in life with a sheepskin of the size and kind Rush Medical college awards to none other than honor graduates, it is small wonder that he packed the tools of ve profession in his carpet sack and boldly journeyed +o the west. He felt himself too big. a man to re main in Illinois and in this diagnosis he was cor rect. What he most desired was a chance to prac- tice the things he had learned from the books and absorbed from the distinguished professors. Hay- ing, in the course of events, grown accustomed to the title of ML D., elsewhere, and during the same time he gained a practical insight into what was ex- pected of a physician and surgeon. The prelimin- ary chores having been all done up, you awaken on a bright sunny morning in June 1907 and find) H. R. Lathrop, M. D, in charge of the medical department of the U. S. reclamation service at Pathfinder dam. With office rent eae, ie portunities fairly good and a sign writer 0: Sie aes it was not long before you noticed a shingle swinging in the well-known Casper ureeeee pearing the legend H. R. Lathrop, M. D. There have been many successors to that first modest shingle. The Casper breezes have seen to that as the years rolled along. On an average wear_and tear of breezes, a new shingle was re- quired once a year. Then the doctor had an inspira- He tried erecting signs in several places at Now they swing from about five different ions, over the entrances to hospitals, on the stained glass doors of clinics, at the main portal of an important office building and may be in the form of a door plate at home. They all bear the original and modest legend “H. R. Lathrop, M. D. The whole thing indicates just one thing to the casual observer—H. R. Lathrop, M. Dd. has stepped right along since hanging out the first shingle in the village, now the city of Casper, Wyoming. Some of the old settlers would fain grow remi- niscent and in so doing drag forth the skeletons from the Lathrop closet, and in a raucous voice proclaim, and point the scornful finger to the fact that the doctor was once the president of the cham- ber of commerce. Other scandal mongers equally bent on slandering a good citizen who has risen nhove early mistakes in life will wrongfully charge the doctor with having at one time been the mayor of the town. The more viciously inclined will si- lently point to the fact that for a number of years the doctor was the chairman of the Republican county committee. Words are unnecessary. The crime is too monstrous. Friends of the doctor and those who admire his afivance and tt after subscription talents and skill staunchly poimt out that the doc tor has served as president of the Natrona County Medical ociation and also as president of the state medical association, is one of the three Wyo- ming members of the American College of Surgery, that he has a charming wife and two interesting children and a happy home. They offer these things in extenuation, and then inquire, what the slander- ers are going to do about it. All professional gentlemen of the temperament of H. &. Lathrop, M. D. must have some way of letting off surplus steam. The doctor is doing this by improving, stocking up, beautifying and other. Wise embellishing a ranch, where he one day hopes 10 spend his idle moments. To date he has found no considerable number of idle moments, and if the city continues to grow and people continue to de mand his services, the Lord only knows when those idle moments will arrive. However the doctor is entitled to his own particular method of letting off steam. It would be unfair to the doctor to close this short and simple annals without reporting to all newcomers in this fair and thriving city, that in the older day of the city’s history, in his haste to get about town visiting patients the doctor used but two wheels of his automobile. We are pleased to! report that he now uses all four of the wheels which comports more with the dignity of his pro. fession. “When the raspberries ripen and the buttercups nod, when the blueberries cluster on the hillsides and the water lilies lie moored deep in gold, comes August, with dusty mantle and sun-tanned face,”| raves the Minneapolis Journal. “She is freckled) and flushed, as she gathers up the days long ex- posed to the sun. The daisy that celebrated its girl hood in June has now become matronly and per-| haps a little ragged and worn from her journey through the summer. | “The garden produces enough to make any house | holder happy, but along its borders the coarser wayside flowers now app Mint, fireweed, cat nip, thistles and aster, flaunt. themselves as if in proud disdain of their earlier and more refined sisters of field and wood. The bounding impulse of life that made May and June so promising and glorious now subsides, due to the| |that is his own. He has a right that is founded while drowsy hours of calm fill August with re largely over, while the task of finishing, refining, polixhing and ripening is at hand. Nuts, seeds and bulbs are plump with plenty, as they store up food) for the future plant. The oats are ripe in the, cradle, the corn glazes in the field, while apples and pears smile with complete mellowness. “The gay songsters of the woods lower their mel- odies or sing them fitfully. A strange restfulness settles on most of the migratory birds, as they loi- ter or drift through the woods in seeming discon- |tent. Perhaps their mood finds echo in the screech of the high flying hawk. “If the swallows only chatter now, the cricket chirps like a rare good fellow. The recession of the bird chorus seems to awaken the insect harpers to |the climax of their strident melody. Twilight is filled with the monotonous purr of the crickets or the resonant rasp of the katydid. Every insect with a reed or pipe prepares to use it now and to fill August with a music peculiarly its own. “In this month nature shows a placidity ap proaching languor. Even the bees seem to be a little} tired or satiated as they fly homeward. The cows seek the covert woods. The grass crisps and the} corn blades curl as the light, lazy breezes come jand go over the drowsy fields and woods. The fret and frenzy of accomplishment are over. Now come the quiet, cestful hours of fulfillment. The} peace of August crowns the urge of June and the stress of July. And so it is well to pause and rest awhile.” Criticism of the Judiciary The punishment recently of an editor in New Mexico, for contempt of court by a judge and his prompt pardon by the governor on the ground that, the punishment was excessive, recalls a case aris- ing nearly a century ago in the federal jurisdiction of Missouri. In that case an attorney named Law- less was fined, imprisoned and suspended from practice for eighteen months for writing to a news- paper a letter in which the attorney criticised the rulings of Judge James H. Peck in a case in which the attorney had appeared before the judge in question and which’ was still pending on appeal at the time of the publication of the letter. Peck was impeached for the contempt proceedings but was acquitted by a vote of 22 to 21 because it had not appeared that he had acted maliciously, but under a mistaken sense of right, for which the tradition of the English courts seemed to lend some color of support. A federal law was then passed (March 2, 1831) to prevent a repetition of the occurrence by limiting the power of federal judges to punish for contempt. : The incident is worth recalling today, for there is a very general opinion that judiciary, unlike the legislative and executive departments of the govern- ment, is immune to legitimate criticism. This is a serious mistake, because, of all three departments, it is most important that a watchful eye be kept on judicial conduct. Judges are not a law to them- selves and their acts should be carefully scrutinized should they give evidence of judicial aberration. If for example, judicial sentences by their lenience seemed to do violence to reason and public justice, it would certainly be the right of the organs of public opinion to comment on them in the public interest, and the laws permit it (U. S. Rey. St, Section 72: It is for example, generally agreed that the exten- sion of the Volstead act to foreeign ships in our waters ,though technically within our right, never- theless constitutes an exception to the well-estab- lished custom of nations engaged in international commerce, Now the supreme court of the United States has decided that international custom and the comity of nations do not apply in the case of the Volstead act. But we are not therefore debarred from asking what essential element of the Volstead| law in itself so differentiates it from all other domestic laws as to constitute it such an exception. Would it be unreasonable or derogatory to the dignity of that court to say that unless the Vol- stead act contained an express ‘provision that the {comity of nations should not apply in its opera- tion it is impossible to understand why an excep- tion should be made in that particular case? There is a general opinion that the judiciary is practically immune from criticism, but the fact is that in a free government no department or public office enjoys such immunity, and it would be well if both the public and the judiciary itself were occasionally reminded of this important truth, Of Course It was morally certain that the senators and members of the house more recently elected upon | Farmer-Labor and other tickets would rise to the pose. Nature now pauses, surveys her work, dreams! and meditates. Summer's rush of construction is! The Legion Convention LARAMIP.—With the final plans for the conventions of the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary practically completed, the need for rooms for housing the delegates t: these conventions has already mani fested it ‘The committee now has on hand more than enough reserva- tions to fill the downtown hotels and rooming houses and must now have rooms. Any citizens who have spare rooms which they will rent for the convention are urged to phone the Council of Industry office, phone 2817. Indications are that the Legion and Auxiliary conventions will be the largest ever held in this city. The opening sessions will be called to or. der at 9:30 next Monday morning, and many of the delegates will arriye in Laramie Sunday. Already over 200 reservations have been made by dele- gates who will arrive in town Sunday afternoon and evening. ‘The decorating of the business sec tion will be completed early Sunday morning and the colored lights that are now being put up will be lighted Sunday evening. tions will be in session for two days, Monday and Tuesday. On Monday evening the joint Legion and Auxili ary banquet will be held. The ban- quet will be followed by a dance. Tuesday evening another dance will be given at the Elks’ home. Final preparations will be complete within the next two days and mem- bers of the local Legion and Auxili- ary posts are looking forward to hav- ing the pleasure of entertaining the largest convention ever held in the elty. Outing for theBéys SHERIDAN.—Every boy in Sheri- dan will hi at least one mountain outing this summer, ff the Sheridan Elks lodge has its way. The Elks Tuesday morning an- nounced plans for a picnic to be given Thursday, Aug. 28, at Story for the benefit of boys of this city who had no outing this summer. A game of hareand-hounds, a cracker-eating contest, a dinner, a program of con- tests, and a baseball game are the amusements scheduled for the day. Boys of the ages of 10 to 14 are invited. Those desiring to go are asked to visit the Elks home before 5 o’clock Tuesday, Aug. 21, for reg- istration, so that the club members may know for how many to provide transportation, food and sport equip- ment. Registration hours will be be tween 3 and 5 p, m. each day except Sunday and Monday, circus day. The boys will leave for the picnic grounds from the Elks home at 8:30 a. m., Aug. 23, in automobiles provid- ed by members of the club. A gamo of hare-and-hounds will follow the arrival at the picnic grounds. Teams will be selected by the alternate choice from a line of boys. Sacks stuffed with torn papers will be required. The comparison of those caught with those eluding their pursuers will decide the winning side. ‘The members of the winning side will The two conven-j It Happened in Wyoming Matters and Things of State-Wide Interest, Wired in, Telephoned, Written, Grape-Vined and Some of it Purloined. been arranged, to include a three- legged race, potato race, hop-skip-and jump contest, broad jump, 60-yard jash, relay race, 100-yard dash, im- ies raj nd bean team compe- Baseball games between teams formed before the day of the outing will be held following the track con tests. Commencement to Be Held LARAMTE—Commencement exercises will be held at the close of the pres- ent session of summer school for that large body of students who will be awarded degrees from the University. This is the first time that such rec- ognition of the students graduating during the summer has been made and js the result of a great deal of pressure brought to bear on the sub- ject by the officers of the student body, which prior to last summer was never organized. Dean Maxwell has cooperated loyally in the undertaking and it is through him finally that the exercises have been brought about. August 31, the last day of the term, has been set for the exercises and an appropriate program is being ar. ranged. A meeting of those who will earn degrees was called this after- noon Former president of the Universi. ty, C. A. Duntway, has been secured as speaker for this occasion. Dr. Duniway for the past six years has been president of Colorado College at Colorado Springs, having resigned last winter, and has recently been appointed director of the British di- vision of thé American University Union. He {s a splendid speaker and interested in the development of the University of Wyoming. Refuse Ranch Jobs SHERIDAN—Shutting down of con- struction camps on light grading work for the North & South railroad resulted in a congestion in Sheridan of men out of work for two days at the end of last week, according to lo cal employment bureaus, but there is as much difficulty in getting men for labor on ranches and farms now as earlier in the season. T. M. Murphy, of the Murphy Agen cy, sald Tuesday morning that men who had been laid off from construc- tion camps had refused 45 cents an hour at frrigation jobs, and tke Beckwith Agendy reports no help available for haying at $4 a day. The Union Agency experienced the same scarcity of day laborers that existed before the railroad construction began in the spring. School Bonds Carry MANVILLE.—The special election for the purpose of voting on whether the issue for the refunding bonds should carry or not was held at the Manville High school building Tues- day, August 7, between the hours of 2 and 6 o'clock p. m., and was carried with only one dissenting vote. participate in a soda cracker-eating —_— contest with a prize to be awarded.

Was from It the and To Invoke Injunction | LARAMIE.—A petition has been filed in the district court, by District | Attorney Patterson, asking an in-| junction against the owners and les-) sees of the building on First street which was recently rented to the I.) W. W. organization, closing the build-| ing because it is being operated as a! public nuisance. Injunction proceedings were started nearly a year ago but never pushed to conclusion because the building was vacated and locked up by the county sheriff. The acts of the representa-! tives of the I. W. W. occupying the building were considered a continua-| tion of the nuisance, inasmuch as} three of the members have been sum-| moned before the court within the past three or four days on charges of drunkenness, bootlegging and disturb- ance respectively, and that one of these forfeited his bond, while the other two now repose in the county Jail.
