OF COURSE
The Money Loaners Want it.


Yes. of course, the money loaners of
Pueblo, the men who act us agents for
Eastern loan and mortgage companies
want consolidation, because in some
instances they could loan five per cent
more on real estate if this property were
within the corporate limits of Pueblo
These are among the men who are max
ing the most strenuous efforts for u
union. But are they prompted by any
desire TO do good turn Cor you? Is
there a man, woman or child in Bes-
semer who would be benefited if there
was a bigger mortgage on the town?
1t has been said, and with great deal
of truth. that too much money has
already been borrowed. People have
used their credit too freely and now
when lard times strike them they find
their obligations hard to meet
Those fellows who would further
plaster the town for the sake of getting
more commission for loaning money are
not friends and therefore their argu-
ments have no weight Look out for
them when they come around cleo
tioncering you and remind them that
the proper place for them 10 canvass is
among their own people

No sooner have the women obtained
the right to vote than designing
politicians are putting themselves for
ward to give advice and to point out
the way they should vote. There are
examples of it to be seen in Pueblo at
this time. Women can be trusted to
exercise their best Judgment in the ap-
preaching municipal elections and here
after, and they would do wise thing
to lay such oiicious chaps on the shelf.

IT might as well be understood that
the lake Minnequa property is not yet
"out of the woods" and is still within
the limits of the city. City Attorney
Lenpard with the firm of McAliney e
Arlington will test the case of its with
drawal in the court of appeals, and on
that decision will depend the case of
the withdrawal of the steel works as
we'll. Bessemer will win the suit be

THE law in regard to the voting
qualifications Of women is lame IN more
ways than one. That part which eN.
empts them from giving their age is
wrong, and the law is poorly construct.
ed in regard to naturalization. Under
it two sisters who are of age may come
from any foreign country to Colorado.
one maTrics an American citizen and
has all the rights Of franchise thereby
she having complied with the laws of
registration, while her sister who re.
mains single must bide her time and
become naturalized before she can
vote. The law needs pruning

IT is safe to say that sixty out of the
sixty men in Besscmer who talk
consolidation are men who in no way
identify themselves with the affairs of
the town, They have their residences
here but their business is down in
Pueblo as well as their affection, and
they are not Bessemer men in fact nor
in spirit. The other seven are con-
scientious. The loyal citizens of the
town know how to size up the an
nexation crowd.

THE county commissioners are con
templating several changes in the
fashionlng of the offices in the court
house. The office now occupied by
the county superintendent will be
merged into their own room and a rail
ing will draw the line between the
board and the public, which will be a
very good thing as the room at present
is but hole in the wall Among other
things two rooms will be cut off of the
large court room and couple of the
county officials must go above.

SUPPOSE the two towns would annex,
Is there any one foolish enough to
think for holy minute that south
Pueblo would strive to build up this
part of town even though political
improvements south of the river2 Not
much. The improvements that would
come above the second mesa wouldn't
be noticeable in ten years. People up
this way are keeping their eyes open

SOUTH Pueblo says to Bessemer, 'you
must come in" while North Pueblo
says just as emphatically, you shall
not come in." 1t is Hobsons choice in
looking to either as friend rs each is
prompted in this matter by its own
selfish interests. Well, this town isn't
knocking at the door for admittance
and has respect enough for itself to
administer a deserved rebuke to both
sides if the opportunity presents itself.

NEARLY all the Lake avenue people
favor consolidation. Why? Because
by consolidation they would expect to

would extend to Bessemer through con-
