IT has been said that if certain party
is successful in Colorado next November
the citizens OF the state will be deprived
of the pleasure and profit of borrowing
money. This should not be as much Of a
scare as it seems on its face. One great
cause OF general lament just now is the
large amount of money which must go
east to pay interest on loans contracted
in the past. But for the ease with which
money could be borrowed the recent PAN
ic would never have afflicted the nation.
We all deplore the curse of debt when
hundred of thousands must be diverted
to pay interest, nevertheless there is an
anxiety to continue the same conditions
which have brought such widespread
bankruptcy. II it was certain that the
success OF the Populists would prevent
the citizens of Colorado from increasing
their interest-bearin obligations it would
be blessing to give a second term to
His Excellency With-Wheels-in- His
Head.

SOME days since the Rocky Mountain
News asked its correspondents east OF
the mountains for a report on the Russian
thistle. The replies showed that it exists
to greater or less extent over large
portion OF the state. The first agitation
of this subject is to be credited to the
ENTERPRISE. In the latter part of July
NJ. Badger, Grand Valley farmer,
brought to our Office a specimen of the
thistle. The same day a correspondent
at Catlin wrote in regard to the pest in
that section. In the ENTERPRISE of
July Goth appeared long article calling
attention to the danger which was threat
ened, This was the first intimation that
the thistle existed in the state. The news
spread, other localities began to investi-
gate, and it was soon found that wide
area was infested.

capital be further frightened that may
be made more difficult. And then we
wish capitalists to come to our state and
help develop our unbounded resources.
Nothing should be done to discourage
this. Whether or not the election OF the
Populist ticket would bring disaster we
do not know. And if, to solve the ques-
ton we go to those daily and weekly pa.
pers which are presumed to make q
study OF these questions, no decisive light
is received. We suspect that the ENTER

The annual meeting of the Fair As
sociation, which was to have been held
last Monday, was postponed until Satur-
day next, hoping that a larger attendance
would be secnred. There should be a
more general interest taken in the Fair
by Otero County farmers. From the be-
ginning it has been a marked success in
conferring benefits on the farmers and in
attracting attention to the great resour-
ces OF the county. In doing this it has
been only self-sustaining, no profits hav
ing ever been made to appl y to the pur-
chase of the grounds and other original
expenditures.
The burden and responsibility of the
management have been carried by the
few for the benefit Of the many. This
condition should no longer exist. The
association has obligations which should
be met, and every well-to-do farmer in
the county should take from $40 to $50
In stock to assist in putting the associa-
ton on a basis which will leave it free
from debt. The management will then
feel justified in going ahead and making
the improvements which the increasing
exhibits and larger attendance make nee
essary. At the postponed meeting next
Saturday a committee will doubtless be
appointed to place additional stock, and
every farmer in the county should hold
himself in readiness to do his utmost in
stock subscriptions. The Fair is worth
much money to you and you ought to be
one of its financial hackers.

that he had not yet heard of an Otero
man who was not for Fred. A. Sabine for

Such tribute to the worth and standing
of a candidate is phenomenal and indi-
Gates a fitness for the office which should
commend him to the support of voters in
other counties where he is not so we'll
known as at home. No mistake will be
made in electing Mr.. Sabin for the office
OF district attorney. The duties will be
discharged with credit to himself and

The amendment to the state constitu-
tion giving authority to the legislature to
issue bonds to the amount of 81, 500, 900 to
make whole the school fund and take the
balance OF the floating debt Of the state
ought to receive the vote OF the citizens
interested in the public schools and of all
others who would restore the tarnished
credit of the state. Until the bonds are
issued, and it is the only way that money
can be raised, the school districts of the
state will be deprived OF from $4,000 to
$4,000 of annual revenue.-Denver News.

The Proposed Constitutional Amend
Mlent.

The Proposed Constitutional Amend
ment.
There are two constitutional amend
ments proposed to the people of the state
this fall. One Of them, defining and re-
stricting the purposes for which bonds
may be issued, calls for little comment.
The other is subject : of considerable
controversy. Itprovides for the refund
ing OF the floating debt OF the state, at u
lower rate of interest than is now paid.
The debt now exists in the form of war
rants, which are drawing ten per cent
interest. The amendment authorizes the
issue of bonds to the amount of 81 100000
in order to consolidate this debt, and re-
duce the interest. The objection to this
amendment is that large part of the
81 100000 proposed to be funded is for
obligations fraldently incurred. The
Seventh General Assembly, frequently
spoken of as "The Robber Seventh"
authorized the issuance OF warrants
largely in excess of the constitutional
limit. These warrants were by some
hocus pocus foisted on the school fund
The amount now due the school fund on
illegal warrants is over S7O0,000. Sever
al efforts have been made to legalize
these excess warrants, Gov. Routt vetoing
one bill for that purpose. The right way
to adjust the matter would be to make
those guilty Of the steal pay the bill.
the state are confronted with dilemma:
To vote for the issuance of bonds to pay
these fraudulent warrants seems to con-
sent to gigantic robbery, but to refuse
to do SO cheats the school fund out Of the
interest of large sum which is needed
by the various districts. It's bad job
any way you look at it.
