We want to have plain talk with the
workingmen of Denver. We want to
impress upon them the fact that the re,
suit of the coming election in Arapahoe
county depends largely upon them.
It is among the laboring classes thai
Boss Chaffee expects to find sufficient
number of men who will sell their votes
to him that he may by corruptioe over
come the will of the honest voters of the
county. If he shall succeed, the work
ingmen must blame the yenal members
of their own class for putting political
power into the hands of a man who from
instinct and association IS foe to the
honesty and dignity of labor.
Without the purchased assistance oi
bad men Chaffee cannot carry his point
As the laboring classes outnumber ten tc
one the other elements of society. it is 8
PLAIN proposition that Chafee must GO
to the workingmen for assistance. There
fore we say that the laborers Of Denver
will, on Tuesday next, be put to a test
which will prove them to be either mer
of honest convictions, honor and indie
pendence, or poor wretches who have nc
other aim than to drag out an existence
and whose vote is not a representative
of their political principle, but a market
able commodity. y
I Chafee sincerely believes that they
are poor wretches. He boasts that be
can buy them whenever he may need
them He has clearly defined policy
regarding workingmen and he never
sweryes from it. He never appeals to
their manhood nor to their principle.
Whenever he speaks of them it is. to in
suit them. He cares not what his or
gans, the Tribune and the Times, say OF
them. This has been demonstrated in
this campaign. The only commerce
Chaffee will have with the workingmen
is strictly commercial !; he will buy his
vote. --. ..s.,s.e.,
We believe that the workingmen OF
Denver understand his attitude toward
them. We believe that they know they
will stultify themselves if they shall vote
for this man Graham. Believing that
they haye clear comprehension of the
merits of this fight, we think they will
betrue to themselves. If Chaffee should
succeed, his success would be a proof
that the workingmen are the miserable
vassals he believes them to be. i
But he will not succeed. We do not
believe that the meekest man win rest
under stigma like this without making
an attempt to remove it. Were the
workingmen less independent than they
are, they would be fired to indignation
by the abuse and contempt this man
Chaffee and his newspapers have heaped
upon them.
We ask the incorruptible workingmen
to use their influence with their weaker
brothers, to show them their duty and
to make plain to them the despicable
creatures they will make of themselves
if. they shall listen to the voice of Chat
fees corruption agents. As we have said,
the wage-workers of Denver will be put
to the test. Let them be united, and
prove that not only in individual cases,
but as class, our WorkinQmen are in
corruptible. Republican.

An Apology for Slang.

In slang humor or implied fun satire O.
some sort is more or less an element. Fol
example, when gentleman, who is in.
cllned to talk somewhat tediously upon
subject which he has at heart, and on
which his hearers don't care to listen, Is
told to Shire hall, he is generally able
TO see some satire and the others some
fun In the recommendation. Slang has,
In many cases, pith and pungency
which makes it not only pardonable, but
tolerable. It often expresses feeling,
If not thought, of the passing day,
which could not be so forcibly expressed
for the day-m any other phraseology.
1t is generally evanescent; but some.
times 1t endures and becomes q part Of
the recognized vocabulary of language,
For example, the word mob was origin
ally slang. It is supposed to be con-
traction-the first syllable of mobile
auLgus, a scornful phrase for the lowest
order of common people. Tandem,
also, was originally slang word. 1t is
Latin for sat length" but as applied to
driving two horses at length instead Of
abreast, it is just such Latin as nun
quamanimus for ''never mind" Another
slang word, swell, meaning grand, fine.
pretentious, is now perceptibly passing
into the recognized vocabulary of good
usage. Lit Is very convenient and ex-
press1ve word, and is now used by the
best speakers Of English without hesita-
ton. 1t can hardly fail to appear in
'the dictionary" of the next generation,

The Old National Pike

The opening of the Redstone branch
of the Pittsburgh, Virginia & Charles
ton Railroad marks still further decline
in the famous old National turnpike
from Cumberland to Wheeling ian
act to regulate the laying out and max
ing q road from Cumberland, Md, to
the State of Ohio,'' became law in
1906, and the first stage-coach carrying
the United States mails over that route
made its first trip on August l, 1918.
The distance was one hundred and thir-
ty miles and the total cost of construct
ing this great highway across the Allie
ghan;es was 81, 100000, Its traffic
soon became enormous, and inns to
accommodate the travelling public
sprang up SO thickly along its line that
they were said to average two to a mile.
The pike was admirably constructed,
but the heavy traffic which demon
strated its necessity put it in need of
frequent repairs, and the Government
finally turned it over to the States of
Pennsylvania, Maryland and Ohio, and
they established toll-gates to pay for its
maintenance. In 1852, with the OPEN
ing of the Pennsylvania Railroad to
Pittsburgh and the Baltimore & Ohio to
Wheeling, its decline began.
