DO
NOT THINK OF
knocking out another
person's brains because he
differs in opinion from you.
It would be as rational to
knock yourself on the head
Jbccause you differ from your
self ten years ago.—Horace

.PUBLIC ©PIN"ON AND LAW EN
FOUCEMENT.
It has often been said that a law,
either requiring that certain thing?
shall not he done or commanding
Jhat certain things thall he done,
cannot be enforced in a community
where the majority are opposed to
the law itself. It is true that the
person charged with the enforce
ment of an unpopular Jaw has a
job not the most pleasant in the
world and yet such opposition
generally stops at simply an open
declaration that the law should
never be enacted, but having been,
they reluctantly comply. The
greater number generally recog
nize that lnws are of general ap
plication and even though an oc
casional enactment may not accord
with the views held by the majori
ty in a certain community within
.the larger political division over
which the law becomes operative,
yet being intended for the common
good and to the interests of the
greaternumber it should lie obeyed.
Again it can hardly be assumed
that because a law is violated that
^11 those who thus disregard it are
opposed to it as a law. P'or in
stance the federal liquor law as ap
plicable to the Standing Rock and
iChevenne River reservations i?

doubt violated by someone
•within the borders of the reserva
tions nearly every day and yet
ithese same persons recognize tin
wisdom nf the act and would ap
plaud its enforcement provided
someone -other than themselves
were caught. And so it is with
rnanv other laws spoken of as un
popular. The opposition to then
is more imaginary than real.
Obedience to law is essential to
Jhe nation's stability and healthy
growth. This is a nation of law
and order and that is why every
good citizen bows to the majesty
of the law and deep down in his
heart applauds its proper enforce
jnent.
People of the western states are
always deeply interested in having
2 man occupy the post of secretary
of the interior, who is able, fair
and acquainted with western con
ditions. According to the August
Review of Reviews the present
secretary possesses all these rare
qualities. It's editor savs: "Sec
retary Lane's comprehensive know
ledge of western men and affairs is
one of the foremost assets of the
present administration. He is al
so an administrator of firm grasp,
of abounding health and industry,
and of vivid imagination associat
ed with humor and tact. He per
ceives problems constructively, ami
has the legal knowledge and train
ing to handle them in detail. Fe.v
men have ever taken up the work
of the interior department with so
high a promise of fine achievement
for the public."
Huerta has no right to ask Uncle
Sam to recognize him when so
nany of his own people refuse to
do so.—Washington Herald.

WAS W*RPING_FROM HEW
Bandy Legt of Man Watcning Fir*
Horrify Gallant Woul(M*
Rescuer
The great Chicago fire is recalled
by Mr. F. F. Cook in "Bygone Days
in Chicago," and he tells this amus
u g' story of Isaac Spear, a well
known watchmaker in the early dava.
Mr. Spear was very short, and so ab
normally bandv-legged as to attract
instant attention.
He was in the forefront of the
crowd, watching the fire, and at one
time became so absorbed in the spec
tacle that he stood at a point of im
minent danger, like one transfixed.
A kindly newsboy, alarmed at the
situation, rushed gallantly forward
and, tapping him on the shoulder,
shouted above the din:
"Say, mister, if you don't coma
away you'll burn!"
The caution not having the de
sired effect, the youngster sprang to
the rescue a second time. Once more
he gave anxious warning, and still
Isaac paid no heed.
On returning to a place of safety,
the boy, to his horror, observed the
little man's deformity. Screening
his face with his arms, he charged
again into the consuming heat, and,
while literally dragging the watch
maker to a place of safety, shrieked
in his ear:
"You must come away! You're
warping!"—Youth's Companion.
COULD BE POSSIBLE
First Babbit—I haven't seen your
brother for several days. I'm afraid
that goat ate him up.
Second Rabbit—Whj do yon think
so?
First Rabbit—I heard one of those
hunters say he found a hair in the
butter this morning.
Dogs are unerring judges of hu
man nature. Instinctively they spot
hypocrisy, snobbery and fear. It is
a wise young man who at that criti- I
cal period of his life when he is
seeking to double his expenses and
divide his income in matrimony,
takes his dog with him when he
goes courting. If he lets the dog
pick out the girl the chances are
that he will get a paragon of virtue
with no divorce coupon attached. I

LONDON CREATE8 FASHION#.
Although Paris undoubtedly has i
long been the fashion arbiter for the 1
women of Europe, London of late i
has been making rival claims in that
regard and in some instances not un
justifiable by the fact that where
British approval has been lacking
Parisian innovations have died a
speedy.death. One London dress
making establishment that pretends
to be the equal in prominence of the
most famous in Paris, is now mak
ing especially attractive and purely
British display of spring models
about which all feminine London is
talking, and it is generally regarded
that these are to be taken as
the ab
solute decrees of fashion.

WHY WORRY ABOUT THE FLY?
For Comparatively Insignificant Sum
of $10 Summer Pest May B»
Done Away With.
With a hurried, mysterious
the little man with the package ap
proached the proprietor of the Early
Bird Lunch Factor)'.
"Are you troubled with flies?" ho
asked in a confidential whisper.
"I believe the cook did say that
9 extra ones flew in this morn
ing," the proprietor replied.
"Well, sir, I have here the great
est exterminator ever discovered. If
properly used this machine will posi
tively kill every fly in the world. As
this is the last machine I have yon
may have it for the trifling sum of
$10."
The ten exchanged hands the
little man surrendered the package
and quickly disappeared.
Carefully obeying the injunction
to "handle with care," the proprie
tor opened the package. In an aban
doned neektie box lay an old rusty
hammer decorated with pink rihbon
I and tagged with this inscription:
"Incarcerate flies in a dark room,

COW NOT ALWAYS LADYLIKE
One Editor Who Will Not Follow the
Wisconsin Dairyman's Ad
vice. -s
"Treat the cow as a lady." is
advice of a distinguished Wisconsin
dairvman. the Kansas City Star re
marks. Elmer Peterson, editor of
the Cimarron Jacksonian, replies^
"We own a cow. so this advice is
verv interesting. When we go to wa
ter her she lunges at the bucket and
worries it all over the lot. hen we
bring her dainty repast of corn chop
and bran, it takes expert manipula
tion to get by and shove the feed into
the manger without being trampled
to death or kicked through the side
of her boudoir. When we milk in
the summer she seems to have the
idea that all the flies are on our face
and obligingly tries to switch them
of?. In the winter, when there are
no flies, she swats us in the eye from
force of habit. Every once in
a
while she gracefilly sidesteps an^l
stands on our foot. If the genti^
man from Wisconsin means peo[#
should not he cruel to the cow, we
are with him, but we maintain that
no true lady will net like a cow. ind
as long as our cow acts like she ioc-3
w^ll be blamed if we'll treat her
like a ladv."

Thresh When Yoy Should
Doii't depend on the custom man, board his men, feed
his engine and work when he wants, to.
Thresh your grain with a
Rumely Grain Separator
and do it when you want to. You can thresh 500 to 1000
bushels a day on your own place, with a small outfit,
and take care of your neighbors' work as well.
Rumely Separators have roomy cylinders with special teeth
that thresh all the grain from the heads, and their extra large
grates get practically every kernel—none of it goes through the.
stacker.
