Colorado Politics.

!. The. Colorado political -eauidron is
boiling vigorously and both parties are
confident of success. Every hall and
school house in the Centennial State is
crowded nightly with ye honest voters
listening with interest or otherwise to
the arguments of aspiring candidates
for Office or jealous orators who are
candidates for places on the ladder of
fame, and Dkat with torch-light pro-
cessions, music by the bands, speech
making and persistent button-holing,
Uncle Samuel's youngest daughter may
be said to be ablaze with excitement.
The Republican party of the state ap-
pears to be working Systematically and
with closed ranks, but there are
whispers among well posted members
Of '.trading'' here and there by GER
tain aspirant for the purple and fine
linen of the U. 8. Senate, who, in
his overweening anxiety to attain the
title of senator, is willing to sacrifice
Gov. Routt or any other man ON the
ticket, and even jeopardize the success
of the party, that he may secure a long
coveted honor. Such men should be
barred out of the party and given to
understand that base trickery will not
be tolerated. We expect to see the Re-
publican party come out successful at
the election, which occurs on Tues
day next, Oct. 3rd, but there are those
who are in a better position to
know than we who assert that the sue
cess full candidates will be half Repub-
licans and half Democrats.
The Democrats are battling with the
energy Of despair, and are really max
ing hard fight, and if defeated-a con-
summation devoutly to be hoped for
win never again present formidable
front in Colorado politics. The strug-
gle is most interesting one, both to
participants and lookers-on and we of
Wyoming can only say to the Republic
cans of the new state, "God speed the
right.''

Fastest Four Mile Rim on Record.
Louisville, Sept. q. Crowds of peo-
pie witnessed the run of Ten Brock to-
day against the famous time made by
Fellowcraft in the four-mile race at Sar-
atoga in 1871, namely, 7:19t, which has
been the b st on record. The track
was in good condition. Ada and Ten
Brock started together, but after lit
tie the latter horse took the lead and
steadily gained, making the first mile
in the very slow time of 1921. The
owner motioned the Jockey to go on,
and in compliance the second mile was
made in 1:45t, the third in 1:464, and
the fourth in 1:51a, being 81 seconds
quicker than Fellowcraft's time and 4
seconds quicker than Lexington's time.

BY the provisions of section FIVE of the four
teenth article of the constitution, ''in coun-
ties containing over 10000 inhabitants, all
county officers shall be paid by salary, and the
salary of any such officer and his clerks hereto
fore paid by fees shall not exceed the aggregate
amount of fees earned during his term and col
lected by OF for him."
The legislature passed bill at the session OF
1874 to make the law conform TO this require
ment, but as some OF it's provisions were at vari-
ance with the constitution, 1t did not receive ex
ecutive approval. IL is 70 be hoped that atithis
Sc zion Of the legislature aniact TO meet the OBJ
jections will be framed and become law. There
Is grave and reasonable complaint made about
the enormous amounts received in fees by the
occupants of some of the Offices in our larger
cities, and ID Is time these revenues should be
diverted into the Golfers of the people, and not
be made to enrich the few whose fortune 1t may
be TO possess them. The contests for the Offices,
ON account of their emOluments, are, moreover,
a fruitful source of the evils that attend upon
nominations and elections, and have tendency
TO degrade aud demoralize our politics. 1t Is the
part of wisdom and economy, therefore, and in
the interest Of good government that change
in this regard should be speedily made. In any
measure you may adopt, however. 1t should be
remembered that these offices are trusts of great
responsibility, and that the salaries paid should
be Commensurate with the duties and accounta-
bility of the incumbents.

June. 1925, I being sixty-five years old, did ride with my son Louis to see the lay ing of the cornerstone of Bunker Hill Monument, passing under an arch thrown across Washington Street in honor of the comeing again of our beloved Lafayette, and bearing this inscription, ,improvised by the poet Charles Sprague:
 .We bow not the neck. and we bend not the knee..
 Butour hearts, Lafayette, we surrender to thee."
 During his stay in Boston the Marquis de la Fayette dined at our house, and we had much comfortable converse together concerning affairs in France and in Amer ica; ant we have met again at the house of Madam Hancock (who, since the death of her husband. has married Captain Scott, under whose care I first went to England,) all three of us thankful to the Providence which had permitted us to clasp hands after so many aand varid vi. .cissitudes. It is the last meeting with old friends that can expect; they that danc- ed with me at the Province House or the Hancock Mansion sleep in foreign graves or within armorial carved vaults, and un- der r1der Puritan slabs of Copp's Hill. visited them but yesterday, and was mnded of an English ballad:
 We can trace out their names in the old krk-yard.
 One other event much not neglect to mention. Shortly after my return from Europe I sat once more in my aunt s pew in Kings Chapel, listening again to the notes of the organ, which was no longer decorated with the great gilt crown which had surmounted it in time past; all the coats of arms and escutcheons which had formerly been display ed along the walls and suspended from the pillars, after the manner of European churches, had also been taken away, and tine church itself was now Unitarian and not Episcopal. I was reused from my organizations on the changes which had taken place bv the voice of the preacher. It was not the regular pastor, but one who for that day supplied his place, and in spite of the unfamiliar black gown and the whitened hair, which had no need ot powder, I recognized Consider Dillaway.
 He had been taken prisoner by the British, and not exchanged until the close of the war, and thus it was we thought him dead. He breaches at wooden meeting-house not far from my home; he is married, and seems to have forgotten all the unhappy past, living most lovingly with the partner he has chosen. She is not like his early love-gay little Serena Pyncheon, with her pink padusay and pointed hat with its long white plume; she is a sober-faced woman, far advanced in years, who wears every Lord 's-day the same puce-colored satin gown and looks less to the Philadelphia fashions than to the assurance that
