had good time would be stating it
very mildly. Mrs. Taylor had quite a

and if you think the "IioosIer School

just invite him. Miss Farmer presided
at the organ and Messrs Warren and
Herbert Laird with guitars and Mr.. ).
a. Laird with violin, furnished the
music for the occasion. After the
"Feast of wax" they gathered around
the organ and sang "America." Speech
es were then called for and S. A. Laird
represented the teachers in presenting
Mr.. Taylor with a copy of John Halifax
as an appreciation of his kindness.
Mr.. Laird said at is not the worth of
of this volume, but the sincerity of feel
ing with which it is given. Speeches
followed by each teacher and visitors.
1t was delightful evening and Mr., and
Mrs. Taylor are very social entertainers.

The Reservoir Question.

In response to query from the Den.
yer Times, Senator Swink writes:
81 don't think our county will ask for
much legislation. Locally, what our coun-
ty will need will be moro general assist
ance and improvements, such as storage
of water and amendments to compel the
more economical use of water. We shall
also want amendments to collect inter.
est on deposits of the county funds the
same as the state, and some stock legis-
lation in the way Of driveways and driv-
ing"
Hon. J. Fl. Crowley and Senator Swink
will work together IN securing the legis-
il. O., measures to secure the storage OF
the abundant water of the Arkansas

Rocky Ford silver Club.

The first regular meeting OF the
Rocky Ford Silver Club was held al
Squire Robins office Saturday even
ing. DR.. II. g. Sigman presided, witt
G. M. Robins as secretary. Previous tc
announcing the regular program, Presi
dent Sigman introduced Hon. Plat
Wicks Of Pueblo. Mr.. Wicks gave an
interesting account of his campaigning
in Minnesota under the aus plces of the
hatiohal Committee. He gave the club a
sampIe Of the arguments which he used
TO convert eastern goldbugs to correct
ideas Of finance; but, unfortunately, he
Gid not convert enough of them. Mr..
Wicks' experience in the east proved to
him that silver sentiment made great
h1Hdway during the short time the issue
was sdaarely before the people. He
warmly commended club organization
and discussion.
N. w. Terry's theme was "Post. Elec-
tion Reflections" He spoke of the
great progress made by silver sentiment,
and did not find any cause for discourage
ment in the late defeat. When the
Missouri compromise was passed the
pro slavery leaders hattered themselves
that the slavery question was settled.
But Il was not settled, because 1t was
NOT settled right. Fremont's defeat.did
not squelch the Republican party. The
first battle OF Bull Run did not settle the
war. The great financial leaders who
espoused McKinley's cause were de-
ecribed as the commercial successors of
ff1e" money changers who were scourged
from the temple nearly 1900 years ago.
G. w. Fenlasou said that the pros
perity of the laborer was based on the
general prosperity of the whole country.
When good times prevail the laborer is
prospering. The mills cannot be started
and kept going unless the people are
earning something with which to buy.
TO restore the desired prosperity the
gold standard, with Its constantly appre-
ciating dollar, must be supplanted by BIZ
metalism.
: The program concluded by DR.. Purse
reading from the North American Re-
view an article by w. J. Bryan dealing
with the situation as seen after the close
of the campaign. 1t was very strong
and able argument, and we regret that
we have not space for extracts.
The next meeting will be held Satur-
day evening, Jan. 3, for which On inter-
esting program will be provided. One
comlnendab1e feature of the meeting is
limiting speeches to fifteen minutes.

The Court House Site.

Although La Junta got all she wanted
at the late election in regard to the new
court house, yet she is not happy. The
Times says;
"At this writing the court house is
causing as much trouble as it did before
election. There is some mutuality of un-
derstanding that it should be located in
the south side of the city park, but the
proposition now worrying the men with
the brains is Which way it shall face,
north or south. Gentlemen, for the sake
pf harmony and expedition, let it face
both ways. A two-faced court house
would be eminently in keeping with the
hpirit of the times"
