How They Feel out West.


The following communication from
Mr.. G. G. Written, whose pen is that OF a
ready writer, gives m an idea OF how the
people OF Colorado view the future in the
light of recent events ~
THE ever memorable election OF Novem-
Der 1916 is past, and the Silver child has
demonstrated to the people that it will
not have to be reared on a bottle. The
parents are still healthy and active. Like
many'fond parents, they anticipated that
its eye-teeth would be cut at an early age,
but the Trusts forced the people TO VIII
otherwise. The campaign of 1900 opened
in Denver the oath of November with a big
reception to William j. Bryan.
All are looking for tbs increased pros
perity promised by the new administra-
tion, and await the influx OF gold said to
be boarded up in the East.
There is 10 better place on earth to in
vest ID than here; but | can assure you
(co~nfidentially) that what is sent out here
will not all go back by the same railroad
until after a free coinage president Is
elected; the high altitude here is very
likely to affect seriously the weight and
value when returned beyond the big
river
The feeling between the East and West
has grown stronger, IL anything, oh this
side OF the river since election, and the
people are made OF the stud that doesn't
give up. 1ney WanIE Eastern cdplthls now
ever, and will get it. Colorado can stand
political adversely. Although considered
a mining state, her agricultural products
far exceed in value the output OF the
mines and are rapidly increasing; So is
her population. People raise their own
children here and don't have to adopt
them-two, four, six, and even eight and
ten in a family.
New England can not stand o years
more OF low prices for agricultural and
manufactured products, and high rates

The tramp question Is becoming so
pressing that mass meetings are being
held IN several of the counties of this
state to devise some form of relief. The
cupiditY of justices Cf the peace and law
officers makes the tramp an article OF
such expense that tax payers are grooming
under the burden.
It was satisfactorily settled long ago
that tramping has become q profession
as burglary Is aud should be dealt with
severely. Tie tramp exists because he
receives encouragement. # Is a nomadlc
form Of life which he enjoys and is willing
to suffer privations to escape labor
When other means fail him he has re
course to the officers Of the Law and he is
housed and fed, kept IN idleness and
when fully rested permitted to depart.
Private parties who feed tramps are not
relieving distress but encouraging va

against the practice Of giving anything
to tramps They are il no sense de
serving. are dangerous TO society and
ruirous in their example. The nuisance
can be suppressed by refusal to give it
encouragement.

Miss Kingsley, the English explorer,
has returned in safety from her travels
III the CamerCons, where she assembled
mountains 10000 feet high in search of
fish. The working classes in West
Africa are, however, greatly panied by
the announcement that she is going out
again. 1t appears that her fishing ex-
petitions require the services of porters
in regions where they are liable to be
seized and promptly eaten at every
stopping place, and where Miss Kings
ley's eloquence is their only protection.
Miss Kingsley mentions cheerfully that
in the Fangue country she did not come
across a single burial place.

GENERAL HARRISON has announced his
intention Of not being candidate for the
republican nomination for the presiden-
cy. The destination hinges on no con-
tingency but is outspoken and unequivo-
cal,
At no time was Mr.. Harrison's candi-
dacy pushed with the vIgor of personal
effort. He was the candidate of these
republicans who are more interested in
clean, business administration than in
partisan success. He would never have
been nominated while such men as Reed
and Mckinley were In the field. Each of
these represent Ideas which inspire party
fealty and earn the support of the I'M
thinking. Reed is the exponent of ex-
treme partlsanshlp; Mckinley of a pro-
hibltory tariff. Both are extremely anx-
ious to attain the presidency and either
would readily sacrifice principle to com
pass his ambition. With Harrison in the
chair OF the chief executive. as with Cleve-
land, there would be no fear OF financial
legislation which would prove injurious
TO the business interests. There is no
such guaranty in the success of Reed.
Mckinley or Allison.
Reed has tirted with the silver men
and Mckinley has sought their support
by criticlsing the action of those intent
upon averting financial disaster. The
election of Mckinley would mean arpro-
val of a tariff policy to which is dGe the
present depressed condition of business
The poison worked slowly but certainly.
When the victim Is on the road to recoy-
cry he is again TO be lnoculated with the
virus. Harrison is not an extremist in
the matter of protection ana is known to
be sound on the financial question, For
these reasons his withdrawal is to be re-
ggetted,
