Moss also of Bowling Green and a medical officer of the same regiment and Dr. C. C. Howard, in an reptesenting the Collins family, and Dr. W. H. Hazlett, of Chicago, stood at the mouth of the shaft while Dr, Francls was making the examination. General Denhart, Carmichael, Dr. Funkhouser and Captain Alex M Chaney and J. C. Polin were grouped around the top of the shaft when the word came up that Collins had been found. Mr. Carmichael, Dr. Funkhouser and General Denhardt walked down the track about 35 feet and Dr. Funkhouser, who had a paper pad and pencil in his hand, scribbled down a few notes, At 8:55 p. m., Captain Francis came to the surface and reported that when he arrived at the heading he found it was impossible for any one but a small man to reach Col- lins. Ed Brenner went to Collins’ body, felt the pulse, made other examina tions under Captain Francis, and reported there was no sign of respl- ration, and Captain Francis reported these facts to the officials waiting at the top of the shaft. Dr. William Hazlett of Chicago, and Captain Francis held a consul tation and reported that the infor- mation obtained by Brenner was that Collins’ condition was due to ex- haustion and exposure, and went to the heading approximately six feet from the body. Brenner continued tests to determine whether Collins was dead.

The old law was not such a bad law. It operated very satisfactorily in normal times and the proposéd law in no sense fits the unusual times existing in the present. The fact is, cutside of #trengthen- ing the old structure in minor de? tails, and postponing the enactment of a comprehensive banking act un- sibly could have ben properly done t!] another session, was all that pos- at this sersion. Two years from now, existing conditions will be entirely different and there will be the ex- perience through which we have passed to guide to better results in any law that ts placedjupon the stat- utes, We are largely through the worst that can happen and it is be- yond the power of any legislature to legislate confidence into the peo- ple. The one wise thing that will happen ‘s the avoidance of a guaran- ty act of any sort. This much we can all be thankful for, in any act that will come out of the ression. Merely as a forecast on other de- trimental legislation the resolution again submitting to vote of the peo- ple the constitutional amendment for a severance tax, now before the senate, will fail for lack of the con- stitutional two thirds vote of that body. As the proposed ‘amendment falle in the senate, the direct stat- ute bill in the house, tn all likelihood will fail of passage. As long as the oll industry is what it is in Wyoming, this theory of tax- ation is bound to excite the imagi- natién of unskilled and unknowing statesmen, seeking new, avenues for punishing enterprise. It can only be set at rest by court decision, and that will ultimately have to come. Opinions of attorneys general and of high legal talent seem not to deter the gentlemen from the rural re- gions from periodically attempting to folst such measures through leg- islatures regardless of its manifest unconstitlutionality. As a fair sample of what a branch of a legislature will do at times is senate file 20, known as the Mer- chant bill, involving price fixing. A policy found unworkable and dis- carded long ago, yet tinkered up and brought out in new garb to again fall by the wayside in aftual expert- ence. The senate passed the boob thing and In {ts sober senses {s now begging the house to kill it. It is yet too early to place a com- plete estimate upon what has been done, The real hope ts that ‘a killing mood takes possersion of the two houses during the present week, and the accumulated bills, among which there {s nothing of rea! importance, may not ever come to the sifting committee. Here ts a prediction as to the final outcome en things {n controveray in the opening of the session. It may be gloomy to the taxpayers but {t is not an improbable result, when the gav- els drop next Saturday. The unlver- sity will have about what-it has contended for, the highway will go ahead in the same old way with a half cent clipped from its gas tax, and the disgraceful and wasteful law enforcement outfit will have at-leas fifty thousand dollars of the peo- ple’s money to fritter away, and its existence will be continued for an- other two y ‘8. It is due notice to the people of Wyoming to take more pains in pick- ing the gentlemen they desire to represent them in the legislature. —_—. ELIMU ROOT 1S: OD YEARS OLD (Continued From Page One) alike. It arealiy was against Mr. Taft's personal wishes that he ran tor the presidency and was chosen to that magistracy. Mr. Taft wanted at the time, to go on the supreme bench, even at that time to become chief justice—an honor which fate had reserved for him some thirteen years later in life. Mr. Root would have been a fine justice, a fine chief justice, but remaining off the bench, he served perhaps a wider purpose. His contributions to international law and justice have formed in them- selves what the world would call a full life, Yet they have represented but a phase of the many-sided Root. They have represented the matur- ity of his wisdom in his later, years. The work he has done has been that of a man free from rancor, free from personal ambitions, and above all, free from political motive. It has so happened ‘that Elihu Root has be- longed to and been a part of the Re- publican party but in his service, especially in recent years, he can be claimed by the Democrats as well. As a matter of-fact, it is a far cry from the stalwart Republicanism of Elfhu Root to the Republicanism pro- claimed and practiced by some of the shining members of his party today. Virtually all the material honors thfit can come to a cit{zen of the re- public have fallen on the shoulders of Mr. Root. He bears the honorary degrees of a score of revered collekes and universities at home.* He has been honored by most of the better known institutions of Europe and South America. Societies of the arts and sciences have bestowed fellow- ships upon him. Giving virtually all of his life to public service, Elihu Root has reap- ed an earthly reward above nearly all of his fellow men.
