SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying


The white Republican party OF
the south has come to stay, and
with it new era for the south will
be inaugurated. Politics has every
thing to do with business and
thoughtful men all over the south
have solved the cause of our
troubles.
The election of a Republican
Congressman in this district will
do more for Texas than all the De-
mocracy in the United States. 1t
will be a forcible protest against
the free wool Democracy that has
caused wide spread ruin through
out the entire western country.
X
Hogg's trip north will only ex-
cite ridicule-he meant to say and
do the proper thing but one Re-
publican congressman from Texas
is worth a million times more
than Hogg's talk to the Boston
people.
Free wool today is the rock up.
on which the Democratic party
will go to pieces. 1t is an outrage
without excuse, a wrong without
pal iation. The voters of this con-
gressional district have it in their
power to undo the action of the
Democratic party-they can only
do so by electing a Republican to
Congress. No compromise upon the
dead issue of Sam Vandalism.
The people of our city can be
congratulated upon their situation
and advantages; all we lack is adj
vertisement. Fl. Worth and Dali
las are well advertised cities, Den
yer is a city built up by advertise
ment. A San Antonio gentleman
attending the Denver convention,
expressed his disappointment up
on viewing Denver, nothing came
up to the advertisement, the eli
mate, the scenery, the city-all
were short Of his preconceived
ideas-yet it is marvel.
Millions Of Eastern capital had
been put in Denver blocks; it's
healing waters; its desert air; it's
snow-capped hills; it's mines; its
irrigated fields, have all been well
advertised.

The Soap Bubbles Colors.

When light impinges on the soap bub-
BILE, part of it is reflected from the exterior
surface and part enters the film and is re-
hected from the interior surface. This
latter portion traverses the water medium
between the two surfaces twice and is
therefore kept behind the first reflected raw.
The two sets of waves interfere with each
other and produce a colored light instead
of white light. Other waves, again. NAV

the following incident furnishes, that the
