THE NONE.

One year ago the G. A. r. en-
campment decided to move the
Soldiers Home to Ft. Lyon. This
year it has decided to remove it to
Golden. Last year the plea was
that the climate and conveniences
were better at Ft. Lyons; this year
the reasons which actuated the del
egates are more plausible: they
did not attack the people of Monte
Vista. the valley nor the conven-
fences. The G. A. r. realize that
the old boys are lonesome here.
They are far away from Denver
the center Of all musements-and
are practically shut out from see-
ing their relatives by reason of
the long distance to travel by rail.
The resolution passed by the en-.
c"mpmeut says:
"Our ambition to have the home
located at Golden is based upon
it's proximity to Denver. We feel
that with our comrades at Golden
they will be the recipients of many
courtesies and hospitalitles which.
because of the distance, it is i'm
possible to extend to them now at
Monte Vista. Denver has a large
number of posts of the G. A. r.
and OF the Relief corps, the men,
bers OF which will gladly go to
Golden at frequent intervals and
cheer the existence of the inmates
by those little kindnesses which
make the world KIN. We believe
we shall be able to draft Il bill
which will be satisfactory to the
people of Monte Vista aud Golden.
The removal of the home will un-
doubtedly be gratifying not alone
to the veterans who are in the
Eome, but to every member of the
q. A. X. in the state"
The preparations of the bill TO
remove the home will be under
taken within . month. Veterans
all over the state will he asked to
determine the sentiments of csndi.
dates for the Legislature concern
ing the removal OF the home, and
have them promise to support the
measure. Every G. A. r. and Re-
Lief Corps post in the state will be
behind the bill when it finds its
way into the Legislature.
This bill will provide for the re-
moval Of the State Reform school
at Golden to Monte Vista and will
naturally have the support of all
the sheriffs in the State a. it will
make more mileage for their Office
at the expense Of the several coun-
ties in the state.
With the G. A. Il. and the sher.
ills on the side OF the removal OF
these two state institutions it will
be next to impossible to beat the
bill. Nobody but n Moo.ly could
have killed the bill to remove the
home to Fort Lyons at the last
session OF the Assembly, and every
old soldier, when he fully realizes
the change TO Fort Lyons would
have been . sad mistake, will
thank Senator Moody for his Of
forts in their behalf.

THERE is but little demand for
money in the East. Interest rates
in New York are now as low as
three and four per cent on prime
mercantile paper and is abundant
at one and half per cent on call

preached without fear and trembling.
But tradition, which woman theoretical
ly seeks to abolish, has surrounded this
simple duty with such dense halo Of
responsibility, that she shrinks from the
task without discovering that the
imaginary obstacles would dissolve at
her approach.
Reciprocity should be cultivated in
clubs. II ihsre is anything OF value
pass it on. The experience Of one club
il known. is sure to help another, per-
haps where least expected. And no bond
OF sympathy can exist between organiza-
tions. unless some method is provided
for learning the movements Of each.
1t is selfish spirit Of exclusiveness
which would keep club work entirely
for it's members, and allow no Others the
benefit OF its programs.
Let each club give Of the best OF its
experience and plans to swell the mighty
impulse which will raise the club move
ment to be a real worlds blessing.

Richards Is Longs Boss in Sumner
County,

One Of the most obnoxious features
about Chester | Longs candidacy in
Sumner comfy is that he has cOnSti-
tuted Andy Richards his entire cab
met of political advisers. Here is
where Mr.. Long has made his serious
mistake. 1t has been given out fat
footed that no man from Sumner
county could have an appointment,
unless Endorsed by Andy. An illus
tration: A postmaster was to be ap-
pointed a: DOSter. Col. Harry Lopez
who is congressional committeeman
from this county received a letter
from Mr.. Long stating that if the
applicant was acceptable to the Re-
politicians around DOster he should
secure Andy Richards indorsment
and he would be appointed. When
Harry Lopez received that letter it is
said by some of his closest friends that
he swOre in various languages and
could be heard over in a neigboring
county. OF course this is exaggerated
but the temptation to hyperbOle must
be considered. Why was Hon. Sol
futile ignored? He was the man
first under political custom to be con-
sidered. Why was Chairman Emer-
son ignored? He stands at the head
of the Republican organization in the
county. Why did Mr.. Long ignore
all the legal and regular channels in
this and all other cases in order 20
place the laurel crown on Andy Rich.
ards head? Let the Republicans Of

fall down and worship Longs little
